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 * timedatectl: NTP enabled: n/a
18 * fix match logic to add another level of disjunction/conjunction
20 * external: maybe it is time to patch procps so that "ps" links to
21 libsystemd-logind to print a pretty service name, seat name, session
22 name in its output. Currently it only shows cgroup membership, but
23 that's sometimes kinda hard to parse for a human.
26 - update dbus interface docs in wiki
29 - localectl: support new converted x11→console keymaps
31 * timer logic is confused by units which are skipped due to failing condition
32 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2013-February/008816.html
34 * timer logic is also confused if a service it triggers hasn't finished when the next timer elapses:
35 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2013-February/009021.html
39 * for instanced unit drop-ins we should look in foo@bar.service.d/ as well as foo@.service.d/
41 * if pam_systemd is invoked by su from a process that is outside of a
42 any session we should probably just become a NOP, since that's
43 usually not a real user session but just some system code that just
46 * add a pam module that passes the hdd passphrase into the PAM stack and then expires it, for usage by gdm auto-login.
48 * add a pam module that on password changes updates any LUKS slot where the password matches
50 * maybe add a generator that looks for "systemd.run=" on the kernel cmdline for container usercases...
52 * timedatctl, localectl: possibly make some commands work without the daemon, for chroot situations...
54 * nspawn: expose init PID, UUID, root directory as cgroup EAs. names should be: 'user.machine_id', 'user.init_pid', 'user.root_directory'.
56 * logind: consider making suspend inhibitor locks non-session specific, but keep suspend-key inhibitor locks session specific
58 * logind: add Suspend() bus calls which take timestamps to fix double suspend issues when somebody hits suspend and closes laptop quickly.
60 * we need dynamic units
62 * nss-myhostname should also resolve 'localhost' so that /etc/hosts becomes optional.
64 * add s.th. like "systemctl set-log-level debug"
66 * sd-login: allow enumerating machines and add inotify iface
68 * move session owner code from sd-login.c to cgroup-util.c
70 * cgroup-util: verify syntax of cgroup controllers
72 * cgtop: make cgtop useful in a container
74 * make sure cg_pid_get_path() works properly for co-mounted controllers
76 * nspawn: ensure syntax of --uuid= argument is correct
78 * explicitly disallow changing the cgroup path of units in the
79 name=systemd hierarchy, unless it is outside of /system
81 * add 'set -e' to scripts in test/
82 * make test in test/ work with separate output dir
84 * suppress log output on shutdown when "quiet" is used
86 * systemctl delete x.snapshot leaves no trace in logs (at least at default level).
88 * make the coredump collector tool move itself into the user's cgroup
89 so that the coredump is properly written to the user's own journal
92 * move /usr/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/modules.devname parsing from udevd to
94 call kmod as an early service, and drop CAP_MKNOD from udevd.service
96 * systemd-delta needs to be made aware of *.d/*.conf drop-in files for
99 * seems that when we follow symlinks to units we prefer the symlink
100 destination path over /etc and /usr. We shouldn't do that. Instead
101 /etc should always override /run+/usr and also any symlink
104 * remove duplicate default deps logic from fstab-generator vs. mount.c
106 * when isolating, try to figure out a way how we implicitly can order
107 all units we stop before the isolating unit...
109 * teach udev + logind's uaccess to somehow handle the "dead" device nodes from:
110 /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/modules.devname
111 and apply ACLs to them if they have TAG=="uaccess" in udev rules.
113 * matching against units is currently broken in journalctl. We really
114 need another AND level in the expressions,
115 i.e. sd_journal_add_conjunction().
117 * add ConditionArchitecture= or so
119 * teach ConditionKernelCommandLine= globs or regexes (in order to match foobar={no,0,off})
121 * we should log capabilities too
123 * Support SO_REUSEPORT with socket activation:
124 - Let systemd maintain a pool of servers.
125 - Use for seamless upgrades, by running the new server before stopping the
128 * after all byte-wise realloc() is slow, even on glibc, so i guess we
129 need manual exponential loops after all
131 * BootLoaderSpec: drop allowing ext234 for $BOOT. Clarify that the
132 kernel has to be in $BOOT. Clarify that the boot loader should be
133 installed to the ESP. Define a way how an installer can figure out
134 whether a BLS compliant boot loader is installed.
136 * man: remove .include documentation, and instead push people to use .d/*.conf
138 * disallow .include from included files
140 * safe_atod() is too naive, as it is vulnerable to locale parameters, should be locale independent.
142 * think about requeuing jobs when daemon-reload is issued? usecase:
143 the initrd issues a reload after fstab from the host is accessible
144 and we might want to requeue the mounts local-fs acquired through
147 * neither pkexec nor sudo initialize environ[] from the PAM environment?
149 * rework specifier logic so that we can distuingish OOM errors from other errors
151 * systemd-inhibit: make taking delay locks useful: support sending SIGINT or SIGTERM on PrepareForSleep()
153 * journal-or-kmsg is currently broken? See reverted commit 4a01181e460686d8b4a543b1dfa7f77c9e3c5ab8.
155 * remove any syslog support from log.c -- we probably can't do this before split-off udev is gone for good
157 * fedora: connect the timer units of a service to the service via Also= in [Install]
159 * fedora: F20: go timer units all the way, leave cron.daily for cron
161 * add a tool that lists active timer units plus their next elapstion and the time the units ran last
163 * man: document the very specific env the shutdown drop-in tools live in
165 * shutdown logging: store to EFI var, and store to USB stick?
167 * man: extend runlevel(8) to mention that runlevels suck, and are dead. Maybe add runlevel(7) with a note about that too
169 * systemctl: maybe add "systemctl add-wants" or so...
171 * man: add a link to socket activation blog from systemd.socket(5)
173 * man: add more examples to man pages
175 * man: maybe sort directives in man pages, and take sections from --help and apply them to man too
177 * add "# export SYSTEMD_PAGER=" to bash login
179 * /usr/bin/service should actually show the new command line
181 * fedora: suggest auto-restart on failure, but not on sucess and not on coredump. also, ask people to think about changing the start limit logic. Also point people to RestartPreventExitStatus=, SuccessExitStatus=
183 * write UI tool that pops up emergency messages from the journal as notification
185 * think about window-manager-run-as-user-service problem: exit 0 → activate shutdown.target; exit != 0 → restart service
187 * msgcatalog determine default language of entries from the catalog
188 file name. i.e. foobar.de_DE.catalog would set the default entry
189 name for the entries to de_DE if they aren't explicitly suffixed
192 * use "log level" rather than "log priority" everywhere
194 * ensure sd_journal_seek_monotonic actually works properly.
196 * timedate: have global on/off switches for auto-time (NTP), and auto-timezone that connman can subscribe to.
198 * Honour "-" prefix for InaccessibleDirectories= and ReadOnlyDirectories= to
199 suppress errors of the specified path doesn't exist
201 * dev-setup.c: when running in a container, create a tiny stub udev
202 database with the systemd tag set for all network interfaces found,
203 so that libudev reports them as present, and systemd's .device units
206 * merge unit_kill_common() and unit_kill_context()
208 * introduce ExecCondition= in services
211 - fsck hookup for the ESP mount is missing
212 - write man page for efi boot generator
213 - honor language efi variables for default language selection (if there are any?)
214 - honor timezone efi variables for default timezone selection (if there are any?)
215 - introduce bootctl (backed by systemd-bootd) to control temporary and persistent default boot goal plus efi variables
217 * maybe do not install getty@tty1.service symlink in /etc but in /usr?
219 * re-enable "make check" for gtk-doc (broken for unknown reason)
221 * fstab: add new mount option x-systemd-after=/foobar/waldo to allow manual dependencies to other mount points
222 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=812826
224 * print a nicer explanation if people use variable/specifier expansion in ExecStart= for the first word
226 * mount: turn dependency information from /proc/self/mountinfo into dependency information between systemd units.
229 - logind: optionally, ignore idle-hint logic for autosuspend, block suspend as long as a session is around
230 - When we update the kernel all kind of hibernation should be prohibited until shutdown/reboot
231 - logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
232 - Add pretty name for seats in logind
233 - logind: allow showing logout dialog from system?
234 - logind: spawn user@..service on login
235 - logind: non-local X11 server handling
236 - logind: add equivalent to sd_pid_get_owner_uid() to the D-Bus API
237 - pam: when leaving a session explicitly exclude the ReleaseSession() caller process from the killing spree
238 - logind: GetSessionByPID() should accept 0 as PID value
239 - we should probably handle SIGTERM/SIGINT to not leave dot files around, just in case
241 * exec: when deinitializating a tty device fix the perms and group, too, not only when initializing. Set access mode/gid to 0620/tty.
243 * DeviceAllow/DeviceDeny: disallow everything by default, but whitelist /dev/zero, /dev/null and friends
245 * service: watchdog logic: for testing purposes allow ping, but do not require pong
248 - do not use magic msync() in src/journal/journal-file.c, just call fsync()
249 <alxchk> poettering: looks like msync just calls vfs_fsync
250 http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/mm/msync.c#n18
251 - import and delete pstore filesystem content at startup
252 - journald: also get thread ID from client, plus thread name
253 - journal: when waiting for journal additions in the client always sleep at least 1s or so, in order to minimize wakeups
254 - add API to close/reopen/get fd for journal client fd in libsystemd-journal.
255 - fallback to /dev/log based logging in libsystemd-journal, if we can't log natively?
256 - declare the local journal protocol stable in the wiki interface chart
257 - journal: reuse XZ context
258 - sd-journal: speed up sd_journal_get_data() with transparent hash table in bg
259 - journald: when dropping msgs due to ratelimit make sure to write
260 "dropped %u messages" not only when we are about to print the next
261 message that works, but alraedy after a short tiemout
262 - check if we can make journalctl by default use --follow mode inside of less if called without args?
263 - maybe add API to send pairs of iovecs via sd_journal_send
264 - journal: when writing journal auto-rotate if time jumps backwards
265 - gatewayd: should run under its own UID
266 - journal: add a setgid "systemd-journal" utility to invoke from libsystemd-journal, which passes fds via STDOUT and does PK access
267 - journactl: support negative filtering, i.e. FOOBAR!="waldo",
268 and !FOOBAR for events without FOOBAR.
269 - journal: when rotating, copy over old acls/access mode
270 - journal: send out marker messages every now and then, and immediately sync with fdatasync() afterwards, in order to have hourly guaranteed syncs.
271 - 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.
272 - journal: find a way to allow dropping history early, based on priority, other rules
273 - journal: When used on NFS, check payload hashes
274 - journal: When used on NFS make sure wake up sd_journal_wait() every 2s, to handle missing inotify
275 - Introduce journalctl -b <nr> to show journal messages of a previous boot
276 - journald: check whether it is OK if the client can still modify delivered journal entries
277 - journal live copy, based on libneon (client) and libmicrohttpd (server)
278 - journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
279 - refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
280 - journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
281 - journal: deal nicely with byte-by-byte copied files, especially regards header
282 - journalctl: show multiline log messages sanely, expand tabs, and show all valid utf8 messages
283 - journal: store euid in journal if it differs from uid
284 - journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the components would fit
285 - journalctl: make journalctl smarter, and actually check groups that have access to /var/log/journal before printing message about recomming group membership for journal access
288 - document unit_name_mangle()
289 - document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fileds in
290 [Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
291 - man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
292 - Document word splitting syntax for ExecStart= and friends
293 - document that units from /etc override those from /usr and /run
294 - document the exit codes when services fail before they are exec()ed
295 - document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
296 - document in wiki how to map ical recurrence events to systemd timer unit calendar specifications
299 - systemctl list-jobs - show dependencies
300 - add systemctl switch to dump transaction without executing it
301 - Add a verbose mode to "systemctl start" and friends that explains what is being done or not done
302 - "systemctl disable" on a static unit prints no message and does
303 nothing. "systemctl enable" does nothing, and gives a bad message
304 about it. Should fix both to print nice actionable messages.
305 - print nice message from systemctl --failed if there are no entries shown, and hook that into ExecStartPre of rescue.service/emergency.service
306 - add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
307 - systemctl enable: improve the success messages (i.e. more human readable, less shell-like)
308 - systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into doesn't exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
309 - systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
310 - support "systemctl stop foobar@.service" to stop all units matching a certain template
311 - Something is wrong with symlink handling of "autovt@.service" in "systemctl list-unit-files"
312 - add configuration/switches to use
313 freeze (http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git) and
314 standby (https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=57793) as suspend modes
316 * introduce ntp.service (or suchlike) as symlink that is used to arbitrate between various NTP implementations
318 * deal with sendmail/postfix exclusivity
321 - configurable jitter for timer events
322 - timer events with system resume
323 - timer units should get the ability to trigger when:
324 o CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (TFD_TIMER_CANCEL_ON_SET)
326 - Support 2012-02~4 as syntax for specifying the fourth to last day of the month.
328 * update the kernel's TZ (sys_tz) when DST changes
330 * sync down the system time to the RTC when:
331 - CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (the user explicitely requested a time set)
332 - DST/timezone changes && ntp is active && RTC-in-localtime (never do it without ntp)
333 This takes care of syncing ntpdate updates to the RTC, and DST updates for localtime
334 mode, it will never touch the RTC if the no reliable time source is active or the
335 user did not request anything like it.
338 - implement conditional properties (dmi matches)
339 - hwdb --filter=ID_DRIVE_*
341 * if booted in "quiet" mode, and an error happens, turn on status
342 output again, so that the emergency mode isn't totally
343 surprising. Also, terminate plymouth.
345 * libunwind support for coredump pattern hook, and includes this in
346 the message for coredumps. After all, libunwind is now capable to
347 unwind coredumps since a few weeks ago. This probably requires that
348 we have nice support for multi-line messages on display in
349 logs-show.c. Alternatively: use libelfutil, which seems to be the
350 better supported alternative.
352 * figure out relation of --all and --full in the various tools
354 * add libsystemd-password or so to query passwords during boot using the password agent logic
356 * 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().
358 * fedup: add --unit to systemctl switch-root somehow
359 * fedup: don't delete initrd on switch-root
363 - timedated: refuse time changes when NTP is on
365 * clean up date formatting and parsing so that all absolute/relative timestamps we format can also be parsed
367 * introduce generic AUGMENT_PID=, AUGMENT_DEVICE= fields
369 * on shutdown: move utmp, wall, audit logic all into PID 1 (or logind?), get rid of systemd-update-utmp-runlevel
371 * add "provisioning" instructions to setup an empty /etc + /var
372 - used to setup a new container from a shared /usr
373 - superset of tmpfiles model
374 - instructions shipped by packages and stored in /usr/lib/
375 - compose /etc/passwd and /etc/group, copy files
376 - able to create uid + gid used by packages, for file ownership
378 * make repeated alt-ctrl-del presses printing a dump, or even force a reboot without
379 waiting for the timeout
381 * high level net_prio setting in execution context
383 * hostnamed: before returning information from /etc/machine-info.conf check the modification data and reread. Similar for localed, ...
385 * currently x-systemd.timeout is lost in the initrd, since crypttab is copied into dracut, but fstab isn't
387 * WorkingDirectory: support env var replacements like in ExecStart= so that people can use $HOME
389 * refuse boot if /etc/machine-id is not useful (or set taint?)
392 - nspawn: consider changing users for -u with su, so that NSS resolving works correctly
393 - nspawn: implement personality changes a la linux32(8)
394 - nspawn: --read-only is not applied recursively to submounts
395 - nspawn: make use of device cgroup controller by default
396 - bind mount read-only the cgroup tree higher than nspawn
397 - nspawn: investigate whether we can support the same as LXC's
398 lxc.network.type=phys mode, and pass through entire network
399 interfaces to the container
400 - nspawn: maybe add a way to drop additional caps, in addition to add additional caps
401 - nspawn: maybe explicitly reset loginuid?
402 - nspawn: move all containers to name=systemd:/containers/, and introduce externally visible names for containers
403 - nspawn: make it work for dwalsh and shared /usr containers -- tmpfs mounts as command line parameters, selinux exec context
406 - cryptsetup-generator: warn if the password files are world-readable
407 - cryptsetup-generator: allow specification of passwords in crypttab itself
408 - move cryptsetup key caching into kernel keyctl?
409 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54982
410 - when key file cannot be found, read it from kbd in cryptsetup
412 * move debug shell to tty6 and make sure this doesn't break the gettys on tty6
414 * hw watchdog: optionally try to use the preset watchdog timeout instead of always overriding it
415 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54712
417 * after deserializing sockets in socket.c we should reapply sockopts and things
419 * make timer units go away after they elapsed
421 * http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2012-September/006502.html
422 (network and remote-fs on shutdown)
424 * come up with a nice way to write queue/read_ahead_kb for a block device without interfering with readahead
426 * move PID 1 segfaults to /var/lib/systemd/coredump?
428 * create /sbin/init symlinks from the build system
430 * Query Paul Moore about relabelling socket fds while they are open
432 * system.conf should have controls for cgroups
434 * allow writing multiple conditions in unit files on one line
436 * explore multiple service instances per listening socket idea
438 * shutdown: don't read-only mount anything when running in container
440 * MountFlags=shared acts as MountFlags=slave right now.
442 * ReadOnlyDirectories= is not applied recursively to submounts
444 * drop PID 1 reloading, only do reexecing (difficult: Reload()
445 currently is properly synchronous, Reexec() is weird, because we
446 can't delay the response properly until we are back, so instead of
447 being properly synchronous we just keep open the fd and close it
448 when done. That means clients don't get a successful method reply,
449 but much rather a disconnect on success.
451 * remember which condition failed for services, not just the fact that something failed
453 * use opterr = 0 for all getopt tools
455 * properly handle loop back mounts via fstab, especially regards to fsck/passno
457 * allow services with no ExecStart= but with an ExecStop=
459 * dracut-shutdown needs to be ordered before unmounting /boot
461 * initialize the hostname from the fs label of /, if /etc/hostname does not exist?
463 * rename "userspace" to "core-os"
466 - syscall filter: add knowledge about compat syscalls
467 - syscall filter: don't enforce no new privs?
468 - syscall filter: option to return EPERM rather than SIGSYS?
469 - syscall filter: port to libseccomp
470 - system-wide seccomp filter
472 * .device aliases need to be implemented with the "following" logic, probably.
474 * load-fragment: when loading a unit file via a chain of symlinks
475 verify that it isn't masked via any of the names traversed.
477 * introduce Type=pid-file
479 * maybe allow services with ExecStop= set, but no ExecStart=?
481 * change Requires=basic.target to RequisiteOverride=basic.target
483 * support rd.luks.allow-discards= kernel cmdline params in cryptsetup generator
485 * drop accountsservice's StandardOutput=syslog and Type=dbus fields
487 * when breaking cycles drop sysv services first, then services from /run, then from /etc, then from /usr
489 * move passno parsing to fstab generator
491 * automount: implement expire:
492 - set superblock timeout AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_TIMEOUT_CMD
493 - periodically run AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_EXPIRE_CMD
494 - every timeout/4 (original autofs logic)
495 - blocking, needs a thread
497 - receive expire packet on pipe if kernel tells the timeout is over
499 - answer expire packet on pipe with AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_{READY,FAIL}_CMD
500 - AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_EXPIRE_CMD returns
502 * services which create their own subcgroups break cgroup-empty notification (needs to be fixed in the kernel)
504 * ExecOnFailure=/usr/bin/foo
506 * ConditionSecurity= should learn about IMA and SMACK
509 - remove src/udev/udev-builtin-firmware.c (CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER=n)
511 - unify utf8 validator code with shared/
513 - add trigger --subsystem-match=usb/usb_device device
515 * cleanup syslog 'priority' vs. 'level' wording
517 * dbus upstream still refers to dbus.target and shouldn't
519 * 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
521 * support container_ttys=
523 * introduce mix of BindTo and Requisite
525 * add DeleteSocketsOnStop=yes|no option to socket units
527 * There's currently no way to cancel fsck (used to be possible via C-c or c on the console)
529 * add option to sockets to avoid activation. Instead just drop packets/connections, see http://cyberelk.net/tim/2012/02/15/portreserve-systemd-solution/
531 * default unix qlen is too small (10). bump sysctl? add sockopt?
533 * figure out whether we should leave dbus around during shutdown
535 * dbus: in fedora, make /var/lib/dbus/machine-id a symlink to /etc/machine-id
537 * dbus: move dbus to early boot
539 * save coredump in Windows/Mozilla minidump format
541 * support crash reporting operation modes (https://live.gnome.org/GnomeOS/Design/Whiteboards/ProblemReporting)
543 * clean up session cgroups that remain after logout (think sshd), but eventually run empty
545 * when an instanced service exits, remove its parent cgroup too if possible.
547 * default to actual 32bit PIDs, via /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max
549 * be able to specify a forced restart of service A where service B depends on, in case B
550 needs to be auto-respawned?
552 * when a bus name of a service disappears from the bus make sure to queue further activation requests
554 * tmpfiles: apply "x" on "D" too (see patch from William Douglas)
556 * for services: don't set $HOME in services unless requested
558 * hide PAM/TCPWrap options in fragment parser when compile time disabled
560 * when we automatically restart a service, ensure we restart its rdeps, too.
562 * allow Type=simple with PIDFile=
563 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=723942
565 * move PAM code into its own binary
567 * implement Register= switch in .socket units to enable registration
568 in Avahi, RPC and other socket registration services.
570 * make sure systemd-ask-password-wall does not shutdown systemd-ask-password-console too early
572 * support sd_notify() style notification when reload begins (RELOADING=1), reload is finished (READY=1), and add ReloadSignal= then to use in combination
574 * support sd_notify() style notification when shutting down, to make auto-exit bus services work (STOPPING=1)
576 * verify that the AF_UNIX sockets of a service in the fs still exist
577 when we start a service in order to avoid confusion when a user
578 assumes starting a service is enough to make it accessible
580 * Make it possible to set the keymap independently from the font on
581 the kernel cmdline. Right now setting one resets also the other.
583 * and a dbus call to generate target from current state
586 - drop /.readahead on bigger upgrades with yum
587 - move readahead files into /var (look for them with .path units?)
588 - readahead: use BTRFS_IOC_DEFRAG_RANGE instead of BTRFS_IOC_DEFRAG ioctl, with START_IO
589 - readahead: when bumping /sys readahead variable save mtime and compare later to detect changes
590 - readahead: make use of EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT, as used by http://e4rat.sourceforge.net/
592 * add support for /bin/mount -s
594 * GC unreferenced jobs (such as .device jobs)
596 * write blog stories about:
597 - hwdb: what belongs into it, lsusb
598 - enabling dbus services
600 - how to make changes to sysctl and sysfs attributes
602 - how to pass throw-away units to systemd, or dynamically change properties of existing units
603 - how to integrate cgconfig and suchlike with systemd
604 - testing with Harald's awesome test kit
606 - how to develop against journal browsing APIs
607 - the journal HTTP iface
608 - non-cgroup resource management
609 - dynamic resource management with cgroups
610 - refreshed, longer missions statement
611 - calendar time events
612 - init=/bin/sh vs. "emergency" mode, vs. "rescue" mode, vs. "multi-user" mode, vs. "graphical" mode, and the debug shell
613 - how to create your own target
614 - instantiated apache, dovecot and so on
615 - hooking a script into various stages of shutdown/rearly booot
617 * allow port=0 in .socket units
619 * support systemd.mask= on the kernel command line.
621 * reuse mkdtemp namespace dirs in /tmp?
623 * recreate systemd's D-Bus private socket file on SIGUSR2
625 * Support --test based on current system state
627 * investigate whether the gnome pty helper should be moved into systemd, to provide cgroup support.
629 * maybe introduce ExecRestartPre=
631 * dot output for --test showing the 'initial transaction'
633 * port over to LISTEN_FDS/LISTEN_PID:
634 - rpcbind (/var/run/rpcbind.sock!) HAVEPATCH
638 - libvirtd (/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock-ro)
639 - bluetoothd (/var/run/sdp! @/org/bluez/audio!)
642 * fingerprint.target, wireless.target, gps.target, netdevice.target
644 * io priority during initialization
646 * drop cap bounding set in readahead and other services
649 - figure out a simple way to wait for journal events in a way that
651 - add documentation to systemd.daemon
657 - natively watch for dbus-*.service symlinks (PENDING)
658 - allow specification of socket mode/umask when allocating DBusServer
659 - allow disabling of fd passing when connecting a AF_UNIX connection
660 - allow disabling of UID passing for AUTH EXTERNAL
661 - always pass cred data along each message
662 - teach dbus to activate all services it finds in /etc/systemd/services/org-*.service
664 * fix alsa mixer restore to not print error when no config is stored
666 * make cryptsetup lower --iter-time
668 * patch kernel for xattr support in /dev, /proc/, /sys?
670 * NTP: the kernel's 11-minutes-mode syncs the system time to the RTC, but only
671 in an ~30 minutes window. It does not adjust larger differences. Find a way
672 to tell the kernel, to always do a full time sync when the RTC is in UTC and
673 we are in 11-minutes-mode. When we trust the system time to NTP we also want
676 * kernel: add device_type = "fb", "fbcon" to class "graphics"
679 - plot per-process IO utilization
680 - group processes based on service association (cgroups)
681 - document initcall_debug
682 - put bootcharts in the journal
683 - kernel cmdline "bootchart" option for simplicity?
687 * look for close() vs. close_nointr() vs. close_nointr_nofail()
689 * check for strerror(r) instead of strerror(-r)
691 * Use PR_SET_PROCTITLE_AREA if it becomes available in the kernel
693 * %m in printf() instead of strerror(errno);
697 * set_put(), hashmap_put() return values check. i.e. == 0 doesn't free()!
699 * use secure_getenv() instead of getenv() where appropriate
701 * link up selected blog stories from man pages and unit files Documentation= fields
703 Scheduled for removal or fixing:
705 * xxxOverridable dependencies (probably: fix)
