-Preparations for 218:
-
-* port libmount hookup to use API's own inotify interface
-
-* Backport: git notes
-
-* cgroup delegation issues
-
Bugfixes:
* Should systemctl status \* work on all unit types, not just .service?
automount points even when the original .automount file did not exist
anymore. Only the .mount unit was still around.
-* properly handle .mount unit state tracking when two mount points are stacked one on top of another on the exact same mount point.
-
* ExecStart with unicode characters fails in strv_split_quoted:
[Service]
* 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
-
* Fedora: move kernel image to /usr/lib/modules/, kernel-install will take care of populating /boot
* Fedora: remove /etc/resolv.conf tmpfiles hack
* 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:
+
+* dkr import hash verification
+
+* rework journald sigbus stuff to use mutex
+
+* create importd daemon, move "systemd-import" tool into machinectl
+
Features:
-* journald: broken file systems are real (btrfs), we need to handle
- SIGBUS in some way if we cannot write or read from the disk.
- https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1151848
+* import: when pulling raw images, detect NUL blocks, and create sparse files
+
+* import: support import from local files, and export to local files
+
+* import: add "pull-tar" support, for downloading/verifying tarballs
+
+* import: support compressed raw images
+
+* import: support verifiying raw images with gpg
+
+* 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
+
+* bus-proxy: reload policy when PID 1 reports a reload
+
+* the dbus1 connection user id is actually the euid, not the uid, and creds should return that
+
+* introduce systemd-nspawn-ephemeral@.service, and hook it into "machinectl start" with a new --ephemeral switch
+
+* logind,machined: add generic catch-all polkit verbs for most priviliged operations, similar to systemd itself
+
+* "machinectl status" should also show internal logs of the container in question
+
+* nspawn: don't change superblock mount options from nspawn for cgroup hierarchies
+
+* "machinectl list-images" should show os-release data, as well as machine-info data (including deployment level)
+
+* nspawn: when start a container "foobar" look for its configuration in a file "foobar.nspawn" in /etc/systemd/nspawn/ as well as next to the actualy directory or image to boot
+
+* 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
+
+* Find a solution for SMACK capabilities stuff:
+ http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-December/026188.html
+
+* port libmount hookup to use API's own inotify interface, as soon as that is table in libmount
* "systemctl preset-all" should probably order the unit files it
operates on lexicographically before starting to work, in order to
* systemd-journal-upload (or a new, related tool): allow pushing out
journal messages onto the network in BSD syslog protocol,
- continously. Default to some link-local IP mcast group, to make this
+ continuously. Default to some link-local IP mcast group, to make this
useful as a one-stop debugging tool.
* synchronize console access with BSD locks:
* timedated should compensate on SetTime for the time spent in polkit
-* figure out what to do with libmount and utab?
-
-* We really should have a FOREACH macro to iterate through inotify events we read, similar to KDBUS_FOREACH_ITEM
-
* figure out when we can use the coarse timers
* sd-resolve: drop res_query wrapping, people should call via the bus to resolved instead
* systemd --user should issue sd_notify() upon reaching basic.target, not on becoming idle
-* configure.ac pretends dbus was optional but actually hardcodes use of dbus' pkg-config file to determine various dbus dirs such as policy and activation dirs
-
* consider showing the unit names during boot up in the status output, not just the unit descriptions
* dhcp: do we allow configuring dhcp routes on interfaces that are not the one we got the dhcp info from?
* systemctl: if some operation fails, show log output?
-* systemctl edit: add commented help text to the end, like git commit
+* systemctl edit:
+- allow creation of units from scratch
+- use equvalent of cat() to insert existing config as a comment, prepended with #.
+ Upon editor exit, lines with one # are removed, lines with two # are left with one #, etc.
* refcounting in sd-resolve is borked
desktop UIs such as gnome-shell to freeze apps that are not visible
on screen, not unlike how job control works on the shell
-* completions:
- - manager property enumeration was broken when systemd moved to /usr/lib/
-
* cgroups:
- implement per-slice CPUFairScheduling=1 switch
- handle jointly mounted controllers correctly
ReadOnlyDirectories=... for whitelisting files for a service.
* sd-bus:
+ - 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
- - kdbus: PID/TID goes missing for method calls from outside the PID namespace?
- - kdbus: the kernel should not allow messages to be delivered that have a reply serial != 0, reply-expect unset, but no appropriate window
- - kdbus: timestamps on kernel's NameOwnerChanged messages?
- - kdbus' busnames.target should get pulled in by basic.target
- - Ignore .busname units on classic D-Bus boots, systemd-resolved cannot be started on kdbus
- without the active policy and should get a Wants=org.freedesktop.resolve1.busname to
- pull-in the policy.
- port to sd-resolve for connecting to TCP dbus servers
- - kdbus: maybe add controlling tty and ppid metadata fields
+ - 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
- when kdbus does not take our message without memfds, try again with memfds
- - introduce sd_bus_emit_object_added()/sd_bus_emit_object_removed() that automatically includes the build-in interfaces in the list
- see if we can drop more message validation on the sending side
- add API to clone sd_bus_message objects
- make AddMatch calls on dbus1 transports async?
* teach ConditionKernelCommandLine= globs or regexes (in order to match foobar={no,0,off})
-* after all byte-wise realloc() is slow, even on glibc, so i guess we
- need manual exponential loops after all
-
* BootLoaderSpec: Clarify that the kernel has to be in $BOOT. Clarify
that the boot loader should be installed to the ESP. Define a way
how an installer can figure out whether a BLS compliant boot loader
- journal: add a setgid "systemd-journal" utility to invoke from libsystemd-journal, which passes fds via STDOUT and does PK access
- journactl: support negative filtering, i.e. FOOBAR!="waldo",
and !FOOBAR for events without FOOBAR.
- - journal: send out marker messages every now and then, and immediately sync with fdatasync() afterwards, in order to have hourly guaranteed syncs.
+ - journal: store timestamp of journal_file_set_offline() int he header,
+ so it is possible to display when the file was last synced.
- 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
- - 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.
* currently x-systemd.timeout is lost in the initrd, since crypttab is copied into dracut, but fstab is not
* nspawn:
- - bind mount read-only the cgroup tree higher than nspawn
- refuses to boot containers without /etc/machine-id (OK?), and with empty /etc/machine-id (not OK).
- - support taking a btrfs snapshot at startup and dropping it afterwards
- - introduce machines.target to order after all nspawn instances
- - systemd-nspawn@.service should fail if some nspawn arg is invalid, with Type=notify
- - PID 1 doesn't apply nspawns devices cgroup policy
* cryptsetup:
- cryptsetup-generator: allow specification of passwords in crypttab itself
- 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 information request, see 1.2. and 18.1.5.
- implement support for temporary adressess (IA_TA)
- implement dhcpv6 authentication
- investigate the usefulness of Confirm messages; i.e. are there any
* zsh shell completion:
- <command> <verb> -<TAB> should complete options, but currently does not
- - systemctl add-wants,add-requires, edit
+ - systemctl add-wants,add-requires
