2 * Re-enable "fsck -l" when it is ready:
3 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=79576#c5
5 * Should systemctl status \* work on all unit types, not just .service?
7 * enabling an instance unit creates a pointless link, and
8 the unit will be started with getty@getty.service:
9 $ systemctl enable getty@.service
10 ln -s '/usr/lib/systemd/system/getty@.service' '/etc/systemd/system/getty.target.wants/getty@.service'
12 * Dangling symlinks of .automount unit files in .wants/ directories, set up
13 automount points even when the original .automount file did not exist
14 anymore. Only the .mount unit was still around.
16 * properly handle .mount unit state tracking when two mount points are stacked one on top of another on the exact same mount point.
18 * shorten the message to sane length:
20 Cannot add dependency job for unit display-manager.service, ignoring: Unit display-manager.service failed to load: No such file or directory. See system logs and 'systemctl status display-manager.service' for details.
22 * sd_bus_unref() is broken regarding self-references and "pseudo thread-safety".
23 See the comment in sd_bus_unref() for more..
26 * Fedora: when installing fedora with yum --installroot /var/run is a directory, not a symlink
27 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=975864
29 * Fedora: add an rpmlint check that verifies that all unit files in the RPM are listed in %systemd_post macros.
31 * Fedora: post FPC ticket to move add %tmpfiles_create to the packaging guidelines
35 * tmpfiles: add support for "+" suffix for more commands
37 * support empty /etc boots nicely:
38 - tmpfiles: add nice way to copy files /usr/share/etc → /etc
40 * generator that automatically discovers btrfs subvolumes, identifies their purpose based on some xattr on them.
42 * support setting empty environment variables with Environment= and EnvironmentFile=
44 * machined/machinectl: sort IP addresses we return by scope and protocol
45 * machined: write NSS module for looking up IP addresses for machines
47 * timer units: actually add extra delays to timer units with high AccuracySec values, don't start them already when we are awake...
50 - hookup with networkd: NTP servers from dhcp
52 * a way for container managers to turn off getty starting via $container_headless= or so...
54 * figure out a nice way how we can let the admin know what child/sibling unit causes cgroup membership for a specific unit
56 * add a kernel command line option to enable the debug shell
58 * journalctl: add the ability to look for the most recent process of a binary. journalctl /usr/bin/X11 --pid=-1 or so...
60 * set NOTIFY_SOCKET also for control processes
62 * drop parsing of chkconfig header lines from service.c
64 * mount_cgroup_controllers(): symlinks need to get the label applied
66 * For timer units: add some mechanisms so that timer units that trigger immediately on boot do not have the services they run added to the initial transaction and thus confuse Type=idle.
68 * Add RPM macros for registering/unregistering binfmt drop-ins
70 * Add timeout to early-boot, and shut down the system if it is hit. Solves the laptop-in-bag problem and is useful for embedded cases
72 * Run most system services with cgroupfs read-only and procfs with a more secure mode (doesn't work, since the hidepid= option is per-pid-namespace, not per-mount)
74 * sd-event: generate a failure of a default event loop is executed out-of-thread
76 * expose "Locked" property on logind sesison objects
78 * add bus api to query unit file's X fields.
80 * consider adding RuntimeDirectoryUser= + RuntimeDirectoryGroup=
82 * sd-event: define more intervals where we will shift wakeup intervals around in, 1h, 6h, 24h, ...
85 - Support LUKS for root devices
86 - Define new partition type for encrypted swap? Support probed LUKS for encrypted swap?
87 - Make /home automount rather than mount?
89 * improve journalctl performance by loading journal files
90 lazily. Encode just enough information in the file name, so that we
91 do not have to open it to know that it is not interesting for us, for
92 the most common operations.
94 * add generator that pulls in systemd-network from containers when
95 CAP_NET_ADMIN is set, more than the loopback device is defined, even
96 when it is otherwise off
98 * MessageQueueMessageSize= and RLimitFSIZE= (and suchlike) should use parse_iec_size().
100 * "busctl status" works only as root on dbus1, since we cannot read
103 * implement Distribute= in socket units to allow running multiple
104 service instances processing the listening socket, and open this up
107 * socket units: support creating sockets in different namespace,
108 opening it up for JoinsNamespaceOf=. This would require to fork off
109 a tiny process that joins the namespace and creates/binds the socket
110 and passes this back to PID1 via SCM_RIGHTS. This also could be used
111 to allow Chown/chgrp on sockets without requiring NSS in PID 1.
113 * New service property: maximum CPU and wallclock runtime for a service
115 * introduce bus call FreezeUnit(s, b), as well as "systemctl freeze
116 $UNIT" and "systemctl thaw $UNIT" as wrappers around this. The calls
117 should SIGSTOP all unit processes in a loop until all processes of
118 it are fully stopped. This can later be used for app management by
119 desktop UIs such as gnome-shell to freeze apps that are not visible
120 on screen, not unlike how job control works on the shell
123 - manager property enumeration was broken when systemd moved to /usr/lib/
126 - implement per-slice CPUFairScheduling=1 switch
127 - handle jointly mounted controllers correctly
128 - introduce high-level settings for RT budget, swappiness
129 - how to reset dynamically changed unit cgroup attributes sanely?
130 - when reloading configuration, apply new cgroup configuration
131 - when recursively showing the cgroup hierarchy, optionally also show
132 the hierarchies of child processes
135 - allow creating auxiliary units with the same call
136 - add field to transient units that indicate whether systemd or somebody else saves/restores its settings, for integration with libvirt
137 - ensure scope units may be started only a single time
139 * Automatically configure swap partition to use for hibernation by looking for largest swap partition on the root disk?
141 * when we detect low battery and no AC on boot, show pretty splash and refuse boot
143 * machined, localed: when we try to kill an empty cgroup, generate an ESRCH error over the bus
145 * libsystemd-journal, libsystemd-login, libudev: add calls to easily attach these objects to sd-event event loops
147 * be more careful what we export on the bus as (usec_t) 0 and (usec_t) -1
149 * unify dispatch table in systemctl_main() and friends
151 * Automatically configure swap partition to use for hibernation by looking for largest swap partition on the root disk?
153 * rfkill,backlight: we probably should run the load tools inside of the udev rules so that the state is properly initialized by the time other software sees it
155 * After coming back from hibernation reset hibernation swap partition using the /dev/snapshot ioctl APIs
157 * If we try to find a unit via a dangling symlink, generate a clean
158 error. Currently, we just ignore it and read the unit from the search
161 * refuse boot if /etc/os-release is missing or /etc/machine-id cannot be set up
163 * given that logind now lets PID 1 do all nasty work, we can
164 probably reduce the capability set it retains substantially.
165 (we need CAP_SYS_ADMIN for drmSetMaster(), so maybe not worth it)
167 * btrfs raid assembly: some .device jobs stay stuck in the queue
169 * make sure gdm does not use multi-user-x but the new default X configuration file, and then remove multi-user-x from systemd
171 * man: the documentation of Restart= currently is very misleading and suggests the tools from ExecStartPre= might get restarted.
173 * load .d/*.conf dropins for device units
175 * allow implementation of InaccessibleDirectories=/ plus
176 ReadOnlyDirectories=... for whitelisting files for a service.
179 - when kdbus does not take our message without memfds, try again with memfds
180 - systemd-bus-proxyd needs to enforce good old XML policy
181 - allow updating attach flags during runtime
182 - pid1: peek into activating message when activating a service
183 - introduce sd_bus_emit_object_added()/sd_bus_emit_object_removed() that automatically includes the build-in interfaces in the list
184 - port to sd-resolve for connecting to TCP dbus servers
185 - see if we can drop more message validation on the sending side
186 - add API to clone sd_bus_message objects
187 - make AddMatch calls on dbus1 transports async?
188 - kdbus: matches against source or destination pids for an "strace -p"-like feel. Problem: The PID info needs to be available in userspace too...
189 - longer term: priority inheritance
192 - NameLost/NameAcquired obsolete
194 - "const" properties (posted)
196 - update systemd.special(7) to mention that dbus.socket is only about the compatibility socket now
197 - test bloom filter generation indexes
200 - allow multiple signal handlers per signal?
202 * in the final killing spree, detect processes from the root directory, and
203 complain loudly if they have argv[0][0] == '@' set.
204 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=961044
206 * investigate endianness issues of UUID vs. GUID
208 * dbus: when a unit failed to load (i.e. is in UNIT_ERROR state), we
209 should be able to safely try another attempt when the bus call LoadUnit() is invoked.
211 * add a pam module that passes the hdd passphrase into the PAM stack and then expires it, for usage by gdm auto-login.
213 * add a pam module that on password changes updates any LUKS slot where the password matches
215 * maybe add a generator that looks for "systemd.run=" on the kernel cmdline for container usercases...
217 * timedatctl, localectl: possibly make some commands work without the daemon, for chroot situations...
219 * timedatectl: print a nicer message when enabling ntp fails because ntpd/chrony are not installed
221 * cgtop: make cgtop useful in a container
224 - add 'set -e' to scripts in test/
225 - make stuff in test/ work with separate output dir
227 * systemctl delete x.snapshot leaves no trace in logs (at least at default level).
229 * make the coredump collector tool move itself into the user's cgroup
230 so that the coredump is properly written to the user's own journal
233 * seems that when we follow symlinks to units we prefer the symlink
234 destination path over /etc and /usr. We should not do that. Instead
235 /etc should always override /run+/usr and also any symlink
238 * when isolating, try to figure out a way how we implicitly can order
239 all units we stop before the isolating unit...
241 * teach ConditionKernelCommandLine= globs or regexes (in order to match foobar={no,0,off})
243 * after all byte-wise realloc() is slow, even on glibc, so i guess we
244 need manual exponential loops after all
246 * BootLoaderSpec: Clarify that the kernel has to be in $BOOT. Clarify
247 that the boot loader should be installed to the ESP. Define a way
248 how an installer can figure out whether a BLS compliant boot loader
251 * think about requeuing jobs when daemon-reload is issued? usecase:
252 the initrd issues a reload after fstab from the host is accessible
253 and we might want to requeue the mounts local-fs acquired through
256 * systemd-inhibit: make taking delay locks useful: support sending SIGINT or SIGTERM on PrepareForSleep()
258 * journal-or-kmsg is currently broken? See reverted commit 4a01181e460686d8b4a543b1dfa7f77c9e3c5ab8.
260 * remove any syslog support from log.c -- we probably cannot do this before split-off udev is gone for good
262 * shutdown logging: store to EFI var, and store to USB stick?
264 * write UI tool that pops up emergency messages from the journal as notification
266 * think about window-manager-run-as-user-service problem: exit 0 → activate shutdown.target; exit != 0 → restart service
268 * use "log level" rather than "log priority" everywhere
270 * timedate: have global on/off switches for auto-time (NTP), and auto-timezone that connman can subscribe to.
272 * merge unit_kill_common() and unit_kill_context()
274 * introduce ExecCondition= in services
277 - honor language efi variables for default language selection (if there are any?)
278 - honor timezone efi variables for default timezone selection (if there are any?)
279 - change bootctl to be backed by systemd-bootd to control temporary and persistent default boot goal plus efi variables
281 * maybe do not install getty@tty1.service symlink in /etc but in /usr?
283 * re-enable "make check" for gtk-doc (broken for unknown reason)
285 * fstab: add new mount option x-systemd-after=/foobar/waldo to allow manual dependencies to other mount points
286 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=812826
288 * print a nicer explanation if people use variable/specifier expansion in ExecStart= for the first word
290 * mount: turn dependency information from /proc/self/mountinfo into dependency information between systemd units.
293 - logind: optionally, ignore idle-hint logic for autosuspend, block suspend as long as a session is around
294 - When we update the kernel all kind of hibernation should be prohibited until shutdown/reboot
295 - logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
296 - Add pretty name for seats in logind
297 - logind: allow showing logout dialog from system?
298 - we should probably handle SIGTERM/SIGINT to not leave dot files around, just in case
299 - session scopes/user unit: add RequiresMountsFor for the home directory of the user
300 - add Suspend() bus calls which take timestamps to fix double suspend issues when somebody hits suspend and closes laptop quickly.
301 - if pam_systemd is invoked by su from a process that is outside of a
302 any session we should probably just become a NOP, since that's
303 usually not a real user session but just some system code that just
306 * exec: when deinitializating a tty device fix the perms and group, too, not only when initializing. Set access mode/gid to 0620/tty.
308 * service: watchdog logic: for testing purposes allow ping, but do not require pong
311 - import and delete pstore filesystem content at startup
312 - journald: also get thread ID from client, plus thread name
313 - journal: when waiting for journal additions in the client always sleep at least 1s or so, in order to minimize wakeups
314 - add API to close/reopen/get fd for journal client fd in libsystemd-journal.
315 - fallback to /dev/log based logging in libsystemd-journal, if we cannot log natively?
316 - declare the local journal protocol stable in the wiki interface chart
317 - journal: reuse XZ context
318 - sd-journal: speed up sd_journal_get_data() with transparent hash table in bg
319 - journald: when dropping msgs due to ratelimit make sure to write
320 "dropped %u messages" not only when we are about to print the next
321 message that works, but alraedy after a short tiemout
322 - check if we can make journalctl by default use --follow mode inside of less if called without args?
323 - maybe add API to send pairs of iovecs via sd_journal_send
324 - journal: when writing journal auto-rotate if time jumps backwards
325 - journal: add a setgid "systemd-journal" utility to invoke from libsystemd-journal, which passes fds via STDOUT and does PK access
326 - journactl: support negative filtering, i.e. FOOBAR!="waldo",
327 and !FOOBAR for events without FOOBAR.
328 - journal: send out marker messages every now and then, and immediately sync with fdatasync() afterwards, in order to have hourly guaranteed syncs.
329 - journal-send.c, log.c: when the log socket is clogged, and we drop, count this and write a message about this when it gets unclogged again.
330 - journal: find a way to allow dropping history early, based on priority, other rules
331 - journal: When used on NFS, check payload hashes
332 - journald: check whether it is OK if the client can still modify delivered journal entries
333 - journal live copy, based on libneon (client) and libmicrohttpd (server)
334 - journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
335 - refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
336 - journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
337 - journal: deal nicely with byte-by-byte copied files, especially regards header
338 - journal: store euid in journal if it differs from uid
339 - journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the components would fit
340 - Replace utmp, wtmp, btmp, and lastlog completely with journal
341 - journalctl: instead --after-cursor= maybe have a --cursor=XYZ+1 syntax?
342 - tmpfiles: when applying ownership to /run/log/journal, also do this for the journal fails contained in it
343 - when a kernel driver logs in a tight loop, we should ratelimit that too.
344 - journald: optionally, log debug messages to /run but everything else to /var
345 - journald: when we drop syslog messages because the syslog socket is
346 full, make sure to write how many messages are lost as first thing
347 to syslog when it works again.
348 - journald: make sure ratelimit is actually really per-service with the new cgroup changes
349 - change systemd-journal-flush into a service that stays around during
350 boot, and causes the journal to be moved back to /run on shutdown,
351 so that we do not keep /var busy. This needs to happen synchronously,
352 hence doing this via signals is not going to work.
355 - document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fields in
356 [Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
357 - man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
358 - document the exit codes when services fail before they are exec()ed
359 - document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
360 - document in wiki how to map ical recurrence events to systemd timer unit calendar specifications
361 - add a man page containing packaging guidelines and recommending usage of things like Documentation=, PrivateTmp=, PrivateNetwork= and ReadOnlyDirectories=/etc /usr.
362 - document systemd-journal-flush.service properly
363 - documentation: recommend to connect the timer units of a service to the service via Also= in [Install]
364 - man: document the very specific env the shutdown drop-in tools live in
365 - man: extend runlevel(8) to mention that runlevels suck, and are dead. Maybe add runlevel(7) with a note about that too
366 - man: add more examples to man pages
367 - man: maybe sort directives in man pages, and take sections from --help and apply them to man too
370 - systemctl list-jobs - show dependencies
371 - add systemctl switch to dump transaction without executing it
372 - Add a verbose mode to "systemctl start" and friends that explains what is being done or not done
373 - "systemctl disable" on a static unit prints no message and does
374 nothing. "systemctl enable" does nothing, and gives a bad message
375 about it. Should fix both to print nice actionable messages.
376 - print nice message from systemctl --failed if there are no entries shown, and hook that into ExecStartPre of rescue.service/emergency.service
377 - add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
378 - systemctl enable: improve the success messages (i.e. more human readable, less shell-like)
379 - systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into does not exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
380 - systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
381 - support "systemctl stop foobar@.service" to stop all units matching a certain template
382 - Something is wrong with symlink handling of "autovt@.service" in "systemctl list-unit-files"
383 - better error message if you run systemctl without systemd running
384 - systemctl status output should should include list of triggering units and their status
387 - "systemctl mask" should find all names by which a unit is accessible
388 (i.e. by scanning for symlinks to it) and link them all to /dev/null
389 - "systemctl disable" of a unit instance removes all symlinks, but should
390 only remove the instance symlink (systemctl disable of a template
391 unit however should remove them all).
392 - systemctl list-unit-files should list generated files (and probably with a new state "generated" for them, or so)
393 - systemctl: maybe add "systemctl add-wants" or so...
395 * deal with sendmail/postfix exclusivity
398 - timer units should get the ability to trigger when:
399 o CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (TFD_TIMER_CANCEL_ON_SET)
401 - Support 2012-02~4 as syntax for specifying the fourth to last day of the month.
402 - calendarspec: support value ranges with ".." notation. Example: 2013-4..8-1
403 - when parsing calendar timestamps support the UTC timezone (even if we will not support arbitrary timezone specs, support UTC itself certainly makes sense), also support syntaxes such as +0200
404 - Modulate timer frequency based on battery state
406 * update the kernel's TZ (sys_tz) when DST changes
408 * sync down the system time to the RTC when:
409 - CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (the user explicitely requested a time set)
410 - DST/timezone changes && ntp is active && RTC-in-localtime (never do it without ntp)
411 This takes care of syncing ntpdate updates to the RTC, and DST updates for localtime
412 mode, it will never touch the RTC if the no reliable time source is active or the
413 user did not request anything like it.
415 * libunwind support for coredump pattern hook, and includes this in
416 the message for coredumps. After all, libunwind is now capable to
417 unwind coredumps since a few weeks ago. This probably requires that
418 we have nice support for multi-line messages on display in
419 logs-show.c. Alternatively: use libelfutil, which seems to be the
420 better supported alternative.
422 * add libsystemd-password or so to query passwords during boot using the password agent logic
424 * If we show an error about a unit (such as not showing up) and it has no Description string, then show a description string generated form the reverse of unit_name_mangle().
426 * fedup: add --unit to systemctl switch-root somehow
427 * fedup: do not delete initrd on switch-root
430 * timedated: refuse time changes when NTP is on
432 * clean up date formatting and parsing so that all absolute/relative timestamps we format can also be parsed
434 * on shutdown: move utmp, wall, audit logic all into PID 1 (or logind?), get rid of systemd-update-utmp-runlevel
436 * add "factory" instructions to setup an empty /etc + /var
437 - used to setup a new container from a shared /usr
438 - superset of tmpfiles model
439 - instructions shipped by packages and stored in /usr/lib/
440 - compose /etc/passwd and /etc/group, copy files
441 - able to create uid + gid used by packages, for file ownership
443 * make repeated alt-ctrl-del presses printing a dump, or even force a reboot without
444 waiting for the timeout
446 * hostnamed: before returning information from /etc/machine-info.conf check the modification data and reread. Similar for localed, ...
448 * currently x-systemd.timeout is lost in the initrd, since crypttab is copied into dracut, but fstab is not
451 - bind mount read-only the cgroup tree higher than nspawn
452 - refuses to boot containers without /etc/machine-id (OK?), and with empty /etc/machine-id (not OK).
453 - support taking a btrfs snapshot at startup and dropping it afterwards
456 - cryptsetup-generator: allow specification of passwords in crypttab itself
457 - move cryptsetup key caching into kernel keyctl?
458 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54982
459 - support rd.luks.allow-discards= kernel cmdline params in cryptsetup generator
461 * hw watchdog: optionally try to use the preset watchdog timeout instead of always overriding it
462 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54712
464 * after deserializing sockets in socket.c we should reapply sockopts and things
466 * make timer units go away after they elapsed
468 * come up with a nice way to write queue/read_ahead_kb for a block device without interfering with readahead
470 * move PID 1 segfaults to /var/lib/systemd/coredump?
472 * create /sbin/init symlinks from the build system
474 * Query Paul Moore about relabelling socket fds while they are open
476 * allow writing multiple conditions in unit files on one line
478 * explore multiple service instances per listening socket idea
480 * MountFlags=shared acts as MountFlags=slave right now.
482 * drop PID 1 reloading, only do reexecing (difficult: Reload()
483 currently is properly synchronous, Reexec() is weird, because we
484 cannot delay the response properly until we are back, so instead of
485 being properly synchronous we just keep open the fd and close it
486 when done. That means clients do not get a successful method reply,
487 but much rather a disconnect on success.
489 * properly handle loop back mounts via fstab, especially regards to fsck/passno
491 * allow services with no ExecStart= but with an ExecStop=
493 * dracut-shutdown needs to be ordered before unmounting /boot
495 * initialize the hostname from the fs label of /, if /etc/hostname does not exist?
497 * rename "userspace" to "core-os"
499 * load-fragment: when loading a unit file via a chain of symlinks
500 verify that it is not masked via any of the names traversed.
502 * introduce Type=pid-file
504 * change Requires=basic.target to RequisiteOverride=basic.target
506 * when breaking cycles drop sysv services first, then services from /run, then from /etc, then from /usr
508 * automount: implement expire:
509 - set superblock timeout AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_TIMEOUT_CMD
510 - periodically run AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_EXPIRE_CMD
511 - every timeout/4 (original autofs logic)
512 - blocking, needs a thread
514 - receive expire packet on pipe if kernel tells the timeout is over
516 - answer expire packet on pipe with AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_{READY,FAIL}_CMD
517 - AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_EXPIRE_CMD returns
519 * ExecOnFailure=/usr/bin/foo
522 - remove src/udev/udev-builtin-firmware.c (CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER=n)
525 - add trigger --subsystem-match=usb/usb_device device
526 - reimport udev db after MOVE events for devices without dev_t
528 * when a service has the same env var set twice we actually store it twice and return that in systemctl show -p... We should only show the last setting
530 * introduce mix of BindTo and Requisite
532 * There's currently no way to cancel fsck (used to be possible via C-c or c on the console)
534 * add option to sockets to avoid activation. Instead just drop packets/connections, see http://cyberelk.net/tim/2012/02/15/portreserve-systemd-solution/
536 * default unix qlen is too small (10). bump sysctl? add sockopt?
538 * save coredump in Windows/Mozilla minidump format
540 * support crash reporting operation modes (https://live.gnome.org/GnomeOS/Design/Whiteboards/ProblemReporting)
542 * default to actual 32-bit PIDs, via /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max
544 * be able to specify a forced restart of service A where service B depends on, in case B
545 needs to be auto-respawned?
547 * when a bus name of a service disappears from the bus make sure to queue further activation requests
550 - check systemd-tmpfiles for selinux context hookup for mknod(), symlink() and similar
551 - apply "x" on "D" too (see patch from William Douglas)
553 * for services: do not set $HOME in services unless requested
555 * hide PAM options in fragment parser when compile time disabled
557 * when we automatically restart a service, ensure we restart its rdeps, too.
559 * allow Type=simple with PIDFile=
560 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=723942
562 * move PAM code into its own binary
564 * implement Register= switch in .socket units to enable registration
565 in Avahi, RPC and other socket registration services.
567 * make sure systemd-ask-password-wall does not shutdown systemd-ask-password-console too early
569 * support sd_notify() style notification when reload begins (RELOADING=1), reload is finished (READY=1), and add ReloadSignal= then to use in combination
571 * support sd_notify() style notification when shutting down, to make auto-exit bus services work (STOPPING=1)
573 * verify that the AF_UNIX sockets of a service in the fs still exist
574 when we start a service in order to avoid confusion when a user
575 assumes starting a service is enough to make it accessible
577 * Make it possible to set the keymap independently from the font on
578 the kernel cmdline. Right now setting one resets also the other.
580 * and a dbus call to generate target from current state
583 - drop /.readahead on bigger upgrades with yum
584 - move readahead files into /var (look for them with .path units?)
585 - readahead: use BTRFS_IOC_DEFRAG_RANGE instead of BTRFS_IOC_DEFRAG ioctl, with START_IO
586 - readahead: when bumping /sys readahead variable save mtime and compare later to detect changes
587 - readahead: make use of EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT, as used by http://e4rat.sourceforge.net/
589 * GC unreferenced jobs (such as .device jobs)
591 * write blog stories about:
592 - hwdb: what belongs into it, lsusb
593 - enabling dbus services
595 - how to make changes to sysctl and sysfs attributes
597 - how to pass throw-away units to systemd, or dynamically change properties of existing units
598 - how to integrate cgconfig and suchlike with systemd
599 - testing with Harald's awesome test kit
601 - how to develop against journal browsing APIs
602 - the journal HTTP iface
603 - non-cgroup resource management
604 - dynamic resource management with cgroups
605 - refreshed, longer missions statement
606 - calendar time events
607 - init=/bin/sh vs. "emergency" mode, vs. "rescue" mode, vs. "multi-user" mode, vs. "graphical" mode, and the debug shell
608 - how to create your own target
609 - instantiated apache, dovecot and so on
610 - hooking a script into various stages of shutdown/rearly booot
612 * allow port=0 in .socket units
614 * support systemd.mask= on the kernel command line.
616 * recreate systemd's D-Bus private socket file on SIGUSR2
618 * Support --test based on current system state
620 * investigate whether the gnome pty helper should be moved into systemd, to provide cgroup support.
622 * maybe introduce ExecRestartPre=
624 * dot output for --test showing the 'initial transaction'
626 * fingerprint.target, wireless.target, gps.target, netdevice.target
628 * drop cap bounding set in readahead and other services
631 - figure out a simple way to wait for journal events in a way that
633 - add documentation to systemd.daemon
636 - plot per-process IO utilization
637 - group processes based on service association (cgroups)
638 - document initcall_debug
639 - kernel cmdline "bootchart" option for simplicity?
642 - Make sure ID_PATH is always exported and complete for
643 network devices where possible, so we can safely rely
645 - check MTUBytes parsing (expecting size_t but we are using unsigned)
648 - add support for more attribute types
649 - inbuilt piping support (essentially degenerate async)? see loopback-setup.c and other places
652 - add more keys to [Route] and [Address] sections
653 - add support for more DHCPv4 options (and, longer term, other kinds of dynamic config)
654 - send hostname to DHCP server
655 - add proper initrd support (in particular generate .network/.link files based on /proc/cmdline)
656 - add reduced [Link] support to .network files
657 - add Scope= parsing option for [Network]
658 - properly handle routerless dhcp leases
659 - set lifetime on the address acquired from dhcp
660 - patch kernel to support module alias for tunnel device (ipip/sit/gre),
661 then remove remove libkmod dependency and CAP_SYS_MODULE
662 - add veth netdev support (c.f. http://shorewall.net/bridge-Shorewall-perl.html#veth)
663 - add tun/tap netdev support
664 - add more attribute support for SIT tunnel
666 * networkd-wait-online:
667 - make operstates to wait for configurable?
670 - figure out how much we can increase Maximum Message Size
671 - export timezone information
677 - natively watch for dbus-*.service symlinks (PENDING)
678 - teach dbus to activate all services it finds in /etc/systemd/services/org-*.service
680 * fix alsa mixer restore to not print error when no config is stored
682 * make cryptsetup lower --iter-time
684 * patch kernel for xattr support in /dev, /proc/, /sys?
686 * kernel: add device_type = "fb", "fbcon" to class "graphics"
688 * drop accountsservice's StandardOutput=syslog and Type=dbus fields
690 * dbus upstream still refers to dbus.target and should not
692 * dbus: in fedora, make /var/lib/dbus/machine-id a symlink to /etc/machine-id
694 * add "# export SYSTEMD_PAGER=" to bash login
696 * /usr/bin/service should actually show the new command line
698 * fedora: suggest auto-restart on failure, but not on success and not on coredump. also, ask people to think about changing the start limit logic. Also point people to RestartPreventExitStatus=, SuccessExitStatus=
700 * fedora: F20: go timer units all the way, leave cron.daily for cron
702 * neither pkexec nor sudo initialize environ[] from the PAM environment?
704 * fedora: update policy to declare access mode and ownership of unit files to root:root 0644, and add an rpmlint check for it
706 * register catalog database signature as file magic
710 * look for close() vs. close_nointr() vs. close_nointr_nofail()
712 * check for strerror(r) instead of strerror(-r)
714 * Use PR_SET_PROCTITLE_AREA if it becomes available in the kernel
718 * set_put(), hashmap_put() return values check. i.e. == 0 does not free()!
720 * use secure_getenv() instead of getenv() where appropriate
722 * link up selected blog stories from man pages and unit files Documentation= fields
724 Scheduled for removal or fixing:
726 * xxxOverridable dependencies (probably: fix)
