3 * Should systemctl status \* work on all unit types, not just .service?
5 * Dangling symlinks of .automount unit files in .wants/ directories, set up
6 automount points even when the original .automount file did not exist
7 anymore. Only the .mount unit was still around.
9 * ExecStart with unicode characters fails in strv_split_quoted:
12 Environment=ONE='one' "TWO='two two' too" THREE=
13 ExecStart=/bin/python3 -c 'import sys;print(sys.argv)' $ONE $TWO $THREE
15 * MEMORY return code is overloaded for syntax errors in the command line.
16 str_split_quoted() should return a real return code, so spawn_child can
17 report the failure properly.
19 * When systemctl --host is used, underlying ssh connection can remain open.
20 bus_close does not kill children?
24 * Fedora: add an rpmlint check that verifies that all unit files in the RPM are listed in %systemd_post macros.
26 * Fedora: move kernel image to /usr/lib/modules/, kernel-install will take care of populating /boot
28 * Fedora: remove /etc/resolv.conf tmpfiles hack
30 * wiki: update journal format documentation for lz4 additions
32 * When lz4 gets an API for lz4 command output, make use of it to
33 compress coredumps in a way compatible with /usr/bin/lz4.
37 * add udev rule construct SYSCTL{} to write to sysctls
39 * assign MESSAGE_ID to log messages about failed services
41 * coredump: make the handler check /proc/$PID/rlimits for RLIMIT_CORE,
42 and supress coredump if turned off. Then change RLIMIT_CORE to
43 infinity by default for all services. This then allows per-service
44 control of coredumping.
46 * introduce some call that iterates through cmsg and closes all fds
47 passed in, and use it everywhere...
49 * generate better errors when people try to set transient properties
50 that are not supported...
51 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-February/028076.html
53 * nspawn, if stdout/stderr/stdin are non-ttys, don't set up
54 /dev/console, but instead just pass the fds through directly.
56 * When runlevel3.target is used to define dependencies on other units,
57 then we don't pick it up currently, since nothing ever references
58 runlevel3.target, and never figure out it actually is just an alias
59 for multi-user.target. A hackish fix could be to add a .wants link
60 from multi-user.target to runlevel3.target, if it is a symlink to
61 it. Best would be to create this .wants/ symlink from
62 sysv-generator. systemd would then load the referenced unit, figure
63 out it is just an alias and that the dependency would be on itself
64 and suppress it. Thus the alias and its deps would be loaded as
67 * PID 1: when invoking systemctl preset-all on first boots, operate in
68 an exclusively additive way, i.e. never remove any pre-existing
69 symlinks, only add new ones.
71 * Introduce $LISTEN_NAMES to complement $LISTEN_FDS, containing a
72 colon separated list of identifiers for the fds passed.
74 * networkd: implement BindCarrier= logic to .network units that binds
75 application of the file to the carrier sense on another interface,
76 in order to implement uplink/downlink logic.
78 * make networkd subscribe to PrepareForSleep(false) and refresh all
81 * when the fstab-generator runs in the initrd, it should create a /dev/null mask for systemd-fsck-root.service, to avoid that the the root fs is fsck'ed twice.
83 * maybe introduce WantsMountsFor=? Usecase:
84 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-January/027729.html
86 * rework kexec logic to use new kexec_file_load() syscall, so that we
87 don't have to call kexec tool anymore.
89 * The udev blkid built-in should expose a property that reflects
90 whether media was sensed in USB CF/SD card readers. This should then
91 be used to control SYSTEMD_READY=1/0 so that USB card readers aren't
92 picked up by systemd unless they contain a medium. This would mirror
93 the behaviour we already have for CD drives.
95 * We should remove really old cruft from cdrom_id
97 * nspawn: emulate /dev/kmsg using CUSE and turn off the syslog syscall
98 with seccomp. That should provide us with a useful log buffer that
99 systemd can log to during early boot, and disconnect container logs
100 from the kernel's logs.
102 * networkd/udev: implement SR_IOV configuration in .link files:
103 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-January/027451.html
105 * When RLIMIT_NPROC is set from a unit file it currently always is set
106 for root, not for the user set in User=, which makes it
107 useless. After fixing this, set RLIMIT_NPROC for
108 systemd-journal-xyz, and all other of our services that run under
109 their own user ids, and use User= (but only in a world where userns
110 is ubiquitous since otherwise we cannot invoke those daemons on the
111 host AND in a container anymore). Also, if LimitNPROC= is used
112 without User= we should warn and refuse operation.
114 * logind: maybe allow configuration of the StopTimeout for session scopes
116 * Set NoNewPriviliges= on all of our own services, where that makes sense
118 * Rework systemctl's GetAll property parsing to use the generic bus_map_all_properties() API
120 * rework journald sigbus stuff to use mutex
122 * import-dkr: support tarsum checksum verification, if it becomes reality one day...
124 * import-dkr: convert json bits to nspawn configuration
126 * import: support import from local files, and export to local files
128 * 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
130 * introduce systemd-nspawn-ephemeral@.service, and hook it into "machinectl start" with a new --ephemeral switch
132 * logind,machined: add generic catch-all polkit verbs for most privileged operations, similar to systemd itself
134 * "machinectl status" should also show internal logs of the container in question
136 * "machinectl list-images" should show os-release data, as well as machine-info data (including deployment level)
138 * 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
140 * Port various tools to make use of verbs.[ch], where applicable
142 * "machinectl history"
146 * "machinectl commit" that takes a writable snapshot of a tree, invokes a shell in it, and marks it read-only after use
148 * "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
150 * 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
152 * systemd-nspawn -x should support ephemeral instances of gpt images
154 * move machinectl's mount and copy commands into machined
156 * hostnamectl: show root image uuid
158 * sysfs set api in libudev is not const
160 * Find a solution for SMACK capabilities stuff:
161 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-December/026188.html
163 * port libmount hookup to use API's own inotify interface, as soon as that is table in libmount
165 * "systemctl preset-all" should probably order the unit files it
166 operates on lexicographically before starting to work, in order to
167 ensure deterministic behaviour if two unit files conflict (like DMs
170 * resolved should optionally register additional per-interface LLMNR
171 names, so that for the container case we can establish the same name
172 (maybe "host") for referencing the server, everywhere.
174 * systemd-journal-upload (or a new, related tool): allow pushing out
175 journal messages onto the network in BSD syslog protocol,
176 continuously. Default to some link-local IP mcast group, to make this
177 useful as a one-stop debugging tool.
179 * synchronize console access with BSD locks:
180 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-October/024582.html
182 * as soon as we have kdbus, and sender timestamps, revisit coalescing multiple parallel daemon reloads:
183 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-December/025862.html
185 * 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
187 * the install state probably shouldn't get confused by generated units, think dbus1/kdbus compat!
189 * in systemctl list-unit-files: show the install value the presets would suggest for a service in a third column
191 * we should try harder to collapse start jobs for swaps that end up being the same:
192 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-November/025359.html
194 * timedated should compensate on SetTime for the time spent in polkit
196 * figure out when we can use the coarse timers
198 * sd-resolve: drop res_query wrapping, people should call via the bus to resolved instead
200 * add "systemctl start -v foobar.service" that shows logs of a service
201 while the start command runs. This is non-trivial to do without
202 races though, since we should flush out all journal messages before
203 returning from the "systemctl stop".
205 * 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
207 * timesyncd + resolved: add ugly bus calls to set NTP and DNS servers per-interface, for usage by NM
209 * 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
211 * machined: add an API so that libvirt-lxc can inform us about network interfaces being removed or added to an existing machine
213 * maybe add support for specifier expansion in user.conf, specifically DefaultEnvironment=
215 * code cleanup: retire FOREACH_WORD_QUOTED, port to unquote_first_word() loops instead
217 * introduce systemd-timesync-wait.service or so to sync on an NTP fix?
219 * systemd --user should issue sd_notify() upon reaching basic.target, not on becoming idle
221 * consider showing the unit names during boot up in the status output, not just the unit descriptions
223 * dhcp: do we allow configuring dhcp routes on interfaces that are not the one we got the dhcp info from?
225 * maybe allow timer units with an empty Units= setting, so that they
226 can be used for resuming the system but nothing else.
228 * what to do about udev db binary stability for apps? (raw access is not an option)
230 * maybe provide an API to allow migration of foreign PIDs into existing scopes.
232 * maybe support a new very "soft" reboot mode, that simply kills all processes, disassembles everything, flushes /run and sysvipc, and then reexecs systemd again
234 * man: document that corrupted journal files is nothing to act on
236 * man: maybe use the word "inspect" rather than "introspect"?
238 * "machinectl list" should probably show columns for OS version and IP addresses
240 * systemctl: if some operation fails, show log output?
243 - allow creation of units from scratch
244 - use equvalent of cat() to insert existing config as a comment, prepended with #.
245 Upon editor exit, lines with one # are removed, lines with two # are left with one #, etc.
247 * refcounting in sd-resolve is borked
249 * exponential backoff in timesyncd and resolved when we cannot reach a server
251 * tmpfiles: port to unquote_many_words(), similar to sysusers
253 * unquote_many_words() should probably be used by a lot of code that
254 currently uses FOREACH_WORD and friends. For example, most conf
255 parsing callbacks should use it.
257 * merge ~/.local/share and ~/.local/lib into one similar /usr/lib and /usr/share....
259 * systemd.show_status= should probably have a mode where only failed
263 - add LLDP client side support
264 - the DHCP lease data (such as NTP/DNS) is still made available when
265 a carrier is lost on a link. It should be removed instantly.
266 - .network setting that allows overriding of the hostname to send to the dhcp server
267 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-July/021550.html
268 - expose in the API the following bits:
269 - option 15, domain name and/or option 119, search list
270 - option 12, host name and/or option 81, fqdn
271 - option 100, 101, timezone
272 - option 123, 144, geolocation
273 - option 252, configure http proxy (PAC/wpad)
274 - networkd's dhcp server should transparently pass on the DNS and
275 NTP server list it got from user configuration and its dhcp client
276 to clients. It should also pass on its own timezone information.
277 - provide a way to define a per-network interface default metric value
278 for all routes to it. possibly a second default for DHCP routes.
279 - allow Name= to be specified repeatedly in the [Match] section. Maybe also
280 support Name=foo*|bar*|baz ?
281 - duplicate address check for static IPs (like ARPCHECK in network-scripts)
284 - put networkd events and rtnl events at a higher priority, so that
285 we always process them before we process client requests
287 - use base64 for key presentation?
288 - add display of private key types (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4034#appendix-A.1.1)?
289 - add nice formatting of DNS timestamps
294 - DNS-SD service registration from socket units
298 - maybe randomize DNS UDP source ports
299 - maybe compare query section of DNS replies
301 * Allow multiple ExecStart= for all Type= settings, so that we can cover rescue.service nicely
303 * Add a new verb "systemctl top"
305 * add new gpt type for btrfs volumes
307 * support empty /etc boots nicely:
308 - nspawn/gpt-generator: introduce new gpt partition type for /usr
309 - fstab-generator: support systemd.volatile=yes|no|state on the kernel cmdline, too, similar to nspawn's --volatile=
311 * generator that automatically discovers btrfs subvolumes, identifies their purpose based on some xattr on them.
313 * timer units: actually add extra delays to timer units with high AccuracySec values, don't start them already when we are awake...
315 * a way for container managers to turn off getty starting via $container_headless= or so...
317 * figure out a nice way how we can let the admin know what child/sibling unit causes cgroup membership for a specific unit
319 * mount_cgroup_controllers(): symlinks need to get the label applied
321 * For timer units: add some mechanisms so that timer units that trigger immediately on boot do not have the services
322 they run added to the initial transaction and thus confuse Type=idle.
324 * Run most system services with cgroupfs read-only and procfs with a more secure mode (doesn't work, since the hidepid= option is per-pid-namespace, not per-mount)
326 * sd-event: generate a failure of a default event loop is executed out-of-thread
328 * add bus api to query unit file's X fields.
330 * consider adding RuntimeDirectoryUser= + RuntimeDirectoryGroup=
332 * sd-event: define more intervals where we will shift wakeup intervals around in, 1h, 6h, 24h, ...
334 * gpt-auto-generator:
335 - Support LUKS for root devices
336 - Define new partition type for encrypted swap? Support probed LUKS for encrypted swap?
337 - Make /home automount rather than mount?
339 * add generator that pulls in systemd-network from containers when
340 CAP_NET_ADMIN is set, more than the loopback device is defined, even
341 when it is otherwise off
343 * MessageQueueMessageSize= and RLimitFSIZE= (and suchlike) should use parse_iec_size().
345 * "busctl status" works only as root on dbus1, since we cannot read
348 * implement Distribute= in socket units to allow running multiple
349 service instances processing the listening socket, and open this up
352 * socket units: support creating sockets in different namespace,
353 opening it up for JoinsNamespaceOf=. This would require to fork off
354 a tiny process that joins the namespace and creates/binds the socket
355 and passes this back to PID1 via SCM_RIGHTS. This also could be used
356 to allow Chown/chgrp on sockets without requiring NSS in PID 1.
358 * New service property: maximum CPU and wallclock runtime for a service
360 * introduce bus call FreezeUnit(s, b), as well as "systemctl freeze
361 $UNIT" and "systemctl thaw $UNIT" as wrappers around this. The calls
362 should SIGSTOP all unit processes in a loop until all processes of
363 it are fully stopped. This can later be used for app management by
364 desktop UIs such as gnome-shell to freeze apps that are not visible
365 on screen, not unlike how job control works on the shell
368 - implement per-slice CPUFairScheduling=1 switch
369 - handle jointly mounted controllers correctly
370 - introduce high-level settings for RT budget, swappiness
371 - how to reset dynamically changed unit cgroup attributes sanely?
372 - when reloading configuration, apply new cgroup configuration
373 - when recursively showing the cgroup hierarchy, optionally also show
374 the hierarchies of child processes
377 - allow creating auxiliary units with the same call
378 - add field to transient units that indicate whether systemd or somebody else saves/restores its settings, for integration with libvirt
379 - ensure scope units may be started only a single time
381 * Automatically configure swap partition to use for hibernation by looking for largest swap partition on the root disk?
383 * when we detect low battery and no AC on boot, show pretty splash and refuse boot
385 * machined, localed: when we try to kill an empty cgroup, generate an ESRCH error over the bus
387 * libsystemd-journal, libsystemd-login, libudev: add calls to easily attach these objects to sd-event event loops
389 * be more careful what we export on the bus as (usec_t) 0 and (usec_t) -1
391 * unify dispatch table in systemctl_main() and friends
393 * 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
395 * After coming back from hibernation reset hibernation swap partition using the /dev/snapshot ioctl APIs
397 * If we try to find a unit via a dangling symlink, generate a clean
398 error. Currently, we just ignore it and read the unit from the search
401 * refuse boot if /etc/os-release is missing or /etc/machine-id cannot be set up
403 * btrfs raid assembly: some .device jobs stay stuck in the queue
405 * make sure gdm does not use multi-user-x but the new default X configuration file, and then remove multi-user-x from systemd
407 * man: the documentation of Restart= currently is very misleading and suggests the tools from ExecStartPre= might get restarted.
409 * load .d/*.conf dropins for device units
411 * allow implementation of InaccessibleDirectories=/ plus
412 ReadOnlyDirectories=... for whitelisting files for a service.
415 - GetAllProperties() on a non-existing object does not result in a failure currently
416 - kdbus: process fd=-1 for incoming msgs
417 - port to sd-resolve for connecting to TCP dbus servers
418 - kdbus: maybe add controlling tty metadata fields
419 - 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
420 - when kdbus does not take our message without memfds, try again with memfds
421 - see if we can drop more message validation on the sending side
422 - add API to clone sd_bus_message objects
423 - make AddMatch calls on dbus1 transports async?
424 - kdbus: matches against source or destination pids for an "strace -p"-like feel. Problem: The PID info needs to be available in userspace too...
425 - longer term: priority inheritance
428 - NameLost/NameAcquired obsolete
431 - update systemd.special(7) to mention that dbus.socket is only about the compatibility socket now
432 - test bloom filter generation indexes
433 - bus-proxy: when passing messages from kdbus, make sure we properly
434 handle the case where a large number of fds is appended that we
435 cannot pass into sendmsg() of the AF_UNIX sokcet (which only accepts
437 - kdbus: introduce a concept of "send-only" connections
438 - 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.
441 - allow multiple signal handlers per signal?
442 - document chaining of signal handler for SIGCHLD and child handlers
444 * in the final killing spree, detect processes from the root directory, and
445 complain loudly if they have argv[0][0] == '@' set.
446 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=961044
448 * investigate endianness issues of UUID vs. GUID
450 * dbus: when a unit failed to load (i.e. is in UNIT_ERROR state), we
451 should be able to safely try another attempt when the bus call LoadUnit() is invoked.
453 * add a pam module that passes the hdd passphrase into the PAM stack and then expires it, for usage by gdm auto-login.
455 * add a pam module that on password changes updates any LUKS slot where the password matches
457 * maybe add a generator that looks for "systemd.run=" on the kernel cmdline for container usercases...
459 * cgtop: make cgtop useful in a container
462 - add 'set -e' to scripts in test/
463 - make stuff in test/ work with separate output dir
465 * seems that when we follow symlinks to units we prefer the symlink
466 destination path over /etc and /usr. We should not do that. Instead
467 /etc should always override /run+/usr and also any symlink
470 * when isolating, try to figure out a way how we implicitly can order
471 all units we stop before the isolating unit...
473 * teach ConditionKernelCommandLine= globs or regexes (in order to match foobar={no,0,off})
475 * BootLoaderSpec: Clarify that the kernel has to be in $BOOT. Clarify
476 that the boot loader should be installed to the ESP. Define a way
477 how an installer can figure out whether a BLS compliant boot loader
480 * think about requeuing jobs when daemon-reload is issued? usecase:
481 the initrd issues a reload after fstab from the host is accessible
482 and we might want to requeue the mounts local-fs acquired through
485 * systemd-inhibit: make taking delay locks useful: support sending SIGINT or SIGTERM on PrepareForSleep()
487 * journal-or-kmsg is currently broken? See reverted commit 4a01181e460686d8b4a543b1dfa7f77c9e3c5ab8.
489 * remove any syslog support from log.c -- we probably cannot do this before split-off udev is gone for good
491 * shutdown logging: store to EFI var, and store to USB stick?
493 * write UI tool that pops up emergency messages from the journal as notification
495 * think about window-manager-run-as-user-service problem: exit 0 → activate shutdown.target; exit != 0 → restart service
497 * merge unit_kill_common() and unit_kill_context()
499 * introduce ExecCondition= in services
502 - honor language efi variables for default language selection (if there are any?)
503 - honor timezone efi variables for default timezone selection (if there are any?)
504 - change bootctl to be backed by systemd-bootd to control temporary and persistent default boot goal plus efi variables
506 * maybe do not install getty@tty1.service symlink in /etc but in /usr?
508 * re-enable "make check" for gtk-doc (broken for unknown reason)
510 * fstab: add new mount option x-systemd-after=/foobar/waldo to allow manual dependencies to other mount points
511 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=812826
513 * print a nicer explanation if people use variable/specifier expansion in ExecStart= for the first word
515 * mount: turn dependency information from /proc/self/mountinfo into dependency information between systemd units.
518 - logind: optionally, ignore idle-hint logic for autosuspend, block suspend as long as a session is around
519 - When we update the kernel all kind of hibernation should be prohibited until shutdown/reboot
520 - logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
521 - Add pretty name for seats in logind
522 - logind: allow showing logout dialog from system?
523 - we should probably handle SIGTERM/SIGINT to not leave dot files around, just in case
524 - session scopes/user unit: add RequiresMountsFor for the home directory of the user
525 - add Suspend() bus calls which take timestamps to fix double suspend issues when somebody hits suspend and closes laptop quickly.
526 - if pam_systemd is invoked by su from a process that is outside of a
527 any session we should probably just become a NOP, since that's
528 usually not a real user session but just some system code that just
530 - logind: make the Suspend()/Hibernate() bus calls wait for the for
531 the job to be completed. before returning, so that clients can wait
532 for "systemctl suspend" to finish to know when the suspending is
534 - logind: when the power button is pressed short, just popup a
535 logout dialog. If it is pressed for 1s, do the usual
536 shutdown. Inspiration are Macs here.
537 - logind: allow users to kill or lock their own sessions
538 - expose "Locked" property on logind sesison objects
539 - given that logind now lets PID 1 do all nasty work, we can
540 probably reduce the capability set it retains substantially.
541 (we need CAP_SYS_ADMIN for drmSetMaster(), so maybe not worth it)
542 - expose orientation sensors and tablet mode through logind
544 * exec: when deinitializating a tty device fix the perms and group, too, not only when initializing. Set access mode/gid to 0620/tty.
546 * service: watchdog logic: for testing purposes allow ping, but do not require pong
549 - consider introducing implicit _TTY= + _PPID= + _EUID= + _EGID= + _FSUID= + _FSGID= fields
550 - import and delete pstore filesystem content at startup
551 - journald: also get thread ID from client, plus thread name
552 - journal: when waiting for journal additions in the client always sleep at least 1s or so, in order to minimize wakeups
553 - add API to close/reopen/get fd for journal client fd in libsystemd-journal.
554 - fallback to /dev/log based logging in libsystemd-journal, if we cannot log natively?
555 - declare the local journal protocol stable in the wiki interface chart
556 - journal: reuse XZ context
557 - sd-journal: speed up sd_journal_get_data() with transparent hash table in bg
558 - journald: when dropping msgs due to ratelimit make sure to write
559 "dropped %u messages" not only when we are about to print the next
560 message that works, but alraedy after a short tiemout
561 - check if we can make journalctl by default use --follow mode inside of less if called without args?
562 - maybe add API to send pairs of iovecs via sd_journal_send
563 - journal: when writing journal auto-rotate if time jumps backwards
564 - journal: add a setgid "systemd-journal" utility to invoke from libsystemd-journal, which passes fds via STDOUT and does PK access
565 - journactl: support negative filtering, i.e. FOOBAR!="waldo",
566 and !FOOBAR for events without FOOBAR.
567 - journal: store timestamp of journal_file_set_offline() int he header,
568 so it is possible to display when the file was last synced.
569 - 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.
570 - journal: find a way to allow dropping history early, based on priority, other rules
571 - journal: When used on NFS, check payload hashes
572 - journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
573 - refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
574 - journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
575 - journal: deal nicely with byte-by-byte copied files, especially regards header
576 - journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the components would fit
577 - Replace utmp, wtmp, btmp, and lastlog completely with journal
578 - journalctl: instead --after-cursor= maybe have a --cursor=XYZ+1 syntax?
579 - when a kernel driver logs in a tight loop, we should ratelimit that too.
580 - journald: optionally, log debug messages to /run but everything else to /var
581 - journald: when we drop syslog messages because the syslog socket is
582 full, make sure to write how many messages are lost as first thing
583 to syslog when it works again.
584 - journald: make sure ratelimit is actually really per-service with the new cgroup changes
585 - change systemd-journal-flush into a service that stays around during
586 boot, and causes the journal to be moved back to /run on shutdown,
587 so that we do not keep /var busy. This needs to happen synchronously,
588 hence doing this via signals is not going to work.
589 - optionally support running journald from the command line for testing purposes in external projects
590 - journald: allow per-priority and per-service retention times when rotating/vacuuming
591 - journald: make use of uid-range.h to managed uid ranges to split
593 - journalctl: add the ability to look for the most recent process of a binary. journalctl /usr/bin/X11 --pid=-1 or so...
594 - improve journalctl performance by loading journal files
595 lazily. Encode just enough information in the file name, so that we
596 do not have to open it to know that it is not interesting for us, for
597 the most common operations.
600 - document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fields in
601 [Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
602 - man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
603 - document the exit codes when services fail before they are exec()ed
604 - document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
605 - document in wiki how to map ical recurrence events to systemd timer unit calendar specifications
606 - add a man page containing packaging guidelines and recommending usage of things like Documentation=, PrivateTmp=, PrivateNetwork= and ReadOnlyDirectories=/etc /usr.
607 - document systemd-journal-flush.service properly
608 - documentation: recommend to connect the timer units of a service to the service via Also= in [Install]
609 - man: document the very specific env the shutdown drop-in tools live in
610 - man: extend runlevel(8) to mention that runlevels suck, and are dead. Maybe add runlevel(7) with a note about that too
611 - man: add more examples to man pages
612 - man: maybe sort directives in man pages, and take sections from --help and apply them to man too
615 - systemctl list-jobs - show dependencies
616 - add systemctl switch to dump transaction without executing it
617 - Add a verbose mode to "systemctl start" and friends that explains what is being done or not done
618 - "systemctl disable" on a static unit prints no message and does
619 nothing. "systemctl enable" does nothing, and gives a bad message
620 about it. Should fix both to print nice actionable messages.
621 - print nice message from systemctl --failed if there are no entries shown, and hook that into ExecStartPre of rescue.service/emergency.service
622 - add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
623 - systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into does not exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
624 - systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
625 - support "systemctl stop foobar@.service" to stop all units matching a certain template
626 - Something is wrong with symlink handling of "autovt@.service" in "systemctl list-unit-files"
627 - better error message if you run systemctl without systemd running
628 - systemctl status output should should include list of triggering units and their status
631 - "systemctl mask" should find all names by which a unit is accessible
632 (i.e. by scanning for symlinks to it) and link them all to /dev/null
633 - systemctl list-unit-files should list generated files (and probably with a new state "generated" for them, or so)
636 - timer units should get the ability to trigger when:
637 o CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (TFD_TIMER_CANCEL_ON_SET)
639 - Support 2012-02~4 as syntax for specifying the fourth to last day of the month.
640 - calendarspec: support value ranges with ".." notation. Example: 2013-4..8-1
641 - 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
642 - Modulate timer frequency based on battery state
644 * add libsystemd-password or so to query passwords during boot using the password agent logic
646 * 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().
648 * fedup: add --unit to systemctl switch-root somehow
649 * fedup: do not delete initrd on switch-root
652 * clean up date formatting and parsing so that all absolute/relative timestamps we format can also be parsed
654 * on shutdown: move utmp, wall, audit logic all into PID 1 (or logind?), get rid of systemd-update-utmp-runlevel
656 * make repeated alt-ctrl-del presses printing a dump, or even force a reboot without
657 waiting for the timeout
659 * hostnamed: before returning information from /etc/machine-info.conf check the modification data and reread. Similar for localed, ...
661 * currently x-systemd.timeout is lost in the initrd, since crypttab is copied into dracut, but fstab is not
664 - refuses to boot containers without /etc/machine-id (OK?), and with empty /etc/machine-id (not OK).
667 - cryptsetup-generator: allow specification of passwords in crypttab itself
668 - move cryptsetup key caching into kernel keyctl?
669 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54982
670 - support rd.luks.allow-discards= kernel cmdline params in cryptsetup generator
672 * hw watchdog: optionally try to use the preset watchdog timeout instead of always overriding it
673 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54712
675 * after deserializing sockets in socket.c we should reapply sockopts and things
677 * make timer units go away after they elapsed
679 * move PID 1 segfaults to /var/lib/systemd/coredump?
681 * create /sbin/init symlinks from the build system
683 * allow writing multiple conditions in unit files on one line
685 * MountFlags=shared acts as MountFlags=slave right now.
687 * drop PID 1 reloading, only do reexecing (difficult: Reload()
688 currently is properly synchronous, Reexec() is weird, because we
689 cannot delay the response properly until we are back, so instead of
690 being properly synchronous we just keep open the fd and close it
691 when done. That means clients do not get a successful method reply,
692 but much rather a disconnect on success.
694 * properly handle loop back mounts via fstab, especially regards to fsck/passno
696 * initialize the hostname from the fs label of /, if /etc/hostname does not exist?
698 * rename "userspace" to "core-os"
700 * load-fragment: when loading a unit file via a chain of symlinks
701 verify that it is not masked via any of the names traversed.
703 * introduce Type=pid-file
705 * change Requires=basic.target to RequisiteOverride=basic.target
707 * when breaking cycles drop sysv services first, then services from /run, then from /etc, then from /usr
709 * automount: implement expire:
710 - set superblock timeout AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_TIMEOUT_CMD
711 - periodically run AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_EXPIRE_CMD
712 - every timeout/4 (original autofs logic)
713 - blocking, needs a thread
715 - receive expire packet on pipe if kernel tells the timeout is over
717 - answer expire packet on pipe with AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_{READY,FAIL}_CMD
718 - AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_EXPIRE_CMD returns
720 * ExecOnFailure=/usr/bin/foo
725 - add trigger --subsystem-match=usb/usb_device device
726 - reimport udev db after MOVE events for devices without dev_t
727 - don't keep stale db in case event processing fails (also notify userspace about the failure)
729 * 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
731 * introduce mix of BindTo and Requisite
733 * There's currently no way to cancel fsck (used to be possible via C-c or c on the console)
735 * add option to sockets to avoid activation. Instead just drop packets/connections, see http://cyberelk.net/tim/2012/02/15/portreserve-systemd-solution/
737 * default unix qlen is too small (10). bump sysctl? add sockopt?
739 * save coredump in Windows/Mozilla minidump format
741 * support crash reporting operation modes (https://live.gnome.org/GnomeOS/Design/Whiteboards/ProblemReporting)
743 * default to actual 32-bit PIDs, via /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max
745 * be able to specify a forced restart of service A where service B depends on, in case B
746 needs to be auto-respawned?
748 * when a bus name of a service disappears from the bus make sure to queue further activation requests
751 - apply "x" on "D" too (see patch from William Douglas)
753 - instead of ignoring unknown fields, reject them.
755 * for services: do not set $HOME in services unless requested
757 * hide PAM options in fragment parser when compile time disabled
759 * when we automatically restart a service, ensure we restart its rdeps, too.
761 * allow Type=simple with PIDFile=
762 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=723942
764 * move PAM code into its own binary
766 * implement Register= switch in .socket units to enable registration
767 in Avahi, RPC and other socket registration services.
769 * make sure systemd-ask-password-wall does not shutdown systemd-ask-password-console too early
771 * add ReloadSignal= for configuring a reload signal to use
773 * verify that the AF_UNIX sockets of a service in the fs still exist
774 when we start a service in order to avoid confusion when a user
775 assumes starting a service is enough to make it accessible
777 * Make it possible to set the keymap independently from the font on
778 the kernel cmdline. Right now setting one resets also the other.
780 * and a dbus call to generate target from current state
782 * GC unreferenced jobs (such as .device jobs)
784 * write blog stories about:
785 - hwdb: what belongs into it, lsusb

802 - hooking a script into various stages of shutdown/rearly booot
804 * allow port=0 in .socket units
806 * recreate systemd's D-Bus private socket file on SIGUSR2
808 * Support --test based on current system state
810 * investigate whether the gnome pty helper should be moved into systemd, to provide cgroup support.
812 * maybe introduce ExecRestartPre=
814 * dot output for --test showing the 'initial transaction'
816 * fingerprint.target, wireless.target, gps.target, netdevice.target
819 - figure out a simple way to wait for journal events in a way that
821 - add documentation to systemd.daemon
824 - plot per-process IO utilization
825 - group processes based on service association (cgroups)
826 - document initcall_debug
827 - kernel cmdline "bootchart" option for simplicity?
830 - Make sure ID_PATH is always exported and complete for
831 network devices where possible, so we can safely rely
833 - check MTUBytes parsing (expecting size_t but we are using unsigned)
836 - add support for more attribute types
837 - inbuilt piping support (essentially degenerate async)? see loopback-setup.c and other places
840 - add more keys to [Route] and [Address] sections
841 - add support for more DHCPv4 options (and, longer term, other kinds of dynamic config)
842 - add proper initrd support (in particular generate .network/.link files based on /proc/cmdline)
843 - add reduced [Link] support to .network files
844 - add Scope= parsing option for [Network]
845 - properly handle routerless dhcp leases
846 - add more attribute support for SIT tunnel
847 - work with non-ethernet devices
848 - add support for more bond options
850 * networkd-wait-online:
851 - make operstates to wait for configurable?
854 - figure out how much we can increase Maximum Message Size
855 - export timezone information
856 - support RFC4702 (pass FQDN)
859 - add functions to set previously stored IPv6 addresses on startup and get
860 them at shutdown; store them in client->ia_na
861 - write more test cases
862 - implement and do duplicate address detection, see rfc 4862, 5.4.
863 - implement reconfigure support, see 5.3., 15.11. and 22.20.
864 - implement support for temporary adressess (IA_TA)
865 - implement dhcpv6 authentication
866 - investigate the usefulness of Confirm messages; i.e. are there any
867 situations where the link changes without any loss in carrier detection
869 - some servers don't do rapid commit without a filled in IA_NA, verify
875 - natively watch for dbus-*.service symlinks (PENDING)
876 - teach dbus to activate all services it finds in /etc/systemd/services/org-*.service
878 * fix alsa mixer restore to not print error when no config is stored
880 * make cryptsetup lower --iter-time
882 * patch kernel for xattr support in /dev, /proc/, /sys?
884 * kernel: add device_type = "fb", "fbcon" to class "graphics"
886 * drop accountsservice's StandardOutput=syslog and Type=dbus fields
888 * dbus upstream still refers to dbus.target and should not
890 * dbus: in fedora, make /var/lib/dbus/machine-id a symlink to /etc/machine-id
892 * add "# export SYSTEMD_PAGER=" to bash login
894 * /usr/bin/service should actually show the new command line
896 * fedora: suggest auto-restart on failure, but not on success and not on coredump. also, ask people to think about changing the start limit logic. Also point people to RestartPreventExitStatus=, SuccessExitStatus=
898 * fedora: F20: go timer units all the way, leave cron.daily for cron
900 * neither pkexec nor sudo initialize environ[] from the PAM environment?
902 * fedora: update policy to declare access mode and ownership of unit files to root:root 0644, and add an rpmlint check for it
904 * register catalog database signature as file magic
906 * zsh shell completion:
907 - <command> <verb> -<TAB> should complete options, but currently does not
908 - systemctl add-wants,add-requires
913 * look for close() vs. close_nointr() vs. close_nointr_nofail()
915 * check for strerror(r) instead of strerror(-r)
917 * Use PR_SET_PROCTITLE_AREA if it becomes available in the kernel
921 * set_put(), hashmap_put() return values check. i.e. == 0 does not free()!
923 * use secure_getenv() instead of getenv() where appropriate
925 * link up selected blog stories from man pages and unit files Documentation= fields
927 Scheduled for removal or fixing:
929 * xxxOverridable dependencies (probably: fix)
