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 * ExecStart with unicode characters fails in strv_split_quoted:
12 Environment=ONE='one' "TWO='two two' too" THREE=
13 ExecStart=/bin/python3 -c 'import sys;print(sys.argv)' $ONE $TWO $THREE
15 * MEMORY return code is overloaded for syntax errors in the command line.
16 str_split_quoted() should return a real return code, so spawn_child can
17 report the failure properly.
21 * Fedora: add an rpmlint check that verifies that all unit files in the RPM are listed in %systemd_post macros.
23 * Fedora: move kernel image to /usr/lib/modules/, kernel-install will take care of populating /boot
25 * Fedora: remove /etc/resolv.conf tmpfiles hack
27 * wiki: update journal format documentation for lz4 additions
29 * When lz4 gets an API for lz4 command output, make use of it to
30 compress coredumps in a way compatible with /usr/bin/lz4.
32 Release 219 preparations:
34 * dkr import hash verification
36 * rework journald sigbus stuff to use mutex
38 * create importd daemon, move "systemd-import" tool into machinectl
42 * import: support import from local files, and export to local files
44 * 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
46 * bus-proxy: reload policy when PID 1 reports a reload
48 * the dbus1 connection user id is actually the euid, not the uid, and creds should return that
50 * introduce systemd-nspawn-ephemeral@.service, and hook it into "machinectl start" with a new --ephemeral switch
52 * logind,machined: add generic catch-all polkit verbs for most priviliged operations, similar to systemd itself
54 * "machinectl status" should also show internal logs of the container in question
56 * nspawn: don't change superblock mount options from nspawn for cgroup hierarchies
58 * "machinectl list-images" should show os-release data, as well as machine-info data (including deployment level)
60 * 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
62 * Port various tools to make use of verbs.[ch], where applicable
64 * Check all invocations of access() and consider turning them into laccess()
66 * "machinectl history"
70 * "machinectl commit" that takes a writable snapshot of a tree, invokes a shell in it, and marks it read-only after use
72 * "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
74 * 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
76 * systemd-nspawn -x should support ephemeral instances of gpt images
78 * move machinectl's mount and copy commands into machined
80 * hostnamectl: show root image uuid
82 * sysfs set api in libudev is not const
84 * Find a solution for SMACK capabilities stuff:
85 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-December/026188.html
87 * port libmount hookup to use API's own inotify interface, as soon as that is table in libmount
89 * "systemctl preset-all" should probably order the unit files it
90 operates on lexicographically before starting to work, in order to
91 ensure deterministic behaviour if two unit files conflict (like DMs
94 * resolved should optionally register additional per-interface LLMNR
95 names, so that for the container case we can establish the same name
96 (maybe "host") for referencing the server, everywhere.
98 * systemd-journal-upload (or a new, related tool): allow pushing out
99 journal messages onto the network in BSD syslog protocol,
100 continuously. Default to some link-local IP mcast group, to make this
101 useful as a one-stop debugging tool.
103 * synchronize console access with BSD locks:
104 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-October/024582.html
106 * as soon as we have kdbus, and sender timestamps, revisit coalescing multiple parallel daemon reloads:
107 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-December/025862.html
109 * set $REMOTE_IP (or $REMOTE_ADDR/$REMOTE_PORT) environment variable when doing per-connection socket activation. use format introduced by xinetd or CGI for this
111 * the install state probably shouldn't get confused by generated units, think dbus1/kdbus compat!
113 * in systemctl list-unit-files: show the install value the presets would suggest for a service in a third column
115 * we should try harder to collapse start jobs for swaps that end up being the same:
116 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-November/025359.html
118 * timedated should compensate on SetTime for the time spent in polkit
120 * figure out when we can use the coarse timers
122 * sd-resolve: drop res_query wrapping, people should call via the bus to resolved instead
124 * add "systemctl start -v foobar.service" that shows logs of a service
125 while the start command runs. This is non-trivial to do without
126 races though, since we should flush out all journal messages before
127 returning from the "systemctl stop".
129 * 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
131 * timesyncd + resolved: add ugly bus calls to set NTP and DNS servers per-interface, for usage by NM
133 * networkd-wait-online really should have a timeout by default
135 * 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
137 * machined: add an API so that libvirt-lxc can inform us about network interfaces being removed or added to an existing machine
139 * maybe add support for specifier expansion in user.conf, specifically DefaultEnvironment=
141 * code cleanup: retire FOREACH_WORD_QUOTED, port to unquote_first_word() loops instead
143 * introduce systemd-timesync-wait.service or so to sync on an NTP fix?
145 * systemd --user should issue sd_notify() upon reaching basic.target, not on becoming idle
147 * consider showing the unit names during boot up in the status output, not just the unit descriptions
149 * dhcp: do we allow configuring dhcp routes on interfaces that are not the one we got the dhcp info from?
151 * maybe allow timer units with an empty Units= setting, so that they
152 can be used for resuming the system but nothing else.
154 * what to do about udev db binary stability for apps? (raw access is not an option)
156 * maybe provide an API to allow migration of foreign PIDs into existing scopes.
158 * maybe support a new very "soft" reboot mode, that simply kills all processes, disassembles everything, flushes /run and sysvipc, and then reexecs systemd again
160 * man: document that corrupted journal files is nothing to act on
162 * man: maybe use the word "inspect" rather than "introspect"?
164 * "machinectl list" should probably show columns for OS version and IP addresses
166 * systemctl: if some operation fails, show log output?
169 - allow creation of units from scratch
170 - use equvalent of cat() to insert existing config as a comment, prepended with #.
171 Upon editor exit, lines with one # are removed, lines with two # are left with one #, etc.
173 * refcounting in sd-resolve is borked
175 * exponential backoff in timesyncd and resolved when we cannot reach a server
177 * tmpfiles: port to unquote_many_words(), similar to sysusers
179 * unquote_many_words() should probably be used by a lot of code that
180 currently uses FOREACH_WORD and friends. For example, most conf
181 parsing callbacks should use it.
183 * merge ~/.local/share and ~/.local/lib into one similar /usr/lib and /usr/share....
185 * systemd.show_status= should probably have a mode where only failed
189 - add LLDP client side support
190 - the DHCP lease data (such as NTP/DNS) is still made available when
191 a carrier is lost on a link. It should be removed instantly.
192 - .network setting that allows overriding of the hostname to send to the dhcp server
193 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-July/021550.html
194 - expose in the API the following bits:
195 - option 15, domain name and/or option 119, search list
196 - option 12, host name and/or option 81, fqdn
197 - option 100, 101, timezone
198 - option 123, 144, geolocation
199 - option 252, configure http proxy (PAC/wpad)
200 - networkd's dhcp server should transparently pass on the DNS and
201 NTP server list it got from user configuration and its dhcp client
202 to clients. It should also pass on its own timezone information.
203 - provide a way to define a per-network interface default metric value
204 for all routes to it. possibly a second default for DHCP routes.
205 - allow Name= to be specified repeatedly in the [Match] section. Maybe also
206 support Name=foo*|bar*|baz ?
209 - put networkd events and rtnl events at a higher priority, so that
210 we always process them before we process client requests
212 - use base64 for key presentation?
213 - add display of private key types (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4034#appendix-A.1.1)?
214 - add nice formatting of DNS timestamps
219 - DNS-SD service registration from socket units
223 - maybe randomize DNS UDP source ports
224 - maybe compare query section of DNS replies
226 * Allow multiple ExecStart= for all Type= settings, so that we can cover rescue.service nicely
228 * Add a new verb "systemctl top"
230 * add new gpt type for btrfs volumes
232 * support empty /etc boots nicely:
233 - nspawn/gpt-generator: introduce new gpt partition type for /usr
234 - fstab-generator: support systemd.volatile=yes|no|state on the kernel cmdline, too, similar to nspawn's --volatile=
236 * generator that automatically discovers btrfs subvolumes, identifies their purpose based on some xattr on them.
238 * timer units: actually add extra delays to timer units with high AccuracySec values, don't start them already when we are awake...
240 * a way for container managers to turn off getty starting via $container_headless= or so...
242 * figure out a nice way how we can let the admin know what child/sibling unit causes cgroup membership for a specific unit
244 * mount_cgroup_controllers(): symlinks need to get the label applied
246 * For timer units: add some mechanisms so that timer units that trigger immediately on boot do not have the services
247 they run added to the initial transaction and thus confuse Type=idle.
249 * 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)
251 * sd-event: generate a failure of a default event loop is executed out-of-thread
253 * add bus api to query unit file's X fields.
255 * consider adding RuntimeDirectoryUser= + RuntimeDirectoryGroup=
257 * sd-event: define more intervals where we will shift wakeup intervals around in, 1h, 6h, 24h, ...
259 * gpt-auto-generator:
260 - Support LUKS for root devices
261 - Define new partition type for encrypted swap? Support probed LUKS for encrypted swap?
262 - Make /home automount rather than mount?
264 * add generator that pulls in systemd-network from containers when
265 CAP_NET_ADMIN is set, more than the loopback device is defined, even
266 when it is otherwise off
268 * MessageQueueMessageSize= and RLimitFSIZE= (and suchlike) should use parse_iec_size().
270 * "busctl status" works only as root on dbus1, since we cannot read
273 * implement Distribute= in socket units to allow running multiple
274 service instances processing the listening socket, and open this up
277 * socket units: support creating sockets in different namespace,
278 opening it up for JoinsNamespaceOf=. This would require to fork off
279 a tiny process that joins the namespace and creates/binds the socket
280 and passes this back to PID1 via SCM_RIGHTS. This also could be used
281 to allow Chown/chgrp on sockets without requiring NSS in PID 1.
283 * New service property: maximum CPU and wallclock runtime for a service
285 * introduce bus call FreezeUnit(s, b), as well as "systemctl freeze
286 $UNIT" and "systemctl thaw $UNIT" as wrappers around this. The calls
287 should SIGSTOP all unit processes in a loop until all processes of
288 it are fully stopped. This can later be used for app management by
289 desktop UIs such as gnome-shell to freeze apps that are not visible
290 on screen, not unlike how job control works on the shell
293 - implement per-slice CPUFairScheduling=1 switch
294 - handle jointly mounted controllers correctly
295 - introduce high-level settings for RT budget, swappiness
296 - how to reset dynamically changed unit cgroup attributes sanely?
297 - when reloading configuration, apply new cgroup configuration
298 - when recursively showing the cgroup hierarchy, optionally also show
299 the hierarchies of child processes
302 - allow creating auxiliary units with the same call
303 - add field to transient units that indicate whether systemd or somebody else saves/restores its settings, for integration with libvirt
304 - ensure scope units may be started only a single time
306 * Automatically configure swap partition to use for hibernation by looking for largest swap partition on the root disk?
308 * when we detect low battery and no AC on boot, show pretty splash and refuse boot
310 * machined, localed: when we try to kill an empty cgroup, generate an ESRCH error over the bus
312 * libsystemd-journal, libsystemd-login, libudev: add calls to easily attach these objects to sd-event event loops
314 * be more careful what we export on the bus as (usec_t) 0 and (usec_t) -1
316 * unify dispatch table in systemctl_main() and friends
318 * 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
320 * After coming back from hibernation reset hibernation swap partition using the /dev/snapshot ioctl APIs
322 * If we try to find a unit via a dangling symlink, generate a clean
323 error. Currently, we just ignore it and read the unit from the search
326 * refuse boot if /etc/os-release is missing or /etc/machine-id cannot be set up
328 * btrfs raid assembly: some .device jobs stay stuck in the queue
330 * make sure gdm does not use multi-user-x but the new default X configuration file, and then remove multi-user-x from systemd
332 * man: the documentation of Restart= currently is very misleading and suggests the tools from ExecStartPre= might get restarted.
334 * load .d/*.conf dropins for device units
336 * allow implementation of InaccessibleDirectories=/ plus
337 ReadOnlyDirectories=... for whitelisting files for a service.
340 - GetAllProperties() on a non-existing object does not result in a failure currently
341 - kdbus: process fd=-1 for incoming msgs
342 - make dsrt happy, and change userspace header for kdbus to yyyyuta{tv}v
343 - port to sd-resolve for connecting to TCP dbus servers
344 - kdbus: maybe add controlling tty metadata fields
345 - 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
346 - when kdbus does not take our message without memfds, try again with memfds
347 - see if we can drop more message validation on the sending side
348 - add API to clone sd_bus_message objects
349 - make AddMatch calls on dbus1 transports async?
350 - kdbus: matches against source or destination pids for an "strace -p"-like feel. Problem: The PID info needs to be available in userspace too...
351 - longer term: priority inheritance
354 - NameLost/NameAcquired obsolete
357 - update systemd.special(7) to mention that dbus.socket is only about the compatibility socket now
358 - test bloom filter generation indexes
359 - bus-proxy: when passing messages from kdbus, make sure we properly
360 handle the case where a large number of fds is appended that we
361 cannot pass into sendmsg() of the AF_UNIX sokcet (which only accepts
363 - kdbus: introduce a concept of "send-only" connections
364 - kdbus: add counter for refused unicast messages that is passed out via the RECV ioctl. SImilar to the counter for dropped multicast messages we already have.
367 - allow multiple signal handlers per signal?
368 - document chaining of signal handler for SIGCHLD and child handlers
370 * in the final killing spree, detect processes from the root directory, and
371 complain loudly if they have argv[0][0] == '@' set.
372 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=961044
374 * investigate endianness issues of UUID vs. GUID
376 * dbus: when a unit failed to load (i.e. is in UNIT_ERROR state), we
377 should be able to safely try another attempt when the bus call LoadUnit() is invoked.
379 * add a pam module that passes the hdd passphrase into the PAM stack and then expires it, for usage by gdm auto-login.
381 * add a pam module that on password changes updates any LUKS slot where the password matches
383 * maybe add a generator that looks for "systemd.run=" on the kernel cmdline for container usercases...
385 * cgtop: make cgtop useful in a container
388 - add 'set -e' to scripts in test/
389 - make stuff in test/ work with separate output dir
391 * seems that when we follow symlinks to units we prefer the symlink
392 destination path over /etc and /usr. We should not do that. Instead
393 /etc should always override /run+/usr and also any symlink
396 * when isolating, try to figure out a way how we implicitly can order
397 all units we stop before the isolating unit...
399 * teach ConditionKernelCommandLine= globs or regexes (in order to match foobar={no,0,off})
401 * BootLoaderSpec: Clarify that the kernel has to be in $BOOT. Clarify
402 that the boot loader should be installed to the ESP. Define a way
403 how an installer can figure out whether a BLS compliant boot loader
406 * think about requeuing jobs when daemon-reload is issued? usecase:
407 the initrd issues a reload after fstab from the host is accessible
408 and we might want to requeue the mounts local-fs acquired through
411 * systemd-inhibit: make taking delay locks useful: support sending SIGINT or SIGTERM on PrepareForSleep()
413 * journal-or-kmsg is currently broken? See reverted commit 4a01181e460686d8b4a543b1dfa7f77c9e3c5ab8.
415 * remove any syslog support from log.c -- we probably cannot do this before split-off udev is gone for good
417 * shutdown logging: store to EFI var, and store to USB stick?
419 * write UI tool that pops up emergency messages from the journal as notification
421 * think about window-manager-run-as-user-service problem: exit 0 → activate shutdown.target; exit != 0 → restart service
423 * merge unit_kill_common() and unit_kill_context()
425 * introduce ExecCondition= in services
428 - honor language efi variables for default language selection (if there are any?)
429 - honor timezone efi variables for default timezone selection (if there are any?)
430 - change bootctl to be backed by systemd-bootd to control temporary and persistent default boot goal plus efi variables
432 * maybe do not install getty@tty1.service symlink in /etc but in /usr?
434 * re-enable "make check" for gtk-doc (broken for unknown reason)
436 * fstab: add new mount option x-systemd-after=/foobar/waldo to allow manual dependencies to other mount points
437 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=812826
439 * print a nicer explanation if people use variable/specifier expansion in ExecStart= for the first word
441 * mount: turn dependency information from /proc/self/mountinfo into dependency information between systemd units.
444 - logind: optionally, ignore idle-hint logic for autosuspend, block suspend as long as a session is around
445 - When we update the kernel all kind of hibernation should be prohibited until shutdown/reboot
446 - logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
447 - Add pretty name for seats in logind
448 - logind: allow showing logout dialog from system?
449 - we should probably handle SIGTERM/SIGINT to not leave dot files around, just in case
450 - session scopes/user unit: add RequiresMountsFor for the home directory of the user
451 - add Suspend() bus calls which take timestamps to fix double suspend issues when somebody hits suspend and closes laptop quickly.
452 - if pam_systemd is invoked by su from a process that is outside of a
453 any session we should probably just become a NOP, since that's
454 usually not a real user session but just some system code that just
456 - logind: make the Suspend()/Hibernate() bus calls wait for the for
457 the job to be completed. before returning, so that clients can wait
458 for "systemctl suspend" to finish to know when the suspending is
460 - logind: when the power button is pressed short, just popup a
461 logout dialog. If it is pressed for 1s, do the usual
462 shutdown. Inspiration are Macs here.
463 - logind: allow users to kill or lock their own sessions
464 - expose "Locked" property on logind sesison objects
465 - given that logind now lets PID 1 do all nasty work, we can
466 probably reduce the capability set it retains substantially.
467 (we need CAP_SYS_ADMIN for drmSetMaster(), so maybe not worth it)
468 - expose orientation sensors and tablet mode through logind
470 * exec: when deinitializating a tty device fix the perms and group, too, not only when initializing. Set access mode/gid to 0620/tty.
472 * service: watchdog logic: for testing purposes allow ping, but do not require pong
475 - consider introducing implicit _TTY= + _PPID= + _EUID= + _EGID= + _FSUID= + _FSGID= fields
476 - import and delete pstore filesystem content at startup
477 - journald: also get thread ID from client, plus thread name
478 - journal: when waiting for journal additions in the client always sleep at least 1s or so, in order to minimize wakeups
479 - add API to close/reopen/get fd for journal client fd in libsystemd-journal.
480 - fallback to /dev/log based logging in libsystemd-journal, if we cannot log natively?
481 - declare the local journal protocol stable in the wiki interface chart
482 - journal: reuse XZ context
483 - sd-journal: speed up sd_journal_get_data() with transparent hash table in bg
484 - journald: when dropping msgs due to ratelimit make sure to write
485 "dropped %u messages" not only when we are about to print the next
486 message that works, but alraedy after a short tiemout
487 - check if we can make journalctl by default use --follow mode inside of less if called without args?
488 - maybe add API to send pairs of iovecs via sd_journal_send
489 - journal: when writing journal auto-rotate if time jumps backwards
490 - journal: add a setgid "systemd-journal" utility to invoke from libsystemd-journal, which passes fds via STDOUT and does PK access
491 - journactl: support negative filtering, i.e. FOOBAR!="waldo",
492 and !FOOBAR for events without FOOBAR.
493 - journal: store timestamp of journal_file_set_offline() int he header,
494 so it is possible to display when the file was last synced.
495 - 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.
496 - journal: find a way to allow dropping history early, based on priority, other rules
497 - journal: When used on NFS, check payload hashes
498 - journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
499 - refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
500 - journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
501 - journal: deal nicely with byte-by-byte copied files, especially regards header
502 - journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the components would fit
503 - Replace utmp, wtmp, btmp, and lastlog completely with journal
504 - journalctl: instead --after-cursor= maybe have a --cursor=XYZ+1 syntax?
505 - when a kernel driver logs in a tight loop, we should ratelimit that too.
506 - journald: optionally, log debug messages to /run but everything else to /var
507 - journald: when we drop syslog messages because the syslog socket is
508 full, make sure to write how many messages are lost as first thing
509 to syslog when it works again.
510 - journald: make sure ratelimit is actually really per-service with the new cgroup changes
511 - change systemd-journal-flush into a service that stays around during
512 boot, and causes the journal to be moved back to /run on shutdown,
513 so that we do not keep /var busy. This needs to happen synchronously,
514 hence doing this via signals is not going to work.
515 - optionally support running journald from the command line for testing purposes in external projects
516 - journald: allow per-priority and per-service retention times when rotating/vacuuming
517 - journald: make use of uid-range.h to managed uid ranges to split
519 - journalctl: add the ability to look for the most recent process of a binary. journalctl /usr/bin/X11 --pid=-1 or so...
520 - improve journalctl performance by loading journal files
521 lazily. Encode just enough information in the file name, so that we
522 do not have to open it to know that it is not interesting for us, for
523 the most common operations.
526 - document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fields in
527 [Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
528 - man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
529 - document the exit codes when services fail before they are exec()ed
530 - document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
531 - document in wiki how to map ical recurrence events to systemd timer unit calendar specifications
532 - add a man page containing packaging guidelines and recommending usage of things like Documentation=, PrivateTmp=, PrivateNetwork= and ReadOnlyDirectories=/etc /usr.
533 - document systemd-journal-flush.service properly
534 - documentation: recommend to connect the timer units of a service to the service via Also= in [Install]
535 - man: document the very specific env the shutdown drop-in tools live in
536 - man: extend runlevel(8) to mention that runlevels suck, and are dead. Maybe add runlevel(7) with a note about that too
537 - man: add more examples to man pages
538 - man: maybe sort directives in man pages, and take sections from --help and apply them to man too
541 - systemctl list-jobs - show dependencies
542 - add systemctl switch to dump transaction without executing it
543 - Add a verbose mode to "systemctl start" and friends that explains what is being done or not done
544 - "systemctl disable" on a static unit prints no message and does
545 nothing. "systemctl enable" does nothing, and gives a bad message
546 about it. Should fix both to print nice actionable messages.
547 - print nice message from systemctl --failed if there are no entries shown, and hook that into ExecStartPre of rescue.service/emergency.service
548 - add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
549 - systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into does not exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
550 - systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
551 - support "systemctl stop foobar@.service" to stop all units matching a certain template
552 - Something is wrong with symlink handling of "autovt@.service" in "systemctl list-unit-files"
553 - better error message if you run systemctl without systemd running
554 - systemctl status output should should include list of triggering units and their status
557 - "systemctl mask" should find all names by which a unit is accessible
558 (i.e. by scanning for symlinks to it) and link them all to /dev/null
559 - systemctl list-unit-files should list generated files (and probably with a new state "generated" for them, or so)
562 - timer units should get the ability to trigger when:
563 o CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (TFD_TIMER_CANCEL_ON_SET)
565 - Support 2012-02~4 as syntax for specifying the fourth to last day of the month.
566 - calendarspec: support value ranges with ".." notation. Example: 2013-4..8-1
567 - 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
568 - Modulate timer frequency based on battery state
570 * add libsystemd-password or so to query passwords during boot using the password agent logic
572 * 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().
574 * fedup: add --unit to systemctl switch-root somehow
575 * fedup: do not delete initrd on switch-root
578 * clean up date formatting and parsing so that all absolute/relative timestamps we format can also be parsed
580 * on shutdown: move utmp, wall, audit logic all into PID 1 (or logind?), get rid of systemd-update-utmp-runlevel
582 * make repeated alt-ctrl-del presses printing a dump, or even force a reboot without
583 waiting for the timeout
585 * hostnamed: before returning information from /etc/machine-info.conf check the modification data and reread. Similar for localed, ...
587 * currently x-systemd.timeout is lost in the initrd, since crypttab is copied into dracut, but fstab is not
590 - refuses to boot containers without /etc/machine-id (OK?), and with empty /etc/machine-id (not OK).
593 - cryptsetup-generator: allow specification of passwords in crypttab itself
594 - move cryptsetup key caching into kernel keyctl?
595 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54982
596 - support rd.luks.allow-discards= kernel cmdline params in cryptsetup generator
598 * hw watchdog: optionally try to use the preset watchdog timeout instead of always overriding it
599 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54712
601 * after deserializing sockets in socket.c we should reapply sockopts and things
603 * make timer units go away after they elapsed
605 * move PID 1 segfaults to /var/lib/systemd/coredump?
607 * create /sbin/init symlinks from the build system
609 * allow writing multiple conditions in unit files on one line
611 * MountFlags=shared acts as MountFlags=slave right now.
613 * drop PID 1 reloading, only do reexecing (difficult: Reload()
614 currently is properly synchronous, Reexec() is weird, because we
615 cannot delay the response properly until we are back, so instead of
616 being properly synchronous we just keep open the fd and close it
617 when done. That means clients do not get a successful method reply,
618 but much rather a disconnect on success.
620 * properly handle loop back mounts via fstab, especially regards to fsck/passno
622 * initialize the hostname from the fs label of /, if /etc/hostname does not exist?
624 * rename "userspace" to "core-os"
626 * load-fragment: when loading a unit file via a chain of symlinks
627 verify that it is not masked via any of the names traversed.
629 * introduce Type=pid-file
631 * change Requires=basic.target to RequisiteOverride=basic.target
633 * when breaking cycles drop sysv services first, then services from /run, then from /etc, then from /usr
635 * automount: implement expire:
636 - set superblock timeout AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_TIMEOUT_CMD
637 - periodically run AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_EXPIRE_CMD
638 - every timeout/4 (original autofs logic)
639 - blocking, needs a thread
641 - receive expire packet on pipe if kernel tells the timeout is over
643 - answer expire packet on pipe with AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_{READY,FAIL}_CMD
644 - AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_EXPIRE_CMD returns
646 * ExecOnFailure=/usr/bin/foo
651 - add trigger --subsystem-match=usb/usb_device device
652 - reimport udev db after MOVE events for devices without dev_t
654 * 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
656 * introduce mix of BindTo and Requisite
658 * There's currently no way to cancel fsck (used to be possible via C-c or c on the console)
660 * add option to sockets to avoid activation. Instead just drop packets/connections, see http://cyberelk.net/tim/2012/02/15/portreserve-systemd-solution/
662 * default unix qlen is too small (10). bump sysctl? add sockopt?
664 * save coredump in Windows/Mozilla minidump format
666 * support crash reporting operation modes (https://live.gnome.org/GnomeOS/Design/Whiteboards/ProblemReporting)
668 * default to actual 32-bit PIDs, via /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max
670 * be able to specify a forced restart of service A where service B depends on, in case B
671 needs to be auto-respawned?
673 * when a bus name of a service disappears from the bus make sure to queue further activation requests
676 - apply "x" on "D" too (see patch from William Douglas)
678 * for services: do not set $HOME in services unless requested
680 * hide PAM options in fragment parser when compile time disabled
682 * when we automatically restart a service, ensure we restart its rdeps, too.
684 * allow Type=simple with PIDFile=
685 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=723942
687 * move PAM code into its own binary
689 * implement Register= switch in .socket units to enable registration
690 in Avahi, RPC and other socket registration services.
692 * make sure systemd-ask-password-wall does not shutdown systemd-ask-password-console too early
694 * add ReloadSignal= for configuring a reload signal to use
696 * verify that the AF_UNIX sockets of a service in the fs still exist
697 when we start a service in order to avoid confusion when a user
698 assumes starting a service is enough to make it accessible
700 * Make it possible to set the keymap independently from the font on
701 the kernel cmdline. Right now setting one resets also the other.
703 * and a dbus call to generate target from current state
705 * GC unreferenced jobs (such as .device jobs)
707 * write blog stories about:
708 - hwdb: what belongs into it, lsusb

725 - hooking a script into various stages of shutdown/rearly booot
727 * allow port=0 in .socket units
729 * recreate systemd's D-Bus private socket file on SIGUSR2
731 * Support --test based on current system state
733 * investigate whether the gnome pty helper should be moved into systemd, to provide cgroup support.
735 * maybe introduce ExecRestartPre=
737 * dot output for --test showing the 'initial transaction'
739 * fingerprint.target, wireless.target, gps.target, netdevice.target
742 - figure out a simple way to wait for journal events in a way that
744 - add documentation to systemd.daemon
747 - plot per-process IO utilization

754 network devices where possible, so we can safely rely
756 - check MTUBytes parsing (expecting size_t but we are using unsigned)
759 - add support for more attribute types
760 - inbuilt piping support (essentially degenerate async)? see loopback-setup.c and other places
763 - add more keys to [Route] and [Address] sections
764 - add support for more DHCPv4 options (and, longer term, other kinds of dynamic config)
765 - add proper initrd support (in particular generate .network/.link files based on /proc/cmdline)

778 - export timezone information
779 - support RFC4702 (pass FQDN)
782 - add functions to set previously stored IPv6 addresses on startup and get
783 them at shutdown; store them in client->ia_na
784 - write more test cases
785 - implement and do duplicate address detection, see rfc 4862, 5.4.
786 - implement reconfigure support, see 5.3., 15.11. and 22.20.
787 - implement support for temporary adressess (IA_TA)
788 - implement dhcpv6 authentication
789 - investigate the usefulness of Confirm messages; i.e. are there any
790 situations where the link changes without any loss in carrier detection
792 - some servers don't do rapid commit without a filled in IA_NA, verify
798 - natively watch for dbus-*.service symlinks (PENDING)
799 - teach dbus to activate all services it finds in /etc/systemd/services/org-*.service
801 * fix alsa mixer restore to not print error when no config is stored
803 * make cryptsetup lower --iter-time
805 * patch kernel for xattr support in /dev, /proc/, /sys?
807 * kernel: add device_type = "fb", "fbcon" to class "graphics"
809 * drop accountsservice's StandardOutput=syslog and Type=dbus fields
811 * dbus upstream still refers to dbus.target and should not
813 * dbus: in fedora, make /var/lib/dbus/machine-id a symlink to /etc/machine-id
815 * add "# export SYSTEMD_PAGER=" to bash login
817 * /usr/bin/service should actually show the new command line
819 * 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=
821 * fedora: F20: go timer units all the way, leave cron.daily for cron
823 * neither pkexec nor sudo initialize environ[] from the PAM environment?
825 * fedora: update policy to declare access mode and ownership of unit files to root:root 0644, and add an rpmlint check for it
827 * register catalog database signature as file magic
829 * zsh shell completion:
830 - <command> <verb> -<TAB> should complete options, but currently does not
831 - systemctl add-wants,add-requires
836 * look for close() vs. close_nointr() vs. close_nointr_nofail()
838 * check for strerror(r) instead of strerror(-r)
840 * Use PR_SET_PROCTITLE_AREA if it becomes available in the kernel
844 * set_put(), hashmap_put() return values check. i.e. == 0 does not free()!
846 * use secure_getenv() instead of getenv() where appropriate
848 * link up selected blog stories from man pages and unit files Documentation= fields
850 Scheduled for removal or fixing:
852 * xxxOverridable dependencies (probably: fix)
