automount points even when the original .automount file did not exist
anymore. Only the .mount unit was still around.
-* properly handle .mount unit state tracking when two mount points are stacked one on top of another on the exact same mount point.
-
* ExecStart with unicode characters fails in strv_split_quoted:
[Service]
* Fedora: add an rpmlint check that verifies that all unit files in the RPM are listed in %systemd_post macros.
-* Fedora: post FPC ticket to move add %tmpfiles_create to the packaging guidelines
-
* Fedora: move kernel image to /usr/lib/modules/, kernel-install will take care of populating /boot
* Fedora: remove /etc/resolv.conf tmpfiles hack
* When lz4 gets an API for lz4 command output, make use of it to
compress coredumps in a way compatible with /usr/bin/lz4.
+Release 219 preparations:
+
+* support mbr raw disk images in systemd-nspawn, so that we can boot
+ fedora cloud images unmodified (change suffix for search for files
+ .gpt → .raw).
+
+* dkr import hash verification
+
+* rework journald sigbus stuff to use mutex
+
+* create importd daemon, move "systemd-import" tool into machinectl
+
+* change default container location from /var/lib/container to /var/lib/machines
+
+* merge input_id and evdev_id into generic input_id
+
Features:
-* increase CORE resource limit by default for all services, so that coredumpctl becomes useful
+* machine: we should fake a read-only flag for simple directory images via a flag file
-* firstboot: make it useful to be run immediately after yum --installroot to set up a machine.
+* import: support import from local files, and export to local files
-* timesyncd + resolved: add ugly bus calls to set NTP and DNS servers per-interface, for usage by NM
+* import: add "pull-tar" support, for downloading/verifying tarballs
-* networkd-wait-online really should have a timeout by default
+* import: support compressed raw images
-* expose orientation sensors through logind
+* import: support verifiying raw images with gpg
-* 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
+* core/cgroup: support net_cls modules, and support automatically allocating class ids, then add support for making firewall changes depending on it, to implement a per-service firewall
-* resolved: maybe randomize DNS UDP source ports
+* bus-proxy: reload policy when PID 1 reports a reload
-* resolved: maybe compare query section of DNS replies
+* the dbus1 connection user id is actually the euid, not the uid, and creds should return that
-* machined: add an API so that libvirt-lxc can inform us about network interfaces being removed or added to an existing machine
+* introduce systemd-nspawn-ephemeral@.service, and hook it into "machinectl start" with a new --ephemeral switch
-* maybe add support for specifier expansion in user.conf, specifically DefaultEnvironment=
+* nspawn should lock container images while running off them
-* kdbus: set the bus-wide creds sender requirement mask to ANY
+* logind,machined: add generic catch-all polkit verbs for most priviliged operations, similar to systemd itself
-* kdbus: busnames.target should get pulled in by basic.target
+* "machinectl status" should also show internal logs of the container in question
-* code cleanup: retire FOREACH_WORD_QUOTED, port to unquote_first_word() loops instead
+* nspawn: don't change superblock mount options from nspawn for cgroup hierarchies
+
+* "machinectl list-images" should show os-release data, as well as machine-info data (including deployment level)
+
+* nspawn: when start a container "foobar" look for its configuration in a file "foobar.nspawn" in /etc/systemd/nspawn/ as well as next to the actualy directory or image to boot
+
+* Port various tools to make use of verbs.[ch], where applicable
+
+* Check all invocations of access() and consider turning them into laccess()
+
+* "machinectl history"
+
+* "machinectl diff"
+
+* "machinectl commit" that takes a writable snapshot of a tree, invokes a shell in it, and marks it read-only after use
+
+* "machinectl status" should show 10 most recent log lines of both the host logs of the unit of the machine, plus the logs generated in the machine
+
+* add transparent btrfs pool in a loopback file in /var if btrfs operations (such as systemd-import pull-dkr) are used and /var is not a btrfs file system
+
+* systemd-nspawn -x should support ephemeral instances of gpt images
+
+* move machinectl's mount and copy commands into machined
+
+* hostnamectl: show root image uuid
+
+* sysfs set api in libudev is not const
+
+* Find a solution for SMACK capabilities stuff:
+ http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-December/026188.html
+
+* port libmount hookup to use API's own inotify interface, as soon as that is table in libmount
+
+* "systemctl preset-all" should probably order the unit files it
+ operates on lexicographically before starting to work, in order to
+ ensure deterministic behaviour if two unit files conflict (like DMs
+ do, for example)
+
+* resolved should optionally register additional per-interface LLMNR
+ names, so that for the container case we can establish the same name
+ (maybe "host") for referencing the server, everywhere.
+
+* systemd-journal-upload (or a new, related tool): allow pushing out
+ journal messages onto the network in BSD syslog protocol,
+ continuously. Default to some link-local IP mcast group, to make this
+ useful as a one-stop debugging tool.
+
+* synchronize console access with BSD locks:
+ http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-October/024582.html
+
+* as soon as we have kdbus, and sender timestamps, revisit coalescing multiple parallel daemon reloads:
+ http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-December/025862.html
+
+* 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
-* logind: when the power button is pressed short, just popup a logout dialog. If it is pressed for 1s, do the usual shutdown. Inspiration are Macs here.
+* the install state probably shouldn't get confused by generated units, think dbus1/kdbus compat!
-* optionally support running journald from the command line for testing purposes in external projects
+* in systemctl list-unit-files: show the install value the presets would suggest for a service in a third column
-* journald: allow per-priority and per-service retention times when rotating/vacuuming
+* we should try harder to collapse start jobs for swaps that end up being the same:
+ http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-November/025359.html
+
+* timedated should compensate on SetTime for the time spent in polkit
+
+* figure out when we can use the coarse timers
+
+* sd-resolve: drop res_query wrapping, people should call via the bus to resolved instead
+
+* add "systemctl start -v foobar.service" that shows logs of a service
+ while the start command runs. This is non-trivial to do without
+ races though, since we should flush out all journal messages before
+ returning from the "systemctl stop".
+
+* 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
+
+* timesyncd + resolved: add ugly bus calls to set NTP and DNS servers per-interface, for usage by NM
+
+* networkd-wait-online really should have a timeout by default
+
+* 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
+
+* machined: add an API so that libvirt-lxc can inform us about network interfaces being removed or added to an existing machine
+
+* maybe add support for specifier expansion in user.conf, specifically DefaultEnvironment=
+
+* code cleanup: retire FOREACH_WORD_QUOTED, port to unquote_first_word() loops instead
* introduce systemd-timesync-wait.service or so to sync on an NTP fix?
* systemd --user should issue sd_notify() upon reaching basic.target, not on becoming idle
-* 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
-
* consider showing the unit names during boot up in the status output, not just the unit descriptions
* dhcp: do we allow configuring dhcp routes on interfaces that are not the one we got the dhcp info from?
* maybe provide an API to allow migration of foreign PIDs into existing scopes.
-* PID 1 doesn't apply nspawns devices cgroup policy
-
* maybe support a new very "soft" reboot mode, that simply kills all processes, disassembles everything, flushes /run and sysvipc, and then reexecs systemd again
* man: document that corrupted journal files is nothing to act on
-* bus-proxy: when passing messages from kdbus, make sure we properly
- handle the case where a large number of fds is appended that we
- cannot pass into sendmsg() of the AF_UNIX sokcet (which only accepts
- 253 messages)
-
* man: maybe use the word "inspect" rather than "introspect"?
-* introduce machines.target to order after all nspawn instances
-
-* systemd-nspawn@.service should fail if some nspawn arg is invalid, with Type=notify
-
* "machinectl list" should probably show columns for OS version and IP addresses
-* systemctl: if it fails, show log output?
+* systemctl: if some operation fails, show log output?
-* maybe add "systemctl edit" that copies unit files from /usr/lib/systemd/system to /etc/systemd/system and invokes vim on them
+* systemctl edit:
+- allow creation of units from scratch
+- use equvalent of cat() to insert existing config as a comment, prepended with #.
+ Upon editor exit, lines with one # are removed, lines with two # are left with one #, etc.
* refcounting in sd-resolve is borked
* exponential backoff in timesyncd and resolved when we cannot reach a server
-* journald: make use of uid-range.h to managed uid ranges to split
- journals in.
-
* tmpfiles: port to unquote_many_words(), similar to sysusers
* unquote_many_words() should probably be used by a lot of code that
currently uses FOREACH_WORD and friends. For example, most conf
parsing callbacks should use it.
-* logind: make the Suspend()/Hibernate() bus calls wait for the for
- the job to be completed. before returning, so that clients can wait
- for "systemctl suspend" to finish to know when the suspending is
- complete.
-
* merge ~/.local/share and ~/.local/lib into one similar /usr/lib and /usr/share....
-* journald: allows specification of UID range for splitting up journal files
-
* systemd.show_status= should probably have a mode where only failed
units are shown.
- edns0
- dname
- cname on PTR (?)
-
-* Ignore .busname units on classic D-Bus boots, systemd-resolved cannot be started on kdbus
- without the active policy and should get a Wants=org.freedesktop.resolve1.busname to
- pull-in the policy.
+ - maybe randomize DNS UDP source ports
+ - maybe compare query section of DNS replies
* Allow multiple ExecStart= for all Type= settings, so that we can cover rescue.service nicely
* Add a new verb "systemctl top"
-* logind: allow users to kill or lock their own sessions
-
* add new gpt type for btrfs volumes
* support empty /etc boots nicely:
* generator that automatically discovers btrfs subvolumes, identifies their purpose based on some xattr on them.
-* support setting empty environment variables with Environment= and EnvironmentFile=
-
* timer units: actually add extra delays to timer units with high AccuracySec values, don't start them already when we are awake...
* a way for container managers to turn off getty starting via $container_headless= or so...
* figure out a nice way how we can let the admin know what child/sibling unit causes cgroup membership for a specific unit
-* journalctl: add the ability to look for the most recent process of a binary. journalctl /usr/bin/X11 --pid=-1 or so...
-
* mount_cgroup_controllers(): symlinks need to get the label applied
* For timer units: add some mechanisms so that timer units that trigger immediately on boot do not have the services
* sd-event: generate a failure of a default event loop is executed out-of-thread
-* expose "Locked" property on logind sesison objects
-
* add bus api to query unit file's X fields.
* consider adding RuntimeDirectoryUser= + RuntimeDirectoryGroup=
- Define new partition type for encrypted swap? Support probed LUKS for encrypted swap?
- Make /home automount rather than mount?
-* improve journalctl performance by loading journal files
- lazily. Encode just enough information in the file name, so that we
- do not have to open it to know that it is not interesting for us, for
- the most common operations.
-
* add generator that pulls in systemd-network from containers when
CAP_NET_ADMIN is set, more than the loopback device is defined, even
when it is otherwise off
desktop UIs such as gnome-shell to freeze apps that are not visible
on screen, not unlike how job control works on the shell
-* completions:
- - manager property enumeration was broken when systemd moved to /usr/lib/
-
* cgroups:
- implement per-slice CPUFairScheduling=1 switch
- handle jointly mounted controllers correctly
* refuse boot if /etc/os-release is missing or /etc/machine-id cannot be set up
-* given that logind now lets PID 1 do all nasty work, we can
- probably reduce the capability set it retains substantially.
- (we need CAP_SYS_ADMIN for drmSetMaster(), so maybe not worth it)
-
* btrfs raid assembly: some .device jobs stay stuck in the queue
* make sure gdm does not use multi-user-x but the new default X configuration file, and then remove multi-user-x from systemd
ReadOnlyDirectories=... for whitelisting files for a service.
* sd-bus:
- - kdbus: maybe add euid, egid, fsuid, fsgid, controlling tty and ppid metadata fields
+ - GetAllProperties() on a non-existing object does not result in a failure currently
+ - kdbus: process fd=-1 for incoming msgs
+ - make dsrt happy, and change userspace header for kdbus to yyyyuta{tv}v
+ - port to sd-resolve for connecting to TCP dbus servers
+ - kdbus: maybe add controlling tty metadata fields
- 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
- when kdbus does not take our message without memfds, try again with memfds
- - systemd-bus-proxyd needs to enforce good old XML policy
- - allow updating attach flags during runtime
- - pid1: peek into activating message when activating a service
- - introduce sd_bus_emit_object_added()/sd_bus_emit_object_removed() that automatically includes the build-in interfaces in the list
- - port to sd-resolve for connecting to TCP dbus servers
- see if we can drop more message validation on the sending side
- add API to clone sd_bus_message objects
- make AddMatch calls on dbus1 transports async?
- path escaping
- update systemd.special(7) to mention that dbus.socket is only about the compatibility socket now
- test bloom filter generation indexes
+ - bus-proxy: when passing messages from kdbus, make sure we properly
+ handle the case where a large number of fds is appended that we
+ cannot pass into sendmsg() of the AF_UNIX sokcet (which only accepts
+ 253 messages)
+ - kdbus: introduce a concept of "send-only" connections
+ - 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.
* sd-event
- allow multiple signal handlers per signal?
* teach ConditionKernelCommandLine= globs or regexes (in order to match foobar={no,0,off})
-* after all byte-wise realloc() is slow, even on glibc, so i guess we
- need manual exponential loops after all
-
* BootLoaderSpec: 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
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().
+ - logind: make the Suspend()/Hibernate() bus calls wait for the for
+ the job to be completed. before returning, so that clients can wait
+ for "systemctl suspend" to finish to know when the suspending is
+ complete.
+ - logind: when the power button is pressed short, just popup a
+ logout dialog. If it is pressed for 1s, do the usual
+ shutdown. Inspiration are Macs here.
+ - logind: allow users to kill or lock their own sessions
+ - expose "Locked" property on logind sesison objects
+ - given that logind now lets PID 1 do all nasty work, we can
+ probably reduce the capability set it retains substantially.
+ (we need CAP_SYS_ADMIN for drmSetMaster(), so maybe not worth it)
+ - expose orientation sensors and tablet mode through logind
* exec: when deinitializating a tty device fix the perms and group, too, not only when initializing. Set access mode/gid to 0620/tty.
- 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: send out marker messages every now and then, and immediately sync with fdatasync() afterwards, in order to have hourly guaranteed syncs.
+ - journal: store timestamp of journal_file_set_offline() int he header,
+ so it is possible to display when the file was last synced.
- 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 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.
boot, and causes the journal to be moved back to /run on shutdown,
so that we do not keep /var busy. This needs to happen synchronously,
hence doing this via signals is not going to work.
+ - optionally support running journald from the command line for testing purposes in external projects
+ - journald: allow per-priority and per-service retention times when rotating/vacuuming
+ - journald: make use of uid-range.h to managed uid ranges to split
+ journals in.
+ - journalctl: add the ability to look for the most recent process of a binary. journalctl /usr/bin/X11 --pid=-1 or so...
+ - improve journalctl performance by loading journal files
+ lazily. Encode just enough information in the file name, so that we
+ do not have to open it to know that it is not interesting for us, for
+ the most common operations.
* document:
- document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fields in
* currently x-systemd.timeout is lost in the initrd, since crypttab is copied into dracut, but fstab is not
* nspawn:
- - bind mount read-only the cgroup tree higher than nspawn
- refuses to boot containers without /etc/machine-id (OK?), and with empty /etc/machine-id (not OK).
- - support taking a btrfs snapshot at startup and dropping it afterwards
* cryptsetup:
- cryptsetup-generator: allow specification of passwords in crypttab itself
- how to make changes to sysctl and sysfs attributes
- remote access
- how to pass throw-away units to systemd, or dynamically change properties of existing units
- - how to integrate cgconfig and suchlike with systemd
