2 * Re-enable "fsck -l" when it is ready:
3 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=79576#c5
5 * Should systemctl status \* work on all unit types, not just .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.
14 * Fedora: when installing fedora with yum --installroot /var/run is a directory, not a symlink
15 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=975864
17 * Fedora: add an rpmlint check that verifies that all unit files in the RPM are listed in %systemd_post macros.
19 * Fedora: post FPC ticket to move add %tmpfiles_create to the packaging guidelines
21 * Fedora: move kernel image to /usr/lib/modules/, kernel-install will take care of populating /boot
23 * Fedora: remove /etc/resolv.conf tmpfiles hack
27 * maybe add "systemctl edit" that copies unit files from /usr/lib/systemd/system to /etc/systemd/system and invokes vim on them
29 * dbus: add new message hdr field for allowing interactive auth, write spec for it. update dbus spec to mandate that unknown flags *must* be ignored...
31 * maybe introduce AssertXYZ= similar to ConditionXYZ= that causes a unit to fail (instead of skipping it) if some condition is not true...
33 * remove multi-seat-x now
35 * refcounting in sd-resolve is borked
37 * exponential backoff in timesyncd and resolved when we cannot reach a server
39 * apply start timeout during the "initializing" manager state only,
40 instead of both "initializing" and "starting". maybe rename the
41 timeout to "initialization-timeout" then or so?
43 * journald: make use of uid-range.h to managed uid ranges to split
46 * tmpfiles: port to unquote_many_words(), similar to sysusers
48 * unquote_many_words() should probably be used by a lot of code that
49 currently uses FOREACH_WORD and friends. For example, most conf
50 parsing callbacks should use it.
52 * logind: make the Suspend()/Hibernate() bus calls wait for the for
53 the job to be completed. before returning, so that clients can wait
54 for "systemctl suspend" to finish to know when the suspending is
57 * merge ~/.local/share and ~/.local/lib into one similar /usr/lib and /usr/share....
59 * remove readahead in 217
61 * journald: allows specification of UID range for splitting up journal files
63 * systemd.show_status= should probably have a mode where only failed
67 - add LLDP client side support
68 - ipv4ll with multiple interfaces doesn't work when both dhcp and
69 ipv4ll is used. for some reasons the kernel will currently pick an
70 ipv4ll source address to reach non-ipv4ll gateways.
71 - dhcp and ipv4ll should probably be skipped for "lo" devices, even
72 if the user has a catchall .network file installed, that might
73 theoretically match it.
74 - the DHCP lease data (such as NTP/DNS) is still made available when
75 a carrier is lost on a link. It should be removed instantly.
76 - .network setting that allows overriding of the hostname to send to the dhcp server
77 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-July/021550.html
78 - expose in the API the following bits:
79 - option 15, domain name and/or option 119, search list
80 - option 12, host name and/or option 81, fqdn
81 - option 100, 101, timezone
82 - option 123, 144, geolocation
83 - option 252, configure http proxy (PAC/wpad)
84 - networkd's dhcp server should transparently pass on the DNS and
85 NTP server list it got from user configuration and its dhcp client
86 to clients. It should also pass on its own timezone information.
87 - provide a way to define a per-network interface default metric value
88 for all routes to it. possibly a second default for DHCP routes.
91 - put networkd events and rtnl events at a higher priority, so that
92 we always process them before we process client requests
94 - use base64 for key presentation?
95 - add display of private key types (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4034#appendix-A.1.1)?
96 - add nice formatting of DNS timestamps
101 - DNS-SD service registration from socket units
106 * Ignore .busname units on classic D-Bus boots, systemd-resolved cannot be started on kdbus
107 without the active policy and should get a Wants=org.freedesktop.resolve1.busname to
110 * Allow multiple ExecStart= for all Type= settings, so that we can cover rescue.service nicely
112 * Add a new verb "systemctl top"
114 * logind: allow users to kill or lock their own sessions
116 * add new gpt type for btrfs volumes
118 * support empty /etc boots nicely:
119 - nspawn/gpt-generator: introduce new gpt partition type for /usr
120 - fstab-generator: support systemd.volatile=yes|no|state on the kernel cmdline, too, similar to nspawn's --volatile=
121 - fstab-generator: add support for usr= in addition to root= on the kernel cmdline
123 * generator that automatically discovers btrfs subvolumes, identifies their purpose based on some xattr on them.
125 * support setting empty environment variables with Environment= and EnvironmentFile=
127 * timer units: actually add extra delays to timer units with high AccuracySec values, don't start them already when we are awake...
129 * a way for container managers to turn off getty starting via $container_headless= or so...
131 * figure out a nice way how we can let the admin know what child/sibling unit causes cgroup membership for a specific unit
133 * journalctl: add the ability to look for the most recent process of a binary. journalctl /usr/bin/X11 --pid=-1 or so...
135 * set NOTIFY_SOCKET also for control processes
137 * mount_cgroup_controllers(): symlinks need to get the label applied
139 * For timer units: add some mechanisms so that timer units that trigger immediately on boot do not have the services
140 they run added to the initial transaction and thus confuse Type=idle.
142 * 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)
144 * sd-event: generate a failure of a default event loop is executed out-of-thread
146 * expose "Locked" property on logind sesison objects
148 * add bus api to query unit file's X fields.
150 * consider adding RuntimeDirectoryUser= + RuntimeDirectoryGroup=
152 * sd-event: define more intervals where we will shift wakeup intervals around in, 1h, 6h, 24h, ...
154 * gpt-auto-generator:
155 - Support LUKS for root devices
156 - Define new partition type for encrypted swap? Support probed LUKS for encrypted swap?
157 - Make /home automount rather than mount?
159 * improve journalctl performance by loading journal files
160 lazily. Encode just enough information in the file name, so that we
161 do not have to open it to know that it is not interesting for us, for
162 the most common operations.
164 * add generator that pulls in systemd-network from containers when
165 CAP_NET_ADMIN is set, more than the loopback device is defined, even
166 when it is otherwise off
168 * MessageQueueMessageSize= and RLimitFSIZE= (and suchlike) should use parse_iec_size().
170 * "busctl status" works only as root on dbus1, since we cannot read
173 * implement Distribute= in socket units to allow running multiple
174 service instances processing the listening socket, and open this up
177 * socket units: support creating sockets in different namespace,
178 opening it up for JoinsNamespaceOf=. This would require to fork off
179 a tiny process that joins the namespace and creates/binds the socket
180 and passes this back to PID1 via SCM_RIGHTS. This also could be used
181 to allow Chown/chgrp on sockets without requiring NSS in PID 1.
183 * New service property: maximum CPU and wallclock runtime for a service
185 * introduce bus call FreezeUnit(s, b), as well as "systemctl freeze
186 $UNIT" and "systemctl thaw $UNIT" as wrappers around this. The calls
187 should SIGSTOP all unit processes in a loop until all processes of
188 it are fully stopped. This can later be used for app management by
189 desktop UIs such as gnome-shell to freeze apps that are not visible
190 on screen, not unlike how job control works on the shell
193 - manager property enumeration was broken when systemd moved to /usr/lib/
196 - implement per-slice CPUFairScheduling=1 switch
197 - handle jointly mounted controllers correctly
198 - introduce high-level settings for RT budget, swappiness
199 - how to reset dynamically changed unit cgroup attributes sanely?
200 - when reloading configuration, apply new cgroup configuration
201 - when recursively showing the cgroup hierarchy, optionally also show
202 the hierarchies of child processes
205 - allow creating auxiliary units with the same call
206 - add field to transient units that indicate whether systemd or somebody else saves/restores its settings, for integration with libvirt
207 - ensure scope units may be started only a single time
209 * Automatically configure swap partition to use for hibernation by looking for largest swap partition on the root disk?
211 * when we detect low battery and no AC on boot, show pretty splash and refuse boot
213 * machined, localed: when we try to kill an empty cgroup, generate an ESRCH error over the bus
215 * libsystemd-journal, libsystemd-login, libudev: add calls to easily attach these objects to sd-event event loops
217 * be more careful what we export on the bus as (usec_t) 0 and (usec_t) -1
219 * unify dispatch table in systemctl_main() and friends
221 * 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
223 * After coming back from hibernation reset hibernation swap partition using the /dev/snapshot ioctl APIs
225 * If we try to find a unit via a dangling symlink, generate a clean
226 error. Currently, we just ignore it and read the unit from the search
229 * refuse boot if /etc/os-release is missing or /etc/machine-id cannot be set up
231 * given that logind now lets PID 1 do all nasty work, we can
232 probably reduce the capability set it retains substantially.
233 (we need CAP_SYS_ADMIN for drmSetMaster(), so maybe not worth it)
235 * btrfs raid assembly: some .device jobs stay stuck in the queue
237 * make sure gdm does not use multi-user-x but the new default X configuration file, and then remove multi-user-x from systemd
239 * man: the documentation of Restart= currently is very misleading and suggests the tools from ExecStartPre= might get restarted.
241 * load .d/*.conf dropins for device units
243 * allow implementation of InaccessibleDirectories=/ plus
244 ReadOnlyDirectories=... for whitelisting files for a service.
247 - when kdbus does not take our message without memfds, try again with memfds
248 - systemd-bus-proxyd needs to enforce good old XML policy
249 - allow updating attach flags during runtime
250 - pid1: peek into activating message when activating a service
251 - introduce sd_bus_emit_object_added()/sd_bus_emit_object_removed() that automatically includes the build-in interfaces in the list
252 - port to sd-resolve for connecting to TCP dbus servers
253 - see if we can drop more message validation on the sending side
254 - add API to clone sd_bus_message objects
255 - make AddMatch calls on dbus1 transports async?
256 - kdbus: matches against source or destination pids for an "strace -p"-like feel. Problem: The PID info needs to be available in userspace too...
257 - longer term: priority inheritance
260 - NameLost/NameAcquired obsolete
262 - "const" properties (posted)
264 - update systemd.special(7) to mention that dbus.socket is only about the compatibility socket now
265 - test bloom filter generation indexes
268 - allow multiple signal handlers per signal?
270 * in the final killing spree, detect processes from the root directory, and
271 complain loudly if they have argv[0][0] == '@' set.
272 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=961044
274 * investigate endianness issues of UUID vs. GUID
276 * dbus: when a unit failed to load (i.e. is in UNIT_ERROR state), we
277 should be able to safely try another attempt when the bus call LoadUnit() is invoked.
279 * add a pam module that passes the hdd passphrase into the PAM stack and then expires it, for usage by gdm auto-login.
281 * add a pam module that on password changes updates any LUKS slot where the password matches
283 * maybe add a generator that looks for "systemd.run=" on the kernel cmdline for container usercases...
285 * timedatectl: print a nicer message when enabling ntp fails because ntpd/chrony are not installed
287 * cgtop: make cgtop useful in a container
290 - add 'set -e' to scripts in test/
291 - make stuff in test/ work with separate output dir
293 * seems that when we follow symlinks to units we prefer the symlink
294 destination path over /etc and /usr. We should not do that. Instead
295 /etc should always override /run+/usr and also any symlink
298 * when isolating, try to figure out a way how we implicitly can order
299 all units we stop before the isolating unit...
301 * teach ConditionKernelCommandLine= globs or regexes (in order to match foobar={no,0,off})
303 * after all byte-wise realloc() is slow, even on glibc, so i guess we
304 need manual exponential loops after all
306 * BootLoaderSpec: Clarify that the kernel has to be in $BOOT. Clarify
307 that the boot loader should be installed to the ESP. Define a way
308 how an installer can figure out whether a BLS compliant boot loader
311 * think about requeuing jobs when daemon-reload is issued? usecase:
312 the initrd issues a reload after fstab from the host is accessible
313 and we might want to requeue the mounts local-fs acquired through
316 * systemd-inhibit: make taking delay locks useful: support sending SIGINT or SIGTERM on PrepareForSleep()
318 * journal-or-kmsg is currently broken? See reverted commit 4a01181e460686d8b4a543b1dfa7f77c9e3c5ab8.
320 * remove any syslog support from log.c -- we probably cannot do this before split-off udev is gone for good
322 * shutdown logging: store to EFI var, and store to USB stick?
324 * write UI tool that pops up emergency messages from the journal as notification
326 * think about window-manager-run-as-user-service problem: exit 0 → activate shutdown.target; exit != 0 → restart service
328 * use "log level" rather than "log priority" everywhere
330 * merge unit_kill_common() and unit_kill_context()
332 * introduce ExecCondition= in services
335 - honor language efi variables for default language selection (if there are any?)
336 - honor timezone efi variables for default timezone selection (if there are any?)
337 - change bootctl to be backed by systemd-bootd to control temporary and persistent default boot goal plus efi variables
339 * maybe do not install getty@tty1.service symlink in /etc but in /usr?
341 * re-enable "make check" for gtk-doc (broken for unknown reason)
343 * fstab: add new mount option x-systemd-after=/foobar/waldo to allow manual dependencies to other mount points
344 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=812826
346 * print a nicer explanation if people use variable/specifier expansion in ExecStart= for the first word
348 * mount: turn dependency information from /proc/self/mountinfo into dependency information between systemd units.
351 - logind: optionally, ignore idle-hint logic for autosuspend, block suspend as long as a session is around
352 - When we update the kernel all kind of hibernation should be prohibited until shutdown/reboot
353 - logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
354 - Add pretty name for seats in logind
355 - logind: allow showing logout dialog from system?
356 - we should probably handle SIGTERM/SIGINT to not leave dot files around, just in case
357 - session scopes/user unit: add RequiresMountsFor for the home directory of the user
358 - add Suspend() bus calls which take timestamps to fix double suspend issues when somebody hits suspend and closes laptop quickly.
359 - if pam_systemd is invoked by su from a process that is outside of a
360 any session we should probably just become a NOP, since that's
361 usually not a real user session but just some system code that just
364 * exec: when deinitializating a tty device fix the perms and group, too, not only when initializing. Set access mode/gid to 0620/tty.
366 * service: watchdog logic: for testing purposes allow ping, but do not require pong
369 - import and delete pstore filesystem content at startup
370 - journald: also get thread ID from client, plus thread name
371 - journal: when waiting for journal additions in the client always sleep at least 1s or so, in order to minimize wakeups
372 - add API to close/reopen/get fd for journal client fd in libsystemd-journal.
373 - fallback to /dev/log based logging in libsystemd-journal, if we cannot log natively?
374 - declare the local journal protocol stable in the wiki interface chart
375 - journal: reuse XZ context
376 - sd-journal: speed up sd_journal_get_data() with transparent hash table in bg
377 - journald: when dropping msgs due to ratelimit make sure to write
378 "dropped %u messages" not only when we are about to print the next
379 message that works, but alraedy after a short tiemout
380 - check if we can make journalctl by default use --follow mode inside of less if called without args?
381 - maybe add API to send pairs of iovecs via sd_journal_send
382 - journal: when writing journal auto-rotate if time jumps backwards
383 - journal: add a setgid "systemd-journal" utility to invoke from libsystemd-journal, which passes fds via STDOUT and does PK access
384 - journactl: support negative filtering, i.e. FOOBAR!="waldo",
385 and !FOOBAR for events without FOOBAR.
386 - journal: send out marker messages every now and then, and immediately sync with fdatasync() afterwards, in order to have hourly guaranteed syncs.
387 - 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.
388 - journal: find a way to allow dropping history early, based on priority, other rules
389 - journal: When used on NFS, check payload hashes
390 - journald: check whether it is OK if the client can still modify delivered journal entries
391 - journal live copy, based on libneon (client) and libmicrohttpd (server)
392 - journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
393 - refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
394 - journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
395 - journal: deal nicely with byte-by-byte copied files, especially regards header
396 - journal: store euid in journal if it differs from uid
397 - journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the components would fit
398 - Replace utmp, wtmp, btmp, and lastlog completely with journal
399 - journalctl: instead --after-cursor= maybe have a --cursor=XYZ+1 syntax?
400 - tmpfiles: when applying ownership to /run/log/journal, also do this for the journal fails contained in it
401 - when a kernel driver logs in a tight loop, we should ratelimit that too.
402 - journald: optionally, log debug messages to /run but everything else to /var
403 - journald: when we drop syslog messages because the syslog socket is
404 full, make sure to write how many messages are lost as first thing
405 to syslog when it works again.
406 - journald: make sure ratelimit is actually really per-service with the new cgroup changes
407 - change systemd-journal-flush into a service that stays around during
408 boot, and causes the journal to be moved back to /run on shutdown,
409 so that we do not keep /var busy. This needs to happen synchronously,
410 hence doing this via signals is not going to work.
413 - document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fields in
414 [Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
415 - man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
416 - document the exit codes when services fail before they are exec()ed
417 - document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
418 - document in wiki how to map ical recurrence events to systemd timer unit calendar specifications
419 - add a man page containing packaging guidelines and recommending usage of things like Documentation=, PrivateTmp=, PrivateNetwork= and ReadOnlyDirectories=/etc /usr.
420 - document systemd-journal-flush.service properly
421 - documentation: recommend to connect the timer units of a service to the service via Also= in [Install]
422 - man: document the very specific env the shutdown drop-in tools live in
423 - man: extend runlevel(8) to mention that runlevels suck, and are dead. Maybe add runlevel(7) with a note about that too
424 - man: add more examples to man pages
425 - man: maybe sort directives in man pages, and take sections from --help and apply them to man too
428 - systemctl list-jobs - show dependencies
429 - add systemctl switch to dump transaction without executing it
430 - Add a verbose mode to "systemctl start" and friends that explains what is being done or not done
431 - "systemctl disable" on a static unit prints no message and does
432 nothing. "systemctl enable" does nothing, and gives a bad message
433 about it. Should fix both to print nice actionable messages.
434 - print nice message from systemctl --failed if there are no entries shown, and hook that into ExecStartPre of rescue.service/emergency.service
435 - add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
436 - systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into does not exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
437 - systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
438 - support "systemctl stop foobar@.service" to stop all units matching a certain template
439 - Something is wrong with symlink handling of "autovt@.service" in "systemctl list-unit-files"
440 - better error message if you run systemctl without systemd running
441 - systemctl status output should should include list of triggering units and their status
444 - "systemctl mask" should find all names by which a unit is accessible
445 (i.e. by scanning for symlinks to it) and link them all to /dev/null
446 - systemctl list-unit-files should list generated files (and probably with a new state "generated" for them, or so)
447 - systemctl: maybe add "systemctl add-wants" or so...
450 - timer units should get the ability to trigger when:
451 o CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (TFD_TIMER_CANCEL_ON_SET)
453 - Support 2012-02~4 as syntax for specifying the fourth to last day of the month.
454 - calendarspec: support value ranges with ".." notation. Example: 2013-4..8-1
455 - 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
456 - Modulate timer frequency based on battery state
458 * update the kernel's TZ (sys_tz) when DST changes
460 * sync down the system time to the RTC when:
461 - CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (the user explicitely requested a time set)
462 - DST/timezone changes && ntp is active && RTC-in-localtime (never do it without ntp)
463 This takes care of syncing ntpdate updates to the RTC, and DST updates for localtime
464 mode, it will never touch the RTC if the no reliable time source is active or the
465 user did not request anything like it.
467 * add libsystemd-password or so to query passwords during boot using the password agent logic
469 * 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().
471 * fedup: add --unit to systemctl switch-root somehow
472 * fedup: do not delete initrd on switch-root
475 * clean up date formatting and parsing so that all absolute/relative timestamps we format can also be parsed
477 * on shutdown: move utmp, wall, audit logic all into PID 1 (or logind?), get rid of systemd-update-utmp-runlevel
479 * make repeated alt-ctrl-del presses printing a dump, or even force a reboot without
480 waiting for the timeout
482 * hostnamed: before returning information from /etc/machine-info.conf check the modification data and reread. Similar for localed, ...
484 * currently x-systemd.timeout is lost in the initrd, since crypttab is copied into dracut, but fstab is not
487 - bind mount read-only the cgroup tree higher than nspawn
488 - refuses to boot containers without /etc/machine-id (OK?), and with empty /etc/machine-id (not OK).
489 - support taking a btrfs snapshot at startup and dropping it afterwards
492 - cryptsetup-generator: allow specification of passwords in crypttab itself
493 - move cryptsetup key caching into kernel keyctl?
494 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54982
495 - support rd.luks.allow-discards= kernel cmdline params in cryptsetup generator
497 * hw watchdog: optionally try to use the preset watchdog timeout instead of always overriding it
498 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54712
500 * after deserializing sockets in socket.c we should reapply sockopts and things
502 * make timer units go away after they elapsed
504 * come up with a nice way to write queue/read_ahead_kb for a block device without interfering with readahead
506 * move PID 1 segfaults to /var/lib/systemd/coredump?
508 * create /sbin/init symlinks from the build system
510 * allow writing multiple conditions in unit files on one line
512 * MountFlags=shared acts as MountFlags=slave right now.
514 * drop PID 1 reloading, only do reexecing (difficult: Reload()
515 currently is properly synchronous, Reexec() is weird, because we
516 cannot delay the response properly until we are back, so instead of
517 being properly synchronous we just keep open the fd and close it
518 when done. That means clients do not get a successful method reply,
519 but much rather a disconnect on success.
521 * properly handle loop back mounts via fstab, especially regards to fsck/passno
523 * initialize the hostname from the fs label of /, if /etc/hostname does not exist?
525 * rename "userspace" to "core-os"
527 * load-fragment: when loading a unit file via a chain of symlinks
528 verify that it is not masked via any of the names traversed.
530 * introduce Type=pid-file
532 * change Requires=basic.target to RequisiteOverride=basic.target
534 * when breaking cycles drop sysv services first, then services from /run, then from /etc, then from /usr
536 * automount: implement expire:
537 - set superblock timeout AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_TIMEOUT_CMD
538 - periodically run AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_EXPIRE_CMD
539 - every timeout/4 (original autofs logic)
540 - blocking, needs a thread
542 - receive expire packet on pipe if kernel tells the timeout is over
544 - answer expire packet on pipe with AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_{READY,FAIL}_CMD
545 - AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_EXPIRE_CMD returns
547 * ExecOnFailure=/usr/bin/foo
552 - add trigger --subsystem-match=usb/usb_device device
553 - reimport udev db after MOVE events for devices without dev_t
555 * 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
557 * introduce mix of BindTo and Requisite
559 * There's currently no way to cancel fsck (used to be possible via C-c or c on the console)
561 * add option to sockets to avoid activation. Instead just drop packets/connections, see http://cyberelk.net/tim/2012/02/15/portreserve-systemd-solution/
563 * default unix qlen is too small (10). bump sysctl? add sockopt?
565 * save coredump in Windows/Mozilla minidump format
567 * support crash reporting operation modes (https://live.gnome.org/GnomeOS/Design/Whiteboards/ProblemReporting)
569 * default to actual 32-bit PIDs, via /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max
571 * be able to specify a forced restart of service A where service B depends on, in case B
572 needs to be auto-respawned?
574 * when a bus name of a service disappears from the bus make sure to queue further activation requests
577 - apply "x" on "D" too (see patch from William Douglas)
579 * for services: do not set $HOME in services unless requested
581 * hide PAM options in fragment parser when compile time disabled
583 * when we automatically restart a service, ensure we restart its rdeps, too.
585 * allow Type=simple with PIDFile=
586 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=723942
588 * move PAM code into its own binary
590 * implement Register= switch in .socket units to enable registration
591 in Avahi, RPC and other socket registration services.
593 * make sure systemd-ask-password-wall does not shutdown systemd-ask-password-console too early
595 * add ReloadSignal= for configuring a reload signal to use
597 * verify that the AF_UNIX sockets of a service in the fs still exist
598 when we start a service in order to avoid confusion when a user
599 assumes starting a service is enough to make it accessible
601 * Make it possible to set the keymap independently from the font on
602 the kernel cmdline. Right now setting one resets also the other.
604 * and a dbus call to generate target from current state
607 - drop /.readahead on bigger upgrades with yum
608 - move readahead files into /var (look for them with .path units?)
609 - readahead: use BTRFS_IOC_DEFRAG_RANGE instead of BTRFS_IOC_DEFRAG ioctl, with START_IO
610 - readahead: when bumping /sys readahead variable save mtime and compare later to detect changes
611 - readahead: make use of EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT, as used by http://e4rat.sourceforge.net/
613 * GC unreferenced jobs (such as .device jobs)
615 * write blog stories about:
616 - hwdb: what belongs into it, lsusb
617 - enabling dbus services
619 - how to make changes to sysctl and sysfs attributes
621 - how to pass throw-away units to systemd, or dynamically change properties of existing units
622 - how to integrate cgconfig and suchlike with systemd
623 - testing with Harald's awesome test kit
625 - how to develop against journal browsing APIs
626 - the journal HTTP iface
627 - non-cgroup resource management
628 - dynamic resource management with cgroups
629 - refreshed, longer missions statement
630 - calendar time events
631 - init=/bin/sh vs. "emergency" mode, vs. "rescue" mode, vs. "multi-user" mode, vs. "graphical" mode, and the debug shell
632 - how to create your own target
633 - instantiated apache, dovecot and so on
634 - hooking a script into various stages of shutdown/rearly booot
636 * allow port=0 in .socket units
638 * recreate systemd's D-Bus private socket file on SIGUSR2
640 * Support --test based on current system state
642 * investigate whether the gnome pty helper should be moved into systemd, to provide cgroup support.
644 * maybe introduce ExecRestartPre=
646 * dot output for --test showing the 'initial transaction'
648 * fingerprint.target, wireless.target, gps.target, netdevice.target
650 * drop cap bounding set in readahead and other services
653 - figure out a simple way to wait for journal events in a way that
655 - add documentation to systemd.daemon
658 - plot per-process IO utilization
659 - group processes based on service association (cgroups)
660 - document initcall_debug
661 - kernel cmdline "bootchart" option for simplicity?
664 - Make sure ID_PATH is always exported and complete for
665 network devices where possible, so we can safely rely
667 - check MTUBytes parsing (expecting size_t but we are using unsigned)
670 - add support for more attribute types
671 - inbuilt piping support (essentially degenerate async)? see loopback-setup.c and other places
674 - add more keys to [Route] and [Address] sections
675 - add support for more DHCPv4 options (and, longer term, other kinds of dynamic config)
676 - add proper initrd support (in particular generate .network/.link files based on /proc/cmdline)
677 - add reduced [Link] support to .network files
678 - add Scope= parsing option for [Network]
679 - properly handle routerless dhcp leases
680 - add more attribute support for SIT tunnel
681 - work with non-ethernet devices
682 - add support for more bond options
684 * networkd-wait-online:
685 - make operstates to wait for configurable?
688 - figure out how much we can increase Maximum Message Size
689 - export timezone information
690 - support RFC4702 (pass FQDN)
693 - add functions to set previously stored IPv6 addresses on startup and get
694 them at shutdown; store them in client->ia_na
695 - write more test cases
696 - implement and do duplicate address detection, see rfc 4862, 5.4.
697 - implement reconfigure support, see 5.3., 15.11. and 22.20.
698 - implement information request, see 1.2. and 18.1.5.
699 - implement support for temporary adressess (IA_TA)
700 - implement elapsed time option
701 - implement dhcpv6 authentication
702 - investigate the usefulness of Confirm messages; i.e. are there any
703 situations where the link changes without any loss in carrier detection
705 - some servers don't do rapid commit without a filled in IA_NA, verify
711 - natively watch for dbus-*.service symlinks (PENDING)
712 - teach dbus to activate all services it finds in /etc/systemd/services/org-*.service
714 * fix alsa mixer restore to not print error when no config is stored
716 * make cryptsetup lower --iter-time
718 * patch kernel for xattr support in /dev, /proc/, /sys?
720 * kernel: add device_type = "fb", "fbcon" to class "graphics"
722 * drop accountsservice's StandardOutput=syslog and Type=dbus fields
724 * dbus upstream still refers to dbus.target and should not
726 * dbus: in fedora, make /var/lib/dbus/machine-id a symlink to /etc/machine-id
728 * add "# export SYSTEMD_PAGER=" to bash login
730 * /usr/bin/service should actually show the new command line
732 * 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=
734 * fedora: F20: go timer units all the way, leave cron.daily for cron
736 * neither pkexec nor sudo initialize environ[] from the PAM environment?
738 * fedora: update policy to declare access mode and ownership of unit files to root:root 0644, and add an rpmlint check for it
740 * register catalog database signature as file magic
742 * zsh shell completion: <command> <verb> -<TAB> should complete options, but currently
747 * look for close() vs. close_nointr() vs. close_nointr_nofail()
749 * check for strerror(r) instead of strerror(-r)
751 * Use PR_SET_PROCTITLE_AREA if it becomes available in the kernel
755 * set_put(), hashmap_put() return values check. i.e. == 0 does not free()!
757 * use secure_getenv() instead of getenv() where appropriate
759 * link up selected blog stories from man pages and unit files Documentation= fields
761 Scheduled for removal or fixing:
763 * xxxOverridable dependencies (probably: fix)
