3 * Should systemctl status \* work on all unit types, not just .service?
5 * Dangling symlinks of .automount unit files in .wants/ directories, set up
6 automount points even when the original .automount file did not exist
7 anymore. Only the .mount unit was still around.
9 * ExecStart with unicode characters fails in strv_split_quoted:
12 Environment=ONE='one' "TWO='two two' too" THREE=
13 ExecStart=/bin/python3 -c 'import sys;print(sys.argv)' $ONE $TWO $THREE
15 * MEMORY return code is overloaded for syntax errors in the command line.
16 str_split_quoted() should return a real return code, so spawn_child can
17 report the failure properly.
19 * When systemctl --host is used, underlying ssh connection can remain open.
20 bus_close does not kill children?
24 * Fedora: add an rpmlint check that verifies that all unit files in the RPM are listed in %systemd_post macros.
26 * Fedora: move kernel image to /usr/lib/modules/, kernel-install will take care of populating /boot
28 * Fedora: remove /etc/resolv.conf tmpfiles hack
30 * wiki: update journal format documentation for lz4 additions
32 * When lz4 gets an API for lz4 command output, make use of it to
33 compress coredumps in a way compatible with /usr/bin/lz4.
37 * revert Kay's revert orgies
41 * assign MESSAGE_ID to log messages about failed services
43 * coredump: make the handler check /proc/$PID/rlimits for RLIMIT_CORE,
44 and supress coredump if turned off. Then change RLIMIT_CORE to
45 infinity by default for all services. This then allows per-service
46 control of coredumping.
48 * introduce some call that iterates through cmsg and closes all fds
49 passed in, and use it everywhere...
51 * generate better errors when people try to set transient properties
52 that are not supported...
53 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-February/028076.html
55 * nspawn, if stdout/stderr/stdin are non-ttys, don't set up
56 /dev/console, but instead just pass the fds through directly.
58 * When runlevel3.target is used to define dependencies on other units,
59 then we don't pick it up currently, since nothing ever references
60 runlevel3.target, and never figure out it actually is just an alias
61 for multi-user.target. A hackish fix could be to add a .wants link
62 from multi-user.target to runlevel3.target, if it is a symlink to
63 it. Best would be to create this .wants/ symlink from
64 sysv-generator. systemd would then load the referenced unit, figure
65 out it is just an alias and that the dependency would be on itself
66 and suppress it. Thus the alias and its deps would be loaded as
69 * PID 1: when invoking systemctl preset-all on first boots, operate in
70 an exclusively additive way, i.e. never remove any pre-existing
71 symlinks, only add new ones.
73 * Introduce $LISTEN_NAMES to complement $LISTEN_FDS, containing a
74 colon separated list of identifiers for the fds passed.
76 * networkd: implement BindCarrier= logic to .network units that binds
77 application of the file to the carrier sense on another interface,
78 in order to implement uplink/downlink logic.
80 * make networkd subscribe to PrepareForSleep(false) and refresh all
83 * when the fstab-generator runs in the initrd, it should create a /dev/null mask for systemd-fsck-root.service, to avoid that the the root fs is fsck'ed twice.
85 * maybe introduce WantsMountsFor=? Usecase:
86 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-January/027729.html
88 * rework kexec logic to use new kexec_file_load() syscall, so that we
89 don't have to call kexec tool anymore.
91 * The udev blkid built-in should expose a property that reflects
92 whether media was sensed in USB CF/SD card readers. This should then
93 be used to control SYSTEMD_READY=1/0 so that USB card readers aren't
94 picked up by systemd unless they contain a medium. This would mirror
95 the behaviour we already have for CD drives.
97 * We should remove really old cruft from cdrom_id
99 * nspawn: emulate /dev/kmsg using CUSE and turn off the syslog syscall
100 with seccomp. That should provide us with a useful log buffer that
101 systemd can log to during early boot, and disconnect container logs
102 from the kernel's logs.
104 * networkd/udev: implement SR_IOV configuration in .link files:
105 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-January/027451.html
107 * When RLIMIT_NPROC is set from a unit file it currently always is set
108 for root, not for the user set in User=, which makes it
109 useless. After fixing this, set RLIMIT_NPROC for
110 systemd-journal-xyz, and all other of our services that run under
111 their own user ids, and use User= (but only in a world where userns
112 is ubiquitous since otherwise we cannot invoke those daemons on the
113 host AND in a container anymore). Also, if LimitNPROC= is used
114 without User= we should warn and refuse operation.
116 * logind: maybe allow configuration of the StopTimeout for session scopes
118 * Set NoNewPriviliges= on all of our own services, where that makes sense
120 * Rework systemctl's GetAll property parsing to use the generic bus_map_all_properties() API
122 * rework journald sigbus stuff to use mutex
124 * import-dkr: support tarsum checksum verification, if it becomes reality one day...
126 * import-dkr: convert json bits to nspawn configuration
128 * import: support import from local files, and export to local files
130 * core/cgroup: support net_cls modules, and support automatically allocating class ids, then add support for making firewall changes depending on it, to implement a per-service firewall
132 * introduce systemd-nspawn-ephemeral@.service, and hook it into "machinectl start" with a new --ephemeral switch
134 * logind,machined: add generic catch-all polkit verbs for most privileged operations, similar to systemd itself
136 * "machinectl status" should also show internal logs of the container in question
138 * "machinectl list-images" should show os-release data, as well as machine-info data (including deployment level)
140 * nspawn: when start a container "foobar" look for its configuration in a file "foobar.nspawn" in /etc/systemd/nspawn/ as well as next to the actualy directory or image to boot
142 * Port various tools to make use of verbs.[ch], where applicable
144 * "machinectl history"
148 * "machinectl commit" that takes a writable snapshot of a tree, invokes a shell in it, and marks it read-only after use
150 * "machinectl status" should show 10 most recent log lines of both the host logs of the unit of the machine, plus the logs generated in the machine
152 * add transparent btrfs pool in a loopback file in /var if btrfs operations (such as systemd-import pull-dkr) are used and /var is not a btrfs file system
154 * systemd-nspawn -x should support ephemeral instances of gpt images
156 * move machinectl's mount and copy commands into machined
158 * hostnamectl: show root image uuid
160 * sysfs set api in libudev is not const
162 * Find a solution for SMACK capabilities stuff:
163 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-December/026188.html
165 * port libmount hookup to use API's own inotify interface, as soon as that is table in libmount
167 * "systemctl preset-all" should probably order the unit files it
168 operates on lexicographically before starting to work, in order to
169 ensure deterministic behaviour if two unit files conflict (like DMs
172 * resolved should optionally register additional per-interface LLMNR
173 names, so that for the container case we can establish the same name
174 (maybe "host") for referencing the server, everywhere.
176 * systemd-journal-upload (or a new, related tool): allow pushing out
177 journal messages onto the network in BSD syslog protocol,
178 continuously. Default to some link-local IP mcast group, to make this
179 useful as a one-stop debugging tool.
181 * synchronize console access with BSD locks:
182 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-October/024582.html
184 * as soon as we have kdbus, and sender timestamps, revisit coalescing multiple parallel daemon reloads:
185 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-December/025862.html
187 * set $REMOTE_IP (or $REMOTE_ADDR/$REMOTE_PORT) environment variable when doing per-connection socket activation. use format introduced by xinetd or CGI for this
189 * the install state probably shouldn't get confused by generated units, think dbus1/kdbus compat!
191 * in systemctl list-unit-files: show the install value the presets would suggest for a service in a third column
193 * we should try harder to collapse start jobs for swaps that end up being the same:
194 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-November/025359.html
196 * timedated should compensate on SetTime for the time spent in polkit
198 * figure out when we can use the coarse timers
200 * sd-resolve: drop res_query wrapping, people should call via the bus to resolved instead
202 * add "systemctl start -v foobar.service" that shows logs of a service
203 while the start command runs. This is non-trivial to do without
204 races though, since we should flush out all journal messages before
205 returning from the "systemctl stop".
207 * firstboot: make it useful to be run immediately after yum --installroot to set up a machine. (most specifically, make --copy-root-password work even if /etc/passwd already exists
209 * timesyncd + resolved: add ugly bus calls to set NTP and DNS servers per-interface, for usage by NM
211 * add infrastructure to allocate dynamic/transient users and UID ranges, for use in user-namespaced containers, per-seat gdm login screens and gdm guest sessions
213 * machined: add an API so that libvirt-lxc can inform us about network interfaces being removed or added to an existing machine
215 * maybe add support for specifier expansion in user.conf, specifically DefaultEnvironment=
217 * code cleanup: retire FOREACH_WORD_QUOTED, port to unquote_first_word() loops instead
219 * introduce systemd-timesync-wait.service or so to sync on an NTP fix?
221 * systemd --user should issue sd_notify() upon reaching basic.target, not on becoming idle
223 * consider showing the unit names during boot up in the status output, not just the unit descriptions
225 * dhcp: do we allow configuring dhcp routes on interfaces that are not the one we got the dhcp info from?
227 * maybe allow timer units with an empty Units= setting, so that they
228 can be used for resuming the system but nothing else.
230 * what to do about udev db binary stability for apps? (raw access is not an option)
232 * maybe provide an API to allow migration of foreign PIDs into existing scopes.
234 * maybe support a new very "soft" reboot mode, that simply kills all processes, disassembles everything, flushes /run and sysvipc, and then reexecs systemd again
236 * man: document that corrupted journal files is nothing to act on
238 * man: maybe use the word "inspect" rather than "introspect"?
240 * "machinectl list" should probably show columns for OS version and IP addresses
242 * systemctl: if some operation fails, show log output?
245 - allow creation of units from scratch
246 - use equvalent of cat() to insert existing config as a comment, prepended with #.
247 Upon editor exit, lines with one # are removed, lines with two # are left with one #, etc.
249 * refcounting in sd-resolve is borked
251 * exponential backoff in timesyncd and resolved when we cannot reach a server
253 * tmpfiles: port to unquote_many_words(), similar to sysusers
255 * unquote_many_words() should probably be used by a lot of code that
256 currently uses FOREACH_WORD and friends. For example, most conf
257 parsing callbacks should use it.
259 * merge ~/.local/share and ~/.local/lib into one similar /usr/lib and /usr/share....
261 * systemd.show_status= should probably have a mode where only failed
265 - add LLDP client side support
266 - the DHCP lease data (such as NTP/DNS) is still made available when
267 a carrier is lost on a link. It should be removed instantly.
268 - .network setting that allows overriding of the hostname to send to the dhcp server
269 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-July/021550.html
270 - expose in the API the following bits:
271 - option 15, domain name and/or option 119, search list
272 - option 12, host name and/or option 81, fqdn
273 - option 100, 101, timezone
274 - option 123, 144, geolocation
275 - option 252, configure http proxy (PAC/wpad)
276 - networkd's dhcp server should transparently pass on the DNS and
277 NTP server list it got from user configuration and its dhcp client
278 to clients. It should also pass on its own timezone information.
279 - provide a way to define a per-network interface default metric value
280 for all routes to it. possibly a second default for DHCP routes.
281 - allow Name= to be specified repeatedly in the [Match] section. Maybe also
282 support Name=foo*|bar*|baz ?
283 - duplicate address check for static IPs (like ARPCHECK in network-scripts)
286 - put networkd events and rtnl events at a higher priority, so that
287 we always process them before we process client requests
289 - use base64 for key presentation?
290 - add display of private key types (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4034#appendix-A.1.1)?
291 - add nice formatting of DNS timestamps
296 - DNS-SD service registration from socket units
300 - maybe randomize DNS UDP source ports
301 - maybe compare query section of DNS replies
303 * Allow multiple ExecStart= for all Type= settings, so that we can cover rescue.service nicely
305 * Add a new verb "systemctl top"
307 * add new gpt type for btrfs volumes
309 * support empty /etc boots nicely:
310 - nspawn/gpt-generator: introduce new gpt partition type for /usr
311 - fstab-generator: support systemd.volatile=yes|no|state on the kernel cmdline, too, similar to nspawn's --volatile=
313 * generator that automatically discovers btrfs subvolumes, identifies their purpose based on some xattr on them.
315 * timer units: actually add extra delays to timer units with high AccuracySec values, don't start them already when we are awake...
317 * a way for container managers to turn off getty starting via $container_headless= or so...
319 * figure out a nice way how we can let the admin know what child/sibling unit causes cgroup membership for a specific unit
321 * mount_cgroup_controllers(): symlinks need to get the label applied
323 * For timer units: add some mechanisms so that timer units that trigger immediately on boot do not have the services
324 they run added to the initial transaction and thus confuse Type=idle.
326 * 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)
328 * sd-event: generate a failure of a default event loop is executed out-of-thread
330 * add bus api to query unit file's X fields.
332 * consider adding RuntimeDirectoryUser= + RuntimeDirectoryGroup=
334 * sd-event: define more intervals where we will shift wakeup intervals around in, 1h, 6h, 24h, ...
336 * gpt-auto-generator:
337 - Support LUKS for root devices
338 - Define new partition type for encrypted swap? Support probed LUKS for encrypted swap?
339 - Make /home automount rather than mount?
341 * add generator that pulls in systemd-network from containers when
342 CAP_NET_ADMIN is set, more than the loopback device is defined, even
343 when it is otherwise off
345 * MessageQueueMessageSize= and RLimitFSIZE= (and suchlike) should use parse_iec_size().
347 * "busctl status" works only as root on dbus1, since we cannot read
350 * implement Distribute= in socket units to allow running multiple
351 service instances processing the listening socket, and open this up
354 * socket units: support creating sockets in different namespace,
355 opening it up for JoinsNamespaceOf=. This would require to fork off
356 a tiny process that joins the namespace and creates/binds the socket
357 and passes this back to PID1 via SCM_RIGHTS. This also could be used
358 to allow Chown/chgrp on sockets without requiring NSS in PID 1.
360 * New service property: maximum CPU and wallclock runtime for a service
362 * introduce bus call FreezeUnit(s, b), as well as "systemctl freeze
363 $UNIT" and "systemctl thaw $UNIT" as wrappers around this. The calls
364 should SIGSTOP all unit processes in a loop until all processes of
365 it are fully stopped. This can later be used for app management by
366 desktop UIs such as gnome-shell to freeze apps that are not visible
367 on screen, not unlike how job control works on the shell
370 - implement per-slice CPUFairScheduling=1 switch
371 - handle jointly mounted controllers correctly
372 - introduce high-level settings for RT budget, swappiness
373 - how to reset dynamically changed unit cgroup attributes sanely?
374 - when reloading configuration, apply new cgroup configuration
375 - when recursively showing the cgroup hierarchy, optionally also show
376 the hierarchies of child processes
379 - allow creating auxiliary units with the same call
380 - add field to transient units that indicate whether systemd or somebody else saves/restores its settings, for integration with libvirt
381 - ensure scope units may be started only a single time
383 * Automatically configure swap partition to use for hibernation by looking for largest swap partition on the root disk?
385 * when we detect low battery and no AC on boot, show pretty splash and refuse boot
387 * machined, localed: when we try to kill an empty cgroup, generate an ESRCH error over the bus
389 * libsystemd-journal, libsystemd-login, libudev: add calls to easily attach these objects to sd-event event loops
391 * be more careful what we export on the bus as (usec_t) 0 and (usec_t) -1
393 * unify dispatch table in systemctl_main() and friends
395 * 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
397 * After coming back from hibernation reset hibernation swap partition using the /dev/snapshot ioctl APIs
399 * If we try to find a unit via a dangling symlink, generate a clean
400 error. Currently, we just ignore it and read the unit from the search
403 * refuse boot if /etc/os-release is missing or /etc/machine-id cannot be set up
405 * btrfs raid assembly: some .device jobs stay stuck in the queue
407 * make sure gdm does not use multi-user-x but the new default X configuration file, and then remove multi-user-x from systemd
409 * man: the documentation of Restart= currently is very misleading and suggests the tools from ExecStartPre= might get restarted.
411 * load .d/*.conf dropins for device units
413 * allow implementation of InaccessibleDirectories=/ plus
414 ReadOnlyDirectories=... for whitelisting files for a service.
417 - GetAllProperties() on a non-existing object does not result in a failure currently
418 - kdbus: process fd=-1 for incoming msgs
419 - port to sd-resolve for connecting to TCP dbus servers
420 - kdbus: maybe add controlling tty metadata fields
421 - see if we can introduce a new sd_bus_get_owner_machine_id() call to retrieve the machine ID of the machine of the bus itself
422 - when kdbus does not take our message without memfds, try again with memfds
423 - see if we can drop more message validation on the sending side
424 - add API to clone sd_bus_message objects
425 - make AddMatch calls on dbus1 transports async?
426 - kdbus: matches against source or destination pids for an "strace -p"-like feel. Problem: The PID info needs to be available in userspace too...
427 - longer term: priority inheritance
430 - NameLost/NameAcquired obsolete
433 - update systemd.special(7) to mention that dbus.socket is only about the compatibility socket now
434 - test bloom filter generation indexes
435 - bus-proxy: when passing messages from kdbus, make sure we properly
436 handle the case where a large number of fds is appended that we
437 cannot pass into sendmsg() of the AF_UNIX sokcet (which only accepts
439 - kdbus: introduce a concept of "send-only" connections
440 - kdbus: add counter for refused unicast messages that is passed out via the RECV ioctl. SImilar to the counter for dropped multicast messages we already have.
443 - allow multiple signal handlers per signal?
444 - document chaining of signal handler for SIGCHLD and child handlers
446 * in the final killing spree, detect processes from the root directory, and
447 complain loudly if they have argv[0][0] == '@' set.
448 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=961044
450 * investigate endianness issues of UUID vs. GUID
452 * dbus: when a unit failed to load (i.e. is in UNIT_ERROR state), we
453 should be able to safely try another attempt when the bus call LoadUnit() is invoked.
455 * add a pam module that passes the hdd passphrase into the PAM stack and then expires it, for usage by gdm auto-login.
457 * add a pam module that on password changes updates any LUKS slot where the password matches
459 * maybe add a generator that looks for "systemd.run=" on the kernel cmdline for container usercases...
461 * cgtop: make cgtop useful in a container
464 - add 'set -e' to scripts in test/
465 - make stuff in test/ work with separate output dir
467 * seems that when we follow symlinks to units we prefer the symlink
468 destination path over /etc and /usr. We should not do that. Instead
469 /etc should always override /run+/usr and also any symlink
472 * when isolating, try to figure out a way how we implicitly can order
473 all units we stop before the isolating unit...
475 * teach ConditionKernelCommandLine= globs or regexes (in order to match foobar={no,0,off})
477 * BootLoaderSpec: Clarify that the kernel has to be in $BOOT. Clarify
478 that the boot loader should be installed to the ESP. Define a way
479 how an installer can figure out whether a BLS compliant boot loader
482 * think about requeuing jobs when daemon-reload is issued? usecase:
483 the initrd issues a reload after fstab from the host is accessible
484 and we might want to requeue the mounts local-fs acquired through
487 * systemd-inhibit: make taking delay locks useful: support sending SIGINT or SIGTERM on PrepareForSleep()
489 * journal-or-kmsg is currently broken? See reverted commit 4a01181e460686d8b4a543b1dfa7f77c9e3c5ab8.
491 * remove any syslog support from log.c -- we probably cannot do this before split-off udev is gone for good
493 * shutdown logging: store to EFI var, and store to USB stick?
495 * write UI tool that pops up emergency messages from the journal as notification
497 * think about window-manager-run-as-user-service problem: exit 0 → activate shutdown.target; exit != 0 → restart service
499 * merge unit_kill_common() and unit_kill_context()
501 * introduce ExecCondition= in services
504 - honor language efi variables for default language selection (if there are any?)
505 - honor timezone efi variables for default timezone selection (if there are any?)
506 - change bootctl to be backed by systemd-bootd to control temporary and persistent default boot goal plus efi variables
508 * maybe do not install getty@tty1.service symlink in /etc but in /usr?
510 * re-enable "make check" for gtk-doc (broken for unknown reason)
512 * fstab: add new mount option x-systemd-after=/foobar/waldo to allow manual dependencies to other mount points
513 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=812826
515 * print a nicer explanation if people use variable/specifier expansion in ExecStart= for the first word
517 * mount: turn dependency information from /proc/self/mountinfo into dependency information between systemd units.
520 - logind: optionally, ignore idle-hint logic for autosuspend, block suspend as long as a session is around
521 - When we update the kernel all kind of hibernation should be prohibited until shutdown/reboot
522 - logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
523 - Add pretty name for seats in logind
524 - logind: allow showing logout dialog from system?
525 - we should probably handle SIGTERM/SIGINT to not leave dot files around, just in case
526 - session scopes/user unit: add RequiresMountsFor for the home directory of the user
527 - add Suspend() bus calls which take timestamps to fix double suspend issues when somebody hits suspend and closes laptop quickly.
528 - if pam_systemd is invoked by su from a process that is outside of a
529 any session we should probably just become a NOP, since that's
530 usually not a real user session but just some system code that just
532 - logind: make the Suspend()/Hibernate() bus calls wait for the for
533 the job to be completed. before returning, so that clients can wait
534 for "systemctl suspend" to finish to know when the suspending is
536 - logind: when the power button is pressed short, just popup a
537 logout dialog. If it is pressed for 1s, do the usual
538 shutdown. Inspiration are Macs here.
539 - logind: allow users to kill or lock their own sessions
540 - expose "Locked" property on logind sesison objects
541 - given that logind now lets PID 1 do all nasty work, we can
542 probably reduce the capability set it retains substantially.
543 (we need CAP_SYS_ADMIN for drmSetMaster(), so maybe not worth it)
544 - expose orientation sensors and tablet mode through logind
546 * exec: when deinitializating a tty device fix the perms and group, too, not only when initializing. Set access mode/gid to 0620/tty.
548 * service: watchdog logic: for testing purposes allow ping, but do not require pong
551 - consider introducing implicit _TTY= + _PPID= + _EUID= + _EGID= + _FSUID= + _FSGID= fields
552 - import and delete pstore filesystem content at startup
553 - journald: also get thread ID from client, plus thread name
554 - journal: when waiting for journal additions in the client always sleep at least 1s or so, in order to minimize wakeups
555 - add API to close/reopen/get fd for journal client fd in libsystemd-journal.
556 - fallback to /dev/log based logging in libsystemd-journal, if we cannot log natively?
557 - declare the local journal protocol stable in the wiki interface chart
558 - journal: reuse XZ context
559 - sd-journal: speed up sd_journal_get_data() with transparent hash table in bg
560 - journald: when dropping msgs due to ratelimit make sure to write
561 "dropped %u messages" not only when we are about to print the next
562 message that works, but alraedy after a short tiemout
563 - check if we can make journalctl by default use --follow mode inside of less if called without args?
564 - maybe add API to send pairs of iovecs via sd_journal_send
565 - journal: when writing journal auto-rotate if time jumps backwards
566 - journal: add a setgid "systemd-journal" utility to invoke from libsystemd-journal, which passes fds via STDOUT and does PK access
567 - journactl: support negative filtering, i.e. FOOBAR!="waldo",
568 and !FOOBAR for events without FOOBAR.
569 - journal: store timestamp of journal_file_set_offline() int he header,
570 so it is possible to display when the file was last synced.
571 - 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.
572 - journal: find a way to allow dropping history early, based on priority, other rules
573 - journal: When used on NFS, check payload hashes
574 - journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
575 - refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
576 - journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
577 - journal: deal nicely with byte-by-byte copied files, especially regards header
578 - journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the components would fit
579 - Replace utmp, wtmp, btmp, and lastlog completely with journal
580 - journalctl: instead --after-cursor= maybe have a --cursor=XYZ+1 syntax?
581 - when a kernel driver logs in a tight loop, we should ratelimit that too.
582 - journald: optionally, log debug messages to /run but everything else to /var
583 - journald: when we drop syslog messages because the syslog socket is
584 full, make sure to write how many messages are lost as first thing
585 to syslog when it works again.
586 - journald: make sure ratelimit is actually really per-service with the new cgroup changes
587 - change systemd-journal-flush into a service that stays around during
588 boot, and causes the journal to be moved back to /run on shutdown,
589 so that we do not keep /var busy. This needs to happen synchronously,
590 hence doing this via signals is not going to work.
591 - optionally support running journald from the command line for testing purposes in external projects
592 - journald: allow per-priority and per-service retention times when rotating/vacuuming
593 - journald: make use of uid-range.h to managed uid ranges to split
595 - journalctl: add the ability to look for the most recent process of a binary. journalctl /usr/bin/X11 --pid=-1 or so...
596 - improve journalctl performance by loading journal files
597 lazily. Encode just enough information in the file name, so that we
598 do not have to open it to know that it is not interesting for us, for
599 the most common operations.
602 - document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fields in
603 [Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
604 - man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
605 - document the exit codes when services fail before they are exec()ed
606 - document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
607 - document in wiki how to map ical recurrence events to systemd timer unit calendar specifications
608 - add a man page containing packaging guidelines and recommending usage of things like Documentation=, PrivateTmp=, PrivateNetwork= and ReadOnlyDirectories=/etc /usr.
609 - document systemd-journal-flush.service properly
610 - documentation: recommend to connect the timer units of a service to the service via Also= in [Install]
611 - man: document the very specific env the shutdown drop-in tools live in
612 - man: extend runlevel(8) to mention that runlevels suck, and are dead. Maybe add runlevel(7) with a note about that too
613 - man: add more examples to man pages
614 - man: maybe sort directives in man pages, and take sections from --help and apply them to man too
617 - systemctl list-jobs - show dependencies
618 - add systemctl switch to dump transaction without executing it
619 - Add a verbose mode to "systemctl start" and friends that explains what is being done or not done
620 - "systemctl disable" on a static unit prints no message and does
621 nothing. "systemctl enable" does nothing, and gives a bad message
622 about it. Should fix both to print nice actionable messages.
623 - print nice message from systemctl --failed if there are no entries shown, and hook that into ExecStartPre of rescue.service/emergency.service
624 - add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
625 - systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into does not exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
626 - systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
627 - support "systemctl stop foobar@.service" to stop all units matching a certain template
628 - Something is wrong with symlink handling of "autovt@.service" in "systemctl list-unit-files"
629 - better error message if you run systemctl without systemd running
630 - systemctl status output should should include list of triggering units and their status
633 - "systemctl mask" should find all names by which a unit is accessible
634 (i.e. by scanning for symlinks to it) and link them all to /dev/null
635 - systemctl list-unit-files should list generated files (and probably with a new state "generated" for them, or so)
638 - timer units should get the ability to trigger when:
639 o CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (TFD_TIMER_CANCEL_ON_SET)
641 - Support 2012-02~4 as syntax for specifying the fourth to last day of the month.
642 - calendarspec: support value ranges with ".." notation. Example: 2013-4..8-1
643 - 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
644 - Modulate timer frequency based on battery state
646 * add libsystemd-password or so to query passwords during boot using the password agent logic
648 * 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().
650 * fedup: add --unit to systemctl switch-root somehow
651 * fedup: do not delete initrd on switch-root
654 * clean up date formatting and parsing so that all absolute/relative timestamps we format can also be parsed
656 * on shutdown: move utmp, wall, audit logic all into PID 1 (or logind?), get rid of systemd-update-utmp-runlevel
658 * make repeated alt-ctrl-del presses printing a dump, or even force a reboot without
659 waiting for the timeout
661 * hostnamed: before returning information from /etc/machine-info.conf check the modification data and reread. Similar for localed, ...
663 * currently x-systemd.timeout is lost in the initrd, since crypttab is copied into dracut, but fstab is not
666 - refuses to boot containers without /etc/machine-id (OK?), and with empty /etc/machine-id (not OK).
669 - cryptsetup-generator: allow specification of passwords in crypttab itself
670 - move cryptsetup key caching into kernel keyctl?
671 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54982
672 - support rd.luks.allow-discards= kernel cmdline params in cryptsetup generator
674 * hw watchdog: optionally try to use the preset watchdog timeout instead of always overriding it
675 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54712
677 * after deserializing sockets in socket.c we should reapply sockopts and things
679 * make timer units go away after they elapsed
681 * move PID 1 segfaults to /var/lib/systemd/coredump?
683 * create /sbin/init symlinks from the build system
685 * allow writing multiple conditions in unit files on one line
687 * MountFlags=shared acts as MountFlags=slave right now.
689 * drop PID 1 reloading, only do reexecing (difficult: Reload()
690 currently is properly synchronous, Reexec() is weird, because we
691 cannot delay the response properly until we are back, so instead of
692 being properly synchronous we just keep open the fd and close it
693 when done. That means clients do not get a successful method reply,
694 but much rather a disconnect on success.
696 * properly handle loop back mounts via fstab, especially regards to fsck/passno
698 * initialize the hostname from the fs label of /, if /etc/hostname does not exist?
700 * rename "userspace" to "core-os"
702 * load-fragment: when loading a unit file via a chain of symlinks
703 verify that it is not masked via any of the names traversed.
705 * introduce Type=pid-file
707 * change Requires=basic.target to RequisiteOverride=basic.target
709 * when breaking cycles drop sysv services first, then services from /run, then from /etc, then from /usr
711 * automount: implement expire:
712 - set superblock timeout AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_TIMEOUT_CMD
713 - periodically run AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_EXPIRE_CMD
714 - every timeout/4 (original autofs logic)
715 - blocking, needs a thread
717 - receive expire packet on pipe if kernel tells the timeout is over
719 - answer expire packet on pipe with AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_{READY,FAIL}_CMD
720 - AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_EXPIRE_CMD returns
722 * ExecOnFailure=/usr/bin/foo
727 - add trigger --subsystem-match=usb/usb_device device
728 - reimport udev db after MOVE events for devices without dev_t
730 * 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
732 * introduce mix of BindTo and Requisite
734 * There's currently no way to cancel fsck (used to be possible via C-c or c on the console)
736 * add option to sockets to avoid activation. Instead just drop packets/connections, see http://cyberelk.net/tim/2012/02/15/portreserve-systemd-solution/
738 * default unix qlen is too small (10). bump sysctl? add sockopt?
740 * save coredump in Windows/Mozilla minidump format
742 * support crash reporting operation modes (https://live.gnome.org/GnomeOS/Design/Whiteboards/ProblemReporting)
744 * default to actual 32-bit PIDs, via /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max
746 * be able to specify a forced restart of service A where service B depends on, in case B
747 needs to be auto-respawned?
749 * when a bus name of a service disappears from the bus make sure to queue further activation requests
752 - apply "x" on "D" too (see patch from William Douglas)
754 - instead of ignoring unknown fields, reject them.
756 * for services: do not set $HOME in services unless requested
758 * hide PAM options in fragment parser when compile time disabled
760 * when we automatically restart a service, ensure we restart its rdeps, too.
762 * allow Type=simple with PIDFile=
763 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=723942
765 * move PAM code into its own binary
767 * implement Register= switch in .socket units to enable registration
768 in Avahi, RPC and other socket registration services.
770 * make sure systemd-ask-password-wall does not shutdown systemd-ask-password-console too early
772 * add ReloadSignal= for configuring a reload signal to use
774 * verify that the AF_UNIX sockets of a service in the fs still exist
775 when we start a service in order to avoid confusion when a user
776 assumes starting a service is enough to make it accessible
778 * Make it possible to set the keymap independently from the font on
779 the kernel cmdline. Right now setting one resets also the other.
781 * and a dbus call to generate target from current state
783 * GC unreferenced jobs (such as .device jobs)
785 * write blog stories about:
786 - hwdb: what belongs into it, lsusb

802 - instantiated apache, dovecot and so on
803 - hooking a script into various stages of shutdown/rearly booot
805 * allow port=0 in .socket units
807 * recreate systemd's D-Bus private socket file on SIGUSR2
809 * Support --test based on current system state
811 * investigate whether the gnome pty helper should be moved into systemd, to provide cgroup support.
813 * maybe introduce ExecRestartPre=
815 * dot output for --test showing the 'initial transaction'
817 * fingerprint.target, wireless.target, gps.target, netdevice.target
820 - figure out a simple way to wait for journal events in a way that
822 - add documentation to systemd.daemon
825 - plot per-process IO utilization
826 - group processes based on service association (cgroups)
827 - document initcall_debug
828 - kernel cmdline "bootchart" option for simplicity?
831 - Make sure ID_PATH is always exported and complete for
832 network devices where possible, so we can safely rely
834 - check MTUBytes parsing (expecting size_t but we are using unsigned)
837 - add support for more attribute types
838 - inbuilt piping support (essentially degenerate async)? see loopback-setup.c and other places
841 - add more keys to [Route] and [Address] sections
842 - add support for more DHCPv4 options (and, longer term, other kinds of dynamic config)
843 - add proper initrd support (in particular generate .network/.link files based on /proc/cmdline)

845 - add Scope= parsing option for [Network]
846 - properly handle routerless dhcp leases
847 - add more attribute support for SIT tunnel

855 - figure out how much we can increase Maximum Message Size
856 - export timezone information
857 - support RFC4702 (pass FQDN)
860 - add functions to set previously stored IPv6 addresses on startup and get
861 them at shutdown; store them in client->ia_na
862 - write more test cases
863 - implement and do duplicate address detection, see rfc 4862, 5.4.
864 - implement reconfigure support, see 5.3., 15.11. and 22.20.
865 - implement support for temporary adressess (IA_TA)
866 - implement dhcpv6 authentication
867 - investigate the usefulness of Confirm messages; i.e. are there any
868 situations where the link changes without any loss in carrier detection
870 - some servers don't do rapid commit without a filled in IA_NA, verify
876 - natively watch for dbus-*.service symlinks (PENDING)
877 - teach dbus to activate all services it finds in /etc/systemd/services/org-*.service
879 * fix alsa mixer restore to not print error when no config is stored
881 * make cryptsetup lower --iter-time
883 * patch kernel for xattr support in /dev, /proc/, /sys?
885 * kernel: add device_type = "fb", "fbcon" to class "graphics"
887 * drop accountsservice's StandardOutput=syslog and Type=dbus fields
889 * dbus upstream still refers to dbus.target and should not
891 * dbus: in fedora, make /var/lib/dbus/machine-id a symlink to /etc/machine-id
893 * add "# export SYSTEMD_PAGER=" to bash login
895 * /usr/bin/service should actually show the new command line
897 * 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=
899 * fedora: F20: go timer units all the way, leave cron.daily for cron
901 * neither pkexec nor sudo initialize environ[] from the PAM environment?
903 * fedora: update policy to declare access mode and ownership of unit files to root:root 0644, and add an rpmlint check for it
905 * register catalog database signature as file magic
907 * zsh shell completion:
908 - <command> <verb> -<TAB> should complete options, but currently does not
909 - systemctl add-wants,add-requires
914 * look for close() vs. close_nointr() vs. close_nointr_nofail()
916 * check for strerror(r) instead of strerror(-r)
918 * Use PR_SET_PROCTITLE_AREA if it becomes available in the kernel
922 * set_put(), hashmap_put() return values check. i.e. == 0 does not free()!
924 * use secure_getenv() instead of getenv() where appropriate
926 * link up selected blog stories from man pages and unit files Documentation= fields
928 Scheduled for removal or fixing:
930 * xxxOverridable dependencies (probably: fix)
