2 * enabling an instance unit creates a pointless link, and
3 the unit will be started with getty@getty.service:
4 $ systemctl enable getty@.service
5 ln -s '/usr/lib/systemd/system/getty@.service' '/etc/systemd/system/getty.target.wants/getty@.service'
7 * Dangling symlinks of .automount unit files in .wants/ directories, set up
8 automount points even when the original .automount file did not exist
9 anymore. Only the .mount unit was still around.
11 * properly handle .mount unit state tracking when two mount points are stacked one on top of another on the exact same mount point.
13 * shorten the message to sane length:
15 Cannot add dependency job for unit display-manager.service, ignoring: Unit display-manager.service failed to load: No such file or directory. See system logs and 'systemctl status display-manager.service' for details.
17 * systemctl --root=container/ set-default ... is totally borked.
21 * Fedora: when installing fedora with yum --installroot /var/run is a directory, not a symlink
22 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=975864
24 * Fedora: add an rpmlint check that verifies that all unit files in the RPM are listed in %systemd_post macros.
26 * Fedora: post FPC ticket to move add %tmpfiles_create to the packaging guidelines
30 * add bus api to query unit file's X fields.
32 * consider adding RuntimeDirectoryUser= + RuntimeDirectoryGroup=
34 * sd-event: define more intervals where we will shift wakeup intervals around in, 1h, 6h, 24h, ...
36 * maybe add DefaultTimerAccuracySec= as global config option to set AccuracySec='s default value in .timer units
39 - Support LUKS for root devices
40 - Define new partition type for encrypted swap? Support probed LUKS for encrypted swap?
41 - Make /home automount rather than mount?
43 * improve journalctl performance by loading journal files
44 lazily. Encode just enough information in the file name, so that we
45 don't have to open it to know that it is not interesting for us, for
46 the most common operations.
48 * support transient mount units
50 * Imply DevicePolicy=closed when PrivateDevices= is used. Mount
51 pts+kdbus+shm+mqueue into /dev namespace
53 * add an "input" group to udev logic and add all input devices to it
55 * machined: provide calls GetMachineByAddress() on the manager
56 interface to get the machine for a local IP address, and
57 GetAddress() on the Machine interface to get the Address for a
58 machine. Implement via forking off child process which quickly joins
59 the cotnainer and passes data to parent. Show this in "machinectl
60 status", and use it to implement NSS module to provide automatic
61 name resolution for containers.
63 * add generator that pulls in systemd-network from containers when
64 CAP_NET_ADMIN is set, more than the loopback device is defined, even
65 when it is otherwise off
67 * MessageQueueMessageSize= and RLimitFSIZE= (and suchlike) should use parse_iec_size().
69 * "busctl status" works only as root on dbus1, since we cannot read
72 * systemctl: support --recursive for list-sockets, list-timers,
73 ... too, not just for list-units.
75 * implement Distribute= in socket units to allow running multiple
76 service instances processing the listening socket, and open this up
79 * socket units: support creating sockets in different namespace,
80 opening it up for JoinsNamespaceOf=. This would require to fork off
81 a tiny process that joins the namespace and creates/binds the socket
82 and passes this back to PID1 via SCM_RIGHTS. This also could be used
83 to allow Chown/chgrp on sockets without requiring NSS in PID 1.
85 * New service property: maximum CPU and wallclock runtime for a service
87 * introduce bus call FreezeUnit(s, b), as well as "systemctl freeze
88 $UNIT" and "systemctl thaw $UNIT" as wrappers around this. The calls
89 should SIGSTOP all unit processes in a loop until all processes of
90 it are fully stopped. This can later be used for app management by
91 desktop UIs such as gnome-shell to freeze apps that are not visible
92 on screen, not unlike how job control works on the shell
95 - busctl zsh completion is outdated
96 - systemd-nspawn -Z/-L/-q is missing for zsh
97 - manager property enumeration was broken when systemd moved to /usr/lib/
100 - implement per-slice CPUFairScheduling=1 switch
101 - handle jointly mounted controllers correctly
102 - introduce high-level settings for RT budget, swappiness
103 - how to reset dynamically changed unit cgroup attributes sanely?
104 - when reloading configuration, apply new cgroup configuration
105 - when recursively showing the cgroup hierarchy, optionally also show
106 the hierarchies of child processes
109 - allow creating auxiliary units with the same call
110 - add field to transient units that indicate whether systemd or somebody else saves/restores its settings, for integration with libvirt
111 - ensure scope units may be started only a single time
113 * Automatically configure swap partition to use for hibernation by looking for largest swap partition on the root disk?
115 * when we detect low battery and no AC on boot, show pretty splash and refuse boot
117 * machined, localed: when we try to kill an empty cgroup, generate an ESRCH error over the bus
119 * libsystemd-journal, libsystemd-login, libudev: add calls to easily attach these objects to sd-event event loops
121 * be more careful what we export on the bus as (usec_t) 0 and (usec_t) -1
123 * unify dispatch table in systemctl_main() and friends
125 * Automatically configure swap partition to use for hibernation by looking for largest swap partition on the root disk?
127 * socket-proxyd: Use sd-resolve to resolve the server address
129 * 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
131 * After coming back from hibernation reset hibernation swap partition using the /dev/snapshot ioctl APIs
133 * If we try to find a unit via a dangling symlink, generate a clean
134 error. Currently, we just ignore it and read the unit from the search
137 * refuse boot if /etc/os-release is missing or /etc/machine-id cannot be set up
139 * given that logind now lets PID 1 do all nasty work, we can
140 probably reduce the capability set it retains substantially.
141 (we need CAP_SYS_ADMIN for drmSetMaster(), so maybe not worth it)
143 * btrfs raid assembly: some .device jobs stay stuck in the queue
145 * make sure gdm doesn't use multi-user-x but the new default X configuration file, and then remove multi-user-x from systemd
147 * man: the documentation of Restart= currently is very misleading and suggests the tools from ExecStartPre= might get restarted.
149 * load .d/*.conf dropins for device units
151 * gparted needs to disable auto-activation of mount units somehow, or
152 maybe we should stop doing auto-activation of this after boot
153 entirely. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=701676
154 Maybe take a BSD lock at the disk device node and teach udev to
155 check for that and suppress event handling.
157 * allow implementation of InaccessibleDirectories=/ plus
158 ReadOnlyDirectories=... for whitelisting files for a service.
161 - when kdbus doesn't take our message without memfds, try again with memfds
162 - implement monitor logic
163 - see if we can drop more message validation on the sending side
164 - add API to clone sd_bus_message objects
165 - systemd-bus-proxyd needs to enforce good old XML policy
166 - upload minimal kdbus policy into the kernel at boot
167 - kdbus: matches against source or destination pids for an "strace -p"-like feel. Problem: The PID info needs to be available in userspace too...
168 - longer term: priority inheritance
169 - check sender of response messages
172 - NameLost/NameAcquired obsolete
174 - "const" properties (posted)
176 - port exit-on-idle logic to byebye ioctl
177 - update systemd.special(7) to mention that dbus.socket is only about the compatibility socket now
178 - allow updating attach flags during runtime
179 - pid1: peek into activating message when activating a service
180 - test bloom filter generation indexes
181 - introduce sd_bus_emit_object_added()/sd_bus_emit_object_removed() that automatically includes the build-in interfaces in the list
182 - port to sd-resolve for connecting to TCP dbus servers
183 - constructors for bus messages should probably not be OK with a NULL bus pointer
184 - .busname units should not use get_user_creds()/get_cgroup_creds() but instead do NSS only in temporarily forked off child
187 - allow multiple signal handlers per signal?
189 * in the final killing spree, detect processes from the root directory, and
190 complain loudly if they have argv[0][0] == '@' set.
191 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=961044
193 * investigate endianness issues of UUID vs. GUID
195 * dbus: when a unit failed to load (i.e. is in UNIT_ERROR state), we
196 should be able to safely try another attempt when the bus call LoadUnit() is invoked.
198 * add a pam module that passes the hdd passphrase into the PAM stack and then expires it, for usage by gdm auto-login.
200 * add a pam module that on password changes updates any LUKS slot where the password matches
202 * maybe add a generator that looks for "systemd.run=" on the kernel cmdline for container usercases...
204 * timedatctl, localectl: possibly make some commands work without the daemon, for chroot situations...
206 * timedatectl: print a nicer message when enabling ntp fails because ntpd/chrony are not installed
208 * cgtop: make cgtop useful in a container
211 - add 'set -e' to scripts in test/
212 - make stuff in test/ work with separate output dir
214 * systemctl delete x.snapshot leaves no trace in logs (at least at default level).
216 * make the coredump collector tool move itself into the user's cgroup
217 so that the coredump is properly written to the user's own journal
220 * seems that when we follow symlinks to units we prefer the symlink
221 destination path over /etc and /usr. We shouldn't do that. Instead
222 /etc should always override /run+/usr and also any symlink
225 * when isolating, try to figure out a way how we implicitly can order
226 all units we stop before the isolating unit...
228 * teach ConditionKernelCommandLine= globs or regexes (in order to match foobar={no,0,off})
230 * after all byte-wise realloc() is slow, even on glibc, so i guess we
231 need manual exponential loops after all
233 * BootLoaderSpec: drop allowing ext234 for $BOOT. Clarify that the
234 kernel has to be in $BOOT. Clarify that the boot loader should be
235 installed to the ESP. Define a way how an installer can figure out
236 whether a BLS compliant boot loader is installed.
238 * think about requeuing jobs when daemon-reload is issued? usecase:
239 the initrd issues a reload after fstab from the host is accessible
240 and we might want to requeue the mounts local-fs acquired through
243 * systemd-inhibit: make taking delay locks useful: support sending SIGINT or SIGTERM on PrepareForSleep()
245 * journal-or-kmsg is currently broken? See reverted commit 4a01181e460686d8b4a543b1dfa7f77c9e3c5ab8.
247 * remove any syslog support from log.c -- we probably can't do this before split-off udev is gone for good
249 * shutdown logging: store to EFI var, and store to USB stick?
251 * write UI tool that pops up emergency messages from the journal as notification
253 * think about window-manager-run-as-user-service problem: exit 0 → activate shutdown.target; exit != 0 → restart service
255 * use "log level" rather than "log priority" everywhere
257 * timedate: have global on/off switches for auto-time (NTP), and auto-timezone that connman can subscribe to.
259 * merge unit_kill_common() and unit_kill_context()
261 * introduce ExecCondition= in services
264 - write man page for efi boot generator
265 - honor language efi variables for default language selection (if there are any?)
266 - honor timezone efi variables for default timezone selection (if there are any?)
267 - change bootctl to be backed by systemd-bootd to control temporary and persistent default boot goal plus efi variables
269 * maybe do not install getty@tty1.service symlink in /etc but in /usr?
271 * re-enable "make check" for gtk-doc (broken for unknown reason)
273 * fstab: add new mount option x-systemd-after=/foobar/waldo to allow manual dependencies to other mount points
274 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=812826
276 * print a nicer explanation if people use variable/specifier expansion in ExecStart= for the first word
278 * mount: turn dependency information from /proc/self/mountinfo into dependency information between systemd units.
281 - logind: optionally, ignore idle-hint logic for autosuspend, block suspend as long as a session is around
282 - When we update the kernel all kind of hibernation should be prohibited until shutdown/reboot
283 - logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
284 - Add pretty name for seats in logind
285 - logind: allow showing logout dialog from system?
286 - logind: add equivalent to sd_pid_get_owner_uid() to the D-Bus API
287 - we should probably handle SIGTERM/SIGINT to not leave dot files around, just in case
288 - session scopes/user unit: add RequiresMountsFor for the home directory of the user
289 - add Suspend() bus calls which take timestamps to fix double suspend issues when somebody hits suspend and closes laptop quickly.
290 - if pam_systemd is invoked by su from a process that is outside of a
291 any session we should probably just become a NOP, since that's
292 usually not a real user session but just some system code that just
295 * exec: when deinitializating a tty device fix the perms and group, too, not only when initializing. Set access mode/gid to 0620/tty.
297 * service: watchdog logic: for testing purposes allow ping, but do not require pong
300 - import and delete pstore filesystem content at startup
301 - journald: also get thread ID from client, plus thread name
302 - journal: when waiting for journal additions in the client always sleep at least 1s or so, in order to minimize wakeups
303 - add API to close/reopen/get fd for journal client fd in libsystemd-journal.
304 - fallback to /dev/log based logging in libsystemd-journal, if we can't log natively?
305 - declare the local journal protocol stable in the wiki interface chart
306 - journal: reuse XZ context
307 - sd-journal: speed up sd_journal_get_data() with transparent hash table in bg
308 - journald: when dropping msgs due to ratelimit make sure to write
309 "dropped %u messages" not only when we are about to print the next
310 message that works, but alraedy after a short tiemout
311 - check if we can make journalctl by default use --follow mode inside of less if called without args?
312 - maybe add API to send pairs of iovecs via sd_journal_send
313 - journal: when writing journal auto-rotate if time jumps backwards
314 - journal: add a setgid "systemd-journal" utility to invoke from libsystemd-journal, which passes fds via STDOUT and does PK access
315 - journactl: support negative filtering, i.e. FOOBAR!="waldo",
316 and !FOOBAR for events without FOOBAR.
317 - journal: send out marker messages every now and then, and immediately sync with fdatasync() afterwards, in order to have hourly guaranteed syncs.
318 - 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.
319 - journal: find a way to allow dropping history early, based on priority, other rules
320 - journal: When used on NFS, check payload hashes
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 - journal: store euid in journal if it differs from uid
328 - journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the components would fit
329 - Replace utmp, wtmp, btmp, and lastlog completely with journal
330 - journalctl: instead --after-cursor= maybe have a --cursor=XYZ+1 syntax?
331 - tmpfiles: when applying ownership to /run/log/journal, also do this for the journal fails contained in it
332 - when a kernel driver logs in a tight loop, we should ratelimit that too.
333 - journald: optionally, log debug messages to /run but everything else to /var
334 - journald: when we drop syslog messages because the syslog socket is
335 full, make sure to write how many messages are lost as first thing
336 to syslog when it works again.
337 - journald: make sure ratelimit is actually really per-service with the new cgroup changes
338 - change systemd-journal-flush into a service that stays around during
339 boot, and causes the journal to be moved back to /run on shutdown,
340 so that we don't keep /var busy. This needs to happen synchronously,
341 hence doing this via signals is not going to work.
344 - document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fields in
345 [Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
346 - man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
347 - document the exit codes when services fail before they are exec()ed
348 - document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
349 - document in wiki how to map ical recurrence events to systemd timer unit calendar specifications
350 - add a man page containing packaging guidelines and recommending usage of things like Documentation=, PrivateTmp=, PrivateNetwork= and ReadOnlyDirectories=/etc /usr.
351 - document systemd-journal-flush.service properly
352 - documentation: recommend to connect the timer units of a service to the service via Also= in [Install]
353 - man: document the very specific env the shutdown drop-in tools live in
354 - man: extend runlevel(8) to mention that runlevels suck, and are dead. Maybe add runlevel(7) with a note about that too
355 - man: add more examples to man pages
356 - man: maybe sort directives in man pages, and take sections from --help and apply them to man too
359 - systemctl list-jobs - show dependencies
360 - add systemctl switch to dump transaction without executing it
361 - Add a verbose mode to "systemctl start" and friends that explains what is being done or not done
362 - "systemctl disable" on a static unit prints no message and does
363 nothing. "systemctl enable" does nothing, and gives a bad message
364 about it. Should fix both to print nice actionable messages.
365 - print nice message from systemctl --failed if there are no entries shown, and hook that into ExecStartPre of rescue.service/emergency.service
366 - add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
367 - systemctl enable: improve the success messages (i.e. more human readable, less shell-like)
368 - systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into doesn't exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
369 - systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
370 - support "systemctl stop foobar@.service" to stop all units matching a certain template
371 - Something is wrong with symlink handling of "autovt@.service" in "systemctl list-unit-files"
372 - rework wait filter to not require match callback
373 - better error message if you run systemctl without systemd running
374 - systemctl status output should should include list of triggering units and their status
375 - in systemctl list-timers show time triggering units ran last
378 - "systemctl mask" should find all names by which a unit is accessible
379 (i.e. by scanning for symlinks to it) and link them all to /dev/null
380 - "systemctl disable" of a unit instance removes all symlinks, but should
381 only remove the instance symlink (systemctl disable of a template
382 unit however should remove them all).
383 - systemctl list-unit-files should list generated files (and probably with a new state "generated" for them, or so)
384 - systemctl: maybe add "systemctl add-wants" or so...
386 * introduce ntp.service (or suchlike) as symlink that is used to arbitrate between various NTP implementations
388 * deal with sendmail/postfix exclusivity
391 - timer events with system resume
392 - timer units should get the ability to trigger when:
393 o CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (TFD_TIMER_CANCEL_ON_SET)
395 - Support 2012-02~4 as syntax for specifying the fourth to last day of the month.
396 - calendarspec: support value ranges with ".." notation. Example: 2013-4..8-1
397 - when parsing calendar timestamps support the UTC timezone (even if we won't support arbitrary timezone specs, support UTC itself certainly makes sense), also support syntaxes such as +0200
398 - Modulate timer frequency based on battery state
399 - anacron-like feature
401 * update the kernel's TZ (sys_tz) when DST changes
403 * sync down the system time to the RTC when:
404 - CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (the user explicitely requested a time set)
405 - DST/timezone changes && ntp is active && RTC-in-localtime (never do it without ntp)
406 This takes care of syncing ntpdate updates to the RTC, and DST updates for localtime
407 mode, it will never touch the RTC if the no reliable time source is active or the
408 user did not request anything like it.
410 * libunwind support for coredump pattern hook, and includes this in
411 the message for coredumps. After all, libunwind is now capable to
412 unwind coredumps since a few weeks ago. This probably requires that
413 we have nice support for multi-line messages on display in
414 logs-show.c. Alternatively: use libelfutil, which seems to be the
415 better supported alternative.
417 * add libsystemd-password or so to query passwords during boot using the password agent logic
419 * 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().
421 * fedup: add --unit to systemctl switch-root somehow
422 * fedup: don't delete initrd on switch-root
425 * timedated: refuse time changes when NTP is on
427 * clean up date formatting and parsing so that all absolute/relative timestamps we format can also be parsed
429 * on shutdown: move utmp, wall, audit logic all into PID 1 (or logind?), get rid of systemd-update-utmp-runlevel
431 * add "provisioning" instructions to setup an empty /etc + /var
432 - used to setup a new container from a shared /usr
433 - superset of tmpfiles model
434 - instructions shipped by packages and stored in /usr/lib/
435 - compose /etc/passwd and /etc/group, copy files
436 - able to create uid + gid used by packages, for file ownership
438 * make repeated alt-ctrl-del presses printing a dump, or even force a reboot without
439 waiting for the timeout
441 * hostnamed: before returning information from /etc/machine-info.conf check the modification data and reread. Similar for localed, ...
443 * currently x-systemd.timeout is lost in the initrd, since crypttab is copied into dracut, but fstab isn't
446 - nspawn: --read-only is not applied recursively to submounts
447 - bind mount read-only the cgroup tree higher than nspawn
448 - nspawn: make it work for dwalsh and shared /usr containers -- tmpfs mounts as command line parameters
449 - refuses to boot containers without /etc/machine-id (OK?), and with empty /etc/machine-id (not OK).
450 - support taking a btrfs snapshot at startup and dropping it afterwards
451 - maybe: hookup nspawn and PrivateNetwork=yes with "ip netns"
452 - generate predictable mac addresses for the netdev we create (host0), maybe based on guest's machine
453 name and machine-id of host (?)
456 - cryptsetup-generator: allow specification of passwords in crypttab itself
457 - move cryptsetup key caching into kernel keyctl?
458 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54982
459 - support rd.luks.allow-discards= kernel cmdline params in cryptsetup generator
461 * hw watchdog: optionally try to use the preset watchdog timeout instead of always overriding it
462 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54712
464 * after deserializing sockets in socket.c we should reapply sockopts and things
466 * make timer units go away after they elapsed
468 * http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2012-September/006502.html
469 (network and remote-fs on shutdown)
471 * come up with a nice way to write queue/read_ahead_kb for a block device without interfering with readahead
473 * move PID 1 segfaults to /var/lib/systemd/coredump?
475 * create /sbin/init symlinks from the build system
477 * Query Paul Moore about relabelling socket fds while they are open
479 * allow writing multiple conditions in unit files on one line
481 * explore multiple service instances per listening socket idea
483 * MountFlags=shared acts as MountFlags=slave right now.
485 * ReadOnlyDirectories= is not applied recursively to submounts
487 * drop PID 1 reloading, only do reexecing (difficult: Reload()
488 currently is properly synchronous, Reexec() is weird, because we
489 can't delay the response properly until we are back, so instead of
490 being properly synchronous we just keep open the fd and close it
491 when done. That means clients don't get a successful method reply,
492 but much rather a disconnect on success.
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"
504 * load-fragment: when loading a unit file via a chain of symlinks
505 verify that it isn't masked via any of the names traversed.
507 * introduce Type=pid-file
509 * change Requires=basic.target to RequisiteOverride=basic.target
511 * when breaking cycles drop sysv services first, then services from /run, then from /etc, then from /usr
513 * automount: implement expire:
514 - set superblock timeout AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_TIMEOUT_CMD
515 - periodically run AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_EXPIRE_CMD
516 - every timeout/4 (original autofs logic)
517 - blocking, needs a thread
519 - receive expire packet on pipe if kernel tells the timeout is over
521 - answer expire packet on pipe with AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_{READY,FAIL}_CMD
522 - AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_EXPIRE_CMD returns
524 * ExecOnFailure=/usr/bin/foo
527 - remove src/udev/udev-builtin-firmware.c (CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER=n)
530 - add trigger --subsystem-match=usb/usb_device device
531 - reimport udev db after MOVE events for devices without dev_t
533 * 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
535 * introduce mix of BindTo and Requisite
537 * add DeleteSocketsOnStop=yes|no option to socket units
539 * There's currently no way to cancel fsck (used to be possible via C-c or c on the console)
541 * add option to sockets to avoid activation. Instead just drop packets/connections, see http://cyberelk.net/tim/2012/02/15/portreserve-systemd-solution/
543 * default unix qlen is too small (10). bump sysctl? add sockopt?
545 * save coredump in Windows/Mozilla minidump format
547 * support crash reporting operation modes (https://live.gnome.org/GnomeOS/Design/Whiteboards/ProblemReporting)
549 * default to actual 32bit PIDs, via /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max
551 * be able to specify a forced restart of service A where service B depends on, in case B
552 needs to be auto-respawned?
554 * when a bus name of a service disappears from the bus make sure to queue further activation requests
557 - check systemd-tmpfiles for selinux context hookup for mknod(), symlink() and similar
558 - apply "x" on "D" too (see patch from William Douglas)
560 * for services: don't set $HOME in services unless requested
562 * hide PAM/TCPWrap options in fragment parser when compile time disabled
564 * when we automatically restart a service, ensure we restart its rdeps, too.
566 * allow Type=simple with PIDFile=
567 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=723942
569 * move PAM code into its own binary
571 * implement Register= switch in .socket units to enable registration
572 in Avahi, RPC and other socket registration services.
574 * make sure systemd-ask-password-wall does not shutdown systemd-ask-password-console too early
576 * support sd_notify() style notification when reload begins (RELOADING=1), reload is finished (READY=1), and add ReloadSignal= then to use in combination
578 * support sd_notify() style notification when shutting down, to make auto-exit bus services work (STOPPING=1)
580 * verify that the AF_UNIX sockets of a service in the fs still exist
581 when we start a service in order to avoid confusion when a user
582 assumes starting a service is enough to make it accessible
584 * support User= and Group= attributes for AF_UNIX sockets. (difficult, requires NSS from PID 1?)
586 * Make it possible to set the keymap independently from the font on
587 the kernel cmdline. Right now setting one resets also the other.
589 * and a dbus call to generate target from current state
592 - drop /.readahead on bigger upgrades with yum
593 - move readahead files into /var (look for them with .path units?)
594 - readahead: use BTRFS_IOC_DEFRAG_RANGE instead of BTRFS_IOC_DEFRAG ioctl, with START_IO
595 - readahead: when bumping /sys readahead variable save mtime and compare later to detect changes
596 - readahead: make use of EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT, as used by http://e4rat.sourceforge.net/
598 * add support for /bin/mount -s
600 * GC unreferenced jobs (such as .device jobs)
602 * write blog stories about:
603 - hwdb: what belongs into it, lsusb
604 - enabling dbus services
606 - how to make changes to sysctl and sysfs attributes
608 - how to pass throw-away units to systemd, or dynamically change properties of existing units
609 - how to integrate cgconfig and suchlike with systemd
610 - testing with Harald's awesome test kit
612 - how to develop against journal browsing APIs
613 - the journal HTTP iface
614 - non-cgroup resource management
615 - dynamic resource management with cgroups
616 - refreshed, longer missions statement
617 - calendar time events
618 - init=/bin/sh vs. "emergency" mode, vs. "rescue" mode, vs. "multi-user" mode, vs. "graphical" mode, and the debug shell
619 - how to create your own target
620 - instantiated apache, dovecot and so on
621 - hooking a script into various stages of shutdown/rearly booot
623 * allow port=0 in .socket units
625 * support systemd.mask= on the kernel command line.
627 * recreate systemd's D-Bus private socket file on SIGUSR2
629 * Support --test based on current system state
631 * investigate whether the gnome pty helper should be moved into systemd, to provide cgroup support.
633 * maybe introduce ExecRestartPre=
635 * dot output for --test showing the 'initial transaction'
637 * fingerprint.target, wireless.target, gps.target, netdevice.target
639 * io priority during initialization
641 * drop cap bounding set in readahead and other services
644 - figure out a simple way to wait for journal events in a way that
646 - add documentation to systemd.daemon
649 - plot per-process IO utilization
650 - group processes based on service association (cgroups)
651 - document initcall_debug
652 - kernel cmdline "bootchart" option for simplicity?
655 - Make sure ID_PATH is always exported and complete for
656 network devices where possible, so we can safely rely
660 - add support for exiting containers without reading them fully first
661 - add support for more attribute types
664 - make sure RTM_NEWLINK messages match both the ifname and kind when setting the ifindex of a netdev
665 - add more keys to [Route] and [Address] sections
666 - add support for more DHCPv4 options (and, longer term, other kinds of dynamic config)
667 - add proper initrd support (in particular generate .network/.link files based on /proc/cmdline)
668 - add reduced [Link] support to .network files
669 - add IPv4LL tests (inspire by DHCP)
670 - add Scope= parsing option for [Network]
671 - change LL address generation and make it predictable like get_mac() (link-config.c)
672 - have smooth transition from LL to routable address, without disconnecting clients.
677 - natively watch for dbus-*.service symlinks (PENDING)
678 - teach dbus to activate all services it finds in /etc/systemd/services/org-*.service
680 * fix alsa mixer restore to not print error when no config is stored
682 * make cryptsetup lower --iter-time
684 * patch kernel for xattr support in /dev, /proc/, /sys?
686 * NTP: the kernel's 11-minutes-mode syncs the system time to the RTC, but only
687 in an ~30 minutes window. It does not adjust larger differences. Find a way
688 to tell the kernel, to always do a full time sync when the RTC is in UTC and
689 we are in 11-minutes-mode. When we trust the system time to NTP we also want
692 * kernel: add device_type = "fb", "fbcon" to class "graphics"
694 * drop accountsservice's StandardOutput=syslog and Type=dbus fields
696 * dbus upstream still refers to dbus.target and shouldn't
698 * dbus: in fedora, make /var/lib/dbus/machine-id a symlink to /etc/machine-id
700 * add "# export SYSTEMD_PAGER=" to bash login
702 * /usr/bin/service should actually show the new command line
704 * 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=
706 * fedora: F20: go timer units all the way, leave cron.daily for cron
708 * neither pkexec nor sudo initialize environ[] from the PAM environment?
710 * fedora: update policy to declare access mode and ownership of unit files to root:root 0644, and add an rpmlint check for it
714 * look for close() vs. close_nointr() vs. close_nointr_nofail()
716 * check for strerror(r) instead of strerror(-r)
718 * Use PR_SET_PROCTITLE_AREA if it becomes available in the kernel
722 * set_put(), hashmap_put() return values check. i.e. == 0 doesn't free()!
724 * use secure_getenv() instead of getenv() where appropriate
726 * link up selected blog stories from man pages and unit files Documentation= fields
728 Scheduled for removal or fixing:
730 * xxxOverridable dependencies (probably: fix)
