3 * Re-enable "fsck -l" when it is ready:
4 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=79576#c5
6 * Should systemctl status \* work on all unit types, not just .service?
8 * Dangling symlinks of .automount unit files in .wants/ directories, set up
9 automount points even when the original .automount file did not exist
10 anymore. Only the .mount unit was still around.
12 * properly handle .mount unit state tracking when two mount points are stacked one on top of another on the exact same mount point.
14 After killing 'systemd --user', systemctl restart user@... fails.
15 /run/user/1000/systemd/notify has to be removed manually.
17 ExecStart with unicode characters fails in strv_split_quoted:
20 Environment=ONE='one' "TWO='two two' too" THREE=
21 ExecStart=/bin/python3 -c 'import sys;print(sys.argv)' $ONE $TWO $THREE
23 MEMORY return code is overloaded for syntax errors in the commandline.
24 str_split_quoted() should return a real return code, so spawn_child can
25 report the failure properly.
29 * Fedora: add an rpmlint check that verifies that all unit files in the RPM are listed in %systemd_post macros.
31 * Fedora: post FPC ticket to move add %tmpfiles_create to the packaging guidelines
33 * Fedora: move kernel image to /usr/lib/modules/, kernel-install will take care of populating /boot
35 * Fedora: remove /etc/resolv.conf tmpfiles hack
37 * wiki: update journal format documentation for lz4 additions
39 * When lz4 gets an API for lz4 command output, make use of it to
40 compress coredumps in a way compatible with /usr/bin/lz4.
44 * 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
46 * consider showing the unit names during boot up in the status output, not just the unit descriptions
48 * send SIGABRT when a service watchdog is triggered, by default, so that we acquire a backtrace of the hang.
50 * shouldn't RouteMetric= in networkd's [DHCP] section move to [Network]?
52 * dhcp: do we allow configuring dhcp routes on interfaces that are not the one we got the dhcp info from?
54 * maybe allow timer units with an empty Units= setting, so that they
55 can be used for resuming the system but nothing else.
57 * what to do about udev db binary stability for apps?
59 * add a system-wide shutdown timeout, similar to the startup timeout we already have (see fdo bz #84110)
61 * maybe provide an API to allow migration of foreign PIDs into existing scopes.
63 * kdbus: maybe rename "connection name" concept to something that doesn't reuse the word "name"?
65 * PID 1 doesn't apply nspawns devices cgroup policy
67 * rework journal-send.c to use memfds for large blobs if they are available instead of unlinked files in /tmp. Also, if we detect that the kernel knows memfds, refuse anything but sealed memfds.
69 * maybe support a new very "soft" reboot mode, that simply kills all processes, disassembles everything, flushes /run and sysvipc, and then reexecs systemd again
71 * man: document that corrupted journal files is nothing to act on
73 * bus-proxy: when passing messages from kdbus, make sure we properly
74 handle the case where a large number of fds is appended that we
75 cannot pass into sendmsg() of the AF_UNIX sokcet (which only accepts
78 * busctl: add a pcap writer, using LINKTYPE_DBUS/231
80 * man: maybe use the word "inspect" rather than "introspect"?
82 * introduce machines.target to order after all nspawn instances
84 * systemd-nspawn@.service should fail if some nspawn arg is invalid, with Type=notify
86 * "machinectl list" should probably show columns for OS version and IP addresses
88 * systemctl: if it fails, show log output?
90 * maybe add "systemctl edit" that copies unit files from /usr/lib/systemd/system to /etc/systemd/system and invokes vim on them
92 * dbus: add new message hdr field for allowing interactive auth, write spec for it. update dbus spec to mandate that unknown flags *must* be ignored...
94 * maybe introduce AssertXYZ= similar to ConditionXYZ= that causes a unit to fail (instead of skipping it) if some condition is not true...
96 * remove multi-seat-x now
98 * refcounting in sd-resolve is borked
100 * exponential backoff in timesyncd and resolved when we cannot reach a server
102 * apply start timeout during the "initializing" manager state only,
103 instead of both "initializing" and "starting". maybe rename the
104 timeout to "initialization-timeout" then or so?
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.
146 - put networkd events and rtnl events at a higher priority, so that
147 we always process them before we process client requests
149 - use base64 for key presentation?
150 - add display of private key types (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4034#appendix-A.1.1)?
151 - add nice formatting of DNS timestamps
156 - DNS-SD service registration from socket units
161 * Ignore .busname units on classic D-Bus boots, systemd-resolved cannot be started on kdbus
162 without the active policy and should get a Wants=org.freedesktop.resolve1.busname to
165 * Allow multiple ExecStart= for all Type= settings, so that we can cover rescue.service nicely
167 * Add a new verb "systemctl top"
169 * logind: allow users to kill or lock their own sessions
171 * add new gpt type for btrfs volumes
173 * support empty /etc boots nicely:
174 - nspawn/gpt-generator: introduce new gpt partition type for /usr
175 - fstab-generator: support systemd.volatile=yes|no|state on the kernel cmdline, too, similar to nspawn's --volatile=
176 - fstab-generator: add support for usr= in addition to root= on the kernel cmdline
178 * generator that automatically discovers btrfs subvolumes, identifies their purpose based on some xattr on them.
180 * support setting empty environment variables with Environment= and EnvironmentFile=
182 * timer units: actually add extra delays to timer units with high AccuracySec values, don't start them already when we are awake...
184 * a way for container managers to turn off getty starting via $container_headless= or so...
186 * figure out a nice way how we can let the admin know what child/sibling unit causes cgroup membership for a specific unit
188 * journalctl: add the ability to look for the most recent process of a binary. journalctl /usr/bin/X11 --pid=-1 or so...
190 * mount_cgroup_controllers(): symlinks need to get the label applied
192 * For timer units: add some mechanisms so that timer units that trigger immediately on boot do not have the services
193 they run added to the initial transaction and thus confuse Type=idle.
195 * 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)
197 * sd-event: generate a failure of a default event loop is executed out-of-thread
199 * expose "Locked" property on logind sesison objects
201 * add bus api to query unit file's X fields.
203 * consider adding RuntimeDirectoryUser= + RuntimeDirectoryGroup=
205 * sd-event: define more intervals where we will shift wakeup intervals around in, 1h, 6h, 24h, ...
207 * gpt-auto-generator:
208 - Support LUKS for root devices
209 - Define new partition type for encrypted swap? Support probed LUKS for encrypted swap?
210 - Make /home automount rather than mount?
212 * improve journalctl performance by loading journal files
213 lazily. Encode just enough information in the file name, so that we
214 do not have to open it to know that it is not interesting for us, for
215 the most common operations.
217 * add generator that pulls in systemd-network from containers when
218 CAP_NET_ADMIN is set, more than the loopback device is defined, even
219 when it is otherwise off
221 * MessageQueueMessageSize= and RLimitFSIZE= (and suchlike) should use parse_iec_size().
223 * "busctl status" works only as root on dbus1, since we cannot read
226 * implement Distribute= in socket units to allow running multiple
227 service instances processing the listening socket, and open this up
230 * socket units: support creating sockets in different namespace,
231 opening it up for JoinsNamespaceOf=. This would require to fork off
232 a tiny process that joins the namespace and creates/binds the socket
233 and passes this back to PID1 via SCM_RIGHTS. This also could be used
234 to allow Chown/chgrp on sockets without requiring NSS in PID 1.
236 * New service property: maximum CPU and wallclock runtime for a service
238 * introduce bus call FreezeUnit(s, b), as well as "systemctl freeze
239 $UNIT" and "systemctl thaw $UNIT" as wrappers around this. The calls
240 should SIGSTOP all unit processes in a loop until all processes of
241 it are fully stopped. This can later be used for app management by
242 desktop UIs such as gnome-shell to freeze apps that are not visible
243 on screen, not unlike how job control works on the shell
246 - manager property enumeration was broken when systemd moved to /usr/lib/
249 - implement per-slice CPUFairScheduling=1 switch
250 - handle jointly mounted controllers correctly
251 - introduce high-level settings for RT budget, swappiness
252 - how to reset dynamically changed unit cgroup attributes sanely?
253 - when reloading configuration, apply new cgroup configuration
254 - when recursively showing the cgroup hierarchy, optionally also show
255 the hierarchies of child processes
258 - allow creating auxiliary units with the same call
259 - add field to transient units that indicate whether systemd or somebody else saves/restores its settings, for integration with libvirt
260 - ensure scope units may be started only a single time
262 * Automatically configure swap partition to use for hibernation by looking for largest swap partition on the root disk?
264 * when we detect low battery and no AC on boot, show pretty splash and refuse boot
266 * machined, localed: when we try to kill an empty cgroup, generate an ESRCH error over the bus
268 * libsystemd-journal, libsystemd-login, libudev: add calls to easily attach these objects to sd-event event loops
270 * be more careful what we export on the bus as (usec_t) 0 and (usec_t) -1
272 * unify dispatch table in systemctl_main() and friends
274 * 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
276 * After coming back from hibernation reset hibernation swap partition using the /dev/snapshot ioctl APIs
278 * If we try to find a unit via a dangling symlink, generate a clean
279 error. Currently, we just ignore it and read the unit from the search
282 * refuse boot if /etc/os-release is missing or /etc/machine-id cannot be set up
284 * given that logind now lets PID 1 do all nasty work, we can
285 probably reduce the capability set it retains substantially.
286 (we need CAP_SYS_ADMIN for drmSetMaster(), so maybe not worth it)
288 * btrfs raid assembly: some .device jobs stay stuck in the queue
290 * make sure gdm does not use multi-user-x but the new default X configuration file, and then remove multi-user-x from systemd
292 * man: the documentation of Restart= currently is very misleading and suggests the tools from ExecStartPre= might get restarted.
294 * load .d/*.conf dropins for device units
296 * allow implementation of InaccessibleDirectories=/ plus
297 ReadOnlyDirectories=... for whitelisting files for a service.
300 - when kdbus does not take our message without memfds, try again with memfds
301 - systemd-bus-proxyd needs to enforce good old XML policy
302 - allow updating attach flags during runtime
303 - pid1: peek into activating message when activating a service
304 - introduce sd_bus_emit_object_added()/sd_bus_emit_object_removed() that automatically includes the build-in interfaces in the list
305 - port to sd-resolve for connecting to TCP dbus servers
306 - see if we can drop more message validation on the sending side
307 - add API to clone sd_bus_message objects
308 - make AddMatch calls on dbus1 transports async?
309 - kdbus: matches against source or destination pids for an "strace -p"-like feel. Problem: The PID info needs to be available in userspace too...
310 - longer term: priority inheritance
313 - NameLost/NameAcquired obsolete
315 - "const" properties (posted)
317 - update systemd.special(7) to mention that dbus.socket is only about the compatibility socket now
318 - test bloom filter generation indexes
321 - allow multiple signal handlers per signal?
322 - document chaining of signal handler for SIGCHLD and child handlers
324 * in the final killing spree, detect processes from the root directory, and
325 complain loudly if they have argv[0][0] == '@' set.
326 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=961044
328 * investigate endianness issues of UUID vs. GUID
330 * dbus: when a unit failed to load (i.e. is in UNIT_ERROR state), we
331 should be able to safely try another attempt when the bus call LoadUnit() is invoked.
333 * add a pam module that passes the hdd passphrase into the PAM stack and then expires it, for usage by gdm auto-login.
335 * add a pam module that on password changes updates any LUKS slot where the password matches
337 * maybe add a generator that looks for "systemd.run=" on the kernel cmdline for container usercases...
339 * timedatectl: print a nicer message when enabling ntp fails because ntpd/chrony are not installed
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 * use "log level" rather than "log priority" everywhere
384 * merge unit_kill_common() and unit_kill_context()
386 * introduce ExecCondition= in services
389 - honor language efi variables for default language selection (if there are any?)
390 - honor timezone efi variables for default timezone selection (if there are any?)
391 - change bootctl to be backed by systemd-bootd to control temporary and persistent default boot goal plus efi variables
393 * maybe do not install getty@tty1.service symlink in /etc but in /usr?
395 * re-enable "make check" for gtk-doc (broken for unknown reason)
397 * fstab: add new mount option x-systemd-after=/foobar/waldo to allow manual dependencies to other mount points
398 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=812826
400 * print a nicer explanation if people use variable/specifier expansion in ExecStart= for the first word
402 * mount: turn dependency information from /proc/self/mountinfo into dependency information between systemd units.
405 - logind: optionally, ignore idle-hint logic for autosuspend, block suspend as long as a session is around
406 - When we update the kernel all kind of hibernation should be prohibited until shutdown/reboot
407 - logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
408 - Add pretty name for seats in logind
409 - logind: allow showing logout dialog from system?
410 - we should probably handle SIGTERM/SIGINT to not leave dot files around, just in case
411 - session scopes/user unit: add RequiresMountsFor for the home directory of the user
412 - add Suspend() bus calls which take timestamps to fix double suspend issues when somebody hits suspend and closes laptop quickly.
413 - if pam_systemd is invoked by su from a process that is outside of a
414 any session we should probably just become a NOP, since that's
415 usually not a real user session but just some system code that just
418 * exec: when deinitializating a tty device fix the perms and group, too, not only when initializing. Set access mode/gid to 0620/tty.
420 * service: watchdog logic: for testing purposes allow ping, but do not require pong
423 - import and delete pstore filesystem content at startup
424 - journald: also get thread ID from client, plus thread name
425 - journal: when waiting for journal additions in the client always sleep at least 1s or so, in order to minimize wakeups
426 - add API to close/reopen/get fd for journal client fd in libsystemd-journal.
427 - fallback to /dev/log based logging in libsystemd-journal, if we cannot log natively?
428 - declare the local journal protocol stable in the wiki interface chart
429 - journal: reuse XZ context
430 - sd-journal: speed up sd_journal_get_data() with transparent hash table in bg
431 - journald: when dropping msgs due to ratelimit make sure to write
432 "dropped %u messages" not only when we are about to print the next
433 message that works, but alraedy after a short tiemout
434 - check if we can make journalctl by default use --follow mode inside of less if called without args?
435 - maybe add API to send pairs of iovecs via sd_journal_send
436 - journal: when writing journal auto-rotate if time jumps backwards
437 - journal: add a setgid "systemd-journal" utility to invoke from libsystemd-journal, which passes fds via STDOUT and does PK access
438 - journactl: support negative filtering, i.e. FOOBAR!="waldo",
439 and !FOOBAR for events without FOOBAR.
440 - journal: send out marker messages every now and then, and immediately sync with fdatasync() afterwards, in order to have hourly guaranteed syncs.
441 - 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.
442 - journal: find a way to allow dropping history early, based on priority, other rules
443 - journal: When used on NFS, check payload hashes
444 - journald: check whether it is OK if the client can still modify delivered journal entries
445 - journal live copy, based on libneon (client) and libmicrohttpd (server)
446 - journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
447 - refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
448 - journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
449 - journal: deal nicely with byte-by-byte copied files, especially regards header
450 - journal: store euid in journal if it differs from uid
451 - journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the components would fit
452 - Replace utmp, wtmp, btmp, and lastlog completely with journal
453 - journalctl: instead --after-cursor= maybe have a --cursor=XYZ+1 syntax?
454 - tmpfiles: when applying ownership to /run/log/journal, also do this for the journal fails contained in it
455 - when a kernel driver logs in a tight loop, we should ratelimit that too.
456 - journald: optionally, log debug messages to /run but everything else to /var
457 - journald: when we drop syslog messages because the syslog socket is
458 full, make sure to write how many messages are lost as first thing
459 to syslog when it works again.
460 - journald: make sure ratelimit is actually really per-service with the new cgroup changes
461 - change systemd-journal-flush into a service that stays around during
462 boot, and causes the journal to be moved back to /run on shutdown,
463 so that we do not keep /var busy. This needs to happen synchronously,
464 hence doing this via signals is not going to work.
467 - document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fields in
468 [Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
469 - man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
470 - document the exit codes when services fail before they are exec()ed
471 - document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
472 - document in wiki how to map ical recurrence events to systemd timer unit calendar specifications
473 - add a man page containing packaging guidelines and recommending usage of things like Documentation=, PrivateTmp=, PrivateNetwork= and ReadOnlyDirectories=/etc /usr.
474 - document systemd-journal-flush.service properly
475 - documentation: recommend to connect the timer units of a service to the service via Also= in [Install]
476 - man: document the very specific env the shutdown drop-in tools live in
477 - man: extend runlevel(8) to mention that runlevels suck, and are dead. Maybe add runlevel(7) with a note about that too
478 - man: add more examples to man pages
479 - man: maybe sort directives in man pages, and take sections from --help and apply them to man too
482 - systemctl list-jobs - show dependencies
483 - add systemctl switch to dump transaction without executing it
484 - Add a verbose mode to "systemctl start" and friends that explains what is being done or not done
485 - "systemctl disable" on a static unit prints no message and does
486 nothing. "systemctl enable" does nothing, and gives a bad message
487 about it. Should fix both to print nice actionable messages.
488 - print nice message from systemctl --failed if there are no entries shown, and hook that into ExecStartPre of rescue.service/emergency.service
489 - add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
490 - systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into does not exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
491 - systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
492 - support "systemctl stop foobar@.service" to stop all units matching a certain template
493 - Something is wrong with symlink handling of "autovt@.service" in "systemctl list-unit-files"
494 - better error message if you run systemctl without systemd running
495 - systemctl status output should should include list of triggering units and their status
498 - "systemctl mask" should find all names by which a unit is accessible
499 (i.e. by scanning for symlinks to it) and link them all to /dev/null
500 - systemctl list-unit-files should list generated files (and probably with a new state "generated" for them, or so)
503 - timer units should get the ability to trigger when:
504 o CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (TFD_TIMER_CANCEL_ON_SET)
506 - Support 2012-02~4 as syntax for specifying the fourth to last day of the month.
507 - calendarspec: support value ranges with ".." notation. Example: 2013-4..8-1
508 - 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
509 - Modulate timer frequency based on battery state
511 * update the kernel's TZ (sys_tz) when DST changes
513 * sync down the system time to the RTC when:
514 - CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (the user explicitely requested a time set)
515 - DST/timezone changes && ntp is active && RTC-in-localtime (never do it without ntp)
516 This takes care of syncing ntpdate updates to the RTC, and DST updates for localtime
517 mode, it will never touch the RTC if the no reliable time source is active or the
518 user did not request anything like it.
520 * add libsystemd-password or so to query passwords during boot using the password agent logic
522 * 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().
524 * fedup: add --unit to systemctl switch-root somehow
525 * fedup: do not delete initrd on switch-root
528 * clean up date formatting and parsing so that all absolute/relative timestamps we format can also be parsed
530 * on shutdown: move utmp, wall, audit logic all into PID 1 (or logind?), get rid of systemd-update-utmp-runlevel
532 * make repeated alt-ctrl-del presses printing a dump, or even force a reboot without
533 waiting for the timeout
535 * hostnamed: before returning information from /etc/machine-info.conf check the modification data and reread. Similar for localed, ...
537 * currently x-systemd.timeout is lost in the initrd, since crypttab is copied into dracut, but fstab is not
540 - bind mount read-only the cgroup tree higher than nspawn
541 - refuses to boot containers without /etc/machine-id (OK?), and with empty /etc/machine-id (not OK).
542 - support taking a btrfs snapshot at startup and dropping it afterwards
545 - cryptsetup-generator: allow specification of passwords in crypttab itself
546 - move cryptsetup key caching into kernel keyctl?

548 - support rd.luks.allow-discards= kernel cmdline params in cryptsetup generator
550 * hw watchdog: optionally try to use the preset watchdog timeout instead of always overriding it
551 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54712
553 * after deserializing sockets in socket.c we should reapply sockopts and things
555 * make timer units go away after they elapsed
557 * come up with a nice way to write queue/read_ahead_kb for a block device without interfering with readahead
559 * move PID 1 segfaults to /var/lib/systemd/coredump?
561 * create /sbin/init symlinks from the build system
563 * allow writing multiple conditions in unit files on one line
565 * MountFlags=shared acts as MountFlags=slave right now.
567 * drop PID 1 reloading, only do reexecing (difficult: Reload()
568 currently is properly synchronous, Reexec() is weird, because we
569 cannot delay the response properly until we are back, so instead of
570 being properly synchronous we just keep open the fd and close it
571 when done. That means clients do not get a successful method reply,
572 but much rather a disconnect on success.
574 * properly handle loop back mounts via fstab, especially regards to fsck/passno
576 * initialize the hostname from the fs label of /, if /etc/hostname does not exist?
578 * rename "userspace" to "core-os"
580 * load-fragment: when loading a unit file via a chain of symlinks
581 verify that it is not masked via any of the names traversed.
583 * introduce Type=pid-file
585 * change Requires=basic.target to RequisiteOverride=basic.target
587 * when breaking cycles drop sysv services first, then services from /run, then from /etc, then from /usr
589 * automount: implement expire:
590 - set superblock timeout AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_TIMEOUT_CMD
591 - periodically run AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_EXPIRE_CMD
592 - every timeout/4 (original autofs logic)
593 - blocking, needs a thread
595 - receive expire packet on pipe if kernel tells the timeout is over
597 - answer expire packet on pipe with AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_{READY,FAIL}_CMD
598 - AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_EXPIRE_CMD returns
600 * ExecOnFailure=/usr/bin/foo
605 - add trigger --subsystem-match=usb/usb_device device
606 - reimport udev db after MOVE events for devices without dev_t
608 * 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
610 * introduce mix of BindTo and Requisite
612 * There's currently no way to cancel fsck (used to be possible via C-c or c on the console)
614 * add option to sockets to avoid activation. Instead just drop packets/connections, see http://cyberelk.net/tim/2012/02/15/portreserve-systemd-solution/
616 * default unix qlen is too small (10). bump sysctl? add sockopt?
618 * save coredump in Windows/Mozilla minidump format
620 * support crash reporting operation modes (https://live.gnome.org/GnomeOS/Design/Whiteboards/ProblemReporting)
622 * default to actual 32-bit PIDs, via /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max
624 * be able to specify a forced restart of service A where service B depends on, in case B
625 needs to be auto-respawned?
627 * when a bus name of a service disappears from the bus make sure to queue further activation requests
630 - apply "x" on "D" too (see patch from William Douglas)
632 * for services: do not set $HOME in services unless requested
634 * hide PAM options in fragment parser when compile time disabled
636 * when we automatically restart a service, ensure we restart its rdeps, too.
638 * allow Type=simple with PIDFile=
639 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=723942
641 * move PAM code into its own binary
643 * implement Register= switch in .socket units to enable registration
644 in Avahi, RPC and other socket registration services.
646 * make sure systemd-ask-password-wall does not shutdown systemd-ask-password-console too early
648 * add ReloadSignal= for configuring a reload signal to use
650 * verify that the AF_UNIX sockets of a service in the fs still exist
651 when we start a service in order to avoid confusion when a user
652 assumes starting a service is enough to make it accessible
654 * Make it possible to set the keymap independently from the font on
655 the kernel cmdline. Right now setting one resets also the other.
657 * and a dbus call to generate target from current state
660 - drop /.readahead on bigger upgrades with yum
661 - move readahead files into /var (look for them with .path units?)
662 - readahead: use BTRFS_IOC_DEFRAG_RANGE instead of BTRFS_IOC_DEFRAG ioctl, with START_IO
663 - readahead: when bumping /sys readahead variable save mtime and compare later to detect changes
664 - readahead: make use of EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT, as used by http://e4rat.sourceforge.net/
666 * GC unreferenced jobs (such as .device jobs)

686 - instantiated apache, dovecot and so on
687 - hooking a script into various stages of shutdown/rearly booot
689 * allow port=0 in .socket units
691 * recreate systemd's D-Bus private socket file on SIGUSR2
693 * Support --test based on current system state
695 * investigate whether the gnome pty helper should be moved into systemd, to provide cgroup support.
697 * maybe introduce ExecRestartPre=
699 * dot output for --test showing the 'initial transaction'
701 * fingerprint.target, wireless.target, gps.target, netdevice.target
703 * drop cap bounding set in readahead and other services

708 - add documentation to systemd.daemon
711 - plot per-process IO utilization
712 - group processes based on service association (cgroups)
713 - document initcall_debug
714 - kernel cmdline "bootchart" option for simplicity?

718 network devices where possible, so we can safely rely
720 - check MTUBytes parsing (expecting size_t but we are using unsigned)
723 - add support for more attribute types
724 - inbuilt piping support (essentially degenerate async)? see loopback-setup.c and other places
727 - add more keys to [Route] and [Address] sections
728 - add support for more DHCPv4 options (and, longer term, other kinds of dynamic config)
729 - add proper initrd support (in particular generate .network/.link files based on /proc/cmdline)
730 - add reduced [Link] support to .network files
731 - add Scope= parsing option for [Network]
732 - properly handle routerless dhcp leases
733 - add more attribute support for SIT tunnel
734 - work with non-ethernet devices
735 - add support for more bond options
737 * networkd-wait-online:
738 - make operstates to wait for configurable?
741 - figure out how much we can increase Maximum Message Size
742 - export timezone information
743 - support RFC4702 (pass FQDN)
746 - add functions to set previously stored IPv6 addresses on startup and get
747 them at shutdown; store them in client->ia_na
748 - write more test cases

752 - implement support for temporary adressess (IA_TA)
753 - implement dhcpv6 authentication
754 - investigate the usefulness of Confirm messages; i.e. are there any
755 situations where the link changes without any loss in carrier detection
757 - some servers don't do rapid commit without a filled in IA_NA, verify
763 - natively watch for dbus-*.service symlinks (PENDING)
764 - teach dbus to activate all services it finds in /etc/systemd/services/org-*.service
766 * fix alsa mixer restore to not print error when no config is stored
768 * make cryptsetup lower --iter-time
770 * patch kernel for xattr support in /dev, /proc/, /sys?
772 * kernel: add device_type = "fb", "fbcon" to class "graphics"
774 * drop accountsservice's StandardOutput=syslog and Type=dbus fields
776 * dbus upstream still refers to dbus.target and should not
778 * dbus: in fedora, make /var/lib/dbus/machine-id a symlink to /etc/machine-id
780 * add "# export SYSTEMD_PAGER=" to bash login
782 * /usr/bin/service should actually show the new command line
784 * 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=
786 * fedora: F20: go timer units all the way, leave cron.daily for cron
788 * neither pkexec nor sudo initialize environ[] from the PAM environment?
790 * fedora: update policy to declare access mode and ownership of unit files to root:root 0644, and add an rpmlint check for it
792 * register catalog database signature as file magic
794 * zsh shell completion: <command> <verb> -<TAB> should complete options, but currently
799 * look for close() vs. close_nointr() vs. close_nointr_nofail()
801 * check for strerror(r) instead of strerror(-r)
803 * Use PR_SET_PROCTITLE_AREA if it becomes available in the kernel
807 * set_put(), hashmap_put() return values check. i.e. == 0 does not free()!
809 * use secure_getenv() instead of getenv() where appropriate
811 * link up selected blog stories from man pages and unit files Documentation= fields
813 Scheduled for removal or fixing:
815 * xxxOverridable dependencies (probably: fix)
