3 * cgroup delegation issues
5 * should networkd's [BridgePort] section really be called like that?
7 * test-bus-kernel-bloom is borked
9 * systemctl status reports all services as runtime-enabled?
13 * Should systemctl status \* work on all unit types, not just .service?
15 * Dangling symlinks of .automount unit files in .wants/ directories, set up
16 automount points even when the original .automount file did not exist
17 anymore. Only the .mount unit was still around.
19 * properly handle .mount unit state tracking when two mount points are stacked one on top of another on the exact same mount point.
21 * ExecStart with unicode characters fails in strv_split_quoted:
24 Environment=ONE='one' "TWO='two two' too" THREE=
25 ExecStart=/bin/python3 -c 'import sys;print(sys.argv)' $ONE $TWO $THREE
27 * MEMORY return code is overloaded for syntax errors in the command line.
28 str_split_quoted() should return a real return code, so spawn_child can
29 report the failure properly.
33 * Fedora: add an rpmlint check that verifies that all unit files in the RPM are listed in %systemd_post macros.
35 * Fedora: post FPC ticket to move add %tmpfiles_create to the packaging guidelines
37 * Fedora: move kernel image to /usr/lib/modules/, kernel-install will take care of populating /boot
39 * Fedora: remove /etc/resolv.conf tmpfiles hack
41 * wiki: update journal format documentation for lz4 additions
43 * When lz4 gets an API for lz4 command output, make use of it to
44 compress coredumps in a way compatible with /usr/bin/lz4.
48 * port libmount hookup to use API's own inotify interface, as soon as that is table in libmount
50 * bash completion for busctl, to make it truly useful
52 * journald: broken file systems are real (btrfs), we need to handle
53 SIGBUS in some way if we cannot write or read from the disk.
54 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1151848
56 * "systemctl preset-all" should probably order the unit files it
57 operates on lexicographically before starting to work, in order to
58 ensure deterministic behaviour if two unit files conflict (like DMs
61 * resolved should optionally register additional per-interface LLMNR
62 names, so that for the container case we can establish the same name
63 (maybe "host") for referencing the server, everywhere.
65 * systemd-journal-upload (or a new, related tool): allow pushing out
66 journal messages onto the network in BSD syslog protocol,
67 continously. Default to some link-local IP mcast group, to make this
68 useful as a one-stop debugging tool.
70 * synchronize console access with BSD locks:
71 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-October/024582.html
73 * as soon as we have kdbus, and sender timestamps, revisit coalescing multiple parallel daemon reloads:
74 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-December/025862.html
76 * set $REMOTE_IP (or $REMOTE_ADDR/$REMOTE_PORT) environment variable when doing per-connection socket activation. use format introduced by xinetd or CGI for this
78 * the install state probably shouldn't get confused by generated units, think dbus1/kdbus compat!
80 * in systemctl list-unit-files: show the install value the presets would suggest for a service in a third column
82 * we should try harder to collapse start jobs for swaps that end up being the same:
83 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-November/025359.html
85 * timedated should compensate on SetTime for the time spent in polkit
87 * figure out what to do with libmount and utab?
89 * We really should have a FOREACH macro to iterate through inotify events we read, similar to KDBUS_FOREACH_ITEM
91 * figure out when we can use the coarse timers
93 * sd-resolve: drop res_query wrapping, people should call via the bus to resolved instead
95 * add "systemctl start -v foobar.service" that shows logs of a service
96 while the start command runs. This is non-trivial to do without
97 races though, since we should flush out all journal messages before
98 returning from the "systemctl stop".
100 * firstboot: make it useful to be run immediately after yum --installroot to set up a machine. (most specifically, make --copy-root-password work even if /etc/passwd already exists
102 * timesyncd + resolved: add ugly bus calls to set NTP and DNS servers per-interface, for usage by NM
104 * networkd-wait-online really should have a timeout by default
106 * 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
108 * machined: add an API so that libvirt-lxc can inform us about network interfaces being removed or added to an existing machine
110 * maybe add support for specifier expansion in user.conf, specifically DefaultEnvironment=
112 * code cleanup: retire FOREACH_WORD_QUOTED, port to unquote_first_word() loops instead
114 * introduce systemd-timesync-wait.service or so to sync on an NTP fix?
116 * systemd --user should issue sd_notify() upon reaching basic.target, not on becoming idle
118 * 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
120 * consider showing the unit names during boot up in the status output, not just the unit descriptions
122 * dhcp: do we allow configuring dhcp routes on interfaces that are not the one we got the dhcp info from?
124 * maybe allow timer units with an empty Units= setting, so that they
125 can be used for resuming the system but nothing else.
127 * what to do about udev db binary stability for apps? (raw access is not an option)
129 * maybe provide an API to allow migration of foreign PIDs into existing scopes.
131 * maybe support a new very "soft" reboot mode, that simply kills all processes, disassembles everything, flushes /run and sysvipc, and then reexecs systemd again
133 * man: document that corrupted journal files is nothing to act on
135 * man: maybe use the word "inspect" rather than "introspect"?
137 * "machinectl list" should probably show columns for OS version and IP addresses
139 * systemctl: if some operation fails, show log output?
141 * systemctl edit: add commented help text to the end, like git commit
143 * refcounting in sd-resolve is borked
145 * exponential backoff in timesyncd and resolved when we cannot reach a server
147 * tmpfiles: port to unquote_many_words(), similar to sysusers
149 * unquote_many_words() should probably be used by a lot of code that
150 currently uses FOREACH_WORD and friends. For example, most conf
151 parsing callbacks should use it.
153 * merge ~/.local/share and ~/.local/lib into one similar /usr/lib and /usr/share....
155 * systemd.show_status= should probably have a mode where only failed
159 - add LLDP client side support
160 - the DHCP lease data (such as NTP/DNS) is still made available when
161 a carrier is lost on a link. It should be removed instantly.
162 - .network setting that allows overriding of the hostname to send to the dhcp server
163 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-July/021550.html
164 - expose in the API the following bits:
165 - option 15, domain name and/or option 119, search list
166 - option 12, host name and/or option 81, fqdn
167 - option 100, 101, timezone
168 - option 123, 144, geolocation
169 - option 252, configure http proxy (PAC/wpad)
170 - networkd's dhcp server should transparently pass on the DNS and
171 NTP server list it got from user configuration and its dhcp client
172 to clients. It should also pass on its own timezone information.
173 - provide a way to define a per-network interface default metric value
174 for all routes to it. possibly a second default for DHCP routes.
175 - allow Name= to be specified repeatedly in the [Match] section. Maybe also
176 support Name=foo*|bar*|baz ?
179 - put networkd events and rtnl events at a higher priority, so that
180 we always process them before we process client requests
182 - use base64 for key presentation?
183 - add display of private key types (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4034#appendix-A.1.1)?
184 - add nice formatting of DNS timestamps
189 - DNS-SD service registration from socket units
193 - maybe randomize DNS UDP source ports
194 - maybe compare query section of DNS replies
196 * Allow multiple ExecStart= for all Type= settings, so that we can cover rescue.service nicely
198 * Add a new verb "systemctl top"
200 * add new gpt type for btrfs volumes
202 * support empty /etc boots nicely:
203 - nspawn/gpt-generator: introduce new gpt partition type for /usr
204 - fstab-generator: support systemd.volatile=yes|no|state on the kernel cmdline, too, similar to nspawn's --volatile=
206 * generator that automatically discovers btrfs subvolumes, identifies their purpose based on some xattr on them.
208 * timer units: actually add extra delays to timer units with high AccuracySec values, don't start them already when we are awake...
210 * a way for container managers to turn off getty starting via $container_headless= or so...
212 * figure out a nice way how we can let the admin know what child/sibling unit causes cgroup membership for a specific unit
214 * mount_cgroup_controllers(): symlinks need to get the label applied
216 * For timer units: add some mechanisms so that timer units that trigger immediately on boot do not have the services
217 they run added to the initial transaction and thus confuse Type=idle.
219 * 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)
221 * sd-event: generate a failure of a default event loop is executed out-of-thread
223 * add bus api to query unit file's X fields.
225 * consider adding RuntimeDirectoryUser= + RuntimeDirectoryGroup=
227 * sd-event: define more intervals where we will shift wakeup intervals around in, 1h, 6h, 24h, ...
229 * gpt-auto-generator:
230 - Support LUKS for root devices
231 - Define new partition type for encrypted swap? Support probed LUKS for encrypted swap?
232 - Make /home automount rather than mount?
234 * add generator that pulls in systemd-network from containers when
235 CAP_NET_ADMIN is set, more than the loopback device is defined, even
236 when it is otherwise off
238 * MessageQueueMessageSize= and RLimitFSIZE= (and suchlike) should use parse_iec_size().
240 * "busctl status" works only as root on dbus1, since we cannot read
243 * implement Distribute= in socket units to allow running multiple
244 service instances processing the listening socket, and open this up
247 * socket units: support creating sockets in different namespace,
248 opening it up for JoinsNamespaceOf=. This would require to fork off
249 a tiny process that joins the namespace and creates/binds the socket
250 and passes this back to PID1 via SCM_RIGHTS. This also could be used
251 to allow Chown/chgrp on sockets without requiring NSS in PID 1.
253 * New service property: maximum CPU and wallclock runtime for a service
255 * introduce bus call FreezeUnit(s, b), as well as "systemctl freeze
256 $UNIT" and "systemctl thaw $UNIT" as wrappers around this. The calls
257 should SIGSTOP all unit processes in a loop until all processes of
258 it are fully stopped. This can later be used for app management by
259 desktop UIs such as gnome-shell to freeze apps that are not visible
260 on screen, not unlike how job control works on the shell
263 - manager property enumeration was broken when systemd moved to /usr/lib/
266 - implement per-slice CPUFairScheduling=1 switch
267 - handle jointly mounted controllers correctly
268 - introduce high-level settings for RT budget, swappiness
269 - how to reset dynamically changed unit cgroup attributes sanely?
270 - when reloading configuration, apply new cgroup configuration
271 - when recursively showing the cgroup hierarchy, optionally also show
272 the hierarchies of child processes
275 - allow creating auxiliary units with the same call
276 - add field to transient units that indicate whether systemd or somebody else saves/restores its settings, for integration with libvirt
277 - ensure scope units may be started only a single time
279 * Automatically configure swap partition to use for hibernation by looking for largest swap partition on the root disk?
281 * when we detect low battery and no AC on boot, show pretty splash and refuse boot
283 * machined, localed: when we try to kill an empty cgroup, generate an ESRCH error over the bus
285 * libsystemd-journal, libsystemd-login, libudev: add calls to easily attach these objects to sd-event event loops
287 * be more careful what we export on the bus as (usec_t) 0 and (usec_t) -1
289 * unify dispatch table in systemctl_main() and friends
291 * 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
293 * After coming back from hibernation reset hibernation swap partition using the /dev/snapshot ioctl APIs
295 * If we try to find a unit via a dangling symlink, generate a clean
296 error. Currently, we just ignore it and read the unit from the search
299 * refuse boot if /etc/os-release is missing or /etc/machine-id cannot be set up
301 * btrfs raid assembly: some .device jobs stay stuck in the queue
303 * make sure gdm does not use multi-user-x but the new default X configuration file, and then remove multi-user-x from systemd
305 * man: the documentation of Restart= currently is very misleading and suggests the tools from ExecStartPre= might get restarted.
307 * load .d/*.conf dropins for device units
309 * allow implementation of InaccessibleDirectories=/ plus
310 ReadOnlyDirectories=... for whitelisting files for a service.
313 - make dsrt happy, and change userspace header for kdbus to yyyyuta{tv}v
314 - kdbus: remove NameOwnerChanged kernel messages for monitors
315 - kdbus: PID/TID goes missing for method calls from outside the PID namespace?
316 - kdbus: the kernel should not allow messages to be delivered that have a reply serial != 0, reply-expect unset, but no appropriate window
317 - kdbus: timestamps on kernel's NameOwnerChanged messages?
318 - kdbus' busnames.target should get pulled in by basic.target
319 - Ignore .busname units on classic D-Bus boots, systemd-resolved cannot be started on kdbus
320 without the active policy and should get a Wants=org.freedesktop.resolve1.busname to
322 - port to sd-resolve for connecting to TCP dbus servers
323 - kdbus: maybe add controlling tty and ppid metadata fields
324 - 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
325 - when kdbus does not take our message without memfds, try again with memfds
326 - introduce sd_bus_emit_object_added()/sd_bus_emit_object_removed() that automatically includes the build-in interfaces in the list
327 - see if we can drop more message validation on the sending side
328 - add API to clone sd_bus_message objects
329 - make AddMatch calls on dbus1 transports async?
330 - kdbus: matches against source or destination pids for an "strace -p"-like feel. Problem: The PID info needs to be available in userspace too...
331 - longer term: priority inheritance
334 - NameLost/NameAcquired obsolete
337 - update systemd.special(7) to mention that dbus.socket is only about the compatibility socket now
338 - test bloom filter generation indexes
339 - bus-proxy: when passing messages from kdbus, make sure we properly
340 handle the case where a large number of fds is appended that we
341 cannot pass into sendmsg() of the AF_UNIX sokcet (which only accepts
343 - kdbus: introduce a concept of "send-only" connections
344 - kdbus: add counter for refused unicast messages that is passed out via the RECV ioctl. SImilar to the counter for dropped multicast messages we already have.
347 - allow multiple signal handlers per signal?
348 - document chaining of signal handler for SIGCHLD and child handlers
350 * in the final killing spree, detect processes from the root directory, and
351 complain loudly if they have argv[0][0] == '@' set.
352 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=961044
354 * investigate endianness issues of UUID vs. GUID
356 * dbus: when a unit failed to load (i.e. is in UNIT_ERROR state), we
357 should be able to safely try another attempt when the bus call LoadUnit() is invoked.
359 * add a pam module that passes the hdd passphrase into the PAM stack and then expires it, for usage by gdm auto-login.
361 * add a pam module that on password changes updates any LUKS slot where the password matches
363 * maybe add a generator that looks for "systemd.run=" on the kernel cmdline for container usercases...
365 * cgtop: make cgtop useful in a container
368 - add 'set -e' to scripts in test/
369 - make stuff in test/ work with separate output dir
371 * seems that when we follow symlinks to units we prefer the symlink
372 destination path over /etc and /usr. We should not do that. Instead
373 /etc should always override /run+/usr and also any symlink
376 * when isolating, try to figure out a way how we implicitly can order
377 all units we stop before the isolating unit...
379 * teach ConditionKernelCommandLine= globs or regexes (in order to match foobar={no,0,off})
381 * after all byte-wise realloc() is slow, even on glibc, so i guess we
382 need manual exponential loops after all
384 * BootLoaderSpec: Clarify that the kernel has to be in $BOOT. Clarify
385 that the boot loader should be installed to the ESP. Define a way
386 how an installer can figure out whether a BLS compliant boot loader
389 * think about requeuing jobs when daemon-reload is issued? usecase:
390 the initrd issues a reload after fstab from the host is accessible
391 and we might want to requeue the mounts local-fs acquired through
394 * systemd-inhibit: make taking delay locks useful: support sending SIGINT or SIGTERM on PrepareForSleep()
396 * journal-or-kmsg is currently broken? See reverted commit 4a01181e460686d8b4a543b1dfa7f77c9e3c5ab8.
398 * remove any syslog support from log.c -- we probably cannot do this before split-off udev is gone for good
400 * shutdown logging: store to EFI var, and store to USB stick?
402 * write UI tool that pops up emergency messages from the journal as notification
404 * think about window-manager-run-as-user-service problem: exit 0 → activate shutdown.target; exit != 0 → restart service
406 * merge unit_kill_common() and unit_kill_context()
408 * introduce ExecCondition= in services
411 - honor language efi variables for default language selection (if there are any?)
412 - honor timezone efi variables for default timezone selection (if there are any?)
413 - change bootctl to be backed by systemd-bootd to control temporary and persistent default boot goal plus efi variables
415 * maybe do not install getty@tty1.service symlink in /etc but in /usr?
417 * re-enable "make check" for gtk-doc (broken for unknown reason)
419 * fstab: add new mount option x-systemd-after=/foobar/waldo to allow manual dependencies to other mount points
420 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=812826
422 * print a nicer explanation if people use variable/specifier expansion in ExecStart= for the first word
424 * mount: turn dependency information from /proc/self/mountinfo into dependency information between systemd units.
427 - logind: optionally, ignore idle-hint logic for autosuspend, block suspend as long as a session is around
428 - When we update the kernel all kind of hibernation should be prohibited until shutdown/reboot
429 - logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
430 - Add pretty name for seats in logind
431 - logind: allow showing logout dialog from system?
432 - we should probably handle SIGTERM/SIGINT to not leave dot files around, just in case
433 - session scopes/user unit: add RequiresMountsFor for the home directory of the user
434 - add Suspend() bus calls which take timestamps to fix double suspend issues when somebody hits suspend and closes laptop quickly.
435 - if pam_systemd is invoked by su from a process that is outside of a
436 any session we should probably just become a NOP, since that's
437 usually not a real user session but just some system code that just
439 - logind: make the Suspend()/Hibernate() bus calls wait for the for
440 the job to be completed. before returning, so that clients can wait
441 for "systemctl suspend" to finish to know when the suspending is
443 - logind: when the power button is pressed short, just popup a
444 logout dialog. If it is pressed for 1s, do the usual
445 shutdown. Inspiration are Macs here.
446 - logind: allow users to kill or lock their own sessions
447 - expose "Locked" property on logind sesison objects
448 - given that logind now lets PID 1 do all nasty work, we can
449 probably reduce the capability set it retains substantially.
450 (we need CAP_SYS_ADMIN for drmSetMaster(), so maybe not worth it)
451 - expose orientation sensors and tablet mode through logind
453 * exec: when deinitializating a tty device fix the perms and group, too, not only when initializing. Set access mode/gid to 0620/tty.
455 * service: watchdog logic: for testing purposes allow ping, but do not require pong
458 - consider introducing implicit _TTY= + _PPID= + _EUID= + _EGID= + _FSUID= + _FSGID= fields
459 - import and delete pstore filesystem content at startup
460 - journald: also get thread ID from client, plus thread name
461 - journal: when waiting for journal additions in the client always sleep at least 1s or so, in order to minimize wakeups
462 - add API to close/reopen/get fd for journal client fd in libsystemd-journal.
463 - fallback to /dev/log based logging in libsystemd-journal, if we cannot log natively?
464 - declare the local journal protocol stable in the wiki interface chart
465 - journal: reuse XZ context
466 - sd-journal: speed up sd_journal_get_data() with transparent hash table in bg
467 - journald: when dropping msgs due to ratelimit make sure to write
468 "dropped %u messages" not only when we are about to print the next
469 message that works, but alraedy after a short tiemout
470 - check if we can make journalctl by default use --follow mode inside of less if called without args?
471 - maybe add API to send pairs of iovecs via sd_journal_send
472 - journal: when writing journal auto-rotate if time jumps backwards
473 - journal: add a setgid "systemd-journal" utility to invoke from libsystemd-journal, which passes fds via STDOUT and does PK access
474 - journactl: support negative filtering, i.e. FOOBAR!="waldo",
475 and !FOOBAR for events without FOOBAR.
476 - journal: send out marker messages every now and then, and immediately sync with fdatasync() afterwards, in order to have hourly guaranteed syncs.
477 - 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.
478 - journal: find a way to allow dropping history early, based on priority, other rules
479 - journal: When used on NFS, check payload hashes
480 - journal live copy, based on libneon (client) and libmicrohttpd (server)
481 - journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
482 - refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
483 - journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
484 - journal: deal nicely with byte-by-byte copied files, especially regards header
485 - journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the components would fit
486 - Replace utmp, wtmp, btmp, and lastlog completely with journal
487 - journalctl: instead --after-cursor= maybe have a --cursor=XYZ+1 syntax?
488 - when a kernel driver logs in a tight loop, we should ratelimit that too.
489 - journald: optionally, log debug messages to /run but everything else to /var
490 - journald: when we drop syslog messages because the syslog socket is
491 full, make sure to write how many messages are lost as first thing
492 to syslog when it works again.
493 - journald: make sure ratelimit is actually really per-service with the new cgroup changes
494 - change systemd-journal-flush into a service that stays around during
495 boot, and causes the journal to be moved back to /run on shutdown,
496 so that we do not keep /var busy. This needs to happen synchronously,
497 hence doing this via signals is not going to work.
498 - optionally support running journald from the command line for testing purposes in external projects
499 - journald: allow per-priority and per-service retention times when rotating/vacuuming
500 - journald: make use of uid-range.h to managed uid ranges to split
502 - journalctl: add the ability to look for the most recent process of a binary. journalctl /usr/bin/X11 --pid=-1 or so...
503 - improve journalctl performance by loading journal files
504 lazily. Encode just enough information in the file name, so that we
505 do not have to open it to know that it is not interesting for us, for
506 the most common operations.
509 - document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fields in
510 [Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
511 - man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
512 - document the exit codes when services fail before they are exec()ed
513 - document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
514 - document in wiki how to map ical recurrence events to systemd timer unit calendar specifications
515 - add a man page containing packaging guidelines and recommending usage of things like Documentation=, PrivateTmp=, PrivateNetwork= and ReadOnlyDirectories=/etc /usr.
516 - document systemd-journal-flush.service properly
517 - documentation: recommend to connect the timer units of a service to the service via Also= in [Install]
518 - man: document the very specific env the shutdown drop-in tools live in
519 - man: extend runlevel(8) to mention that runlevels suck, and are dead. Maybe add runlevel(7) with a note about that too
520 - man: add more examples to man pages
521 - man: maybe sort directives in man pages, and take sections from --help and apply them to man too
524 - systemctl list-jobs - show dependencies
525 - add systemctl switch to dump transaction without executing it
526 - Add a verbose mode to "systemctl start" and friends that explains what is being done or not done
527 - "systemctl disable" on a static unit prints no message and does
528 nothing. "systemctl enable" does nothing, and gives a bad message
529 about it. Should fix both to print nice actionable messages.
530 - print nice message from systemctl --failed if there are no entries shown, and hook that into ExecStartPre of rescue.service/emergency.service
531 - add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
532 - systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into does not exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
533 - systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
534 - support "systemctl stop foobar@.service" to stop all units matching a certain template
535 - Something is wrong with symlink handling of "autovt@.service" in "systemctl list-unit-files"
536 - better error message if you run systemctl without systemd running
537 - systemctl status output should should include list of triggering units and their status
540 - "systemctl mask" should find all names by which a unit is accessible
541 (i.e. by scanning for symlinks to it) and link them all to /dev/null
542 - systemctl list-unit-files should list generated files (and probably with a new state "generated" for them, or so)
545 - timer units should get the ability to trigger when:
546 o CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (TFD_TIMER_CANCEL_ON_SET)
548 - Support 2012-02~4 as syntax for specifying the fourth to last day of the month.
549 - calendarspec: support value ranges with ".." notation. Example: 2013-4..8-1
550 - 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
551 - Modulate timer frequency based on battery state
553 * add libsystemd-password or so to query passwords during boot using the password agent logic
555 * 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().
557 * fedup: add --unit to systemctl switch-root somehow
558 * fedup: do not delete initrd on switch-root
561 * clean up date formatting and parsing so that all absolute/relative timestamps we format can also be parsed
563 * on shutdown: move utmp, wall, audit logic all into PID 1 (or logind?), get rid of systemd-update-utmp-runlevel
565 * make repeated alt-ctrl-del presses printing a dump, or even force a reboot without
566 waiting for the timeout
568 * hostnamed: before returning information from /etc/machine-info.conf check the modification data and reread. Similar for localed, ...
570 * currently x-systemd.timeout is lost in the initrd, since crypttab is copied into dracut, but fstab is not
573 - bind mount read-only the cgroup tree higher than nspawn
574 - refuses to boot containers without /etc/machine-id (OK?), and with empty /etc/machine-id (not OK).
575 - support taking a btrfs snapshot at startup and dropping it afterwards
576 - introduce machines.target to order after all nspawn instances
577 - systemd-nspawn@.service should fail if some nspawn arg is invalid, with Type=notify
578 - PID 1 doesn't apply nspawns devices cgroup policy
581 - cryptsetup-generator: allow specification of passwords in crypttab itself
582 - move cryptsetup key caching into kernel keyctl?
583 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54982
584 - support rd.luks.allow-discards= kernel cmdline params in cryptsetup generator
586 * hw watchdog: optionally try to use the preset watchdog timeout instead of always overriding it
587 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54712
589 * after deserializing sockets in socket.c we should reapply sockopts and things
591 * make timer units go away after they elapsed
593 * move PID 1 segfaults to /var/lib/systemd/coredump?
595 * create /sbin/init symlinks from the build system
597 * allow writing multiple conditions in unit files on one line
599 * MountFlags=shared acts as MountFlags=slave right now.
601 * drop PID 1 reloading, only do reexecing (difficult: Reload()
602 currently is properly synchronous, Reexec() is weird, because we
603 cannot delay the response properly until we are back, so instead of
604 being properly synchronous we just keep open the fd and close it
605 when done. That means clients do not get a successful method reply,
606 but much rather a disconnect on success.
608 * properly handle loop back mounts via fstab, especially regards to fsck/passno
610 * initialize the hostname from the fs label of /, if /etc/hostname does not exist?
612 * rename "userspace" to "core-os"
614 * load-fragment: when loading a unit file via a chain of symlinks
615 verify that it is not masked via any of the names traversed.
617 * introduce Type=pid-file
619 * change Requires=basic.target to RequisiteOverride=basic.target
621 * when breaking cycles drop sysv services first, then services from /run, then from /etc, then from /usr
623 * automount: implement expire:
624 - set superblock timeout AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_TIMEOUT_CMD
625 - periodically run AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_EXPIRE_CMD
626 - every timeout/4 (original autofs logic)
627 - blocking, needs a thread
629 - receive expire packet on pipe if kernel tells the timeout is over
631 - answer expire packet on pipe with AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_{READY,FAIL}_CMD
632 - AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_EXPIRE_CMD returns
634 * ExecOnFailure=/usr/bin/foo
639 - add trigger --subsystem-match=usb/usb_device device
640 - reimport udev db after MOVE events for devices without dev_t
642 * 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
644 * introduce mix of BindTo and Requisite
646 * There's currently no way to cancel fsck (used to be possible via C-c or c on the console)
648 * add option to sockets to avoid activation. Instead just drop packets/connections, see http://cyberelk.net/tim/2012/02/15/portreserve-systemd-solution/
650 * default unix qlen is too small (10). bump sysctl? add sockopt?
652 * save coredump in Windows/Mozilla minidump format
654 * support crash reporting operation modes (https://live.gnome.org/GnomeOS/Design/Whiteboards/ProblemReporting)
656 * default to actual 32-bit PIDs, via /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max
658 * be able to specify a forced restart of service A where service B depends on, in case B
659 needs to be auto-respawned?
661 * when a bus name of a service disappears from the bus make sure to queue further activation requests
664 - apply "x" on "D" too (see patch from William Douglas)
666 * for services: do not set $HOME in services unless requested
668 * hide PAM options in fragment parser when compile time disabled
670 * when we automatically restart a service, ensure we restart its rdeps, too.
672 * allow Type=simple with PIDFile=
673 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=723942
675 * move PAM code into its own binary
677 * implement Register= switch in .socket units to enable registration
678 in Avahi, RPC and other socket registration services.
680 * make sure systemd-ask-password-wall does not shutdown systemd-ask-password-console too early
682 * add ReloadSignal= for configuring a reload signal to use
684 * verify that the AF_UNIX sockets of a service in the fs still exist
685 when we start a service in order to avoid confusion when a user
686 assumes starting a service is enough to make it accessible
688 * Make it possible to set the keymap independently from the font on
689 the kernel cmdline. Right now setting one resets also the other.
691 * and a dbus call to generate target from current state
693 * GC unreferenced jobs (such as .device jobs)
695 * write blog stories about:
696 - hwdb: what belongs into it, lsusb

713 - hooking a script into various stages of shutdown/rearly booot
715 * allow port=0 in .socket units
717 * recreate systemd's D-Bus private socket file on SIGUSR2
719 * Support --test based on current system state
721 * investigate whether the gnome pty helper should be moved into systemd, to provide cgroup support.
723 * maybe introduce ExecRestartPre=
725 * dot output for --test showing the 'initial transaction'
727 * fingerprint.target, wireless.target, gps.target, netdevice.target
730 - figure out a simple way to wait for journal events in a way that
732 - add documentation to systemd.daemon
735 - plot per-process IO utilization
736 - group processes based on service association (cgroups)

742 network devices where possible, so we can safely rely
744 - check MTUBytes parsing (expecting size_t but we are using unsigned)
747 - add support for more attribute types
748 - inbuilt piping support (essentially degenerate async)? see loopback-setup.c and other places
751 - add more keys to [Route] and [Address] sections

765 - figure out how much we can increase Maximum Message Size
766 - export timezone information
767 - support RFC4702 (pass FQDN)
770 - add functions to set previously stored IPv6 addresses on startup and get
771 them at shutdown; store them in client->ia_na
772 - write more test cases
773 - implement and do duplicate address detection, see rfc 4862, 5.4.
774 - implement reconfigure support, see 5.3., 15.11. and 22.20.
775 - implement information request, see 1.2. and 18.1.5.
776 - implement support for temporary adressess (IA_TA)
777 - implement dhcpv6 authentication

781 - some servers don't do rapid commit without a filled in IA_NA, verify
787 - natively watch for dbus-*.service symlinks (PENDING)
788 - teach dbus to activate all services it finds in /etc/systemd/services/org-*.service
790 * fix alsa mixer restore to not print error when no config is stored
792 * make cryptsetup lower --iter-time
794 * patch kernel for xattr support in /dev, /proc/, /sys?
796 * kernel: add device_type = "fb", "fbcon" to class "graphics"
798 * drop accountsservice's StandardOutput=syslog and Type=dbus fields
800 * dbus upstream still refers to dbus.target and should not
802 * dbus: in fedora, make /var/lib/dbus/machine-id a symlink to /etc/machine-id
804 * add "# export SYSTEMD_PAGER=" to bash login
806 * /usr/bin/service should actually show the new command line
808 * 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=
810 * fedora: F20: go timer units all the way, leave cron.daily for cron
812 * neither pkexec nor sudo initialize environ[] from the PAM environment?
814 * fedora: update policy to declare access mode and ownership of unit files to root:root 0644, and add an rpmlint check for it
816 * register catalog database signature as file magic
818 * zsh shell completion:
819 - <command> <verb> -<TAB> should complete options, but currently does not
820 - systemctl add-wants,add-requires
825 * look for close() vs. close_nointr() vs. close_nointr_nofail()
827 * check for strerror(r) instead of strerror(-r)
829 * Use PR_SET_PROCTITLE_AREA if it becomes available in the kernel
833 * set_put(), hashmap_put() return values check. i.e. == 0 does not free()!
835 * use secure_getenv() instead of getenv() where appropriate
837 * link up selected blog stories from man pages and unit files Documentation= fields
839 Scheduled for removal or fixing:
841 * xxxOverridable dependencies (probably: fix)
