2 * the running hwdb seems not to pick up updated database files without
3 an explicit: udevadm control --reload
5 * enabling an instance unit creates pointless link, and
6 the unit will be started with getty@getty.service:
7 $ systemctl enable getty@.service
8 ln -s '/usr/lib/systemd/system/getty@.service' '/etc/systemd/system/getty.target.wants/getty@.service'
10 * check systemd-tmpfiles for selinux context hookup for mknod(), symlink() and similar
12 * swap units that are activated by one name but shown in the kernel under another are semi-broken
14 * Dangling symlinks of .automount unit files in .wants/ directories, set up
15 automount points even when the original .automount file did not exist
16 anymore. Only the .mount unit was still around.
18 * make polkit checks async
20 * properly handle .mount unit state tracking when two mount points are stacked one on top of another on the exact same mount point.
22 * ellipsize_mem must take into account multi-byte unicode characters, and
23 - make the resulting line the requested number of *characters*, not *bytes*,
24 - avoid truncuating multi-byte sequences in the middle.
26 * shorten the message to sane length:
28 Cannot add dependency job for unit display-manager.service, ignoring: Unit display-manager.service failed to load: No such file or directory. See system logs and 'systemctl status display-manager.service' for details.
32 * external: ps should gain colums for slice and machine
35 - localectl: support new converted x11→console keymaps
37 * when installing fedora with yum --installroot /var/run is a directory, not a symlink
38 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=975864
40 CGroup Rework Completion:
42 * introduce "mainpid" for scopes (or maybe not?)
44 * implement system-wide DefaultCPUAccounting=1 switch (and similar for blockio, memory?)
46 * implement per-slice CPUFairScheduling=1 switch
48 * handle jointly mounted controllers correctly
50 * make BlockIODeviceWeight=, BlockIODeviceBandwidth= runtime settable
52 * introduce high-level settings for RT budget, swappiness
54 * wiki: document new bus APIs of PID 1 (transient units, Reloading signal)
58 * better error message if you run systemctl without systemd running
60 * unlink PID files of units after exit
62 * tiny tool that saves/restores backlight
64 * systemctl status output should should include list of triggering units and their status
66 * for transient units, instead of writing out drop-ins for all properties consider serializing them in the normal serialization stream
68 * logind: when logging out, remove user-owned sysv and posix IPC objects
70 * session scopes/user unit: add RequiresMountsFor for the home directory of the user
72 * add a man page containing packaging guidelines and recommending usage of things like Documentation=, PrivateTmp=, PrivateNetwork= and ReadOnlyDirectories=/etc /usr.
74 * journalctl: instead --after-cursor= maybe have a --cursor=XYZ+1 syntax?
76 * given that logind/machined now let PID 1 do all nasty work we can
77 probably reduce the capability set they retain substantially.
79 * btrfs raid assembly: some .device jobs stay stuck in the queue
81 * Fedora: add an rpmlint check that verifies that all unit files in the RPM are listed in %systemd_post macros.
83 * Fedora: post FPC ticket to move add %tmpfiles_create to the packaging guidelines
85 * make sure gdm doesn't use multi-user-x but the new default X configuration file, and then remove multi-user-x from systemd
87 * when parsing calendar timestamps support the UTC timezone (even if we won't support arbitrary timezone specs, support UTC itself certainly makes sense), also support syntaxes such as +0200
89 * when a kernel driver logs in a tight loop we should ratelimit that too.
91 * "systemctl disable" of a unit instance removes all symlinks, should
92 only remove the instance symlink (systemctl disable of a template
93 unit however should remove them all).
95 * journald: optionally, log debug messages to /run but everything else to /var
97 * systemctl list-unit-files should list generated files (and probably with a new state "generated" for them, or so)
99 * do we really need both hasprefix() and startswith()?
101 * journald: when we drop syslog messages because the syslog socket is
102 full, make sure to write how many messages are lost as first thing
103 to syslog when it works again.
105 * man: the documentation of Restart= currently is very misleading and suggests the tools from ExecStartPre= might get restarted.
107 * load .d/*.conf dropins for device units
109 * add a fixed dbus path for "my own unit", "my own session", ... to PID1, logind, ...
111 * service_coldplug() appears to reinstall the wrong stop timeout watch?
113 * transient units: allow creating auxiliary units with the same call
115 * how to reset dynamically changed attributes sanely?
117 * when reloading configuration, apply new cgroup configuration
119 * journald: make sure ratelimit is actually really per-service with the new cgroup changes
121 * libsystemd-logind: sd_session_is_active() and friends: verify
122 validity of session name before appending it to a path
124 * gparted needs to disable auto-activation of mount units somehow, or
125 maybe we should stop doing auto-activation of this after boot
126 entirely. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=701676
127 Maybe take a BSD lock at the disk device node and teach udev to
128 check for that and suppress event handling.
130 * when a service changes state make reflect that in the
131 RUNNING/LISTENING states of its socket
133 * when recursively showing the cgroup hierarchy, optionally also show
134 the hierarchies of child processes
136 * document logic of auto/noauto and fail/nofail in fstab in systemd.mount or systemd-fstab-generator man page
138 * we should properly escape ssh hostnames we add into dbus server strings
140 * something pulls in pcre as so dep into our daemons such as hostnamed.
142 * document systemd-journal-flush.service properly
144 * change systemd-journal-flush into a service that stays around during
145 boot, and causes the journal to be moved back to /run on shutdown,
146 so that we don't keep /var busy. This needs to happen synchronously,
147 hence doing this via signals is not going to work.
149 * allow implementation of InaccessibleDirectories=/ plus
150 ReadOnlyDirectories=... for whitelisting files for a service.
153 - default policy (allow uid == 0 and our own uid)
154 - enforce alignment of pointers passed in
155 - when kdbus doesn't take our message without memfds, try again with memfds
156 - implement translator service
157 - port systemd to new library
158 - implement busname unit type in systemd
160 - merge busctl into systemctl or so?
161 - synthesize sd_bus_message objects from kernel messages
162 - properly implement name registry ioctls for kdbus
163 - get rid of object hash table, use decision tree everyhwere instead?
164 - implement monitor logic
165 - object vtable logic
168 * priority inheritance
170 * in the final killing spree, detect processes from the root directory, and
171 complain loudly if they have argv[0][0] == '@' set.
172 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=961044
174 * add an option to nspawn that uses seccomp to make socket(AF_NETLINK,
175 SOCK_RAW, NETLINK_AUDIT) fail the the appropriate error code that
176 makes the audit userspace to think auditing is not available in the
179 * Introduce a way how we can kill the main process of a service with KillSignal, but all processes with SIGKILL later on
180 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=952634
182 * maybe add a warning to the unit file parses where the access mode of unit files is nonsensical.
184 * investigate endianness issues of UUID vs. GUID
186 * dbus: when a unit failed to load (i.e. is in UNIT_ERROR state), we
187 should be able to safely try another attempt when the bus call LoadUnit() is invoked.
189 * if pam_systemd is invoked by su from a process that is outside of a
190 any session we should probably just become a NOP, since that's
191 usually not a real user session but just some system code that just
194 * add a pam module that passes the hdd passphrase into the PAM stack and then expires it, for usage by gdm auto-login.
196 * add a pam module that on password changes updates any LUKS slot where the password matches
198 * maybe add a generator that looks for "systemd.run=" on the kernel cmdline for container usercases...
200 * timedatctl, localectl: possibly make some commands work without the daemon, for chroot situations...
202 * logind: add Suspend() bus calls which take timestamps to fix double suspend issues when somebody hits suspend and closes laptop quickly.
204 * we need dynamic units
206 * cgtop: make cgtop useful in a container
209 - add 'set -e' to scripts in test/
210 - make stuff in test/ work with separate output dir
211 - remove all the duplicated code in test/
213 * systemctl delete x.snapshot leaves no trace in logs (at least at default level).
215 * make the coredump collector tool move itself into the user's cgroup
216 so that the coredump is properly written to the user's own journal
219 * seems that when we follow symlinks to units we prefer the symlink
220 destination path over /etc and /usr. We shouldn't do that. Instead
221 /etc should always override /run+/usr and also any symlink
224 * remove duplicate default deps logic from fstab-generator vs. mount.c
226 * when isolating, try to figure out a way how we implicitly can order
227 all units we stop before the isolating unit...
229 * add ConditionArchitecture= or so
231 * teach ConditionKernelCommandLine= globs or regexes (in order to match foobar={no,0,off})
233 * Support SO_REUSEPORT with socket activation:
234 - Let systemd maintain a pool of servers.
235 - Use for seamless upgrades, by running the new server before stopping the
238 * after all byte-wise realloc() is slow, even on glibc, so i guess we
239 need manual exponential loops after all
241 * BootLoaderSpec: drop allowing ext234 for $BOOT. Clarify that the
242 kernel has to be in $BOOT. Clarify that the boot loader should be
243 installed to the ESP. Define a way how an installer can figure out
244 whether a BLS compliant boot loader is installed.
246 * man: remove .include documentation, and instead push people to use .d/*.conf
248 * think about requeuing jobs when daemon-reload is issued? usecase:
249 the initrd issues a reload after fstab from the host is accessible
250 and we might want to requeue the mounts local-fs acquired through
253 * rework specifier logic so that we can distinguish OOM errors from other errors
255 * systemd-inhibit: make taking delay locks useful: support sending SIGINT or SIGTERM on PrepareForSleep()
257 * journal-or-kmsg is currently broken? See reverted commit 4a01181e460686d8b4a543b1dfa7f77c9e3c5ab8.
259 * remove any syslog support from log.c -- we probably can't do this before split-off udev is gone for good
261 * documentation: recommend to connect the timer units of a service to the service via Also= in [Install]
263 * add a tool that lists active timer units plus their next elapse and the time the units ran last
265 * man: document the very specific env the shutdown drop-in tools live in
267 * shutdown logging: store to EFI var, and store to USB stick?
269 * man: extend runlevel(8) to mention that runlevels suck, and are dead. Maybe add runlevel(7) with a note about that too
271 * systemctl: maybe add "systemctl add-wants" or so...
273 * man: add more examples to man pages
275 * man: maybe sort directives in man pages, and take sections from --help and apply them to man too
277 * write UI tool that pops up emergency messages from the journal as notification
279 * think about window-manager-run-as-user-service problem: exit 0 → activate shutdown.target; exit != 0 → restart service
281 * msgcatalog determine default language of entries from the catalog
282 file name. i.e. foobar.de_DE.catalog would set the default entry
283 name for the entries to de_DE if they aren't explicitly suffixed
286 * use "log level" rather than "log priority" everywhere
288 * timedate: have global on/off switches for auto-time (NTP), and auto-timezone that connman can subscribe to.
290 * Honour "-" prefix for InaccessibleDirectories= and ReadOnlyDirectories= to
291 suppress errors of the specified path doesn't exist
293 * dev-setup.c: when running in a container, create a tiny stub udev
294 database with the systemd tag set for all network interfaces found,
295 so that libudev reports them as present, and systemd's .device units
298 * merge unit_kill_common() and unit_kill_context()
300 * introduce ExecCondition= in services
303 - fsck hookup for the ESP mount is missing
304 - write man page for efi boot generator
305 - honor language efi variables for default language selection (if there are any?)
306 - honor timezone efi variables for default timezone selection (if there are any?)
307 - change bootctl to be backed by systemd-bootd to control temporary and persistent default boot goal plus efi variables
309 * maybe do not install getty@tty1.service symlink in /etc but in /usr?
311 * re-enable "make check" for gtk-doc (broken for unknown reason)
313 * fstab: add new mount option x-systemd-after=/foobar/waldo to allow manual dependencies to other mount points
314 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=812826
316 * print a nicer explanation if people use variable/specifier expansion in ExecStart= for the first word
318 * mount: turn dependency information from /proc/self/mountinfo into dependency information between systemd units.
321 - logind: optionally, ignore idle-hint logic for autosuspend, block suspend as long as a session is around
322 - When we update the kernel all kind of hibernation should be prohibited until shutdown/reboot
323 - logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
324 - Add pretty name for seats in logind
325 - logind: allow showing logout dialog from system?
326 - logind: spawn user@..service on login
327 - logind: non-local X11 server handling
328 - logind: add equivalent to sd_pid_get_owner_uid() to the D-Bus API
329 - pam: when leaving a session explicitly exclude the ReleaseSession() caller process from the killing spree
330 - logind: GetSessionByPID() should accept 0 as PID value
331 - we should probably handle SIGTERM/SIGINT to not leave dot files around, just in case
333 * exec: when deinitializating a tty device fix the perms and group, too, not only when initializing. Set access mode/gid to 0620/tty.
335 * DeviceAllow/DeviceDeny: disallow everything by default, but whitelist /dev/zero, /dev/null and friends
337 * service: watchdog logic: for testing purposes allow ping, but do not require pong
340 - do not use magic msync() in src/journal/journal-file.c, just call fsync()
341 <alxchk> poettering: looks like msync just calls vfs_fsync
342 http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/mm/msync.c#n18
343 - import and delete pstore filesystem content at startup
344 - journald: also get thread ID from client, plus thread name
345 - journal: when waiting for journal additions in the client always sleep at least 1s or so, in order to minimize wakeups
346 - add API to close/reopen/get fd for journal client fd in libsystemd-journal.
347 - fallback to /dev/log based logging in libsystemd-journal, if we can't log natively?
348 - declare the local journal protocol stable in the wiki interface chart
349 - journal: reuse XZ context
350 - sd-journal: speed up sd_journal_get_data() with transparent hash table in bg
351 - journald: when dropping msgs due to ratelimit make sure to write
352 "dropped %u messages" not only when we are about to print the next
353 message that works, but alraedy after a short tiemout
354 - check if we can make journalctl by default use --follow mode inside of less if called without args?
355 - maybe add API to send pairs of iovecs via sd_journal_send
356 - journal: when writing journal auto-rotate if time jumps backwards
357 - journal: add a setgid "systemd-journal" utility to invoke from libsystemd-journal, which passes fds via STDOUT and does PK access
358 - journactl: support negative filtering, i.e. FOOBAR!="waldo",
359 and !FOOBAR for events without FOOBAR.
360 - journal: when rotating, copy over old acls/access mode
361 - journal: send out marker messages every now and then, and immediately sync with fdatasync() afterwards, in order to have hourly guaranteed syncs.
362 - 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.
363 - journal: find a way to allow dropping history early, based on priority, other rules
364 - journal: When used on NFS, check payload hashes
365 - journald: check whether it is OK if the client can still modify delivered journal entries
366 - journal live copy, based on libneon (client) and libmicrohttpd (server)
367 - journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
368 - refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
369 - journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
370 - journal: deal nicely with byte-by-byte copied files, especially regards header
371 - journalctl: expand tabs
372 - journal: store euid in journal if it differs from uid
373 - journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the components would fit
374 - Replace utmp, wtmp, btmp, and lastlog completely with journal
375 - Port upower to use the journal for historical power information used in future calculations
378 - document unit_name_mangle()
379 - document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fileds in
380 [Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
381 - man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
382 - Document word splitting syntax for ExecStart= and friends
383 - document that units from /etc override those from /usr and /run
384 - document the exit codes when services fail before they are exec()ed
385 - document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
386 - document in wiki how to map ical recurrence events to systemd timer unit calendar specifications
389 - systemctl list-jobs - show dependencies
390 - add systemctl switch to dump transaction without executing it
391 - Add a verbose mode to "systemctl start" and friends that explains what is being done or not done
392 - "systemctl disable" on a static unit prints no message and does
393 nothing. "systemctl enable" does nothing, and gives a bad message
394 about it. Should fix both to print nice actionable messages.
395 - print nice message from systemctl --failed if there are no entries shown, and hook that into ExecStartPre of rescue.service/emergency.service
396 - add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
397 - systemctl enable: improve the success messages (i.e. more human readable, less shell-like)
398 - systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into doesn't exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
399 - systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
400 - support "systemctl stop foobar@.service" to stop all units matching a certain template
401 - Something is wrong with symlink handling of "autovt@.service" in "systemctl list-unit-files"
403 * introduce ntp.service (or suchlike) as symlink that is used to arbitrate between various NTP implementations
405 * deal with sendmail/postfix exclusivity
408 - configurable jitter for timer events
409 - timer events with system resume
410 - timer units should get the ability to trigger when:
411 o CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (TFD_TIMER_CANCEL_ON_SET)
413 - Support 2012-02~4 as syntax for specifying the fourth to last day of the month.
415 * update the kernel's TZ (sys_tz) when DST changes
417 * sync down the system time to the RTC when:
418 - CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (the user explicitely requested a time set)
419 - DST/timezone changes && ntp is active && RTC-in-localtime (never do it without ntp)
420 This takes care of syncing ntpdate updates to the RTC, and DST updates for localtime
421 mode, it will never touch the RTC if the no reliable time source is active or the
422 user did not request anything like it.
424 * if booted in "quiet" mode, and an error happens, turn on status
425 output again, so that the emergency mode isn't totally
426 surprising. Also, terminate plymouth.
428 * libunwind support for coredump pattern hook, and includes this in
429 the message for coredumps. After all, libunwind is now capable to
430 unwind coredumps since a few weeks ago. This probably requires that
431 we have nice support for multi-line messages on display in
432 logs-show.c. Alternatively: use libelfutil, which seems to be the
433 better supported alternative.
435 * figure out relation of --all and --full in the various tools
437 * add libsystemd-password or so to query passwords during boot using the password agent logic
439 * 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().
441 * fedup: add --unit to systemctl switch-root somehow
442 * fedup: don't delete initrd on switch-root
446 - timedated: refuse time changes when NTP is on
448 * clean up date formatting and parsing so that all absolute/relative timestamps we format can also be parsed
450 * introduce generic AUGMENT_PID=, AUGMENT_DEVICE= fields
452 * on shutdown: move utmp, wall, audit logic all into PID 1 (or logind?), get rid of systemd-update-utmp-runlevel
454 * add "provisioning" instructions to setup an empty /etc + /var
455 - used to setup a new container from a shared /usr
456 - superset of tmpfiles model
457 - instructions shipped by packages and stored in /usr/lib/
458 - compose /etc/passwd and /etc/group, copy files
459 - able to create uid + gid used by packages, for file ownership
461 * make repeated alt-ctrl-del presses printing a dump, or even force a reboot without
462 waiting for the timeout
464 * high level net_prio setting in execution context
466 * hostnamed: before returning information from /etc/machine-info.conf check the modification data and reread. Similar for localed, ...
468 * currently x-systemd.timeout is lost in the initrd, since crypttab is copied into dracut, but fstab isn't
470 * refuse boot if /etc/machine-id is not useful (or set taint?)
473 - nspawn: consider changing users for -u with su, so that NSS resolving works correctly
474 - nspawn: implement personality changes a la linux32(8)
475 - nspawn: --read-only is not applied recursively to submounts
476 - nspawn: make use of device cgroup controller by default
477 - bind mount read-only the cgroup tree higher than nspawn
478 - nspawn: investigate whether we can support the same as LXC's
479 lxc.network.type=phys mode, and pass through entire network
480 interfaces to the container
481 - nspawn: maybe add a way to drop additional caps, in addition to add additional caps
482 - nspawn: maybe explicitly reset loginuid?
483 - nspawn: make it work for dwalsh and shared /usr containers -- tmpfs mounts as command line parameters, selinux exec context
486 - cryptsetup-generator: allow specification of passwords in crypttab itself
487 - move cryptsetup key caching into kernel keyctl?
488 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54982
489 - support rd.luks.allow-discards= kernel cmdline params in cryptsetup generator
491 * move debug shell to tty6 and make sure this doesn't break the gettys on tty6
493 * hw watchdog: optionally try to use the preset watchdog timeout instead of always overriding it
494 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54712
496 * after deserializing sockets in socket.c we should reapply sockopts and things
498 * make timer units go away after they elapsed
500 * http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2012-September/006502.html
501 (network and remote-fs on shutdown)
503 * come up with a nice way to write queue/read_ahead_kb for a block device without interfering with readahead
505 * move PID 1 segfaults to /var/lib/systemd/coredump?
507 * create /sbin/init symlinks from the build system
509 * Query Paul Moore about relabelling socket fds while they are open
511 * system.conf should have controls for cgroups
513 * allow writing multiple conditions in unit files on one line
515 * explore multiple service instances per listening socket idea
517 * shutdown: don't read-only mount anything when running in container
519 * MountFlags=shared acts as MountFlags=slave right now.
521 * ReadOnlyDirectories= is not applied recursively to submounts
523 * drop PID 1 reloading, only do reexecing (difficult: Reload()
524 currently is properly synchronous, Reexec() is weird, because we
525 can't delay the response properly until we are back, so instead of
526 being properly synchronous we just keep open the fd and close it
527 when done. That means clients don't get a successful method reply,
528 but much rather a disconnect on success.
530 * use opterr = 0 for all getopt tools
532 * properly handle loop back mounts via fstab, especially regards to fsck/passno
534 * allow services with no ExecStart= but with an ExecStop=
536 * dracut-shutdown needs to be ordered before unmounting /boot
538 * initialize the hostname from the fs label of /, if /etc/hostname does not exist?
540 * rename "userspace" to "core-os"
543 - syscall filter: add knowledge about compat syscalls
544 - syscall filter: don't enforce no new privs?
545 - syscall filter: option to return EPERM rather than SIGSYS?
546 - syscall filter: port to libseccomp
547 - system-wide seccomp filter
549 * .device aliases need to be implemented with the "following" logic, probably.
551 * load-fragment: when loading a unit file via a chain of symlinks
552 verify that it isn't masked via any of the names traversed.
554 * introduce Type=pid-file
556 * change Requires=basic.target to RequisiteOverride=basic.target
558 * when breaking cycles drop sysv services first, then services from /run, then from /etc, then from /usr
560 * move passno parsing to fstab generator
562 * automount: implement expire:
563 - set superblock timeout AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_TIMEOUT_CMD
564 - periodically run AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_EXPIRE_CMD
565 - every timeout/4 (original autofs logic)
566 - blocking, needs a thread
568 - receive expire packet on pipe if kernel tells the timeout is over
570 - answer expire packet on pipe with AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_{READY,FAIL}_CMD
571 - AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_EXPIRE_CMD returns
573 * services which create their own subcgroups break cgroup-empty notification (needs to be fixed in the kernel)
575 * ExecOnFailure=/usr/bin/foo
578 - remove src/udev/udev-builtin-firmware.c (CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER=n)
580 - unify utf8 validator code with shared/
582 - add trigger --subsystem-match=usb/usb_device device
584 * cleanup syslog 'priority' vs. 'level' wording
586 * 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
588 * support container_ttys=
590 * introduce mix of BindTo and Requisite
592 * add DeleteSocketsOnStop=yes|no option to socket units
594 * There's currently no way to cancel fsck (used to be possible via C-c or c on the console)
596 * add option to sockets to avoid activation. Instead just drop packets/connections, see http://cyberelk.net/tim/2012/02/15/portreserve-systemd-solution/
598 * default unix qlen is too small (10). bump sysctl? add sockopt?
600 * save coredump in Windows/Mozilla minidump format
602 * support crash reporting operation modes (https://live.gnome.org/GnomeOS/Design/Whiteboards/ProblemReporting)
604 * clean up session cgroups that remain after logout (think sshd), but eventually run empty
606 * when an instanced service exits, remove its parent cgroup too if possible.
608 * default to actual 32bit PIDs, via /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max
610 * be able to specify a forced restart of service A where service B depends on, in case B
611 needs to be auto-respawned?
613 * when a bus name of a service disappears from the bus make sure to queue further activation requests
615 * tmpfiles: apply "x" on "D" too (see patch from William Douglas)
617 * for services: don't set $HOME in services unless requested
619 * hide PAM/TCPWrap options in fragment parser when compile time disabled
621 * when we automatically restart a service, ensure we restart its rdeps, too.
623 * allow Type=simple with PIDFile=
624 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=723942
626 * move PAM code into its own binary
628 * implement Register= switch in .socket units to enable registration
629 in Avahi, RPC and other socket registration services.
631 * make sure systemd-ask-password-wall does not shutdown systemd-ask-password-console too early
633 * support sd_notify() style notification when reload begins (RELOADING=1), reload is finished (READY=1), and add ReloadSignal= then to use in combination
635 * support sd_notify() style notification when shutting down, to make auto-exit bus services work (STOPPING=1)
637 * verify that the AF_UNIX sockets of a service in the fs still exist
638 when we start a service in order to avoid confusion when a user
639 assumes starting a service is enough to make it accessible
641 * Make it possible to set the keymap independently from the font on
642 the kernel cmdline. Right now setting one resets also the other.
644 * and a dbus call to generate target from current state
647 - drop /.readahead on bigger upgrades with yum
648 - move readahead files into /var (look for them with .path units?)
649 - readahead: use BTRFS_IOC_DEFRAG_RANGE instead of BTRFS_IOC_DEFRAG ioctl, with START_IO
650 - readahead: when bumping /sys readahead variable save mtime and compare later to detect changes
651 - readahead: make use of EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT, as used by http://e4rat.sourceforge.net/
653 * add support for /bin/mount -s
655 * GC unreferenced jobs (such as .device jobs)
657 * write blog stories about:
658 - hwdb: what belongs into it, lsusb
659 - enabling dbus services
661 - how to make changes to sysctl and sysfs attributes
663 - how to pass throw-away units to systemd, or dynamically change properties of existing units
664 - how to integrate cgconfig and suchlike with systemd
665 - testing with Harald's awesome test kit
667 - how to develop against journal browsing APIs
668 - the journal HTTP iface
669 - non-cgroup resource management
670 - dynamic resource management with cgroups
671 - refreshed, longer missions statement
672 - calendar time events
673 - init=/bin/sh vs. "emergency" mode, vs. "rescue" mode, vs. "multi-user" mode, vs. "graphical" mode, and the debug shell
674 - how to create your own target
675 - instantiated apache, dovecot and so on
676 - hooking a script into various stages of shutdown/rearly booot
678 * allow port=0 in .socket units
680 * support systemd.mask= on the kernel command line.
682 * recreate systemd's D-Bus private socket file on SIGUSR2
684 * Support --test based on current system state
686 * investigate whether the gnome pty helper should be moved into systemd, to provide cgroup support.
688 * maybe introduce ExecRestartPre=
690 * dot output for --test showing the 'initial transaction'
692 * port over to LISTEN_FDS/LISTEN_PID:
693 - rpcbind (/var/run/rpcbind.sock!) HAVEPATCH
697 - libvirtd (/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock-ro)
698 - bluetoothd (/var/run/sdp! @/org/bluez/audio!)
701 * fingerprint.target, wireless.target, gps.target, netdevice.target
703 * io priority during initialization
705 * drop cap bounding set in readahead and other services
708 - figure out a simple way to wait for journal events in a way that
710 - add documentation to systemd.daemon
713 - plot per-process IO utilization
714 - group processes based on service association (cgroups)
715 - document initcall_debug
716 - kernel cmdline "bootchart" option for simplicity?
722 - natively watch for dbus-*.service symlinks (PENDING)
723 - allow specification of socket mode/umask when allocating DBusServer
724 - allow disabling of fd passing when connecting a AF_UNIX connection
725 - allow disabling of UID passing for AUTH EXTERNAL
726 - always pass cred data along each message
727 - teach dbus to activate all services it finds in /etc/systemd/services/org-*.service
729 * fix alsa mixer restore to not print error when no config is stored
731 * make cryptsetup lower --iter-time
733 * patch kernel for xattr support in /dev, /proc/, /sys?
735 * NTP: the kernel's 11-minutes-mode syncs the system time to the RTC, but only
736 in an ~30 minutes window. It does not adjust larger differences. Find a way
737 to tell the kernel, to always do a full time sync when the RTC is in UTC and
738 we are in 11-minutes-mode. When we trust the system time to NTP we also want
741 * kernel: add device_type = "fb", "fbcon" to class "graphics"
743 * drop accountsservice's StandardOutput=syslog and Type=dbus fields
745 * dbus upstream still refers to dbus.target and shouldn't
747 * dbus: in fedora, make /var/lib/dbus/machine-id a symlink to /etc/machine-id
749 * add "# export SYSTEMD_PAGER=" to bash login
751 * /usr/bin/service should actually show the new command line
753 * 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=
755 * fedora: F20: go timer units all the way, leave cron.daily for cron
757 * neither pkexec nor sudo initialize environ[] from the PAM environment?
759 * fedora: update policy to declare access mode and ownership of unit files to root:root 0644, and add an rpmlint check for it
763 * look for close() vs. close_nointr() vs. close_nointr_nofail()
765 * check for strerror(r) instead of strerror(-r)
767 * Use PR_SET_PROCTITLE_AREA if it becomes available in the kernel
769 * %m in printf() instead of strerror(errno);
773 * set_put(), hashmap_put() return values check. i.e. == 0 doesn't free()!
775 * use secure_getenv() instead of getenv() where appropriate
777 * link up selected blog stories from man pages and unit files Documentation= fields
779 Scheduled for removal or fixing:
781 * xxxOverridable dependencies (probably: fix)
