2 * enabling an instance unit creates a pointless link, and
3 the unit will be started with getty@getty.service:
4 $ systemctl enable getty@.service
5 ln -s '/usr/lib/systemd/system/getty@.service' '/etc/systemd/system/getty.target.wants/getty@.service'
7 * Dangling symlinks of .automount unit files in .wants/ directories, set up
8 automount points even when the original .automount file did not exist
9 anymore. Only the .mount unit was still around.
11 * properly handle .mount unit state tracking when two mount points are stacked one on top of another on the exact same mount point.
13 * shorten the message to sane length:
15 Cannot add dependency job for unit display-manager.service, ignoring: Unit display-manager.service failed to load: No such file or directory. See system logs and 'systemctl status display-manager.service' for details.
17 * systemctl --root=container/ set-default ... is totally borked.
21 * Fedora: when installing fedora with yum --installroot /var/run is a directory, not a symlink
22 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=975864
24 * Fedora: add an rpmlint check that verifies that all unit files in the RPM are listed in %systemd_post macros.
26 * Fedora: post FPC ticket to move add %tmpfiles_create to the packaging guidelines
30 * Review new libraries
32 * Rework cgroup propagation logic
34 * libsystemd-journal returns the object created as first param in sd_journal_new(), sd_bus_new() and suchlike as last...
36 * Merge Distribute= patches for .socket units
38 * When a Type=forking service fails and needed another service, that
39 service is not cleaned up again when it has StopWhenUnneeded=yes
40 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2013-July/012141.html
44 * maybe: hookup nspawn and PrivateNetwork=yes with "ip netns"
46 * socket units: support creating sockets in different namespace,
47 opening it up for JoinsNamespaceOf=. This would require to fork off
48 a tiny process that joins the namespace and creates/binds the socket
49 and passes this back to PID1 via SCM_RIGHTS. This also could be used
50 to allow Chown/chgrp on sockets without requiring NSS in PID 1.
52 * New service property: maximum CPU and wallclock runtime for a service
54 * introduce bus call FreezeUnit(s, b), as well as "systemctl freeze
55 $UNIT" and "systemctl thaw $UNIT" as wrappers around this. The calls
56 should SIGSTOP all unit processes in a loop until all processes of
57 it are fully stopped. This can later be used for app management by
58 desktop UIs such as gnome-shell to freeze apps that are not visible
59 on screen, not unlike how job control works on the shell
61 * machinectl bash completion is missing
62 * busctl bash and zsh completions are outdated
65 - implement system-wide DefaultCPUAccounting=1 switch (and similar for blockio, memory?)
66 - implement per-slice CPUFairScheduling=1 switch
67 - handle jointly mounted controllers correctly
68 - introduce high-level settings for RT budget, swappiness
69 - how to reset dynamically changed unit cgroup attributes sanely?
70 - when reloading configuration, apply new cgroup configuration
71 - when recursively showing the cgroup hierarchy, optionally also show
72 the hierarchies of child processes
75 - allow creating auxiliary units with the same call
76 - add field to transient units that indicate whether systemd or somebody else saves/restores its settings, for integration with libvirt
77 - ensure scope units may be started only a single time
80 - we probably should replace the left-over uses of strv_append() and replace them by strv_push() or strv_extend()
82 * Automatically configure swap partition to use for hibernation by looking for largest swap partition on the root disk?
84 * when we detect low battery and no AC on boot, show pretty splash and refuse boot
86 * machined, localed: when we try to kill an empty cgroup, generate an ESRCH error over the bus
88 * libsystemd-journal, libsystemd-login, libudev: add calls to easily attach these objects to sd-event event loops
90 * be more careful what we export on the bus as (usec_t) 0 and (usec_t) -1
92 * unify dispatch table in systemctl_main() and friends
94 * Automatically configure swap partition to use for hibernation by looking for largest swap partition on the root disk?
96 * socket-proxyd:Use a nonblocking alternative to getaddrinfo
98 * 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
100 * move config_parse_path_strv() out of conf-parser.c
102 * After coming back from hibernation reset hibernation swap partition using the /dev/snapshot ioctl APIs
104 * If we try to find a unit via a dangling symlink, generate a clean
105 error. Currently, we just ignore it and read the unit from the search
108 * refuse boot if /etc/os-release is missing or /etc/machine-id cannot be set up
110 * given that logind now lets PID 1 do all nasty work, we can
111 probably reduce the capability set it retains substantially.
112 (we need CAP_SYS_ADMIN for drmSetMaster(), so maybe not worth it)
114 * btrfs raid assembly: some .device jobs stay stuck in the queue
116 * make sure gdm doesn't use multi-user-x but the new default X configuration file, and then remove multi-user-x from systemd
118 * man: the documentation of Restart= currently is very misleading and suggests the tools from ExecStartPre= might get restarted.
120 * load .d/*.conf dropins for device units
122 * gparted needs to disable auto-activation of mount units somehow, or
123 maybe we should stop doing auto-activation of this after boot
124 entirely. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=701676
125 Maybe take a BSD lock at the disk device node and teach udev to
126 check for that and suppress event handling.
128 * something pulls in pcre as shared object dependency into our daemons such as hostnamed.
130 * allow implementation of InaccessibleDirectories=/ plus
131 ReadOnlyDirectories=... for whitelisting files for a service.
134 - when kdbus doesn't take our message without memfds, try again with memfds
135 - implement monitor logic
136 - see if we can drop more message validation on the sending side
137 - add API to clone sd_bus_message objects
138 - systemd-bus-proxyd needs to enforce good old XML policy
139 - upload minimal kdbus policy into the kernel at boot
140 - kdbus: matches against source or destination pids for an "strace -p"-like feel. Problem: The PID info needs to be available in userspace too...
141 - longer term: priority inheritance
142 - check sender of response messages
145 - NameLost/NameAcquired obsolete
147 - "const" properties (posted)
148 - port exit-on-idle logic to byebye ioctl
149 - update systemd.special(7) to mention that dbus.socket is only about the compatibility socket now
150 - allow updating attach flags during runtime
151 - pid1: peek into activating message when activating a service
152 - test bloom filter generation indexes
153 - introduce sd_bus_emit_object_added()/sd_bus_emit_object_removed() that automatically includes the build-in interfaces in the list
156 - allow multiple signal handlers per signal?
158 * in the final killing spree, detect processes from the root directory, and
159 complain loudly if they have argv[0][0] == '@' set.
160 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=961044
162 * investigate endianness issues of UUID vs. GUID
164 * dbus: when a unit failed to load (i.e. is in UNIT_ERROR state), we
165 should be able to safely try another attempt when the bus call LoadUnit() is invoked.
167 * add a pam module that passes the hdd passphrase into the PAM stack and then expires it, for usage by gdm auto-login.
169 * add a pam module that on password changes updates any LUKS slot where the password matches
171 * maybe add a generator that looks for "systemd.run=" on the kernel cmdline for container usercases...
173 * timedatctl, localectl: possibly make some commands work without the daemon, for chroot situations...
175 * timedatectl: print a nicer message when enabling ntp fails because ntpd/chrony are not installed
177 * cgtop: make cgtop useful in a container
180 - add 'set -e' to scripts in test/
181 - make stuff in test/ work with separate output dir
183 * systemctl delete x.snapshot leaves no trace in logs (at least at default level).
185 * make the coredump collector tool move itself into the user's cgroup
186 so that the coredump is properly written to the user's own journal
189 * seems that when we follow symlinks to units we prefer the symlink
190 destination path over /etc and /usr. We shouldn't do that. Instead
191 /etc should always override /run+/usr and also any symlink
194 * when isolating, try to figure out a way how we implicitly can order
195 all units we stop before the isolating unit...
197 * add ConditionArchitecture= or so
199 * teach ConditionKernelCommandLine= globs or regexes (in order to match foobar={no,0,off})
201 * after all byte-wise realloc() is slow, even on glibc, so i guess we
202 need manual exponential loops after all
204 * BootLoaderSpec: drop allowing ext234 for $BOOT. Clarify that the
205 kernel has to be in $BOOT. Clarify that the boot loader should be
206 installed to the ESP. Define a way how an installer can figure out
207 whether a BLS compliant boot loader is installed.
209 * think about requeuing jobs when daemon-reload is issued? usecase:
210 the initrd issues a reload after fstab from the host is accessible
211 and we might want to requeue the mounts local-fs acquired through
214 * systemd-inhibit: make taking delay locks useful: support sending SIGINT or SIGTERM on PrepareForSleep()
216 * journal-or-kmsg is currently broken? See reverted commit 4a01181e460686d8b4a543b1dfa7f77c9e3c5ab8.
218 * remove any syslog support from log.c -- we probably can't do this before split-off udev is gone for good
220 * shutdown logging: store to EFI var, and store to USB stick?
222 * write UI tool that pops up emergency messages from the journal as notification
224 * think about window-manager-run-as-user-service problem: exit 0 → activate shutdown.target; exit != 0 → restart service
226 * use "log level" rather than "log priority" everywhere
228 * timedate: have global on/off switches for auto-time (NTP), and auto-timezone that connman can subscribe to.
230 * dev-setup.c: when running in a container, create a tiny stub udev
231 database with the systemd tag set for all network interfaces found,
232 so that libudev reports them as present, and systemd's .device units
235 * merge unit_kill_common() and unit_kill_context()
237 * introduce ExecCondition= in services
240 - write man page for efi boot generator
241 - honor language efi variables for default language selection (if there are any?)
242 - honor timezone efi variables for default timezone selection (if there are any?)
243 - change bootctl to be backed by systemd-bootd to control temporary and persistent default boot goal plus efi variables
245 * maybe do not install getty@tty1.service symlink in /etc but in /usr?
247 * re-enable "make check" for gtk-doc (broken for unknown reason)
249 * fstab: add new mount option x-systemd-after=/foobar/waldo to allow manual dependencies to other mount points
250 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=812826
252 * print a nicer explanation if people use variable/specifier expansion in ExecStart= for the first word
254 * mount: turn dependency information from /proc/self/mountinfo into dependency information between systemd units.
257 - logind: optionally, ignore idle-hint logic for autosuspend, block suspend as long as a session is around
258 - When we update the kernel all kind of hibernation should be prohibited until shutdown/reboot
259 - logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
260 - Add pretty name for seats in logind
261 - logind: allow showing logout dialog from system?
262 - logind: add equivalent to sd_pid_get_owner_uid() to the D-Bus API
263 - we should probably handle SIGTERM/SIGINT to not leave dot files around, just in case
264 - when logging out, remove user-owned sysv and posix IPC objects
265 - session scopes/user unit: add RequiresMountsFor for the home directory of the user
266 - add Suspend() bus calls which take timestamps to fix double suspend issues when somebody hits suspend and closes laptop quickly.
267 - if pam_systemd is invoked by su from a process that is outside of a
268 any session we should probably just become a NOP, since that's
269 usually not a real user session but just some system code that just
272 * exec: when deinitializating a tty device fix the perms and group, too, not only when initializing. Set access mode/gid to 0620/tty.
274 * service: watchdog logic: for testing purposes allow ping, but do not require pong
277 - import and delete pstore filesystem content at startup
278 - journald: also get thread ID from client, plus thread name
279 - journal: when waiting for journal additions in the client always sleep at least 1s or so, in order to minimize wakeups
280 - add API to close/reopen/get fd for journal client fd in libsystemd-journal.
281 - fallback to /dev/log based logging in libsystemd-journal, if we can't log natively?
282 - declare the local journal protocol stable in the wiki interface chart
283 - journal: reuse XZ context
284 - sd-journal: speed up sd_journal_get_data() with transparent hash table in bg
285 - journald: when dropping msgs due to ratelimit make sure to write
286 "dropped %u messages" not only when we are about to print the next
287 message that works, but alraedy after a short tiemout
288 - check if we can make journalctl by default use --follow mode inside of less if called without args?
289 - maybe add API to send pairs of iovecs via sd_journal_send
290 - journal: when writing journal auto-rotate if time jumps backwards
291 - journal: add a setgid "systemd-journal" utility to invoke from libsystemd-journal, which passes fds via STDOUT and does PK access
292 - journactl: support negative filtering, i.e. FOOBAR!="waldo",
293 and !FOOBAR for events without FOOBAR.
294 - journal: send out marker messages every now and then, and immediately sync with fdatasync() afterwards, in order to have hourly guaranteed syncs.
295 - 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.
296 - journal: find a way to allow dropping history early, based on priority, other rules
297 - journal: When used on NFS, check payload hashes
298 - journald: check whether it is OK if the client can still modify delivered journal entries
299 - journal live copy, based on libneon (client) and libmicrohttpd (server)
300 - journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
301 - refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
302 - journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
303 - journal: deal nicely with byte-by-byte copied files, especially regards header
304 - journal: store euid in journal if it differs from uid
305 - journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the components would fit
306 - Replace utmp, wtmp, btmp, and lastlog completely with journal
307 - journalctl: instead --after-cursor= maybe have a --cursor=XYZ+1 syntax?
308 - tmpfiles: when applying ownership to /run/log/journal, also do this for the journal fails contained in it
309 - when a kernel driver logs in a tight loop, we should ratelimit that too.
310 - journald: optionally, log debug messages to /run but everything else to /var
311 - journald: when we drop syslog messages because the syslog socket is
312 full, make sure to write how many messages are lost as first thing
313 to syslog when it works again.
314 - journald: make sure ratelimit is actually really per-service with the new cgroup changes
315 - change systemd-journal-flush into a service that stays around during
316 boot, and causes the journal to be moved back to /run on shutdown,
317 so that we don't keep /var busy. This needs to happen synchronously,
318 hence doing this via signals is not going to work.
321 - document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fields in
322 [Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
323 - man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
324 - document the exit codes when services fail before they are exec()ed
325 - document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
326 - document in wiki how to map ical recurrence events to systemd timer unit calendar specifications
327 - add a man page containing packaging guidelines and recommending usage of things like Documentation=, PrivateTmp=, PrivateNetwork= and ReadOnlyDirectories=/etc /usr.
328 - document systemd-journal-flush.service properly
329 - man: remove .include documentation, and instead push people to use .d/*.conf
330 - documentation: recommend to connect the timer units of a service to the service via Also= in [Install]
331 - man: document the very specific env the shutdown drop-in tools live in
332 - man: extend runlevel(8) to mention that runlevels suck, and are dead. Maybe add runlevel(7) with a note about that too
333 - man: add more examples to man pages
334 - man: maybe sort directives in man pages, and take sections from --help and apply them to man too
337 - systemctl list-jobs - show dependencies
338 - add systemctl switch to dump transaction without executing it
339 - Add a verbose mode to "systemctl start" and friends that explains what is being done or not done
340 - "systemctl disable" on a static unit prints no message and does
341 nothing. "systemctl enable" does nothing, and gives a bad message
342 about it. Should fix both to print nice actionable messages.
343 - print nice message from systemctl --failed if there are no entries shown, and hook that into ExecStartPre of rescue.service/emergency.service
344 - add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
345 - systemctl enable: improve the success messages (i.e. more human readable, less shell-like)
346 - systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into doesn't exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
347 - systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
348 - support "systemctl stop foobar@.service" to stop all units matching a certain template
349 - Something is wrong with symlink handling of "autovt@.service" in "systemctl list-unit-files"
350 - rework wait filter to not require match callback
351 - better error message if you run systemctl without systemd running
352 - systemctl status output should should include list of triggering units and their status
353 - in systemctl list-timers show time triggering units ran last
356 - "systemctl mask" should find all names by which a unit is accessible
357 (i.e. by scanning for symlinks to it) and link them all to /dev/null
358 - "systemctl disable" of a unit instance removes all symlinks, but should
359 only remove the instance symlink (systemctl disable of a template
360 unit however should remove them all).
361 - systemctl list-unit-files should list generated files (and probably with a new state "generated" for them, or so)
362 - systemctl: maybe add "systemctl add-wants" or so...
364 * introduce ntp.service (or suchlike) as symlink that is used to arbitrate between various NTP implementations
366 * deal with sendmail/postfix exclusivity
369 - timer events with system resume
370 - timer units should get the ability to trigger when:
371 o CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (TFD_TIMER_CANCEL_ON_SET)
373 - Support 2012-02~4 as syntax for specifying the fourth to last day of the month.
374 - calendarspec: support value ranges with ".." notation. Example: 2013-4..8-1
375 - when parsing calendar timestamps support the UTC timezone (even if we won't support arbitrary timezone specs, support UTC itself certainly makes sense), also support syntaxes such as +0200
376 - Modulate timer frequency based on battery state
377 - anacron-like feature
379 * update the kernel's TZ (sys_tz) when DST changes
381 * sync down the system time to the RTC when:
382 - CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (the user explicitely requested a time set)
383 - DST/timezone changes && ntp is active && RTC-in-localtime (never do it without ntp)
384 This takes care of syncing ntpdate updates to the RTC, and DST updates for localtime
385 mode, it will never touch the RTC if the no reliable time source is active or the
386 user did not request anything like it.
388 * if booted in "quiet" mode, and an error happens, turn on status
389 output again, so that the emergency mode isn't totally
390 surprising. Also, terminate plymouth.
392 * libunwind support for coredump pattern hook, and includes this in
393 the message for coredumps. After all, libunwind is now capable to
394 unwind coredumps since a few weeks ago. This probably requires that
395 we have nice support for multi-line messages on display in
396 logs-show.c. Alternatively: use libelfutil, which seems to be the
397 better supported alternative.
399 * add libsystemd-password or so to query passwords during boot using the password agent logic
401 * 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().
403 * fedup: add --unit to systemctl switch-root somehow
404 * fedup: don't delete initrd on switch-root
407 * timedated: refuse time changes when NTP is on
409 * clean up date formatting and parsing so that all absolute/relative timestamps we format can also be parsed
411 * on shutdown: move utmp, wall, audit logic all into PID 1 (or logind?), get rid of systemd-update-utmp-runlevel
413 * add "provisioning" instructions to setup an empty /etc + /var
414 - used to setup a new container from a shared /usr
415 - superset of tmpfiles model
416 - instructions shipped by packages and stored in /usr/lib/
417 - compose /etc/passwd and /etc/group, copy files
418 - able to create uid + gid used by packages, for file ownership
420 * make repeated alt-ctrl-del presses printing a dump, or even force a reboot without
421 waiting for the timeout
423 * hostnamed: before returning information from /etc/machine-info.conf check the modification data and reread. Similar for localed, ...
425 * currently x-systemd.timeout is lost in the initrd, since crypttab is copied into dracut, but fstab isn't
428 - nspawn: consider changing users for -u with /usr/bin/getent, so that NSS resolving works correctly
429 - nspawn: implement personality changes a la linux32(8)
430 - nspawn: --read-only is not applied recursively to submounts
431 - nspawn: make use of device cgroup controller by default
432 - bind mount read-only the cgroup tree higher than nspawn
433 - nspawn: investigate whether we can support the same as LXC's
434 lxc.network.type=phys mode, and pass through entire network
435 interfaces to the container
436 - nspawn: make it work for dwalsh and shared /usr containers -- tmpfs mounts as command line parameters, selinux exec context
437 - refuses to boot containers without /etc/machine-id (OK?), and with empty /etc/machine-id (not OK).
438 - support taking a btrfs snapshot at startup and dropping it afterwards
441 - cryptsetup-generator: allow specification of passwords in crypttab itself
442 - move cryptsetup key caching into kernel keyctl?
443 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54982
444 - support rd.luks.allow-discards= kernel cmdline params in cryptsetup generator
446 * hw watchdog: optionally try to use the preset watchdog timeout instead of always overriding it
447 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54712
449 * after deserializing sockets in socket.c we should reapply sockopts and things
451 * make timer units go away after they elapsed
453 * http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2012-September/006502.html
454 (network and remote-fs on shutdown)
456 * come up with a nice way to write queue/read_ahead_kb for a block device without interfering with readahead
458 * move PID 1 segfaults to /var/lib/systemd/coredump?
460 * create /sbin/init symlinks from the build system
462 * Query Paul Moore about relabelling socket fds while they are open
464 * allow writing multiple conditions in unit files on one line
466 * explore multiple service instances per listening socket idea
468 * MountFlags=shared acts as MountFlags=slave right now.
470 * ReadOnlyDirectories= is not applied recursively to submounts
472 * drop PID 1 reloading, only do reexecing (difficult: Reload()
473 currently is properly synchronous, Reexec() is weird, because we
474 can't delay the response properly until we are back, so instead of
475 being properly synchronous we just keep open the fd and close it
476 when done. That means clients don't get a successful method reply,
477 but much rather a disconnect on success.
479 * properly handle loop back mounts via fstab, especially regards to fsck/passno
481 * allow services with no ExecStart= but with an ExecStop=
483 * dracut-shutdown needs to be ordered before unmounting /boot
485 * initialize the hostname from the fs label of /, if /etc/hostname does not exist?
487 * rename "userspace" to "core-os"
490 - syscall filter: add knowledge about compat syscalls
491 - syscall filter: don't enforce no new privs?
492 - syscall filter: option to return EPERM rather than SIGSYS?
493 - system-wide seccomp filter
495 * load-fragment: when loading a unit file via a chain of symlinks
496 verify that it isn't masked via any of the names traversed.
498 * introduce Type=pid-file
500 * change Requires=basic.target to RequisiteOverride=basic.target
502 * when breaking cycles drop sysv services first, then services from /run, then from /etc, then from /usr
504 * automount: implement expire:
505 - set superblock timeout AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_TIMEOUT_CMD
506 - periodically run AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_EXPIRE_CMD
507 - every timeout/4 (original autofs logic)
508 - blocking, needs a thread
510 - receive expire packet on pipe if kernel tells the timeout is over
512 - answer expire packet on pipe with AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_{READY,FAIL}_CMD
513 - AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_EXPIRE_CMD returns
515 * ExecOnFailure=/usr/bin/foo
518 - remove src/udev/udev-builtin-firmware.c (CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER=n)
521 - add trigger --subsystem-match=usb/usb_device device
523 * 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
525 * introduce mix of BindTo and Requisite
527 * add DeleteSocketsOnStop=yes|no option to socket units
529 * There's currently no way to cancel fsck (used to be possible via C-c or c on the console)
531 * add option to sockets to avoid activation. Instead just drop packets/connections, see http://cyberelk.net/tim/2012/02/15/portreserve-systemd-solution/
533 * default unix qlen is too small (10). bump sysctl? add sockopt?
535 * save coredump in Windows/Mozilla minidump format
537 * support crash reporting operation modes (https://live.gnome.org/GnomeOS/Design/Whiteboards/ProblemReporting)
539 * default to actual 32bit PIDs, via /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max
541 * be able to specify a forced restart of service A where service B depends on, in case B
542 needs to be auto-respawned?
544 * when a bus name of a service disappears from the bus make sure to queue further activation requests
547 - check systemd-tmpfiles for selinux context hookup for mknod(), symlink() and similar
548 - apply "x" on "D" too (see patch from William Douglas)
550 * for services: don't set $HOME in services unless requested
552 * hide PAM/TCPWrap options in fragment parser when compile time disabled
554 * when we automatically restart a service, ensure we restart its rdeps, too.
556 * allow Type=simple with PIDFile=
557 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=723942
559 * move PAM code into its own binary
561 * implement Register= switch in .socket units to enable registration
562 in Avahi, RPC and other socket registration services.
564 * make sure systemd-ask-password-wall does not shutdown systemd-ask-password-console too early
566 * support sd_notify() style notification when reload begins (RELOADING=1), reload is finished (READY=1), and add ReloadSignal= then to use in combination
568 * support sd_notify() style notification when shutting down, to make auto-exit bus services work (STOPPING=1)
570 * verify that the AF_UNIX sockets of a service in the fs still exist
571 when we start a service in order to avoid confusion when a user
572 assumes starting a service is enough to make it accessible
574 * support User= and Group= attributes for AF_UNIX sockets. (difficult, requires NSS from PID 1?)
576 * Make it possible to set the keymap independently from the font on
577 the kernel cmdline. Right now setting one resets also the other.
579 * and a dbus call to generate target from current state
582 - drop /.readahead on bigger upgrades with yum
583 - move readahead files into /var (look for them with .path units?)
584 - readahead: use BTRFS_IOC_DEFRAG_RANGE instead of BTRFS_IOC_DEFRAG ioctl, with START_IO
585 - readahead: when bumping /sys readahead variable save mtime and compare later to detect changes
586 - readahead: make use of EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT, as used by http://e4rat.sourceforge.net/
588 * add support for /bin/mount -s
590 * GC unreferenced jobs (such as .device jobs)
592 * write blog stories about:
593 - hwdb: what belongs into it, lsusb
594 - enabling dbus services
596 - how to make changes to sysctl and sysfs attributes
598 - how to pass throw-away units to systemd, or dynamically change properties of existing units
599 - how to integrate cgconfig and suchlike with systemd
600 - testing with Harald's awesome test kit
602 - how to develop against journal browsing APIs
603 - the journal HTTP iface
604 - non-cgroup resource management
605 - dynamic resource management with cgroups
606 - refreshed, longer missions statement
607 - calendar time events
608 - init=/bin/sh vs. "emergency" mode, vs. "rescue" mode, vs. "multi-user" mode, vs. "graphical" mode, and the debug shell
609 - how to create your own target
610 - instantiated apache, dovecot and so on
611 - hooking a script into various stages of shutdown/rearly booot
613 * allow port=0 in .socket units
615 * support systemd.mask= on the kernel command line.
617 * recreate systemd's D-Bus private socket file on SIGUSR2
619 * Support --test based on current system state
621 * investigate whether the gnome pty helper should be moved into systemd, to provide cgroup support.
623 * maybe introduce ExecRestartPre=
625 * dot output for --test showing the 'initial transaction'
627 * fingerprint.target, wireless.target, gps.target, netdevice.target
629 * io priority during initialization
631 * drop cap bounding set in readahead and other services
634 - figure out a simple way to wait for journal events in a way that
636 - add documentation to systemd.daemon
639 - plot per-process IO utilization
640 - group processes based on service association (cgroups)
641 - document initcall_debug
642 - kernel cmdline "bootchart" option for simplicity?
645 - Make sure ID_PATH is always exported and complete for
646 network devices where possible, so we can safely rely
648 - Check if Driver= is broken, or just my driver (bcma)
651 - add support for exiting containers without reading them fully first
652 - add support for more attribute types
655 - add more keys to [Route] and [Address] sections
656 - add support for more DHCPv4 options (and, longer term, other kinds of dynamic config)
657 - allow opting out of receiving DNS servers over DHCPv4
658 - add proper initrd support (in particular generate .network/.link files based on /proc/cmdline)
663 - natively watch for dbus-*.service symlinks (PENDING)
664 - teach dbus to activate all services it finds in /etc/systemd/services/org-*.service
666 * fix alsa mixer restore to not print error when no config is stored
668 * make cryptsetup lower --iter-time
670 * patch kernel for xattr support in /dev, /proc/, /sys?
672 * NTP: the kernel's 11-minutes-mode syncs the system time to the RTC, but only
673 in an ~30 minutes window. It does not adjust larger differences. Find a way
674 to tell the kernel, to always do a full time sync when the RTC is in UTC and
675 we are in 11-minutes-mode. When we trust the system time to NTP we also want
678 * kernel: add device_type = "fb", "fbcon" to class "graphics"
680 * drop accountsservice's StandardOutput=syslog and Type=dbus fields
682 * dbus upstream still refers to dbus.target and shouldn't
684 * dbus: in fedora, make /var/lib/dbus/machine-id a symlink to /etc/machine-id
686 * add "# export SYSTEMD_PAGER=" to bash login
688 * /usr/bin/service should actually show the new command line
690 * 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=
692 * fedora: F20: go timer units all the way, leave cron.daily for cron
694 * neither pkexec nor sudo initialize environ[] from the PAM environment?
696 * fedora: update policy to declare access mode and ownership of unit files to root:root 0644, and add an rpmlint check for it
700 * look for close() vs. close_nointr() vs. close_nointr_nofail()
702 * check for strerror(r) instead of strerror(-r)
704 * Use PR_SET_PROCTITLE_AREA if it becomes available in the kernel
708 * set_put(), hashmap_put() return values check. i.e. == 0 doesn't free()!
710 * use secure_getenv() instead of getenv() where appropriate
712 * link up selected blog stories from man pages and unit files Documentation= fields
714 Scheduled for removal or fixing:
716 * xxxOverridable dependencies (probably: fix)
