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 * properly handle .mount unit state tracking when two mount points are stacked one on top of another on the exact same mount point.
11 * ExecStart with unicode characters fails in strv_split_quoted:
14 Environment=ONE='one' "TWO='two two' too" THREE=
15 ExecStart=/bin/python3 -c 'import sys;print(sys.argv)' $ONE $TWO $THREE
17 * MEMORY return code is overloaded for syntax errors in the commandline.
18 str_split_quoted() should return a real return code, so spawn_child can
19 report the failure properly.
21 * udev_set_log_priority should verify the value before saving it.
25 * Fedora: add an rpmlint check that verifies that all unit files in the RPM are listed in %systemd_post macros.
27 * Fedora: post FPC ticket to move add %tmpfiles_create to the packaging guidelines
29 * Fedora: move kernel image to /usr/lib/modules/, kernel-install will take care of populating /boot
31 * Fedora: remove /etc/resolv.conf tmpfiles hack
33 * wiki: update journal format documentation for lz4 additions
35 * When lz4 gets an API for lz4 command output, make use of it to
36 compress coredumps in a way compatible with /usr/bin/lz4.
40 * optionally support running journald from the command line for testing purposes in external projects
42 * journald: allow per-priority and per-service retention times when rotating/vacuuming
44 * introduce systemd-timesync-wait.service or so to sync on an NTP fix?
46 * systemd --user should issue sd_notify() upon reaching basic.target, not on becoming idle
48 * configure.ac pretends dbus was optional but actually hardcodes use of dbus' pkg-config file to determine various dbus dirs such as policy and activation dirs
50 * consider showing the unit names during boot up in the status output, not just the unit descriptions
52 * dhcp: do we allow configuring dhcp routes on interfaces that are not the one we got the dhcp info from?
54 * maybe allow timer units with an empty Units= setting, so that they
55 can be used for resuming the system but nothing else.
57 * what to do about udev db binary stability for apps?
59 * maybe provide an API to allow migration of foreign PIDs into existing scopes.
61 * kdbus: maybe rename "connection name" concept to something that doesn't reuse the word "name"?
63 * PID 1 doesn't apply nspawns devices cgroup policy
65 * maybe support a new very "soft" reboot mode, that simply kills all processes, disassembles everything, flushes /run and sysvipc, and then reexecs systemd again
67 * man: document that corrupted journal files is nothing to act on
69 * bus-proxy: when passing messages from kdbus, make sure we properly
70 handle the case where a large number of fds is appended that we
71 cannot pass into sendmsg() of the AF_UNIX sokcet (which only accepts
74 * man: maybe use the word "inspect" rather than "introspect"?
76 * introduce machines.target to order after all nspawn instances
78 * systemd-nspawn@.service should fail if some nspawn arg is invalid, with Type=notify
80 * "machinectl list" should probably show columns for OS version and IP addresses
82 * systemctl: if it fails, show log output?
84 * maybe add "systemctl edit" that copies unit files from /usr/lib/systemd/system to /etc/systemd/system and invokes vim on them
86 * maybe introduce AssertXYZ= similar to ConditionXYZ= that causes a unit to fail (instead of skipping it) if some condition is not true...
88 * refcounting in sd-resolve is borked
90 * exponential backoff in timesyncd and resolved when we cannot reach a server
92 * journald: make use of uid-range.h to managed uid ranges to split
95 * tmpfiles: port to unquote_many_words(), similar to sysusers
97 * unquote_many_words() should probably be used by a lot of code that
98 currently uses FOREACH_WORD and friends. For example, most conf
99 parsing callbacks should use it.
101 * logind: make the Suspend()/Hibernate() bus calls wait for the for
102 the job to be completed. before returning, so that clients can wait
103 for "systemctl suspend" to finish to know when the suspending is
106 * merge ~/.local/share and ~/.local/lib into one similar /usr/lib and /usr/share....
108 * journald: allows specification of UID range for splitting up journal files
110 * systemd.show_status= should probably have a mode where only failed
114 - add LLDP client side support
115 - the DHCP lease data (such as NTP/DNS) is still made available when
116 a carrier is lost on a link. It should be removed instantly.
117 - .network setting that allows overriding of the hostname to send to the dhcp server
118 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-July/021550.html
119 - expose in the API the following bits:
120 - option 15, domain name and/or option 119, search list
121 - option 12, host name and/or option 81, fqdn
122 - option 100, 101, timezone
123 - option 123, 144, geolocation
124 - option 252, configure http proxy (PAC/wpad)
125 - networkd's dhcp server should transparently pass on the DNS and
126 NTP server list it got from user configuration and its dhcp client
127 to clients. It should also pass on its own timezone information.
128 - provide a way to define a per-network interface default metric value
129 for all routes to it. possibly a second default for DHCP routes.
130 - allow Name= to be specified repeatedly in the [Match] section. Maybe also
131 support Name=foo*|bar*|baz ?
134 - put networkd events and rtnl events at a higher priority, so that
135 we always process them before we process client requests
137 - use base64 for key presentation?
138 - add display of private key types (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4034#appendix-A.1.1)?
139 - add nice formatting of DNS timestamps
144 - DNS-SD service registration from socket units
149 * Ignore .busname units on classic D-Bus boots, systemd-resolved cannot be started on kdbus
150 without the active policy and should get a Wants=org.freedesktop.resolve1.busname to
153 * Allow multiple ExecStart= for all Type= settings, so that we can cover rescue.service nicely
155 * Add a new verb "systemctl top"
157 * logind: allow users to kill or lock their own sessions
159 * add new gpt type for btrfs volumes
161 * support empty /etc boots nicely:
162 - nspawn/gpt-generator: introduce new gpt partition type for /usr
163 - fstab-generator: support systemd.volatile=yes|no|state on the kernel cmdline, too, similar to nspawn's --volatile=
164 - fstab-generator: add support for usr= in addition to root= on the kernel cmdline
166 * generator that automatically discovers btrfs subvolumes, identifies their purpose based on some xattr on them.
168 * support setting empty environment variables with Environment= and EnvironmentFile=
170 * timer units: actually add extra delays to timer units with high AccuracySec values, don't start them already when we are awake...
172 * a way for container managers to turn off getty starting via $container_headless= or so...
174 * figure out a nice way how we can let the admin know what child/sibling unit causes cgroup membership for a specific unit
176 * journalctl: add the ability to look for the most recent process of a binary. journalctl /usr/bin/X11 --pid=-1 or so...
178 * mount_cgroup_controllers(): symlinks need to get the label applied
180 * For timer units: add some mechanisms so that timer units that trigger immediately on boot do not have the services
181 they run added to the initial transaction and thus confuse Type=idle.
183 * 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)
185 * sd-event: generate a failure of a default event loop is executed out-of-thread
187 * expose "Locked" property on logind sesison objects
189 * add bus api to query unit file's X fields.
191 * consider adding RuntimeDirectoryUser= + RuntimeDirectoryGroup=
193 * sd-event: define more intervals where we will shift wakeup intervals around in, 1h, 6h, 24h, ...
195 * gpt-auto-generator:
196 - Support LUKS for root devices
197 - Define new partition type for encrypted swap? Support probed LUKS for encrypted swap?
198 - Make /home automount rather than mount?
200 * improve journalctl performance by loading journal files
201 lazily. Encode just enough information in the file name, so that we
202 do not have to open it to know that it is not interesting for us, for
203 the most common operations.
205 * add generator that pulls in systemd-network from containers when
206 CAP_NET_ADMIN is set, more than the loopback device is defined, even
207 when it is otherwise off
209 * MessageQueueMessageSize= and RLimitFSIZE= (and suchlike) should use parse_iec_size().
211 * "busctl status" works only as root on dbus1, since we cannot read
214 * implement Distribute= in socket units to allow running multiple
215 service instances processing the listening socket, and open this up
218 * socket units: support creating sockets in different namespace,
219 opening it up for JoinsNamespaceOf=. This would require to fork off
220 a tiny process that joins the namespace and creates/binds the socket
221 and passes this back to PID1 via SCM_RIGHTS. This also could be used
222 to allow Chown/chgrp on sockets without requiring NSS in PID 1.
224 * New service property: maximum CPU and wallclock runtime for a service
226 * introduce bus call FreezeUnit(s, b), as well as "systemctl freeze
227 $UNIT" and "systemctl thaw $UNIT" as wrappers around this. The calls
228 should SIGSTOP all unit processes in a loop until all processes of
229 it are fully stopped. This can later be used for app management by
230 desktop UIs such as gnome-shell to freeze apps that are not visible
231 on screen, not unlike how job control works on the shell
234 - manager property enumeration was broken when systemd moved to /usr/lib/
237 - implement per-slice CPUFairScheduling=1 switch
238 - handle jointly mounted controllers correctly
239 - introduce high-level settings for RT budget, swappiness
240 - how to reset dynamically changed unit cgroup attributes sanely?
241 - when reloading configuration, apply new cgroup configuration
242 - when recursively showing the cgroup hierarchy, optionally also show
243 the hierarchies of child processes
246 - allow creating auxiliary units with the same call
247 - add field to transient units that indicate whether systemd or somebody else saves/restores its settings, for integration with libvirt
248 - ensure scope units may be started only a single time
250 * Automatically configure swap partition to use for hibernation by looking for largest swap partition on the root disk?
252 * when we detect low battery and no AC on boot, show pretty splash and refuse boot
254 * machined, localed: when we try to kill an empty cgroup, generate an ESRCH error over the bus
256 * libsystemd-journal, libsystemd-login, libudev: add calls to easily attach these objects to sd-event event loops
258 * be more careful what we export on the bus as (usec_t) 0 and (usec_t) -1
260 * unify dispatch table in systemctl_main() and friends
262 * 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
264 * After coming back from hibernation reset hibernation swap partition using the /dev/snapshot ioctl APIs
266 * If we try to find a unit via a dangling symlink, generate a clean
267 error. Currently, we just ignore it and read the unit from the search
270 * refuse boot if /etc/os-release is missing or /etc/machine-id cannot be set up
272 * given that logind now lets PID 1 do all nasty work, we can
273 probably reduce the capability set it retains substantially.
274 (we need CAP_SYS_ADMIN for drmSetMaster(), so maybe not worth it)
276 * btrfs raid assembly: some .device jobs stay stuck in the queue
278 * make sure gdm does not use multi-user-x but the new default X configuration file, and then remove multi-user-x from systemd
280 * man: the documentation of Restart= currently is very misleading and suggests the tools from ExecStartPre= might get restarted.
282 * load .d/*.conf dropins for device units
284 * allow implementation of InaccessibleDirectories=/ plus
285 ReadOnlyDirectories=... for whitelisting files for a service.
288 - when kdbus does not take our message without memfds, try again with memfds
289 - systemd-bus-proxyd needs to enforce good old XML policy
290 - allow updating attach flags during runtime
291 - pid1: peek into activating message when activating a service
292 - introduce sd_bus_emit_object_added()/sd_bus_emit_object_removed() that automatically includes the build-in interfaces in the list
293 - port to sd-resolve for connecting to TCP dbus servers
294 - see if we can drop more message validation on the sending side
295 - add API to clone sd_bus_message objects
296 - make AddMatch calls on dbus1 transports async?
297 - kdbus: matches against source or destination pids for an "strace -p"-like feel. Problem: The PID info needs to be available in userspace too...
298 - longer term: priority inheritance
301 - NameLost/NameAcquired obsolete
304 - update systemd.special(7) to mention that dbus.socket is only about the compatibility socket now
305 - test bloom filter generation indexes
308 - allow multiple signal handlers per signal?
309 - document chaining of signal handler for SIGCHLD and child handlers
311 * in the final killing spree, detect processes from the root directory, and
312 complain loudly if they have argv[0][0] == '@' set.
313 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=961044
315 * investigate endianness issues of UUID vs. GUID
317 * dbus: when a unit failed to load (i.e. is in UNIT_ERROR state), we
318 should be able to safely try another attempt when the bus call LoadUnit() is invoked.
320 * add a pam module that passes the hdd passphrase into the PAM stack and then expires it, for usage by gdm auto-login.
322 * add a pam module that on password changes updates any LUKS slot where the password matches
324 * maybe add a generator that looks for "systemd.run=" on the kernel cmdline for container usercases...
326 * timedatectl: print a nicer message when enabling ntp fails because ntpd/chrony are not installed
328 * cgtop: make cgtop useful in a container
331 - add 'set -e' to scripts in test/
332 - make stuff in test/ work with separate output dir
334 * seems that when we follow symlinks to units we prefer the symlink
335 destination path over /etc and /usr. We should not do that. Instead
336 /etc should always override /run+/usr and also any symlink
339 * when isolating, try to figure out a way how we implicitly can order
340 all units we stop before the isolating unit...
342 * teach ConditionKernelCommandLine= globs or regexes (in order to match foobar={no,0,off})
344 * after all byte-wise realloc() is slow, even on glibc, so i guess we
345 need manual exponential loops after all
347 * BootLoaderSpec: Clarify that the kernel has to be in $BOOT. Clarify
348 that the boot loader should be installed to the ESP. Define a way
349 how an installer can figure out whether a BLS compliant boot loader
352 * think about requeuing jobs when daemon-reload is issued? usecase:
353 the initrd issues a reload after fstab from the host is accessible
354 and we might want to requeue the mounts local-fs acquired through
357 * systemd-inhibit: make taking delay locks useful: support sending SIGINT or SIGTERM on PrepareForSleep()
359 * journal-or-kmsg is currently broken? See reverted commit 4a01181e460686d8b4a543b1dfa7f77c9e3c5ab8.
361 * remove any syslog support from log.c -- we probably cannot do this before split-off udev is gone for good
363 * shutdown logging: store to EFI var, and store to USB stick?
365 * write UI tool that pops up emergency messages from the journal as notification
367 * think about window-manager-run-as-user-service problem: exit 0 → activate shutdown.target; exit != 0 → restart service
369 * merge unit_kill_common() and unit_kill_context()
371 * introduce ExecCondition= in services
374 - honor language efi variables for default language selection (if there are any?)
375 - honor timezone efi variables for default timezone selection (if there are any?)
376 - change bootctl to be backed by systemd-bootd to control temporary and persistent default boot goal plus efi variables
378 * maybe do not install getty@tty1.service symlink in /etc but in /usr?
380 * re-enable "make check" for gtk-doc (broken for unknown reason)
382 * fstab: add new mount option x-systemd-after=/foobar/waldo to allow manual dependencies to other mount points
383 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=812826
385 * print a nicer explanation if people use variable/specifier expansion in ExecStart= for the first word
387 * mount: turn dependency information from /proc/self/mountinfo into dependency information between systemd units.
390 - logind: optionally, ignore idle-hint logic for autosuspend, block suspend as long as a session is around
391 - When we update the kernel all kind of hibernation should be prohibited until shutdown/reboot
392 - logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
393 - Add pretty name for seats in logind
394 - logind: allow showing logout dialog from system?
395 - we should probably handle SIGTERM/SIGINT to not leave dot files around, just in case
396 - session scopes/user unit: add RequiresMountsFor for the home directory of the user
397 - add Suspend() bus calls which take timestamps to fix double suspend issues when somebody hits suspend and closes laptop quickly.
398 - if pam_systemd is invoked by su from a process that is outside of a
399 any session we should probably just become a NOP, since that's
400 usually not a real user session but just some system code that just
403 * exec: when deinitializating a tty device fix the perms and group, too, not only when initializing. Set access mode/gid to 0620/tty.
405 * service: watchdog logic: for testing purposes allow ping, but do not require pong
408 - import and delete pstore filesystem content at startup
409 - journald: also get thread ID from client, plus thread name
410 - journal: when waiting for journal additions in the client always sleep at least 1s or so, in order to minimize wakeups
411 - add API to close/reopen/get fd for journal client fd in libsystemd-journal.
412 - fallback to /dev/log based logging in libsystemd-journal, if we cannot log natively?
413 - declare the local journal protocol stable in the wiki interface chart
414 - journal: reuse XZ context
415 - sd-journal: speed up sd_journal_get_data() with transparent hash table in bg
416 - journald: when dropping msgs due to ratelimit make sure to write
417 "dropped %u messages" not only when we are about to print the next
418 message that works, but alraedy after a short tiemout
419 - check if we can make journalctl by default use --follow mode inside of less if called without args?
420 - maybe add API to send pairs of iovecs via sd_journal_send
421 - journal: when writing journal auto-rotate if time jumps backwards
422 - journal: add a setgid "systemd-journal" utility to invoke from libsystemd-journal, which passes fds via STDOUT and does PK access
423 - journactl: support negative filtering, i.e. FOOBAR!="waldo",
424 and !FOOBAR for events without FOOBAR.
425 - journal: send out marker messages every now and then, and immediately sync with fdatasync() afterwards, in order to have hourly guaranteed syncs.
426 - 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.
427 - journal: find a way to allow dropping history early, based on priority, other rules
428 - journal: When used on NFS, check payload hashes
429 - journald: check whether it is OK if the client can still modify delivered journal entries
430 - journal live copy, based on libneon (client) and libmicrohttpd (server)
431 - journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
432 - refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
433 - journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
434 - journal: deal nicely with byte-by-byte copied files, especially regards header
435 - journal: store euid in journal if it differs from uid
436 - journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the components would fit
437 - Replace utmp, wtmp, btmp, and lastlog completely with journal
438 - journalctl: instead --after-cursor= maybe have a --cursor=XYZ+1 syntax?
439 - tmpfiles: when applying ownership to /run/log/journal, also do this for the journal fails contained in it
440 - when a kernel driver logs in a tight loop, we should ratelimit that too.
441 - journald: optionally, log debug messages to /run but everything else to /var
442 - journald: when we drop syslog messages because the syslog socket is
443 full, make sure to write how many messages are lost as first thing
444 to syslog when it works again.
445 - journald: make sure ratelimit is actually really per-service with the new cgroup changes
446 - change systemd-journal-flush into a service that stays around during
447 boot, and causes the journal to be moved back to /run on shutdown,
448 so that we do not keep /var busy. This needs to happen synchronously,
449 hence doing this via signals is not going to work.
452 - document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fields in
453 [Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
454 - man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
455 - document the exit codes when services fail before they are exec()ed
456 - document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
457 - document in wiki how to map ical recurrence events to systemd timer unit calendar specifications
458 - add a man page containing packaging guidelines and recommending usage of things like Documentation=, PrivateTmp=, PrivateNetwork= and ReadOnlyDirectories=/etc /usr.
459 - document systemd-journal-flush.service properly
460 - documentation: recommend to connect the timer units of a service to the service via Also= in [Install]
461 - man: document the very specific env the shutdown drop-in tools live in
462 - man: extend runlevel(8) to mention that runlevels suck, and are dead. Maybe add runlevel(7) with a note about that too
463 - man: add more examples to man pages
464 - man: maybe sort directives in man pages, and take sections from --help and apply them to man too
467 - systemctl list-jobs - show dependencies
468 - add systemctl switch to dump transaction without executing it
469 - Add a verbose mode to "systemctl start" and friends that explains what is being done or not done
470 - "systemctl disable" on a static unit prints no message and does
471 nothing. "systemctl enable" does nothing, and gives a bad message
472 about it. Should fix both to print nice actionable messages.
473 - print nice message from systemctl --failed if there are no entries shown, and hook that into ExecStartPre of rescue.service/emergency.service
474 - add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
475 - systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into does not exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
476 - systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
477 - support "systemctl stop foobar@.service" to stop all units matching a certain template
478 - Something is wrong with symlink handling of "autovt@.service" in "systemctl list-unit-files"
479 - better error message if you run systemctl without systemd running
480 - systemctl status output should should include list of triggering units and their status
483 - "systemctl mask" should find all names by which a unit is accessible
484 (i.e. by scanning for symlinks to it) and link them all to /dev/null
485 - systemctl list-unit-files should list generated files (and probably with a new state "generated" for them, or so)
488 - timer units should get the ability to trigger when:
489 o CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (TFD_TIMER_CANCEL_ON_SET)
491 - Support 2012-02~4 as syntax for specifying the fourth to last day of the month.
492 - calendarspec: support value ranges with ".." notation. Example: 2013-4..8-1
493 - 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
494 - Modulate timer frequency based on battery state
496 * update the kernel's TZ (sys_tz) when DST changes
498 * sync down the system time to the RTC when:
499 - CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (the user explicitely requested a time set)
500 - DST/timezone changes && ntp is active && RTC-in-localtime (never do it without ntp)
501 This takes care of syncing ntpdate updates to the RTC, and DST updates for localtime
502 mode, it will never touch the RTC if the no reliable time source is active or the
503 user did not request anything like it.
505 * add libsystemd-password or so to query passwords during boot using the password agent logic
507 * 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().
509 * fedup: add --unit to systemctl switch-root somehow
510 * fedup: do not delete initrd on switch-root
513 * clean up date formatting and parsing so that all absolute/relative timestamps we format can also be parsed
515 * on shutdown: move utmp, wall, audit logic all into PID 1 (or logind?), get rid of systemd-update-utmp-runlevel
517 * make repeated alt-ctrl-del presses printing a dump, or even force a reboot without
518 waiting for the timeout
520 * hostnamed: before returning information from /etc/machine-info.conf check the modification data and reread. Similar for localed, ...
522 * currently x-systemd.timeout is lost in the initrd, since crypttab is copied into dracut, but fstab is not
525 - bind mount read-only the cgroup tree higher than nspawn
526 - refuses to boot containers without /etc/machine-id (OK?), and with empty /etc/machine-id (not OK).
527 - support taking a btrfs snapshot at startup and dropping it afterwards
530 - cryptsetup-generator: allow specification of passwords in crypttab itself
531 - move cryptsetup key caching into kernel keyctl?
532 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54982
533 - support rd.luks.allow-discards= kernel cmdline params in cryptsetup generator
535 * hw watchdog: optionally try to use the preset watchdog timeout instead of always overriding it
536 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54712
538 * after deserializing sockets in socket.c we should reapply sockopts and things
540 * make timer units go away after they elapsed
542 * come up with a nice way to write queue/read_ahead_kb for a block device without interfering with readahead
544 * move PID 1 segfaults to /var/lib/systemd/coredump?
546 * create /sbin/init symlinks from the build system
548 * allow writing multiple conditions in unit files on one line
550 * MountFlags=shared acts as MountFlags=slave right now.
552 * drop PID 1 reloading, only do reexecing (difficult: Reload()
553 currently is properly synchronous, Reexec() is weird, because we
554 cannot delay the response properly until we are back, so instead of
555 being properly synchronous we just keep open the fd and close it
556 when done. That means clients do not get a successful method reply,
557 but much rather a disconnect on success.
559 * properly handle loop back mounts via fstab, especially regards to fsck/passno
561 * initialize the hostname from the fs label of /, if /etc/hostname does not exist?
563 * rename "userspace" to "core-os"
565 * load-fragment: when loading a unit file via a chain of symlinks
566 verify that it is not masked via any of the names traversed.
568 * introduce Type=pid-file
570 * change Requires=basic.target to RequisiteOverride=basic.target
572 * when breaking cycles drop sysv services first, then services from /run, then from /etc, then from /usr
574 * automount: implement expire:
575 - set superblock timeout AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_TIMEOUT_CMD
576 - periodically run AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_EXPIRE_CMD
577 - every timeout/4 (original autofs logic)
578 - blocking, needs a thread
580 - receive expire packet on pipe if kernel tells the timeout is over
582 - answer expire packet on pipe with AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_{READY,FAIL}_CMD
583 - AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_EXPIRE_CMD returns
585 * ExecOnFailure=/usr/bin/foo
590 - add trigger --subsystem-match=usb/usb_device device
591 - reimport udev db after MOVE events for devices without dev_t
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 * introduce mix of BindTo and Requisite
597 * There's currently no way to cancel fsck (used to be possible via C-c or c on the console)
599 * add option to sockets to avoid activation. Instead just drop packets/connections, see http://cyberelk.net/tim/2012/02/15/portreserve-systemd-solution/
601 * default unix qlen is too small (10). bump sysctl? add sockopt?
603 * save coredump in Windows/Mozilla minidump format
605 * support crash reporting operation modes (https://live.gnome.org/GnomeOS/Design/Whiteboards/ProblemReporting)
607 * default to actual 32-bit PIDs, via /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max
609 * be able to specify a forced restart of service A where service B depends on, in case B
610 needs to be auto-respawned?
612 * when a bus name of a service disappears from the bus make sure to queue further activation requests
615 - apply "x" on "D" too (see patch from William Douglas)
617 * for services: do not set $HOME in services unless requested
619 * hide PAM options in fragment parser when compile time disabled
621 * when we automatically restart a service, ensure we restart its rdeps, too.
623 * allow Type=simple with PIDFile=
624 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=723942
626 * move PAM code into its own binary
628 * implement Register= switch in .socket units to enable registration
629 in Avahi, RPC and other socket registration services.
631 * make sure systemd-ask-password-wall does not shutdown systemd-ask-password-console too early
633 * add ReloadSignal= for configuring a reload signal to use
635 * verify that the AF_UNIX sockets of a service in the fs still exist
636 when we start a service in order to avoid confusion when a user
637 assumes starting a service is enough to make it accessible
639 * Make it possible to set the keymap independently from the font on
640 the kernel cmdline. Right now setting one resets also the other.
642 * and a dbus call to generate target from current state
644 * GC unreferenced jobs (such as .device jobs)
646 * write blog stories about:
647 - hwdb: what belongs into it, lsusb
648 - enabling dbus services
650 - how to make changes to sysctl and sysfs attributes
652 - how to pass throw-away units to systemd, or dynamically change properties of existing units
653 - how to integrate cgconfig and suchlike with systemd
654 - testing with Harald's awesome test kit
656 - how to develop against journal browsing APIs
657 - the journal HTTP iface
658 - non-cgroup resource management
659 - dynamic resource management with cgroups
660 - refreshed, longer missions statement
661 - calendar time events
662 - init=/bin/sh vs. "emergency" mode, vs. "rescue" mode, vs. "multi-user" mode, vs. "graphical" mode, and the debug shell
663 - how to create your own target
664 - instantiated apache, dovecot and so on
665 - hooking a script into various stages of shutdown/rearly booot
667 * allow port=0 in .socket units
669 * recreate systemd's D-Bus private socket file on SIGUSR2
671 * Support --test based on current system state
673 * investigate whether the gnome pty helper should be moved into systemd, to provide cgroup support.
675 * maybe introduce ExecRestartPre=
677 * dot output for --test showing the 'initial transaction'
679 * fingerprint.target, wireless.target, gps.target, netdevice.target
681 * drop cap bounding set in readahead and other services
684 - figure out a simple way to wait for journal events in a way that
686 - add documentation to systemd.daemon
689 - plot per-process IO utilization
690 - group processes based on service association (cgroups)
691 - document initcall_debug
692 - kernel cmdline "bootchart" option for simplicity?
695 - Make sure ID_PATH is always exported and complete for
696 network devices where possible, so we can safely rely
698 - check MTUBytes parsing (expecting size_t but we are using unsigned)
701 - add support for more attribute types
702 - inbuilt piping support (essentially degenerate async)? see loopback-setup.c and other places
705 - add more keys to [Route] and [Address] sections
706 - add support for more DHCPv4 options (and, longer term, other kinds of dynamic config)
707 - add proper initrd support (in particular generate .network/.link files based on /proc/cmdline)
708 - add reduced [Link] support to .network files
709 - add Scope= parsing option for [Network]
710 - properly handle routerless dhcp leases
711 - add more attribute support for SIT tunnel
712 - work with non-ethernet devices
713 - add support for more bond options
715 * networkd-wait-online:
716 - make operstates to wait for configurable?
719 - figure out how much we can increase Maximum Message Size
720 - export timezone information
721 - support RFC4702 (pass FQDN)
724 - add functions to set previously stored IPv6 addresses on startup and get
725 them at shutdown; store them in client->ia_na
726 - write more test cases
727 - implement and do duplicate address detection, see rfc 4862, 5.4.
728 - implement reconfigure support, see 5.3., 15.11. and 22.20.

730 - implement support for temporary adressess (IA_TA)
731 - implement dhcpv6 authentication
732 - investigate the usefulness of Confirm messages; i.e. are there any
733 situations where the link changes without any loss in carrier detection
735 - some servers don't do rapid commit without a filled in IA_NA, verify
741 - natively watch for dbus-*.service symlinks (PENDING)
742 - teach dbus to activate all services it finds in /etc/systemd/services/org-*.service
744 * fix alsa mixer restore to not print error when no config is stored
746 * make cryptsetup lower --iter-time
748 * patch kernel for xattr support in /dev, /proc/, /sys?
750 * kernel: add device_type = "fb", "fbcon" to class "graphics"
752 * drop accountsservice's StandardOutput=syslog and Type=dbus fields
754 * dbus upstream still refers to dbus.target and should not
756 * dbus: in fedora, make /var/lib/dbus/machine-id a symlink to /etc/machine-id
758 * add "# export SYSTEMD_PAGER=" to bash login
760 * /usr/bin/service should actually show the new command line
762 * 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=
764 * fedora: F20: go timer units all the way, leave cron.daily for cron
766 * neither pkexec nor sudo initialize environ[] from the PAM environment?
768 * fedora: update policy to declare access mode and ownership of unit files to root:root 0644, and add an rpmlint check for it
770 * register catalog database signature as file magic
772 * zsh shell completion:
773 - <command> <verb> -<TAB> should complete options, but currently does not
774 - systemctl add-wants,add-requires
779 * look for close() vs. close_nointr() vs. close_nointr_nofail()
781 * check for strerror(r) instead of strerror(-r)
783 * Use PR_SET_PROCTITLE_AREA if it becomes available in the kernel
787 * set_put(), hashmap_put() return values check. i.e. == 0 does not free()!
789 * use secure_getenv() instead of getenv() where appropriate
791 * link up selected blog stories from man pages and unit files Documentation= fields
793 Scheduled for removal or fixing:
795 * xxxOverridable dependencies (probably: fix)
