2 * check systemd-tmpfiles for selinux context hookup for mknod(), symlink() and similar
4 * swap units that are activated by one name but shown in the kernel under another are semi-broken
6 * Dangling symlinks of .automount unit files in .wants/ directories, set up
7 automount points even when the original .automount file did not exist
8 anymore. Only the .mount unit was still around.
10 * make polkit checks async
12 * properly handle .mount unit state tracking when two mount points are stacked one on top of another on the exact same mount point.
16 * external: maybe it is time to patch procps so that "ps" links to
17 libsystemd-logind to print a pretty service name, seat name, session
18 name in its output. Currently it only shows cgroup membership, but
19 that's sometimes kinda hard to parse for a human.
22 - update dbus interface docs in wiki
25 - localectl: support new converted x11→console keymaps
27 * when installing fedora with yum --installroot /var/run is a directory, not a symlink
31 * transient units: allow creating auxiliary units with the same call
33 * make BlockIODeviceWeight=, BlockIODeviceBandwidth= runtime settable
35 * split up BlockIOWeight= and BlockIODeviceWeight=
37 * how to reset dynamically changed attributes sanely?
39 * when reloading configuration, apply new cgroup configuration
41 * implement system-wide DefaultCPUAccounting=1 switch (and similar for blockio, memory?)
43 * implement per-slice CPUFairScheduling=1 switch
45 * handle jointly mounted controllers correctly
47 * split out CreateMachine into systemd-machined
49 * introduce new Scope unit type then make logind's session and machine
50 registration use this to set up cgroups
52 * should Slice= be part of [Unit] or of [Service]?
54 * journald: make sure ratelimit is actually really per-service with the new cgroup changes
56 * move systemctl dump to systemd-analyze
58 * libsystemd-logind: sd_session_is_active() and friends: verify
59 validity of session name before appending it to a path
61 * logind: when a PAM client calls ReleaseSession() start a timeout and
62 kill the session entirely after that is reached.
64 * gparted needs to disable auto-activation of mount units somehow, or
65 maybe we should stop doing auto-activiation of this after boot
66 entirely. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=701676
68 * when a service changes state make reflect that in the
69 RUNNING/LISTENING states of its socket
71 * when recursively showing the cgroup hierarchy, optionally also show
72 the hierarchies of child processes
74 * document logic of auto/noauto and fail/nofail in fstab in systemd.mount or systemd-fstab-generator man page
76 * we should properly escape ssh hostnames we add into dbus server strings
78 * something pulls in pcre as so dep into our daemons such as hostnamed.
80 * cgroup-agent: downgrade error messages
82 * document systemd-journal-flush.service properly
84 * chane systemd-journal-flush into a service that stays around during
85 boot, and causes the journal to be moved back to /run on shutdown,
86 so that we don't keep /var busy. This needs to happen synchronously,
87 hence doing this via signals is not going to work.
89 * allow implementation of InaccessibleDirectories=/ plus
90 ReadOnlyDirectories=... for whitelisting files for a service.
93 - return ECHILD as soon as somebody tries to reuse a journal object across a fork()
96 - default policy (allow uid == 0 and our own uid)
97 - enforce alignment of pointers passed in
98 - when kdbus doesn't take our message without memfds, try again with memfds
99 - implement translator service
100 - port systemd to new library
101 - implement busname unit type in systemd
103 - merge busctl into systemctl or so?
104 - synthesize sd_bus_message objects from kernel messages
105 - properly implement name registry ioctls for kdbus
106 - get rid of object hash table, use decision tree everyhwere instead?
107 - implement monitor logic
108 - object vtable logic
111 * priority inheritance
113 * in the final killing spree, detect processes from the root directory, and
114 complain loudly if they have argv[0][0] == '@' set.
115 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=961044
117 * add an option to nspawn that uses seccomp to make socket(AF_NETLINK,
118 SOCK_RAW, NETLINK_AUDIT) fail the the appropriate error code that
119 makes the audit userspace to think auditing is not available in the
122 * Introduce a way how we can kill the main process of a service with KillSignal, but all processes with SIGKILL later on
123 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=952634
125 * maybe add a warning to the unit file parses whern the acces mode of unit files is non-sensical.
127 * investigate endianess issues of UUID vs. GUID
129 * dbus: when a unit failed to load (i.e. is in UNIT_ERROR state), we
130 should be able to safely try another attempt when the bus call LoadUnit() is invoked.
132 * if pam_systemd is invoked by su from a process that is outside of a
133 any session we should probably just become a NOP, since that's
134 usually not a real user session but just some system code that just
137 * add a pam module that passes the hdd passphrase into the PAM stack and then expires it, for usage by gdm auto-login.
139 * add a pam module that on password changes updates any LUKS slot where the password matches
141 * maybe add a generator that looks for "systemd.run=" on the kernel cmdline for container usercases...
143 * timedatctl, localectl: possibly make some commands work without the daemon, for chroot situations...
145 * logind: add Suspend() bus calls which take timestamps to fix double suspend issues when somebody hits suspend and closes laptop quickly.
147 * we need dynamic units
149 * cgtop: make cgtop useful in a container
152 - add 'set -e' to scripts in test/
153 - make stuff in test/ work with separate output dir
154 - remove all the duplicated code in test/
156 * suppress log output on shutdown when "quiet" is used
158 * systemctl delete x.snapshot leaves no trace in logs (at least at default level).
160 * make the coredump collector tool move itself into the user's cgroup
161 so that the coredump is properly written to the user's own journal
164 * move /usr/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/modules.devname parsing from udevd to
166 call kmod as an early service, and drop CAP_MKNOD from udevd.service
168 * seems that when we follow symlinks to units we prefer the symlink
169 destination path over /etc and /usr. We shouldn't do that. Instead
170 /etc should always override /run+/usr and also any symlink
173 * remove duplicate default deps logic from fstab-generator vs. mount.c
175 * when isolating, try to figure out a way how we implicitly can order
176 all units we stop before the isolating unit...
178 * teach udev + logind's uaccess to somehow handle the "dead" device nodes from:
179 /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/modules.devname
180 and apply ACLs to them if they have TAG=="uaccess" in udev rules.
182 * add ConditionArchitecture= or so
184 * teach ConditionKernelCommandLine= globs or regexes (in order to match foobar={no,0,off})
186 * we should log capabilities too
188 * Support SO_REUSEPORT with socket activation:
189 - Let systemd maintain a pool of servers.
190 - Use for seamless upgrades, by running the new server before stopping the
193 * after all byte-wise realloc() is slow, even on glibc, so i guess we
194 need manual exponential loops after all
196 * BootLoaderSpec: drop allowing ext234 for $BOOT. Clarify that the
197 kernel has to be in $BOOT. Clarify that the boot loader should be
198 installed to the ESP. Define a way how an installer can figure out
199 whether a BLS compliant boot loader is installed.
201 * man: remove .include documentation, and instead push people to use .d/*.conf
203 * think about requeuing jobs when daemon-reload is issued? usecase:
204 the initrd issues a reload after fstab from the host is accessible
205 and we might want to requeue the mounts local-fs acquired through
208 * rework specifier logic so that we can distuingish OOM errors from other errors
210 * systemd-inhibit: make taking delay locks useful: support sending SIGINT or SIGTERM on PrepareForSleep()
212 * journal-or-kmsg is currently broken? See reverted commit 4a01181e460686d8b4a543b1dfa7f77c9e3c5ab8.
214 * remove any syslog support from log.c -- we probably can't do this before split-off udev is gone for good
216 * documentation: recommend to connect the timer units of a service to the service via Also= in [Install]
218 * add a tool that lists active timer units plus their next elapstion and the time the units ran last
220 * man: document the very specific env the shutdown drop-in tools live in
222 * shutdown logging: store to EFI var, and store to USB stick?
224 * man: extend runlevel(8) to mention that runlevels suck, and are dead. Maybe add runlevel(7) with a note about that too
226 * systemctl: maybe add "systemctl add-wants" or so...
228 * man: add more examples to man pages
230 * man: maybe sort directives in man pages, and take sections from --help and apply them to man too
232 * write UI tool that pops up emergency messages from the journal as notification
234 * think about window-manager-run-as-user-service problem: exit 0 → activate shutdown.target; exit != 0 → restart service
236 * msgcatalog determine default language of entries from the catalog
237 file name. i.e. foobar.de_DE.catalog would set the default entry
238 name for the entries to de_DE if they aren't explicitly suffixed
241 * use "log level" rather than "log priority" everywhere
243 * timedate: have global on/off switches for auto-time (NTP), and auto-timezone that connman can subscribe to.
245 * Honour "-" prefix for InaccessibleDirectories= and ReadOnlyDirectories= to
246 suppress errors of the specified path doesn't exist
248 * dev-setup.c: when running in a container, create a tiny stub udev
249 database with the systemd tag set for all network interfaces found,
250 so that libudev reports them as present, and systemd's .device units
253 * merge unit_kill_common() and unit_kill_context()
255 * introduce ExecCondition= in services
258 - fsck hookup for the ESP mount is missing
259 - write man page for efi boot generator
260 - honor language efi variables for default language selection (if there are any?)
261 - honor timezone efi variables for default timezone selection (if there are any?)
262 - introduce bootctl (backed by systemd-bootd) to control temporary and persistent default boot goal plus efi variables
264 * maybe do not install getty@tty1.service symlink in /etc but in /usr?
266 * re-enable "make check" for gtk-doc (broken for unknown reason)
268 * fstab: add new mount option x-systemd-after=/foobar/waldo to allow manual dependencies to other mount points
269 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=812826
271 * print a nicer explanation if people use variable/specifier expansion in ExecStart= for the first word
273 * mount: turn dependency information from /proc/self/mountinfo into dependency information between systemd units.
276 - logind: optionally, ignore idle-hint logic for autosuspend, block suspend as long as a session is around
277 - When we update the kernel all kind of hibernation should be prohibited until shutdown/reboot
278 - logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
279 - Add pretty name for seats in logind
280 - logind: allow showing logout dialog from system?
281 - logind: spawn user@..service on login
282 - logind: non-local X11 server handling
283 - logind: add equivalent to sd_pid_get_owner_uid() to the D-Bus API
284 - pam: when leaving a session explicitly exclude the ReleaseSession() caller process from the killing spree
285 - logind: GetSessionByPID() should accept 0 as PID value
286 - we should probably handle SIGTERM/SIGINT to not leave dot files around, just in case
288 * exec: when deinitializating a tty device fix the perms and group, too, not only when initializing. Set access mode/gid to 0620/tty.
290 * DeviceAllow/DeviceDeny: disallow everything by default, but whitelist /dev/zero, /dev/null and friends
292 * service: watchdog logic: for testing purposes allow ping, but do not require pong
295 - do not use magic msync() in src/journal/journal-file.c, just call fsync()
296 <alxchk> poettering: looks like msync just calls vfs_fsync
297 http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/mm/msync.c#n18
298 - import and delete pstore filesystem content at startup
299 - journald: also get thread ID from client, plus thread name
300 - journal: when waiting for journal additions in the client always sleep at least 1s or so, in order to minimize wakeups
301 - add API to close/reopen/get fd for journal client fd in libsystemd-journal.
302 - fallback to /dev/log based logging in libsystemd-journal, if we can't log natively?
303 - declare the local journal protocol stable in the wiki interface chart
304 - journal: reuse XZ context
305 - sd-journal: speed up sd_journal_get_data() with transparent hash table in bg
306 - journald: when dropping msgs due to ratelimit make sure to write
307 "dropped %u messages" not only when we are about to print the next
308 message that works, but alraedy after a short tiemout
309 - check if we can make journalctl by default use --follow mode inside of less if called without args?
310 - maybe add API to send pairs of iovecs via sd_journal_send
311 - journal: when writing journal auto-rotate if time jumps backwards
312 - journal: add a setgid "systemd-journal" utility to invoke from libsystemd-journal, which passes fds via STDOUT and does PK access
313 - journactl: support negative filtering, i.e. FOOBAR!="waldo",
314 and !FOOBAR for events without FOOBAR.
315 - journal: when rotating, copy over old acls/access mode
316 - journal: send out marker messages every now and then, and immediately sync with fdatasync() afterwards, in order to have hourly guaranteed syncs.
317 - 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.
318 - journal: find a way to allow dropping history early, based on priority, other rules
319 - journal: When used on NFS, check payload hashes
320 - Introduce journalctl -b <nr> to show journal messages of a previous boot
321 - journald: check whether it is OK if the client can still modify delivered journal entries
322 - journal live copy, based on libneon (client) and libmicrohttpd (server)
323 - journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
324 - refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
325 - journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
326 - journal: deal nicely with byte-by-byte copied files, especially regards header
327 - journalctl: show multiline log messages sanely, expand tabs, and show all valid utf8 messages
328 - journal: store euid in journal if it differs from uid
329 - journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the components would fit
330 - Replace utmp, wtmp, btmp, and lastlog completely with journal
331 - Port upower to use the journal for historical power information used in future calculations
334 - document unit_name_mangle()
335 - document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fileds in
336 [Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
337 - man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
338 - Document word splitting syntax for ExecStart= and friends
339 - document that units from /etc override those from /usr and /run
340 - document the exit codes when services fail before they are exec()ed
341 - document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
342 - document in wiki how to map ical recurrence events to systemd timer unit calendar specifications
345 - systemctl list-jobs - show dependencies
346 - add systemctl switch to dump transaction without executing it
347 - Add a verbose mode to "systemctl start" and friends that explains what is being done or not done
348 - "systemctl disable" on a static unit prints no message and does
349 nothing. "systemctl enable" does nothing, and gives a bad message
350 about it. Should fix both to print nice actionable messages.
351 - print nice message from systemctl --failed if there are no entries shown, and hook that into ExecStartPre of rescue.service/emergency.service
352 - add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
353 - systemctl enable: improve the success messages (i.e. more human readable, less shell-like)
354 - systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into doesn't exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
355 - systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
356 - support "systemctl stop foobar@.service" to stop all units matching a certain template
357 - Something is wrong with symlink handling of "autovt@.service" in "systemctl list-unit-files"
359 * introduce ntp.service (or suchlike) as symlink that is used to arbitrate between various NTP implementations
361 * deal with sendmail/postfix exclusivity
364 - configurable jitter for timer events
365 - timer events with system resume
366 - timer units should get the ability to trigger when:
367 o CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (TFD_TIMER_CANCEL_ON_SET)
369 - Support 2012-02~4 as syntax for specifying the fourth to last day of the month.
371 * update the kernel's TZ (sys_tz) when DST changes
373 * sync down the system time to the RTC when:
374 - CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (the user explicitely requested a time set)
375 - DST/timezone changes && ntp is active && RTC-in-localtime (never do it without ntp)
376 This takes care of syncing ntpdate updates to the RTC, and DST updates for localtime
377 mode, it will never touch the RTC if the no reliable time source is active or the
378 user did not request anything like it.
381 - implement conditional properties (dmi matches)
382 - hwdb --filter=ID_DRIVE_*
384 * if booted in "quiet" mode, and an error happens, turn on status
385 output again, so that the emergency mode isn't totally
386 surprising. Also, terminate plymouth.
388 * libunwind support for coredump pattern hook, and includes this in
389 the message for coredumps. After all, libunwind is now capable to
390 unwind coredumps since a few weeks ago. This probably requires that
391 we have nice support for multi-line messages on display in
392 logs-show.c. Alternatively: use libelfutil, which seems to be the
393 better supported alternative.
395 * figure out relation of --all and --full in the various tools
397 * add libsystemd-password or so to query passwords during boot using the password agent logic
399 * 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().
401 * fedup: add --unit to systemctl switch-root somehow
402 * fedup: don't delete initrd on switch-root
406 - timedated: refuse time changes when NTP is on
408 * clean up date formatting and parsing so that all absolute/relative timestamps we format can also be parsed
410 * introduce generic AUGMENT_PID=, AUGMENT_DEVICE= fields
412 * on shutdown: move utmp, wall, audit logic all into PID 1 (or logind?), get rid of systemd-update-utmp-runlevel
414 * add "provisioning" instructions to setup an empty /etc + /var
415 - used to setup a new container from a shared /usr
416 - superset of tmpfiles model
417 - instructions shipped by packages and stored in /usr/lib/
418 - compose /etc/passwd and /etc/group, copy files
419 - able to create uid + gid used by packages, for file ownership
421 * make repeated alt-ctrl-del presses printing a dump, or even force a reboot without
422 waiting for the timeout
424 * high level net_prio setting in execution context
426 * hostnamed: before returning information from /etc/machine-info.conf check the modification data and reread. Similar for localed, ...
428 * currently x-systemd.timeout is lost in the initrd, since crypttab is copied into dracut, but fstab isn't
430 * refuse boot if /etc/machine-id is not useful (or set taint?)
433 - nspawn: consider changing users for -u with su, so that NSS resolving works correctly
434 - nspawn: implement personality changes a la linux32(8)
435 - nspawn: --read-only is not applied recursively to submounts
436 - nspawn: make use of device cgroup controller by default
437 - bind mount read-only the cgroup tree higher than nspawn
438 - nspawn: investigate whether we can support the same as LXC's
439 lxc.network.type=phys mode, and pass through entire network
440 interfaces to the container
441 - nspawn: maybe add a way to drop additional caps, in addition to add additional caps
442 - nspawn: maybe explicitly reset loginuid?
443 - nspawn: make it work for dwalsh and shared /usr containers -- tmpfs mounts as command line parameters, selinux exec context
446 - cryptsetup-generator: allow specification of passwords in crypttab itself
447 - move cryptsetup key caching into kernel keyctl?
448 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54982
449 - support rd.luks.allow-discards= kernel cmdline params in cryptsetup generator
451 * move debug shell to tty6 and make sure this doesn't break the gettys on tty6
453 * hw watchdog: optionally try to use the preset watchdog timeout instead of always overriding it
454 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54712
456 * after deserializing sockets in socket.c we should reapply sockopts and things
458 * make timer units go away after they elapsed
460 * http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2012-September/006502.html
461 (network and remote-fs on shutdown)
463 * come up with a nice way to write queue/read_ahead_kb for a block device without interfering with readahead
465 * move PID 1 segfaults to /var/lib/systemd/coredump?
467 * create /sbin/init symlinks from the build system
469 * Query Paul Moore about relabelling socket fds while they are open
471 * system.conf should have controls for cgroups
473 * allow writing multiple conditions in unit files on one line
475 * explore multiple service instances per listening socket idea
477 * shutdown: don't read-only mount anything when running in container
479 * MountFlags=shared acts as MountFlags=slave right now.
481 * ReadOnlyDirectories= is not applied recursively to submounts
483 * drop PID 1 reloading, only do reexecing (difficult: Reload()
484 currently is properly synchronous, Reexec() is weird, because we
485 can't delay the response properly until we are back, so instead of
486 being properly synchronous we just keep open the fd and close it
487 when done. That means clients don't get a successful method reply,
488 but much rather a disconnect on success.
490 * remember which condition failed for services, not just the fact that something failed
492 * use opterr = 0 for all getopt tools
494 * properly handle loop back mounts via fstab, especially regards to fsck/passno
496 * allow services with no ExecStart= but with an ExecStop=
498 * dracut-shutdown needs to be ordered before unmounting /boot
500 * initialize the hostname from the fs label of /, if /etc/hostname does not exist?
502 * rename "userspace" to "core-os"
505 - syscall filter: add knowledge about compat syscalls
506 - syscall filter: don't enforce no new privs?
507 - syscall filter: option to return EPERM rather than SIGSYS?
508 - syscall filter: port to libseccomp
509 - system-wide seccomp filter
511 * .device aliases need to be implemented with the "following" logic, probably.
513 * load-fragment: when loading a unit file via a chain of symlinks
514 verify that it isn't masked via any of the names traversed.
516 * introduce Type=pid-file
518 * change Requires=basic.target to RequisiteOverride=basic.target
520 * when breaking cycles drop sysv services first, then services from /run, then from /etc, then from /usr
522 * move passno parsing to fstab generator
524 * automount: implement expire:
525 - set superblock timeout AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_TIMEOUT_CMD
526 - periodically run AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_EXPIRE_CMD
527 - every timeout/4 (original autofs logic)
528 - blocking, needs a thread
530 - receive expire packet on pipe if kernel tells the timeout is over
532 - answer expire packet on pipe with AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_{READY,FAIL}_CMD
533 - AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_EXPIRE_CMD returns
535 * services which create their own subcgroups break cgroup-empty notification (needs to be fixed in the kernel)
537 * ExecOnFailure=/usr/bin/foo
540 - remove src/udev/udev-builtin-firmware.c (CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER=n)
542 - unify utf8 validator code with shared/
544 - add trigger --subsystem-match=usb/usb_device device
546 * cleanup syslog 'priority' vs. 'level' wording
548 * 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
550 * support container_ttys=
552 * introduce mix of BindTo and Requisite
554 * add DeleteSocketsOnStop=yes|no option to socket units
556 * There's currently no way to cancel fsck (used to be possible via C-c or c on the console)
558 * add option to sockets to avoid activation. Instead just drop packets/connections, see http://cyberelk.net/tim/2012/02/15/portreserve-systemd-solution/
560 * default unix qlen is too small (10). bump sysctl? add sockopt?
562 * save coredump in Windows/Mozilla minidump format
564 * support crash reporting operation modes (https://live.gnome.org/GnomeOS/Design/Whiteboards/ProblemReporting)
566 * clean up session cgroups that remain after logout (think sshd), but eventually run empty
568 * when an instanced service exits, remove its parent cgroup too if possible.
570 * default to actual 32bit PIDs, via /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max
572 * be able to specify a forced restart of service A where service B depends on, in case B
573 needs to be auto-respawned?
575 * when a bus name of a service disappears from the bus make sure to queue further activation requests
577 * tmpfiles: apply "x" on "D" too (see patch from William Douglas)
579 * for services: don't set $HOME in services unless requested
581 * hide PAM/TCPWrap options in fragment parser when compile time disabled
583 * when we automatically restart a service, ensure we restart its rdeps, too.
585 * allow Type=simple with PIDFile=
586 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=723942
588 * move PAM code into its own binary
590 * implement Register= switch in .socket units to enable registration
591 in Avahi, RPC and other socket registration services.
593 * make sure systemd-ask-password-wall does not shutdown systemd-ask-password-console too early
595 * support sd_notify() style notification when reload begins (RELOADING=1), reload is finished (READY=1), and add ReloadSignal= then to use in combination
597 * support sd_notify() style notification when shutting down, to make auto-exit bus services work (STOPPING=1)
599 * verify that the AF_UNIX sockets of a service in the fs still exist
600 when we start a service in order to avoid confusion when a user
601 assumes starting a service is enough to make it accessible
603 * Make it possible to set the keymap independently from the font on
604 the kernel cmdline. Right now setting one resets also the other.
606 * and a dbus call to generate target from current state
609 - drop /.readahead on bigger upgrades with yum
610 - move readahead files into /var (look for them with .path units?)
611 - readahead: use BTRFS_IOC_DEFRAG_RANGE instead of BTRFS_IOC_DEFRAG ioctl, with START_IO
612 - readahead: when bumping /sys readahead variable save mtime and compare later to detect changes
613 - readahead: make use of EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT, as used by http://e4rat.sourceforge.net/
615 * add support for /bin/mount -s
617 * GC unreferenced jobs (such as .device jobs)
619 * write blog stories about:
620 - hwdb: what belongs into it, lsusb
621 - enabling dbus services
623 - how to make changes to sysctl and sysfs attributes
625 - how to pass throw-away units to systemd, or dynamically change properties of existing units
626 - how to integrate cgconfig and suchlike with systemd
627 - testing with Harald's awesome test kit
629 - how to develop against journal browsing APIs
630 - the journal HTTP iface
631 - non-cgroup resource management
632 - dynamic resource management with cgroups
633 - refreshed, longer missions statement
634 - calendar time events
635 - init=/bin/sh vs. "emergency" mode, vs. "rescue" mode, vs. "multi-user" mode, vs. "graphical" mode, and the debug shell
636 - how to create your own target
637 - instantiated apache, dovecot and so on
638 - hooking a script into various stages of shutdown/rearly booot
640 * allow port=0 in .socket units
642 * support systemd.mask= on the kernel command line.
644 * recreate systemd's D-Bus private socket file on SIGUSR2
646 * Support --test based on current system state
648 * investigate whether the gnome pty helper should be moved into systemd, to provide cgroup support.
650 * maybe introduce ExecRestartPre=
652 * dot output for --test showing the 'initial transaction'
654 * port over to LISTEN_FDS/LISTEN_PID:
655 - rpcbind (/var/run/rpcbind.sock!) HAVEPATCH
659 - libvirtd (/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock-ro)
660 - bluetoothd (/var/run/sdp! @/org/bluez/audio!)
663 * fingerprint.target, wireless.target, gps.target, netdevice.target
665 * io priority during initialization
667 * drop cap bounding set in readahead and other services
670 - figure out a simple way to wait for journal events in a way that
672 - add documentation to systemd.daemon
675 - plot per-process IO utilization
676 - group processes based on service association (cgroups)
677 - document initcall_debug
678 - kernel cmdline "bootchart" option for simplicity?
684 - natively watch for dbus-*.service symlinks (PENDING)
685 - allow specification of socket mode/umask when allocating DBusServer
686 - allow disabling of fd passing when connecting a AF_UNIX connection
687 - allow disabling of UID passing for AUTH EXTERNAL
688 - always pass cred data along each message
689 - teach dbus to activate all services it finds in /etc/systemd/services/org-*.service
691 * fix alsa mixer restore to not print error when no config is stored
693 * make cryptsetup lower --iter-time
695 * patch kernel for xattr support in /dev, /proc/, /sys?
697 * NTP: the kernel's 11-minutes-mode syncs the system time to the RTC, but only
698 in an ~30 minutes window. It does not adjust larger differences. Find a way
699 to tell the kernel, to always do a full time sync when the RTC is in UTC and
700 we are in 11-minutes-mode. When we trust the system time to NTP we also want
703 * kernel: add device_type = "fb", "fbcon" to class "graphics"
705 * drop accountsservice's StandardOutput=syslog and Type=dbus fields
707 * dbus upstream still refers to dbus.target and shouldn't
709 * dbus: in fedora, make /var/lib/dbus/machine-id a symlink to /etc/machine-id
711 * add "# export SYSTEMD_PAGER=" to bash login
713 * /usr/bin/service should actually show the new command line
715 * 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=
717 * fedora: F20: go timer units all the way, leave cron.daily for cron
719 * neither pkexec nor sudo initialize environ[] from the PAM environment?
721 * fedora: update policy to declare access mode and ownership of unit files to root:root 0644, and add an rpmlint check for it
725 * look for close() vs. close_nointr() vs. close_nointr_nofail()
727 * check for strerror(r) instead of strerror(-r)
729 * Use PR_SET_PROCTITLE_AREA if it becomes available in the kernel
731 * %m in printf() instead of strerror(errno);
735 * set_put(), hashmap_put() return values check. i.e. == 0 doesn't free()!
737 * use secure_getenv() instead of getenv() where appropriate
739 * link up selected blog stories from man pages and unit files Documentation= fields
741 Scheduled for removal or fixing:
743 * xxxOverridable dependencies (probably: fix)
