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 * dbus: add new message hdr field for allowing interactive auth, write spec for it. update dbus spec to mandate that unknown flags *must* be ignored...
29 * maybe introduce AssertXYZ= similar to ConditionXYZ= that causes a unit to fail (instead of skipping it) if some condition is not true...
31 * remove multi-seat-x now
33 * refcounting in sd-resolve is borked
35 * exponential backoff in timesyncd and resolved when we cannot reach a server
37 * apply start timeout during the "initializing" manager state only,
38 instead of both "initializing" and "starting". maybe rename the
39 timeout to "initialization-timeout" then or so?
41 * journald: make use of uid-range.h to managed uid ranges to split
44 * tmpfiles: port to unquote_many_words(), similar to sysusers
46 * unquote_many_words() should probably be used by a lot of code that
47 currently uses FOREACH_WORD and friends. For example, most conf
48 parsing callbacks should use it.
50 * logind: make the Suspend()/Hibernate() bus calls wait for the for
51 the job to be completed. before returning, so that clients can wait
52 for "systemctl suspend" to finish to know when the suspending is
55 * merge ~/.local/share and ~/.local/lib into one similar /usr/lib and /usr/share....
57 * remove readahead in 217
59 * journald: allows specification of UID range for splitting up journal files
61 * systemd.show_status= should probably have a mode where only failed
65 - add LLDP client side support
66 - ipv4ll with multiple interfaces doesn't work when both dhcp and
67 ipv4ll is used. for some reasons the kernel will currently pick an
68 ipv4ll source address to reach non-ipv4ll gateways.
69 - dhcp and ipv4ll should probably be skipped for "lo" devices, even
70 if the user has a catchall .network file installed, that might
71 theoretically match it.
72 - the DHCP lease data (such as NTP/DNS) is still made available when
73 a carrier is lost on a link. It should be removed instantly.
74 - .network setting that allows overriding of the hostname to send to the dhcp server
75 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-July/021550.html
76 - expose in the API the following bits:
77 - option 15, domain name and/or option 119, search list
78 - option 12, host name and/or option 81, fqdn
79 - option 100, 101, timezone
80 - option 123, 144, geolocation
81 - option 252, configure http proxy (PAC/wpad)
82 - networkd's dhcp server should transparently pass on the DNS and
83 NTP server list it got from user configuration and its dhcp client
84 to clients. It should also pass on its own timezone information.
85 - provide a way to define a per-network interface default metric value
86 for all routes to it. possibly a second default for DHCP routes.
89 - put networkd events and rtnl events at a higher priority, so that
90 we always process them before we process client requests
92 - use base64 for key presentation?
93 - add display of private key types (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4034#appendix-A.1.1)?
94 - add nice formatting of DNS timestamps
99 - DNS-SD service registration from socket units
104 * Ignore .busname units on classic D-Bus boots, systemd-resolved cannot be started on kdbus
105 without the active policy and should get a Wants=org.freedesktop.resolve1.busname to
108 * Allow multiple ExecStart= for all Type= settings, so that we can cover rescue.service nicely
110 * Add a new verb "systemctl top"
112 * logind: allow users to kill or lock their own sessions
114 * add new gpt type for btrfs volumes
116 * support empty /etc boots nicely:
117 - nspawn/gpt-generator: introduce new gpt partition type for /usr
118 - fstab-generator: support systemd.volatile=yes|no|state on the kernel cmdline, too, similar to nspawn's --volatile=
119 - fstab-generator: add support for usr= in addition to root= on the kernel cmdline
121 * generator that automatically discovers btrfs subvolumes, identifies their purpose based on some xattr on them.
123 * support setting empty environment variables with Environment= and EnvironmentFile=
125 * timer units: actually add extra delays to timer units with high AccuracySec values, don't start them already when we are awake...
127 * a way for container managers to turn off getty starting via $container_headless= or so...
129 * figure out a nice way how we can let the admin know what child/sibling unit causes cgroup membership for a specific unit
131 * journalctl: add the ability to look for the most recent process of a binary. journalctl /usr/bin/X11 --pid=-1 or so...
133 * set NOTIFY_SOCKET also for control processes
135 * mount_cgroup_controllers(): symlinks need to get the label applied
137 * For timer units: add some mechanisms so that timer units that trigger immediately on boot do not have the services
138 they run added to the initial transaction and thus confuse Type=idle.
140 * 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)
142 * sd-event: generate a failure of a default event loop is executed out-of-thread
144 * expose "Locked" property on logind sesison objects
146 * add bus api to query unit file's X fields.
148 * consider adding RuntimeDirectoryUser= + RuntimeDirectoryGroup=
150 * sd-event: define more intervals where we will shift wakeup intervals around in, 1h, 6h, 24h, ...
152 * gpt-auto-generator:
153 - Support LUKS for root devices
154 - Define new partition type for encrypted swap? Support probed LUKS for encrypted swap?
155 - Make /home automount rather than mount?
157 * improve journalctl performance by loading journal files
158 lazily. Encode just enough information in the file name, so that we
159 do not have to open it to know that it is not interesting for us, for
160 the most common operations.
162 * add generator that pulls in systemd-network from containers when
163 CAP_NET_ADMIN is set, more than the loopback device is defined, even
164 when it is otherwise off
166 * MessageQueueMessageSize= and RLimitFSIZE= (and suchlike) should use parse_iec_size().
168 * "busctl status" works only as root on dbus1, since we cannot read
171 * implement Distribute= in socket units to allow running multiple
172 service instances processing the listening socket, and open this up
175 * socket units: support creating sockets in different namespace,
176 opening it up for JoinsNamespaceOf=. This would require to fork off
177 a tiny process that joins the namespace and creates/binds the socket
178 and passes this back to PID1 via SCM_RIGHTS. This also could be used
179 to allow Chown/chgrp on sockets without requiring NSS in PID 1.
181 * New service property: maximum CPU and wallclock runtime for a service
183 * introduce bus call FreezeUnit(s, b), as well as "systemctl freeze
184 $UNIT" and "systemctl thaw $UNIT" as wrappers around this. The calls
185 should SIGSTOP all unit processes in a loop until all processes of
186 it are fully stopped. This can later be used for app management by
187 desktop UIs such as gnome-shell to freeze apps that are not visible
188 on screen, not unlike how job control works on the shell
191 - manager property enumeration was broken when systemd moved to /usr/lib/
194 - implement per-slice CPUFairScheduling=1 switch
195 - handle jointly mounted controllers correctly
196 - introduce high-level settings for RT budget, swappiness
197 - how to reset dynamically changed unit cgroup attributes sanely?
198 - when reloading configuration, apply new cgroup configuration
199 - when recursively showing the cgroup hierarchy, optionally also show
200 the hierarchies of child processes
203 - allow creating auxiliary units with the same call
204 - add field to transient units that indicate whether systemd or somebody else saves/restores its settings, for integration with libvirt
205 - ensure scope units may be started only a single time
207 * Automatically configure swap partition to use for hibernation by looking for largest swap partition on the root disk?
209 * when we detect low battery and no AC on boot, show pretty splash and refuse boot
211 * machined, localed: when we try to kill an empty cgroup, generate an ESRCH error over the bus
213 * libsystemd-journal, libsystemd-login, libudev: add calls to easily attach these objects to sd-event event loops
215 * be more careful what we export on the bus as (usec_t) 0 and (usec_t) -1
217 * unify dispatch table in systemctl_main() and friends
219 * 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
221 * After coming back from hibernation reset hibernation swap partition using the /dev/snapshot ioctl APIs
223 * If we try to find a unit via a dangling symlink, generate a clean
224 error. Currently, we just ignore it and read the unit from the search
227 * refuse boot if /etc/os-release is missing or /etc/machine-id cannot be set up
229 * given that logind now lets PID 1 do all nasty work, we can
230 probably reduce the capability set it retains substantially.
231 (we need CAP_SYS_ADMIN for drmSetMaster(), so maybe not worth it)
233 * btrfs raid assembly: some .device jobs stay stuck in the queue
235 * make sure gdm does not use multi-user-x but the new default X configuration file, and then remove multi-user-x from systemd
237 * man: the documentation of Restart= currently is very misleading and suggests the tools from ExecStartPre= might get restarted.
239 * load .d/*.conf dropins for device units
241 * allow implementation of InaccessibleDirectories=/ plus
242 ReadOnlyDirectories=... for whitelisting files for a service.
245 - when kdbus does not take our message without memfds, try again with memfds
246 - systemd-bus-proxyd needs to enforce good old XML policy
247 - allow updating attach flags during runtime
248 - pid1: peek into activating message when activating a service
249 - introduce sd_bus_emit_object_added()/sd_bus_emit_object_removed() that automatically includes the build-in interfaces in the list
250 - port to sd-resolve for connecting to TCP dbus servers
251 - see if we can drop more message validation on the sending side
252 - add API to clone sd_bus_message objects
253 - make AddMatch calls on dbus1 transports async?
254 - kdbus: matches against source or destination pids for an "strace -p"-like feel. Problem: The PID info needs to be available in userspace too...
255 - longer term: priority inheritance
258 - NameLost/NameAcquired obsolete
260 - "const" properties (posted)
262 - update systemd.special(7) to mention that dbus.socket is only about the compatibility socket now
263 - test bloom filter generation indexes
266 - allow multiple signal handlers per signal?
268 * in the final killing spree, detect processes from the root directory, and
269 complain loudly if they have argv[0][0] == '@' set.
270 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=961044
272 * investigate endianness issues of UUID vs. GUID
274 * dbus: when a unit failed to load (i.e. is in UNIT_ERROR state), we
275 should be able to safely try another attempt when the bus call LoadUnit() is invoked.
277 * add a pam module that passes the hdd passphrase into the PAM stack and then expires it, for usage by gdm auto-login.
279 * add a pam module that on password changes updates any LUKS slot where the password matches
281 * maybe add a generator that looks for "systemd.run=" on the kernel cmdline for container usercases...
283 * timedatectl: print a nicer message when enabling ntp fails because ntpd/chrony are not installed
285 * cgtop: make cgtop useful in a container
288 - add 'set -e' to scripts in test/
289 - make stuff in test/ work with separate output dir
291 * seems that when we follow symlinks to units we prefer the symlink
292 destination path over /etc and /usr. We should not do that. Instead
293 /etc should always override /run+/usr and also any symlink
296 * when isolating, try to figure out a way how we implicitly can order
297 all units we stop before the isolating unit...
299 * teach ConditionKernelCommandLine= globs or regexes (in order to match foobar={no,0,off})
301 * after all byte-wise realloc() is slow, even on glibc, so i guess we
302 need manual exponential loops after all
304 * BootLoaderSpec: Clarify that the kernel has to be in $BOOT. Clarify
305 that the boot loader should be installed to the ESP. Define a way
306 how an installer can figure out whether a BLS compliant boot loader
309 * think about requeuing jobs when daemon-reload is issued? usecase:
310 the initrd issues a reload after fstab from the host is accessible
311 and we might want to requeue the mounts local-fs acquired through
314 * systemd-inhibit: make taking delay locks useful: support sending SIGINT or SIGTERM on PrepareForSleep()
316 * journal-or-kmsg is currently broken? See reverted commit 4a01181e460686d8b4a543b1dfa7f77c9e3c5ab8.
318 * remove any syslog support from log.c -- we probably cannot do this before split-off udev is gone for good
320 * shutdown logging: store to EFI var, and store to USB stick?
322 * write UI tool that pops up emergency messages from the journal as notification
324 * think about window-manager-run-as-user-service problem: exit 0 → activate shutdown.target; exit != 0 → restart service
326 * use "log level" rather than "log priority" everywhere
328 * merge unit_kill_common() and unit_kill_context()
330 * introduce ExecCondition= in services
333 - honor language efi variables for default language selection (if there are any?)
334 - honor timezone efi variables for default timezone selection (if there are any?)
335 - change bootctl to be backed by systemd-bootd to control temporary and persistent default boot goal plus efi variables
337 * maybe do not install getty@tty1.service symlink in /etc but in /usr?
339 * re-enable "make check" for gtk-doc (broken for unknown reason)
341 * fstab: add new mount option x-systemd-after=/foobar/waldo to allow manual dependencies to other mount points
342 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=812826
344 * print a nicer explanation if people use variable/specifier expansion in ExecStart= for the first word
346 * mount: turn dependency information from /proc/self/mountinfo into dependency information between systemd units.
349 - logind: optionally, ignore idle-hint logic for autosuspend, block suspend as long as a session is around
350 - When we update the kernel all kind of hibernation should be prohibited until shutdown/reboot
351 - logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
352 - Add pretty name for seats in logind
353 - logind: allow showing logout dialog from system?
354 - we should probably handle SIGTERM/SIGINT to not leave dot files around, just in case
355 - session scopes/user unit: add RequiresMountsFor for the home directory of the user
356 - add Suspend() bus calls which take timestamps to fix double suspend issues when somebody hits suspend and closes laptop quickly.
357 - if pam_systemd is invoked by su from a process that is outside of a
358 any session we should probably just become a NOP, since that's
359 usually not a real user session but just some system code that just
362 * exec: when deinitializating a tty device fix the perms and group, too, not only when initializing. Set access mode/gid to 0620/tty.
364 * service: watchdog logic: for testing purposes allow ping, but do not require pong
367 - import and delete pstore filesystem content at startup
368 - journald: also get thread ID from client, plus thread name
369 - journal: when waiting for journal additions in the client always sleep at least 1s or so, in order to minimize wakeups
370 - add API to close/reopen/get fd for journal client fd in libsystemd-journal.
371 - fallback to /dev/log based logging in libsystemd-journal, if we cannot log natively?
372 - declare the local journal protocol stable in the wiki interface chart
373 - journal: reuse XZ context
374 - sd-journal: speed up sd_journal_get_data() with transparent hash table in bg
375 - journald: when dropping msgs due to ratelimit make sure to write
376 "dropped %u messages" not only when we are about to print the next
377 message that works, but alraedy after a short tiemout
378 - check if we can make journalctl by default use --follow mode inside of less if called without args?
379 - maybe add API to send pairs of iovecs via sd_journal_send
380 - journal: when writing journal auto-rotate if time jumps backwards
381 - journal: add a setgid "systemd-journal" utility to invoke from libsystemd-journal, which passes fds via STDOUT and does PK access
382 - journactl: support negative filtering, i.e. FOOBAR!="waldo",
383 and !FOOBAR for events without FOOBAR.
384 - journal: send out marker messages every now and then, and immediately sync with fdatasync() afterwards, in order to have hourly guaranteed syncs.
385 - 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.
386 - journal: find a way to allow dropping history early, based on priority, other rules
387 - journal: When used on NFS, check payload hashes
388 - journald: check whether it is OK if the client can still modify delivered journal entries
389 - journal live copy, based on libneon (client) and libmicrohttpd (server)
390 - journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
391 - refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
392 - journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
393 - journal: deal nicely with byte-by-byte copied files, especially regards header
394 - journal: store euid in journal if it differs from uid
395 - journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the components would fit
396 - Replace utmp, wtmp, btmp, and lastlog completely with journal
397 - journalctl: instead --after-cursor= maybe have a --cursor=XYZ+1 syntax?
398 - tmpfiles: when applying ownership to /run/log/journal, also do this for the journal fails contained in it
399 - when a kernel driver logs in a tight loop, we should ratelimit that too.
400 - journald: optionally, log debug messages to /run but everything else to /var
401 - journald: when we drop syslog messages because the syslog socket is
402 full, make sure to write how many messages are lost as first thing
403 to syslog when it works again.
404 - journald: make sure ratelimit is actually really per-service with the new cgroup changes
405 - change systemd-journal-flush into a service that stays around during
406 boot, and causes the journal to be moved back to /run on shutdown,
407 so that we do not keep /var busy. This needs to happen synchronously,
408 hence doing this via signals is not going to work.
411 - document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fields in
412 [Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
413 - man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
414 - document the exit codes when services fail before they are exec()ed
415 - document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
416 - document in wiki how to map ical recurrence events to systemd timer unit calendar specifications
417 - add a man page containing packaging guidelines and recommending usage of things like Documentation=, PrivateTmp=, PrivateNetwork= and ReadOnlyDirectories=/etc /usr.
418 - document systemd-journal-flush.service properly
419 - documentation: recommend to connect the timer units of a service to the service via Also= in [Install]
420 - man: document the very specific env the shutdown drop-in tools live in
421 - man: extend runlevel(8) to mention that runlevels suck, and are dead. Maybe add runlevel(7) with a note about that too
422 - man: add more examples to man pages
423 - man: maybe sort directives in man pages, and take sections from --help and apply them to man too
426 - systemctl list-jobs - show dependencies
427 - add systemctl switch to dump transaction without executing it
428 - Add a verbose mode to "systemctl start" and friends that explains what is being done or not done
429 - "systemctl disable" on a static unit prints no message and does
430 nothing. "systemctl enable" does nothing, and gives a bad message
431 about it. Should fix both to print nice actionable messages.
432 - print nice message from systemctl --failed if there are no entries shown, and hook that into ExecStartPre of rescue.service/emergency.service
433 - add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
434 - systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into does not exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
435 - systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
436 - support "systemctl stop foobar@.service" to stop all units matching a certain template
437 - Something is wrong with symlink handling of "autovt@.service" in "systemctl list-unit-files"
438 - better error message if you run systemctl without systemd running
439 - systemctl status output should should include list of triggering units and their status
442 - "systemctl mask" should find all names by which a unit is accessible
443 (i.e. by scanning for symlinks to it) and link them all to /dev/null
444 - systemctl list-unit-files should list generated files (and probably with a new state "generated" for them, or so)
445 - systemctl: maybe add "systemctl add-wants" or so...
448 - timer units should get the ability to trigger when:
449 o CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (TFD_TIMER_CANCEL_ON_SET)
451 - Support 2012-02~4 as syntax for specifying the fourth to last day of the month.
452 - calendarspec: support value ranges with ".." notation. Example: 2013-4..8-1
453 - 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
454 - Modulate timer frequency based on battery state
456 * update the kernel's TZ (sys_tz) when DST changes
458 * sync down the system time to the RTC when:
459 - CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (the user explicitely requested a time set)
460 - DST/timezone changes && ntp is active && RTC-in-localtime (never do it without ntp)
461 This takes care of syncing ntpdate updates to the RTC, and DST updates for localtime
462 mode, it will never touch the RTC if the no reliable time source is active or the
463 user did not request anything like it.
465 * add libsystemd-password or so to query passwords during boot using the password agent logic
467 * 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().
469 * fedup: add --unit to systemctl switch-root somehow
470 * fedup: do not delete initrd on switch-root
473 * clean up date formatting and parsing so that all absolute/relative timestamps we format can also be parsed
475 * on shutdown: move utmp, wall, audit logic all into PID 1 (or logind?), get rid of systemd-update-utmp-runlevel
477 * make repeated alt-ctrl-del presses printing a dump, or even force a reboot without
478 waiting for the timeout
480 * hostnamed: before returning information from /etc/machine-info.conf check the modification data and reread. Similar for localed, ...
482 * currently x-systemd.timeout is lost in the initrd, since crypttab is copied into dracut, but fstab is not
485 - bind mount read-only the cgroup tree higher than nspawn
486 - refuses to boot containers without /etc/machine-id (OK?), and with empty /etc/machine-id (not OK).
487 - support taking a btrfs snapshot at startup and dropping it afterwards
490 - cryptsetup-generator: allow specification of passwords in crypttab itself
491 - move cryptsetup key caching into kernel keyctl?
492 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54982
493 - support rd.luks.allow-discards= kernel cmdline params in cryptsetup generator
495 * hw watchdog: optionally try to use the preset watchdog timeout instead of always overriding it
496 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54712
498 * after deserializing sockets in socket.c we should reapply sockopts and things
500 * make timer units go away after they elapsed
502 * come up with a nice way to write queue/read_ahead_kb for a block device without interfering with readahead
504 * move PID 1 segfaults to /var/lib/systemd/coredump?
506 * create /sbin/init symlinks from the build system
508 * allow writing multiple conditions in unit files on one line
510 * MountFlags=shared acts as MountFlags=slave right now.
512 * drop PID 1 reloading, only do reexecing (difficult: Reload()
513 currently is properly synchronous, Reexec() is weird, because we
514 cannot delay the response properly until we are back, so instead of
515 being properly synchronous we just keep open the fd and close it
516 when done. That means clients do not get a successful method reply,
517 but much rather a disconnect on success.
519 * properly handle loop back mounts via fstab, especially regards to fsck/passno
521 * initialize the hostname from the fs label of /, if /etc/hostname does not exist?
523 * rename "userspace" to "core-os"
525 * load-fragment: when loading a unit file via a chain of symlinks
526 verify that it is not masked via any of the names traversed.
528 * introduce Type=pid-file
530 * change Requires=basic.target to RequisiteOverride=basic.target
532 * when breaking cycles drop sysv services first, then services from /run, then from /etc, then from /usr
534 * automount: implement expire:
535 - set superblock timeout AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_TIMEOUT_CMD
536 - periodically run AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_EXPIRE_CMD
537 - every timeout/4 (original autofs logic)
538 - blocking, needs a thread
540 - receive expire packet on pipe if kernel tells the timeout is over
542 - answer expire packet on pipe with AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_{READY,FAIL}_CMD
543 - AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_EXPIRE_CMD returns
545 * ExecOnFailure=/usr/bin/foo
548 - remove src/udev/udev-builtin-firmware.c (CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER=n)
551 - add trigger --subsystem-match=usb/usb_device device
552 - reimport udev db after MOVE events for devices without dev_t
554 * 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
556 * introduce mix of BindTo and Requisite
558 * There's currently no way to cancel fsck (used to be possible via C-c or c on the console)
560 * add option to sockets to avoid activation. Instead just drop packets/connections, see http://cyberelk.net/tim/2012/02/15/portreserve-systemd-solution/
562 * default unix qlen is too small (10). bump sysctl? add sockopt?
564 * save coredump in Windows/Mozilla minidump format
566 * support crash reporting operation modes (https://live.gnome.org/GnomeOS/Design/Whiteboards/ProblemReporting)
568 * default to actual 32-bit PIDs, via /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max
570 * be able to specify a forced restart of service A where service B depends on, in case B
571 needs to be auto-respawned?
573 * when a bus name of a service disappears from the bus make sure to queue further activation requests
576 - apply "x" on "D" too (see patch from William Douglas)
578 * for services: do not set $HOME in services unless requested
580 * hide PAM options in fragment parser when compile time disabled
582 * when we automatically restart a service, ensure we restart its rdeps, too.
584 * allow Type=simple with PIDFile=
585 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=723942
587 * move PAM code into its own binary
589 * implement Register= switch in .socket units to enable registration
590 in Avahi, RPC and other socket registration services.
592 * make sure systemd-ask-password-wall does not shutdown systemd-ask-password-console too early
594 * add ReloadSignal= for configuring a reload signal to use
596 * verify that the AF_UNIX sockets of a service in the fs still exist
597 when we start a service in order to avoid confusion when a user
598 assumes starting a service is enough to make it accessible
600 * Make it possible to set the keymap independently from the font on
601 the kernel cmdline. Right now setting one resets also the other.
603 * and a dbus call to generate target from current state
606 - drop /.readahead on bigger upgrades with yum
607 - move readahead files into /var (look for them with .path units?)
608 - readahead: use BTRFS_IOC_DEFRAG_RANGE instead of BTRFS_IOC_DEFRAG ioctl, with START_IO
609 - readahead: when bumping /sys readahead variable save mtime and compare later to detect changes
610 - readahead: make use of EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT, as used by http://e4rat.sourceforge.net/
612 * GC unreferenced jobs (such as .device jobs)
614 * write blog stories about:
615 - hwdb: what belongs into it, lsusb
616 - enabling dbus services
618 - how to make changes to sysctl and sysfs attributes
620 - how to pass throw-away units to systemd, or dynamically change properties of existing units
621 - how to integrate cgconfig and suchlike with systemd
622 - testing with Harald's awesome test kit
624 - how to develop against journal browsing APIs
625 - the journal HTTP iface
626 - non-cgroup resource management
627 - dynamic resource management with cgroups
628 - refreshed, longer missions statement
629 - calendar time events
630 - init=/bin/sh vs. "emergency" mode, vs. "rescue" mode, vs. "multi-user" mode, vs. "graphical" mode, and the debug shell
631 - how to create your own target
632 - instantiated apache, dovecot and so on
633 - hooking a script into various stages of shutdown/rearly booot
635 * allow port=0 in .socket units
637 * recreate systemd's D-Bus private socket file on SIGUSR2
639 * Support --test based on current system state
641 * investigate whether the gnome pty helper should be moved into systemd, to provide cgroup support.
643 * maybe introduce ExecRestartPre=
645 * dot output for --test showing the 'initial transaction'
647 * fingerprint.target, wireless.target, gps.target, netdevice.target
649 * drop cap bounding set in readahead and other services
652 - figure out a simple way to wait for journal events in a way that
654 - add documentation to systemd.daemon
657 - plot per-process IO utilization
658 - group processes based on service association (cgroups)
659 - document initcall_debug
660 - kernel cmdline "bootchart" option for simplicity?
663 - Make sure ID_PATH is always exported and complete for
664 network devices where possible, so we can safely rely
666 - check MTUBytes parsing (expecting size_t but we are using unsigned)
669 - add support for more attribute types
670 - inbuilt piping support (essentially degenerate async)? see loopback-setup.c and other places
673 - add more keys to [Route] and [Address] sections
674 - add support for more DHCPv4 options (and, longer term, other kinds of dynamic config)
675 - add proper initrd support (in particular generate .network/.link files based on /proc/cmdline)
676 - add reduced [Link] support to .network files
677 - add Scope= parsing option for [Network]
678 - properly handle routerless dhcp leases
679 - add more attribute support for SIT tunnel
680 - work with non-ethernet devices
681 - add support for more bond options
683 * networkd-wait-online:
684 - make operstates to wait for configurable?
687 - figure out how much we can increase Maximum Message Size
688 - export timezone information
689 - support RFC4702 (pass FQDN)
692 - add functions to set previously stored IPv6 addresses on startup and get
693 them at shutdown; store them in client->ia_na
694 - write more test cases
695 - implement and do duplicate address detection, see rfc 4862, 5.4.
696 - implement reconfigure support, see 5.3., 15.11. and 22.20.
697 - implement information request, see 1.2. and 18.1.5.
698 - implement support for temporary adressess (IA_TA)
699 - implement elapsed time option
700 - implement dhcpv6 authentication
701 - investigate the usefulness of Confirm messages; i.e. are there any
702 situations where the link changes without any loss in carrier detection
704 - some servers don't do rapid commit without a filled in IA_NA, verify
710 - natively watch for dbus-*.service symlinks (PENDING)
711 - teach dbus to activate all services it finds in /etc/systemd/services/org-*.service
713 * fix alsa mixer restore to not print error when no config is stored
715 * make cryptsetup lower --iter-time
717 * patch kernel for xattr support in /dev, /proc/, /sys?
719 * kernel: add device_type = "fb", "fbcon" to class "graphics"
721 * drop accountsservice's StandardOutput=syslog and Type=dbus fields
723 * dbus upstream still refers to dbus.target and should not
725 * dbus: in fedora, make /var/lib/dbus/machine-id a symlink to /etc/machine-id
727 * add "# export SYSTEMD_PAGER=" to bash login
729 * /usr/bin/service should actually show the new command line
731 * 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=
733 * fedora: F20: go timer units all the way, leave cron.daily for cron
735 * neither pkexec nor sudo initialize environ[] from the PAM environment?
737 * fedora: update policy to declare access mode and ownership of unit files to root:root 0644, and add an rpmlint check for it
739 * register catalog database signature as file magic
741 * zsh shell completion: <command> <verb> -<TAB> should complete options, but currently
746 * look for close() vs. close_nointr() vs. close_nointr_nofail()
748 * check for strerror(r) instead of strerror(-r)
750 * Use PR_SET_PROCTITLE_AREA if it becomes available in the kernel
754 * set_put(), hashmap_put() return values check. i.e. == 0 does not free()!
756 * use secure_getenv() instead of getenv() where appropriate
758 * link up selected blog stories from man pages and unit files Documentation= fields
760 Scheduled for removal or fixing:
762 * xxxOverridable dependencies (probably: fix)
