3 * swap units that are activated by one name but shown in the kernel under another are semi-broken
7 * NFS, networkmanager ordering issue (PENDING)
9 * NM should pull in network.target (PENDING)
10 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=692008
12 * bluetooth should be possible to disable (PENDING)
14 * get writev() /dev/kmsg support into the F15 kernel
15 https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/4/6/473
16 patched merged into -mm
18 * make anaconda write timeout=0 for encrypted devices
22 * make use of TIOCVHANGUP
24 * move /selinux to /sys/fs/selinux
26 * unset cgroup agents on shutdown
28 * Add ConditionPathExists= checks to binfmt automount units, to avoid
29 installing the automount point if the directory does not exist.
31 * drop /.readahead on bigger upgrades with yum
33 * add inode stat() check to readahead to suppress preloading changed files
35 * POSIX mqueue support in .socket units
37 * allow list of pathes in config_parse_condition_path()
39 * introduce dbus calls for enabling/disabling a service
41 * support notifications for services being enabled/disabled
43 * Maybe merge nss-myhostname into systemd?
45 * GC unreferenced jobs (such as .device jobs)
47 * support wildcard expansion in ListenStream= and friends
49 * support wildcard expansion in EnvironmentFile= and friends
51 * avoid DefaultStandardOutput=syslog to have any effect on StandardInput=socket services
53 * fix alsa mixer restore to not print error when no config is stored
55 * show enablement status in systemctl status
57 * write blog stories about:
58 - enabling dbus services
60 - you are a distro: why switch?
61 - /etc/sysconfig and /etc/default
62 - how to write socket activated services
64 * maybe add tiny dbus services similar to hostnamed for locale and wallclock/timezone?
66 * allow port=0 in .socket units
68 * rename systemd-logger to systemd-stdio-syslog-bridge
70 * take BSD file lock on tty devices when using them?
72 * avoid any flag files, or readahead files in /, we need to support r/o /
73 or / on tmpfs like Android setups.
75 * move readahead files into /var, look for them with .path units
77 * teach dbus to activate all services it finds in /etc/systemd/services/org-*.service
79 * get process transport into dbus for systemctl -P/-H
81 * document default dependencies
83 * support systemd.whitelist=/systemd.blacklist= on the kernel command
86 * Find a way to replace /var/run, /var/lock directories with
87 symlinks during an RPM package upgrade (filesystem.rpm or systemd.rpm).
88 (lua code to create symlinks right away for new installations is in filesytem.rpm now)
89 We soon want to get rid of var-run.mount var-lock.mount units:
90 if mountpoint /run ; then
93 mount --move /var/run /run || mount --bind /var/run /run
95 mv /var/run /var/.run.save
97 echo "R /var/.run.save" > /etc/tmpfiles.d/remove-run-save.conf
99 * when key file cannot be found, read it from kbd in cryptsetup
101 * add switch to systemctl to show enabled but not running services. Or
102 another switch that shows service that have been running since
103 booting but aren't running anymore.
105 * reuse mkdtemp namespace dirs in /tmp?
107 * recreate systemd's D-Bus private socket file on SIGUSR2
109 * be more specific what failed:
111 Unmounting file systems.
112 Not all file systems unmounted, 1 left.
114 Detaching loop devices.
115 Detaching DM devices.
116 Cannot finalize remaining file systems and devices, trying to kill remaining processes.
117 Unmounting file systems.
118 Not all file systems unmounted, 1 left.
119 Cannot finalize remaining file systems and devices, giving up.
122 * check for compiled-in, but not active selinux, and don't print any warnings
123 about policy loading. Probably check for available selinux in /proc/filesystems,
124 and check for active selinux with getcon_raw() == "kernel"
126 * move /selinux to /sys/fs/selinux
128 * Support --test based on current system state
130 * systemctl enable as D-Bus call
132 * consider services with any kind of link in /etc/systemd/system enabled
134 * show failure error string in "systemctl status"
136 * make sure timeouts are applied to Type=oneshot services.
139 systemctl mask <unit>
140 systemctl unmask <unit>
141 Also support --temp to make this temporary by placing mask links in /run.
143 * detect LXC environment
145 * invoke vhangup() before and after invoking getty
146 http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=3c95c985fa91ecf6a0e29622bbdd13dcfc5ce9f1
148 * Maybe store in unit files whether a service should be enabled by default on package installation
149 (belongs into a distro pattern though, not in an upstream package's service file)
151 * perhaps add "systemctl reenable" as combination of "systemctl disable" and "systemctl enable"
153 * need a way to apply mount options of api vfs from systemd unit files
154 (or some other modern source?) instead of fstab?
156 * maybe introduce ExecRestartPre=
158 * figure out what happened to bluez patch
160 * Patch systemd-fsck to use -C and pass console fd to it
162 * configurable jitter for timer events
164 * Support ProcessNeededForShutdown=true to allow stuff like mdmon to
165 be killed very late after the rootfs is read only? If implement pass
166 this to shutdown binary via command line argument.
168 * use pivot_root on shutdown so that we can unmount the root directory.
169 - copy binaries to, and pivot_root() to the "shutdown tmpfs"
170 - solve "mdadm --wait-clean" problem that way
172 * dot output for --test showing the 'initial transaction'
174 * calendar time support in timer, iCalendar semantics for the timer stuff (RFC2445)
175 - timerfd() with TFD_TIMER_CANCELON_SET support: https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/4/27/383
178 - get PR_SET_ANCHOR merged: http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/2/2/165
181 - provide CK functionality
182 - start getty only when actual vt switch happens (same model as
183 socket on-demand activation). allocate the next free tty and
184 start a getty there. this way, pressing alt-f[1-12] will switch
185 through running X and getty sessions, and any unallocated
186 activated tty will start a new getty. the hardcoding of
187 getty[1-6] will entirely go away.
188 - http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/gregkh/tty-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=fbc92a3455577ab17615cbcb91826399061bd789
190 * implicitly import "defaults" settings file into all types
192 * port over to LISTEN_FDS/LISTEN_PID:
194 - rpcbind (/var/run/rpcbind.sock!) HAVEPATCH
198 - libvirtd (/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock-ro)
199 - bluetoothd (/var/run/sdp! @/org/bluez/audio!)
202 * fingerprint.target, wireless.target, gps.target, netdevice.target
204 * set_put(), hashmap_put() return values check. i.e. == 0 doesn't free()!
206 * io priority during initialization
208 * if a service fails too often, make the service enter failed mode, and the socket, too.
210 * systemctl list-jobs - show dependencies
212 * auditd service files
214 * add systemctl switch to dump transaction without executing it
216 * suspend, resume support?
218 * readahead: btrfs/LVM SSD detection
220 * add separate man page for [Install] settings
222 * allow runtime changing of log level and target
224 * drop cap bounding set in readahead and other services
228 * udisks should not use udisks-part-id, instead use blkid. also not probe /dev/loopxxx
230 * snd-seq should go, https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=676095
232 * gnome-shell python script/glxinfo/is-accelerated must die
234 * make cryptsetup lower --iter-time
236 * patch kernel for xattr support in /dev, /proc/, /sys and /sys/fs/cgroup?
238 * patch kernel for cpu feature modalias for autoloading aes/kvm/...
239 http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/ak/linux-misc-2.6.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/cpuid-match
240 (Rafael J. Wysocki's sysdev rework is on the way. After that CPUs can be exported a proper bus.)
242 * procps, psmisc, sysvinit-tools, hostname → util-linux-ng

265 * look for close() vs. close_nointr() vs. close_nointr_nofail()
267 * check for strerror(r) instead of strerror(-r)
269 * Use PR_SET_PROCTITLE_AREA if it becomes available in the kernel
271 * %m in printf() instead of strerror();
275 * CFLAGS="-Wl,--gc-sections -Wl,--print-gc-sections -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections"
