2 * enabling an instance unit creates a pointless link, and
3 the unit will be started with getty@getty.service:
4 $ systemctl enable getty@.service
5 ln -s '/usr/lib/systemd/system/getty@.service' '/etc/systemd/system/getty.target.wants/getty@.service'
7 * Dangling symlinks of .automount unit files in .wants/ directories, set up
8 automount points even when the original .automount file did not exist
9 anymore. Only the .mount unit was still around.
11 * properly handle .mount unit state tracking when two mount points are stacked one on top of another on the exact same mount point.
13 * shorten the message to sane length:
15 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.
17 * systemctl --root=container/ set-default ... is totally borked.
21 * Fedora: when installing fedora with yum --installroot /var/run is a directory, not a symlink
22 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=975864
24 * Fedora: add an rpmlint check that verifies that all unit files in the RPM are listed in %systemd_post macros.
26 * Fedora: post FPC ticket to move add %tmpfiles_create to the packaging guidelines
30 * nspawn: name normal veth ifaces on the host "ve-*", and those
31 already added to a bridge "vb-*". That way we can later on install
32 catchall matches that identify these interfaces and run DHCP on them.
34 * "busctl status" works only as root on dbus1, since we cannot read
37 * systemctl (and possibly related tools): support a new switch that
38 allows enumerating units in local containers recursively. "systemctl
39 list-units -R" or so should not only lists on the host, but also the
40 services in all containers in a pretty way, to give an overview of
41 the entire system. Also, maybe add "systemctl list-machines" which
42 works like "machinectl list" but includes information about the
43 health status of each registered machine. For that we should
44 probably implement something that encodes the system health status
45 in a single enum state, i.e. something like a system-wide state
46 starting → running → failed → stopping, that is based on the current
47 job queue and a check for failed services. Maybe then change
48 "systemctl status" without args to output this state along with a
49 selection of other data, such as the uptime or so.
51 * generalize ConditionXYZ= logic and make it available in networkd's
52 .network, .netdev, .network files, too. This is particularly useful
53 to match on containers with ConditionVirtualization to
54 conditionalize network setups for containers
56 * doc: remove documentation for .include, drop-in snippets are the
59 * Add a seccomp-based filter for socket() calls to limit services to
60 specific address families (for example: AF_UNIX), inspired by
63 * implement Distribute= in socket units to allow running multiple
64 service instances processing the listening socket, and open this up
67 * add a timelimit to generator invocation
69 * socket units: support creating sockets in different namespace,
70 opening it up for JoinsNamespaceOf=. This would require to fork off
71 a tiny process that joins the namespace and creates/binds the socket
72 and passes this back to PID1 via SCM_RIGHTS. This also could be used
73 to allow Chown/chgrp on sockets without requiring NSS in PID 1.
75 * New service property: maximum CPU and wallclock runtime for a service
77 * introduce bus call FreezeUnit(s, b), as well as "systemctl freeze
78 $UNIT" and "systemctl thaw $UNIT" as wrappers around this. The calls
79 should SIGSTOP all unit processes in a loop until all processes of
80 it are fully stopped. This can later be used for app management by
81 desktop UIs such as gnome-shell to freeze apps that are not visible
82 on screen, not unlike how job control works on the shell
84 * machinectl bash completion is missing
85 * busctl bash and zsh completions are outdated
88 - implement system-wide DefaultCPUAccounting=1 switch (and similar for blockio, memory?)
89 - implement per-slice CPUFairScheduling=1 switch
90 - handle jointly mounted controllers correctly
91 - introduce high-level settings for RT budget, swappiness
92 - how to reset dynamically changed unit cgroup attributes sanely?
93 - when reloading configuration, apply new cgroup configuration
94 - when recursively showing the cgroup hierarchy, optionally also show
95 the hierarchies of child processes
98 - allow creating auxiliary units with the same call
99 - add field to transient units that indicate whether systemd or somebody else saves/restores its settings, for integration with libvirt
100 - ensure scope units may be started only a single time
102 * Automatically configure swap partition to use for hibernation by looking for largest swap partition on the root disk?
104 * when we detect low battery and no AC on boot, show pretty splash and refuse boot
106 * machined, localed: when we try to kill an empty cgroup, generate an ESRCH error over the bus
108 * libsystemd-journal, libsystemd-login, libudev: add calls to easily attach these objects to sd-event event loops
110 * be more careful what we export on the bus as (usec_t) 0 and (usec_t) -1
112 * unify dispatch table in systemctl_main() and friends
114 * Automatically configure swap partition to use for hibernation by looking for largest swap partition on the root disk?
116 * socket-proxyd: Use sd-resolve to resolve the server address
118 * 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
120 * move config_parse_path_strv() out of conf-parser.c
122 * After coming back from hibernation reset hibernation swap partition using the /dev/snapshot ioctl APIs
124 * If we try to find a unit via a dangling symlink, generate a clean
125 error. Currently, we just ignore it and read the unit from the search
128 * refuse boot if /etc/os-release is missing or /etc/machine-id cannot be set up
130 * given that logind now lets PID 1 do all nasty work, we can
131 probably reduce the capability set it retains substantially.
132 (we need CAP_SYS_ADMIN for drmSetMaster(), so maybe not worth it)
134 * btrfs raid assembly: some .device jobs stay stuck in the queue
136 * make sure gdm doesn't use multi-user-x but the new default X configuration file, and then remove multi-user-x from systemd
138 * man: the documentation of Restart= currently is very misleading and suggests the tools from ExecStartPre= might get restarted.
140 * load .d/*.conf dropins for device units
142 * gparted needs to disable auto-activation of mount units somehow, or
143 maybe we should stop doing auto-activation of this after boot
144 entirely. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=701676
145 Maybe take a BSD lock at the disk device node and teach udev to
146 check for that and suppress event handling.
148 * something pulls in pcre as shared object dependency into our daemons such as hostnamed.
150 * allow implementation of InaccessibleDirectories=/ plus
151 ReadOnlyDirectories=... for whitelisting files for a service.
154 - when kdbus doesn't take our message without memfds, try again with memfds
155 - implement monitor logic
156 - see if we can drop more message validation on the sending side
157 - add API to clone sd_bus_message objects
158 - systemd-bus-proxyd needs to enforce good old XML policy
159 - upload minimal kdbus policy into the kernel at boot
160 - kdbus: matches against source or destination pids for an "strace -p"-like feel. Problem: The PID info needs to be available in userspace too...
161 - longer term: priority inheritance
162 - check sender of response messages
165 - NameLost/NameAcquired obsolete
167 - "const" properties (posted)
168 - port exit-on-idle logic to byebye ioctl
169 - update systemd.special(7) to mention that dbus.socket is only about the compatibility socket now
170 - allow updating attach flags during runtime
171 - pid1: peek into activating message when activating a service
172 - test bloom filter generation indexes
173 - introduce sd_bus_emit_object_added()/sd_bus_emit_object_removed() that automatically includes the build-in interfaces in the list
174 - port to sd-resolve for connecting to TCP dbus servers
175 - constructors for bus messages should probably not be OK with a NULL bus pointer
178 - allow multiple signal handlers per signal?
180 * in the final killing spree, detect processes from the root directory, and
181 complain loudly if they have argv[0][0] == '@' set.
182 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=961044
184 * investigate endianness issues of UUID vs. GUID
186 * dbus: when a unit failed to load (i.e. is in UNIT_ERROR state), we
187 should be able to safely try another attempt when the bus call LoadUnit() is invoked.
189 * add a pam module that passes the hdd passphrase into the PAM stack and then expires it, for usage by gdm auto-login.
191 * add a pam module that on password changes updates any LUKS slot where the password matches
193 * maybe add a generator that looks for "systemd.run=" on the kernel cmdline for container usercases...
195 * timedatctl, localectl: possibly make some commands work without the daemon, for chroot situations...
197 * timedatectl: print a nicer message when enabling ntp fails because ntpd/chrony are not installed
199 * cgtop: make cgtop useful in a container
202 - add 'set -e' to scripts in test/
203 - make stuff in test/ work with separate output dir
205 * systemctl delete x.snapshot leaves no trace in logs (at least at default level).
207 * make the coredump collector tool move itself into the user's cgroup
208 so that the coredump is properly written to the user's own journal
211 * seems that when we follow symlinks to units we prefer the symlink
212 destination path over /etc and /usr. We shouldn't do that. Instead
213 /etc should always override /run+/usr and also any symlink
216 * when isolating, try to figure out a way how we implicitly can order
217 all units we stop before the isolating unit...
219 * add ConditionArchitecture= or so
221 * teach ConditionKernelCommandLine= globs or regexes (in order to match foobar={no,0,off})
223 * after all byte-wise realloc() is slow, even on glibc, so i guess we
224 need manual exponential loops after all
226 * BootLoaderSpec: drop allowing ext234 for $BOOT. Clarify that the
227 kernel has to be in $BOOT. Clarify that the boot loader should be
228 installed to the ESP. Define a way how an installer can figure out
229 whether a BLS compliant boot loader is installed.
231 * think about requeuing jobs when daemon-reload is issued? usecase:
232 the initrd issues a reload after fstab from the host is accessible
233 and we might want to requeue the mounts local-fs acquired through
236 * systemd-inhibit: make taking delay locks useful: support sending SIGINT or SIGTERM on PrepareForSleep()
238 * journal-or-kmsg is currently broken? See reverted commit 4a01181e460686d8b4a543b1dfa7f77c9e3c5ab8.
240 * remove any syslog support from log.c -- we probably can't do this before split-off udev is gone for good
242 * shutdown logging: store to EFI var, and store to USB stick?
244 * write UI tool that pops up emergency messages from the journal as notification
246 * think about window-manager-run-as-user-service problem: exit 0 → activate shutdown.target; exit != 0 → restart service
248 * use "log level" rather than "log priority" everywhere
250 * timedate: have global on/off switches for auto-time (NTP), and auto-timezone that connman can subscribe to.
252 * dev-setup.c: when running in a container, create a tiny stub udev
253 database with the systemd tag set for all network interfaces found,
254 so that libudev reports them as present, and systemd's .device units
257 * merge unit_kill_common() and unit_kill_context()
259 * introduce ExecCondition= in services
262 - write man page for efi boot generator
263 - honor language efi variables for default language selection (if there are any?)
264 - honor timezone efi variables for default timezone selection (if there are any?)
265 - change bootctl to be backed by systemd-bootd to control temporary and persistent default boot goal plus efi variables
267 * maybe do not install getty@tty1.service symlink in /etc but in /usr?
269 * re-enable "make check" for gtk-doc (broken for unknown reason)
271 * fstab: add new mount option x-systemd-after=/foobar/waldo to allow manual dependencies to other mount points
272 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=812826
274 * print a nicer explanation if people use variable/specifier expansion in ExecStart= for the first word
276 * mount: turn dependency information from /proc/self/mountinfo into dependency information between systemd units.
279 - logind: optionally, ignore idle-hint logic for autosuspend, block suspend as long as a session is around
280 - When we update the kernel all kind of hibernation should be prohibited until shutdown/reboot
281 - logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
282 - Add pretty name for seats in logind
283 - logind: allow showing logout dialog from system?
284 - logind: add equivalent to sd_pid_get_owner_uid() to the D-Bus API
285 - we should probably handle SIGTERM/SIGINT to not leave dot files around, just in case
286 - when logging out, remove user-owned sysv and posix IPC objects
287 - session scopes/user unit: add RequiresMountsFor for the home directory of the user
288 - add Suspend() bus calls which take timestamps to fix double suspend issues when somebody hits suspend and closes laptop quickly.
289 - if pam_systemd is invoked by su from a process that is outside of a
290 any session we should probably just become a NOP, since that's
291 usually not a real user session but just some system code that just
294 * exec: when deinitializating a tty device fix the perms and group, too, not only when initializing. Set access mode/gid to 0620/tty.
296 * service: watchdog logic: for testing purposes allow ping, but do not require pong
299 - import and delete pstore filesystem content at startup
300 - journald: also get thread ID from client, plus thread name
301 - journal: when waiting for journal additions in the client always sleep at least 1s or so, in order to minimize wakeups
302 - add API to close/reopen/get fd for journal client fd in libsystemd-journal.
303 - fallback to /dev/log based logging in libsystemd-journal, if we can't log natively?
304 - declare the local journal protocol stable in the wiki interface chart
305 - journal: reuse XZ context
306 - sd-journal: speed up sd_journal_get_data() with transparent hash table in bg
307 - journald: when dropping msgs due to ratelimit make sure to write
308 "dropped %u messages" not only when we are about to print the next
309 message that works, but alraedy after a short tiemout
310 - check if we can make journalctl by default use --follow mode inside of less if called without args?
311 - maybe add API to send pairs of iovecs via sd_journal_send
312 - journal: when writing journal auto-rotate if time jumps backwards
313 - journal: add a setgid "systemd-journal" utility to invoke from libsystemd-journal, which passes fds via STDOUT and does PK access
314 - journactl: support negative filtering, i.e. FOOBAR!="waldo",
315 and !FOOBAR for events without FOOBAR.
316 - journal: send out marker messages every now and then, and immediately sync with fdatasync() afterwards, in order to have hourly guaranteed syncs.
317 - 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.
318 - journal: find a way to allow dropping history early, based on priority, other rules
319 - journal: When used on NFS, check payload hashes
320 - journald: check whether it is OK if the client can still modify delivered journal entries
321 - journal live copy, based on libneon (client) and libmicrohttpd (server)
322 - journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
323 - refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
324 - journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
325 - journal: deal nicely with byte-by-byte copied files, especially regards header
326 - journal: store euid in journal if it differs from uid
327 - journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the components would fit
328 - Replace utmp, wtmp, btmp, and lastlog completely with journal
329 - journalctl: instead --after-cursor= maybe have a --cursor=XYZ+1 syntax?
330 - tmpfiles: when applying ownership to /run/log/journal, also do this for the journal fails contained in it
331 - when a kernel driver logs in a tight loop, we should ratelimit that too.
332 - journald: optionally, log debug messages to /run but everything else to /var
333 - journald: when we drop syslog messages because the syslog socket is
334 full, make sure to write how many messages are lost as first thing
335 to syslog when it works again.
336 - journald: make sure ratelimit is actually really per-service with the new cgroup changes
337 - change systemd-journal-flush into a service that stays around during
338 boot, and causes the journal to be moved back to /run on shutdown,
339 so that we don't keep /var busy. This needs to happen synchronously,
340 hence doing this via signals is not going to work.
343 - document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fields in
344 [Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
345 - man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
346 - document the exit codes when services fail before they are exec()ed
347 - document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
348 - document in wiki how to map ical recurrence events to systemd timer unit calendar specifications
349 - add a man page containing packaging guidelines and recommending usage of things like Documentation=, PrivateTmp=, PrivateNetwork= and ReadOnlyDirectories=/etc /usr.
350 - document systemd-journal-flush.service properly
351 - man: remove .include documentation, and instead push people to use .d/*.conf
352 - documentation: recommend to connect the timer units of a service to the service via Also= in [Install]
353 - man: document the very specific env the shutdown drop-in tools live in
354 - man: extend runlevel(8) to mention that runlevels suck, and are dead. Maybe add runlevel(7) with a note about that too
355 - man: add more examples to man pages
356 - man: maybe sort directives in man pages, and take sections from --help and apply them to man too
359 - systemctl list-jobs - show dependencies
360 - add systemctl switch to dump transaction without executing it
361 - Add a verbose mode to "systemctl start" and friends that explains what is being done or not done
362 - "systemctl disable" on a static unit prints no message and does
363 nothing. "systemctl enable" does nothing, and gives a bad message
364 about it. Should fix both to print nice actionable messages.
365 - print nice message from systemctl --failed if there are no entries shown, and hook that into ExecStartPre of rescue.service/emergency.service
366 - add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
367 - systemctl enable: improve the success messages (i.e. more human readable, less shell-like)
368 - systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into doesn't exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
369 - systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
370 - support "systemctl stop foobar@.service" to stop all units matching a certain template
371 - Something is wrong with symlink handling of "autovt@.service" in "systemctl list-unit-files"
372 - rework wait filter to not require match callback
373 - better error message if you run systemctl without systemd running
374 - systemctl status output should should include list of triggering units and their status
375 - in systemctl list-timers show time triggering units ran last
378 - "systemctl mask" should find all names by which a unit is accessible
379 (i.e. by scanning for symlinks to it) and link them all to /dev/null
380 - "systemctl disable" of a unit instance removes all symlinks, but should
381 only remove the instance symlink (systemctl disable of a template
382 unit however should remove them all).
383 - systemctl list-unit-files should list generated files (and probably with a new state "generated" for them, or so)
384 - systemctl: maybe add "systemctl add-wants" or so...
386 * introduce ntp.service (or suchlike) as symlink that is used to arbitrate between various NTP implementations
388 * deal with sendmail/postfix exclusivity
391 - timer events with system resume
392 - timer units should get the ability to trigger when:
393 o CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (TFD_TIMER_CANCEL_ON_SET)
395 - Support 2012-02~4 as syntax for specifying the fourth to last day of the month.
396 - calendarspec: support value ranges with ".." notation. Example: 2013-4..8-1
397 - 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
398 - Modulate timer frequency based on battery state
399 - anacron-like feature
401 * update the kernel's TZ (sys_tz) when DST changes
403 * sync down the system time to the RTC when:
404 - CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (the user explicitely requested a time set)
405 - DST/timezone changes && ntp is active && RTC-in-localtime (never do it without ntp)
406 This takes care of syncing ntpdate updates to the RTC, and DST updates for localtime
407 mode, it will never touch the RTC if the no reliable time source is active or the
408 user did not request anything like it.
410 * if booted in "quiet" mode, and an error happens, turn on status
411 output again, so that the emergency mode isn't totally
412 surprising. Also, terminate plymouth.
414 * libunwind support for coredump pattern hook, and includes this in
415 the message for coredumps. After all, libunwind is now capable to
416 unwind coredumps since a few weeks ago. This probably requires that
417 we have nice support for multi-line messages on display in
418 logs-show.c. Alternatively: use libelfutil, which seems to be the
419 better supported alternative.
421 * add libsystemd-password or so to query passwords during boot using the password agent logic
423 * 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().
425 * fedup: add --unit to systemctl switch-root somehow
426 * fedup: don't delete initrd on switch-root
429 * timedated: refuse time changes when NTP is on
431 * clean up date formatting and parsing so that all absolute/relative timestamps we format can also be parsed
433 * on shutdown: move utmp, wall, audit logic all into PID 1 (or logind?), get rid of systemd-update-utmp-runlevel
435 * add "provisioning" instructions to setup an empty /etc + /var
436 - used to setup a new container from a shared /usr
437 - superset of tmpfiles model
438 - instructions shipped by packages and stored in /usr/lib/
439 - compose /etc/passwd and /etc/group, copy files
440 - able to create uid + gid used by packages, for file ownership
442 * make repeated alt-ctrl-del presses printing a dump, or even force a reboot without
443 waiting for the timeout
445 * hostnamed: before returning information from /etc/machine-info.conf check the modification data and reread. Similar for localed, ...
447 * currently x-systemd.timeout is lost in the initrd, since crypttab is copied into dracut, but fstab isn't
450 - nspawn: consider changing users for -u with /usr/bin/getent, so that NSS resolving works correctly
451 - nspawn: implement personality changes a la linux32(8)
452 - nspawn: --read-only is not applied recursively to submounts
453 - nspawn: make use of device cgroup controller by default
454 - bind mount read-only the cgroup tree higher than nspawn
455 - nspawn: make it work for dwalsh and shared /usr containers -- tmpfs mounts as command line parameters, selinux exec context
456 - refuses to boot containers without /etc/machine-id (OK?), and with empty /etc/machine-id (not OK).
457 - support taking a btrfs snapshot at startup and dropping it afterwards
458 - maybe: hookup nspawn and PrivateNetwork=yes with "ip netns"
459 - allow booting disk images with a GPT signature using the bootloaderspec partition uuids
462 - cryptsetup-generator: allow specification of passwords in crypttab itself
463 - move cryptsetup key caching into kernel keyctl?
464 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54982
465 - support rd.luks.allow-discards= kernel cmdline params in cryptsetup generator
467 * hw watchdog: optionally try to use the preset watchdog timeout instead of always overriding it
468 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54712
470 * after deserializing sockets in socket.c we should reapply sockopts and things
472 * make timer units go away after they elapsed
474 * http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2012-September/006502.html
475 (network and remote-fs on shutdown)
477 * come up with a nice way to write queue/read_ahead_kb for a block device without interfering with readahead
479 * move PID 1 segfaults to /var/lib/systemd/coredump?
481 * create /sbin/init symlinks from the build system
483 * Query Paul Moore about relabelling socket fds while they are open
485 * allow writing multiple conditions in unit files on one line
487 * explore multiple service instances per listening socket idea
489 * MountFlags=shared acts as MountFlags=slave right now.
491 * ReadOnlyDirectories= is not applied recursively to submounts
493 * drop PID 1 reloading, only do reexecing (difficult: Reload()
494 currently is properly synchronous, Reexec() is weird, because we
495 can't delay the response properly until we are back, so instead of
496 being properly synchronous we just keep open the fd and close it
497 when done. That means clients don't get a successful method reply,
498 but much rather a disconnect on success.
500 * properly handle loop back mounts via fstab, especially regards to fsck/passno
502 * allow services with no ExecStart= but with an ExecStop=
504 * dracut-shutdown needs to be ordered before unmounting /boot
506 * initialize the hostname from the fs label of /, if /etc/hostname does not exist?
508 * rename "userspace" to "core-os"
510 * syscall filter: optionally don't enforce no new privs?
512 * load-fragment: when loading a unit file via a chain of symlinks
513 verify that it isn't masked via any of the names traversed.
515 * introduce Type=pid-file
517 * change Requires=basic.target to RequisiteOverride=basic.target
519 * when breaking cycles drop sysv services first, then services from /run, then from /etc, then from /usr
521 * automount: implement expire:
522 - set superblock timeout AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_TIMEOUT_CMD
523 - periodically run AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_EXPIRE_CMD
524 - every timeout/4 (original autofs logic)
525 - blocking, needs a thread
527 - receive expire packet on pipe if kernel tells the timeout is over
529 - answer expire packet on pipe with AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_{READY,FAIL}_CMD
530 - AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_EXPIRE_CMD returns
532 * ExecOnFailure=/usr/bin/foo
535 - remove src/udev/udev-builtin-firmware.c (CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER=n)
538 - add trigger --subsystem-match=usb/usb_device device
540 * 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
542 * introduce mix of BindTo and Requisite
544 * add DeleteSocketsOnStop=yes|no option to socket units
546 * There's currently no way to cancel fsck (used to be possible via C-c or c on the console)
548 * add option to sockets to avoid activation. Instead just drop packets/connections, see http://cyberelk.net/tim/2012/02/15/portreserve-systemd-solution/
550 * default unix qlen is too small (10). bump sysctl? add sockopt?
552 * save coredump in Windows/Mozilla minidump format
554 * support crash reporting operation modes (https://live.gnome.org/GnomeOS/Design/Whiteboards/ProblemReporting)
556 * default to actual 32bit PIDs, via /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max
558 * be able to specify a forced restart of service A where service B depends on, in case B
559 needs to be auto-respawned?
561 * when a bus name of a service disappears from the bus make sure to queue further activation requests
564 - check systemd-tmpfiles for selinux context hookup for mknod(), symlink() and similar
565 - apply "x" on "D" too (see patch from William Douglas)
567 * for services: don't set $HOME in services unless requested
569 * hide PAM/TCPWrap options in fragment parser when compile time disabled
571 * when we automatically restart a service, ensure we restart its rdeps, too.
573 * allow Type=simple with PIDFile=
574 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=723942
576 * move PAM code into its own binary
578 * implement Register= switch in .socket units to enable registration
579 in Avahi, RPC and other socket registration services.
581 * make sure systemd-ask-password-wall does not shutdown systemd-ask-password-console too early
583 * support sd_notify() style notification when reload begins (RELOADING=1), reload is finished (READY=1), and add ReloadSignal= then to use in combination
585 * support sd_notify() style notification when shutting down, to make auto-exit bus services work (STOPPING=1)
587 * verify that the AF_UNIX sockets of a service in the fs still exist
588 when we start a service in order to avoid confusion when a user
589 assumes starting a service is enough to make it accessible
591 * support User= and Group= attributes for AF_UNIX sockets. (difficult, requires NSS from PID 1?)
593 * Make it possible to set the keymap independently from the font on
594 the kernel cmdline. Right now setting one resets also the other.
596 * and a dbus call to generate target from current state
599 - drop /.readahead on bigger upgrades with yum
600 - move readahead files into /var (look for them with .path units?)
601 - readahead: use BTRFS_IOC_DEFRAG_RANGE instead of BTRFS_IOC_DEFRAG ioctl, with START_IO
602 - readahead: when bumping /sys readahead variable save mtime and compare later to detect changes
603 - readahead: make use of EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT, as used by http://e4rat.sourceforge.net/
605 * add support for /bin/mount -s
607 * GC unreferenced jobs (such as .device jobs)
609 * write blog stories about:
610 - hwdb: what belongs into it, lsusb
611 - enabling dbus services
613 - how to make changes to sysctl and sysfs attributes
615 - how to pass throw-away units to systemd, or dynamically change properties of existing units
616 - how to integrate cgconfig and suchlike with systemd
617 - testing with Harald's awesome test kit
619 - how to develop against journal browsing APIs
620 - the journal HTTP iface
621 - non-cgroup resource management
622 - dynamic resource management with cgroups
623 - refreshed, longer missions statement
624 - calendar time events
625 - init=/bin/sh vs. "emergency" mode, vs. "rescue" mode, vs. "multi-user" mode, vs. "graphical" mode, and the debug shell
626 - how to create your own target
627 - instantiated apache, dovecot and so on
628 - hooking a script into various stages of shutdown/rearly booot
630 * allow port=0 in .socket units
632 * support systemd.mask= on the kernel command line.
634 * recreate systemd's D-Bus private socket file on SIGUSR2
636 * Support --test based on current system state
638 * investigate whether the gnome pty helper should be moved into systemd, to provide cgroup support.
640 * maybe introduce ExecRestartPre=
642 * dot output for --test showing the 'initial transaction'
644 * fingerprint.target, wireless.target, gps.target, netdevice.target
646 * io priority during initialization
648 * drop cap bounding set in readahead and other services
651 - figure out a simple way to wait for journal events in a way that
653 - add documentation to systemd.daemon
656 - plot per-process IO utilization
657 - group processes based on service association (cgroups)
658 - document initcall_debug
659 - kernel cmdline "bootchart" option for simplicity?
662 - Make sure ID_PATH is always exported and complete for
663 network devices where possible, so we can safely rely
667 - add support for exiting containers without reading them fully first
668 - add support for more attribute types
671 - add more keys to [Route] and [Address] sections
672 - add support for more DHCPv4 options (and, longer term, other kinds of dynamic config)
673 - add proper initrd support (in particular generate .network/.link files based on /proc/cmdline)
678 - natively watch for dbus-*.service symlinks (PENDING)
679 - teach dbus to activate all services it finds in /etc/systemd/services/org-*.service
681 * fix alsa mixer restore to not print error when no config is stored
683 * make cryptsetup lower --iter-time
685 * patch kernel for xattr support in /dev, /proc/, /sys?
687 * NTP: the kernel's 11-minutes-mode syncs the system time to the RTC, but only
688 in an ~30 minutes window. It does not adjust larger differences. Find a way
689 to tell the kernel, to always do a full time sync when the RTC is in UTC and
690 we are in 11-minutes-mode. When we trust the system time to NTP we also want
693 * kernel: add device_type = "fb", "fbcon" to class "graphics"
695 * drop accountsservice's StandardOutput=syslog and Type=dbus fields
697 * dbus upstream still refers to dbus.target and shouldn't
699 * dbus: in fedora, make /var/lib/dbus/machine-id a symlink to /etc/machine-id
701 * add "# export SYSTEMD_PAGER=" to bash login
703 * /usr/bin/service should actually show the new command line
705 * 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=
707 * fedora: F20: go timer units all the way, leave cron.daily for cron
709 * neither pkexec nor sudo initialize environ[] from the PAM environment?
711 * fedora: update policy to declare access mode and ownership of unit files to root:root 0644, and add an rpmlint check for it
715 * look for close() vs. close_nointr() vs. close_nointr_nofail()
717 * check for strerror(r) instead of strerror(-r)
719 * Use PR_SET_PROCTITLE_AREA if it becomes available in the kernel
723 * set_put(), hashmap_put() return values check. i.e. == 0 doesn't free()!
725 * use secure_getenv() instead of getenv() where appropriate
727 * link up selected blog stories from man pages and unit files Documentation= fields
729 Scheduled for removal or fixing:
731 * xxxOverridable dependencies (probably: fix)
