automount points even when the original .automount file did not exist
anymore. Only the .mount unit was still around.
-* ExecStart with unicode characters fails in strv_split_quoted:
+* ExecStart with unicode characters fails in strv_split_extract:
[Service]
Environment=ONE='one' "TWO='two two' too" THREE=
ExecStart=/bin/python3 -c 'import sys;print(sys.argv)' $ONE $TWO $THREE
-* MEMORY return code is overloaded for syntax errors in the command line.
- str_split_quoted() should return a real return code, so spawn_child can
- report the failure properly.
+* When systemctl --host is used, underlying ssh connection can remain open.
+ bus_close does not kill children?
External:
* Fedora: add an rpmlint check that verifies that all unit files in the RPM are listed in %systemd_post macros.
-* Fedora: move kernel image to /usr/lib/modules/, kernel-install will take care of populating /boot
-
-* Fedora: remove /etc/resolv.conf tmpfiles hack
-
* wiki: update journal format documentation for lz4 additions
* When lz4 gets an API for lz4 command output, make use of it to
compress coredumps in a way compatible with /usr/bin/lz4.
-Release 219 preparations:
+Features:
-* dkr import hash verification
+* PID 1 should send out sd_notify("WATCHDOG=1") messages (for usage in the --user mode, and when run via nspawn)
-* rework journald sigbus stuff to use mutex
+* nspawn should send out sd_notify("WATCHDOG=1") messages
-* create importd daemon, move "systemd-import" tool into machinectl
+* nspawn should optionally support receiving WATCHDOG=1 messages from its payload PID 1...
-Features:
+* introduce "machinectl shell" that is like systemd-run -M foo /bin/bash -t but also adds PAMName=login
-* import: when pulling raw images, detect NUL blocks, and create sparse files
+* allow loging into host with "machinectl login".
-* import: support import from local files, and export to local files
+* consider throwing a warning if a service declares it wants to be "Before=" a .device unit.
-* import: add "pull-tar" support, for downloading/verifying tarballs
+* "systemctl edit" should know a mode to create a new unit file
-* import: support compressed raw images
+* there's probably something wrong with having user mounts below /sys,
+ as we have for debugfs. for exmaple, src/core/mount.c handles mounts
+ prefixed with /sys generally special.
+ http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-June/032962.html
-* import: support verifiying raw images with gpg
+* Add PassEnvironment= setting to service units, to import select env vars from PID 1 into the service env block
-* core/cgroup: support net_cls modules, and support automatically allocating class ids, then add support for making firewall changes depending on it, to implement a per-service firewall
+* nspawn: fix logic always print a final newline on output.
+ https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/272#issuecomment-113153176
-* bus-proxy: reload policy when PID 1 reports a reload
+* make nspawn's --network-veth switch more powerful:
+ http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-June/033121.html
-* the dbus1 connection user id is actually the euid, not the uid, and creds should return that
+* man: document that unless you use StandardError=null the shell >/dev/stderr won't work in shell scripts in services
-* introduce systemd-nspawn-ephemeral@.service, and hook it into "machinectl start" with a new --ephemeral switch
+* man: clarify that "machinectl show" shows different information than "machinectl status" (no cgroup tree, no IP addresses, ...)
-* logind,machined: add generic catch-all polkit verbs for most priviliged operations, similar to systemd itself
+* "systemctl daemon-reload" should result in /etc/systemd/system.conf being reloaded by systemd
-* "machinectl status" should also show internal logs of the container in question
+* install: include generator dirs in unit file search paths
+
+* stop using off_t, it's a crazy type. Use uint64_t instead.
+
+* logind: follow PropertiesChanged state more closely, to deal with quick logouts and relogins
+
+* change to KillMode=mixed by default
+
+* introduce argv0contains=
+
+* invent a better systemd-run scheme for naming scopes, that works with remoting
+
+* add journalctl -H that talks via ssh to a remote peer and passes through binary logs data
+
+* change journalctl -M to acquire fd to journal directory via machined, and then operate on that via openat() instead of absolute paths
+
+* add a version of --merge which also merges /var/log/journal/remote
+
+* log accumulated resource usage after each service invocation
+
+* nspawn: a nice way to boot up without machine id set, so that it is set at boot automatically for supporting --ephemeral. Maybe hash the host machine id together with the machine name to generate the machine id for the container
+
+* logind: rename session scope so that it includes the UID. THat way
+ the session scope can be arranged freely in slices and we don't have
+ make assumptions about their slice anymore.
+
+* journalctl: -m should access container journals directly by enumerating them via machined, and also watch containers coming and going. Benefit: nspawn --ephemeral would start working nicely with the journal.
+
+* nspawn: don't copy /etc/resolv.conf from host into container unless we are in shared-network mode
+
+* nspawn: optionally automatically add FORWARD rules to iptables whenever nspawn is running, remove them when shut down.
+
+* importd: generate a nice warning if mkfs.btrfs is missing
+
+* nspawn: add a logic for cleaning up read-only, hidden container images in /var/lib/machines that are not ancestors of any non-hidden containers
+
+* nspawn: Improve error message when --bind= is used on a non-existing source directory
+
+* nspawn: maybe make copying of /etc/resolv.conf optional, and skip it if --read-only is used
+
+* man: document how update dkr images works with machinectl
+ http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-February/028630.html
+
+* nspawn: as soon as networkd has a bus interface, hook up --network-interface=, --network-bridge= with networkd, to trigger netdev creation should an interface be missing
+
+* rework C11 utf8.[ch] to use char32_t instead of uint32_t when referring
+ to unicode chars, to make things more expressive.
+
+* "machinectl migrate" or similar to copy a container from or to a
+ difference host, via ssh
+
+* tmpfiles: creating new directories/subvolumes/fifos/device nodes
+ should not follow symlinks. None of the other adjustment or creation
+ calls follow symlinks.
+
+* fstab-generator: default to tmpfs-as-root if only usr= is specified on the kernel cmdline
+
+* docs: bring http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/MyServiceCantGetRealtime up to date
+
+* mounting and unmounting mount points manually with different source
+ devices will result in collected collected on all devices used.
+ http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-April/030225.html
+
+* add a job mode that will fail if a transaction would mean stopping
+ running units. Use this in timedated to manage the NTP service
+ state.
+ http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-April/030229.html
+
+* Maybe add support for the equivalent of "ethtool advertise" to .link files?
+ http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-April/030112.html
+
+* .timer units should optionally support CLOCK_BOOTTIME in addition to CLOCK_MONOTONIC
+
+* create a btrfs qgroup for /var/lib/machines, and add all container
+ subvolumes we create to it.
-* nspawn: don't change superblock mount options from nspawn for cgroup hierarchies
+* When logging about multiple units (stopping BoundTo units, conflicts, etc.),
+ log both units as UNIT=, so that journalctl -u triggers on both.
+
+* to allow "linking" of nspawn containers, extend --network-bridge= so
+ that it can dynamically create bridge interfaces that are refcounted
+ by the containers on them. For each group of containers to link together
+
+* journalctl --verify: don't show files that are currently being
+ written to as FAIL, but instead show that their are being written
+ to.
+
+* assign MESSAGE_ID to log messages about failed services
+
+* coredump: make the handler check /proc/$PID/rlimits for RLIMIT_CORE,
+ and supress coredump if turned off. Then change RLIMIT_CORE to
+ infinity by default for all services. This then allows per-service
+ control of coredumping.
+
+* generate better errors when people try to set transient properties
+ that are not supported...
+ http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-February/028076.html
+
+* Introduce $LISTEN_NAMES to complement $LISTEN_FDS, containing a
+ colon separated list of identifiers for the fds passed.
+
+* maybe introduce WantsMountsFor=? Usecase:
+ http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-January/027729.html
+
+* rework kexec logic to use new kexec_file_load() syscall, so that we
+ don't have to call kexec tool anymore.
+
+* The udev blkid built-in should expose a property that reflects
+ whether media was sensed in USB CF/SD card readers. This should then
+ be used to control SYSTEMD_READY=1/0 so that USB card readers aren't
+ picked up by systemd unless they contain a medium. This would mirror
+ the behaviour we already have for CD drives.
+
+* nspawn: emulate /dev/kmsg using CUSE and turn off the syslog syscall
+ with seccomp. That should provide us with a useful log buffer that
+ systemd can log to during early boot, and disconnect container logs
+ from the kernel's logs.
+
+* networkd/udev: implement SR_IOV configuration in .link files:
+ http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-January/027451.html
+
+* When RLIMIT_NPROC is set from a unit file it currently always is set
+ for root, not for the user set in User=, which makes it
+ useless. After fixing this, set RLIMIT_NPROC for
+ systemd-journal-xyz, and all other of our services that run under
+ their own user ids, and use User= (but only in a world where userns
+ is ubiquitous since otherwise we cannot invoke those daemons on the
+ host AND in a container anymore). Also, if LimitNPROC= is used
+ without User= we should warn and refuse operation.
+
+* logind: maybe allow configuration of the StopTimeout for session scopes
+
+* Set NoNewPrivileges= on all of our own services, where that makes sense
+
+* Rework systemctl's GetAll property parsing to use the generic bus_map_all_properties() API
+
+* rework journald sigbus stuff to use mutex
+
+* import-dkr: support tarsum checksum verification, if it becomes reality one day...
+
+* import-dkr: convert json bits to nspawn configuration
+
+* core/cgroup: support net_cls modules, and support automatically allocating class ids, then add support for making firewall changes depending on it, to implement a per-service firewall
+
+* introduce systemd-nspawn-ephemeral@.service, and hook it into "machinectl start" with a new --ephemeral switch
+
+* "machinectl status" should also show internal logs of the container in question
* "machinectl list-images" should show os-release data, as well as machine-info data (including deployment level)
* Port various tools to make use of verbs.[ch], where applicable
-* Check all invocations of access() and consider turning them into laccess()
-
* "machinectl history"
* "machinectl diff"
* "machinectl commit" that takes a writable snapshot of a tree, invokes a shell in it, and marks it read-only after use
-* "machinectl status" should show 10 most recent log lines of both the host logs of the unit of the machine, plus the logs generated in the machine
-
-* add transparent btrfs pool in a loopback file in /var if btrfs operations (such as systemd-import pull-dkr) are used and /var is not a btrfs file system
-
* systemd-nspawn -x should support ephemeral instances of gpt images
-* move machinectl's mount and copy commands into machined
-
* hostnamectl: show root image uuid
* sysfs set api in libudev is not const
* as soon as we have kdbus, and sender timestamps, revisit coalescing multiple parallel daemon reloads:
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-December/025862.html
-* set $REMOTE_IP (or $REMOTE_ADDR/$REMOTE_PORT) environment variable when doing per-connection socket activation. use format introduced by xinetd or CGI for this
-
* the install state probably shouldn't get confused by generated units, think dbus1/kdbus compat!
* in systemctl list-unit-files: show the install value the presets would suggest for a service in a third column
-* we should try harder to collapse start jobs for swaps that end up being the same:
- http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-November/025359.html
-
-* timedated should compensate on SetTime for the time spent in polkit
-
* figure out when we can use the coarse timers
* sd-resolve: drop res_query wrapping, people should call via the bus to resolved instead
* timesyncd + resolved: add ugly bus calls to set NTP and DNS servers per-interface, for usage by NM
-* networkd-wait-online really should have a timeout by default
-
* add infrastructure to allocate dynamic/transient users and UID ranges, for use in user-namespaced containers, per-seat gdm login screens and gdm guest sessions
* machined: add an API so that libvirt-lxc can inform us about network interfaces being removed or added to an existing machine
* maybe add support for specifier expansion in user.conf, specifically DefaultEnvironment=
-* code cleanup: retire FOREACH_WORD_QUOTED, port to unquote_first_word() loops instead
+* code cleanup: retire FOREACH_WORD_QUOTED, port to extract_first_word() loops instead
* introduce systemd-timesync-wait.service or so to sync on an NTP fix?
* exponential backoff in timesyncd and resolved when we cannot reach a server
-* tmpfiles: port to unquote_many_words(), similar to sysusers
-
-* unquote_many_words() should probably be used by a lot of code that
+* extract_many_words() should probably be used by a lot of code that
currently uses FOREACH_WORD and friends. For example, most conf
parsing callbacks should use it.
* systemd.show_status= should probably have a mode where only failed
units are shown.
+* add systemd.abort_on_kill or some other such flag to send SIGABRT instead of SIGKILL
+ (throughout the codebase, not only PID1)
+
* networkd:
+ - make DHCP server IP range configurable, including only with a single IP address
+ - dhcp server: try to assign stable IP addresses based on client's MAC address
- add LLDP client side support
- the DHCP lease data (such as NTP/DNS) is still made available when
a carrier is lost on a link. It should be removed instantly.
- - .network setting that allows overriding of the hostname to send to the dhcp server
- http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-July/021550.html
- expose in the API the following bits:
- option 15, domain name and/or option 119, search list
- option 12, host name and/or option 81, fqdn
for all routes to it. possibly a second default for DHCP routes.
- allow Name= to be specified repeatedly in the [Match] section. Maybe also
support Name=foo*|bar*|baz ?
+ - duplicate address check for static IPs (like ARPCHECK in network-scripts)
+ - allow DUID/IAID to be customized, see issue #394.
* resolved:
- put networkd events and rtnl events at a higher priority, so that
we always process them before we process client requests
- DNSSEC
- - use base64 for key presentation?
- add display of private key types (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4034#appendix-A.1.1)?
- - add nice formatting of DNS timestamps
- DNS
- search paths
- mDNS/DNS-SD
- avahi compat
- DNS-SD service registration from socket units
- edns0
- - dname
+ - dname: Not necessary for plain DNS as synthesized cname is handed out instead if we do not
+ announce dname support. However, for DNSSEC it is necessary as the synthesized cname
+ will not be signed.
- cname on PTR (?)
- - maybe randomize DNS UDP source ports
- - maybe compare query section of DNS replies
* Allow multiple ExecStart= for all Type= settings, so that we can cover rescue.service nicely
the hierarchies of child processes
* transient units:
- - allow creating auxiliary units with the same call
- add field to transient units that indicate whether systemd or somebody else saves/restores its settings, for integration with libvirt
- ensure scope units may be started only a single time
ReadOnlyDirectories=... for whitelisting files for a service.
* sd-bus:
+ - EBADSLT handling
+ - change argv list matching logic
- GetAllProperties() on a non-existing object does not result in a failure currently
- kdbus: process fd=-1 for incoming msgs
- - make dsrt happy, and change userspace header for kdbus to yyyyuta{tv}v
- port to sd-resolve for connecting to TCP dbus servers
- kdbus: maybe add controlling tty metadata fields
- see if we can introduce a new sd_bus_get_owner_machine_id() call to retrieve the machine ID of the machine of the bus itself
* maybe do not install getty@tty1.service symlink in /etc but in /usr?
-* re-enable "make check" for gtk-doc (broken for unknown reason)
-
* fstab: add new mount option x-systemd-after=/foobar/waldo to allow manual dependencies to other mount points
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=812826
- logind: when the power button is pressed short, just popup a
logout dialog. If it is pressed for 1s, do the usual
shutdown. Inspiration are Macs here.
- - logind: allow users to kill or lock their own sessions
- expose "Locked" property on logind sesison objects
- given that logind now lets PID 1 do all nasty work, we can
probably reduce the capability set it retains substantially.
* 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().
-* fedup: add --unit to systemctl switch-root somehow
-* fedup: do not delete initrd on switch-root
-* fedup: generator
-
* clean up date formatting and parsing so that all absolute/relative timestamps we format can also be parsed
* on shutdown: move utmp, wall, audit logic all into PID 1 (or logind?), get rid of systemd-update-utmp-runlevel
* when breaking cycles drop sysv services first, then services from /run, then from /etc, then from /usr
-* automount: implement expire:
- - set superblock timeout AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_TIMEOUT_CMD
- - periodically run AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_EXPIRE_CMD
- - every timeout/4 (original autofs logic)
- - blocking, needs a thread
- - run until -EAGAIN
- - receive expire packet on pipe if kernel tells the timeout is over
- - call umount
- - answer expire packet on pipe with AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_{READY,FAIL}_CMD
- - AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_EXPIRE_CMD returns
-
* ExecOnFailure=/usr/bin/foo
* udev:
* tmpfiles:
- apply "x" on "D" too (see patch from William Douglas)
+ - replace F with f+.
+ - instead of ignoring unknown fields, reject them.
* for services: do not set $HOME in services unless requested
- add functions to set previously stored IPv6 addresses on startup and get
them at shutdown; store them in client->ia_na
- write more test cases
- - implement and do duplicate address detection, see rfc 4862, 5.4.
- implement reconfigure support, see 5.3., 15.11. and 22.20.
- implement support for temporary adressess (IA_TA)
- implement dhcpv6 authentication
