2 * Re-enable "fsck -l" when it is ready:
3 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=79576#c5
5 * Should systemctl status \* work on all unit types, not just .service?
7 * Dangling symlinks of .automount unit files in .wants/ directories, set up
8 automount points even when the original .automount file did not exist
9 anymore. Only the .mount unit was still around.
11 * properly handle .mount unit state tracking when two mount points are stacked one on top of another on the exact same mount point.
14 * Fedora: when installing fedora with yum --installroot /var/run is a directory, not a symlink
15 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=975864
17 * Fedora: add an rpmlint check that verifies that all unit files in the RPM are listed in %systemd_post macros.
19 * Fedora: post FPC ticket to move add %tmpfiles_create to the packaging guidelines
21 * Fedora: move kernel image to /usr/lib/modules/, kernel-install will take care of populating /boot
23 * Fedora: remove /etc/resolv.conf tmpfiles hack
27 * journald: allows specification of UID range for splitting up journal files
29 * systemd.show_status= should probably have a mode where only failed
32 * sd-event: - make it possible to embedd our event loop into foreign
33 event loops by passing out the epoll fd and providing three functions
34 that fit into GSource nicely.
38 - ipv4ll with multiple interfaces doesn't work when both dhcp and
39 ipv4ll is used. for some reasons the kernel will currently pick an
40 ipv4ll source address to reach non-ipv4ll gateways.
41 - dhcp and ipv4ll should probably be skipped for "lo" devices, even
42 if the user has a catchall .network file installed, that might
43 theoretically match it.
44 - we probably should introduce a new operational state that
45 indicates that we are trying to acquire some configuration for a
46 link but haven't acquired any yet. Just to inform the admin that
47 networkd cares about an interface, but is still in progress..
48 - the DHCP lease data (such as NTP/DNS) is still made available when
49 a carrier is lost on a link. It should be removed instantly.
50 - .network setting that allows overriding of the hostname to send to the dhcp server
51 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-July/021550.html
52 - add per-network Domains= settings, with a special syntax Domains=*
53 for routing all non-otherwise routed traffic to this link
54 - add UseDomains= setting to [DHCP] to add dhcp supplied domains to
55 per-interface Domains= list.
56 - expose in the API the following bits:
57 - option 15, domain name and/or option 119, search list
58 - option 12, host name and/or option 81, fqdn
59 - option 100, 101, timezone
60 - option 123, 144, geolocation
61 - option 252, configure http proxy (PAC/wpad)
62 - networkd's dhcp server should transparently pass on the DNS and
63 NTP server list it got from user configuration and its dhcp client
64 to clients. It should also pass on its own timezone information.
65 - provide a way to define a per-network interface default metric value
66 for all routes to it. possibly a second default for DHCP routes.
69 - put networkd events and rtnl events at a higher priority, so that
70 we always process them before we process client requests
72 - use base64 for key presentation?
73 - add display of private key types (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4034#appendix-A.1.1)?
74 - add nice formatting of DNS timestamps
79 - DNS-SD service registration from socket units
84 * Ignore .busname units on classic D-Bus boots, systemd-resolved cannot be started on kdbus
85 without the active policy and should get a Wants=org.freedesktop.resolve1.busname to
88 * Allow multiple ExecStart= for all Type= settings, so that we can cover rescue.service nicely
90 * the resolv.conf tmpfiles line should be covered by ENABLE_NETWORKD...
93 - also create entries in /etc/shadow, /etc/gshadow
94 - allow setting the home directory of system users
95 - allow configuration of ranges to allocate items in
96 - add mode where we read sysusers data from stdin, so that we can run this from rpm scriptlets
98 * Add a new verb "systemctl top"
100 * logind: allow users to kill or lock their own sessions
102 * add new gpt type for btrfs volumes
104 * support empty /etc boots nicely:
105 - nspawn/gpt-generator: introduce new gpt partition type for /usr
106 - fstab-generator: support systemd.volatile=yes|no|state on the kernel cmdline, too, similar to nspawn's --volatile=
107 - fstab-generator: add support for usr= in addition to root= on the kernel cmdline
109 * generator that automatically discovers btrfs subvolumes, identifies their purpose based on some xattr on them.
111 * support setting empty environment variables with Environment= and EnvironmentFile=
113 * machined/machinectl: sort IP addresses we return by scope and protocol
114 * machined: write NSS module for looking up IP addresses for machines
116 * timer units: actually add extra delays to timer units with high AccuracySec values, don't start them already when we are awake...
118 * a way for container managers to turn off getty starting via $container_headless= or so...
120 * figure out a nice way how we can let the admin know what child/sibling unit causes cgroup membership for a specific unit
122 * journalctl: add the ability to look for the most recent process of a binary. journalctl /usr/bin/X11 --pid=-1 or so...
124 * set NOTIFY_SOCKET also for control processes
126 * mount_cgroup_controllers(): symlinks need to get the label applied
128 * For timer units: add some mechanisms so that timer units that trigger immediately on boot do not have the services
129 they run added to the initial transaction and thus confuse Type=idle.
131 * Add timeout to early-boot, and shut down the system if it is hit. Solves the laptop-in-bag problem and is useful for embedded cases
133 * 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)
135 * sd-event: generate a failure of a default event loop is executed out-of-thread
137 * expose "Locked" property on logind sesison objects
139 * add bus api to query unit file's X fields.
141 * consider adding RuntimeDirectoryUser= + RuntimeDirectoryGroup=
143 * sd-event: define more intervals where we will shift wakeup intervals around in, 1h, 6h, 24h, ...
145 * gpt-auto-generator:
146 - Support LUKS for root devices
147 - Define new partition type for encrypted swap? Support probed LUKS for encrypted swap?
148 - Make /home automount rather than mount?
150 * improve journalctl performance by loading journal files
151 lazily. Encode just enough information in the file name, so that we
152 do not have to open it to know that it is not interesting for us, for
153 the most common operations.
155 * add generator that pulls in systemd-network from containers when
156 CAP_NET_ADMIN is set, more than the loopback device is defined, even
157 when it is otherwise off
159 * MessageQueueMessageSize= and RLimitFSIZE= (and suchlike) should use parse_iec_size().
161 * "busctl status" works only as root on dbus1, since we cannot read
164 * implement Distribute= in socket units to allow running multiple
165 service instances processing the listening socket, and open this up
168 * socket units: support creating sockets in different namespace,
169 opening it up for JoinsNamespaceOf=. This would require to fork off
170 a tiny process that joins the namespace and creates/binds the socket
171 and passes this back to PID1 via SCM_RIGHTS. This also could be used
172 to allow Chown/chgrp on sockets without requiring NSS in PID 1.
174 * New service property: maximum CPU and wallclock runtime for a service
176 * introduce bus call FreezeUnit(s, b), as well as "systemctl freeze
177 $UNIT" and "systemctl thaw $UNIT" as wrappers around this. The calls
178 should SIGSTOP all unit processes in a loop until all processes of
179 it are fully stopped. This can later be used for app management by
180 desktop UIs such as gnome-shell to freeze apps that are not visible
181 on screen, not unlike how job control works on the shell
184 - manager property enumeration was broken when systemd moved to /usr/lib/
187 - implement per-slice CPUFairScheduling=1 switch
188 - handle jointly mounted controllers correctly
189 - introduce high-level settings for RT budget, swappiness
190 - how to reset dynamically changed unit cgroup attributes sanely?
191 - when reloading configuration, apply new cgroup configuration
192 - when recursively showing the cgroup hierarchy, optionally also show
193 the hierarchies of child processes
196 - allow creating auxiliary units with the same call
197 - add field to transient units that indicate whether systemd or somebody else saves/restores its settings, for integration with libvirt
198 - ensure scope units may be started only a single time
200 * Automatically configure swap partition to use for hibernation by looking for largest swap partition on the root disk?
202 * when we detect low battery and no AC on boot, show pretty splash and refuse boot
204 * machined, localed: when we try to kill an empty cgroup, generate an ESRCH error over the bus
206 * libsystemd-journal, libsystemd-login, libudev: add calls to easily attach these objects to sd-event event loops
208 * be more careful what we export on the bus as (usec_t) 0 and (usec_t) -1
210 * unify dispatch table in systemctl_main() and friends
212 * Automatically configure swap partition to use for hibernation by looking for largest swap partition on the root disk?
214 * 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
216 * After coming back from hibernation reset hibernation swap partition using the /dev/snapshot ioctl APIs
218 * If we try to find a unit via a dangling symlink, generate a clean
219 error. Currently, we just ignore it and read the unit from the search
222 * refuse boot if /etc/os-release is missing or /etc/machine-id cannot be set up
224 * given that logind now lets PID 1 do all nasty work, we can
225 probably reduce the capability set it retains substantially.
226 (we need CAP_SYS_ADMIN for drmSetMaster(), so maybe not worth it)
228 * btrfs raid assembly: some .device jobs stay stuck in the queue
230 * make sure gdm does not use multi-user-x but the new default X configuration file, and then remove multi-user-x from systemd
232 * man: the documentation of Restart= currently is very misleading and suggests the tools from ExecStartPre= might get restarted.
234 * load .d/*.conf dropins for device units
236 * allow implementation of InaccessibleDirectories=/ plus
237 ReadOnlyDirectories=... for whitelisting files for a service.
240 - when kdbus does not take our message without memfds, try again with memfds
241 - systemd-bus-proxyd needs to enforce good old XML policy
242 - allow updating attach flags during runtime
243 - pid1: peek into activating message when activating a service
244 - introduce sd_bus_emit_object_added()/sd_bus_emit_object_removed() that automatically includes the build-in interfaces in the list
245 - port to sd-resolve for connecting to TCP dbus servers
246 - see if we can drop more message validation on the sending side
247 - add API to clone sd_bus_message objects
248 - make AddMatch calls on dbus1 transports async?
249 - kdbus: matches against source or destination pids for an "strace -p"-like feel. Problem: The PID info needs to be available in userspace too...
250 - longer term: priority inheritance
253 - NameLost/NameAcquired obsolete
255 - "const" properties (posted)
257 - update systemd.special(7) to mention that dbus.socket is only about the compatibility socket now
258 - test bloom filter generation indexes
261 - allow multiple signal handlers per signal?
263 * in the final killing spree, detect processes from the root directory, and
264 complain loudly if they have argv[0][0] == '@' set.
265 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=961044
267 * investigate endianness issues of UUID vs. GUID
269 * dbus: when a unit failed to load (i.e. is in UNIT_ERROR state), we
270 should be able to safely try another attempt when the bus call LoadUnit() is invoked.
272 * add a pam module that passes the hdd passphrase into the PAM stack and then expires it, for usage by gdm auto-login.
274 * add a pam module that on password changes updates any LUKS slot where the password matches
276 * maybe add a generator that looks for "systemd.run=" on the kernel cmdline for container usercases...
278 * timedatctl, localectl: possibly make some commands work without the daemon, for chroot situations...
280 * timedatectl: print a nicer message when enabling ntp fails because ntpd/chrony are not installed
282 * cgtop: make cgtop useful in a container
285 - add 'set -e' to scripts in test/
286 - make stuff in test/ work with separate output dir
288 * seems that when we follow symlinks to units we prefer the symlink
289 destination path over /etc and /usr. We should not do that. Instead
290 /etc should always override /run+/usr and also any symlink
293 * when isolating, try to figure out a way how we implicitly can order
294 all units we stop before the isolating unit...
296 * teach ConditionKernelCommandLine= globs or regexes (in order to match foobar={no,0,off})
298 * after all byte-wise realloc() is slow, even on glibc, so i guess we
299 need manual exponential loops after all
301 * BootLoaderSpec: Clarify that the kernel has to be in $BOOT. Clarify
302 that the boot loader should be installed to the ESP. Define a way
303 how an installer can figure out whether a BLS compliant boot loader
306 * think about requeuing jobs when daemon-reload is issued? usecase:
307 the initrd issues a reload after fstab from the host is accessible
308 and we might want to requeue the mounts local-fs acquired through
311 * systemd-inhibit: make taking delay locks useful: support sending SIGINT or SIGTERM on PrepareForSleep()
313 * journal-or-kmsg is currently broken? See reverted commit 4a01181e460686d8b4a543b1dfa7f77c9e3c5ab8.
315 * remove any syslog support from log.c -- we probably cannot do this before split-off udev is gone for good
317 * shutdown logging: store to EFI var, and store to USB stick?
319 * write UI tool that pops up emergency messages from the journal as notification
321 * think about window-manager-run-as-user-service problem: exit 0 → activate shutdown.target; exit != 0 → restart service
323 * use "log level" rather than "log priority" everywhere
325 * merge unit_kill_common() and unit_kill_context()
327 * introduce ExecCondition= in services
330 - honor language efi variables for default language selection (if there are any?)
331 - honor timezone efi variables for default timezone selection (if there are any?)
332 - change bootctl to be backed by systemd-bootd to control temporary and persistent default boot goal plus efi variables
334 * maybe do not install getty@tty1.service symlink in /etc but in /usr?
336 * re-enable "make check" for gtk-doc (broken for unknown reason)
338 * fstab: add new mount option x-systemd-after=/foobar/waldo to allow manual dependencies to other mount points
339 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=812826
341 * print a nicer explanation if people use variable/specifier expansion in ExecStart= for the first word
343 * mount: turn dependency information from /proc/self/mountinfo into dependency information between systemd units.
346 - logind: optionally, ignore idle-hint logic for autosuspend, block suspend as long as a session is around
347 - When we update the kernel all kind of hibernation should be prohibited until shutdown/reboot
348 - logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
349 - Add pretty name for seats in logind
350 - logind: allow showing logout dialog from system?
351 - we should probably handle SIGTERM/SIGINT to not leave dot files around, just in case
352 - session scopes/user unit: add RequiresMountsFor for the home directory of the user
353 - add Suspend() bus calls which take timestamps to fix double suspend issues when somebody hits suspend and closes laptop quickly.
354 - if pam_systemd is invoked by su from a process that is outside of a
355 any session we should probably just become a NOP, since that's
356 usually not a real user session but just some system code that just
359 * exec: when deinitializating a tty device fix the perms and group, too, not only when initializing. Set access mode/gid to 0620/tty.
361 * service: watchdog logic: for testing purposes allow ping, but do not require pong
364 - import and delete pstore filesystem content at startup
365 - journald: also get thread ID from client, plus thread name
366 - journal: when waiting for journal additions in the client always sleep at least 1s or so, in order to minimize wakeups
367 - add API to close/reopen/get fd for journal client fd in libsystemd-journal.
368 - fallback to /dev/log based logging in libsystemd-journal, if we cannot log natively?
369 - declare the local journal protocol stable in the wiki interface chart
370 - journal: reuse XZ context
371 - sd-journal: speed up sd_journal_get_data() with transparent hash table in bg
372 - journald: when dropping msgs due to ratelimit make sure to write
373 "dropped %u messages" not only when we are about to print the next
374 message that works, but alraedy after a short tiemout
375 - check if we can make journalctl by default use --follow mode inside of less if called without args?
376 - maybe add API to send pairs of iovecs via sd_journal_send
377 - journal: when writing journal auto-rotate if time jumps backwards
378 - journal: add a setgid "systemd-journal" utility to invoke from libsystemd-journal, which passes fds via STDOUT and does PK access
379 - journactl: support negative filtering, i.e. FOOBAR!="waldo",
380 and !FOOBAR for events without FOOBAR.
381 - journal: send out marker messages every now and then, and immediately sync with fdatasync() afterwards, in order to have hourly guaranteed syncs.
382 - 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.
383 - journal: find a way to allow dropping history early, based on priority, other rules
384 - journal: When used on NFS, check payload hashes
385 - journald: check whether it is OK if the client can still modify delivered journal entries
386 - journal live copy, based on libneon (client) and libmicrohttpd (server)
387 - journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
388 - refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
389 - journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
390 - journal: deal nicely with byte-by-byte copied files, especially regards header
391 - journal: store euid in journal if it differs from uid
392 - journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the components would fit
393 - Replace utmp, wtmp, btmp, and lastlog completely with journal
394 - journalctl: instead --after-cursor= maybe have a --cursor=XYZ+1 syntax?
395 - tmpfiles: when applying ownership to /run/log/journal, also do this for the journal fails contained in it
396 - when a kernel driver logs in a tight loop, we should ratelimit that too.
397 - journald: optionally, log debug messages to /run but everything else to /var
398 - journald: when we drop syslog messages because the syslog socket is
399 full, make sure to write how many messages are lost as first thing
400 to syslog when it works again.
401 - journald: make sure ratelimit is actually really per-service with the new cgroup changes
402 - change systemd-journal-flush into a service that stays around during
403 boot, and causes the journal to be moved back to /run on shutdown,
404 so that we do not keep /var busy. This needs to happen synchronously,
405 hence doing this via signals is not going to work.
408 - document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fields in
409 [Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
410 - man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
411 - document the exit codes when services fail before they are exec()ed
412 - document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
413 - document in wiki how to map ical recurrence events to systemd timer unit calendar specifications
414 - add a man page containing packaging guidelines and recommending usage of things like Documentation=, PrivateTmp=, PrivateNetwork= and ReadOnlyDirectories=/etc /usr.
415 - document systemd-journal-flush.service properly
416 - documentation: recommend to connect the timer units of a service to the service via Also= in [Install]
417 - man: document the very specific env the shutdown drop-in tools live in
418 - man: extend runlevel(8) to mention that runlevels suck, and are dead. Maybe add runlevel(7) with a note about that too
419 - man: add more examples to man pages
420 - man: maybe sort directives in man pages, and take sections from --help and apply them to man too
423 - systemctl list-jobs - show dependencies
424 - add systemctl switch to dump transaction without executing it
425 - Add a verbose mode to "systemctl start" and friends that explains what is being done or not done
426 - "systemctl disable" on a static unit prints no message and does
427 nothing. "systemctl enable" does nothing, and gives a bad message
428 about it. Should fix both to print nice actionable messages.
429 - print nice message from systemctl --failed if there are no entries shown, and hook that into ExecStartPre of rescue.service/emergency.service
430 - add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
431 - systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into does not exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
432 - systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
433 - support "systemctl stop foobar@.service" to stop all units matching a certain template
434 - Something is wrong with symlink handling of "autovt@.service" in "systemctl list-unit-files"
435 - better error message if you run systemctl without systemd running
436 - systemctl status output should should include list of triggering units and their status
439 - "systemctl mask" should find all names by which a unit is accessible
440 (i.e. by scanning for symlinks to it) and link them all to /dev/null
441 - systemctl list-unit-files should list generated files (and probably with a new state "generated" for them, or so)
442 - systemctl: maybe add "systemctl add-wants" or so...
445 - timer units should get the ability to trigger when:
446 o CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (TFD_TIMER_CANCEL_ON_SET)
448 - Support 2012-02~4 as syntax for specifying the fourth to last day of the month.
449 - calendarspec: support value ranges with ".." notation. Example: 2013-4..8-1
450 - 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
451 - Modulate timer frequency based on battery state
453 * update the kernel's TZ (sys_tz) when DST changes
455 * sync down the system time to the RTC when:
456 - CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (the user explicitely requested a time set)
457 - DST/timezone changes && ntp is active && RTC-in-localtime (never do it without ntp)
458 This takes care of syncing ntpdate updates to the RTC, and DST updates for localtime
459 mode, it will never touch the RTC if the no reliable time source is active or the
460 user did not request anything like it.
462 * add libsystemd-password or so to query passwords during boot using the password agent logic
464 * 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().
466 * fedup: add --unit to systemctl switch-root somehow
467 * fedup: do not delete initrd on switch-root
470 * clean up date formatting and parsing so that all absolute/relative timestamps we format can also be parsed
472 * on shutdown: move utmp, wall, audit logic all into PID 1 (or logind?), get rid of systemd-update-utmp-runlevel
474 * make repeated alt-ctrl-del presses printing a dump, or even force a reboot without
475 waiting for the timeout
477 * hostnamed: before returning information from /etc/machine-info.conf check the modification data and reread. Similar for localed, ...
479 * currently x-systemd.timeout is lost in the initrd, since crypttab is copied into dracut, but fstab is not
482 - bind mount read-only the cgroup tree higher than nspawn
483 - refuses to boot containers without /etc/machine-id (OK?), and with empty /etc/machine-id (not OK).
484 - support taking a btrfs snapshot at startup and dropping it afterwards
487 - cryptsetup-generator: allow specification of passwords in crypttab itself
488 - move cryptsetup key caching into kernel keyctl?
489 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54982
490 - support rd.luks.allow-discards= kernel cmdline params in cryptsetup generator
492 * hw watchdog: optionally try to use the preset watchdog timeout instead of always overriding it
493 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54712
495 * after deserializing sockets in socket.c we should reapply sockopts and things
497 * make timer units go away after they elapsed
499 * come up with a nice way to write queue/read_ahead_kb for a block device without interfering with readahead
501 * move PID 1 segfaults to /var/lib/systemd/coredump?
503 * create /sbin/init symlinks from the build system
505 * allow writing multiple conditions in unit files on one line
507 * MountFlags=shared acts as MountFlags=slave right now.
509 * drop PID 1 reloading, only do reexecing (difficult: Reload()
510 currently is properly synchronous, Reexec() is weird, because we
511 cannot delay the response properly until we are back, so instead of
512 being properly synchronous we just keep open the fd and close it
513 when done. That means clients do not get a successful method reply,
514 but much rather a disconnect on success.
516 * properly handle loop back mounts via fstab, especially regards to fsck/passno
518 * allow services with no ExecStart= but with an ExecStop=
520 * dracut-shutdown needs to be ordered before unmounting /boot
522 * initialize the hostname from the fs label of /, if /etc/hostname does not exist?
524 * rename "userspace" to "core-os"
526 * load-fragment: when loading a unit file via a chain of symlinks
527 verify that it is not masked via any of the names traversed.
529 * introduce Type=pid-file
531 * change Requires=basic.target to RequisiteOverride=basic.target
533 * when breaking cycles drop sysv services first, then services from /run, then from /etc, then from /usr
535 * automount: implement expire:
536 - set superblock timeout AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_TIMEOUT_CMD
537 - periodically run AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_EXPIRE_CMD
538 - every timeout/4 (original autofs logic)
539 - blocking, needs a thread
541 - receive expire packet on pipe if kernel tells the timeout is over
543 - answer expire packet on pipe with AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_{READY,FAIL}_CMD
544 - AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_EXPIRE_CMD returns
546 * ExecOnFailure=/usr/bin/foo
549 - remove src/udev/udev-builtin-firmware.c (CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER=n)
552 - add trigger --subsystem-match=usb/usb_device device
553 - reimport udev db after MOVE events for devices without dev_t
555 * when a service has the same env var set twice we actually store it twice and return that in systemctl show -p... We should only show the last setting
557 * introduce mix of BindTo and Requisite
559 * There's currently no way to cancel fsck (used to be possible via C-c or c on the console)
561 * add option to sockets to avoid activation. Instead just drop packets/connections, see http://cyberelk.net/tim/2012/02/15/portreserve-systemd-solution/
563 * default unix qlen is too small (10). bump sysctl? add sockopt?
565 * save coredump in Windows/Mozilla minidump format
567 * support crash reporting operation modes (https://live.gnome.org/GnomeOS/Design/Whiteboards/ProblemReporting)
569 * default to actual 32-bit PIDs, via /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max
571 * be able to specify a forced restart of service A where service B depends on, in case B
572 needs to be auto-respawned?
574 * when a bus name of a service disappears from the bus make sure to queue further activation requests
577 - apply "x" on "D" too (see patch from William Douglas)
579 * for services: do not set $HOME in services unless requested
581 * hide PAM options in fragment parser when compile time disabled
583 * when we automatically restart a service, ensure we restart its rdeps, too.
585 * allow Type=simple with PIDFile=
586 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=723942
588 * move PAM code into its own binary
590 * implement Register= switch in .socket units to enable registration
591 in Avahi, RPC and other socket registration services.
593 * make sure systemd-ask-password-wall does not shutdown systemd-ask-password-console too early
595 * support sd_notify() style notification when reload begins (RELOADING=1), reload is finished (READY=1), and add ReloadSignal= then to use in combination
597 * support sd_notify() style notification when shutting down, to make auto-exit bus services work (STOPPING=1)
599 * verify that the AF_UNIX sockets of a service in the fs still exist
600 when we start a service in order to avoid confusion when a user
601 assumes starting a service is enough to make it accessible
603 * Make it possible to set the keymap independently from the font on
604 the kernel cmdline. Right now setting one resets also the other.
606 * and a dbus call to generate target from current state
609 - drop /.readahead on bigger upgrades with yum
610 - move readahead files into /var (look for them with .path units?)
611 - readahead: use BTRFS_IOC_DEFRAG_RANGE instead of BTRFS_IOC_DEFRAG ioctl, with START_IO
612 - readahead: when bumping /sys readahead variable save mtime and compare later to detect changes
613 - readahead: make use of EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT, as used by http://e4rat.sourceforge.net/
615 * GC unreferenced jobs (such as .device jobs)
617 * write blog stories about:
618 - hwdb: what belongs into it, lsusb
619 - enabling dbus services
621 - how to make changes to sysctl and sysfs attributes
623 - how to pass throw-away units to systemd, or dynamically change properties of existing units
624 - how to integrate cgconfig and suchlike with systemd
625 - testing with Harald's awesome test kit
627 - how to develop against journal browsing APIs
628 - the journal HTTP iface
629 - non-cgroup resource management
630 - dynamic resource management with cgroups
631 - refreshed, longer missions statement
632 - calendar time events
633 - init=/bin/sh vs. "emergency" mode, vs. "rescue" mode, vs. "multi-user" mode, vs. "graphical" mode, and the debug shell
634 - how to create your own target
635 - instantiated apache, dovecot and so on
636 - hooking a script into various stages of shutdown/rearly booot
638 * allow port=0 in .socket units
640 * recreate systemd's D-Bus private socket file on SIGUSR2
642 * Support --test based on current system state
644 * investigate whether the gnome pty helper should be moved into systemd, to provide cgroup support.
646 * maybe introduce ExecRestartPre=
648 * dot output for --test showing the 'initial transaction'
650 * fingerprint.target, wireless.target, gps.target, netdevice.target
652 * drop cap bounding set in readahead and other services
655 - figure out a simple way to wait for journal events in a way that
657 - add documentation to systemd.daemon
660 - plot per-process IO utilization
661 - group processes based on service association (cgroups)
662 - document initcall_debug
663 - kernel cmdline "bootchart" option for simplicity?
666 - Make sure ID_PATH is always exported and complete for
667 network devices where possible, so we can safely rely
669 - check MTUBytes parsing (expecting size_t but we are using unsigned)
672 - add support for more attribute types
673 - inbuilt piping support (essentially degenerate async)? see loopback-setup.c and other places
676 - add more keys to [Route] and [Address] sections
677 - add support for more DHCPv4 options (and, longer term, other kinds of dynamic config)
678 - add proper initrd support (in particular generate .network/.link files based on /proc/cmdline)
679 - add reduced [Link] support to .network files
680 - add Scope= parsing option for [Network]
681 - properly handle routerless dhcp leases
682 - add more attribute support for SIT tunnel
683 - work with non-ethernet devices
684 - add support for more bond options
686 * networkd-wait-online:
687 - make operstates to wait for configurable?
690 - figure out how much we can increase Maximum Message Size
691 - export timezone information
692 - support RFC4702 (pass FQDN)
695 - add functions to set previously stored IPv6 addresses on startup and get
696 them at shutdown; store them in client->ia_na
697 - write more test cases
698 - implement and do duplicate address detection, see rfc 4862, 5.4.
699 - implement reconfigure support, see 5.3., 15.11. and 22.20.
700 - implement information request, see 1.2. and 18.1.5.
701 - implement support for temporary adressess (IA_TA)
702 - implement elapsed time option
703 - implement dhcpv6 authentication
704 - investigate the usefulness of Confirm messages; i.e. are there any
705 situations where the link changes without any loss in carrier detection
707 - some servers don't do rapid commit without a filled in IA_NA, verify
713 - natively watch for dbus-*.service symlinks (PENDING)
714 - teach dbus to activate all services it finds in /etc/systemd/services/org-*.service
716 * fix alsa mixer restore to not print error when no config is stored
718 * make cryptsetup lower --iter-time
720 * patch kernel for xattr support in /dev, /proc/, /sys?
722 * kernel: add device_type = "fb", "fbcon" to class "graphics"
724 * drop accountsservice's StandardOutput=syslog and Type=dbus fields
726 * dbus upstream still refers to dbus.target and should not
728 * dbus: in fedora, make /var/lib/dbus/machine-id a symlink to /etc/machine-id
730 * add "# export SYSTEMD_PAGER=" to bash login
732 * /usr/bin/service should actually show the new command line
734 * 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=
736 * fedora: F20: go timer units all the way, leave cron.daily for cron
738 * neither pkexec nor sudo initialize environ[] from the PAM environment?
740 * fedora: update policy to declare access mode and ownership of unit files to root:root 0644, and add an rpmlint check for it
742 * register catalog database signature as file magic
744 * zsh shell completion: <command> <verb> -<TAB> should complete options, but currently
749 * look for close() vs. close_nointr() vs. close_nointr_nofail()
751 * check for strerror(r) instead of strerror(-r)
753 * Use PR_SET_PROCTITLE_AREA if it becomes available in the kernel
757 * set_put(), hashmap_put() return values check. i.e. == 0 does not free()!
759 * use secure_getenv() instead of getenv() where appropriate
761 * link up selected blog stories from man pages and unit files Documentation= fields
763 Scheduled for removal or fixing:
765 * xxxOverridable dependencies (probably: fix)
