3 * enabling an instance unit creates pointless link, and
4 the unit will be started with getty@getty.service:
5 $ systemctl enable getty@.service
6 ln -s '/usr/lib/systemd/system/getty@.service' '/etc/systemd/system/getty.target.wants/getty@.service'
8 * check systemd-tmpfiles for selinux context hookup for mknod(), symlink() and similar
10 * swap units that are activated by one name but shown in the kernel under another are semi-broken
12 * Dangling symlinks of .automount unit files in .wants/ directories, set up
13 automount points even when the original .automount file did not exist
14 anymore. Only the .mount unit was still around.
16 * make polkit checks async
18 * properly handle .mount unit state tracking when two mount points are stacked one on top of another on the exact same mount point.
20 * ellipsize_mem must take into account multi-byte unicode characters, and
21 - make the resulting line the requested number of *characters*, not *bytes*,
22 - avoid truncuating multi-byte sequences in the middle.
24 * When we detect invalid UTF-8, we cant't use it in an error message:
25 log...("Path is not UTF-8 clean, ignoring assignment: %s", rvalue);
27 * shorten the message to sane length:
29 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.
33 * external: ps should gain colums for slice and machine
36 - localectl: support new converted x11→console keymaps
38 * when installing fedora with yum --installroot /var/run is a directory, not a symlink
39 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=975864
41 CGroup Rework Completion:
43 * introduce "mainpid" for scopes (or maybe not?)
45 * implement system-wide DefaultCPUAccounting=1 switch (and similar for blockio, memory?)
47 * implement per-slice CPUFairScheduling=1 switch
49 * handle jointly mounted controllers correctly
51 * introduce high-level settings for RT budget, swappiness
53 * wiki: guidelines how to make use of new cgroup apis
57 * we probably should replace the left-over uses of strv_append() and replace them by strv_push() or strv_extend()
59 * move config_parse_path_strv() out of conf-parser.c
61 * libdsystemd-bus should expose utf8 validation calls
63 * After coming back from hibernation reset hibernation swap partition
65 * If we try to find a unit via a dangling symlink generate a clean
66 error. Currently we just ignore it and read the unit from the search
69 * When a Type=forking service fails and needed another service that
70 service is not cleaned up again when it has StopWhenUnneeded=yes
71 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2013-July/012141.html
73 * backlight: properly handle multiple backlight devices for the same
74 hardware: at shutdown we should only save the backlight setting for
75 the "best" way to access the backlight. Strategy should be: at
76 shutdown, ignore all backlights that are connected to a non-eDP or
77 non-LVDS port, and then prefer the firmware device over platform
78 device over raw device per-PCI card. Delete all old data. At boot
79 simply apply whatever data we find. Also see
80 http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libbacklight/tree/libbacklight.c#n194
82 * rfkill: save/restore soft rfkill status across reboots
84 * refuse boot if /etc/os-release is missing or /etc/machine-id cannot be set up
86 * ensure scope units may be started only a single time
88 * document that in instead of FsckPassNo= people should just add a manual dep to systemd-fsck@.service to their mount units.
90 * better error message if you run systemctl without systemd running
92 * systemctl status output should should include list of triggering units and their status
94 * for transient units, instead of writing out drop-ins for all properties consider serializing them in the normal serialization stream
96 * logind: when logging out, remove user-owned sysv and posix IPC objects
98 * session scopes/user unit: add RequiresMountsFor for the home directory of the user
100 * add a man page containing packaging guidelines and recommending usage of things like Documentation=, PrivateTmp=, PrivateNetwork= and ReadOnlyDirectories=/etc /usr.
102 * journalctl: instead --after-cursor= maybe have a --cursor=XYZ+1 syntax?
104 * given that logind/machined now let PID 1 do all nasty work we can
105 probably reduce the capability set they retain substantially.
107 * btrfs raid assembly: some .device jobs stay stuck in the queue
109 * Fedora: add an rpmlint check that verifies that all unit files in the RPM are listed in %systemd_post macros.
111 * Fedora: post FPC ticket to move add %tmpfiles_create to the packaging guidelines
113 * make sure gdm doesn't use multi-user-x but the new default X configuration file, and then remove multi-user-x from systemd
115 * 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
117 * when a kernel driver logs in a tight loop we should ratelimit that too.
119 * "systemctl disable" of a unit instance removes all symlinks, should
120 only remove the instance symlink (systemctl disable of a template
121 unit however should remove them all).
123 * journald: optionally, log debug messages to /run but everything else to /var
125 * systemctl list-unit-files should list generated files (and probably with a new state "generated" for them, or so)
127 * journald: when we drop syslog messages because the syslog socket is
128 full, make sure to write how many messages are lost as first thing
129 to syslog when it works again.
131 * man: the documentation of Restart= currently is very misleading and suggests the tools from ExecStartPre= might get restarted.
133 * load .d/*.conf dropins for device units
135 * add a fixed dbus path for "my own unit", "my own session", ... to PID1, logind, ...
137 * service_coldplug() appears to reinstall the wrong stop timeout watch?
139 * transient units: allow creating auxiliary units with the same call
141 * how to reset dynamically changed attributes sanely?
143 * when reloading configuration, apply new cgroup configuration
145 * journald: make sure ratelimit is actually really per-service with the new cgroup changes
147 * gparted needs to disable auto-activation of mount units somehow, or
148 maybe we should stop doing auto-activation of this after boot
149 entirely. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=701676
150 Maybe take a BSD lock at the disk device node and teach udev to
151 check for that and suppress event handling.
153 * when recursively showing the cgroup hierarchy, optionally also show
154 the hierarchies of child processes
156 * document logic of auto/noauto and fail/nofail in fstab in systemd.mount or systemd-fstab-generator man page
158 * we should properly escape ssh hostnames we add into dbus server strings
160 * something pulls in pcre as so dep into our daemons such as hostnamed.
162 * document systemd-journal-flush.service properly
164 * change systemd-journal-flush into a service that stays around during
165 boot, and causes the journal to be moved back to /run on shutdown,
166 so that we don't keep /var busy. This needs to happen synchronously,
167 hence doing this via signals is not going to work.
169 * allow implementation of InaccessibleDirectories=/ plus
170 ReadOnlyDirectories=... for whitelisting files for a service.
173 - default policy (allow uid == 0 and our own uid)
174 - enforce alignment of pointers passed in
175 - when kdbus doesn't take our message without memfds, try again with memfds
176 - implement translator service
177 - port systemd to new library
178 - implement busname unit type in systemd
180 - merge busctl into systemctl or so?
181 - synthesize sd_bus_message objects from kernel messages
182 - properly implement name registry ioctls for kdbus
183 - get rid of object hash table, use decision tree everyhwere instead?
184 - implement monitor logic
185 - object vtable logic
188 * priority inheritance
190 * in the final killing spree, detect processes from the root directory, and
191 complain loudly if they have argv[0][0] == '@' set.
192 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=961044
194 * add an option to nspawn that uses seccomp to make socket(AF_NETLINK,
195 SOCK_RAW, NETLINK_AUDIT) fail the the appropriate error code that
196 makes the audit userspace to think auditing is not available in the
199 * Introduce a way how we can kill the main process of a service with KillSignal, but all processes with SIGKILL later on
200 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=952634
202 * maybe add a warning to the unit file parses where the access mode of unit files is nonsensical.
204 * investigate endianness issues of UUID vs. GUID
206 * dbus: when a unit failed to load (i.e. is in UNIT_ERROR state), we
207 should be able to safely try another attempt when the bus call LoadUnit() is invoked.
209 * if pam_systemd is invoked by su from a process that is outside of a
210 any session we should probably just become a NOP, since that's
211 usually not a real user session but just some system code that just
214 * add a pam module that passes the hdd passphrase into the PAM stack and then expires it, for usage by gdm auto-login.
216 * add a pam module that on password changes updates any LUKS slot where the password matches
218 * maybe add a generator that looks for "systemd.run=" on the kernel cmdline for container usercases...
220 * timedatctl, localectl: possibly make some commands work without the daemon, for chroot situations...
222 * logind: add Suspend() bus calls which take timestamps to fix double suspend issues when somebody hits suspend and closes laptop quickly.
224 * cgtop: make cgtop useful in a container
227 - add 'set -e' to scripts in test/
228 - make stuff in test/ work with separate output dir
229 - remove all the duplicated code in test/
231 * systemctl delete x.snapshot leaves no trace in logs (at least at default level).
233 * make the coredump collector tool move itself into the user's cgroup
234 so that the coredump is properly written to the user's own journal
237 * seems that when we follow symlinks to units we prefer the symlink
238 destination path over /etc and /usr. We shouldn't do that. Instead
239 /etc should always override /run+/usr and also any symlink
242 * when isolating, try to figure out a way how we implicitly can order
243 all units we stop before the isolating unit...
245 * add ConditionArchitecture= or so
247 * teach ConditionKernelCommandLine= globs or regexes (in order to match foobar={no,0,off})
249 * Support SO_REUSEPORT with socket activation:
250 - Let systemd maintain a pool of servers.
251 - Use for seamless upgrades, by running the new server before stopping the
254 * after all byte-wise realloc() is slow, even on glibc, so i guess we
255 need manual exponential loops after all
257 * BootLoaderSpec: drop allowing ext234 for $BOOT. Clarify that the
258 kernel has to be in $BOOT. Clarify that the boot loader should be
259 installed to the ESP. Define a way how an installer can figure out
260 whether a BLS compliant boot loader is installed.
262 * man: remove .include documentation, and instead push people to use .d/*.conf
264 * think about requeuing jobs when daemon-reload is issued? usecase:
265 the initrd issues a reload after fstab from the host is accessible
266 and we might want to requeue the mounts local-fs acquired through
269 * rework specifier logic so that we can distinguish OOM errors from other errors
271 * systemd-inhibit: make taking delay locks useful: support sending SIGINT or SIGTERM on PrepareForSleep()
273 * journal-or-kmsg is currently broken? See reverted commit 4a01181e460686d8b4a543b1dfa7f77c9e3c5ab8.
275 * remove any syslog support from log.c -- we probably can't do this before split-off udev is gone for good
277 * documentation: recommend to connect the timer units of a service to the service via Also= in [Install]
279 * add a tool that lists active timer units plus their next elapse and the time the units ran last
281 * man: document the very specific env the shutdown drop-in tools live in
283 * shutdown logging: store to EFI var, and store to USB stick?
285 * man: extend runlevel(8) to mention that runlevels suck, and are dead. Maybe add runlevel(7) with a note about that too
287 * systemctl: maybe add "systemctl add-wants" or so...
289 * man: add more examples to man pages
291 * man: maybe sort directives in man pages, and take sections from --help and apply them to man too
293 * write UI tool that pops up emergency messages from the journal as notification
295 * think about window-manager-run-as-user-service problem: exit 0 → activate shutdown.target; exit != 0 → restart service
297 * msgcatalog determine default language of entries from the catalog
298 file name. i.e. foobar.de_DE.catalog would set the default entry
299 name for the entries to de_DE if they aren't explicitly suffixed
302 * use "log level" rather than "log priority" everywhere
304 * timedate: have global on/off switches for auto-time (NTP), and auto-timezone that connman can subscribe to.
306 * dev-setup.c: when running in a container, create a tiny stub udev
307 database with the systemd tag set for all network interfaces found,
308 so that libudev reports them as present, and systemd's .device units
311 * merge unit_kill_common() and unit_kill_context()
313 * introduce ExecCondition= in services
316 - fsck hookup for the ESP mount is missing
317 - write man page for efi boot generator
318 - honor language efi variables for default language selection (if there are any?)
319 - honor timezone efi variables for default timezone selection (if there are any?)
320 - change bootctl to be backed by systemd-bootd to control temporary and persistent default boot goal plus efi variables
322 * maybe do not install getty@tty1.service symlink in /etc but in /usr?
324 * re-enable "make check" for gtk-doc (broken for unknown reason)
326 * fstab: add new mount option x-systemd-after=/foobar/waldo to allow manual dependencies to other mount points
327 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=812826
329 * print a nicer explanation if people use variable/specifier expansion in ExecStart= for the first word
331 * mount: turn dependency information from /proc/self/mountinfo into dependency information between systemd units.
334 - logind: optionally, ignore idle-hint logic for autosuspend, block suspend as long as a session is around
335 - When we update the kernel all kind of hibernation should be prohibited until shutdown/reboot
336 - logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
337 - Add pretty name for seats in logind
338 - logind: allow showing logout dialog from system?
339 - logind: non-local X11 server handling
340 - logind: add equivalent to sd_pid_get_owner_uid() to the D-Bus API
341 - pam: when leaving a session explicitly exclude the ReleaseSession() caller process from the killing spree
342 - logind: GetSessionByPID() should accept 0 as PID value
343 - we should probably handle SIGTERM/SIGINT to not leave dot files around, just in case
345 * exec: when deinitializating a tty device fix the perms and group, too, not only when initializing. Set access mode/gid to 0620/tty.
347 * service: watchdog logic: for testing purposes allow ping, but do not require pong
350 - do not use magic msync() in src/journal/journal-file.c, just call fsync()
351 <alxchk> poettering: looks like msync just calls vfs_fsync
352 http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/mm/msync.c#n18
353 - import and delete pstore filesystem content at startup
354 - journald: also get thread ID from client, plus thread name
355 - journal: when waiting for journal additions in the client always sleep at least 1s or so, in order to minimize wakeups
356 - add API to close/reopen/get fd for journal client fd in libsystemd-journal.
357 - fallback to /dev/log based logging in libsystemd-journal, if we can't log natively?
358 - declare the local journal protocol stable in the wiki interface chart
359 - journal: reuse XZ context
360 - sd-journal: speed up sd_journal_get_data() with transparent hash table in bg
361 - journald: when dropping msgs due to ratelimit make sure to write
362 "dropped %u messages" not only when we are about to print the next
363 message that works, but alraedy after a short tiemout
364 - check if we can make journalctl by default use --follow mode inside of less if called without args?
365 - maybe add API to send pairs of iovecs via sd_journal_send
366 - journal: when writing journal auto-rotate if time jumps backwards
367 - journal: add a setgid "systemd-journal" utility to invoke from libsystemd-journal, which passes fds via STDOUT and does PK access
368 - journactl: support negative filtering, i.e. FOOBAR!="waldo",
369 and !FOOBAR for events without FOOBAR.
370 - journal: when rotating, copy over old acls/access mode
371 - journal: send out marker messages every now and then, and immediately sync with fdatasync() afterwards, in order to have hourly guaranteed syncs.
372 - 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.
373 - journal: find a way to allow dropping history early, based on priority, other rules
374 - journal: When used on NFS, check payload hashes
375 - journald: check whether it is OK if the client can still modify delivered journal entries
376 - journal live copy, based on libneon (client) and libmicrohttpd (server)
377 - journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
378 - refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
379 - journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
380 - journal: deal nicely with byte-by-byte copied files, especially regards header
381 - journalctl: expand tabs
382 - journal: store euid in journal if it differs from uid
383 - journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the components would fit
384 - Replace utmp, wtmp, btmp, and lastlog completely with journal
385 - Port upower to use the journal for historical power information used in future calculations
388 - document unit_name_mangle()
389 - document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fileds in
390 [Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
391 - man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
392 - Document word splitting syntax for ExecStart= and friends
393 - document that units from /etc override those from /usr and /run
394 - document the exit codes when services fail before they are exec()ed
395 - document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
396 - document in wiki how to map ical recurrence events to systemd timer unit calendar specifications
399 - systemctl list-jobs - show dependencies
400 - add systemctl switch to dump transaction without executing it
401 - Add a verbose mode to "systemctl start" and friends that explains what is being done or not done
402 - "systemctl disable" on a static unit prints no message and does
403 nothing. "systemctl enable" does nothing, and gives a bad message
404 about it. Should fix both to print nice actionable messages.
405 - print nice message from systemctl --failed if there are no entries shown, and hook that into ExecStartPre of rescue.service/emergency.service
406 - add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
407 - systemctl enable: improve the success messages (i.e. more human readable, less shell-like)
408 - systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into doesn't exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
409 - systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
410 - support "systemctl stop foobar@.service" to stop all units matching a certain template
411 - Something is wrong with symlink handling of "autovt@.service" in "systemctl list-unit-files"
413 * introduce ntp.service (or suchlike) as symlink that is used to arbitrate between various NTP implementations
415 * deal with sendmail/postfix exclusivity
418 - configurable jitter for timer events
419 - timer events with system resume
420 - timer units should get the ability to trigger when:
421 o CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (TFD_TIMER_CANCEL_ON_SET)
423 - Support 2012-02~4 as syntax for specifying the fourth to last day of the month.
425 * update the kernel's TZ (sys_tz) when DST changes
427 * sync down the system time to the RTC when:
428 - CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (the user explicitely requested a time set)
429 - DST/timezone changes && ntp is active && RTC-in-localtime (never do it without ntp)
430 This takes care of syncing ntpdate updates to the RTC, and DST updates for localtime
431 mode, it will never touch the RTC if the no reliable time source is active or the
432 user did not request anything like it.
434 * if booted in "quiet" mode, and an error happens, turn on status
435 output again, so that the emergency mode isn't totally
436 surprising. Also, terminate plymouth.
438 * libunwind support for coredump pattern hook, and includes this in
439 the message for coredumps. After all, libunwind is now capable to
440 unwind coredumps since a few weeks ago. This probably requires that
441 we have nice support for multi-line messages on display in
442 logs-show.c. Alternatively: use libelfutil, which seems to be the
443 better supported alternative.
445 * figure out relation of --all and --full in the various tools
447 * add libsystemd-password or so to query passwords during boot using the password agent logic
449 * 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().
451 * fedup: add --unit to systemctl switch-root somehow
452 * fedup: don't delete initrd on switch-root
456 - timedated: refuse time changes when NTP is on
458 * clean up date formatting and parsing so that all absolute/relative timestamps we format can also be parsed
460 * introduce generic AUGMENT_PID=, AUGMENT_DEVICE= fields
462 * on shutdown: move utmp, wall, audit logic all into PID 1 (or logind?), get rid of systemd-update-utmp-runlevel
464 * add "provisioning" instructions to setup an empty /etc + /var
465 - used to setup a new container from a shared /usr
466 - superset of tmpfiles model
467 - instructions shipped by packages and stored in /usr/lib/
468 - compose /etc/passwd and /etc/group, copy files
469 - able to create uid + gid used by packages, for file ownership
471 * make repeated alt-ctrl-del presses printing a dump, or even force a reboot without
472 waiting for the timeout
474 * high level net_prio setting in execution context
476 * hostnamed: before returning information from /etc/machine-info.conf check the modification data and reread. Similar for localed, ...
478 * currently x-systemd.timeout is lost in the initrd, since crypttab is copied into dracut, but fstab isn't
480 * refuse boot if /etc/machine-id is not useful (or set taint?)
483 - nspawn: consider changing users for -u with su, so that NSS resolving works correctly
484 - nspawn: implement personality changes a la linux32(8)
485 - nspawn: --read-only is not applied recursively to submounts
486 - nspawn: make use of device cgroup controller by default
487 - bind mount read-only the cgroup tree higher than nspawn
488 - nspawn: investigate whether we can support the same as LXC's
489 lxc.network.type=phys mode, and pass through entire network
490 interfaces to the container
491 - nspawn: maybe add a way to drop additional caps, in addition to add additional caps
492 - nspawn: maybe explicitly reset loginuid?
493 - nspawn: make it work for dwalsh and shared /usr containers -- tmpfs mounts as command line parameters, selinux exec context
496 - cryptsetup-generator: allow specification of passwords in crypttab itself
497 - move cryptsetup key caching into kernel keyctl?
498 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54982
499 - support rd.luks.allow-discards= kernel cmdline params in cryptsetup generator
501 * move debug shell to tty6 and make sure this doesn't break the gettys on tty6
503 * hw watchdog: optionally try to use the preset watchdog timeout instead of always overriding it
504 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54712
506 * after deserializing sockets in socket.c we should reapply sockopts and things
508 * make timer units go away after they elapsed
510 * http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2012-September/006502.html
511 (network and remote-fs on shutdown)
513 * come up with a nice way to write queue/read_ahead_kb for a block device without interfering with readahead
515 * move PID 1 segfaults to /var/lib/systemd/coredump?
517 * create /sbin/init symlinks from the build system
519 * Query Paul Moore about relabelling socket fds while they are open
521 * allow writing multiple conditions in unit files on one line
523 * explore multiple service instances per listening socket idea
525 * shutdown: don't read-only mount anything when running in container
527 * MountFlags=shared acts as MountFlags=slave right now.
529 * ReadOnlyDirectories= is not applied recursively to submounts
531 * drop PID 1 reloading, only do reexecing (difficult: Reload()
532 currently is properly synchronous, Reexec() is weird, because we
533 can't delay the response properly until we are back, so instead of
534 being properly synchronous we just keep open the fd and close it
535 when done. That means clients don't get a successful method reply,
536 but much rather a disconnect on success.
538 * use opterr = 0 for all getopt tools
540 * properly handle loop back mounts via fstab, especially regards to fsck/passno
542 * allow services with no ExecStart= but with an ExecStop=
544 * dracut-shutdown needs to be ordered before unmounting /boot
546 * initialize the hostname from the fs label of /, if /etc/hostname does not exist?
548 * rename "userspace" to "core-os"
551 - syscall filter: add knowledge about compat syscalls
552 - syscall filter: don't enforce no new privs?
553 - syscall filter: option to return EPERM rather than SIGSYS?
554 - syscall filter: port to libseccomp
555 - system-wide seccomp filter
557 * .device aliases need to be implemented with the "following" logic, probably.
559 * load-fragment: when loading a unit file via a chain of symlinks
560 verify that it isn't masked via any of the names traversed.
562 * introduce Type=pid-file
564 * change Requires=basic.target to RequisiteOverride=basic.target
566 * when breaking cycles drop sysv services first, then services from /run, then from /etc, then from /usr
568 * move passno parsing to fstab generator
570 * automount: implement expire:
571 - set superblock timeout AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_TIMEOUT_CMD
572 - periodically run AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_EXPIRE_CMD
573 - every timeout/4 (original autofs logic)
574 - blocking, needs a thread
576 - receive expire packet on pipe if kernel tells the timeout is over
578 - answer expire packet on pipe with AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_{READY,FAIL}_CMD
579 - AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_EXPIRE_CMD returns
581 * services which create their own subcgroups break cgroup-empty notification (needs to be fixed in the kernel)
583 * ExecOnFailure=/usr/bin/foo
586 - remove src/udev/udev-builtin-firmware.c (CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER=n)
589 - add trigger --subsystem-match=usb/usb_device device
591 * cleanup syslog 'priority' vs. 'level' wording
593 * 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
595 * support container_ttys=
597 * introduce mix of BindTo and Requisite
599 * add DeleteSocketsOnStop=yes|no option to socket units
601 * There's currently no way to cancel fsck (used to be possible via C-c or c on the console)
603 * add option to sockets to avoid activation. Instead just drop packets/connections, see http://cyberelk.net/tim/2012/02/15/portreserve-systemd-solution/
605 * default unix qlen is too small (10). bump sysctl? add sockopt?
607 * save coredump in Windows/Mozilla minidump format
609 * support crash reporting operation modes (https://live.gnome.org/GnomeOS/Design/Whiteboards/ProblemReporting)
611 * default to actual 32bit PIDs, via /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max
613 * be able to specify a forced restart of service A where service B depends on, in case B
614 needs to be auto-respawned?
616 * when a bus name of a service disappears from the bus make sure to queue further activation requests
618 * tmpfiles: apply "x" on "D" too (see patch from William Douglas)
620 * for services: don't set $HOME in services unless requested
622 * hide PAM/TCPWrap options in fragment parser when compile time disabled
624 * when we automatically restart a service, ensure we restart its rdeps, too.
626 * allow Type=simple with PIDFile=
627 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=723942
629 * move PAM code into its own binary
631 * implement Register= switch in .socket units to enable registration
632 in Avahi, RPC and other socket registration services.
634 * make sure systemd-ask-password-wall does not shutdown systemd-ask-password-console too early
636 * support sd_notify() style notification when reload begins (RELOADING=1), reload is finished (READY=1), and add ReloadSignal= then to use in combination
638 * support sd_notify() style notification when shutting down, to make auto-exit bus services work (STOPPING=1)
640 * verify that the AF_UNIX sockets of a service in the fs still exist
641 when we start a service in order to avoid confusion when a user
642 assumes starting a service is enough to make it accessible
644 * support User= and Group= attributes for AF_UNIX sockets.
646 * Make it possible to set the keymap independently from the font on
647 the kernel cmdline. Right now setting one resets also the other.
649 * and a dbus call to generate target from current state
652 - drop /.readahead on bigger upgrades with yum
653 - move readahead files into /var (look for them with .path units?)
654 - readahead: use BTRFS_IOC_DEFRAG_RANGE instead of BTRFS_IOC_DEFRAG ioctl, with START_IO
655 - readahead: when bumping /sys readahead variable save mtime and compare later to detect changes
656 - readahead: make use of EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT, as used by http://e4rat.sourceforge.net/
658 * add support for /bin/mount -s
660 * GC unreferenced jobs (such as .device jobs)
662 * write blog stories about:
663 - hwdb: what belongs into it, lsusb
664 - enabling dbus services
666 - how to make changes to sysctl and sysfs attributes
668 - how to pass throw-away units to systemd, or dynamically change properties of existing units
669 - how to integrate cgconfig and suchlike with systemd
670 - testing with Harald's awesome test kit
672 - how to develop against journal browsing APIs
673 - the journal HTTP iface
674 - non-cgroup resource management
675 - dynamic resource management with cgroups
676 - refreshed, longer missions statement
677 - calendar time events
678 - init=/bin/sh vs. "emergency" mode, vs. "rescue" mode, vs. "multi-user" mode, vs. "graphical" mode, and the debug shell
679 - how to create your own target
680 - instantiated apache, dovecot and so on
681 - hooking a script into various stages of shutdown/rearly booot
683 * allow port=0 in .socket units
685 * support systemd.mask= on the kernel command line.
687 * recreate systemd's D-Bus private socket file on SIGUSR2
689 * Support --test based on current system state
691 * investigate whether the gnome pty helper should be moved into systemd, to provide cgroup support.
693 * maybe introduce ExecRestartPre=
695 * dot output for --test showing the 'initial transaction'
697 * port over to LISTEN_FDS/LISTEN_PID:
698 - rpcbind (/var/run/rpcbind.sock!) HAVEPATCH
702 - libvirtd (/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock-ro)
703 - bluetoothd (/var/run/sdp! @/org/bluez/audio!)
706 * fingerprint.target, wireless.target, gps.target, netdevice.target
708 * io priority during initialization
710 * drop cap bounding set in readahead and other services
713 - figure out a simple way to wait for journal events in a way that
715 - add documentation to systemd.daemon
718 - plot per-process IO utilization
719 - group processes based on service association (cgroups)
720 - document initcall_debug
721 - kernel cmdline "bootchart" option for simplicity?
723 * systemd-run is missing zsh completion scripts
729 - natively watch for dbus-*.service symlinks (PENDING)
730 - allow specification of socket mode/umask when allocating DBusServer
731 - allow disabling of fd passing when connecting a AF_UNIX connection
732 - allow disabling of UID passing for AUTH EXTERNAL
733 - always pass cred data along each message
734 - teach dbus to activate all services it finds in /etc/systemd/services/org-*.service
736 * fix alsa mixer restore to not print error when no config is stored
738 * make cryptsetup lower --iter-time
740 * patch kernel for xattr support in /dev, /proc/, /sys?
742 * NTP: the kernel's 11-minutes-mode syncs the system time to the RTC, but only
743 in an ~30 minutes window. It does not adjust larger differences. Find a way
744 to tell the kernel, to always do a full time sync when the RTC is in UTC and
745 we are in 11-minutes-mode. When we trust the system time to NTP we also want
748 * kernel: add device_type = "fb", "fbcon" to class "graphics"
750 * drop accountsservice's StandardOutput=syslog and Type=dbus fields
752 * dbus upstream still refers to dbus.target and shouldn't
754 * dbus: in fedora, make /var/lib/dbus/machine-id a symlink to /etc/machine-id
756 * add "# export SYSTEMD_PAGER=" to bash login
758 * /usr/bin/service should actually show the new command line
760 * 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=
762 * fedora: F20: go timer units all the way, leave cron.daily for cron
764 * neither pkexec nor sudo initialize environ[] from the PAM environment?
766 * fedora: update policy to declare access mode and ownership of unit files to root:root 0644, and add an rpmlint check for it
770 * look for close() vs. close_nointr() vs. close_nointr_nofail()
772 * check for strerror(r) instead of strerror(-r)
774 * Use PR_SET_PROCTITLE_AREA if it becomes available in the kernel
776 * %m in printf() instead of strerror(errno);
780 * set_put(), hashmap_put() return values check. i.e. == 0 doesn't free()!
782 * use secure_getenv() instead of getenv() where appropriate
784 * link up selected blog stories from man pages and unit files Documentation= fields
786 Scheduled for removal or fixing:
788 * xxxOverridable dependencies (probably: fix)
