Bugfixes:
+* Should systemctl status \* work on all unit types, not just .service?
+
* enabling an instance unit creates a 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
-
* Dangling symlinks of .automount unit files in .wants/ directories, set up
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.
-* When we detect invalid UTF-8, we cannot use it in an error message:
- log...("Path is not UTF-8 clean, ignoring assignment: %s", rvalue);
-
* shorten the message to sane length:
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.
-Fedora 20:
+* systemctl --root=container/ set-default ... is totally borked.
-* external: ps should gain colums for slice
+* sd_bus_unref() is broken regarding self-references and "pseudo thread-safety".
+ See the comment in sd_bus_unref() for more..
-* localed:
- - localectl: support new converted x11→console keymaps
+External:
-* when installing fedora with yum --installroot /var/run is a directory, not a symlink
+* Fedora: 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:
-
-* implement system-wide DefaultCPUAccounting=1 switch (and similar for blockio, memory?)
-
-* implement per-slice CPUFairScheduling=1 switch
-
-* handle jointly mounted controllers correctly
+* Fedora: add an rpmlint check that verifies that all unit files in the RPM are listed in %systemd_post macros.
-* introduce high-level settings for RT budget, swappiness
+* Fedora: post FPC ticket to move add %tmpfiles_create to the packaging guidelines
Features:
-* general: get rid of readdir_r/dirent_storage stuff, it's unnecessary on Linux
-
-* add API to clone sd_bus_message objects
+* timesyncd:
+ - hookup with networkd: NTP servers from dhcp
+ - hookup with networkd: listen to online/offline state
-* sd-bus: synthesized messages should get serial number (uint32_t) -1
+* a way for container managers to turn off getty starting via $container_headless= or so...
-* sd-event: allow multiple signal handlers per signal
+* figure out a nice way how we can let the admin know what child/sibling unit causes cgroup membership for a specific unit
-* when we detect low battery and no AC on boot, show pretty splash and refuse boot
+* add a kernel command line option to enable the debug shell
-* move libasyncns into systemd as libsystemd-asyncns
+* journalctl: add the ability to look for the most recent process of a binary. journalctl /usr/bin/X11 --pid=-1 or so...
-* calendarspec: support value ranges with ".." notation. Example: 2013-4..8-1
+* set NOTIFY_SOCKET also for control processes
-* sd-bus: when triggering property change events, allow a NULL strv indicate that all properties listed as such are send out as changed
+* drop parsing of chkconfig header lines from service.c
-* sd-bus: enforce signatures on response messages
+* mount_cgroup_controllers(): symlinks need to get the label applied
-* sd-bus: see if we can drop more message validation on the sending side
+* For timer units: add some mechanisms so that timer units that trigger immediately on boot do not have the services they run added to the initial transaction and thus confuse Type=idle. Alternatively, split up the boot-up state into two, and make Type=idle only be affected by jobs for the default target, but ignore any further jobs
-* sd-bus: introduce sd_bus_creds object and attach it to messages as well as allow querying it for names
+* Add RPM macros for registering/unregistering binfmt drop-ins
-* sd-bus: support "const" properties as flag
+* Add timeout to early-boot, and shut down the system if it is hit. Solves the laptop-in-bag problem and is useful for embedded cases
-* sd-event: when a handler returns an error, just turn off its event
- source, but do not return anything up to the event loop
- caller. Instead add parameter to sd_event_request_quit() to take
- retval. This way errors rippling upwards are the option, not the
- default
+* sd-resolve: add callback api
-* sd-event: child pid handling: first invoke waitid(WNOHANG) and call event handler, only afterwards reap the process
+* ImmutableSystem=yes/no or so to mount /usr, /boot read-only/invisible, and leave /var and /etc writable
-* sd-event: native support for watchdog stuff
+* InaccessibleHome=yes/no or so to hide /home and /run/user from a service
-* machined, localed: when we try to kill an empty cgroup, generate an ESRCH call over the bus
+* Run most system services with cgroupfs read-only and procfs with a more secure mode
-* sd-bus: SD_BUS_COMMENT() macro for inclusion in vtables, syntax inspired by gdbus
+* sd-event: generate a failure of a default event loop is executed out-of-thread
-* libsystemd-journal, libsystemd-login, libudev: add calls to easily attach these objects to sd-event event loops
+* add "M" as recursive version of "m" to tmpfiles, then use it for
+ chowning /run/log/journal (but not /var/log/journal), so that we
+ adjust the perms of journal files created before tmpfiles ran.
-* be more careful what we export on the bus as (usec_t) 0 and (usec_t) -1
+* expose "Locked" property on logind sesison objects
-* increase journal files by a few MB each time, instead of piecemeal
+* add bus api to query unit file's X fields.
-* add field to transient units that indicate whether systemd or somebody else saves/restores its settings, for integration with libvirt
+* consider adding RuntimeDirectoryUser= + RuntimeDirectoryGroup=
-* systemctl: rework wait filter to not require match callback
+* sd-event: define more intervals where we will shift wakeup intervals around in, 1h, 6h, 24h, ...
-* unify dispatch table in systemctl_main() and friends
+* gpt-auto-generator:
+ - Support LUKS for root devices
+ - Define new partition type for encrypted swap? Support probed LUKS for encrypted swap?
+ - Make /home automount rather than mount?
-* bus: access policy as vtable flag
+* 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.
-* journalctl: support -M to read journal of containers and determine journal directory from root directory of container
+* support transient mount units
-* tmpfiles: to make sure we don't delete unpacked tarballs with old timestamps right-away never delete stuff that is inside a directory with a new mtime
+* add an "input" group to udev logic and add all input devices to it
-* "systemctl mask" should find all names by which a unit is accessible
- (i.e. by scanning for symlinks to it) and link them all to /dev/null
+* machined: provide calls GetMachineByAddress() on the manager
+ interface to get the machine for a local IP address, and
+ GetAddress() on the Machine interface to get the Address for a
+ machine. Implement via forking off child process which quickly joins
+ the cotnainer and passes data to parent. Show this in "machinectl
+ status", and use it to implement NSS module to provide automatic
+ name resolution for containers.
-* Automatically configure swap partition to use for hibernation by looking for largest swap partition on the root disk?
+* 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
-* remove NSS usage from PID 1 (notably the specifiers)
+* MessageQueueMessageSize= and RLimitFSIZE= (and suchlike) should use parse_iec_size().
-* socket-proxyd:
- - Use a nonblocking alternative to getaddrinfo
- - Until we can start daemons directly, find a less ugly, less racy alternative than shell scripts for the second man page example.
- - Support starting daemons directly without requiring a shell script; update man pages
+* "busctl status" works only as root on dbus1, since we cannot read
+ /proc/$PID/exe
-* "systemctl cat" or "systemctl view" command or or so, that cats the backing unit file of a service, plus its drop-ins and shows them in a pager
+* implement Distribute= in socket units to allow running multiple
+ service instances processing the listening socket, and open this up
+ for ReusePort=
-* 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
+* socket units: support creating sockets in different namespace,
+ opening it up for JoinsNamespaceOf=. This would require to fork off
+ a tiny process that joins the namespace and creates/binds the socket
+ and passes this back to PID1 via SCM_RIGHTS. This also could be used
+ to allow Chown/chgrp on sockets without requiring NSS in PID 1.
-* Add a new Distribute=$NUMBER key to socket units that makes use of SO_REUSEPORT to distribute network traffic on $NUMBER instances
+* New service property: maximum CPU and wallclock runtime for a service
-* tmpfiles: when applying ownership to /run/log/journal, also do this for the journal fails contained in it
+* introduce bus call FreezeUnit(s, b), as well as "systemctl freeze
+ $UNIT" and "systemctl thaw $UNIT" as wrappers around this. The calls
+ should SIGSTOP all unit processes in a loop until all processes of
+ it are fully stopped. This can later be used for app management by
+ desktop UIs such as gnome-shell to freeze apps that are not visible
+ on screen, not unlike how job control works on the shell
-* we probably should replace the left-over uses of strv_append() and replace them by strv_push() or strv_extend()
+* completions:
+ - manager property enumeration was broken when systemd moved to /usr/lib/
-* move config_parse_path_strv() out of conf-parser.c
+* cgroups:
+ - implement per-slice CPUFairScheduling=1 switch
+ - handle jointly mounted controllers correctly
+ - introduce high-level settings for RT budget, swappiness
+ - how to reset dynamically changed unit cgroup attributes sanely?
+ - when reloading configuration, apply new cgroup configuration
+ - when recursively showing the cgroup hierarchy, optionally also show
+ the hierarchies of child processes
-* libdsystemd-bus should expose utf8 validation calls
+* transient units:
+ - allow creating auxiliary units with the same call
+ - add field to transient units that indicate whether systemd or somebody else saves/restores its settings, for integration with libvirt
+ - ensure scope units may be started only a single time
-* After coming back from hibernation reset hibernation swap partition using the /dev/snapshot ioctl APIs
+* Automatically configure swap partition to use for hibernation by looking for largest swap partition on the root disk?
-* If we try to find a unit via a dangling symlink, generate a clean
- error. Currently, we just ignore it and read the unit from the search
- path anyway.
+* when we detect low battery and no AC on boot, show pretty splash and refuse boot
-* 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
+* machined, localed: when we try to kill an empty cgroup, generate an ESRCH error over the bus
-* refuse boot if /etc/os-release is missing or /etc/machine-id cannot be set up
+* libsystemd-journal, libsystemd-login, libudev: add calls to easily attach these objects to sd-event event loops
-* ensure scope units may be started only a single time
+* be more careful what we export on the bus as (usec_t) 0 and (usec_t) -1
-* better error message if you run systemctl without systemd running
+* unify dispatch table in systemctl_main() and friends
-* systemctl status output should should include list of triggering units and their status
+* Automatically configure swap partition to use for hibernation by looking for largest swap partition on the root disk?
-* for transient units, instead of writing out drop-ins for all properties consider serializing them in the normal serialization stream
+* socket-proxyd: Use sd-resolve to resolve the server address
-* logind: when logging out, remove user-owned sysv and posix IPC objects
+* 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
-* session scopes/user unit: add RequiresMountsFor for the home directory of the user
+* After coming back from hibernation reset hibernation swap partition using the /dev/snapshot ioctl APIs
-* add a man page containing packaging guidelines and recommending usage of things like Documentation=, PrivateTmp=, PrivateNetwork= and ReadOnlyDirectories=/etc /usr.
+* If we try to find a unit via a dangling symlink, generate a clean
+ error. Currently, we just ignore it and read the unit from the search
+ path anyway.
-* journalctl: instead --after-cursor= maybe have a --cursor=XYZ+1 syntax?
+* refuse boot if /etc/os-release is missing or /etc/machine-id cannot be set up
-* given that logind/machined now let PID 1 do all nasty work, we can
- probably reduce the capability set they retain substantially.
+* 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
-* 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, but 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.
+* make sure gdm does not use multi-user-x but the new default X configuration file, and then remove multi-user-x from systemd
* 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
-* 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
-
-* something pulls in pcre as shared object dependency 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
- - implement monitor logic
- - properly map matches with well-known names against messages with unique names
- - longer term:
- * priority queues
- * priority inheritance
+* sd-bus:
+ - make AddMatch calls on dbus1 transports async
+ - when kdbus does not take our message without memfds, try again with memfds
+ - systemd-bus-proxyd needs to enforce good old XML policy
+ - port exit-on-idle logic to byebye ioctl
+ - 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
+ - constructors for bus messages should probably not be OK with a NULL bus pointer
+ - .busname units should not use get_user_creds()/get_cgroup_creds() but instead do NSS only in temporarily forked off child
+ - see if we can drop more message validation on the sending side
+ - add API to clone sd_bus_message objects
+ - kdbus: matches against source or destination pids for an "strace -p"-like feel. Problem: The PID info needs to be available in userspace too...
+ - longer term: priority inheritance
+ - dbus spec updates:
+ - kdbus mapping
+ - NameLost/NameAcquired obsolete
+ - GVariant
+ - "const" properties (posted)
+ - path escaping
+ - update systemd.special(7) to mention that dbus.socket is only about the compatibility socket now
+ - test bloom filter generation indexes
+ - port to sd-resolve for connecting to TCP dbus servers
+
+* sd-event
+ - allow multiple signal handlers per signal?
* 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
* 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.
+* timedatectl: print a nicer message when enabling ntp fails because ntpd/chrony are not installed
* cgtop: make cgtop useful in a container
* test/:
- add 'set -e' to scripts in test/
- make stuff in test/ work with separate output dir
- - qemu wrapper script: http://www.spinics.net/lists/kvm/msg72389.html
* systemctl delete x.snapshot leaves no trace in logs (at least at default level).
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
+ destination path over /etc and /usr. We should not 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
- whether a BLS compliant boot loader is installed.
-
-* man: remove .include documentation, and instead push people to use .d/*.conf
+* 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
+ is installed.
* 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.
-* rework specifier logic so that we can distinguish 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
-
-* 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 elapse and the time the units ran last
-
-* man: document the very specific env the shutdown drop-in tools live in
+* remove any syslog support from log.c -- we probably cannot do this before split-off udev is gone for good
* 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 more examples to man pages
-
-* man: maybe sort directives in man pages, and take sections from --help and apply them to man too
-
* 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
* timedate: have global on/off switches for auto-time (NTP), and auto-timezone that connman can subscribe to.
-* 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 unit_kill_common() and unit_kill_context()
* introduce ExecCondition= in services
- logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
- Add pretty name for seats in logind
- logind: allow showing logout dialog from system?
- - logind: non-local X11 server handling
- - logind: add equivalent to sd_pid_get_owner_uid() to the D-Bus API
- - pam: when leaving a session explicitly exclude the ReleaseSession() caller process from the killing spree
- we should probably handle SIGTERM/SIGINT to not leave dot files around, just in case
+ - session scopes/user unit: add RequiresMountsFor for the home directory of the user
+ - add Suspend() bus calls which take timestamps to fix double suspend issues when somebody hits suspend and closes laptop quickly.
+ - 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().
* 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.
- - fallback to /dev/log based logging in libsystemd-journal, if we can't log natively?
+ - fallback to /dev/log based logging in libsystemd-journal, if we cannot log natively?
- declare the local journal protocol stable in the wiki interface chart
- journal: reuse XZ context
- sd-journal: speed up sd_journal_get_data() with transparent hash table in bg
- 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-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
- 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: 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
- Replace utmp, wtmp, btmp, and lastlog completely with journal
- - Port upower to use the journal for historical power information used in future calculations
+ - journalctl: instead --after-cursor= maybe have a --cursor=XYZ+1 syntax?

+ - 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
* systemctl:
- systemctl list-jobs - show dependencies
- print nice message from systemctl --failed if there are no entries shown, and hook that into ExecStartPre of rescue.service/emergency.service
- add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
- systemctl enable: improve the success messages (i.e. more human readable, less shell-like)
- - systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into doesn't exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
+ - systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into does not exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
- 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"
+ - rework wait filter to not require match callback
+ - better error message if you run systemctl without systemd running
+ - systemctl status output should should include list of triggering units and their status
+
+* unit install:
+ - "systemctl mask" should find all names by which a unit is accessible
+ (i.e. by scanning for symlinks to it) and link them all to /dev/null
+ - "systemctl disable" of a unit instance removes all symlinks, but should
+ only remove the instance symlink (systemctl disable of a template
+ unit however should remove them all).
+ - systemctl list-unit-files should list generated files (and probably with a new state "generated" for them, or so)
+ - systemctl: maybe add "systemctl add-wants" or so...
* introduce ntp.service (or suchlike) as symlink that is used to arbitrate between various NTP implementations
* deal with sendmail/postfix exclusivity
* timer units:
- - timer events with system resume
- 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.
+ - calendarspec: support value ranges with ".." notation. Example: 2013-4..8-1
+ - 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
- Modulate timer frequency based on battery state
- - anacron-like feature
* update the kernel's TZ (sys_tz) when DST changes
mode, it will never touch the RTC if the no reliable time source is active or the
user did not request anything like it.
-* 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.
-
* libunwind support for coredump pattern hook, and includes this in
the message for coredumps. After all, libunwind is now capable to
unwind coredumps since a few weeks ago. This probably requires that
logs-show.c. Alternatively: use libelfutil, which seems to be the
better supported alternative.
-* figure out relation of --all and --full in the various tools
-
* add libsystemd-password or so to query passwords during boot using the password agent logic
* 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().

+* 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
-* introduce generic AUGMENT_PID=, AUGMENT_DEVICE= fields
-
* on shutdown: move utmp, wall, audit logic all into PID 1 (or logind?), get rid of systemd-update-utmp-runlevel
* add "provisioning" instructions to setup an empty /etc + /var
* make repeated alt-ctrl-del presses printing a dump, or even force a reboot without
waiting for the timeout
-* high level net_prio setting in execution context
-
* hostnamed: before returning information from /etc/machine-info.conf check the modification data and reread. Similar for localed, ...
-* currently x-systemd.timeout is lost in the initrd, since crypttab is copied into dracut, but fstab isn't
-
-* refuse boot if /etc/machine-id is not useful (or set taint?)
+* currently x-systemd.timeout is lost in the initrd, since crypttab is copied into dracut, but fstab is not
* nspawn:
- - nspawn: consider changing users for -u with su, so that NSS resolving works correctly
- - nspawn: implement personality changes a la linux32(8)
- 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: make it work for dwalsh and shared /usr containers -- tmpfs mounts as command line parameters, selinux exec context
+ - nspawn: make it work for dwalsh and shared /usr containers -- tmpfs mounts as command line parameters
- 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
+ - maybe: hookup nspawn and PrivateNetwork=yes with "ip netns"
+ - generate predictable mac addresses for the netdev we create (host0), maybe based on guest's machine
+ name and machine-id of host (?)
* cryptsetup:
- cryptsetup-generator: allow specification of passwords in crypttab itself
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54982
- 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
-
* hw watchdog: optionally try to use the preset watchdog timeout instead of always overriding it
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54712
* explore multiple service instances per listening socket idea
-* shutdown: don't read-only mount anything when running in container
-
* MountFlags=shared acts as MountFlags=slave right now.
* ReadOnlyDirectories= is not applied recursively to submounts
* drop PID 1 reloading, only do reexecing (difficult: Reload()
currently is properly synchronous, Reexec() is weird, because we
- can't delay the response properly until we are back, so instead of
+ cannot delay the response properly until we are back, so instead of
being properly synchronous we just keep open the fd and close it
- when done. That means clients don't get a successful method reply,
+ when done. That means clients do not get a successful method reply,
but much rather a disconnect on success.
-* use opterr = 0 for all getopt tools
-
* properly handle loop back mounts via fstab, especially regards to fsck/passno
* allow services with no ExecStart= but with an ExecStop=
* rename "userspace" to "core-os"
-* syscall filter:
- - syscall filter: add knowledge about compat syscalls
- - syscall filter: don't enforce no new privs?
- - syscall filter: option to return EPERM rather than SIGSYS?
- - syscall filter: port to libseccomp
- - system-wide seccomp filter
-
-* .device aliases need to be implemented with the "following" logic, probably.
-
* load-fragment: when loading a unit file via a chain of symlinks
- verify that it isn't masked via any of the names traversed.
+ verify that it is not masked via any of the names traversed.
* introduce Type=pid-file
- answer expire packet on pipe with AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_{READY,FAIL}_CMD
- AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_EXPIRE_CMD returns
-* services which create their own subcgroups break cgroup-empty notification (needs to be fixed in the kernel)
-
* ExecOnFailure=/usr/bin/foo
* udev:
- move to LGPL
- kill scsi_id
- add trigger --subsystem-match=usb/usb_device device
-
-* cleanup syslog 'priority' vs. 'level' wording
+ - reimport udev db after MOVE events for devices without dev_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=
-
* introduce mix of BindTo and Requisite
* add DeleteSocketsOnStop=yes|no option to socket units
* support crash reporting operation modes (https://live.gnome.org/GnomeOS/Design/Whiteboards/ProblemReporting)
-* default to actual 32bit PIDs, via /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max
+* default to actual 32-bit PIDs, via /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max
* be able to specify a forced restart of service A where service B depends on, in case B
needs to be auto-respawned?
* when a bus name of a service disappears from the bus make sure to queue further activation requests
-* tmpfiles: apply "x" on "D" too (see patch from William Douglas)
+* tmpfiles:
+ - check systemd-tmpfiles for selinux context hookup for mknod(), symlink() and similar
+ - apply "x" on "D" too (see patch from William Douglas)
-* for services: don't set $HOME in services unless requested
+* for services: do not set $HOME in services unless requested
-* hide PAM/TCPWrap options in fragment parser when compile time disabled
+* hide PAM options in fragment parser when compile time disabled
* when we automatically restart a service, ensure we restart its rdeps, too.
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.
+* support User= and Group= attributes for AF_UNIX sockets. (difficult, requires NSS from PID 1?)
* Make it possible to set the keymap independently from the font on
the kernel cmdline. Right now setting one resets also the other.
* dot output for --test showing the 'initial transaction'
-* port over to LISTEN_FDS/LISTEN_PID:
- - rpcbind (/var/run/rpcbind.sock!) HAVEPATCH
- - cups HAVEPATCH
- - postfix, saslauthd
- - apache/samba
- - libvirtd (/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock-ro)

- - distccd
-
* fingerprint.target, wireless.target, gps.target, netdevice.target

network devices where possible, so we can safely rely
on Path= matching

- - Check if Driver= is broken, or just my driver (bcma)
+ - check MTUBytes parsing (expecting size_t but we are using unsigned)
+
+* sd-rtnl:
+ - add support for more attribute types
+ - inbuilt piping support (essentially degenerate async)? see loopback-setup.c and other places
+
+* networkd:
+ - add more keys to [Route] and [Address] sections
+ - add support for more DHCPv4 options (and, longer term, other kinds of dynamic config)
+ - send hostname to DHCP server
+ - add proper initrd support (in particular generate .network/.link files based on /proc/cmdline)
+ - add reduced [Link] support to .network files
+ - add Scope= parsing option for [Network]
+ - properly handle routerless dhcp leases
+ - set lifetime on the address acquired from dhcp

* fedora: update policy to declare access mode and ownership of unit files to root:root 0644, and add an rpmlint check for it
+* register catalog database signature as file magic
+
Regularly:
* look for close() vs. close_nointr() vs. close_nointr_nofail()
* Use PR_SET_PROCTITLE_AREA if it becomes available in the kernel
-* %m in printf() instead of strerror(errno);
-
* pahole
-* set_put(), hashmap_put() return values check. i.e. == 0 doesn't free()!
