3 * Should systemctl status \* work on all unit types, not just .service?
5 * Dangling symlinks of .automount unit files in .wants/ directories, set up
6 automount points even when the original .automount file did not exist
7 anymore. Only the .mount unit was still around.
9 * properly handle .mount unit state tracking when two mount points are stacked one on top of another on the exact same mount point.
11 * ExecStart with unicode characters fails in strv_split_quoted:
14 Environment=ONE='one' "TWO='two two' too" THREE=
15 ExecStart=/bin/python3 -c 'import sys;print(sys.argv)' $ONE $TWO $THREE
17 * MEMORY return code is overloaded for syntax errors in the command line.
18 str_split_quoted() should return a real return code, so spawn_child can
19 report the failure properly.
21 * udev_set_log_priority should verify the value before saving it.
25 * Fedora: add an rpmlint check that verifies that all unit files in the RPM are listed in %systemd_post macros.
27 * Fedora: post FPC ticket to move add %tmpfiles_create to the packaging guidelines
29 * Fedora: move kernel image to /usr/lib/modules/, kernel-install will take care of populating /boot
31 * Fedora: remove /etc/resolv.conf tmpfiles hack
33 * wiki: update journal format documentation for lz4 additions
35 * When lz4 gets an API for lz4 command output, make use of it to
36 compress coredumps in a way compatible with /usr/bin/lz4.
40 * add infrastructure to allocate dynamic/transient users and UID ranges, for use in user-namespaced containers, per-seat gdm login screens and gdm guest sessions
42 * resolved: maybe randomize DNS UDP source ports
44 * resolved: maybe compare query section of DNS replies
46 * machined: add an API so that libvirt-lxc can inform us about network interfaces being removed or added to an existing machine
48 * maybe add support for specifier expansion in user.conf, specifically DefaultEnvironment=
50 * kdbus: set the bus-wide creds sender requirement mask to ANY
52 * kdbus: busnames.target should get pulled in by basic.target
54 * code cleanup: retire FOREACH_WORD_QUOTED, port to unquote_first_word() loops instead
56 * logind: when the power button is pressed short, just popup a logout dialog. If it is pressed for 1s, do the usual shutdown. Inspiration are Macs here.
58 * optionally support running journald from the command line for testing purposes in external projects
60 * journald: allow per-priority and per-service retention times when rotating/vacuuming
62 * introduce systemd-timesync-wait.service or so to sync on an NTP fix?
64 * systemd --user should issue sd_notify() upon reaching basic.target, not on becoming idle
66 * configure.ac pretends dbus was optional but actually hardcodes use of dbus' pkg-config file to determine various dbus dirs such as policy and activation dirs
68 * consider showing the unit names during boot up in the status output, not just the unit descriptions
70 * dhcp: do we allow configuring dhcp routes on interfaces that are not the one we got the dhcp info from?
72 * maybe allow timer units with an empty Units= setting, so that they
73 can be used for resuming the system but nothing else.
75 * what to do about udev db binary stability for apps?
77 * maybe provide an API to allow migration of foreign PIDs into existing scopes.
79 * PID 1 doesn't apply nspawns devices cgroup policy
81 * maybe support a new very "soft" reboot mode, that simply kills all processes, disassembles everything, flushes /run and sysvipc, and then reexecs systemd again
83 * man: document that corrupted journal files is nothing to act on
85 * bus-proxy: when passing messages from kdbus, make sure we properly
86 handle the case where a large number of fds is appended that we
87 cannot pass into sendmsg() of the AF_UNIX sokcet (which only accepts
90 * man: maybe use the word "inspect" rather than "introspect"?
92 * introduce machines.target to order after all nspawn instances
94 * systemd-nspawn@.service should fail if some nspawn arg is invalid, with Type=notify
96 * "machinectl list" should probably show columns for OS version and IP addresses
98 * systemctl: if it fails, show log output?
100 * maybe add "systemctl edit" that copies unit files from /usr/lib/systemd/system to /etc/systemd/system and invokes vim on them
102 * refcounting in sd-resolve is borked
104 * exponential backoff in timesyncd and resolved when we cannot reach a server
106 * journald: make use of uid-range.h to managed uid ranges to split
109 * tmpfiles: port to unquote_many_words(), similar to sysusers
111 * unquote_many_words() should probably be used by a lot of code that
112 currently uses FOREACH_WORD and friends. For example, most conf
113 parsing callbacks should use it.
115 * logind: make the Suspend()/Hibernate() bus calls wait for the for
116 the job to be completed. before returning, so that clients can wait
117 for "systemctl suspend" to finish to know when the suspending is
120 * merge ~/.local/share and ~/.local/lib into one similar /usr/lib and /usr/share....
122 * journald: allows specification of UID range for splitting up journal files
124 * systemd.show_status= should probably have a mode where only failed
128 - add LLDP client side support
129 - the DHCP lease data (such as NTP/DNS) is still made available when
130 a carrier is lost on a link. It should be removed instantly.
131 - .network setting that allows overriding of the hostname to send to the dhcp server
132 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-July/021550.html
133 - expose in the API the following bits:
134 - option 15, domain name and/or option 119, search list
135 - option 12, host name and/or option 81, fqdn
136 - option 100, 101, timezone
137 - option 123, 144, geolocation
138 - option 252, configure http proxy (PAC/wpad)
139 - networkd's dhcp server should transparently pass on the DNS and
140 NTP server list it got from user configuration and its dhcp client
141 to clients. It should also pass on its own timezone information.
142 - provide a way to define a per-network interface default metric value
143 for all routes to it. possibly a second default for DHCP routes.
144 - allow Name= to be specified repeatedly in the [Match] section. Maybe also
145 support Name=foo*|bar*|baz ?
148 - put networkd events and rtnl events at a higher priority, so that
149 we always process them before we process client requests
151 - use base64 for key presentation?
152 - add display of private key types (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4034#appendix-A.1.1)?
153 - add nice formatting of DNS timestamps
158 - DNS-SD service registration from socket units
163 * Ignore .busname units on classic D-Bus boots, systemd-resolved cannot be started on kdbus
164 without the active policy and should get a Wants=org.freedesktop.resolve1.busname to
167 * Allow multiple ExecStart= for all Type= settings, so that we can cover rescue.service nicely
169 * Add a new verb "systemctl top"
171 * logind: allow users to kill or lock their own sessions
173 * add new gpt type for btrfs volumes
175 * support empty /etc boots nicely:
176 - nspawn/gpt-generator: introduce new gpt partition type for /usr
177 - fstab-generator: support systemd.volatile=yes|no|state on the kernel cmdline, too, similar to nspawn's --volatile=
179 * generator that automatically discovers btrfs subvolumes, identifies their purpose based on some xattr on them.
181 * support setting empty environment variables with Environment= and EnvironmentFile=
183 * timer units: actually add extra delays to timer units with high AccuracySec values, don't start them already when we are awake...
185 * a way for container managers to turn off getty starting via $container_headless= or so...
187 * figure out a nice way how we can let the admin know what child/sibling unit causes cgroup membership for a specific unit
189 * journalctl: add the ability to look for the most recent process of a binary. journalctl /usr/bin/X11 --pid=-1 or so...
191 * mount_cgroup_controllers(): symlinks need to get the label applied
193 * For timer units: add some mechanisms so that timer units that trigger immediately on boot do not have the services
194 they run added to the initial transaction and thus confuse Type=idle.
196 * Run most system services with cgroupfs read-only and procfs with a more secure mode (doesn't work, since the hidepid= option is per-pid-namespace, not per-mount)
198 * sd-event: generate a failure of a default event loop is executed out-of-thread
200 * expose "Locked" property on logind sesison objects
202 * add bus api to query unit file's X fields.
204 * consider adding RuntimeDirectoryUser= + RuntimeDirectoryGroup=
206 * sd-event: define more intervals where we will shift wakeup intervals around in, 1h, 6h, 24h, ...
208 * gpt-auto-generator:
209 - Support LUKS for root devices
210 - Define new partition type for encrypted swap? Support probed LUKS for encrypted swap?
211 - Make /home automount rather than mount?
213 * improve journalctl performance by loading journal files
214 lazily. Encode just enough information in the file name, so that we
215 do not have to open it to know that it is not interesting for us, for
216 the most common operations.
218 * add generator that pulls in systemd-network from containers when
219 CAP_NET_ADMIN is set, more than the loopback device is defined, even
220 when it is otherwise off
222 * MessageQueueMessageSize= and RLimitFSIZE= (and suchlike) should use parse_iec_size().
224 * "busctl status" works only as root on dbus1, since we cannot read
227 * implement Distribute= in socket units to allow running multiple
228 service instances processing the listening socket, and open this up
231 * socket units: support creating sockets in different namespace,
232 opening it up for JoinsNamespaceOf=. This would require to fork off
233 a tiny process that joins the namespace and creates/binds the socket
234 and passes this back to PID1 via SCM_RIGHTS. This also could be used
235 to allow Chown/chgrp on sockets without requiring NSS in PID 1.
237 * New service property: maximum CPU and wallclock runtime for a service
239 * introduce bus call FreezeUnit(s, b), as well as "systemctl freeze
240 $UNIT" and "systemctl thaw $UNIT" as wrappers around this. The calls
241 should SIGSTOP all unit processes in a loop until all processes of
242 it are fully stopped. This can later be used for app management by
243 desktop UIs such as gnome-shell to freeze apps that are not visible
244 on screen, not unlike how job control works on the shell
247 - manager property enumeration was broken when systemd moved to /usr/lib/
250 - implement per-slice CPUFairScheduling=1 switch
251 - handle jointly mounted controllers correctly
252 - introduce high-level settings for RT budget, swappiness
253 - how to reset dynamically changed unit cgroup attributes sanely?
254 - when reloading configuration, apply new cgroup configuration
255 - when recursively showing the cgroup hierarchy, optionally also show
256 the hierarchies of child processes
259 - allow creating auxiliary units with the same call
260 - add field to transient units that indicate whether systemd or somebody else saves/restores its settings, for integration with libvirt
261 - ensure scope units may be started only a single time
263 * Automatically configure swap partition to use for hibernation by looking for largest swap partition on the root disk?
265 * when we detect low battery and no AC on boot, show pretty splash and refuse boot
267 * machined, localed: when we try to kill an empty cgroup, generate an ESRCH error over the bus
269 * libsystemd-journal, libsystemd-login, libudev: add calls to easily attach these objects to sd-event event loops
271 * be more careful what we export on the bus as (usec_t) 0 and (usec_t) -1
273 * unify dispatch table in systemctl_main() and friends
275 * 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
277 * After coming back from hibernation reset hibernation swap partition using the /dev/snapshot ioctl APIs
279 * If we try to find a unit via a dangling symlink, generate a clean
280 error. Currently, we just ignore it and read the unit from the search
283 * refuse boot if /etc/os-release is missing or /etc/machine-id cannot be set up
285 * given that logind now lets PID 1 do all nasty work, we can
286 probably reduce the capability set it retains substantially.
287 (we need CAP_SYS_ADMIN for drmSetMaster(), so maybe not worth it)
289 * btrfs raid assembly: some .device jobs stay stuck in the queue
291 * make sure gdm does not use multi-user-x but the new default X configuration file, and then remove multi-user-x from systemd
293 * man: the documentation of Restart= currently is very misleading and suggests the tools from ExecStartPre= might get restarted.
295 * load .d/*.conf dropins for device units
297 * allow implementation of InaccessibleDirectories=/ plus
298 ReadOnlyDirectories=... for whitelisting files for a service.
301 - kdbus: maybe add euid, egid, fsuid, fsgid, controlling tty and ppid metadata fields
302 - see if we can introduce a new sd_bus_get_owner_machine_id() call to retrieve the machine ID of the machine of the bus itself
303 - when kdbus does not take our message without memfds, try again with memfds
304 - systemd-bus-proxyd needs to enforce good old XML policy
305 - allow updating attach flags during runtime
306 - pid1: peek into activating message when activating a service
307 - introduce sd_bus_emit_object_added()/sd_bus_emit_object_removed() that automatically includes the build-in interfaces in the list
308 - port to sd-resolve for connecting to TCP dbus servers
309 - see if we can drop more message validation on the sending side
310 - add API to clone sd_bus_message objects
311 - make AddMatch calls on dbus1 transports async?
312 - kdbus: matches against source or destination pids for an "strace -p"-like feel. Problem: The PID info needs to be available in userspace too...
313 - longer term: priority inheritance
316 - NameLost/NameAcquired obsolete
319 - update systemd.special(7) to mention that dbus.socket is only about the compatibility socket now
320 - test bloom filter generation indexes
323 - allow multiple signal handlers per signal?
324 - document chaining of signal handler for SIGCHLD and child handlers
326 * in the final killing spree, detect processes from the root directory, and
327 complain loudly if they have argv[0][0] == '@' set.
328 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=961044
330 * investigate endianness issues of UUID vs. GUID
332 * dbus: when a unit failed to load (i.e. is in UNIT_ERROR state), we
333 should be able to safely try another attempt when the bus call LoadUnit() is invoked.
335 * add a pam module that passes the hdd passphrase into the PAM stack and then expires it, for usage by gdm auto-login.
337 * add a pam module that on password changes updates any LUKS slot where the password matches
339 * maybe add a generator that looks for "systemd.run=" on the kernel cmdline for container usercases...
341 * cgtop: make cgtop useful in a container
344 - add 'set -e' to scripts in test/
345 - make stuff in test/ work with separate output dir
347 * seems that when we follow symlinks to units we prefer the symlink
348 destination path over /etc and /usr. We should not do that. Instead
349 /etc should always override /run+/usr and also any symlink
352 * when isolating, try to figure out a way how we implicitly can order
353 all units we stop before the isolating unit...
355 * teach ConditionKernelCommandLine= globs or regexes (in order to match foobar={no,0,off})
357 * after all byte-wise realloc() is slow, even on glibc, so i guess we
358 need manual exponential loops after all
360 * BootLoaderSpec: Clarify that the kernel has to be in $BOOT. Clarify
361 that the boot loader should be installed to the ESP. Define a way
362 how an installer can figure out whether a BLS compliant boot loader
365 * think about requeuing jobs when daemon-reload is issued? usecase:
366 the initrd issues a reload after fstab from the host is accessible
367 and we might want to requeue the mounts local-fs acquired through
370 * systemd-inhibit: make taking delay locks useful: support sending SIGINT or SIGTERM on PrepareForSleep()
372 * journal-or-kmsg is currently broken? See reverted commit 4a01181e460686d8b4a543b1dfa7f77c9e3c5ab8.
374 * remove any syslog support from log.c -- we probably cannot do this before split-off udev is gone for good
376 * shutdown logging: store to EFI var, and store to USB stick?
378 * write UI tool that pops up emergency messages from the journal as notification
380 * think about window-manager-run-as-user-service problem: exit 0 → activate shutdown.target; exit != 0 → restart service
382 * merge unit_kill_common() and unit_kill_context()
384 * introduce ExecCondition= in services
387 - honor language efi variables for default language selection (if there are any?)
388 - honor timezone efi variables for default timezone selection (if there are any?)
389 - change bootctl to be backed by systemd-bootd to control temporary and persistent default boot goal plus efi variables
391 * maybe do not install getty@tty1.service symlink in /etc but in /usr?
393 * re-enable "make check" for gtk-doc (broken for unknown reason)
395 * fstab: add new mount option x-systemd-after=/foobar/waldo to allow manual dependencies to other mount points
396 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=812826
398 * print a nicer explanation if people use variable/specifier expansion in ExecStart= for the first word
400 * mount: turn dependency information from /proc/self/mountinfo into dependency information between systemd units.
403 - logind: optionally, ignore idle-hint logic for autosuspend, block suspend as long as a session is around
404 - When we update the kernel all kind of hibernation should be prohibited until shutdown/reboot
405 - logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
406 - Add pretty name for seats in logind
407 - logind: allow showing logout dialog from system?
408 - we should probably handle SIGTERM/SIGINT to not leave dot files around, just in case
409 - session scopes/user unit: add RequiresMountsFor for the home directory of the user
410 - add Suspend() bus calls which take timestamps to fix double suspend issues when somebody hits suspend and closes laptop quickly.
411 - if pam_systemd is invoked by su from a process that is outside of a
412 any session we should probably just become a NOP, since that's
413 usually not a real user session but just some system code that just
416 * exec: when deinitializating a tty device fix the perms and group, too, not only when initializing. Set access mode/gid to 0620/tty.
418 * service: watchdog logic: for testing purposes allow ping, but do not require pong
421 - consider introducing implicit _TTY= + _PPID= + _EUID= + _EGID= + _FSUID= + _FSGID= fields
422 - import and delete pstore filesystem content at startup
423 - journald: also get thread ID from client, plus thread name
424 - journal: when waiting for journal additions in the client always sleep at least 1s or so, in order to minimize wakeups
425 - add API to close/reopen/get fd for journal client fd in libsystemd-journal.
426 - fallback to /dev/log based logging in libsystemd-journal, if we cannot log natively?
427 - declare the local journal protocol stable in the wiki interface chart
428 - journal: reuse XZ context
429 - sd-journal: speed up sd_journal_get_data() with transparent hash table in bg
430 - journald: when dropping msgs due to ratelimit make sure to write
431 "dropped %u messages" not only when we are about to print the next
432 message that works, but alraedy after a short tiemout
433 - check if we can make journalctl by default use --follow mode inside of less if called without args?
434 - maybe add API to send pairs of iovecs via sd_journal_send
435 - journal: when writing journal auto-rotate if time jumps backwards
436 - journal: add a setgid "systemd-journal" utility to invoke from libsystemd-journal, which passes fds via STDOUT and does PK access
437 - journactl: support negative filtering, i.e. FOOBAR!="waldo",
438 and !FOOBAR for events without FOOBAR.
439 - journal: send out marker messages every now and then, and immediately sync with fdatasync() afterwards, in order to have hourly guaranteed syncs.
440 - 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.
441 - journal: find a way to allow dropping history early, based on priority, other rules
442 - journal: When used on NFS, check payload hashes
443 - journal live copy, based on libneon (client) and libmicrohttpd (server)
444 - journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
445 - refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
446 - journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
447 - journal: deal nicely with byte-by-byte copied files, especially regards header
448 - journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the components would fit
449 - Replace utmp, wtmp, btmp, and lastlog completely with journal
450 - journalctl: instead --after-cursor= maybe have a --cursor=XYZ+1 syntax?
451 - when a kernel driver logs in a tight loop, we should ratelimit that too.
452 - journald: optionally, log debug messages to /run but everything else to /var
453 - journald: when we drop syslog messages because the syslog socket is
454 full, make sure to write how many messages are lost as first thing
455 to syslog when it works again.
456 - journald: make sure ratelimit is actually really per-service with the new cgroup changes
457 - change systemd-journal-flush into a service that stays around during
458 boot, and causes the journal to be moved back to /run on shutdown,
459 so that we do not keep /var busy. This needs to happen synchronously,
460 hence doing this via signals is not going to work.
463 - document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fields in
464 [Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
465 - man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
466 - document the exit codes when services fail before they are exec()ed
467 - document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
468 - document in wiki how to map ical recurrence events to systemd timer unit calendar specifications
469 - add a man page containing packaging guidelines and recommending usage of things like Documentation=, PrivateTmp=, PrivateNetwork= and ReadOnlyDirectories=/etc /usr.
470 - document systemd-journal-flush.service properly
471 - documentation: recommend to connect the timer units of a service to the service via Also= in [Install]
472 - man: document the very specific env the shutdown drop-in tools live in
473 - man: extend runlevel(8) to mention that runlevels suck, and are dead. Maybe add runlevel(7) with a note about that too
474 - man: add more examples to man pages
475 - man: maybe sort directives in man pages, and take sections from --help and apply them to man too
478 - systemctl list-jobs - show dependencies
479 - add systemctl switch to dump transaction without executing it
480 - Add a verbose mode to "systemctl start" and friends that explains what is being done or not done
481 - "systemctl disable" on a static unit prints no message and does
482 nothing. "systemctl enable" does nothing, and gives a bad message
483 about it. Should fix both to print nice actionable messages.
484 - print nice message from systemctl --failed if there are no entries shown, and hook that into ExecStartPre of rescue.service/emergency.service
485 - add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
486 - systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into does not exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
487 - systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
488 - support "systemctl stop foobar@.service" to stop all units matching a certain template
489 - Something is wrong with symlink handling of "autovt@.service" in "systemctl list-unit-files"
490 - better error message if you run systemctl without systemd running
491 - systemctl status output should should include list of triggering units and their status
494 - "systemctl mask" should find all names by which a unit is accessible
495 (i.e. by scanning for symlinks to it) and link them all to /dev/null
496 - systemctl list-unit-files should list generated files (and probably with a new state "generated" for them, or so)
499 - timer units should get the ability to trigger when:
500 o CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (TFD_TIMER_CANCEL_ON_SET)
502 - Support 2012-02~4 as syntax for specifying the fourth to last day of the month.
503 - calendarspec: support value ranges with ".." notation. Example: 2013-4..8-1
504 - when parsing calendar timestamps support the UTC timezone (even if we will not support arbitrary timezone specs, support UTC itself certainly makes sense), also support syntaxes such as +0200
505 - Modulate timer frequency based on battery state
507 * add libsystemd-password or so to query passwords during boot using the password agent logic
509 * 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().
511 * fedup: add --unit to systemctl switch-root somehow
512 * fedup: do not delete initrd on switch-root
515 * clean up date formatting and parsing so that all absolute/relative timestamps we format can also be parsed
517 * on shutdown: move utmp, wall, audit logic all into PID 1 (or logind?), get rid of systemd-update-utmp-runlevel
519 * make repeated alt-ctrl-del presses printing a dump, or even force a reboot without
520 waiting for the timeout
522 * hostnamed: before returning information from /etc/machine-info.conf check the modification data and reread. Similar for localed, ...
524 * currently x-systemd.timeout is lost in the initrd, since crypttab is copied into dracut, but fstab is not
527 - bind mount read-only the cgroup tree higher than nspawn
528 - refuses to boot containers without /etc/machine-id (OK?), and with empty /etc/machine-id (not OK).
529 - support taking a btrfs snapshot at startup and dropping it afterwards
532 - cryptsetup-generator: allow specification of passwords in crypttab itself
533 - move cryptsetup key caching into kernel keyctl?
534 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54982
535 - support rd.luks.allow-discards= kernel cmdline params in cryptsetup generator
537 * hw watchdog: optionally try to use the preset watchdog timeout instead of always overriding it
538 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54712
540 * after deserializing sockets in socket.c we should reapply sockopts and things
542 * make timer units go away after they elapsed
544 * move PID 1 segfaults to /var/lib/systemd/coredump?
546 * create /sbin/init symlinks from the build system
548 * allow writing multiple conditions in unit files on one line
550 * MountFlags=shared acts as MountFlags=slave right now.
552 * drop PID 1 reloading, only do reexecing (difficult: Reload()
553 currently is properly synchronous, Reexec() is weird, because we
554 cannot delay the response properly until we are back, so instead of
555 being properly synchronous we just keep open the fd and close it
556 when done. That means clients do not get a successful method reply,
557 but much rather a disconnect on success.
559 * properly handle loop back mounts via fstab, especially regards to fsck/passno
561 * initialize the hostname from the fs label of /, if /etc/hostname does not exist?
563 * rename "userspace" to "core-os"
565 * load-fragment: when loading a unit file via a chain of symlinks
566 verify that it is not masked via any of the names traversed.
568 * introduce Type=pid-file
570 * change Requires=basic.target to RequisiteOverride=basic.target
572 * when breaking cycles drop sysv services first, then services from /run, then from /etc, then from /usr
574 * automount: implement expire:
575 - set superblock timeout AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_TIMEOUT_CMD
576 - periodically run AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_EXPIRE_CMD
577 - every timeout/4 (original autofs logic)
578 - blocking, needs a thread
580 - receive expire packet on pipe if kernel tells the timeout is over
582 - answer expire packet on pipe with AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_{READY,FAIL}_CMD
583 - AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_EXPIRE_CMD returns
585 * ExecOnFailure=/usr/bin/foo
590 - add trigger --subsystem-match=usb/usb_device device
591 - reimport udev db after MOVE events for devices without dev_t
593 * 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
595 * introduce mix of BindTo and Requisite
597 * There's currently no way to cancel fsck (used to be possible via C-c or c on the console)
599 * add option to sockets to avoid activation. Instead just drop packets/connections, see http://cyberelk.net/tim/2012/02/15/portreserve-systemd-solution/
601 * default unix qlen is too small (10). bump sysctl? add sockopt?
603 * save coredump in Windows/Mozilla minidump format
605 * support crash reporting operation modes (https://live.gnome.org/GnomeOS/Design/Whiteboards/ProblemReporting)
607 * default to actual 32-bit PIDs, via /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max
609 * be able to specify a forced restart of service A where service B depends on, in case B
610 needs to be auto-respawned?
612 * when a bus name of a service disappears from the bus make sure to queue further activation requests
615 - apply "x" on "D" too (see patch from William Douglas)
617 * for services: do not set $HOME in services unless requested
619 * hide PAM options in fragment parser when compile time disabled
621 * when we automatically restart a service, ensure we restart its rdeps, too.
623 * allow Type=simple with PIDFile=
624 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=723942
626 * move PAM code into its own binary
628 * implement Register= switch in .socket units to enable registration
629 in Avahi, RPC and other socket registration services.
631 * make sure systemd-ask-password-wall does not shutdown systemd-ask-password-console too early
633 * add ReloadSignal= for configuring a reload signal to use
635 * verify that the AF_UNIX sockets of a service in the fs still exist
636 when we start a service in order to avoid confusion when a user
637 assumes starting a service is enough to make it accessible
639 * Make it possible to set the keymap independently from the font on
640 the kernel cmdline. Right now setting one resets also the other.
642 * and a dbus call to generate target from current state
644 * GC unreferenced jobs (such as .device jobs)
646 * write blog stories about:
647 - hwdb: what belongs into it, lsusb
648 - enabling dbus services
650 - how to make changes to sysctl and sysfs attributes
652 - how to pass throw-away units to systemd, or dynamically change properties of existing units
653 - how to integrate cgconfig and suchlike with systemd
654 - testing with Harald's awesome test kit
656 - how to develop against journal browsing APIs
657 - the journal HTTP iface
658 - non-cgroup resource management
659 - dynamic resource management with cgroups
660 - refreshed, longer missions statement
661 - calendar time events
662 - init=/bin/sh vs. "emergency" mode, vs. "rescue" mode, vs. "multi-user" mode, vs. "graphical" mode, and the debug shell
663 - how to create your own target
664 - instantiated apache, dovecot and so on
665 - hooking a script into various stages of shutdown/rearly booot
667 * allow port=0 in .socket units
669 * recreate systemd's D-Bus private socket file on SIGUSR2
671 * Support --test based on current system state
673 * investigate whether the gnome pty helper should be moved into systemd, to provide cgroup support.
675 * maybe introduce ExecRestartPre=
677 * dot output for --test showing the 'initial transaction'
679 * fingerprint.target, wireless.target, gps.target, netdevice.target
682 - figure out a simple way to wait for journal events in a way that
684 - add documentation to systemd.daemon
687 - plot per-process IO utilization
688 - group processes based on service association (cgroups)
689 - document initcall_debug
690 - kernel cmdline "bootchart" option for simplicity?
693 - Make sure ID_PATH is always exported and complete for
694 network devices where possible, so we can safely rely
696 - check MTUBytes parsing (expecting size_t but we are using unsigned)
699 - add support for more attribute types
700 - inbuilt piping support (essentially degenerate async)? see loopback-setup.c and other places
703 - add more keys to [Route] and [Address] sections
704 - add support for more DHCPv4 options (and, longer term, other kinds of dynamic config)
705 - add proper initrd support (in particular generate .network/.link files based on /proc/cmdline)
706 - add reduced [Link] support to .network files
707 - add Scope= parsing option for [Network]
708 - properly handle routerless dhcp leases
709 - add more attribute support for SIT tunnel
710 - work with non-ethernet devices

713 * networkd-wait-online:
714 - make operstates to wait for configurable?
717 - figure out how much we can increase Maximum Message Size
718 - export timezone information
719 - support RFC4702 (pass FQDN)
722 - add functions to set previously stored IPv6 addresses on startup and get
723 them at shutdown; store them in client->ia_na
724 - write more test cases
725 - implement and do duplicate address detection, see rfc 4862, 5.4.
726 - implement reconfigure support, see 5.3., 15.11. and 22.20.
727 - implement information request, see 1.2. and 18.1.5.
728 - implement support for temporary adressess (IA_TA)
729 - implement dhcpv6 authentication
730 - investigate the usefulness of Confirm messages; i.e. are there any
731 situations where the link changes without any loss in carrier detection
733 - some servers don't do rapid commit without a filled in IA_NA, verify
739 - natively watch for dbus-*.service symlinks (PENDING)
740 - teach dbus to activate all services it finds in /etc/systemd/services/org-*.service
742 * fix alsa mixer restore to not print error when no config is stored
744 * make cryptsetup lower --iter-time
746 * patch kernel for xattr support in /dev, /proc/, /sys?
748 * kernel: add device_type = "fb", "fbcon" to class "graphics"
750 * drop accountsservice's StandardOutput=syslog and Type=dbus fields
752 * dbus upstream still refers to dbus.target and should not
754 * dbus: in fedora, make /var/lib/dbus/machine-id a symlink to /etc/machine-id
756 * add "# export SYSTEMD_PAGER=" to bash login
758 * /usr/bin/service should actually show the new command line
760 * 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=
762 * fedora: F20: go timer units all the way, leave cron.daily for cron
764 * neither pkexec nor sudo initialize environ[] from the PAM environment?
766 * fedora: update policy to declare access mode and ownership of unit files to root:root 0644, and add an rpmlint check for it
768 * register catalog database signature as file magic
770 * zsh shell completion:
771 - <command> <verb> -<TAB> should complete options, but currently does not
772 - systemctl add-wants,add-requires
777 * look for close() vs. close_nointr() vs. close_nointr_nofail()
779 * check for strerror(r) instead of strerror(-r)
781 * Use PR_SET_PROCTITLE_AREA if it becomes available in the kernel
785 * set_put(), hashmap_put() return values check. i.e. == 0 does not free()!
787 * use secure_getenv() instead of getenv() where appropriate
789 * link up selected blog stories from man pages and unit files Documentation= fields
791 Scheduled for removal or fixing:
793 * xxxOverridable dependencies (probably: fix)
