2 * update COPYRIGHT in our README:
3 http://ftp-master.metadata.debian.org/changelogs//main/s/systemd/systemd_204-2_copyright
5 * the running hwdb seems not to pick up updated database files without
6 an explicit: udevadm control --reload
8 * enabling an instance unit creates pointless link, and
9 the unit will be started with getty@getty.service:
10 $ systemctl enable getty@.service
11 ln -s '/usr/lib/systemd/system/getty@.service' '/etc/systemd/system/getty.target.wants/getty@.service'
13 * check systemd-tmpfiles for selinux context hookup for mknod(), symlink() and similar
15 * swap units that are activated by one name but shown in the kernel under another are semi-broken
17 * Dangling symlinks of .automount unit files in .wants/ directories, set up
18 automount points even when the original .automount file did not exist
19 anymore. Only the .mount unit was still around.
21 * make polkit checks async
23 * properly handle .mount unit state tracking when two mount points are stacked one on top of another on the exact same mount point.
25 * ellipsize_mem must take into account multi-byte unicode characters, and
26 - make the resulting line the requested number of *characters*, not *bytes*,
27 - avoid truncuating multi-byte sequences in the middle.
31 * external: ps should gain colums for slice and machine
34 - localectl: support new converted x11→console keymaps
36 * when installing fedora with yum --installroot /var/run is a directory, not a symlink
37 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=975864
39 CGroup Rework Completion:
41 * introduce "mainpid" for scopes (or maybe not?)
43 * implement system-wide DefaultCPUAccounting=1 switch (and similar for blockio, memory?)
45 * implement per-slice CPUFairScheduling=1 switch
47 * handle jointly mounted controllers correctly
49 * make BlockIODeviceWeight=, BlockIODeviceBandwidth= runtime settable
51 * introduce high-level settings for RT budget, swappiness
53 * wiki: document new bus APIs of PID 1 (transient units, Reloading signal)
57 * better error message if you run systemctl without systemd running
59 * rename F_TYPE_CMP() to F_TYPE_EQUAL()
61 * unlink PID files of units after exit
63 * tiny tool that saves/restores backlight
65 * systemctl status output should should include list of triggering units and their status
67 * for transient units, instead of writing out drop-ins for all properties consider serializing them in the normal serialization stream
69 * logind: when logging out, remove user-owned sysv and posix IPC objects
71 * session scopes/user unit: add RequiresMountsFor for the home directory of the user
73 * add a man page containing packaging guidelines and recommending usage of things like Documentation=, PrivateTmp=, PrivateNetwork= and ReadOnlyDirectories=/etc /usr.
75 * journalctl: instead --after-cursor= maybe have a --cursor=XYZ+1 syntax?
77 * given that logind/machined now let PID 1 do all nasty work we can
78 probably reduce the capability set they retain substantially.
80 * btrfs raid assembly: some .device jobs stay stuck in the queue
82 * Fedora: add an rpmlint check that verifies that all unit files in the RPM are listed in %systemd_post macros.
84 * Fedora: post FPC ticket to move add %tmpfiles_create to the packaging guidelines
86 * make sure gdm doesn't use multi-user-x but the new default X configuration file, and then remove multi-user-x from systemd
88 * when parsing calendar timestamps support the UTC timezone (even if we won't support arbitrary timezone specs, support UTC itself certainly makes sense), also support syntaxes such as +0200
90 * when a kernel driver logs in a tight loop we should ratelimit that too.
92 * "systemctl disable" of a unit instance removes all symlinks, should
93 only remove the instance symlink (systemctl disable of a template
94 unit however should remove them all).
96 * journald: optionally, log debug messages to /run but everything else to /var
98 * systemctl list-unit-files should list generated files (and probably with a new state "generated" for them, or so)
100 * do we really need both hasprefix() and startswith()?
102 * journald: when we drop syslog messages because the syslog socket is
103 full, make sure to write how many messages are lost as first thing
104 to syslog when it works again.
106 * man: the documentation of Restart= currently is very misleading and suggests the tools from ExecStartPre= might get restarted.
108 * load .d/*.conf dropins for device units
110 * add a fixed dbus path for "my own unit", "my own session", ... to PID1, logind, ...
112 * service_coldplug() appears to reinstall the wrong stop timeout watch?
114 * transient units: allow creating auxiliary units with the same call
116 * how to reset dynamically changed attributes sanely?
118 * when reloading configuration, apply new cgroup configuration
120 * journald: make sure ratelimit is actually really per-service with the new cgroup changes
122 * libsystemd-logind: sd_session_is_active() and friends: verify
123 validity of session name before appending it to a path
125 * gparted needs to disable auto-activation of mount units somehow, or
126 maybe we should stop doing auto-activation of this after boot
127 entirely. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=701676
128 Maybe take a BSD lock at the disk device node and teach udev to
129 check for that and suppress event handling.
131 * when a service changes state make reflect that in the
132 RUNNING/LISTENING states of its socket
134 * when recursively showing the cgroup hierarchy, optionally also show
135 the hierarchies of child processes
137 * document logic of auto/noauto and fail/nofail in fstab in systemd.mount or systemd-fstab-generator man page
139 * we should properly escape ssh hostnames we add into dbus server strings
141 * something pulls in pcre as so dep into our daemons such as hostnamed.
143 * document systemd-journal-flush.service properly
145 * change systemd-journal-flush into a service that stays around during
146 boot, and causes the journal to be moved back to /run on shutdown,
147 so that we don't keep /var busy. This needs to happen synchronously,
148 hence doing this via signals is not going to work.
150 * allow implementation of InaccessibleDirectories=/ plus
151 ReadOnlyDirectories=... for whitelisting files for a service.
154 - default policy (allow uid == 0 and our own uid)
155 - enforce alignment of pointers passed in
156 - when kdbus doesn't take our message without memfds, try again with memfds
157 - implement translator service
158 - port systemd to new library
159 - implement busname unit type in systemd
161 - merge busctl into systemctl or so?
162 - synthesize sd_bus_message objects from kernel messages
163 - properly implement name registry ioctls for kdbus
164 - get rid of object hash table, use decision tree everyhwere instead?
165 - implement monitor logic
166 - object vtable logic
169 * priority inheritance
171 * in the final killing spree, detect processes from the root directory, and
172 complain loudly if they have argv[0][0] == '@' set.
173 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=961044
175 * add an option to nspawn that uses seccomp to make socket(AF_NETLINK,
176 SOCK_RAW, NETLINK_AUDIT) fail the the appropriate error code that
177 makes the audit userspace to think auditing is not available in the
180 * Introduce a way how we can kill the main process of a service with KillSignal, but all processes with SIGKILL later on
181 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=952634
183 * maybe add a warning to the unit file parses where the access mode of unit files is nonsensical.
185 * investigate endianness issues of UUID vs. GUID
187 * dbus: when a unit failed to load (i.e. is in UNIT_ERROR state), we
188 should be able to safely try another attempt when the bus call LoadUnit() is invoked.
190 * if pam_systemd is invoked by su from a process that is outside of a
191 any session we should probably just become a NOP, since that's
192 usually not a real user session but just some system code that just
195 * add a pam module that passes the hdd passphrase into the PAM stack and then expires it, for usage by gdm auto-login.
197 * add a pam module that on password changes updates any LUKS slot where the password matches
199 * maybe add a generator that looks for "systemd.run=" on the kernel cmdline for container usercases...
201 * timedatctl, localectl: possibly make some commands work without the daemon, for chroot situations...
203 * logind: add Suspend() bus calls which take timestamps to fix double suspend issues when somebody hits suspend and closes laptop quickly.
205 * we need dynamic units
207 * cgtop: make cgtop useful in a container
210 - add 'set -e' to scripts in test/
211 - make stuff in test/ work with separate output dir
212 - remove all the duplicated code in test/
214 * systemctl delete x.snapshot leaves no trace in logs (at least at default level).
216 * make the coredump collector tool move itself into the user's cgroup
217 so that the coredump is properly written to the user's own journal
220 * seems that when we follow symlinks to units we prefer the symlink
221 destination path over /etc and /usr. We shouldn't do that. Instead
222 /etc should always override /run+/usr and also any symlink
225 * remove duplicate default deps logic from fstab-generator vs. mount.c
227 * when isolating, try to figure out a way how we implicitly can order
228 all units we stop before the isolating unit...
230 * add ConditionArchitecture= or so
232 * teach ConditionKernelCommandLine= globs or regexes (in order to match foobar={no,0,off})
234 * Support SO_REUSEPORT with socket activation:
235 - Let systemd maintain a pool of servers.
236 - Use for seamless upgrades, by running the new server before stopping the
239 * after all byte-wise realloc() is slow, even on glibc, so i guess we
240 need manual exponential loops after all
242 * BootLoaderSpec: drop allowing ext234 for $BOOT. Clarify that the
243 kernel has to be in $BOOT. Clarify that the boot loader should be
244 installed to the ESP. Define a way how an installer can figure out
245 whether a BLS compliant boot loader is installed.
247 * man: remove .include documentation, and instead push people to use .d/*.conf
249 * think about requeuing jobs when daemon-reload is issued? usecase:
250 the initrd issues a reload after fstab from the host is accessible
251 and we might want to requeue the mounts local-fs acquired through
254 * rework specifier logic so that we can distinguish OOM errors from other errors
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 can't do this before split-off udev is gone for good
262 * documentation: recommend to connect the timer units of a service to the service via Also= in [Install]
264 * add a tool that lists active timer units plus their next elapse and the time the units ran last
266 * man: document the very specific env the shutdown drop-in tools live in
268 * shutdown logging: store to EFI var, and store to USB stick?
270 * man: extend runlevel(8) to mention that runlevels suck, and are dead. Maybe add runlevel(7) with a note about that too
272 * systemctl: maybe add "systemctl add-wants" or so...
274 * man: add more examples to man pages
276 * man: maybe sort directives in man pages, and take sections from --help and apply them to man too
278 * write UI tool that pops up emergency messages from the journal as notification
280 * think about window-manager-run-as-user-service problem: exit 0 → activate shutdown.target; exit != 0 → restart service
282 * msgcatalog determine default language of entries from the catalog
283 file name. i.e. foobar.de_DE.catalog would set the default entry
284 name for the entries to de_DE if they aren't explicitly suffixed
287 * use "log level" rather than "log priority" everywhere
289 * timedate: have global on/off switches for auto-time (NTP), and auto-timezone that connman can subscribe to.
291 * Honour "-" prefix for InaccessibleDirectories= and ReadOnlyDirectories= to
292 suppress errors of the specified path doesn't exist
294 * dev-setup.c: when running in a container, create a tiny stub udev
295 database with the systemd tag set for all network interfaces found,
296 so that libudev reports them as present, and systemd's .device units
299 * merge unit_kill_common() and unit_kill_context()
301 * introduce ExecCondition= in services
304 - fsck hookup for the ESP mount is missing
305 - write man page for efi boot generator
306 - honor language efi variables for default language selection (if there are any?)
307 - honor timezone efi variables for default timezone selection (if there are any?)
308 - change bootctl to be backed by systemd-bootd to control temporary and persistent default boot goal plus efi variables
310 * maybe do not install getty@tty1.service symlink in /etc but in /usr?
312 * re-enable "make check" for gtk-doc (broken for unknown reason)
314 * fstab: add new mount option x-systemd-after=/foobar/waldo to allow manual dependencies to other mount points
315 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=812826
317 * print a nicer explanation if people use variable/specifier expansion in ExecStart= for the first word
319 * mount: turn dependency information from /proc/self/mountinfo into dependency information between systemd units.
322 - logind: optionally, ignore idle-hint logic for autosuspend, block suspend as long as a session is around
323 - When we update the kernel all kind of hibernation should be prohibited until shutdown/reboot
324 - logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
325 - Add pretty name for seats in logind
326 - logind: allow showing logout dialog from system?
327 - logind: spawn user@..service on login
328 - logind: non-local X11 server handling
329 - logind: add equivalent to sd_pid_get_owner_uid() to the D-Bus API
330 - pam: when leaving a session explicitly exclude the ReleaseSession() caller process from the killing spree
331 - logind: GetSessionByPID() should accept 0 as PID value
332 - we should probably handle SIGTERM/SIGINT to not leave dot files around, just in case
334 * exec: when deinitializating a tty device fix the perms and group, too, not only when initializing. Set access mode/gid to 0620/tty.
336 * DeviceAllow/DeviceDeny: disallow everything by default, but whitelist /dev/zero, /dev/null and friends
338 * service: watchdog logic: for testing purposes allow ping, but do not require pong
341 - do not use magic msync() in src/journal/journal-file.c, just call fsync()
342 <alxchk> poettering: looks like msync just calls vfs_fsync
343 http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/mm/msync.c#n18
344 - import and delete pstore filesystem content at startup
345 - journald: also get thread ID from client, plus thread name
346 - journal: when waiting for journal additions in the client always sleep at least 1s or so, in order to minimize wakeups
347 - add API to close/reopen/get fd for journal client fd in libsystemd-journal.
348 - fallback to /dev/log based logging in libsystemd-journal, if we can't log natively?
349 - declare the local journal protocol stable in the wiki interface chart
350 - journal: reuse XZ context
351 - sd-journal: speed up sd_journal_get_data() with transparent hash table in bg
352 - journald: when dropping msgs due to ratelimit make sure to write
353 "dropped %u messages" not only when we are about to print the next
354 message that works, but alraedy after a short tiemout
355 - check if we can make journalctl by default use --follow mode inside of less if called without args?
356 - maybe add API to send pairs of iovecs via sd_journal_send
357 - journal: when writing journal auto-rotate if time jumps backwards
358 - journal: add a setgid "systemd-journal" utility to invoke from libsystemd-journal, which passes fds via STDOUT and does PK access
359 - journactl: support negative filtering, i.e. FOOBAR!="waldo",
360 and !FOOBAR for events without FOOBAR.
361 - journal: when rotating, copy over old acls/access mode
362 - journal: send out marker messages every now and then, and immediately sync with fdatasync() afterwards, in order to have hourly guaranteed syncs.
363 - 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.
364 - journal: find a way to allow dropping history early, based on priority, other rules
365 - journal: When used on NFS, check payload hashes
366 - journald: check whether it is OK if the client can still modify delivered journal entries
367 - journal live copy, based on libneon (client) and libmicrohttpd (server)
368 - journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
369 - refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
370 - journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
371 - journal: deal nicely with byte-by-byte copied files, especially regards header
372 - journalctl: expand tabs
373 - journal: store euid in journal if it differs from uid
374 - journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the components would fit
375 - Replace utmp, wtmp, btmp, and lastlog completely with journal
376 - Port upower to use the journal for historical power information used in future calculations
379 - document unit_name_mangle()
380 - document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fileds in
381 [Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
382 - man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
383 - Document word splitting syntax for ExecStart= and friends
384 - document that units from /etc override those from /usr and /run
385 - document the exit codes when services fail before they are exec()ed
386 - document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
387 - document in wiki how to map ical recurrence events to systemd timer unit calendar specifications
390 - systemctl list-jobs - show dependencies
391 - add systemctl switch to dump transaction without executing it
392 - Add a verbose mode to "systemctl start" and friends that explains what is being done or not done
393 - "systemctl disable" on a static unit prints no message and does
394 nothing. "systemctl enable" does nothing, and gives a bad message
395 about it. Should fix both to print nice actionable messages.
396 - print nice message from systemctl --failed if there are no entries shown, and hook that into ExecStartPre of rescue.service/emergency.service
397 - add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
398 - systemctl enable: improve the success messages (i.e. more human readable, less shell-like)
399 - systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into doesn't exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
400 - systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
401 - support "systemctl stop foobar@.service" to stop all units matching a certain template
402 - Something is wrong with symlink handling of "autovt@.service" in "systemctl list-unit-files"
404 * introduce ntp.service (or suchlike) as symlink that is used to arbitrate between various NTP implementations
406 * deal with sendmail/postfix exclusivity
409 - configurable jitter for timer events
410 - timer events with system resume
411 - timer units should get the ability to trigger when:
412 o CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (TFD_TIMER_CANCEL_ON_SET)
414 - Support 2012-02~4 as syntax for specifying the fourth to last day of the month.
416 * update the kernel's TZ (sys_tz) when DST changes
418 * sync down the system time to the RTC when:
419 - CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (the user explicitely requested a time set)
420 - DST/timezone changes && ntp is active && RTC-in-localtime (never do it without ntp)
421 This takes care of syncing ntpdate updates to the RTC, and DST updates for localtime
422 mode, it will never touch the RTC if the no reliable time source is active or the
423 user did not request anything like it.
425 * if booted in "quiet" mode, and an error happens, turn on status
426 output again, so that the emergency mode isn't totally
427 surprising. Also, terminate plymouth.
429 * libunwind support for coredump pattern hook, and includes this in
430 the message for coredumps. After all, libunwind is now capable to
431 unwind coredumps since a few weeks ago. This probably requires that
432 we have nice support for multi-line messages on display in
433 logs-show.c. Alternatively: use libelfutil, which seems to be the
434 better supported alternative.
436 * figure out relation of --all and --full in the various tools
438 * add libsystemd-password or so to query passwords during boot using the password agent logic
440 * 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().
442 * fedup: add --unit to systemctl switch-root somehow
443 * fedup: don't delete initrd on switch-root
447 - timedated: refuse time changes when NTP is on
449 * clean up date formatting and parsing so that all absolute/relative timestamps we format can also be parsed
451 * introduce generic AUGMENT_PID=, AUGMENT_DEVICE= fields
453 * on shutdown: move utmp, wall, audit logic all into PID 1 (or logind?), get rid of systemd-update-utmp-runlevel
455 * add "provisioning" instructions to setup an empty /etc + /var
456 - used to setup a new container from a shared /usr
457 - superset of tmpfiles model
458 - instructions shipped by packages and stored in /usr/lib/
459 - compose /etc/passwd and /etc/group, copy files
460 - able to create uid + gid used by packages, for file ownership
462 * make repeated alt-ctrl-del presses printing a dump, or even force a reboot without
463 waiting for the timeout
465 * high level net_prio setting in execution context
467 * hostnamed: before returning information from /etc/machine-info.conf check the modification data and reread. Similar for localed, ...
469 * currently x-systemd.timeout is lost in the initrd, since crypttab is copied into dracut, but fstab isn't
471 * refuse boot if /etc/machine-id is not useful (or set taint?)
474 - nspawn: consider changing users for -u with su, so that NSS resolving works correctly
475 - nspawn: implement personality changes a la linux32(8)
476 - nspawn: --read-only is not applied recursively to submounts
477 - nspawn: make use of device cgroup controller by default
478 - bind mount read-only the cgroup tree higher than nspawn
479 - nspawn: investigate whether we can support the same as LXC's
480 lxc.network.type=phys mode, and pass through entire network
481 interfaces to the container
482 - nspawn: maybe add a way to drop additional caps, in addition to add additional caps
483 - nspawn: maybe explicitly reset loginuid?
484 - nspawn: make it work for dwalsh and shared /usr containers -- tmpfs mounts as command line parameters, selinux exec context
487 - cryptsetup-generator: allow specification of passwords in crypttab itself
488 - move cryptsetup key caching into kernel keyctl?
489 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54982
490 - support rd.luks.allow-discards= kernel cmdline params in cryptsetup generator
492 * move debug shell to tty6 and make sure this doesn't break the gettys on tty6
494 * hw watchdog: optionally try to use the preset watchdog timeout instead of always overriding it
495 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54712
497 * after deserializing sockets in socket.c we should reapply sockopts and things
499 * make timer units go away after they elapsed
501 * http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2012-September/006502.html
502 (network and remote-fs on shutdown)
504 * come up with a nice way to write queue/read_ahead_kb for a block device without interfering with readahead
506 * move PID 1 segfaults to /var/lib/systemd/coredump?
508 * create /sbin/init symlinks from the build system
510 * Query Paul Moore about relabelling socket fds while they are open
512 * system.conf should have controls for cgroups
514 * allow writing multiple conditions in unit files on one line
516 * explore multiple service instances per listening socket idea
518 * shutdown: don't read-only mount anything when running in container
520 * MountFlags=shared acts as MountFlags=slave right now.
522 * ReadOnlyDirectories= is not applied recursively to submounts
524 * drop PID 1 reloading, only do reexecing (difficult: Reload()
525 currently is properly synchronous, Reexec() is weird, because we
526 can't delay the response properly until we are back, so instead of
527 being properly synchronous we just keep open the fd and close it
528 when done. That means clients don't get a successful method reply,
529 but much rather a disconnect on success.
531 * use opterr = 0 for all getopt tools
533 * properly handle loop back mounts via fstab, especially regards to fsck/passno
535 * allow services with no ExecStart= but with an ExecStop=
537 * dracut-shutdown needs to be ordered before unmounting /boot
539 * initialize the hostname from the fs label of /, if /etc/hostname does not exist?
541 * rename "userspace" to "core-os"
544 - syscall filter: add knowledge about compat syscalls
545 - syscall filter: don't enforce no new privs?
546 - syscall filter: option to return EPERM rather than SIGSYS?
547 - syscall filter: port to libseccomp
548 - system-wide seccomp filter
550 * .device aliases need to be implemented with the "following" logic, probably.
552 * load-fragment: when loading a unit file via a chain of symlinks
553 verify that it isn't masked via any of the names traversed.
555 * introduce Type=pid-file
557 * change Requires=basic.target to RequisiteOverride=basic.target
559 * when breaking cycles drop sysv services first, then services from /run, then from /etc, then from /usr
561 * move passno parsing to fstab generator
563 * automount: implement expire:
564 - set superblock timeout AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_TIMEOUT_CMD
565 - periodically run AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_EXPIRE_CMD
566 - every timeout/4 (original autofs logic)
567 - blocking, needs a thread
569 - receive expire packet on pipe if kernel tells the timeout is over
571 - answer expire packet on pipe with AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_{READY,FAIL}_CMD
572 - AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_EXPIRE_CMD returns
574 * services which create their own subcgroups break cgroup-empty notification (needs to be fixed in the kernel)
576 * ExecOnFailure=/usr/bin/foo
579 - remove src/udev/udev-builtin-firmware.c (CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER=n)
581 - unify utf8 validator code with shared/
583 - add trigger --subsystem-match=usb/usb_device device
585 * cleanup syslog 'priority' vs. 'level' wording
587 * 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
589 * support container_ttys=
591 * introduce mix of BindTo and Requisite
593 * add DeleteSocketsOnStop=yes|no option to socket units
595 * There's currently no way to cancel fsck (used to be possible via C-c or c on the console)
597 * add option to sockets to avoid activation. Instead just drop packets/connections, see http://cyberelk.net/tim/2012/02/15/portreserve-systemd-solution/
599 * default unix qlen is too small (10). bump sysctl? add sockopt?
601 * save coredump in Windows/Mozilla minidump format
603 * support crash reporting operation modes (https://live.gnome.org/GnomeOS/Design/Whiteboards/ProblemReporting)
605 * clean up session cgroups that remain after logout (think sshd), but eventually run empty
607 * when an instanced service exits, remove its parent cgroup too if possible.
609 * default to actual 32bit PIDs, via /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max
611 * be able to specify a forced restart of service A where service B depends on, in case B
612 needs to be auto-respawned?
614 * when a bus name of a service disappears from the bus make sure to queue further activation requests
616 * tmpfiles: apply "x" on "D" too (see patch from William Douglas)
618 * for services: don't set $HOME in services unless requested
620 * hide PAM/TCPWrap options in fragment parser when compile time disabled
622 * when we automatically restart a service, ensure we restart its rdeps, too.
624 * allow Type=simple with PIDFile=
625 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=723942
627 * move PAM code into its own binary
629 * implement Register= switch in .socket units to enable registration
630 in Avahi, RPC and other socket registration services.
632 * make sure systemd-ask-password-wall does not shutdown systemd-ask-password-console too early
634 * support sd_notify() style notification when reload begins (RELOADING=1), reload is finished (READY=1), and add ReloadSignal= then to use in combination
636 * support sd_notify() style notification when shutting down, to make auto-exit bus services work (STOPPING=1)
638 * verify that the AF_UNIX sockets of a service in the fs still exist
639 when we start a service in order to avoid confusion when a user
640 assumes starting a service is enough to make it accessible
642 * Make it possible to set the keymap independently from the font on
643 the kernel cmdline. Right now setting one resets also the other.
645 * and a dbus call to generate target from current state
648 - drop /.readahead on bigger upgrades with yum
649 - move readahead files into /var (look for them with .path units?)
650 - readahead: use BTRFS_IOC_DEFRAG_RANGE instead of BTRFS_IOC_DEFRAG ioctl, with START_IO
651 - readahead: when bumping /sys readahead variable save mtime and compare later to detect changes
652 - readahead: make use of EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT, as used by http://e4rat.sourceforge.net/
654 * add support for /bin/mount -s
656 * GC unreferenced jobs (such as .device jobs)
658 * write blog stories about:
659 - hwdb: what belongs into it, lsusb
660 - enabling dbus services
662 - how to make changes to sysctl and sysfs attributes
664 - how to pass throw-away units to systemd, or dynamically change properties of existing units
665 - how to integrate cgconfig and suchlike with systemd
666 - testing with Harald's awesome test kit
668 - how to develop against journal browsing APIs
669 - the journal HTTP iface
670 - non-cgroup resource management
671 - dynamic resource management with cgroups
672 - refreshed, longer missions statement
673 - calendar time events
674 - init=/bin/sh vs. "emergency" mode, vs. "rescue" mode, vs. "multi-user" mode, vs. "graphical" mode, and the debug shell
675 - how to create your own target
676 - instantiated apache, dovecot and so on
677 - hooking a script into various stages of shutdown/rearly booot
679 * allow port=0 in .socket units
681 * support systemd.mask= on the kernel command line.
683 * recreate systemd's D-Bus private socket file on SIGUSR2
685 * Support --test based on current system state
687 * investigate whether the gnome pty helper should be moved into systemd, to provide cgroup support.
689 * maybe introduce ExecRestartPre=
691 * dot output for --test showing the 'initial transaction'
693 * port over to LISTEN_FDS/LISTEN_PID:
694 - rpcbind (/var/run/rpcbind.sock!) HAVEPATCH
698 - libvirtd (/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock-ro)
699 - bluetoothd (/var/run/sdp! @/org/bluez/audio!)
702 * fingerprint.target, wireless.target, gps.target, netdevice.target
704 * io priority during initialization
706 * drop cap bounding set in readahead and other services
709 - figure out a simple way to wait for journal events in a way that
711 - add documentation to systemd.daemon
714 - plot per-process IO utilization
715 - group processes based on service association (cgroups)
716 - document initcall_debug
717 - kernel cmdline "bootchart" option for simplicity?
723 - natively watch for dbus-*.service symlinks (PENDING)
724 - allow specification of socket mode/umask when allocating DBusServer
725 - allow disabling of fd passing when connecting a AF_UNIX connection
726 - allow disabling of UID passing for AUTH EXTERNAL
727 - always pass cred data along each message
728 - teach dbus to activate all services it finds in /etc/systemd/services/org-*.service
730 * fix alsa mixer restore to not print error when no config is stored
732 * make cryptsetup lower --iter-time
734 * patch kernel for xattr support in /dev, /proc/, /sys?
736 * NTP: the kernel's 11-minutes-mode syncs the system time to the RTC, but only
737 in an ~30 minutes window. It does not adjust larger differences. Find a way
738 to tell the kernel, to always do a full time sync when the RTC is in UTC and
739 we are in 11-minutes-mode. When we trust the system time to NTP we also want
742 * kernel: add device_type = "fb", "fbcon" to class "graphics"
744 * drop accountsservice's StandardOutput=syslog and Type=dbus fields
746 * dbus upstream still refers to dbus.target and shouldn't
748 * dbus: in fedora, make /var/lib/dbus/machine-id a symlink to /etc/machine-id
750 * add "# export SYSTEMD_PAGER=" to bash login
752 * /usr/bin/service should actually show the new command line
754 * 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=
756 * fedora: F20: go timer units all the way, leave cron.daily for cron
758 * neither pkexec nor sudo initialize environ[] from the PAM environment?
760 * fedora: update policy to declare access mode and ownership of unit files to root:root 0644, and add an rpmlint check for it
764 * look for close() vs. close_nointr() vs. close_nointr_nofail()
766 * check for strerror(r) instead of strerror(-r)
768 * Use PR_SET_PROCTITLE_AREA if it becomes available in the kernel
770 * %m in printf() instead of strerror(errno);
774 * set_put(), hashmap_put() return values check. i.e. == 0 doesn't free()!
776 * use secure_getenv() instead of getenv() where appropriate
778 * link up selected blog stories from man pages and unit files Documentation= fields
780 Scheduled for removal or fixing:
782 * xxxOverridable dependencies (probably: fix)
