3 * Should systemctl status \* work on all unit types, not just .service?
5 * Dangling symlinks of .automount unit files in .wants/ directories, set up
6 automount points even when the original .automount file did not exist
7 anymore. Only the .mount unit was still around.
9 * properly handle .mount unit state tracking when two mount points are stacked one on top of another on the exact same mount point.
11 * ExecStart with unicode characters fails in strv_split_quoted:
14 Environment=ONE='one' "TWO='two two' too" THREE=
15 ExecStart=/bin/python3 -c 'import sys;print(sys.argv)' $ONE $TWO $THREE
17 * MEMORY return code is overloaded for syntax errors in the command line.
18 str_split_quoted() should return a real return code, so spawn_child can
19 report the failure properly.
23 * Fedora: add an rpmlint check that verifies that all unit files in the RPM are listed in %systemd_post macros.
25 * Fedora: post FPC ticket to move add %tmpfiles_create to the packaging guidelines
27 * Fedora: move kernel image to /usr/lib/modules/, kernel-install will take care of populating /boot
29 * Fedora: remove /etc/resolv.conf tmpfiles hack
31 * wiki: update journal format documentation for lz4 additions
33 * When lz4 gets an API for lz4 command output, make use of it to
34 compress coredumps in a way compatible with /usr/bin/lz4.
38 * sd-resolve: drop res_query wrapping, people should call via the bus to resolved instead
40 * add "systemctl start -v foobar.service" that shows logs of a service
41 while the start command runs. This is non-trivial to do without
42 races though, since we should flush out all journal messages before
43 returning from the "systemctl stop".
45 * firstboot: make it useful to be run immediately after yum --installroot to set up a machine. (most specifically, make --copy-root-password work even if /etc/passwd already exists
47 * timesyncd + resolved: add ugly bus calls to set NTP and DNS servers per-interface, for usage by NM
49 * networkd-wait-online really should have a timeout by default
51 * 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
53 * machined: add an API so that libvirt-lxc can inform us about network interfaces being removed or added to an existing machine
55 * maybe add support for specifier expansion in user.conf, specifically DefaultEnvironment=
57 * code cleanup: retire FOREACH_WORD_QUOTED, port to unquote_first_word() loops instead
59 * introduce systemd-timesync-wait.service or so to sync on an NTP fix?
61 * systemd --user should issue sd_notify() upon reaching basic.target, not on becoming idle
63 * 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
65 * consider showing the unit names during boot up in the status output, not just the unit descriptions
67 * dhcp: do we allow configuring dhcp routes on interfaces that are not the one we got the dhcp info from?
69 * maybe allow timer units with an empty Units= setting, so that they
70 can be used for resuming the system but nothing else.
72 * what to do about udev db binary stability for apps? (raw access is not an option)
74 * maybe provide an API to allow migration of foreign PIDs into existing scopes.
76 * maybe support a new very "soft" reboot mode, that simply kills all processes, disassembles everything, flushes /run and sysvipc, and then reexecs systemd again
78 * man: document that corrupted journal files is nothing to act on
80 * man: maybe use the word "inspect" rather than "introspect"?
82 * "machinectl list" should probably show columns for OS version and IP addresses
84 * systemctl: if some operation fails, show log output?
86 * maybe add "systemctl edit" that copies unit files from /usr/lib/systemd/system to /etc/systemd/system and invokes vim on them
88 * refcounting in sd-resolve is borked
90 * exponential backoff in timesyncd and resolved when we cannot reach a server
92 * tmpfiles: port to unquote_many_words(), similar to sysusers
94 * unquote_many_words() should probably be used by a lot of code that
95 currently uses FOREACH_WORD and friends. For example, most conf
96 parsing callbacks should use it.
98 * merge ~/.local/share and ~/.local/lib into one similar /usr/lib and /usr/share....
100 * systemd.show_status= should probably have a mode where only failed
104 - add LLDP client side support
105 - the DHCP lease data (such as NTP/DNS) is still made available when
106 a carrier is lost on a link. It should be removed instantly.
107 - .network setting that allows overriding of the hostname to send to the dhcp server
108 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-July/021550.html
109 - expose in the API the following bits:
110 - option 15, domain name and/or option 119, search list
111 - option 12, host name and/or option 81, fqdn
112 - option 100, 101, timezone
113 - option 123, 144, geolocation
114 - option 252, configure http proxy (PAC/wpad)
115 - networkd's dhcp server should transparently pass on the DNS and
116 NTP server list it got from user configuration and its dhcp client
117 to clients. It should also pass on its own timezone information.
118 - provide a way to define a per-network interface default metric value
119 for all routes to it. possibly a second default for DHCP routes.
120 - allow Name= to be specified repeatedly in the [Match] section. Maybe also
121 support Name=foo*|bar*|baz ?
124 - put networkd events and rtnl events at a higher priority, so that
125 we always process them before we process client requests
127 - use base64 for key presentation?
128 - add display of private key types (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4034#appendix-A.1.1)?
129 - add nice formatting of DNS timestamps
134 - DNS-SD service registration from socket units
138 - maybe randomize DNS UDP source ports
139 - maybe compare query section of DNS replies
141 * Allow multiple ExecStart= for all Type= settings, so that we can cover rescue.service nicely
143 * Add a new verb "systemctl top"
145 * add new gpt type for btrfs volumes
147 * support empty /etc boots nicely:
148 - nspawn/gpt-generator: introduce new gpt partition type for /usr
149 - fstab-generator: support systemd.volatile=yes|no|state on the kernel cmdline, too, similar to nspawn's --volatile=
151 * generator that automatically discovers btrfs subvolumes, identifies their purpose based on some xattr on them.
153 * timer units: actually add extra delays to timer units with high AccuracySec values, don't start them already when we are awake...
155 * a way for container managers to turn off getty starting via $container_headless= or so...
157 * figure out a nice way how we can let the admin know what child/sibling unit causes cgroup membership for a specific unit
159 * mount_cgroup_controllers(): symlinks need to get the label applied
161 * For timer units: add some mechanisms so that timer units that trigger immediately on boot do not have the services
162 they run added to the initial transaction and thus confuse Type=idle.
164 * Run most system services with cgroupfs read-only and procfs with a more secure mode (doesn't work, since the hidepid= option is per-pid-namespace, not per-mount)
166 * sd-event: generate a failure of a default event loop is executed out-of-thread
168 * add bus api to query unit file's X fields.
170 * consider adding RuntimeDirectoryUser= + RuntimeDirectoryGroup=
172 * sd-event: define more intervals where we will shift wakeup intervals around in, 1h, 6h, 24h, ...
174 * gpt-auto-generator:
175 - Support LUKS for root devices
176 - Define new partition type for encrypted swap? Support probed LUKS for encrypted swap?
177 - Make /home automount rather than mount?
179 * add generator that pulls in systemd-network from containers when
180 CAP_NET_ADMIN is set, more than the loopback device is defined, even
181 when it is otherwise off
183 * MessageQueueMessageSize= and RLimitFSIZE= (and suchlike) should use parse_iec_size().
185 * "busctl status" works only as root on dbus1, since we cannot read
188 * implement Distribute= in socket units to allow running multiple
189 service instances processing the listening socket, and open this up
192 * socket units: support creating sockets in different namespace,
193 opening it up for JoinsNamespaceOf=. This would require to fork off
194 a tiny process that joins the namespace and creates/binds the socket
195 and passes this back to PID1 via SCM_RIGHTS. This also could be used
196 to allow Chown/chgrp on sockets without requiring NSS in PID 1.
198 * New service property: maximum CPU and wallclock runtime for a service
200 * introduce bus call FreezeUnit(s, b), as well as "systemctl freeze
201 $UNIT" and "systemctl thaw $UNIT" as wrappers around this. The calls
202 should SIGSTOP all unit processes in a loop until all processes of
203 it are fully stopped. This can later be used for app management by
204 desktop UIs such as gnome-shell to freeze apps that are not visible
205 on screen, not unlike how job control works on the shell
208 - manager property enumeration was broken when systemd moved to /usr/lib/
211 - implement per-slice CPUFairScheduling=1 switch
212 - handle jointly mounted controllers correctly
213 - introduce high-level settings for RT budget, swappiness
214 - how to reset dynamically changed unit cgroup attributes sanely?
215 - when reloading configuration, apply new cgroup configuration
216 - when recursively showing the cgroup hierarchy, optionally also show
217 the hierarchies of child processes
220 - allow creating auxiliary units with the same call
221 - add field to transient units that indicate whether systemd or somebody else saves/restores its settings, for integration with libvirt
222 - ensure scope units may be started only a single time
224 * Automatically configure swap partition to use for hibernation by looking for largest swap partition on the root disk?
226 * when we detect low battery and no AC on boot, show pretty splash and refuse boot
228 * machined, localed: when we try to kill an empty cgroup, generate an ESRCH error over the bus
230 * libsystemd-journal, libsystemd-login, libudev: add calls to easily attach these objects to sd-event event loops
232 * be more careful what we export on the bus as (usec_t) 0 and (usec_t) -1
234 * unify dispatch table in systemctl_main() and friends
236 * rfkill,backlight: we probably should run the load tools inside of the udev rules so that the state is properly initialized by the time other software sees it
238 * After coming back from hibernation reset hibernation swap partition using the /dev/snapshot ioctl APIs
240 * If we try to find a unit via a dangling symlink, generate a clean
241 error. Currently, we just ignore it and read the unit from the search
244 * refuse boot if /etc/os-release is missing or /etc/machine-id cannot be set up
246 * btrfs raid assembly: some .device jobs stay stuck in the queue
248 * make sure gdm does not use multi-user-x but the new default X configuration file, and then remove multi-user-x from systemd
250 * man: the documentation of Restart= currently is very misleading and suggests the tools from ExecStartPre= might get restarted.
252 * load .d/*.conf dropins for device units
254 * allow implementation of InaccessibleDirectories=/ plus
255 ReadOnlyDirectories=... for whitelisting files for a service.
258 - kdbus: maybe add controlling tty and ppid metadata fields
259 - 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
260 - when kdbus does not take our message without memfds, try again with memfds
261 - systemd-bus-proxyd needs to enforce good old XML policy
262 - introduce sd_bus_emit_object_added()/sd_bus_emit_object_removed() that automatically includes the build-in interfaces in the list
263 - port to sd-resolve for connecting to TCP dbus servers
264 - see if we can drop more message validation on the sending side
265 - add API to clone sd_bus_message objects
266 - make AddMatch calls on dbus1 transports async?
267 - kdbus: matches against source or destination pids for an "strace -p"-like feel. Problem: The PID info needs to be available in userspace too...
268 - longer term: priority inheritance
271 - NameLost/NameAcquired obsolete
274 - update systemd.special(7) to mention that dbus.socket is only about the compatibility socket now
275 - test bloom filter generation indexes
276 - kdbus: peeking is subject to a race when we look at a message while the message is being migrated to the implementor's connection. Needs kernel fix, and then we need to invoke the FREE ioctl in busname_peek_message()
277 - kdbus: for some reason "busctl monitor" only shows metadata for signal msgs, never method call or method reply msgs
278 - kdbus: busnames.target should get pulled in by basic.target
279 - Ignore .busname units on classic D-Bus boots, systemd-resolved cannot be started on kdbus
280 without the active policy and should get a Wants=org.freedesktop.resolve1.busname to
282 - bus-proxy: when passing messages from kdbus, make sure we properly
283 handle the case where a large number of fds is appended that we
284 cannot pass into sendmsg() of the AF_UNIX sokcet (which only accepts
286 - kdbus: auxgroups is now uin32_t, we don't have to convert the array anymore while exposing it in the creds structure
287 - kdbus: introduce a concept of "send-only" connections
290 - allow multiple signal handlers per signal?
291 - document chaining of signal handler for SIGCHLD and child handlers
293 * in the final killing spree, detect processes from the root directory, and
294 complain loudly if they have argv[0][0] == '@' set.
295 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=961044
297 * investigate endianness issues of UUID vs. GUID
299 * dbus: when a unit failed to load (i.e. is in UNIT_ERROR state), we
300 should be able to safely try another attempt when the bus call LoadUnit() is invoked.
302 * add a pam module that passes the hdd passphrase into the PAM stack and then expires it, for usage by gdm auto-login.
304 * add a pam module that on password changes updates any LUKS slot where the password matches
306 * maybe add a generator that looks for "systemd.run=" on the kernel cmdline for container usercases...
308 * cgtop: make cgtop useful in a container
311 - add 'set -e' to scripts in test/
312 - make stuff in test/ work with separate output dir
314 * seems that when we follow symlinks to units we prefer the symlink
315 destination path over /etc and /usr. We should not do that. Instead
316 /etc should always override /run+/usr and also any symlink
319 * when isolating, try to figure out a way how we implicitly can order
320 all units we stop before the isolating unit...
322 * teach ConditionKernelCommandLine= globs or regexes (in order to match foobar={no,0,off})
324 * after all byte-wise realloc() is slow, even on glibc, so i guess we
325 need manual exponential loops after all
327 * BootLoaderSpec: Clarify that the kernel has to be in $BOOT. Clarify
328 that the boot loader should be installed to the ESP. Define a way
329 how an installer can figure out whether a BLS compliant boot loader
332 * think about requeuing jobs when daemon-reload is issued? usecase:
333 the initrd issues a reload after fstab from the host is accessible
334 and we might want to requeue the mounts local-fs acquired through
337 * systemd-inhibit: make taking delay locks useful: support sending SIGINT or SIGTERM on PrepareForSleep()
339 * journal-or-kmsg is currently broken? See reverted commit 4a01181e460686d8b4a543b1dfa7f77c9e3c5ab8.
341 * remove any syslog support from log.c -- we probably cannot do this before split-off udev is gone for good
343 * shutdown logging: store to EFI var, and store to USB stick?
345 * write UI tool that pops up emergency messages from the journal as notification
347 * think about window-manager-run-as-user-service problem: exit 0 → activate shutdown.target; exit != 0 → restart service
349 * merge unit_kill_common() and unit_kill_context()
351 * introduce ExecCondition= in services
354 - honor language efi variables for default language selection (if there are any?)
355 - honor timezone efi variables for default timezone selection (if there are any?)
356 - change bootctl to be backed by systemd-bootd to control temporary and persistent default boot goal plus efi variables
358 * maybe do not install getty@tty1.service symlink in /etc but in /usr?
360 * re-enable "make check" for gtk-doc (broken for unknown reason)
362 * fstab: add new mount option x-systemd-after=/foobar/waldo to allow manual dependencies to other mount points
363 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=812826
365 * print a nicer explanation if people use variable/specifier expansion in ExecStart= for the first word
367 * mount: turn dependency information from /proc/self/mountinfo into dependency information between systemd units.
370 - logind: optionally, ignore idle-hint logic for autosuspend, block suspend as long as a session is around
371 - When we update the kernel all kind of hibernation should be prohibited until shutdown/reboot
372 - logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
373 - Add pretty name for seats in logind
374 - logind: allow showing logout dialog from system?
375 - we should probably handle SIGTERM/SIGINT to not leave dot files around, just in case
376 - session scopes/user unit: add RequiresMountsFor for the home directory of the user
377 - add Suspend() bus calls which take timestamps to fix double suspend issues when somebody hits suspend and closes laptop quickly.
378 - if pam_systemd is invoked by su from a process that is outside of a
379 any session we should probably just become a NOP, since that's
380 usually not a real user session but just some system code that just
382 - logind: make the Suspend()/Hibernate() bus calls wait for the for
383 the job to be completed. before returning, so that clients can wait
384 for "systemctl suspend" to finish to know when the suspending is
386 - logind: when the power button is pressed short, just popup a
387 logout dialog. If it is pressed for 1s, do the usual
388 shutdown. Inspiration are Macs here.
389 - logind: allow users to kill or lock their own sessions
390 - expose "Locked" property on logind sesison objects
391 - given that logind now lets PID 1 do all nasty work, we can
392 probably reduce the capability set it retains substantially.
393 (we need CAP_SYS_ADMIN for drmSetMaster(), so maybe not worth it)
394 - expose orientation sensors and tablet mode through logind
396 * exec: when deinitializating a tty device fix the perms and group, too, not only when initializing. Set access mode/gid to 0620/tty.
398 * service: watchdog logic: for testing purposes allow ping, but do not require pong
401 - consider introducing implicit _TTY= + _PPID= + _EUID= + _EGID= + _FSUID= + _FSGID= fields
402 - import and delete pstore filesystem content at startup
403 - journald: also get thread ID from client, plus thread name
404 - journal: when waiting for journal additions in the client always sleep at least 1s or so, in order to minimize wakeups
405 - add API to close/reopen/get fd for journal client fd in libsystemd-journal.
406 - fallback to /dev/log based logging in libsystemd-journal, if we cannot log natively?
407 - declare the local journal protocol stable in the wiki interface chart
408 - journal: reuse XZ context
409 - sd-journal: speed up sd_journal_get_data() with transparent hash table in bg
410 - journald: when dropping msgs due to ratelimit make sure to write
411 "dropped %u messages" not only when we are about to print the next
412 message that works, but alraedy after a short tiemout
413 - check if we can make journalctl by default use --follow mode inside of less if called without args?
414 - maybe add API to send pairs of iovecs via sd_journal_send
415 - journal: when writing journal auto-rotate if time jumps backwards
416 - journal: add a setgid "systemd-journal" utility to invoke from libsystemd-journal, which passes fds via STDOUT and does PK access
417 - journactl: support negative filtering, i.e. FOOBAR!="waldo",
418 and !FOOBAR for events without FOOBAR.
419 - journal: send out marker messages every now and then, and immediately sync with fdatasync() afterwards, in order to have hourly guaranteed syncs.
420 - 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.
421 - journal: find a way to allow dropping history early, based on priority, other rules
422 - journal: When used on NFS, check payload hashes
423 - journal live copy, based on libneon (client) and libmicrohttpd (server)
424 - journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
425 - refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
426 - journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
427 - journal: deal nicely with byte-by-byte copied files, especially regards header
428 - journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the components would fit
429 - Replace utmp, wtmp, btmp, and lastlog completely with journal
430 - journalctl: instead --after-cursor= maybe have a --cursor=XYZ+1 syntax?
431 - when a kernel driver logs in a tight loop, we should ratelimit that too.
432 - journald: optionally, log debug messages to /run but everything else to /var
433 - journald: when we drop syslog messages because the syslog socket is
434 full, make sure to write how many messages are lost as first thing
435 to syslog when it works again.
436 - journald: make sure ratelimit is actually really per-service with the new cgroup changes
437 - change systemd-journal-flush into a service that stays around during
438 boot, and causes the journal to be moved back to /run on shutdown,
439 so that we do not keep /var busy. This needs to happen synchronously,
440 hence doing this via signals is not going to work.
441 - optionally support running journald from the command line for testing purposes in external projects
442 - journald: allow per-priority and per-service retention times when rotating/vacuuming
443 - journald: make use of uid-range.h to managed uid ranges to split
445 - journalctl: add the ability to look for the most recent process of a binary. journalctl /usr/bin/X11 --pid=-1 or so...
446 - improve journalctl performance by loading journal files
447 lazily. Encode just enough information in the file name, so that we
448 do not have to open it to know that it is not interesting for us, for
449 the most common operations.
452 - document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fields in
453 [Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
454 - man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
455 - document the exit codes when services fail before they are exec()ed
456 - document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
457 - document in wiki how to map ical recurrence events to systemd timer unit calendar specifications
458 - add a man page containing packaging guidelines and recommending usage of things like Documentation=, PrivateTmp=, PrivateNetwork= and ReadOnlyDirectories=/etc /usr.
459 - document systemd-journal-flush.service properly
460 - documentation: recommend to connect the timer units of a service to the service via Also= in [Install]
461 - man: document the very specific env the shutdown drop-in tools live in
462 - man: extend runlevel(8) to mention that runlevels suck, and are dead. Maybe add runlevel(7) with a note about that too
463 - man: add more examples to man pages
464 - man: maybe sort directives in man pages, and take sections from --help and apply them to man too
467 - systemctl list-jobs - show dependencies
468 - add systemctl switch to dump transaction without executing it
469 - Add a verbose mode to "systemctl start" and friends that explains what is being done or not done
470 - "systemctl disable" on a static unit prints no message and does
471 nothing. "systemctl enable" does nothing, and gives a bad message
472 about it. Should fix both to print nice actionable messages.
473 - print nice message from systemctl --failed if there are no entries shown, and hook that into ExecStartPre of rescue.service/emergency.service
474 - add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
475 - systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into does not exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
476 - systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
477 - support "systemctl stop foobar@.service" to stop all units matching a certain template
478 - Something is wrong with symlink handling of "autovt@.service" in "systemctl list-unit-files"
479 - better error message if you run systemctl without systemd running
480 - systemctl status output should should include list of triggering units and their status
483 - "systemctl mask" should find all names by which a unit is accessible
484 (i.e. by scanning for symlinks to it) and link them all to /dev/null
485 - systemctl list-unit-files should list generated files (and probably with a new state "generated" for them, or so)
488 - timer units should get the ability to trigger when:
489 o CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (TFD_TIMER_CANCEL_ON_SET)
491 - Support 2012-02~4 as syntax for specifying the fourth to last day of the month.
492 - calendarspec: support value ranges with ".." notation. Example: 2013-4..8-1
493 - 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
494 - Modulate timer frequency based on battery state
496 * add libsystemd-password or so to query passwords during boot using the password agent logic
498 * 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().
500 * fedup: add --unit to systemctl switch-root somehow
501 * fedup: do not delete initrd on switch-root
504 * clean up date formatting and parsing so that all absolute/relative timestamps we format can also be parsed
506 * on shutdown: move utmp, wall, audit logic all into PID 1 (or logind?), get rid of systemd-update-utmp-runlevel
508 * make repeated alt-ctrl-del presses printing a dump, or even force a reboot without
509 waiting for the timeout
511 * hostnamed: before returning information from /etc/machine-info.conf check the modification data and reread. Similar for localed, ...
513 * currently x-systemd.timeout is lost in the initrd, since crypttab is copied into dracut, but fstab is not
516 - bind mount read-only the cgroup tree higher than nspawn
517 - refuses to boot containers without /etc/machine-id (OK?), and with empty /etc/machine-id (not OK).
518 - support taking a btrfs snapshot at startup and dropping it afterwards
519 - introduce machines.target to order after all nspawn instances
520 - systemd-nspawn@.service should fail if some nspawn arg is invalid, with Type=notify
521 - PID 1 doesn't apply nspawns devices cgroup policy
524 - cryptsetup-generator: allow specification of passwords in crypttab itself
525 - move cryptsetup key caching into kernel keyctl?

527 - support rd.luks.allow-discards= kernel cmdline params in cryptsetup generator
529 * hw watchdog: optionally try to use the preset watchdog timeout instead of always overriding it
530 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54712
532 * after deserializing sockets in socket.c we should reapply sockopts and things
534 * make timer units go away after they elapsed
536 * move PID 1 segfaults to /var/lib/systemd/coredump?
538 * create /sbin/init symlinks from the build system
540 * allow writing multiple conditions in unit files on one line
542 * MountFlags=shared acts as MountFlags=slave right now.
544 * drop PID 1 reloading, only do reexecing (difficult: Reload()
545 currently is properly synchronous, Reexec() is weird, because we
546 cannot delay the response properly until we are back, so instead of
547 being properly synchronous we just keep open the fd and close it
548 when done. That means clients do not get a successful method reply,
549 but much rather a disconnect on success.
551 * properly handle loop back mounts via fstab, especially regards to fsck/passno
553 * initialize the hostname from the fs label of /, if /etc/hostname does not exist?
555 * rename "userspace" to "core-os"
557 * load-fragment: when loading a unit file via a chain of symlinks
558 verify that it is not masked via any of the names traversed.
560 * introduce Type=pid-file
562 * change Requires=basic.target to RequisiteOverride=basic.target
564 * when breaking cycles drop sysv services first, then services from /run, then from /etc, then from /usr
566 * automount: implement expire:
567 - set superblock timeout AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_TIMEOUT_CMD
568 - periodically run AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_EXPIRE_CMD
569 - every timeout/4 (original autofs logic)
570 - blocking, needs a thread
572 - receive expire packet on pipe if kernel tells the timeout is over
574 - answer expire packet on pipe with AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_{READY,FAIL}_CMD
575 - AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_EXPIRE_CMD returns
577 * ExecOnFailure=/usr/bin/foo
582 - add trigger --subsystem-match=usb/usb_device device
583 - reimport udev db after MOVE events for devices without dev_t
585 * when a service has the same env var set twice we actually store it twice and return that in systemctl show -p... We should only show the last setting
587 * introduce mix of BindTo and Requisite
589 * There's currently no way to cancel fsck (used to be possible via C-c or c on the console)
591 * add option to sockets to avoid activation. Instead just drop packets/connections, see http://cyberelk.net/tim/2012/02/15/portreserve-systemd-solution/
593 * default unix qlen is too small (10). bump sysctl? add sockopt?
595 * save coredump in Windows/Mozilla minidump format
597 * support crash reporting operation modes (https://live.gnome.org/GnomeOS/Design/Whiteboards/ProblemReporting)
599 * default to actual 32-bit PIDs, via /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max
601 * be able to specify a forced restart of service A where service B depends on, in case B
602 needs to be auto-respawned?
604 * when a bus name of a service disappears from the bus make sure to queue further activation requests
607 - apply "x" on "D" too (see patch from William Douglas)
609 * for services: do not set $HOME in services unless requested
611 * hide PAM options in fragment parser when compile time disabled
613 * when we automatically restart a service, ensure we restart its rdeps, too.
615 * allow Type=simple with PIDFile=
616 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=723942
618 * move PAM code into its own binary
620 * implement Register= switch in .socket units to enable registration
621 in Avahi, RPC and other socket registration services.
623 * make sure systemd-ask-password-wall does not shutdown systemd-ask-password-console too early
625 * add ReloadSignal= for configuring a reload signal to use
627 * verify that the AF_UNIX sockets of a service in the fs still exist
628 when we start a service in order to avoid confusion when a user
629 assumes starting a service is enough to make it accessible
631 * Make it possible to set the keymap independently from the font on
632 the kernel cmdline. Right now setting one resets also the other.
634 * and a dbus call to generate target from current state
636 * GC unreferenced jobs (such as .device jobs)
638 * write blog stories about:
639 - hwdb: what belongs into it, lsusb
640 - enabling dbus services
642 - how to make changes to sysctl and sysfs attributes
644 - how to pass throw-away units to systemd, or dynamically change properties of existing units
645 - testing with Harald's awesome test kit
647 - how to develop against journal browsing APIs
648 - the journal HTTP iface
649 - non-cgroup resource management
650 - dynamic resource management with cgroups
651 - refreshed, longer missions statement
652 - calendar time events
653 - init=/bin/sh vs. "emergency" mode, vs. "rescue" mode, vs. "multi-user" mode, vs. "graphical" mode, and the debug shell
654 - how to create your own target
655 - instantiated apache, dovecot and so on
656 - hooking a script into various stages of shutdown/rearly booot
658 * allow port=0 in .socket units
660 * recreate systemd's D-Bus private socket file on SIGUSR2
662 * Support --test based on current system state
664 * investigate whether the gnome pty helper should be moved into systemd, to provide cgroup support.
666 * maybe introduce ExecRestartPre=
668 * dot output for --test showing the 'initial transaction'
670 * fingerprint.target, wireless.target, gps.target, netdevice.target
673 - figure out a simple way to wait for journal events in a way that
675 - add documentation to systemd.daemon
678 - plot per-process IO utilization
679 - group processes based on service association (cgroups)
680 - document initcall_debug
681 - kernel cmdline "bootchart" option for simplicity?
684 - Make sure ID_PATH is always exported and complete for
685 network devices where possible, so we can safely rely
687 - check MTUBytes parsing (expecting size_t but we are using unsigned)
690 - add support for more attribute types
691 - inbuilt piping support (essentially degenerate async)? see loopback-setup.c and other places
694 - add more keys to [Route] and [Address] sections
695 - add support for more DHCPv4 options (and, longer term, other kinds of dynamic config)
696 - add proper initrd support (in particular generate .network/.link files based on /proc/cmdline)
697 - add reduced [Link] support to .network files
698 - add Scope= parsing option for [Network]
699 - properly handle routerless dhcp leases
700 - add more attribute support for SIT tunnel

708 - figure out how much we can increase Maximum Message Size
709 - export timezone information
710 - support RFC4702 (pass FQDN)
713 - add functions to set previously stored IPv6 addresses on startup and get
714 them at shutdown; store them in client->ia_na
715 - write more test cases
716 - implement and do duplicate address detection, see rfc 4862, 5.4.
717 - implement reconfigure support, see 5.3., 15.11. and 22.20.
718 - implement information request, see 1.2. and 18.1.5.
719 - implement support for temporary adressess (IA_TA)
720 - implement dhcpv6 authentication
721 - investigate the usefulness of Confirm messages; i.e. are there any
722 situations where the link changes without any loss in carrier detection
724 - some servers don't do rapid commit without a filled in IA_NA, verify
730 - natively watch for dbus-*.service symlinks (PENDING)

733 * fix alsa mixer restore to not print error when no config is stored
735 * make cryptsetup lower --iter-time
737 * patch kernel for xattr support in /dev, /proc/, /sys?
739 * kernel: add device_type = "fb", "fbcon" to class "graphics"
741 * drop accountsservice's StandardOutput=syslog and Type=dbus fields
743 * dbus upstream still refers to dbus.target and should not
745 * dbus: in fedora, make /var/lib/dbus/machine-id a symlink to /etc/machine-id
747 * add "# export SYSTEMD_PAGER=" to bash login
749 * /usr/bin/service should actually show the new command line
751 * fedora: suggest auto-restart on failure, but not on success and not on coredump. also, ask people to think about changing the start limit logic. Also point people to RestartPreventExitStatus=, SuccessExitStatus=
753 * fedora: F20: go timer units all the way, leave cron.daily for cron
755 * neither pkexec nor sudo initialize environ[] from the PAM environment?
757 * fedora: update policy to declare access mode and ownership of unit files to root:root 0644, and add an rpmlint check for it
759 * register catalog database signature as file magic
761 * zsh shell completion:
762 - <command> <verb> -<TAB> should complete options, but currently does not
763 - systemctl add-wants,add-requires
768 * look for close() vs. close_nointr() vs. close_nointr_nofail()
770 * check for strerror(r) instead of strerror(-r)
772 * Use PR_SET_PROCTITLE_AREA if it becomes available in the kernel
776 * set_put(), hashmap_put() return values check. i.e. == 0 does not free()!
778 * use secure_getenv() instead of getenv() where appropriate
780 * link up selected blog stories from man pages and unit files Documentation= fields
782 Scheduled for removal or fixing:
784 * xxxOverridable dependencies (probably: fix)
