-* MEMORY return code is overloaded for syntax errors in the commandline.
+* 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.
Features:
+* add "systemctl start -v foobar.service" that shows logs of a service
+ while the start command runs. This is non-trivial to do without
+ races though, since we should flush out all journal messages before
+ returning from the "systemctl stop".
+
+* increase CORE resource limit by default for all services, so that coredumpctl becomes useful
+
+* firstboot: make it useful to be run immediately after yum --installroot to set up a machine.
+
+* 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
+
+* expose orientation sensors through logind
+
+* 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
+
+* resolved: maybe randomize DNS UDP source ports
+
+* resolved: maybe compare query section of DNS replies
+
+* 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=
+
+* kdbus: set the bus-wide creds sender requirement mask to ANY
+
+* kdbus: busnames.target should get pulled in by basic.target
+
+* code cleanup: retire FOREACH_WORD_QUOTED, port to unquote_first_word() loops instead
+
+* 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.
+
* 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
* maybe allow timer units with an empty Units= setting, so that they
can be used for resuming the system but nothing else.
-* what to do about udev db binary stability for apps?
+* what to do about udev db binary stability for apps? (raw access is not an option)
* 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
* maybe support a new very "soft" reboot mode, that simply kills all processes, disassembles everything, flushes /run and sysvipc, and then reexecs systemd again
* maybe add "systemctl edit" that copies unit files from /usr/lib/systemd/system to /etc/systemd/system and invokes vim on them
-* maybe introduce AssertXYZ= similar to ConditionXYZ= that causes a unit to fail (instead of skipping it) if some condition is not true...
-
* refcounting in sd-resolve is borked
* exponential backoff in timesyncd and resolved when we cannot reach a server
* support empty /etc boots nicely:
- nspawn/gpt-generator: introduce new gpt partition type for /usr
- fstab-generator: support systemd.volatile=yes|no|state on the kernel cmdline, too, similar to nspawn's --volatile=
- - fstab-generator: add support for usr= in addition to root= on the kernel cmdline
* generator that automatically discovers btrfs subvolumes, identifies their purpose based on some xattr on them.
ReadOnlyDirectories=... for whitelisting files for a service.
* sd-bus:
+ - kdbus: maybe add euid, egid, fsuid, fsgid, controlling tty and ppid 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
- when kdbus does not take our message without memfds, try again with memfds
- systemd-bus-proxyd needs to enforce good old XML policy
- allow updating attach flags during runtime
* maybe add a generator that looks for "systemd.run=" on the kernel cmdline for container usercases...
-* timedatectl: print a nicer message when enabling ntp fails because ntpd/chrony are not installed
-
* cgtop: make cgtop useful in a container
* test/:
* service: watchdog logic: for testing purposes allow ping, but do not require pong
* journal:
+ - consider introducing implicit _TTY= + _PPID= + _EUID= + _EGID= + _FSUID= + _FSGID= fields
- import and delete pstore filesystem content at startup
- journald: also get thread ID from client, plus thread name
- journal: when waiting for journal additions in the client always sleep at least 1s or so, in order to minimize wakeups
- 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.
- journal: find a way to allow dropping history early, based on priority, other rules
- journal: When used on NFS, check payload hashes
- - journald: check whether it is OK if the client can still modify delivered journal entries
- journal live copy, based on libneon (client) and libmicrohttpd (server)
- journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
- refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
- journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
- journal: deal nicely with byte-by-byte copied files, especially regards header
- - journal: store euid in journal if it differs from uid
- journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the components would fit
- Replace utmp, wtmp, btmp, and lastlog completely with journal
- journalctl: instead --after-cursor= maybe have a --cursor=XYZ+1 syntax?
- - tmpfiles: when applying ownership to /run/log/journal, also do this for the journal fails contained in it
- when a kernel driver logs in a tight loop, we should ratelimit that too.
- journald: optionally, log debug messages to /run but everything else to /var
- journald: when we drop syslog messages because the syslog socket is
- 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
- Modulate timer frequency based on battery state
-* update the kernel's TZ (sys_tz) when DST changes
-
-* sync down the system time to the RTC when:
- - CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (the user explicitely requested a time set)
- - DST/timezone changes && ntp is active && RTC-in-localtime (never do it without ntp)
- This takes care of syncing ntpdate updates to the RTC, and DST updates for localtime
- mode, it will never touch the RTC if the no reliable time source is active or the
- user did not request anything like it.
-
* add libsystemd-password or so to query passwords during boot using the password agent logic
* 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().
* make timer units go away after they elapsed
-* come up with a nice way to write queue/read_ahead_kb for a block device without interfering with readahead
-
* move PID 1 segfaults to /var/lib/systemd/coredump?
* create /sbin/init symlinks from the build system
* fingerprint.target, wireless.target, gps.target, netdevice.target
-* drop cap bounding set in readahead and other services
-
* systemd-python:
- figure out a simple way to wait for journal events in a way that
works with ^C
