+Fixes needed before 217:
+
+* 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
+
Bugfixes:
+
* Re-enable "fsck -l" when it is ready:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=79576#c5
* properly handle .mount unit state tracking when two mount points are stacked one on top of another on the exact same mount point.
-External:
-* Fedora: when installing fedora with yum --installroot /var/run is a directory, not a symlink
- https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=975864
+After killing 'systemd --user', systemctl restart user@... fails.
+/run/user/1000/systemd/notify has to be removed manually.
+ExecStart with unicode characters fails in strv_split_quoted:
+
+ [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 commandline.
+str_split_quoted() should return a real return code, so spawn_child can
+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
* 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.
+
Features:
+* 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?
+
+* 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
+
+* send SIGABRT when a service watchdog is triggered, by default, so that we acquire a backtrace of the hang.
+
+* shouldn't RouteMetric= in networkd's [DHCP] section move to [Network]?
+
+* 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
+ can be used for resuming the system but nothing else.
+
+* 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
+
+* bus-proxy: when passing messages from kdbus, make sure we properly
+ handle the case where a large number of fds is appended that we
+ 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
+
+* systemd-nspawn@.service should fail if some nspawn arg is invalid, with Type=notify
+
+* "machinectl list" should probably show columns for OS version and IP addresses
+
+* systemctl: if it fails, show log output?
+
+* 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...
* merge ~/.local/share and ~/.local/lib into one similar /usr/lib and /usr/share....
-* remove readahead in 217
-
* journald: allows specification of UID range for splitting up journal files
* systemd.show_status= should probably have a mode where only failed
* networkd:
- add LLDP client side support
- - ipv4ll with multiple interfaces doesn't work when both dhcp and
- ipv4ll is used. for some reasons the kernel will currently pick an
- ipv4ll source address to reach non-ipv4ll gateways.
- - dhcp and ipv4ll should probably be skipped for "lo" devices, even
- if the user has a catchall .network file installed, that might
- theoretically match it.
- 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
to clients. It should also pass on its own timezone information.
- provide a way to define a per-network interface default metric value
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 ?
* resolved:
- put networkd events and rtnl events at a higher priority, so that
* journalctl: add the ability to look for the most recent process of a binary. journalctl /usr/bin/X11 --pid=-1 or so...
-* set NOTIFY_SOCKET also for control processes
-
* mount_cgroup_controllers(): symlinks need to get the label applied
* For timer units: add some mechanisms so that timer units that trigger immediately on boot do not have the services
* sd-event
- allow multiple signal handlers per signal?
+ - document chaining of signal handler for SIGCHLD and child handlers
* in the final killing spree, detect processes from the root directory, and
complain loudly if they have argv[0][0] == '@' set.
- "systemctl mask" should find all names by which a unit is accessible
(i.e. by scanning for symlinks to it) and link them all to /dev/null
- systemctl list-unit-files should list generated files (and probably with a new state "generated" for them, or so)
- - systemctl: maybe add "systemctl add-wants" or so...
* timer units:
- timer units should get the ability to trigger when:
* ExecOnFailure=/usr/bin/foo
* udev:
- - remove src/udev/udev-builtin-firmware.c (CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER=n)
- move to LGPL
- kill scsi_id
- add trigger --subsystem-match=usb/usb_device device
- 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 elapsed time option
- implement dhcpv6 authentication
- investigate the usefulness of Confirm messages; i.e. are there any
situations where the link changes without any loss in carrier detection
