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.
19 * When systemctl --host is used, underlying ssh connection can remain open.
20 bus_close does not kill children?
24 * Fedora: add an rpmlint check that verifies that all unit files in the RPM are listed in %systemd_post macros.
26 * Fedora: move kernel image to /usr/lib/modules/, kernel-install will take care of populating /boot
28 * Fedora: remove /etc/resolv.conf tmpfiles hack
30 * wiki: update journal format documentation for lz4 additions
32 * When lz4 gets an API for lz4 command output, make use of it to
33 compress coredumps in a way compatible with /usr/bin/lz4.
37 * make networkd subscribe to PrepareForSleep(false) and refresh all
40 * when the fstab-generator runs in the initrd, it should create a /dev/null mask for systemd-fsck-root.service, to avoid that the the root fs is fsck'ed twice.
42 * maybe introduce WantsMountsFor=? Usecase:
43 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-January/027729.html
45 * rework kexec logic to use new kexec_file_load() syscall, so that we
46 don't have to call kexec tool anymore.
48 * The udev blkid built-in should expose a property that reflects
49 whether media was sensed in USB CF/SD card readers. This should then
50 be used to control SYSTEMD_READY=1/0 so that USB card readers aren't
51 picked up by systemd unless they contain a medium. This would mirror
52 the behaviour we already have for CD drives.
54 * We should remove really old cruft from cdrom_id
56 * nspawn: emulate /dev/kmsg using CUSE and turn off the syslog syscall
57 with seccomp. That should provide us with a useful log buffer that
58 systemd can log to during early boot, and disconnect container logs
59 from the kernel's logs.
61 * networkd/udev: implement SR_IOV configuration in .link files:
62 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-January/027451.html
64 * When RLIMIT_NPROC is set from a unit file it currently always is set
65 for root, not for the user set in User=, which makes it
66 useless. After fixing this, set RLIMIT_NPROC for
67 systemd-journal-xyz, and all other of our services that run under
68 their own user ids, and use User= (but only in a world where userns
69 is ubiquitous since otherwise we cannot invoke those daemons on the
70 host AND in a container anymore). Also, if LimitNPROC= is used
71 without User= we should warn and refuse operation.
73 * logind: maybe allow configuration of the StopTimeout for session scopes
75 * Set NoNewPriviliges= on all of our own services, where that makes sense
77 * Rework systemctl's GetAll property parsing to use the generic bus_map_all_properties() API
79 * rework journald sigbus stuff to use mutex
81 * import-dkr: support tarsum checksum verification, if it becomes reality one day...
83 * import-dkr: convert json bits to nspawn configuration
85 * import: support import from local files, and export to local files
87 * 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
89 * introduce systemd-nspawn-ephemeral@.service, and hook it into "machinectl start" with a new --ephemeral switch
91 * logind,machined: add generic catch-all polkit verbs for most privileged operations, similar to systemd itself
93 * "machinectl status" should also show internal logs of the container in question
95 * "machinectl list-images" should show os-release data, as well as machine-info data (including deployment level)
97 * 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
99 * Port various tools to make use of verbs.[ch], where applicable
101 * "machinectl history"
105 * "machinectl commit" that takes a writable snapshot of a tree, invokes a shell in it, and marks it read-only after use
107 * "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
109 * 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
111 * systemd-nspawn -x should support ephemeral instances of gpt images
113 * move machinectl's mount and copy commands into machined
115 * hostnamectl: show root image uuid
117 * sysfs set api in libudev is not const
119 * Find a solution for SMACK capabilities stuff:
120 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-December/026188.html
122 * port libmount hookup to use API's own inotify interface, as soon as that is table in libmount
124 * "systemctl preset-all" should probably order the unit files it
125 operates on lexicographically before starting to work, in order to
126 ensure deterministic behaviour if two unit files conflict (like DMs
129 * resolved should optionally register additional per-interface LLMNR
130 names, so that for the container case we can establish the same name
131 (maybe "host") for referencing the server, everywhere.
133 * systemd-journal-upload (or a new, related tool): allow pushing out
134 journal messages onto the network in BSD syslog protocol,
135 continuously. Default to some link-local IP mcast group, to make this
136 useful as a one-stop debugging tool.
138 * synchronize console access with BSD locks:
139 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-October/024582.html
141 * as soon as we have kdbus, and sender timestamps, revisit coalescing multiple parallel daemon reloads:
142 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-December/025862.html
144 * 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
146 * the install state probably shouldn't get confused by generated units, think dbus1/kdbus compat!
148 * in systemctl list-unit-files: show the install value the presets would suggest for a service in a third column
150 * we should try harder to collapse start jobs for swaps that end up being the same:
151 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-November/025359.html
153 * timedated should compensate on SetTime for the time spent in polkit
155 * figure out when we can use the coarse timers
157 * sd-resolve: drop res_query wrapping, people should call via the bus to resolved instead
159 * add "systemctl start -v foobar.service" that shows logs of a service
160 while the start command runs. This is non-trivial to do without
161 races though, since we should flush out all journal messages before
162 returning from the "systemctl stop".
164 * 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
166 * timesyncd + resolved: add ugly bus calls to set NTP and DNS servers per-interface, for usage by NM
168 * 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
170 * machined: add an API so that libvirt-lxc can inform us about network interfaces being removed or added to an existing machine
172 * maybe add support for specifier expansion in user.conf, specifically DefaultEnvironment=
174 * code cleanup: retire FOREACH_WORD_QUOTED, port to unquote_first_word() loops instead
176 * introduce systemd-timesync-wait.service or so to sync on an NTP fix?
178 * systemd --user should issue sd_notify() upon reaching basic.target, not on becoming idle
180 * consider showing the unit names during boot up in the status output, not just the unit descriptions
182 * dhcp: do we allow configuring dhcp routes on interfaces that are not the one we got the dhcp info from?
184 * maybe allow timer units with an empty Units= setting, so that they
185 can be used for resuming the system but nothing else.
187 * what to do about udev db binary stability for apps? (raw access is not an option)
189 * maybe provide an API to allow migration of foreign PIDs into existing scopes.
191 * maybe support a new very "soft" reboot mode, that simply kills all processes, disassembles everything, flushes /run and sysvipc, and then reexecs systemd again
193 * man: document that corrupted journal files is nothing to act on
195 * man: maybe use the word "inspect" rather than "introspect"?
197 * "machinectl list" should probably show columns for OS version and IP addresses
199 * systemctl: if some operation fails, show log output?
202 - allow creation of units from scratch
203 - use equvalent of cat() to insert existing config as a comment, prepended with #.
204 Upon editor exit, lines with one # are removed, lines with two # are left with one #, etc.
206 * refcounting in sd-resolve is borked
208 * exponential backoff in timesyncd and resolved when we cannot reach a server
210 * tmpfiles: port to unquote_many_words(), similar to sysusers
212 * unquote_many_words() should probably be used by a lot of code that
213 currently uses FOREACH_WORD and friends. For example, most conf
214 parsing callbacks should use it.
216 * merge ~/.local/share and ~/.local/lib into one similar /usr/lib and /usr/share....
218 * systemd.show_status= should probably have a mode where only failed
222 - add LLDP client side support
223 - the DHCP lease data (such as NTP/DNS) is still made available when
224 a carrier is lost on a link. It should be removed instantly.
225 - .network setting that allows overriding of the hostname to send to the dhcp server
226 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-July/021550.html
227 - expose in the API the following bits:
228 - option 15, domain name and/or option 119, search list
229 - option 12, host name and/or option 81, fqdn
230 - option 100, 101, timezone
231 - option 123, 144, geolocation
232 - option 252, configure http proxy (PAC/wpad)
233 - networkd's dhcp server should transparently pass on the DNS and
234 NTP server list it got from user configuration and its dhcp client
235 to clients. It should also pass on its own timezone information.
236 - provide a way to define a per-network interface default metric value
237 for all routes to it. possibly a second default for DHCP routes.
238 - allow Name= to be specified repeatedly in the [Match] section. Maybe also
239 support Name=foo*|bar*|baz ?
242 - put networkd events and rtnl events at a higher priority, so that
243 we always process them before we process client requests
245 - use base64 for key presentation?
246 - add display of private key types (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4034#appendix-A.1.1)?
247 - add nice formatting of DNS timestamps
252 - DNS-SD service registration from socket units
256 - maybe randomize DNS UDP source ports
257 - maybe compare query section of DNS replies
259 * Allow multiple ExecStart= for all Type= settings, so that we can cover rescue.service nicely
261 * Add a new verb "systemctl top"
263 * add new gpt type for btrfs volumes
265 * support empty /etc boots nicely:
266 - nspawn/gpt-generator: introduce new gpt partition type for /usr
267 - fstab-generator: support systemd.volatile=yes|no|state on the kernel cmdline, too, similar to nspawn's --volatile=
269 * generator that automatically discovers btrfs subvolumes, identifies their purpose based on some xattr on them.
271 * timer units: actually add extra delays to timer units with high AccuracySec values, don't start them already when we are awake...
273 * a way for container managers to turn off getty starting via $container_headless= or so...
275 * figure out a nice way how we can let the admin know what child/sibling unit causes cgroup membership for a specific unit
277 * mount_cgroup_controllers(): symlinks need to get the label applied
279 * For timer units: add some mechanisms so that timer units that trigger immediately on boot do not have the services
280 they run added to the initial transaction and thus confuse Type=idle.
282 * 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)
284 * sd-event: generate a failure of a default event loop is executed out-of-thread
286 * add bus api to query unit file's X fields.
288 * consider adding RuntimeDirectoryUser= + RuntimeDirectoryGroup=
290 * sd-event: define more intervals where we will shift wakeup intervals around in, 1h, 6h, 24h, ...
292 * gpt-auto-generator:
293 - Support LUKS for root devices
294 - Define new partition type for encrypted swap? Support probed LUKS for encrypted swap?
295 - Make /home automount rather than mount?
297 * add generator that pulls in systemd-network from containers when
298 CAP_NET_ADMIN is set, more than the loopback device is defined, even
299 when it is otherwise off
301 * MessageQueueMessageSize= and RLimitFSIZE= (and suchlike) should use parse_iec_size().
303 * "busctl status" works only as root on dbus1, since we cannot read
306 * implement Distribute= in socket units to allow running multiple
307 service instances processing the listening socket, and open this up
310 * socket units: support creating sockets in different namespace,
311 opening it up for JoinsNamespaceOf=. This would require to fork off
312 a tiny process that joins the namespace and creates/binds the socket
313 and passes this back to PID1 via SCM_RIGHTS. This also could be used
314 to allow Chown/chgrp on sockets without requiring NSS in PID 1.
316 * New service property: maximum CPU and wallclock runtime for a service
318 * introduce bus call FreezeUnit(s, b), as well as "systemctl freeze
319 $UNIT" and "systemctl thaw $UNIT" as wrappers around this. The calls
320 should SIGSTOP all unit processes in a loop until all processes of
321 it are fully stopped. This can later be used for app management by
322 desktop UIs such as gnome-shell to freeze apps that are not visible
323 on screen, not unlike how job control works on the shell
326 - implement per-slice CPUFairScheduling=1 switch
327 - handle jointly mounted controllers correctly
328 - introduce high-level settings for RT budget, swappiness
329 - how to reset dynamically changed unit cgroup attributes sanely?
330 - when reloading configuration, apply new cgroup configuration
331 - when recursively showing the cgroup hierarchy, optionally also show
332 the hierarchies of child processes
335 - allow creating auxiliary units with the same call
336 - add field to transient units that indicate whether systemd or somebody else saves/restores its settings, for integration with libvirt
337 - ensure scope units may be started only a single time
339 * Automatically configure swap partition to use for hibernation by looking for largest swap partition on the root disk?
341 * when we detect low battery and no AC on boot, show pretty splash and refuse boot
343 * machined, localed: when we try to kill an empty cgroup, generate an ESRCH error over the bus
345 * libsystemd-journal, libsystemd-login, libudev: add calls to easily attach these objects to sd-event event loops
347 * be more careful what we export on the bus as (usec_t) 0 and (usec_t) -1
349 * unify dispatch table in systemctl_main() and friends
351 * 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
353 * After coming back from hibernation reset hibernation swap partition using the /dev/snapshot ioctl APIs
355 * If we try to find a unit via a dangling symlink, generate a clean
356 error. Currently, we just ignore it and read the unit from the search
359 * refuse boot if /etc/os-release is missing or /etc/machine-id cannot be set up
361 * btrfs raid assembly: some .device jobs stay stuck in the queue
363 * make sure gdm does not use multi-user-x but the new default X configuration file, and then remove multi-user-x from systemd
365 * man: the documentation of Restart= currently is very misleading and suggests the tools from ExecStartPre= might get restarted.
367 * load .d/*.conf dropins for device units
369 * allow implementation of InaccessibleDirectories=/ plus
370 ReadOnlyDirectories=... for whitelisting files for a service.
373 - GetAllProperties() on a non-existing object does not result in a failure currently
374 - kdbus: process fd=-1 for incoming msgs
375 - port to sd-resolve for connecting to TCP dbus servers
376 - kdbus: maybe add controlling tty metadata fields
377 - 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
378 - when kdbus does not take our message without memfds, try again with memfds
379 - see if we can drop more message validation on the sending side
380 - add API to clone sd_bus_message objects
381 - make AddMatch calls on dbus1 transports async?
382 - kdbus: matches against source or destination pids for an "strace -p"-like feel. Problem: The PID info needs to be available in userspace too...
383 - longer term: priority inheritance
386 - NameLost/NameAcquired obsolete
389 - update systemd.special(7) to mention that dbus.socket is only about the compatibility socket now
390 - test bloom filter generation indexes
391 - bus-proxy: when passing messages from kdbus, make sure we properly
392 handle the case where a large number of fds is appended that we
393 cannot pass into sendmsg() of the AF_UNIX sokcet (which only accepts
395 - kdbus: introduce a concept of "send-only" connections
396 - 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.
399 - allow multiple signal handlers per signal?
400 - document chaining of signal handler for SIGCHLD and child handlers
402 * in the final killing spree, detect processes from the root directory, and
403 complain loudly if they have argv[0][0] == '@' set.
404 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=961044
406 * investigate endianness issues of UUID vs. GUID
408 * dbus: when a unit failed to load (i.e. is in UNIT_ERROR state), we
409 should be able to safely try another attempt when the bus call LoadUnit() is invoked.
411 * add a pam module that passes the hdd passphrase into the PAM stack and then expires it, for usage by gdm auto-login.
413 * add a pam module that on password changes updates any LUKS slot where the password matches
415 * maybe add a generator that looks for "systemd.run=" on the kernel cmdline for container usercases...
417 * cgtop: make cgtop useful in a container
420 - add 'set -e' to scripts in test/
421 - make stuff in test/ work with separate output dir
423 * seems that when we follow symlinks to units we prefer the symlink
424 destination path over /etc and /usr. We should not do that. Instead
425 /etc should always override /run+/usr and also any symlink
428 * when isolating, try to figure out a way how we implicitly can order
429 all units we stop before the isolating unit...
431 * teach ConditionKernelCommandLine= globs or regexes (in order to match foobar={no,0,off})
433 * BootLoaderSpec: Clarify that the kernel has to be in $BOOT. Clarify
434 that the boot loader should be installed to the ESP. Define a way
435 how an installer can figure out whether a BLS compliant boot loader
438 * think about requeuing jobs when daemon-reload is issued? usecase:
439 the initrd issues a reload after fstab from the host is accessible
440 and we might want to requeue the mounts local-fs acquired through
443 * systemd-inhibit: make taking delay locks useful: support sending SIGINT or SIGTERM on PrepareForSleep()
445 * journal-or-kmsg is currently broken? See reverted commit 4a01181e460686d8b4a543b1dfa7f77c9e3c5ab8.
447 * remove any syslog support from log.c -- we probably cannot do this before split-off udev is gone for good
449 * shutdown logging: store to EFI var, and store to USB stick?
451 * write UI tool that pops up emergency messages from the journal as notification
453 * think about window-manager-run-as-user-service problem: exit 0 → activate shutdown.target; exit != 0 → restart service
455 * merge unit_kill_common() and unit_kill_context()
457 * introduce ExecCondition= in services
460 - honor language efi variables for default language selection (if there are any?)
461 - honor timezone efi variables for default timezone selection (if there are any?)
462 - change bootctl to be backed by systemd-bootd to control temporary and persistent default boot goal plus efi variables
464 * maybe do not install getty@tty1.service symlink in /etc but in /usr?
466 * re-enable "make check" for gtk-doc (broken for unknown reason)
468 * fstab: add new mount option x-systemd-after=/foobar/waldo to allow manual dependencies to other mount points
469 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=812826
471 * print a nicer explanation if people use variable/specifier expansion in ExecStart= for the first word
473 * mount: turn dependency information from /proc/self/mountinfo into dependency information between systemd units.
476 - logind: optionally, ignore idle-hint logic for autosuspend, block suspend as long as a session is around
477 - When we update the kernel all kind of hibernation should be prohibited until shutdown/reboot
478 - logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
479 - Add pretty name for seats in logind
480 - logind: allow showing logout dialog from system?
481 - we should probably handle SIGTERM/SIGINT to not leave dot files around, just in case
482 - session scopes/user unit: add RequiresMountsFor for the home directory of the user
483 - add Suspend() bus calls which take timestamps to fix double suspend issues when somebody hits suspend and closes laptop quickly.
484 - if pam_systemd is invoked by su from a process that is outside of a
485 any session we should probably just become a NOP, since that's
486 usually not a real user session but just some system code that just
488 - logind: make the Suspend()/Hibernate() bus calls wait for the for
489 the job to be completed. before returning, so that clients can wait
490 for "systemctl suspend" to finish to know when the suspending is
492 - logind: when the power button is pressed short, just popup a
493 logout dialog. If it is pressed for 1s, do the usual
494 shutdown. Inspiration are Macs here.
495 - logind: allow users to kill or lock their own sessions
496 - expose "Locked" property on logind sesison objects
497 - given that logind now lets PID 1 do all nasty work, we can
498 probably reduce the capability set it retains substantially.
499 (we need CAP_SYS_ADMIN for drmSetMaster(), so maybe not worth it)
500 - expose orientation sensors and tablet mode through logind
502 * exec: when deinitializating a tty device fix the perms and group, too, not only when initializing. Set access mode/gid to 0620/tty.
504 * service: watchdog logic: for testing purposes allow ping, but do not require pong
507 - consider introducing implicit _TTY= + _PPID= + _EUID= + _EGID= + _FSUID= + _FSGID= fields
508 - import and delete pstore filesystem content at startup
509 - journald: also get thread ID from client, plus thread name
510 - journal: when waiting for journal additions in the client always sleep at least 1s or so, in order to minimize wakeups
511 - add API to close/reopen/get fd for journal client fd in libsystemd-journal.
512 - fallback to /dev/log based logging in libsystemd-journal, if we cannot log natively?
513 - declare the local journal protocol stable in the wiki interface chart
514 - journal: reuse XZ context
515 - sd-journal: speed up sd_journal_get_data() with transparent hash table in bg
516 - journald: when dropping msgs due to ratelimit make sure to write
517 "dropped %u messages" not only when we are about to print the next
518 message that works, but alraedy after a short tiemout
519 - check if we can make journalctl by default use --follow mode inside of less if called without args?
520 - maybe add API to send pairs of iovecs via sd_journal_send
521 - journal: when writing journal auto-rotate if time jumps backwards
522 - journal: add a setgid "systemd-journal" utility to invoke from libsystemd-journal, which passes fds via STDOUT and does PK access
523 - journactl: support negative filtering, i.e. FOOBAR!="waldo",
524 and !FOOBAR for events without FOOBAR.
525 - journal: store timestamp of journal_file_set_offline() int he header,
526 so it is possible to display when the file was last synced.
527 - 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.
528 - journal: find a way to allow dropping history early, based on priority, other rules
529 - journal: When used on NFS, check payload hashes
530 - journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
531 - refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
532 - journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
533 - journal: deal nicely with byte-by-byte copied files, especially regards header
534 - journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the components would fit
535 - Replace utmp, wtmp, btmp, and lastlog completely with journal
536 - journalctl: instead --after-cursor= maybe have a --cursor=XYZ+1 syntax?
537 - when a kernel driver logs in a tight loop, we should ratelimit that too.
538 - journald: optionally, log debug messages to /run but everything else to /var
539 - journald: when we drop syslog messages because the syslog socket is
540 full, make sure to write how many messages are lost as first thing
541 to syslog when it works again.
542 - journald: make sure ratelimit is actually really per-service with the new cgroup changes
543 - change systemd-journal-flush into a service that stays around during
544 boot, and causes the journal to be moved back to /run on shutdown,
545 so that we do not keep /var busy. This needs to happen synchronously,
546 hence doing this via signals is not going to work.
547 - optionally support running journald from the command line for testing purposes in external projects
548 - journald: allow per-priority and per-service retention times when rotating/vacuuming
549 - journald: make use of uid-range.h to managed uid ranges to split
551 - journalctl: add the ability to look for the most recent process of a binary. journalctl /usr/bin/X11 --pid=-1 or so...
552 - improve journalctl performance by loading journal files
553 lazily. Encode just enough information in the file name, so that we
554 do not have to open it to know that it is not interesting for us, for
555 the most common operations.
558 - document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fields in
559 [Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
560 - man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
561 - document the exit codes when services fail before they are exec()ed
562 - document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
563 - document in wiki how to map ical recurrence events to systemd timer unit calendar specifications
564 - add a man page containing packaging guidelines and recommending usage of things like Documentation=, PrivateTmp=, PrivateNetwork= and ReadOnlyDirectories=/etc /usr.
565 - document systemd-journal-flush.service properly
566 - documentation: recommend to connect the timer units of a service to the service via Also= in [Install]
567 - man: document the very specific env the shutdown drop-in tools live in
568 - man: extend runlevel(8) to mention that runlevels suck, and are dead. Maybe add runlevel(7) with a note about that too
569 - man: add more examples to man pages
570 - man: maybe sort directives in man pages, and take sections from --help and apply them to man too
573 - systemctl list-jobs - show dependencies
574 - add systemctl switch to dump transaction without executing it
575 - Add a verbose mode to "systemctl start" and friends that explains what is being done or not done
576 - "systemctl disable" on a static unit prints no message and does
577 nothing. "systemctl enable" does nothing, and gives a bad message
578 about it. Should fix both to print nice actionable messages.
579 - print nice message from systemctl --failed if there are no entries shown, and hook that into ExecStartPre of rescue.service/emergency.service
580 - add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
581 - systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into does not exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
582 - systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
583 - support "systemctl stop foobar@.service" to stop all units matching a certain template
584 - Something is wrong with symlink handling of "autovt@.service" in "systemctl list-unit-files"
585 - better error message if you run systemctl without systemd running
586 - systemctl status output should should include list of triggering units and their status
589 - "systemctl mask" should find all names by which a unit is accessible
590 (i.e. by scanning for symlinks to it) and link them all to /dev/null
591 - systemctl list-unit-files should list generated files (and probably with a new state "generated" for them, or so)
594 - timer units should get the ability to trigger when:
595 o CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (TFD_TIMER_CANCEL_ON_SET)
597 - Support 2012-02~4 as syntax for specifying the fourth to last day of the month.
598 - calendarspec: support value ranges with ".." notation. Example: 2013-4..8-1
599 - 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
600 - Modulate timer frequency based on battery state
602 * add libsystemd-password or so to query passwords during boot using the password agent logic
604 * 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().
606 * fedup: add --unit to systemctl switch-root somehow
607 * fedup: do not delete initrd on switch-root
610 * clean up date formatting and parsing so that all absolute/relative timestamps we format can also be parsed
612 * on shutdown: move utmp, wall, audit logic all into PID 1 (or logind?), get rid of systemd-update-utmp-runlevel
614 * make repeated alt-ctrl-del presses printing a dump, or even force a reboot without
615 waiting for the timeout
617 * hostnamed: before returning information from /etc/machine-info.conf check the modification data and reread. Similar for localed, ...
619 * currently x-systemd.timeout is lost in the initrd, since crypttab is copied into dracut, but fstab is not
622 - refuses to boot containers without /etc/machine-id (OK?), and with empty /etc/machine-id (not OK).
625 - cryptsetup-generator: allow specification of passwords in crypttab itself
626 - move cryptsetup key caching into kernel keyctl?
627 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54982
628 - support rd.luks.allow-discards= kernel cmdline params in cryptsetup generator
630 * hw watchdog: optionally try to use the preset watchdog timeout instead of always overriding it
631 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54712
633 * after deserializing sockets in socket.c we should reapply sockopts and things
635 * make timer units go away after they elapsed
637 * move PID 1 segfaults to /var/lib/systemd/coredump?
639 * create /sbin/init symlinks from the build system
641 * allow writing multiple conditions in unit files on one line
643 * MountFlags=shared acts as MountFlags=slave right now.
645 * drop PID 1 reloading, only do reexecing (difficult: Reload()
646 currently is properly synchronous, Reexec() is weird, because we
647 cannot delay the response properly until we are back, so instead of
648 being properly synchronous we just keep open the fd and close it
649 when done. That means clients do not get a successful method reply,
650 but much rather a disconnect on success.
652 * properly handle loop back mounts via fstab, especially regards to fsck/passno
654 * initialize the hostname from the fs label of /, if /etc/hostname does not exist?
656 * rename "userspace" to "core-os"
658 * load-fragment: when loading a unit file via a chain of symlinks
659 verify that it is not masked via any of the names traversed.
661 * introduce Type=pid-file
663 * change Requires=basic.target to RequisiteOverride=basic.target
665 * when breaking cycles drop sysv services first, then services from /run, then from /etc, then from /usr
667 * automount: implement expire:
668 - set superblock timeout AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_TIMEOUT_CMD
669 - periodically run AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_EXPIRE_CMD
670 - every timeout/4 (original autofs logic)
671 - blocking, needs a thread
673 - receive expire packet on pipe if kernel tells the timeout is over
675 - answer expire packet on pipe with AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_{READY,FAIL}_CMD
676 - AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_EXPIRE_CMD returns
678 * ExecOnFailure=/usr/bin/foo
683 - add trigger --subsystem-match=usb/usb_device device
684 - reimport udev db after MOVE events for devices without dev_t
686 * 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
688 * introduce mix of BindTo and Requisite
690 * There's currently no way to cancel fsck (used to be possible via C-c or c on the console)
692 * add option to sockets to avoid activation. Instead just drop packets/connections, see http://cyberelk.net/tim/2012/02/15/portreserve-systemd-solution/
694 * default unix qlen is too small (10). bump sysctl? add sockopt?
696 * save coredump in Windows/Mozilla minidump format
698 * support crash reporting operation modes (https://live.gnome.org/GnomeOS/Design/Whiteboards/ProblemReporting)
700 * default to actual 32-bit PIDs, via /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max
702 * be able to specify a forced restart of service A where service B depends on, in case B
703 needs to be auto-respawned?
705 * when a bus name of a service disappears from the bus make sure to queue further activation requests
708 - apply "x" on "D" too (see patch from William Douglas)
710 - instead of ignoring unknown fields, reject them.
712 * for services: do not set $HOME in services unless requested
714 * hide PAM options in fragment parser when compile time disabled
716 * when we automatically restart a service, ensure we restart its rdeps, too.
718 * allow Type=simple with PIDFile=
719 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=723942
721 * move PAM code into its own binary
723 * implement Register= switch in .socket units to enable registration
724 in Avahi, RPC and other socket registration services.
726 * make sure systemd-ask-password-wall does not shutdown systemd-ask-password-console too early
728 * add ReloadSignal= for configuring a reload signal to use
730 * verify that the AF_UNIX sockets of a service in the fs still exist
731 when we start a service in order to avoid confusion when a user
732 assumes starting a service is enough to make it accessible
734 * Make it possible to set the keymap independently from the font on
735 the kernel cmdline. Right now setting one resets also the other.
737 * and a dbus call to generate target from current state
739 * GC unreferenced jobs (such as .device jobs)
741 * write blog stories about:
742 - hwdb: what belongs into it, lsusb

758 - instantiated apache, dovecot and so on
759 - hooking a script into various stages of shutdown/rearly booot
761 * allow port=0 in .socket units
763 * recreate systemd's D-Bus private socket file on SIGUSR2
765 * Support --test based on current system state
767 * investigate whether the gnome pty helper should be moved into systemd, to provide cgroup support.
769 * maybe introduce ExecRestartPre=
771 * dot output for --test showing the 'initial transaction'
773 * fingerprint.target, wireless.target, gps.target, netdevice.target
776 - figure out a simple way to wait for journal events in a way that
778 - add documentation to systemd.daemon
781 - plot per-process IO utilization
782 - group processes based on service association (cgroups)
783 - document initcall_debug
784 - kernel cmdline "bootchart" option for simplicity?
787 - Make sure ID_PATH is always exported and complete for
788 network devices where possible, so we can safely rely
790 - check MTUBytes parsing (expecting size_t but we are using unsigned)
793 - add support for more attribute types
794 - inbuilt piping support (essentially degenerate async)? see loopback-setup.c and other places
797 - add more keys to [Route] and [Address] sections
798 - add support for more DHCPv4 options (and, longer term, other kinds of dynamic config)
799 - add proper initrd support (in particular generate .network/.link files based on /proc/cmdline)
800 - add reduced [Link] support to .network files
801 - add Scope= parsing option for [Network]
802 - properly handle routerless dhcp leases
803 - add more attribute support for SIT tunnel
804 - work with non-ethernet devices

807 * networkd-wait-online:
808 - make operstates to wait for configurable?
811 - figure out how much we can increase Maximum Message Size
812 - export timezone information
813 - support RFC4702 (pass FQDN)
816 - add functions to set previously stored IPv6 addresses on startup and get
817 them at shutdown; store them in client->ia_na
818 - write more test cases
819 - implement and do duplicate address detection, see rfc 4862, 5.4.
820 - implement reconfigure support, see 5.3., 15.11. and 22.20.
821 - implement support for temporary adressess (IA_TA)
822 - implement dhcpv6 authentication
823 - investigate the usefulness of Confirm messages; i.e. are there any
824 situations where the link changes without any loss in carrier detection
826 - some servers don't do rapid commit without a filled in IA_NA, verify
832 - natively watch for dbus-*.service symlinks (PENDING)
833 - teach dbus to activate all services it finds in /etc/systemd/services/org-*.service
835 * fix alsa mixer restore to not print error when no config is stored
837 * make cryptsetup lower --iter-time
839 * patch kernel for xattr support in /dev, /proc/, /sys?
841 * kernel: add device_type = "fb", "fbcon" to class "graphics"
843 * drop accountsservice's StandardOutput=syslog and Type=dbus fields
845 * dbus upstream still refers to dbus.target and should not
847 * dbus: in fedora, make /var/lib/dbus/machine-id a symlink to /etc/machine-id
849 * add "# export SYSTEMD_PAGER=" to bash login
851 * /usr/bin/service should actually show the new command line
853 * 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=
855 * fedora: F20: go timer units all the way, leave cron.daily for cron
857 * neither pkexec nor sudo initialize environ[] from the PAM environment?
859 * fedora: update policy to declare access mode and ownership of unit files to root:root 0644, and add an rpmlint check for it
861 * register catalog database signature as file magic
863 * zsh shell completion:
864 - <command> <verb> -<TAB> should complete options, but currently does not
865 - systemctl add-wants,add-requires
870 * look for close() vs. close_nointr() vs. close_nointr_nofail()
872 * check for strerror(r) instead of strerror(-r)
874 * Use PR_SET_PROCTITLE_AREA if it becomes available in the kernel
878 * set_put(), hashmap_put() return values check. i.e. == 0 does not free()!
880 * use secure_getenv() instead of getenv() where appropriate
882 * link up selected blog stories from man pages and unit files Documentation= fields
884 Scheduled for removal or fixing:
886 * xxxOverridable dependencies (probably: fix)
