Bugfixes:
+* systemctl status *.path shows all logs, not only the ones since the unit is
+ active
+
* 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.
-* 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
-
* 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
* cgroup attrs:
- update dbus interface docs in wiki
-* journal is not closed properly at shutdown when run in a container?
-
* localed:
- - localectl: add listing support for X11 keymaps, by parsing /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/xorg.lst
- localectl: support new converted x11→console keymaps
-* logind: Class property should probably know "background" or so as value for cron jobs, and the inhibition checks should filter those out too.
+Features:
-* timer logic is confused by units which are skipped due to failing condition
- http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2013-February/008816.html
+* libsystemd-journal:
+ - return ECHILD as soon as somebody tries to reuse a journal object across a fork()
-* 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
+* libsystemd-bus:
+ - default policy (allow uid == 0 and our own uid)
+ - enforce alignment of pointers passed in
+ - when kdbus doesn't take our message without memfds, try again with memfds
+ - kdbus: generate correct bloom filter for matches
+ - implement translator service
+ - port systemd to new library
+ - implement busname unit type in systemd
+ - move to gvariant
+ - merge busctl into systemctl or so?
+ - synthesize sd_bus_message objects from kernel messages
+ - properly implement name registry ioctls for kdbus
+ - get rid of object hash table, use decision tree everyhwere instead?
+ - implement monitor logic
+ - object vtable logic
+ - longer term:
+ * priority queues
+ * worker threads
+ * priority inheritance
-Features:
+* in the final killing spree, detect processes from the root directory, and
+ complain loudly if they have argv[0][0] == '@' set.
+ https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=961044
+
+* add an option to nspawn that uses seccomp to make socket(AF_NETLINK,
+ SOCK_RAW, NETLINK_AUDIT) fail the the appropriate error code that
+ makes the audit userspace to think auditing is not available in the
+ kernel.
+
+* Introduce a way how we can kill the main process of a service with KillSignal, but all processes with SIGKILL later on
+ https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=952634
+
+* maybe add a warning to the unit file parses whern the acces mode of unit files is non-sensical.
+
+* investigate endianess issues of UUID vs. GUID
+
+* see if we can fix https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=63672
+ without dropping the location cache entirely.
+
+* dbus: when a unit failed to load (i.e. is in UNIT_ERROR state), we
+ should be able to safely try another attempt when the bus call LoadUnit() is invoked.
+
+* if pam_systemd is invoked by su from a process that is outside of a
+ any session we should probably just become a NOP, since that's
+ usually not a real user session but just some system code that just
+ needs setuid().
+
+* add a pam module that passes the hdd passphrase into the PAM stack and then expires it, for usage by gdm auto-login.
+
+* add a pam module that on password changes updates any LUKS slot where the password matches
+
+* maybe add a generator that looks for "systemd.run=" on the kernel cmdline for container usercases...
+
+* timedatctl, localectl: possibly make some commands work without the daemon, for chroot situations...
+
+* logind: add Suspend() bus calls which take timestamps to fix double suspend issues when somebody hits suspend and closes laptop quickly.
+
+* we need dynamic units
+
+* cgtop: make cgtop useful in a container
+
+* test/:
+ - add 'set -e' to scripts in test/
+ - make stuff in test/ work with separate output dir
+ - remove all the duplicated code in test/
+
+* suppress log output on shutdown when "quiet" is used
+
+* systemctl delete x.snapshot leaves no trace in logs (at least at default level).
+
+* 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.
+
+* move /usr/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/modules.devname parsing from udevd to
+ kmod static-nodes
+ call kmod as an early service, and drop CAP_MKNOD from udevd.service
+
+* seems that when we follow symlinks to units we prefer the symlink
+ destination path over /etc and /usr. We shouldn't do that. Instead
+ /etc should always override /run+/usr and also any symlink
+ destination.
+
+* remove duplicate default deps logic from fstab-generator vs. mount.c
+
+* when isolating, try to figure out a way how we implicitly can order
+ all units we stop before the isolating unit...
+
+* teach udev + logind's uaccess to somehow handle the "dead" device nodes from:
+ /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/modules.devname
+ and apply ACLs to them if they have TAG=="uaccess" in udev rules.
+
+* add ConditionArchitecture= or so
+
+* teach ConditionKernelCommandLine= globs or regexes (in order to match foobar={no,0,off})
+
+* we should log capabilities too
* 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.
+* 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
* man: remove .include documentation, and instead push people to use .d/*.conf
-* disallow .include from included files
-
-* timedatectl needs to show whether NTP is available at all
-
-* reduce caps of systemd-localed
-
-* safe_atod() is too naive, as it is vulnerable to locale parameters, should be locale independent.
-
* 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.
-* 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: refuse taking delay locks
+* 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], and maybe introduce timers.target
-
-* fedora: F20: go timer units all the way, leave cron.daily for cron
+* documentation: recommend to connect the timer units of a service to the service via Also= in [Install]
* add a tool that lists active timer units plus their next elapstion and the time the units ran last
* systemctl: maybe add "systemctl add-wants" or so...
-* man: add a link to socket activation blog from systemd.socket(5)
-
-* systemctl status: show drop-in snippets for service files in addition to service file path themesevles.
-
* 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
name for the entries to de_DE if they aren't explicitly suffixed
individually.
-* figure out what we do about hostnames/fqdn in hostnamectl/hostnamed
-
* use "log level" rather than "log priority" everywhere
-* unit_name_mangle() is currently not used on "systemctl enable" and friends, only on "systemctl start"
-
-* 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.
-* support --root= in msgcatalog compiler
-
* Honour "-" prefix for InaccessibleDirectories= and ReadOnlyDirectories= to
suppress errors of the specified path doesn't exist
so that libudev reports them as present, and systemd's .device units
will be activated.
-* merge service_kill() logic into unit_kill_context() and unify the code paths
+* merge unit_kill_common() and unit_kill_context()
* introduce ExecCondition= in services
- 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

- journal: when rotating, copy over old acls/access mode
- 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.

* 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
* currently x-systemd.timeout is lost in the initrd, since crypttab is copied into dracut, but fstab isn't
-* WorkingDirectory: support env var replacements like in ExecStart= so that people can use $HOME
-
* refuse boot if /etc/machine-id is not useful (or set taint?)
* nspawn:
interfaces to the container

+ - support rd.luks.allow-discards= kernel cmdline params in cryptsetup generator
* move debug shell to tty6 and make sure this doesn't break the gettys on tty6
- 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
* introduce Type=pid-file
-* maybe allow services with ExecStop= set, but no ExecStart=?
-

-
* 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
