Bugfixes:
+* the running hwdb seems not to pick up updated database files without
+ an explicit: udevadm control --reload
+
+* enabling an instance unit creates pointless link, and
+ the unit will be started with getty@getty.service:
+ $ systemctl enable getty@.service
+ ln -s '/usr/lib/systemd/system/getty@.service' '/etc/systemd/system/getty.target.wants/getty@.service'
+
* 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
+* ellipsize_mem must take into account multi-byte unicode characters, and
+ - make the resulting line the requested number of *characters*, not *bytes*,
+ - avoid truncuating multi-byte sequences in the middle.
-Fedora 19:
+* When we detect invalid UTF-8, we cant't use it in an error message:
+ log...("Path is not UTF-8 clean, ignoring assignment: %s", rvalue);
-* make anaconda write timeout=0 for encrypted devices
+* shorten the message to sane length:
-* 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.
+ Cannot add dependency job for unit display-manager.service, ignoring: Unit display-manager.service failed to load: No such file or directory. See system logs and 'systemctl status display-manager.service' for details.
-* cgroup attrs:
- - update dbus interface docs in wiki
+Fedora 20:
-* journal is not closed properly at shutdown when run in a container?
+* external: ps should gain colums for slice and machine
* 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.
+* when installing fedora with yum --installroot /var/run is a directory, not a symlink
+ https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=975864
+
+CGroup Rework Completion:
+
+* introduce "mainpid" for scopes (or maybe not?)
+
+* implement system-wide DefaultCPUAccounting=1 switch (and similar for blockio, memory?)
+
+* implement per-slice CPUFairScheduling=1 switch
+
+* handle jointly mounted controllers correctly
+
+* make BlockIODeviceWeight=, BlockIODeviceBandwidth= runtime settable
-* timer logic is confused by units which are skipped due to failing condition
- http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2013-February/008816.html
+* introduce high-level settings for RT budget, swappiness
-* 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
+* wiki: document new bus APIs of PID 1 (transient units, Reloading signal)
Features:
+* Move backlight and random-seed into /var/lib/systemd
+
+* If we try to find a unit via a danglign symlink generate a clean
+ error. Currently we just ignore it and read the unit from the search
+ path anyway.
+
+* When a Type=forking service fails and needed another service that
+ service is not cleaned up again when it has StopWhenUnneeded=yes
+ http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2013-July/012141.html
+
+* backlight: properly handle multiple backlight devices for the same
+ hardware: at shutdown we should only save the backlight setting for
+ the "best" way to access the backlight. Strategy should be: at
+ shutdown, ignore all backlights that are connected to a non-eDP or
+ non-LVDS port, and then prefer the firmware device over platform
+ device over raw device per-PCI card. Delete all old data. At boot
+ simply apply whatever data we find. Also see
+ http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libbacklight/tree/libbacklight.c#n194
+
+* rfkill: save/restore soft rfkill status across reboots
+
+* refuse boot if /etc/os-release is missing or /etc/machine-id cannot be set up
+
+* ensure scope units may be started only a single time
+
+* document that in instead of FsckPassNo= people should just add a manual dep to systemd-fsck@.service to their mount units.
+
+* better error message if you run systemctl without systemd running
+
+* systemctl status output should should include list of triggering units and their status
+
+* for transient units, instead of writing out drop-ins for all properties consider serializing them in the normal serialization stream
+
+* logind: when logging out, remove user-owned sysv and posix IPC objects
+
+* session scopes/user unit: add RequiresMountsFor for the home directory of the user
+
+* add a man page containing packaging guidelines and recommending usage of things like Documentation=, PrivateTmp=, PrivateNetwork= and ReadOnlyDirectories=/etc /usr.
+
+* journalctl: instead --after-cursor= maybe have a --cursor=XYZ+1 syntax?
+
+* given that logind/machined now let PID 1 do all nasty work we can
+ probably reduce the capability set they retain substantially.
+
+* btrfs raid assembly: some .device jobs stay stuck in the queue
+
+* 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
+
+* make sure gdm doesn't use multi-user-x but the new default X configuration file, and then remove multi-user-x from systemd
+
+* when parsing calendar timestamps support the UTC timezone (even if we won't support arbitrary timezone specs, support UTC itself certainly makes sense), also support syntaxes such as +0200
+
+* when a kernel driver logs in a tight loop we should ratelimit that too.
+
+* "systemctl disable" of a unit instance removes all symlinks, should
+ only remove the instance symlink (systemctl disable of a template
+ unit however should remove them all).
+
+* journald: optionally, log debug messages to /run but everything else to /var
+
+* systemctl list-unit-files should list generated files (and probably with a new state "generated" for them, or so)
+
+* journald: when we drop syslog messages because the syslog socket is
+ full, make sure to write how many messages are lost as first thing
+ to syslog when it works again.
+
+* man: the documentation of Restart= currently is very misleading and suggests the tools from ExecStartPre= might get restarted.
+
+* load .d/*.conf dropins for device units
+
+* add a fixed dbus path for "my own unit", "my own session", ... to PID1, logind, ...
+
+* service_coldplug() appears to reinstall the wrong stop timeout watch?
+
+* transient units: allow creating auxiliary units with the same call
+
+* how to reset dynamically changed attributes sanely?
+
+* when reloading configuration, apply new cgroup configuration
+
+* journald: make sure ratelimit is actually really per-service with the new cgroup changes
+
+* gparted needs to disable auto-activation of mount units somehow, or
+ maybe we should stop doing auto-activation of this after boot
+ entirely. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=701676
+ Maybe take a BSD lock at the disk device node and teach udev to
+ check for that and suppress event handling.
+
+* when recursively showing the cgroup hierarchy, optionally also show
+ the hierarchies of child processes
+
+* document logic of auto/noauto and fail/nofail in fstab in systemd.mount or systemd-fstab-generator man page
+
+* we should properly escape ssh hostnames we add into dbus server strings
+
+* something pulls in pcre as so dep into our daemons such as hostnamed.
+
+* document systemd-journal-flush.service properly
+
+* change systemd-journal-flush into a service that stays around during
+ boot, and causes the journal to be moved back to /run on shutdown,
+ so that we don't keep /var busy. This needs to happen synchronously,
+ hence doing this via signals is not going to work.
+
+* allow implementation of InaccessibleDirectories=/ plus
+ ReadOnlyDirectories=... for whitelisting files for a service.
+
+* 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
+ - 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
+ * priority inheritance
+
+* 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 where the access mode of unit files is nonsensical.
+
+* investigate endianness issues of UUID vs. GUID
+
+* 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/
+
+* 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.
+
+* 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.
+
+* when isolating, try to figure out a way how we implicitly can order
+ all units we stop before the isolating unit...
+
+* add ConditionArchitecture= or so
+
+* teach ConditionKernelCommandLine= globs or regexes (in order to match foobar={no,0,off})
+
* 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
+* rework specifier logic so that we can distinguish 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
+* add a tool that lists active timer units plus their next elapse 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
+* 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)
-
-* 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
-
* dev-setup.c: when running in a container, create a tiny stub udev
database with the systemd tag set for all network interfaces found,
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
- write man page for efi boot generator
- 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
+ - change bootctl to be backed by systemd-bootd to control temporary and persistent default boot goal plus efi variables
* maybe do not install getty@tty1.service symlink in /etc but in /usr?
- 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

- 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 "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: 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
- - 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 (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.
- journal: deal nicely with byte-by-byte copied files, especially regards header
- - journalctl: show multiline log messages sanely, expand tabs, and show all valid utf8 messages
+ - journalctl: expand tabs
- 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
+ - Replace utmp, wtmp, btmp, and lastlog completely with journal
+ - Port upower to use the journal for historical power information used in future calculations
* document:
- document unit_name_mangle()
- 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"
- - 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

user did not request anything like it.
-* hwdb:
- - implement conditional properties (dmi matches)
- - hwdb --filter=ID_DRIVE_*
-
* if booted in "quiet" mode, and an error happens, turn on status
output again, so that the emergency mode isn't totally
surprising. Also, terminate plymouth.
* 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
- 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
- - when key file cannot be found, read it from kbd in cryptsetup
+ - 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
when done. That means clients don't get a successful method reply,
but much rather a disconnect on success.
-* remember which condition failed for services, not just the fact that something failed
-
* use opterr = 0 for all getopt tools
* properly handle loop back mounts via fstab, especially regards to fsck/passno
- 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=?
-
* change Requires=basic.target to RequisiteOverride=basic.target
-* support rd.luks.allow-discards= kernel cmdline params in cryptsetup generator
-
-* drop accountsservice's StandardOutput=syslog and Type=dbus fields
-
* when breaking cycles drop sysv services first, then services from /run, then from /etc, then from /usr
* move passno parsing to fstab generator
* ExecOnFailure=/usr/bin/foo
-* ConditionSecurity= should learn about IMA and SMACK
-
* udev:
- remove src/udev/udev-builtin-firmware.c (CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER=n)
- move to LGPL
* cleanup syslog 'priority' vs. 'level' wording
-* dbus upstream still refers to dbus.target and shouldn't
-
* 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
* support container_ttys=
* default unix qlen is too small (10). bump sysctl? add sockopt?
-* figure out whether we should leave dbus around during shutdown
-
-* dbus: in fedora, make /var/lib/dbus/machine-id a symlink to /etc/machine-id
-
-* dbus: move dbus to early boot
-
* save coredump in Windows/Mozilla minidump format
* support crash reporting operation modes (https://live.gnome.org/GnomeOS/Design/Whiteboards/ProblemReporting)
when we start a service in order to avoid confusion when a user
assumes starting a service is enough to make it accessible
+* support User= and Group= attributes for AF_UNIX sockets.
+
* Make it possible to set the keymap independently from the font on
the kernel cmdline. Right now setting one resets also the other.

-* reuse mkdtemp namespace dirs in /tmp?
-
* recreate systemd's D-Bus private socket file on SIGUSR2
* Support --test based on current system state

works with ^C
- add documentation to systemd.daemon
+* bootchart:
+ - plot per-process IO utilization
+ - group processes based on service association (cgroups)
+ - document initcall_debug
+ - kernel cmdline "bootchart" option for simplicity?
+
+* systemd-run is missing zsh completion scripts
+
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
+* drop accountsservice's StandardOutput=syslog and Type=dbus fields
