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_extract:
12 Environment=ONE='one' "TWO='two two' too" THREE=
13 ExecStart=/bin/python3 -c 'import sys;print(sys.argv)' $ONE $TWO $THREE
15 * When systemctl --host is used, underlying ssh connection can remain open.
16 bus_close does not kill children?
20 * Fedora: add an rpmlint check that verifies that all unit files in the RPM are listed in %systemd_post macros.
22 * wiki: update journal format documentation for lz4 additions
26 * code cleanup: retire FOREACH_WORD_QUOTED, port to extract_first_word() loops instead
28 * replace manual readdir() loops with FOREACH_DIRENT or FOREACH_DIRENT_ALL
30 * Get rid of the last strerror() invocations in favour of %m and strerror_r()
32 * Rearrange tests so that the various test-xyz.c match a specific src/basic/xyz.c again
36 * PID1: find a way how we can reload unit file configuration for
37 specific units only, without reloading the whole of systemd
39 * add an explicit parser for LimitNICE= and LimitRTPRIO= that verifies
40 the specified range and generates sane error messages for incorrect
41 specifications. Also, for LimitNICE= maybe introduce a syntax such
42 as "+5" or "-7" in order to make the limits more readable as they
43 are otherwise shifted by 20.
45 * do something about "/control" subcgroups in the unified cgroup hierarchy
47 * when we detect that there are waiting jobs but no running jobs, do something
49 * push CPUAffinity= also into the "cpuset" cgroup controller (only after the cpuset controller got ported to the unified hierarchy)
51 * add a new command "systemctl revert" or so, that removes all dropin
52 snippets in /run and /etc, and all unit files with counterparts in
53 /usr, and thus undoes what "systemctl set-property" and "systemctl
54 edit" create. Maybe even add "systemctl revert -a" to do this for
57 * PID 1 should send out sd_notify("WATCHDOG=1") messages (for usage in the --user mode, and when run via nspawn)
59 * consider throwing a warning if a service declares it wants to be "Before=" a .device unit.
61 * "systemctl edit" should know a mode to create a new unit file
63 * there's probably something wrong with having user mounts below /sys,
64 as we have for debugfs. for exmaple, src/core/mount.c handles mounts
65 prefixed with /sys generally special.
66 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-June/032962.html
68 * man: document that unless you use StandardError=null the shell >/dev/stderr won't work in shell scripts in services
70 * "systemctl daemon-reload" should result in /etc/systemd/system.conf being reloaded by systemd
72 * install: include generator dirs in unit file search paths
74 * invent a better systemd-run scheme for naming scopes, that works with remoting
76 * rework C11 utf8.[ch] to use char32_t instead of uint32_t when referring
77 to unicode chars, to make things more expressive.
79 * fstab-generator: default to tmpfs-as-root if only usr= is specified on the kernel cmdline
81 * docs: bring http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/MyServiceCantGetRealtime up to date
83 * mounting and unmounting mount points manually with different source
84 devices will result in collected collected on all devices used.
85 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-April/030225.html
87 * add a job mode that will fail if a transaction would mean stopping
88 running units. Use this in timedated to manage the NTP service
90 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-April/030229.html
92 * Maybe add support for the equivalent of "ethtool advertise" to .link files?
93 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-April/030112.html
95 * The udev blkid built-in should expose a property that reflects
96 whether media was sensed in USB CF/SD card readers. This should then
97 be used to control SYSTEMD_READY=1/0 so that USB card readers aren't
98 picked up by systemd unless they contain a medium. This would mirror
99 the behaviour we already have for CD drives.
101 * networkd/udev: implement SR_IOV configuration in .link files:
102 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-January/027451.html
104 * Rework systemctl's GetAll property parsing to use the generic bus_map_all_properties() API
106 * 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
108 * Port various tools to make use of verbs.[ch], where applicable
110 * hostnamectl: show root image uuid
112 * sysfs set api in libudev is not const
114 * Find a solution for SMACK capabilities stuff:
115 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-December/026188.html
117 * "systemctl preset-all" should probably order the unit files it
118 operates on lexicographically before starting to work, in order to
119 ensure deterministic behaviour if two unit files conflict (like DMs
122 * synchronize console access with BSD locks:
123 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-October/024582.html
125 * as soon as we have kdbus, and sender timestamps, revisit coalescing multiple parallel daemon reloads:
126 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-December/025862.html
128 * the install state probably shouldn't get confused by generated units, think dbus1/kdbus compat!
130 * in systemctl list-unit-files: show the install value the presets would suggest for a service in a third column
132 * figure out when we can use the coarse timers
134 * add "systemctl start -v foobar.service" that shows logs of a service
135 while the start command runs. This is non-trivial to do without
136 races though, since we should flush out all journal messages before
137 returning from the "systemctl stop".
139 * 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
141 * 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
143 * maybe add support for specifier expansion in user.conf, specifically DefaultEnvironment=
145 * introduce systemd-timesync-wait.service or so to sync on an NTP fix?
147 * systemd --user should issue sd_notify() upon reaching basic.target, not on becoming idle
149 * consider showing the unit names during boot up in the status output, not just the unit descriptions
151 * maybe allow timer units with an empty Units= setting, so that they
152 can be used for resuming the system but nothing else.
154 * what to do about udev db binary stability for apps? (raw access is not an option)
156 * maybe provide an API to allow migration of foreign PIDs into existing scopes.
158 * maybe support a new very "soft" reboot mode, that simply kills all processes, disassembles everything, flushes /run and sysvipc, and then reexecs systemd again
160 * man: maybe use the word "inspect" rather than "introspect"?
162 * systemctl: if some operation fails, show log output?
165 - allow creation of units from scratch
166 - use equvalent of cat() to insert existing config as a comment, prepended with #.
167 Upon editor exit, lines with one # are removed, lines with two # are left with one #, etc.
169 * exponential backoff in timesyncd and resolved when we cannot reach a server
171 * timesyncd + resolved: add ugly bus calls to set NTP and DNS servers per-interface, for usage by NM
173 * extract_many_words() should probably be used by a lot of code that
174 currently uses FOREACH_WORD and friends. For example, most conf
175 parsing callbacks should use it.
177 * merge ~/.local/share and ~/.local/lib into one similar /usr/lib and /usr/share....
179 * systemd.show_status= should probably have a mode where only failed
182 * add systemd.abort_on_kill or some other such flag to send SIGABRT instead of SIGKILL
183 (throughout the codebase, not only PID1)
186 - put networkd events and rtnl events at a higher priority, so that
187 we always process them before we process client requests
189 - add display of private key types (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4034#appendix-A.1.1)?
194 - DNS-SD service registration from socket units
196 - dname: Not necessary for plain DNS as synthesized cname is handed out instead if we do not
197 announce dname support. However, for DNSSEC it is necessary as the synthesized cname
200 - resolved should optionally register additional per-interface LLMNR
201 names, so that for the container case we can establish the same name
202 (maybe "host") for referencing the server, everywhere.
204 * refcounting in sd-resolve is borked
206 * Add a new verb "systemctl top"
208 * add new gpt type for btrfs volumes
210 * support empty /etc boots nicely:
211 - nspawn/gpt-generator: introduce new gpt partition type for /usr
212 - fstab-generator: support systemd.volatile=yes|no|state on the kernel cmdline, too, similar to nspawn's --volatile=
214 * generator that automatically discovers btrfs subvolumes, identifies their purpose based on some xattr on them.
216 * timer units: actually add extra delays to timer units with high AccuracySec values, don't start them already when we are awake...
218 * a way for container managers to turn off getty starting via $container_headless= or so...
220 * figure out a nice way how we can let the admin know what child/sibling unit causes cgroup membership for a specific unit
222 * mount_cgroup_controllers(): symlinks need to get the label applied
224 * For timer units: add some mechanisms so that timer units that trigger immediately on boot do not have the services
225 they run added to the initial transaction and thus confuse Type=idle.
227 * 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)
229 * add bus api to query unit file's X fields.
231 * gpt-auto-generator:
232 - Support LUKS for root devices
233 - Define new partition type for encrypted swap? Support probed LUKS for encrypted swap?
234 - Make /home automount rather than mount?
236 * add generator that pulls in systemd-network from containers when
237 CAP_NET_ADMIN is set, more than the loopback device is defined, even
238 when it is otherwise off
240 * MessageQueueMessageSize= and RLimitFSIZE= (and suchlike) should use parse_iec_size().
242 * "busctl status" works only as root on dbus1, since we cannot read
245 * implement Distribute= in socket units to allow running multiple
246 service instances processing the listening socket, and open this up
249 * socket units: support creating sockets in different namespace,
250 opening it up for JoinsNamespaceOf=. This would require to fork off
251 a tiny process that joins the namespace and creates/binds the socket
252 and passes this back to PID1 via SCM_RIGHTS. This also could be used
253 to allow Chown/chgrp on sockets without requiring NSS in PID 1.
255 * New service property: maximum CPU and wallclock runtime for a service
257 * introduce bus call FreezeUnit(s, b), as well as "systemctl freeze
258 $UNIT" and "systemctl thaw $UNIT" as wrappers around this. The calls
259 should SIGSTOP all unit processes in a loop until all processes of
260 it are fully stopped. This can later be used for app management by
261 desktop UIs such as gnome-shell to freeze apps that are not visible
262 on screen, not unlike how job control works on the shell
265 - implement per-slice CPUFairScheduling=1 switch
266 - handle jointly mounted controllers correctly
267 - introduce high-level settings for RT budget, swappiness
268 - how to reset dynamically changed unit cgroup attributes sanely?
269 - when reloading configuration, apply new cgroup configuration
270 - when recursively showing the cgroup hierarchy, optionally also show
271 the hierarchies of child processes
274 - add field to transient units that indicate whether systemd or somebody else saves/restores its settings, for integration with libvirt
275 - ensure scope units may be started only a single time
277 * Automatically configure swap partition to use for hibernation by looking for largest swap partition on the root disk?
279 * when we detect low battery and no AC on boot, show pretty splash and refuse boot
281 * libsystemd-journal, libsystemd-login, libudev: add calls to easily attach these objects to sd-event event loops
283 * be more careful what we export on the bus as (usec_t) 0 and (usec_t) -1
285 * unify dispatch table in systemctl_main() and friends
287 * 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
289 * After coming back from hibernation reset hibernation swap partition using the /dev/snapshot ioctl APIs
291 * If we try to find a unit via a dangling symlink, generate a clean
292 error. Currently, we just ignore it and read the unit from the search
295 * refuse boot if /etc/os-release is missing or /etc/machine-id cannot be set up
297 * btrfs raid assembly: some .device jobs stay stuck in the queue
299 * make sure gdm does not use multi-user-x but the new default X configuration file, and then remove multi-user-x from systemd
301 * man: the documentation of Restart= currently is very misleading and suggests the tools from ExecStartPre= might get restarted.
303 * load .d/*.conf dropins for device units
305 * allow implementation of InaccessibleDirectories=/ plus
306 ReadOnlyDirectories=... for whitelisting files for a service.
310 - GetAllProperties() on a non-existing object does not result in a failure currently
311 - kdbus: process fd=-1 for incoming msgs
312 - port to sd-resolve for connecting to TCP dbus servers
313 - kdbus: maybe add controlling tty metadata fields
314 - 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
315 - when kdbus does not take our message without memfds, try again with memfds
316 - see if we can drop more message validation on the sending side
317 - add API to clone sd_bus_message objects
318 - make AddMatch calls on dbus1 transports async?
319 - kdbus: matches against source or destination pids for an "strace -p"-like feel. Problem: The PID info needs to be available in userspace too...
320 - longer term: priority inheritance
323 - NameLost/NameAcquired obsolete
326 - update systemd.special(7) to mention that dbus.socket is only about the compatibility socket now
327 - test bloom filter generation indexes
328 - bus-proxy: when passing messages from kdbus, make sure we properly
329 handle the case where a large number of fds is appended that we
330 cannot pass into sendmsg() of the AF_UNIX sokcet (which only accepts
332 - kdbus: introduce a concept of "send-only" connections
333 - 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.
336 - allow multiple signal handlers per signal?
337 - document chaining of signal handler for SIGCHLD and child handlers
338 - define more intervals where we will shift wakeup intervals around in, 1h, 6h, 24h, ...
339 - generate a failure of a default event loop is executed out-of-thread
340 - maybe add support for inotify events
342 * in the final killing spree, detect processes from the root directory, and
343 complain loudly if they have argv[0][0] == '@' set.
344 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=961044
346 * investigate endianness issues of UUID vs. GUID
348 * dbus: when a unit failed to load (i.e. is in UNIT_ERROR state), we
349 should be able to safely try another attempt when the bus call LoadUnit() is invoked.
351 * add a pam module that passes the hdd passphrase into the PAM stack and then expires it, for usage by gdm auto-login.
353 * add a pam module that on password changes updates any LUKS slot where the password matches
355 * maybe add a generator that looks for "systemd.run=" on the kernel cmdline for container usercases...
357 * cgtop: make cgtop useful in a container
360 - add 'set -e' to scripts in test/
361 - make stuff in test/ work with separate output dir
363 * seems that when we follow symlinks to units we prefer the symlink
364 destination path over /etc and /usr. We should not do that. Instead
365 /etc should always override /run+/usr and also any symlink
368 * when isolating, try to figure out a way how we implicitly can order
369 all units we stop before the isolating unit...
371 * teach ConditionKernelCommandLine= globs or regexes (in order to match foobar={no,0,off})
373 * BootLoaderSpec: Clarify that the kernel has to be in $BOOT. Clarify
374 that the boot loader should be installed to the ESP. Define a way
375 how an installer can figure out whether a BLS compliant boot loader
378 * think about requeuing jobs when daemon-reload is issued? usecase:
379 the initrd issues a reload after fstab from the host is accessible
380 and we might want to requeue the mounts local-fs acquired through
383 * systemd-inhibit: make taking delay locks useful: support sending SIGINT or SIGTERM on PrepareForSleep()
385 * remove any syslog support from log.c -- we probably cannot do this before split-off udev is gone for good
387 * shutdown logging: store to EFI var, and store to USB stick?
389 * think about window-manager-run-as-user-service problem: exit 0 → activate shutdown.target; exit != 0 → restart service
391 * merge unit_kill_common() and unit_kill_context()
393 * introduce ExecCondition= in services
396 - honor language efi variables for default language selection (if there are any?)
397 - honor timezone efi variables for default timezone selection (if there are any?)
398 - change bootctl to be backed by systemd-bootd to control temporary and persistent default boot goal plus efi variables
400 * maybe do not install getty@tty1.service symlink in /etc but in /usr?
402 * print a nicer explanation if people use variable/specifier expansion in ExecStart= for the first word
404 * mount: turn dependency information from /proc/self/mountinfo into dependency information between systemd units.
407 - logind: optionally, ignore idle-hint logic for autosuspend, block suspend as long as a session is around
408 - When we update the kernel all kind of hibernation should be prohibited until shutdown/reboot
409 - logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
410 - Add pretty name for seats in logind
411 - logind: allow showing logout dialog from system?
412 - we should probably handle SIGTERM/SIGINT to not leave dot files around, just in case
413 - session scopes/user unit: add RequiresMountsFor for the home directory of the user
414 - add Suspend() bus calls which take timestamps to fix double suspend issues when somebody hits suspend and closes laptop quickly.
415 - if pam_systemd is invoked by su from a process that is outside of a
416 any session we should probably just become a NOP, since that's
417 usually not a real user session but just some system code that just
419 - logind: make the Suspend()/Hibernate() bus calls wait for the for
420 the job to be completed. before returning, so that clients can wait
421 for "systemctl suspend" to finish to know when the suspending is
423 - logind: when the power button is pressed short, just popup a
424 logout dialog. If it is pressed for 1s, do the usual
425 shutdown. Inspiration are Macs here.
426 - expose "Locked" property on logind sesison objects
427 - given that logind now lets PID 1 do all nasty work, we can
428 probably reduce the capability set it retains substantially.
429 (we need CAP_SYS_ADMIN for drmSetMaster(), so maybe not worth it)
430 - expose orientation sensors and tablet mode through logind
431 - maybe allow configuration of the StopTimeout for session scopes
432 - rename session scope so that it includes the UID. THat way
433 the session scope can be arranged freely in slices and we don't have
434 make assumptions about their slice anymore.
435 - follow PropertiesChanged state more closely, to deal with quick logouts and
438 * exec: when deinitializating a tty device fix the perms and group, too, not only when initializing. Set access mode/gid to 0620/tty.
440 * service: watchdog logic: for testing purposes allow ping, but do not require pong
443 - consider introducing implicit _TTY= + _PPID= + _EUID= + _EGID= + _FSUID= + _FSGID= fields
444 - import and delete pstore filesystem content at startup
445 - journald: also get thread ID from client, plus thread name
446 - journal: when waiting for journal additions in the client always sleep at least 1s or so, in order to minimize wakeups
447 - add API to close/reopen/get fd for journal client fd in libsystemd-journal.
448 - fallback to /dev/log based logging in libsystemd-journal, if we cannot log natively?
449 - declare the local journal protocol stable in the wiki interface chart
450 - sd-journal: speed up sd_journal_get_data() with transparent hash table in bg
451 - journald: when dropping msgs due to ratelimit make sure to write
452 "dropped %u messages" not only when we are about to print the next
453 message that works, but alraedy after a short tiemout
454 - check if we can make journalctl by default use --follow mode inside of less if called without args?
455 - maybe add API to send pairs of iovecs via sd_journal_send
456 - journal: when writing journal auto-rotate if time jumps backwards
457 - journal: add a setgid "systemd-journal" utility to invoke from libsystemd-journal, which passes fds via STDOUT and does PK access
458 - journactl: support negative filtering, i.e. FOOBAR!="waldo",
459 and !FOOBAR for events without FOOBAR.
460 - journal: store timestamp of journal_file_set_offline() int he header,
461 so it is possible to display when the file was last synced.
462 - 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.
463 - journal: find a way to allow dropping history early, based on priority, other rules
464 - journal: When used on NFS, check payload hashes
465 - journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
466 - refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
467 - journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
468 - journal: deal nicely with byte-by-byte copied files, especially regards header
469 - journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the components would fit
470 - Replace utmp, wtmp, btmp, and lastlog completely with journal
471 - journalctl: instead --after-cursor= maybe have a --cursor=XYZ+1 syntax?
472 - when a kernel driver logs in a tight loop, we should ratelimit that too.
473 - journald: optionally, log debug messages to /run but everything else to /var
474 - journald: when we drop syslog messages because the syslog socket is
475 full, make sure to write how many messages are lost as first thing
476 to syslog when it works again.
477 - journald: make sure ratelimit is actually really per-service with the new cgroup changes
478 - change systemd-journal-flush into a service that stays around during
479 boot, and causes the journal to be moved back to /run on shutdown,
480 so that we do not keep /var busy. This needs to happen synchronously,
481 hence doing this via signals is not going to work.
482 - optionally support running journald from the command line for testing purposes in external projects
483 - journald: allow per-priority and per-service retention times when rotating/vacuuming
484 - journald: make use of uid-range.h to managed uid ranges to split
486 - journalctl: add the ability to look for the most recent process of a binary. journalctl /usr/bin/X11 --pid=-1 or so...
487 - improve journalctl performance by loading journal files
488 lazily. Encode just enough information in the file name, so that we
489 do not have to open it to know that it is not interesting for us, for
490 the most common operations.
491 - journal-or-kmsg is currently broken? See reverted
492 commit 4a01181e460686d8b4a543b1dfa7f77c9e3c5ab8.
493 - man: document that corrupted journal files is nothing to act on
494 - systemd-journal-upload (or a new, related tool): allow pushing out
495 journal messages onto the network in BSD syslog protocol,
496 continuously. Default to some link-local IP mcast group, to make this
497 useful as a one-stop debugging tool.
498 - rework journald sigbus stuff to use mutex
499 - Set RLIMIT_NPROC for systemd-journal-xyz, and all other of our
500 services that run under their own user ids, and use User= (but only
501 in a world where userns is ubiquitous since otherwise we cannot
502 invoke those daemons on the host AND in a container anymore). Also,
503 if LimitNPROC= is used without User= we should warn and refuse
505 - journalctl --verify: don't show files that are currently being
506 written to as FAIL, but instead show that their are being written to.
507 - add journalctl -H that talks via ssh to a remote peer and passes through
509 - change journalctl -M to acquire fd to journal directory via machined, and
510 then operate on that via openat() instead of absolute paths
511 - add a version of --merge which also merges /var/log/journal/remote
512 - log accumulated resource usage after each service invocation
513 - journalctl: -m should access container journals directly by enumerating
514 them via machined, and also watch containers coming and going.
515 Benefit: nspawn --ephemeral would start working nicely with the journal.
516 - assign MESSAGE_ID to log messages about failed services
519 - document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fields in
520 [Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
521 - man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
522 - document the exit codes when services fail before they are exec()ed
523 - document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
524 - document in wiki how to map ical recurrence events to systemd timer unit calendar specifications
525 - add a man page containing packaging guidelines and recommending usage of things like Documentation=, PrivateTmp=, PrivateNetwork= and ReadOnlyDirectories=/etc /usr.
526 - document systemd-journal-flush.service properly
527 - documentation: recommend to connect the timer units of a service to the service via Also= in [Install]
528 - man: document the very specific env the shutdown drop-in tools live in
529 - man: add more examples to man pages
530 - man: maybe sort directives in man pages, and take sections from --help and apply them to man too
533 - systemctl list-jobs - show dependencies
534 - add systemctl switch to dump transaction without executing it
535 - Add a verbose mode to "systemctl start" and friends that explains what is being done or not done
536 - "systemctl disable" on a static unit prints no message and does
537 nothing. "systemctl enable" does nothing, and gives a bad message
538 about it. Should fix both to print nice actionable messages.
539 - print nice message from systemctl --failed if there are no entries shown, and hook that into ExecStartPre of rescue.service/emergency.service
540 - add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
541 - systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into does not exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
542 - systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
543 - better error message if you run systemctl without systemd running
544 - systemctl status output should should include list of triggering units and their status
547 - "systemctl mask" should find all names by which a unit is accessible
548 (i.e. by scanning for symlinks to it) and link them all to /dev/null
549 - systemctl list-unit-files should list generated files (and probably with a new state "generated" for them, or so)
552 - timer units should get the ability to trigger when:
553 o CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (TFD_TIMER_CANCEL_ON_SET)
555 - Support 2012-02~4 as syntax for specifying the fourth to last day of the month.
556 - calendarspec: support value ranges with ".." notation. Example: 2013-4..8-1
557 - Modulate timer frequency based on battery state
559 * add libsystemd-password or so to query passwords during boot using the password agent logic
561 * clean up date formatting and parsing so that all absolute/relative timestamps we format can also be parsed
563 * on shutdown: move utmp, wall, audit logic all into PID 1 (or logind?), get rid of systemd-update-utmp-runlevel
565 * make repeated alt-ctrl-del presses printing a dump, or even force a reboot without
566 waiting for the timeout
568 * hostnamed: before returning information from /etc/machine-info.conf check the modification data and reread. Similar for localed, ...
570 * currently x-systemd.timeout is lost in the initrd, since crypttab is copied into dracut, but fstab is not
573 - to allow "linking" of nspawn containers, extend --network-bridge= so
574 that it can dynamically create bridge interfaces that are refcounted
575 by the containers on them. For each group of containers to link together
576 - refuses to boot containers without /etc/machine-id (OK?), and with empty
577 /etc/machine-id (not OK).
578 - nspawn -x should support ephemeral instances of gpt images
579 - emulate /dev/kmsg using CUSE and turn off the syslog syscall
580 with seccomp. That should provide us with a useful log buffer that
581 systemd can log to during early boot, and disconnect container logs
582 from the kernel's logs.
583 - as soon as networkd has a bus interface, hook up --network-interface=,
584 --network-bridge= with networkd, to trigger netdev creation should an
586 - don't copy /etc/resolv.conf from host into container unless we are in
588 - a nice way to boot up without machine id set, so that it is set at boot
589 automatically for supporting --ephemeral. Maybe hash the host machine id
590 together with the machine name to generate the machine id for the container
591 - fix logic always print a final newline on output.
592 https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/272#issuecomment-113153176
593 - should optionally support receiving WATCHDOG=1 messages from its payload
595 - should send out sd_notify("WATCHDOG=1") messages
596 - optionally automatically add FORWARD rules to iptables whenever nspawn is
597 running, remove them when shut down.
598 - add a logic for cleaning up read-only, hidden container images in
599 /var/lib/machines that are not ancestors of any non-hidden containers
600 - Improve error message when --bind= is used on a non-existing source
602 - maybe make copying of /etc/resolv.conf optional, and skip it if --read-only
606 - "machinectl list" should probably show columns for OS version and IP
608 - add an API so that libvirt-lxc can inform us about network interfaces being
609 removed or added to an existing machine
610 - "machinectl migrate" or similar to copy a container from or to a
611 difference host, via ssh
612 - man: document how update dkr images works with machinectl
613 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-February/028630.html
614 - introduce systemd-nspawn-ephemeral@.service, and hook it into
615 "machinectl start" with a new --ephemeral switch
616 - "machinectl status" should also show internal logs of the container in
618 - "machinectl list-images" should show os-release data, as well as
619 machine-info data (including deployment level)
620 - "machinectl history"
622 - "machinectl commit" that takes a writable snapshot of a tree, invokes a
623 shell in it, and marks it read-only after use
626 - dkr: support tarsum checksum verification, if it becomes reality one day...
627 - dkr: convert json bits to nspawn configuration
628 - generate a nice warning if mkfs.btrfs is missing
631 - cryptsetup-generator: allow specification of passwords in crypttab itself
632 - move cryptsetup key caching into kernel keyctl?
633 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54982
634 - support rd.luks.allow-discards= kernel cmdline params in cryptsetup generator
636 * hw watchdog: optionally try to use the preset watchdog timeout instead of always overriding it
637 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54712
639 * create /sbin/init symlinks from the build system
641 * MountFlags=shared acts as MountFlags=slave right now.
643 * properly handle loop back mounts via fstab, especially regards to fsck/passno
645 * initialize the hostname from the fs label of /, if /etc/hostname does not exist?
647 * rename "userspace" to "core-os"
652 - add trigger --subsystem-match=usb/usb_device device
653 - reimport udev db after MOVE events for devices without dev_t
655 * 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
657 * There's currently no way to cancel fsck (used to be possible via C-c or c on the console)
659 * add option to sockets to avoid activation. Instead just drop packets/connections, see http://cyberelk.net/tim/2012/02/15/portreserve-systemd-solution/
662 - save coredump in Windows/Mozilla minidump format
663 - move PID 1 segfaults to /var/lib/systemd/coredump?
664 - make the handler check /proc/$PID/rlimits for RLIMIT_CORE,
665 and supress coredump if turned off. Then change RLIMIT_CORE to
666 infinity by default for all services. This then allows per-service
667 control of coredumping.
669 * support crash reporting operation modes (https://live.gnome.org/GnomeOS/Design/Whiteboards/ProblemReporting)
671 * default to actual 32-bit PIDs, via /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max
673 * be able to specify a forced restart of service A where service B depends on, in case B
674 needs to be auto-respawned?
677 - apply "x" on "D" too (see patch from William Douglas)
679 - instead of ignoring unknown fields, reject them.
680 - creating new directories/subvolumes/fifos/device nodes
681 should not follow symlinks. None of the other adjustment or creation
682 calls follow symlinks.
684 * make sure systemd-ask-password-wall does not shutdown systemd-ask-password-console too early
686 * verify that the AF_UNIX sockets of a service in the fs still exist
687 when we start a service in order to avoid confusion when a user
688 assumes starting a service is enough to make it accessible
690 * Make it possible to set the keymap independently from the font on
691 the kernel cmdline. Right now setting one resets also the other.
693 * and a dbus call to generate target from current state
695 * write blog stories about:
696 - hwdb: what belongs into it, lsusb
697 - enabling dbus services
699 - how to make changes to sysctl and sysfs attributes
701 - how to pass throw-away units to systemd, or dynamically change properties of existing units
702 - testing with Harald's awesome test kit
704 - how to develop against journal browsing APIs
705 - the journal HTTP iface
706 - non-cgroup resource management
707 - dynamic resource management with cgroups
708 - refreshed, longer missions statement
709 - calendar time events
710 - init=/bin/sh vs. "emergency" mode, vs. "rescue" mode, vs. "multi-user" mode, vs. "graphical" mode, and the debug shell
711 - how to create your own target
712 - instantiated apache, dovecot and so on
713 - hooking a script into various stages of shutdown/rearly booot
715 * investigate whether the gnome pty helper should be moved into systemd, to provide cgroup support.
717 * dot output for --test showing the 'initial transaction'
719 * fingerprint.target, wireless.target, gps.target, netdevice.target
722 - .timer units should optionally support CLOCK_BOOTTIME in addition to CLOCK_MONOTONIC
723 - When logging about multiple units (stopping BoundTo units, conflicts, etc.),
724 log both units as UNIT=, so that journalctl -u triggers on both.
725 - generate better errors when people try to set transient properties
726 that are not supported...
727 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-February/028076.html
728 - maybe introduce WantsMountsFor=? Usecase:
729 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-January/027729.html
730 - recreate systemd's D-Bus private socket file on SIGUSR2
731 - GC unreferenced jobs (such as .device jobs)
732 - move PAM code into its own binary
733 - when we automatically restart a service, ensure we restart its rdeps, too.
734 - for services: do not set $HOME in services unless requested
735 - hide PAM options in fragment parser when compile time disabled
736 - Support --test based on current system state
737 - 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().
738 - after deserializing sockets in socket.c we should reapply sockopts and things
739 - make timer units go away after they elapsed
740 - drop PID 1 reloading, only do reexecing (difficult: Reload()
741 currently is properly synchronous, Reexec() is weird, because we
742 cannot delay the response properly until we are back, so instead of
743 being properly synchronous we just keep open the fd and close it
744 when done. That means clients do not get a successful method reply,
745 but much rather a disconnect on success.
746 - when breaking cycles drop sysv services first, then services from /run, then from /etc, then from /usr
747 - when a bus name of a service disappears from the bus make sure to queue further activation requests
750 - allow port=0 in .socket units
751 - maybe introduce ExecRestartPre=
752 - add ReloadSignal= for configuring a reload signal to use
753 - implement Register= switch in .socket units to enable registration
754 in Avahi, RPC and other socket registration services.
755 - allow Type=simple with PIDFile=
756 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=723942
757 - allow writing multiple conditions in unit files on one line
758 - load-fragment: when loading a unit file via a chain of symlinks
759 verify that it is not masked via any of the names traversed.
760 - introduce Type=pid-file
761 - ExecOnFailure=/usr/bin/foo
762 - introduce mix of BindTo and Requisite
763 - add a concept of RemainAfterExit= to scope units
764 - Set NoNewPrivileges= on all of our own services, where that makes sense
765 - Allow multiple ExecStart= for all Type= settings, so that we can cover rescue.service nicely
766 - consider adding RuntimeDirectoryUser= + RuntimeDirectoryGroup=
769 - figure out a simple way to wait for journal events in a way that
771 - add documentation to systemd.daemon
774 - plot per-process IO utilization
775 - group processes based on service association (cgroups)
776 - document initcall_debug
777 - kernel cmdline "bootchart" option for simplicity?
780 - Make sure ID_PATH is always exported and complete for
781 network devices where possible, so we can safely rely
783 - check MTUBytes parsing (expecting size_t but we are using unsigned)
786 - add support for more attribute types
787 - inbuilt piping support (essentially degenerate async)? see loopback-setup.c and other places
790 - add more keys to [Route] and [Address] sections
791 - add support for more DHCPv4 options (and, longer term, other kinds of dynamic config)
792 - add proper initrd support (in particular generate .network/.link files based on /proc/cmdline)
793 - add reduced [Link] support to .network files
794 - add Scope= parsing option for [Network]
795 - properly handle routerless dhcp leases
796 - add more attribute support for SIT tunnel
797 - work with non-Ethernet devices
798 - add support for more bond options
799 - dhcp: do we allow configuring dhcp routes on interfaces that are not the one we got the dhcp info from?
800 - add LLDP client side support
801 - the DHCP lease data (such as NTP/DNS) is still made available when
802 a carrier is lost on a link. It should be removed instantly.
803 - expose in the API the following bits:
804 - option 15, domain name and/or option 119, search list
805 - option 12, host name and/or option 81, fqdn
806 - option 123, 144, geolocation
807 - option 252, configure http proxy (PAC/wpad)
808 - provide a way to define a per-network interface default metric value
809 for all routes to it. possibly a second default for DHCP routes.
810 - allow Name= to be specified repeatedly in the [Match] section. Maybe also
811 support Name=foo*|bar*|baz ?
812 - duplicate address check for static IPs (like ARPCHECK in network-scripts)
813 - allow DUID/IAID to be customized, see issue #394.
814 - support configuration option for TSO (tcp segmentation offload)
815 - whenever uplink info changes, make DHCP server send out FORCERENEW
817 * networkd-wait-online:
818 - make operstates to wait for configurable?
821 - figure out how much we can increase Maximum Message Size
822 - support RFC4702 (pass FQDN)
825 - add functions to set previously stored IPv6 addresses on startup and get
826 them at shutdown; store them in client->ia_na
827 - write more test cases
828 - implement reconfigure support, see 5.3., 15.11. and 22.20.
829 - implement support for temporary adressess (IA_TA)
830 - implement dhcpv6 authentication
831 - investigate the usefulness of Confirm messages; i.e. are there any
832 situations where the link changes without any loss in carrier detection
834 - some servers don't do rapid commit without a filled in IA_NA, verify
840 - natively watch for dbus-*.service symlinks (PENDING)
841 - teach dbus to activate all services it finds in /etc/systemd/services/org-*.service
843 * fix alsa mixer restore to not print error when no config is stored
845 * make cryptsetup lower --iter-time
847 * patch kernel for xattr support in /dev, /proc/, /sys?
849 * kernel: add device_type = "fb", "fbcon" to class "graphics"
851 * drop accountsservice's StandardOutput=syslog and Type=dbus fields
853 * dbus: in fedora, make /var/lib/dbus/machine-id a symlink to /etc/machine-id
855 * /usr/bin/service should actually show the new command line
857 * 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=
859 * fedora: F20: go timer units all the way, leave cron.daily for cron
861 * neither pkexec nor sudo initialize environ[] from the PAM environment?
863 * fedora: update policy to declare access mode and ownership of unit files to root:root 0644, and add an rpmlint check for it
865 * register catalog database signature as file magic
867 * zsh shell completion:
868 - <command> <verb> -<TAB> should complete options, but currently does not
869 - systemctl add-wants,add-requires
874 * look for close() vs. close_nointr() vs. close_nointr_nofail()
876 * check for strerror(r) instead of strerror(-r)
878 * Use PR_SET_PROCTITLE_AREA if it becomes available in the kernel
882 * set_put(), hashmap_put() return values check. i.e. == 0 does not free()!
884 * use secure_getenv() instead of getenv() where appropriate
886 * link up selected blog stories from man pages and unit files Documentation= fields
