-Fixes needed before 217:
-
-* sd_session_get_desktop() yells at me?
-
-* change startup timeout to not cover the full bootup, but only sysinit part (see below)
-
-* remove Discard= in .mount units and replace it by Options=, to prepare for later swapon fix
-
-* verify that both resolved and timesyncd work OK without networkd around
-
-* push out allow-interactive-auth flag into dbus spec
-
Bugfixes:
* Should systemctl status \* work on all unit types, not just .service?
report the failure properly.
External:
+
* Fedora: add an rpmlint check that verifies that all unit files in the RPM are listed in %systemd_post macros.
* Fedora: post FPC ticket to move add %tmpfiles_create to the packaging guidelines
Features:
+* optionally support running journald from the command line for testing purposes in external projects
+
* journald: allow per-priority and per-service retention times when rotating/vacuuming
* introduce systemd-timesync-wait.service or so to sync on an NTP fix?
* consider showing the unit names during boot up in the status output, not just the unit descriptions
-* send SIGABRT when a service watchdog is triggered, by default, so that we acquire a backtrace of the hang.
-
* dhcp: do we allow configuring dhcp routes on interfaces that are not the one we got the dhcp info from?
* maybe allow timer units with an empty Units= setting, so that they
* what to do about udev db binary stability for apps?
-* add a system-wide shutdown timeout, similar to the startup timeout we already have (see fdo bz #84110)
-
* maybe provide an API to allow migration of foreign PIDs into existing scopes.
* kdbus: maybe rename "connection name" concept to something that doesn't reuse the word "name"?
* PID 1 doesn't apply nspawns devices cgroup policy
-* rework journal-send.c to use memfds for large blobs if they are available instead of unlinked files in /tmp. Also, if we detect that the kernel knows memfds, refuse anything but sealed memfds.
-
* maybe support a new very "soft" reboot mode, that simply kills all processes, disassembles everything, flushes /run and sysvipc, and then reexecs systemd again
* man: document that corrupted journal files is nothing to act on
cannot pass into sendmsg() of the AF_UNIX sokcet (which only accepts
253 messages)
-* busctl: add a pcap writer, using LINKTYPE_DBUS/231
-
* man: maybe use the word "inspect" rather than "introspect"?
* introduce machines.target to order after all nspawn instances
* maybe add "systemctl edit" that copies unit files from /usr/lib/systemd/system to /etc/systemd/system and invokes vim on them
-* dbus: add new message hdr field for allowing interactive auth, write spec for it. update dbus spec to mandate that unknown flags *must* be ignored...
-
* maybe introduce AssertXYZ= similar to ConditionXYZ= that causes a unit to fail (instead of skipping it) if some condition is not true...
-* remove multi-seat-x now
-
* refcounting in sd-resolve is borked
* exponential backoff in timesyncd and resolved when we cannot reach a server
-* apply start timeout during the "initializing" manager state only,
- instead of both "initializing" and "starting". maybe rename the
- timeout to "initialization-timeout" then or so?
-
* journald: make use of uid-range.h to managed uid ranges to split
journals in.
- kdbus mapping
- NameLost/NameAcquired obsolete
- GVariant
- - "const" properties (posted)
- path escaping
- update systemd.special(7) to mention that dbus.socket is only about the compatibility socket now
- test bloom filter generation indexes
* and a dbus call to generate target from current state
-* readahead:
- - drop /.readahead on bigger upgrades with yum
- - move readahead files into /var (look for them with .path units?)
- - readahead: use BTRFS_IOC_DEFRAG_RANGE instead of BTRFS_IOC_DEFRAG ioctl, with START_IO
- - readahead: when bumping /sys readahead variable save mtime and compare later to detect changes
- - readahead: make use of EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT, as used by http://e4rat.sourceforge.net/
-
* GC unreferenced jobs (such as .device jobs)
* write blog stories about:
* register catalog database signature as file magic
-* zsh shell completion: <command> <verb> -<TAB> should complete options, but currently
- does not
