Bugfixes:
+* systemctl completion doesn't want to start failed systemd-tmpfiles-setup.service
+ systemctl --system show -p Fr<TAB> default.target doesn't show anything
+
* check systemd-tmpfiles for selinux context hookup for mknod(), symlink() and similar
* swap units that are activated by one name but shown in the kernel under another are semi-broken
* properly handle .mount unit state tracking when two mount points are stacked one on top of another on the exact same mount point.
+Fedora 19:
+
+* fix match logic to add another level of disjunction/conjunction
+
+* make anaconda write timeout=0 for encrypted devices
+ https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=861123
+
+* external: maybe it is time to patch procps so that "ps" links to
+ libsystemd-logind to print a pretty service name, seat name, session
+ name in its output. Currently it only shows cgroup membership, but
+ that's sometimes kinda hard to parse for a human.
+
+* cgroup attrs:
+ - update dbus interface docs in wiki
+
+* localed:
+ - localectl: support new converted x11→console keymaps
+
+* timer logic is confused by units which are skipped due to failing condition
+ http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2013-February/008816.html
+
+* timer logic is also confused if a service it triggers hasn't finished when the next timer elapses:
+ http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2013-February/009021.html
+
+Features:
+
* add 'set -e' to scripts in test/
* make test in test/ work with separate output dir
* suppress log output on shutdown when "quiet" is used
-Fedora 19:
-* make anaconda write timeout=0 for encrypted devices
+* systemctl delete x.snapshot leaves no trace in logs (at least at default level).
-* drop no longer needed modprobe.d udlfb file (it does not belong in /etc anyway)
+* make the coredump collector tool move itself into the user's cgroup
+ so that the coredump is properly written to the user's own journal
+ file.
-* Retest multi-seat (new kms driver for displaylink)
+* move /usr/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/modules.devname parsing from udevd to
+ kmod static-nodes
+ call kmod as an early service, and drop CAP_MKNOD from udevd.service
-* make sure pkexec works fine with pam_systemd works fine with audit=0
+* systemd-delta needs to be made aware of *.d/*.conf drop-in files for
+ units.
-* create /var/log/journal/
+* seems that when we follow symlinks to units we prefer the symlink
+ destination path over /etc and /usr. We shouldn't do that. Instead
+ /etc should always override /run+/usr and also any symlink
+ destination.
-* logind: document new PrepareForSleep(false) semantics and UnlockSessions call in wiki
+* remove duplicate default deps logic from fstab-generator vs. mount.c
-* external: maybe it is time to patch procps so that "ps" links to
- libsystemd-logind to print a pretty service name, seat name, session
- name in its output. Currently it only shows cgroup membership, but
- that's sometimes kinda hard to parse for a human.
+* when isolating, try to figure out a way how we implicitly can order
+ all units we stop before the isolating unit...
-* cgroup attrs:
- - don't unconditionally filter out duplicate settings
- - support high-level cgroup setting syntax in systemctl. Example: "systemctl set-cgroup-attr MemoryLimit 5K"
- - support writte string mapping even for non-high-level settings
- - add man page for systemctl commands
- - make sure we work fine with multi-line strings
+* teach udev + logind's uaccess to somehow handle the "dead" device nodes from:
+ /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/modules.devname
+ and apply ACLs to them if they have TAG=="uaccess" in udev rules.
-* kernel cmdline switch to turn off predictable network interface names
+* matching against units is currently broken in journalctl. We really
+ need another AND level in the expressions,
+ i.e. sd_journal_add_conjunction().
-* journal is not closed properly at shutdown when run in a container?
+* add ConditionArchitecture= or so
-* introduce new "journal" group in place of adm?
+* teach ConditionKernelCommandLine= globs or regexes (in order to match foobar={no,0,off})
-* localed:
- - localectl: add listing support for X11 keymaps, by parsing /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/xorg.lst
- - localectl: support new converted x11→console keymaps
+* we should log capabilities too
-* The tag "seat-master" in udev is badly named, as it might conflict with
- actual seat names.
+* Support SO_REUSEPORT with socket activation:
+ - Let systemd maintain a pool of servers.
+ - Use for seamless upgrades, by running the new server before stopping the
+ old.
-Features:
+* after all byte-wise realloc() is slow, even on glibc, so i guess we
+ need manual exponential loops after all
+
+* BootLoaderSpec: drop allowing ext234 for $BOOT. Clarify that the
+ kernel has to be in $BOOT. Clarify that the boot loader should be
+ installed to the ESP. Define a way how an installer can figure out
+ whether a BLS compliant boot loader is installed.
+
+* man: remove .include documentation, and instead push people to use .d/*.conf
+
+* disallow .include from included files
+
+* safe_atod() is too naive, as it is vulnerable to locale parameters, should be locale independent.
-* We should not set KDSKBMODE to K_UNICODE in vconsole-setup if the
- kbd is currently in raw/off state.
+* think about requeuing jobs when daemon-reload is issued? usecase:
+ the initrd issues a reload after fstab from the host is accessible
+ and we might want to requeue the mounts local-fs acquired through
+ that automatically.
-* Honour "-" for InaccessibleDirectories= and ReadOnlyDirectories= to
+* neither pkexec nor sudo initialize environ[] from the PAM environment?
+
+* rework specifier logic so that we can distuingish OOM errors from other errors
+
+* systemd-inhibit: make taking delay locks useful: support sending SIGINT or SIGTERM on PrepareForSleep()
+
+* journal-or-kmsg is currently broken? See reverted commit 4a01181e460686d8b4a543b1dfa7f77c9e3c5ab8.
+
+* remove any syslog support from log.c -- we probably can't do this before split-off udev is gone for good
+
+* fedora: connect the timer units of a service to the service via Also= in [Install]
+
+* fedora: F20: go timer units all the way, leave cron.daily for cron
+
+* add a tool that lists active timer units plus their next elapstion and the time the units ran last
+
+* man: document the very specific env the shutdown drop-in tools live in
+
+* shutdown logging: store to EFI var, and store to USB stick?
+
+* man: extend runlevel(8) to mention that runlevels suck, and are dead. Maybe add runlevel(7) with a note about that too
+
+* systemctl: maybe add "systemctl add-wants" or so...
+
+* man: add a link to socket activation blog from systemd.socket(5)
+
+* man: add more examples to man pages
+
+* man: maybe sort directives in man pages, and take sections from --help and apply them to man too
+
+* add "# export SYSTEMD_PAGER=" to bash login
+
+* /usr/bin/service should actually show the new command line
+
+* fedora: suggest auto-restart on failure, but not on sucess and not on coredump. also, ask people to think about changing the start limit logic. Also point people to RestartPreventExitStatus=, SuccessExitStatus=
+
+* write UI tool that pops up emergency messages from the journal as notification
+
+* think about window-manager-run-as-user-service problem: exit 0 → activate shutdown.target; exit != 0 → restart service
+
+* msgcatalog determine default language of entries from the catalog
+ file name. i.e. foobar.de_DE.catalog would set the default entry
+ name for the entries to de_DE if they aren't explicitly suffixed
+ individually.
+
+* use "log level" rather than "log priority" everywhere
+
+* ensure sd_journal_seek_monotonic actually works properly.
+
+* timedate: have global on/off switches for auto-time (NTP), and auto-timezone that connman can subscribe to.
+
+* Honour "-" prefix for InaccessibleDirectories= and ReadOnlyDirectories= to
suppress errors of the specified path doesn't exist
* dev-setup.c: when running in a container, create a tiny stub udev
so that libudev reports them as present, and systemd's .device units
will be activated.
-* nspawn: investigate whether we can support the same as LXC's
- lxc.network.type=phys mode, and pass through entire network
- interfaces to the container
-
-* merge service_kill() logic into unit_kill_context() and unify the code paths
-
-* when auto-detecting the main pid of a service, only look for those processes with ppid == 1
+* merge unit_kill_common() and unit_kill_context()
* introduce ExecCondition= in services
-* if we have systemd-analyze in C "systemctl dot" should move there too
-
* EFI:
- fsck hookup for the ESP mount is missing
- write man page for efi boot generator
- - add configure switch for enabling/disabling efi stuff
- honor language efi variables for default language selection (if there are any?)
- honor timezone efi variables for default timezone selection (if there are any?)
- introduce bootctl (backed by systemd-bootd) to control temporary and persistent default boot goal plus efi variables
-* polkit: add configure switch to enable/disable polkit client side code
-
* maybe do not install getty@tty1.service symlink in /etc but in /usr?
* re-enable "make check" for gtk-doc (broken for unknown reason)
- logind: spawn user@..service on login
- logind: non-local X11 server handling
- logind: add equivalent to sd_pid_get_owner_uid() to the D-Bus API
- - pam_systemd: try to get old session id from cgroup, if audit sessionid cannot be determined
- pam: when leaving a session explicitly exclude the ReleaseSession() caller process from the killing spree
+ - logind: GetSessionByPID() should accept 0 as PID value
+ - we should probably handle SIGTERM/SIGINT to not leave dot files around, just in case
* exec: when deinitializating a tty device fix the perms and group, too, not only when initializing. Set access mode/gid to 0620/tty.
* service: watchdog logic: for testing purposes allow ping, but do not require pong
* journal:
+ - do not use magic msync() in src/journal/journal-file.c, just call fsync()
+ <alxchk> poettering: looks like msync just calls vfs_fsync
+ http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/mm/msync.c#n18
+ - import and delete pstore filesystem content at startup
- journald: also get thread ID from client, plus thread name
- journal: when waiting for journal additions in the client always sleep at least 1s or so, in order to minimize wakeups
- add API to close/reopen/get fd for journal client fd in libsystemd-journal.
- maybe add API to send pairs of iovecs via sd_journal_send
- journal: when writing journal auto-rotate if time jumps backwards
- gatewayd: should run under its own UID
- - journal: add a setgid "adm" utility to invoke from libsystemd-journal, which passes fds via STDOUT and does PK access
+ - journal: add a setgid "systemd-journal" utility to invoke from libsystemd-journal, which passes fds via STDOUT and does PK access
- journactl: support negative filtering, i.e. FOOBAR!="waldo",
and !FOOBAR for events without FOOBAR.
- journal: when rotating, copy over old acls/access mode
- - journal: document why we do not give ownership to journal files to the user that created them but use FS ACLs for that
- journal: send out marker messages every now and then, and immediately sync with fdatasync() afterwards, in order to have hourly guaranteed syncs.
- - journal: when we haven't written anything in a while, sync to disk and mark file as offline, in order to be more often than not in a clean state
- 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.
- journal: find a way to allow dropping history early, based on priority, other rules
- journal: When used on NFS, check payload hashes
- journal: When used on NFS make sure wake up sd_journal_wait() every 2s, to handle missing inotify
- - document that people can use file system ACLs to manage access to journal files, with example
- Introduce journalctl -b <nr> to show journal messages of a previous boot
- journald: check whether it is OK if the client can still modify delivered journal entries
- - journal live copy, based on libneon (client) and libmicrohttpd
+ - journal live copy, based on libneon (client) and libmicrohttpd (server)
- journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
- refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
- journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
- journalctl: show multiline log messages sanely, expand tabs, and show all valid utf8 messages
- journal: store euid in journal if it differs from uid
- journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the components would fit
+ - journalctl: make journalctl smarter, and actually check groups that have access to /var/log/journal before printing message about recomming group membership for journal access
* document:
- document unit_name_mangle()
- Document word splitting syntax for ExecStart= and friends
- document that units from /etc override those from /usr and /run
- document the exit codes when services fail before they are exec()ed
- - document that %% can be used to write % in a string that is specifier extended
- document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
+ - document in wiki how to map ical recurrence events to systemd timer unit calendar specifications
* systemctl:
- systemctl list-jobs - show dependencies
- systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
- support "systemctl stop foobar@.service" to stop all units matching a certain template
- Something is wrong with symlink handling of "autovt@.service" in "systemctl list-unit-files"
-
-* When shutdown.target is queued begin with an asynchronous sync()?
+ - add configuration/switches to use
+ freeze (http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git) and
+ standby (https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=57793) as suspend modes
* introduce ntp.service (or suchlike) as symlink that is used to arbitrate between various NTP implementations
- timer units should get the ability to trigger when:
o CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (TFD_TIMER_CANCEL_ON_SET)
o DST changes
+ - Support 2012-02~4 as syntax for specifying the fourth to last day of the month.
* update the kernel's TZ (sys_tz) when DST changes
* fedup: generator
* timedated:
- - timedated: export boolean that clarifies whether NTP is even available
- timedated: refuse time changes when NTP is on
* clean up date formatting and parsing so that all absolute/relative timestamps we format can also be parsed
- nspawn: --read-only is not applied recursively to submounts
- nspawn: make use of device cgroup controller by default
- bind mount read-only the cgroup tree higher than nspawn
+ - nspawn: investigate whether we can support the same as LXC's
+ lxc.network.type=phys mode, and pass through entire network
+ interfaces to the container
+ - nspawn: maybe add a way to drop additional caps, in addition to add additional caps
+ - nspawn: maybe explicitly reset loginuid?
+ - nspawn: move all containers to name=systemd:/containers/, and introduce externally visible names for containers
+ - nspawn: make it work for dwalsh and shared /usr containers -- tmpfs mounts as command line parameters, selinux exec context
* cryptsetup:
- cryptsetup-generator: warn if the password files are world-readable
- - cryptsetup-generator: add RequiresMountsFor= to cryptseup service files referencing a file, similar for devices
- cryptsetup-generator: allow specification of passwords in crypttab itself
- move cryptsetup key caching into kernel keyctl?
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54982
* explore multiple service instances per listening socket idea
-* testing tool for socket activation: some binary that listens on a socket and passes it on using the usual socket activation protocol to some server.
-
* shutdown: don't read-only mount anything when running in container
* MountFlags=shared acts as MountFlags=slave right now.
- syscall filter: port to libseccomp
- system-wide seccomp filter
-* systemd-analyze: data collection tools should be lightweight (few dependencies); data analysis tools can be heavyweight
-
* .device aliases need to be implemented with the "following" logic, probably.
* load-fragment: when loading a unit file via a chain of symlinks
* ConditionSecurity= should learn about IMA and SMACK
* udev:
- - remove all (misguided from day 1) userspace firmware_class handling
+ - remove src/udev/udev-builtin-firmware.c (CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER=n)
- move to LGPL
- unify utf8 validator code with shared/
- kill scsi_id
- non-cgroup resource management
- dynamic resource management with cgroups
- refreshed, longer missions statement
- - celendar time events
+ - calendar time events
+ - init=/bin/sh vs. "emergency" mode, vs. "rescue" mode, vs. "multi-user" mode, vs. "graphical" mode, and the debug shell
+ - how to create your own target
+ - instantiated apache, dovecot and so on
+ - hooking a script into various stages of shutdown/rearly booot
* allow port=0 in .socket units
* drop cap bounding set in readahead and other services
+* systemd-python:
+ - figure out a simple way to wait for journal events in a way that
+ works with ^C
+ - add documentation to systemd.daemon
+
External:
* dbus:
* kernel: add device_type = "fb", "fbcon" to class "graphics"
+* bootchart:
+ - plot per-process IO utilization
+ - group processes based on service association (cgroups)
+ - document initcall_debug
+
Regularly:
* look for close() vs. close_nointr() vs. close_nointr_nofail()
