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 command line.
18 str_split_quoted() should return a real return code, so spawn_child can
19 report the failure properly.
23 * Fedora: add an rpmlint check that verifies that all unit files in the RPM are listed in %systemd_post macros.
25 * Fedora: post FPC ticket to move add %tmpfiles_create to the packaging guidelines
27 * Fedora: move kernel image to /usr/lib/modules/, kernel-install will take care of populating /boot
29 * Fedora: remove /etc/resolv.conf tmpfiles hack
31 * wiki: update journal format documentation for lz4 additions
33 * When lz4 gets an API for lz4 command output, make use of it to
34 compress coredumps in a way compatible with /usr/bin/lz4.
38 * port libmount hookup to use API's own inotify interface, as soon as that is table in libmount
40 * bash completion for busctl, to make it truly useful
42 * journald: broken file systems are real (btrfs), we need to handle
43 SIGBUS in some way if we cannot write or read from the disk.
44 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1151848
46 * "systemctl preset-all" should probably order the unit files it
47 operates on lexicographically before starting to work, in order to
48 ensure deterministic behaviour if two unit files conflict (like DMs
51 * resolved should optionally register additional per-interface LLMNR
52 names, so that for the container case we can establish the same name
53 (maybe "host") for referencing the server, everywhere.
55 * systemd-journal-upload (or a new, related tool): allow pushing out
56 journal messages onto the network in BSD syslog protocol,
57 continously. Default to some link-local IP mcast group, to make this
58 useful as a one-stop debugging tool.
60 * synchronize console access with BSD locks:
61 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-October/024582.html
63 * as soon as we have kdbus, and sender timestamps, revisit coalescing multiple parallel daemon reloads:
64 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-December/025862.html
66 * 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
68 * the install state probably shouldn't get confused by generated units, think dbus1/kdbus compat!
70 * in systemctl list-unit-files: show the install value the presets would suggest for a service in a third column
72 * we should try harder to collapse start jobs for swaps that end up being the same:
73 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-November/025359.html
75 * timedated should compensate on SetTime for the time spent in polkit
77 * figure out when we can use the coarse timers
79 * sd-resolve: drop res_query wrapping, people should call via the bus to resolved instead
81 * add "systemctl start -v foobar.service" that shows logs of a service
82 while the start command runs. This is non-trivial to do without
83 races though, since we should flush out all journal messages before
84 returning from the "systemctl stop".
86 * 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
88 * timesyncd + resolved: add ugly bus calls to set NTP and DNS servers per-interface, for usage by NM
90 * networkd-wait-online really should have a timeout by default
92 * 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
94 * machined: add an API so that libvirt-lxc can inform us about network interfaces being removed or added to an existing machine
96 * maybe add support for specifier expansion in user.conf, specifically DefaultEnvironment=
98 * code cleanup: retire FOREACH_WORD_QUOTED, port to unquote_first_word() loops instead
100 * introduce systemd-timesync-wait.service or so to sync on an NTP fix?
102 * systemd --user should issue sd_notify() upon reaching basic.target, not on becoming idle
104 * 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
106 * consider showing the unit names during boot up in the status output, not just the unit descriptions
108 * dhcp: do we allow configuring dhcp routes on interfaces that are not the one we got the dhcp info from?
110 * maybe allow timer units with an empty Units= setting, so that they
111 can be used for resuming the system but nothing else.
113 * what to do about udev db binary stability for apps? (raw access is not an option)
115 * maybe provide an API to allow migration of foreign PIDs into existing scopes.
117 * maybe support a new very "soft" reboot mode, that simply kills all processes, disassembles everything, flushes /run and sysvipc, and then reexecs systemd again
119 * man: document that corrupted journal files is nothing to act on
121 * man: maybe use the word "inspect" rather than "introspect"?
123 * "machinectl list" should probably show columns for OS version and IP addresses
125 * systemctl: if some operation fails, show log output?
127 * systemctl edit: add commented help text to the end, like git commit
129 * refcounting in sd-resolve is borked
131 * exponential backoff in timesyncd and resolved when we cannot reach a server
133 * tmpfiles: port to unquote_many_words(), similar to sysusers
135 * unquote_many_words() should probably be used by a lot of code that
136 currently uses FOREACH_WORD and friends. For example, most conf
137 parsing callbacks should use it.
139 * merge ~/.local/share and ~/.local/lib into one similar /usr/lib and /usr/share....
141 * systemd.show_status= should probably have a mode where only failed
145 - add LLDP client side support
146 - the DHCP lease data (such as NTP/DNS) is still made available when
147 a carrier is lost on a link. It should be removed instantly.
148 - .network setting that allows overriding of the hostname to send to the dhcp server
149 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-July/021550.html
150 - expose in the API the following bits:
151 - option 15, domain name and/or option 119, search list
152 - option 12, host name and/or option 81, fqdn
153 - option 100, 101, timezone
154 - option 123, 144, geolocation
155 - option 252, configure http proxy (PAC/wpad)
156 - networkd's dhcp server should transparently pass on the DNS and
157 NTP server list it got from user configuration and its dhcp client
158 to clients. It should also pass on its own timezone information.
159 - provide a way to define a per-network interface default metric value
160 for all routes to it. possibly a second default for DHCP routes.
161 - allow Name= to be specified repeatedly in the [Match] section. Maybe also
162 support Name=foo*|bar*|baz ?
165 - put networkd events and rtnl events at a higher priority, so that
166 we always process them before we process client requests
168 - use base64 for key presentation?
169 - add display of private key types (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4034#appendix-A.1.1)?
170 - add nice formatting of DNS timestamps
175 - DNS-SD service registration from socket units
179 - maybe randomize DNS UDP source ports
180 - maybe compare query section of DNS replies
182 * Allow multiple ExecStart= for all Type= settings, so that we can cover rescue.service nicely
184 * Add a new verb "systemctl top"
186 * add new gpt type for btrfs volumes
188 * support empty /etc boots nicely:
189 - nspawn/gpt-generator: introduce new gpt partition type for /usr
190 - fstab-generator: support systemd.volatile=yes|no|state on the kernel cmdline, too, similar to nspawn's --volatile=
192 * generator that automatically discovers btrfs subvolumes, identifies their purpose based on some xattr on them.
194 * timer units: actually add extra delays to timer units with high AccuracySec values, don't start them already when we are awake...
196 * a way for container managers to turn off getty starting via $container_headless= or so...
198 * figure out a nice way how we can let the admin know what child/sibling unit causes cgroup membership for a specific unit
200 * mount_cgroup_controllers(): symlinks need to get the label applied
202 * For timer units: add some mechanisms so that timer units that trigger immediately on boot do not have the services
203 they run added to the initial transaction and thus confuse Type=idle.
205 * 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)
207 * sd-event: generate a failure of a default event loop is executed out-of-thread
209 * add bus api to query unit file's X fields.
211 * consider adding RuntimeDirectoryUser= + RuntimeDirectoryGroup=
213 * sd-event: define more intervals where we will shift wakeup intervals around in, 1h, 6h, 24h, ...
215 * gpt-auto-generator:
216 - Support LUKS for root devices
217 - Define new partition type for encrypted swap? Support probed LUKS for encrypted swap?
218 - Make /home automount rather than mount?
220 * add generator that pulls in systemd-network from containers when
221 CAP_NET_ADMIN is set, more than the loopback device is defined, even
222 when it is otherwise off
224 * MessageQueueMessageSize= and RLimitFSIZE= (and suchlike) should use parse_iec_size().
226 * "busctl status" works only as root on dbus1, since we cannot read
229 * implement Distribute= in socket units to allow running multiple
230 service instances processing the listening socket, and open this up
233 * socket units: support creating sockets in different namespace,
234 opening it up for JoinsNamespaceOf=. This would require to fork off
235 a tiny process that joins the namespace and creates/binds the socket
236 and passes this back to PID1 via SCM_RIGHTS. This also could be used
237 to allow Chown/chgrp on sockets without requiring NSS in PID 1.
239 * New service property: maximum CPU and wallclock runtime for a service
241 * introduce bus call FreezeUnit(s, b), as well as "systemctl freeze
242 $UNIT" and "systemctl thaw $UNIT" as wrappers around this. The calls
243 should SIGSTOP all unit processes in a loop until all processes of
244 it are fully stopped. This can later be used for app management by
245 desktop UIs such as gnome-shell to freeze apps that are not visible
246 on screen, not unlike how job control works on the shell
249 - manager property enumeration was broken when systemd moved to /usr/lib/
252 - implement per-slice CPUFairScheduling=1 switch
253 - handle jointly mounted controllers correctly
254 - introduce high-level settings for RT budget, swappiness
255 - how to reset dynamically changed unit cgroup attributes sanely?
256 - when reloading configuration, apply new cgroup configuration
257 - when recursively showing the cgroup hierarchy, optionally also show
258 the hierarchies of child processes
261 - allow creating auxiliary units with the same call
262 - add field to transient units that indicate whether systemd or somebody else saves/restores its settings, for integration with libvirt
263 - ensure scope units may be started only a single time
265 * Automatically configure swap partition to use for hibernation by looking for largest swap partition on the root disk?
267 * when we detect low battery and no AC on boot, show pretty splash and refuse boot
269 * machined, localed: when we try to kill an empty cgroup, generate an ESRCH error over the bus
271 * libsystemd-journal, libsystemd-login, libudev: add calls to easily attach these objects to sd-event event loops
273 * be more careful what we export on the bus as (usec_t) 0 and (usec_t) -1
275 * unify dispatch table in systemctl_main() and friends
277 * 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
279 * After coming back from hibernation reset hibernation swap partition using the /dev/snapshot ioctl APIs
281 * If we try to find a unit via a dangling symlink, generate a clean
282 error. Currently, we just ignore it and read the unit from the search
285 * refuse boot if /etc/os-release is missing or /etc/machine-id cannot be set up
287 * btrfs raid assembly: some .device jobs stay stuck in the queue
289 * make sure gdm does not use multi-user-x but the new default X configuration file, and then remove multi-user-x from systemd
291 * man: the documentation of Restart= currently is very misleading and suggests the tools from ExecStartPre= might get restarted.
293 * load .d/*.conf dropins for device units
295 * allow implementation of InaccessibleDirectories=/ plus
296 ReadOnlyDirectories=... for whitelisting files for a service.
299 - kdbus: process fd=-1 for incoming msgs
300 - make dsrt happy, and change userspace header for kdbus to yyyyuta{tv}v
301 - kdbus: PID/TID goes missing for method calls from outside the PID namespace?
302 - kdbus: the kernel should not allow messages to be delivered that have a reply serial != 0, reply-expect unset, but no appropriate window
303 - kdbus: timestamps on kernel's NameOwnerChanged messages?
304 - kdbus' busnames.target should get pulled in by basic.target
305 - Ignore .busname units on classic D-Bus boots, systemd-resolved cannot be started on kdbus
306 without the active policy and should get a Wants=org.freedesktop.resolve1.busname to
308 - port to sd-resolve for connecting to TCP dbus servers
309 - kdbus: maybe add controlling tty metadata fields
310 - 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
311 - when kdbus does not take our message without memfds, try again with memfds
312 - introduce sd_bus_emit_object_added()/sd_bus_emit_object_removed() that automatically includes the build-in interfaces in the list
313 - see if we can drop more message validation on the sending side
314 - add API to clone sd_bus_message objects
315 - make AddMatch calls on dbus1 transports async?
316 - kdbus: matches against source or destination pids for an "strace -p"-like feel. Problem: The PID info needs to be available in userspace too...
317 - longer term: priority inheritance
320 - NameLost/NameAcquired obsolete
323 - update systemd.special(7) to mention that dbus.socket is only about the compatibility socket now
324 - test bloom filter generation indexes
325 - bus-proxy: when passing messages from kdbus, make sure we properly
326 handle the case where a large number of fds is appended that we
327 cannot pass into sendmsg() of the AF_UNIX sokcet (which only accepts
329 - kdbus: introduce a concept of "send-only" connections
330 - 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.
333 - allow multiple signal handlers per signal?
334 - document chaining of signal handler for SIGCHLD and child handlers
336 * in the final killing spree, detect processes from the root directory, and
337 complain loudly if they have argv[0][0] == '@' set.
338 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=961044
340 * investigate endianness issues of UUID vs. GUID
342 * dbus: when a unit failed to load (i.e. is in UNIT_ERROR state), we
343 should be able to safely try another attempt when the bus call LoadUnit() is invoked.
345 * add a pam module that passes the hdd passphrase into the PAM stack and then expires it, for usage by gdm auto-login.
347 * add a pam module that on password changes updates any LUKS slot where the password matches
349 * maybe add a generator that looks for "systemd.run=" on the kernel cmdline for container usercases...
351 * cgtop: make cgtop useful in a container
354 - add 'set -e' to scripts in test/
355 - make stuff in test/ work with separate output dir
357 * seems that when we follow symlinks to units we prefer the symlink
358 destination path over /etc and /usr. We should not do that. Instead
359 /etc should always override /run+/usr and also any symlink
362 * when isolating, try to figure out a way how we implicitly can order
363 all units we stop before the isolating unit...
365 * teach ConditionKernelCommandLine= globs or regexes (in order to match foobar={no,0,off})
367 * after all byte-wise realloc() is slow, even on glibc, so i guess we
368 need manual exponential loops after all
370 * BootLoaderSpec: Clarify that the kernel has to be in $BOOT. Clarify
371 that the boot loader should be installed to the ESP. Define a way
372 how an installer can figure out whether a BLS compliant boot loader
375 * think about requeuing jobs when daemon-reload is issued? usecase:
376 the initrd issues a reload after fstab from the host is accessible
377 and we might want to requeue the mounts local-fs acquired through
380 * systemd-inhibit: make taking delay locks useful: support sending SIGINT or SIGTERM on PrepareForSleep()
382 * journal-or-kmsg is currently broken? See reverted commit 4a01181e460686d8b4a543b1dfa7f77c9e3c5ab8.
384 * remove any syslog support from log.c -- we probably cannot do this before split-off udev is gone for good
386 * shutdown logging: store to EFI var, and store to USB stick?
388 * write UI tool that pops up emergency messages from the journal as notification
390 * think about window-manager-run-as-user-service problem: exit 0 → activate shutdown.target; exit != 0 → restart service
392 * merge unit_kill_common() and unit_kill_context()
394 * introduce ExecCondition= in services
397 - honor language efi variables for default language selection (if there are any?)
398 - honor timezone efi variables for default timezone selection (if there are any?)
399 - change bootctl to be backed by systemd-bootd to control temporary and persistent default boot goal plus efi variables
401 * maybe do not install getty@tty1.service symlink in /etc but in /usr?
403 * re-enable "make check" for gtk-doc (broken for unknown reason)
405 * fstab: add new mount option x-systemd-after=/foobar/waldo to allow manual dependencies to other mount points
406 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=812826
408 * print a nicer explanation if people use variable/specifier expansion in ExecStart= for the first word
410 * mount: turn dependency information from /proc/self/mountinfo into dependency information between systemd units.
413 - logind: optionally, ignore idle-hint logic for autosuspend, block suspend as long as a session is around
414 - When we update the kernel all kind of hibernation should be prohibited until shutdown/reboot
415 - logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
416 - Add pretty name for seats in logind
417 - logind: allow showing logout dialog from system?
418 - we should probably handle SIGTERM/SIGINT to not leave dot files around, just in case
419 - session scopes/user unit: add RequiresMountsFor for the home directory of the user
420 - add Suspend() bus calls which take timestamps to fix double suspend issues when somebody hits suspend and closes laptop quickly.
421 - if pam_systemd is invoked by su from a process that is outside of a
422 any session we should probably just become a NOP, since that's
423 usually not a real user session but just some system code that just
425 - logind: make the Suspend()/Hibernate() bus calls wait for the for
426 the job to be completed. before returning, so that clients can wait
427 for "systemctl suspend" to finish to know when the suspending is
429 - logind: when the power button is pressed short, just popup a
430 logout dialog. If it is pressed for 1s, do the usual
431 shutdown. Inspiration are Macs here.
432 - logind: allow users to kill or lock their own sessions
433 - expose "Locked" property on logind sesison objects
434 - given that logind now lets PID 1 do all nasty work, we can
435 probably reduce the capability set it retains substantially.
436 (we need CAP_SYS_ADMIN for drmSetMaster(), so maybe not worth it)
437 - expose orientation sensors and tablet mode through logind
439 * exec: when deinitializating a tty device fix the perms and group, too, not only when initializing. Set access mode/gid to 0620/tty.
441 * service: watchdog logic: for testing purposes allow ping, but do not require pong
444 - consider introducing implicit _TTY= + _PPID= + _EUID= + _EGID= + _FSUID= + _FSGID= fields
445 - import and delete pstore filesystem content at startup
446 - journald: also get thread ID from client, plus thread name
447 - journal: when waiting for journal additions in the client always sleep at least 1s or so, in order to minimize wakeups
448 - add API to close/reopen/get fd for journal client fd in libsystemd-journal.
449 - fallback to /dev/log based logging in libsystemd-journal, if we cannot log natively?
450 - declare the local journal protocol stable in the wiki interface chart
451 - journal: reuse XZ context
452 - sd-journal: speed up sd_journal_get_data() with transparent hash table in bg
453 - journald: when dropping msgs due to ratelimit make sure to write
454 "dropped %u messages" not only when we are about to print the next
455 message that works, but alraedy after a short tiemout
456 - check if we can make journalctl by default use --follow mode inside of less if called without args?
457 - maybe add API to send pairs of iovecs via sd_journal_send
458 - journal: when writing journal auto-rotate if time jumps backwards
459 - journal: add a setgid "systemd-journal" utility to invoke from libsystemd-journal, which passes fds via STDOUT and does PK access
460 - journactl: support negative filtering, i.e. FOOBAR!="waldo",
461 and !FOOBAR for events without FOOBAR.
462 - journal: send out marker messages every now and then, and immediately sync with fdatasync() afterwards, in order to have hourly guaranteed syncs.
463 - 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.
464 - journal: find a way to allow dropping history early, based on priority, other rules
465 - journal: When used on NFS, check payload hashes
466 - journal live copy, based on libneon (client) and libmicrohttpd (server)
467 - journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
468 - refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
469 - journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
470 - journal: deal nicely with byte-by-byte copied files, especially regards header
471 - journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the components would fit
472 - Replace utmp, wtmp, btmp, and lastlog completely with journal
473 - journalctl: instead --after-cursor= maybe have a --cursor=XYZ+1 syntax?
474 - when a kernel driver logs in a tight loop, we should ratelimit that too.
475 - journald: optionally, log debug messages to /run but everything else to /var
476 - journald: when we drop syslog messages because the syslog socket is
477 full, make sure to write how many messages are lost as first thing
478 to syslog when it works again.
479 - journald: make sure ratelimit is actually really per-service with the new cgroup changes
480 - change systemd-journal-flush into a service that stays around during
481 boot, and causes the journal to be moved back to /run on shutdown,
482 so that we do not keep /var busy. This needs to happen synchronously,
483 hence doing this via signals is not going to work.
484 - optionally support running journald from the command line for testing purposes in external projects
485 - journald: allow per-priority and per-service retention times when rotating/vacuuming
486 - journald: make use of uid-range.h to managed uid ranges to split
488 - journalctl: add the ability to look for the most recent process of a binary. journalctl /usr/bin/X11 --pid=-1 or so...
489 - improve journalctl performance by loading journal files
490 lazily. Encode just enough information in the file name, so that we
491 do not have to open it to know that it is not interesting for us, for
492 the most common operations.
495 - document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fields in
496 [Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
497 - man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
498 - document the exit codes when services fail before they are exec()ed
499 - document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
500 - document in wiki how to map ical recurrence events to systemd timer unit calendar specifications
501 - add a man page containing packaging guidelines and recommending usage of things like Documentation=, PrivateTmp=, PrivateNetwork= and ReadOnlyDirectories=/etc /usr.
502 - document systemd-journal-flush.service properly
503 - documentation: recommend to connect the timer units of a service to the service via Also= in [Install]
504 - man: document the very specific env the shutdown drop-in tools live in
505 - man: extend runlevel(8) to mention that runlevels suck, and are dead. Maybe add runlevel(7) with a note about that too
506 - man: add more examples to man pages
507 - man: maybe sort directives in man pages, and take sections from --help and apply them to man too
510 - systemctl list-jobs - show dependencies
511 - add systemctl switch to dump transaction without executing it
512 - Add a verbose mode to "systemctl start" and friends that explains what is being done or not done
513 - "systemctl disable" on a static unit prints no message and does
514 nothing. "systemctl enable" does nothing, and gives a bad message
515 about it. Should fix both to print nice actionable messages.
516 - print nice message from systemctl --failed if there are no entries shown, and hook that into ExecStartPre of rescue.service/emergency.service
517 - add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
518 - systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into does not exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
519 - systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
520 - support "systemctl stop foobar@.service" to stop all units matching a certain template
521 - Something is wrong with symlink handling of "autovt@.service" in "systemctl list-unit-files"
522 - better error message if you run systemctl without systemd running
523 - systemctl status output should should include list of triggering units and their status
526 - "systemctl mask" should find all names by which a unit is accessible
527 (i.e. by scanning for symlinks to it) and link them all to /dev/null
528 - systemctl list-unit-files should list generated files (and probably with a new state "generated" for them, or so)
531 - timer units should get the ability to trigger when:
532 o CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (TFD_TIMER_CANCEL_ON_SET)
534 - Support 2012-02~4 as syntax for specifying the fourth to last day of the month.
535 - calendarspec: support value ranges with ".." notation. Example: 2013-4..8-1
536 - 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
537 - Modulate timer frequency based on battery state
539 * add libsystemd-password or so to query passwords during boot using the password agent logic
541 * 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().
543 * fedup: add --unit to systemctl switch-root somehow
544 * fedup: do not delete initrd on switch-root
547 * clean up date formatting and parsing so that all absolute/relative timestamps we format can also be parsed
549 * on shutdown: move utmp, wall, audit logic all into PID 1 (or logind?), get rid of systemd-update-utmp-runlevel
551 * make repeated alt-ctrl-del presses printing a dump, or even force a reboot without
552 waiting for the timeout
554 * hostnamed: before returning information from /etc/machine-info.conf check the modification data and reread. Similar for localed, ...
556 * currently x-systemd.timeout is lost in the initrd, since crypttab is copied into dracut, but fstab is not
559 - bind mount read-only the cgroup tree higher than nspawn
560 - refuses to boot containers without /etc/machine-id (OK?), and with empty /etc/machine-id (not OK).
561 - support taking a btrfs snapshot at startup and dropping it afterwards
562 - introduce machines.target to order after all nspawn instances
563 - systemd-nspawn@.service should fail if some nspawn arg is invalid, with Type=notify
564 - PID 1 doesn't apply nspawns devices cgroup policy
567 - cryptsetup-generator: allow specification of passwords in crypttab itself
568 - move cryptsetup key caching into kernel keyctl?
569 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54982
570 - support rd.luks.allow-discards= kernel cmdline params in cryptsetup generator
572 * hw watchdog: optionally try to use the preset watchdog timeout instead of always overriding it
573 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54712
575 * after deserializing sockets in socket.c we should reapply sockopts and things
577 * make timer units go away after they elapsed
579 * move PID 1 segfaults to /var/lib/systemd/coredump?
581 * create /sbin/init symlinks from the build system
583 * allow writing multiple conditions in unit files on one line
585 * MountFlags=shared acts as MountFlags=slave right now.
587 * drop PID 1 reloading, only do reexecing (difficult: Reload()
588 currently is properly synchronous, Reexec() is weird, because we
589 cannot delay the response properly until we are back, so instead of
590 being properly synchronous we just keep open the fd and close it
591 when done. That means clients do not get a successful method reply,
592 but much rather a disconnect on success.
594 * properly handle loop back mounts via fstab, especially regards to fsck/passno
596 * initialize the hostname from the fs label of /, if /etc/hostname does not exist?
598 * rename "userspace" to "core-os"
600 * load-fragment: when loading a unit file via a chain of symlinks
601 verify that it is not masked via any of the names traversed.
603 * introduce Type=pid-file
605 * change Requires=basic.target to RequisiteOverride=basic.target
607 * when breaking cycles drop sysv services first, then services from /run, then from /etc, then from /usr
609 * automount: implement expire:
610 - set superblock timeout AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_TIMEOUT_CMD
611 - periodically run AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_EXPIRE_CMD
612 - every timeout/4 (original autofs logic)
613 - blocking, needs a thread
615 - receive expire packet on pipe if kernel tells the timeout is over
617 - answer expire packet on pipe with AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_{READY,FAIL}_CMD
618 - AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_EXPIRE_CMD returns
620 * ExecOnFailure=/usr/bin/foo
625 - add trigger --subsystem-match=usb/usb_device device
626 - reimport udev db after MOVE events for devices without dev_t
628 * 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
630 * introduce mix of BindTo and Requisite
632 * There's currently no way to cancel fsck (used to be possible via C-c or c on the console)
634 * add option to sockets to avoid activation. Instead just drop packets/connections, see http://cyberelk.net/tim/2012/02/15/portreserve-systemd-solution/
636 * default unix qlen is too small (10). bump sysctl? add sockopt?
638 * save coredump in Windows/Mozilla minidump format
640 * support crash reporting operation modes (https://live.gnome.org/GnomeOS/Design/Whiteboards/ProblemReporting)
642 * default to actual 32-bit PIDs, via /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max
644 * be able to specify a forced restart of service A where service B depends on, in case B
645 needs to be auto-respawned?
647 * when a bus name of a service disappears from the bus make sure to queue further activation requests
650 - apply "x" on "D" too (see patch from William Douglas)
652 * for services: do not set $HOME in services unless requested
654 * hide PAM options in fragment parser when compile time disabled
656 * when we automatically restart a service, ensure we restart its rdeps, too.
658 * allow Type=simple with PIDFile=
659 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=723942
661 * move PAM code into its own binary
663 * implement Register= switch in .socket units to enable registration
664 in Avahi, RPC and other socket registration services.
666 * make sure systemd-ask-password-wall does not shutdown systemd-ask-password-console too early
668 * add ReloadSignal= for configuring a reload signal to use
670 * verify that the AF_UNIX sockets of a service in the fs still exist
671 when we start a service in order to avoid confusion when a user
672 assumes starting a service is enough to make it accessible
674 * Make it possible to set the keymap independently from the font on
675 the kernel cmdline. Right now setting one resets also the other.
677 * and a dbus call to generate target from current state
679 * GC unreferenced jobs (such as .device jobs)
681 * write blog stories about:
682 - hwdb: what belongs into it, lsusb

701 * allow port=0 in .socket units
703 * recreate systemd's D-Bus private socket file on SIGUSR2
705 * Support --test based on current system state
707 * investigate whether the gnome pty helper should be moved into systemd, to provide cgroup support.
709 * maybe introduce ExecRestartPre=
711 * dot output for --test showing the 'initial transaction'
713 * fingerprint.target, wireless.target, gps.target, netdevice.target

752 - export timezone information
753 - support RFC4702 (pass FQDN)
756 - add functions to set previously stored IPv6 addresses on startup and get
757 them at shutdown; store them in client->ia_na
758 - write more test cases
759 - implement and do duplicate address detection, see rfc 4862, 5.4.

776 * fix alsa mixer restore to not print error when no config is stored
778 * make cryptsetup lower --iter-time
780 * patch kernel for xattr support in /dev, /proc/, /sys?
782 * kernel: add device_type = "fb", "fbcon" to class "graphics"
784 * drop accountsservice's StandardOutput=syslog and Type=dbus fields
786 * dbus upstream still refers to dbus.target and should not
788 * dbus: in fedora, make /var/lib/dbus/machine-id a symlink to /etc/machine-id
790 * add "# export SYSTEMD_PAGER=" to bash login
792 * /usr/bin/service should actually show the new command line
794 * 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=
796 * fedora: F20: go timer units all the way, leave cron.daily for cron
798 * neither pkexec nor sudo initialize environ[] from the PAM environment?
800 * fedora: update policy to declare access mode and ownership of unit files to root:root 0644, and add an rpmlint check for it
802 * register catalog database signature as file magic
804 * zsh shell completion:
805 - <command> <verb> -<TAB> should complete options, but currently does not
806 - systemctl add-wants,add-requires
811 * look for close() vs. close_nointr() vs. close_nointr_nofail()
813 * check for strerror(r) instead of strerror(-r)
815 * Use PR_SET_PROCTITLE_AREA if it becomes available in the kernel

825 Scheduled for removal or fixing:
827 * xxxOverridable dependencies (probably: fix)
