2 * enabling an instance unit creates a pointless link, and
3 the unit will be started with getty@getty.service:
4 $ systemctl enable getty@.service
5 ln -s '/usr/lib/systemd/system/getty@.service' '/etc/systemd/system/getty.target.wants/getty@.service'
7 * swap units that are activated by one name but shown in the kernel under another are semi-broken
9 * Dangling symlinks of .automount unit files in .wants/ directories, set up
10 automount points even when the original .automount file did not exist
11 anymore. Only the .mount unit was still around.
13 * properly handle .mount unit state tracking when two mount points are stacked one on top of another on the exact same mount point.
15 * When we detect invalid UTF-8, we cannot use it in an error message:
16 log...("Path is not UTF-8 clean, ignoring assignment: %s", rvalue);
18 * shorten the message to sane length:
20 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.
24 * ps should gain colums for slice
26 * Fedora: when installing fedora with yum --installroot /var/run is a directory, not a symlink
27 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=975864
29 * Fedora: add an rpmlint check that verifies that all unit files in the RPM are listed in %systemd_post macros.
31 * Fedora: post FPC ticket to move add %tmpfiles_create to the packaging guidelines
36 - implement system-wide DefaultCPUAccounting=1 switch (and similar for blockio, memory?)
37 - implement per-slice CPUFairScheduling=1 switch
38 - handle jointly mounted controllers correctly
39 - introduce high-level settings for RT budget, swappiness
40 - how to reset dynamically changed unit cgroup attributes sanely?
41 - when reloading configuration, apply new cgroup configuration
42 - when recursively showing the cgroup hierarchy, optionally also show
43 the hierarchies of child processes
46 - allow creating auxiliary units with the same call
47 - add field to transient units that indicate whether systemd or somebody else saves/restores its settings, for integration with libvirt
48 - ensure scope units may be started only a single time
50 * switch to SipHash for hashmaps/sets?
52 * general: get rid of readdir_r/dirent_storage stuff, it's unnecessary on Linux
54 * when we detect low battery and no AC on boot, show pretty splash and refuse boot
56 * move libasyncns into systemd as libsystemd-asyncns
58 * machined, localed: when we try to kill an empty cgroup, generate an ESRCH error over the bus
60 * libsystemd-journal, libsystemd-login, libudev: add calls to easily attach these objects to sd-event event loops
62 * be more careful what we export on the bus as (usec_t) 0 and (usec_t) -1
64 * unify dispatch table in systemctl_main() and friends
66 * Automatically configure swap partition to use for hibernation by looking for largest swap partition on the root disk?
68 * remove NSS usage from PID 1 (notably the specifiers)
70 * socket-proxyd:Use a nonblocking alternative to getaddrinfo
72 * 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
74 * Add a new Distribute=$NUMBER key to socket units that makes use of SO_REUSEPORT to distribute network traffic on $NUMBER instances
76 * we probably should replace the left-over uses of strv_append() and replace them by strv_push() or strv_extend()
78 * move config_parse_path_strv() out of conf-parser.c
80 * After coming back from hibernation reset hibernation swap partition using the /dev/snapshot ioctl APIs
82 * If we try to find a unit via a dangling symlink, generate a clean
83 error. Currently, we just ignore it and read the unit from the search
86 * When a Type=forking service fails and needed another service, that
87 service is not cleaned up again when it has StopWhenUnneeded=yes
88 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2013-July/012141.html
90 * refuse boot if /etc/os-release is missing or /etc/machine-id cannot be set up
92 * given that logind/machined now let PID 1 do all nasty work, we can
93 probably reduce the capability set they retain substantially.
95 * btrfs raid assembly: some .device jobs stay stuck in the queue
97 * make sure gdm doesn't use multi-user-x but the new default X configuration file, and then remove multi-user-x from systemd
99 * man: the documentation of Restart= currently is very misleading and suggests the tools from ExecStartPre= might get restarted.
101 * load .d/*.conf dropins for device units
103 * gparted needs to disable auto-activation of mount units somehow, or
104 maybe we should stop doing auto-activation of this after boot
105 entirely. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=701676
106 Maybe take a BSD lock at the disk device node and teach udev to
107 check for that and suppress event handling.
109 * document logic of auto/noauto and fail/nofail in fstab in systemd.mount or systemd-fstab-generator man page
111 * something pulls in pcre as shared object dependency into our daemons such as hostnamed.
113 * allow implementation of InaccessibleDirectories=/ plus
114 ReadOnlyDirectories=... for whitelisting files for a service.
117 - default policy (allow uid == 0 and our own uid)
118 - access policy as vtable flag
119 - enforce alignment of pointers passed in
120 - when kdbus doesn't take our message without memfds, try again with memfds
121 - implement translator service
122 - implement busname unit type in systemd
124 - implement monitor logic
125 - properly map matches with well-known names against messages with unique names
126 - when triggering property change events, allow a NULL strv indicate that all properties listed as such are send out as changed
127 - see if we can drop more message validation on the sending side
128 - support "const" properties as flag
129 - add API to clone sd_bus_message objects
130 - SD_BUS_COMMENT() macro for inclusion in vtables, syntax inspired by gdbus
131 - make sd_bus_open_system_container() kdbus aware
134 * priority inheritance
137 - allow multiple signal handlers per signal
138 - when a handler returns an error, just turn off its event source,
139 but do not return anything up to the event loop caller. Instead
140 add parameter to sd_event_request_quit() to take retval. This way
141 errors rippling upwards are the option, not the default
142 - child pid handling: first invoke waitid(WNOHANG) and call event handler, only afterwards reap the process
143 - native support for watchdog stuff
145 * in the final killing spree, detect processes from the root directory, and
146 complain loudly if they have argv[0][0] == '@' set.
147 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=961044
149 * Introduce a way how we can kill the main process of a service with KillSignal, but all processes with SIGKILL later on
150 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=952634
152 * maybe add a warning to the unit file parses where the access mode of unit files is nonsensical.
154 * investigate endianness issues of UUID vs. GUID
156 * dbus: when a unit failed to load (i.e. is in UNIT_ERROR state), we
157 should be able to safely try another attempt when the bus call LoadUnit() is invoked.
159 * add a pam module that passes the hdd passphrase into the PAM stack and then expires it, for usage by gdm auto-login.
161 * add a pam module that on password changes updates any LUKS slot where the password matches
163 * maybe add a generator that looks for "systemd.run=" on the kernel cmdline for container usercases...
165 * timedatctl, localectl: possibly make some commands work without the daemon, for chroot situations...
167 * cgtop: make cgtop useful in a container
170 - add 'set -e' to scripts in test/
171 - make stuff in test/ work with separate output dir
172 - qemu wrapper script: http://www.spinics.net/lists/kvm/msg72389.html
174 * systemctl delete x.snapshot leaves no trace in logs (at least at default level).
176 * make the coredump collector tool move itself into the user's cgroup
177 so that the coredump is properly written to the user's own journal
180 * seems that when we follow symlinks to units we prefer the symlink
181 destination path over /etc and /usr. We shouldn't do that. Instead
182 /etc should always override /run+/usr and also any symlink
185 * when isolating, try to figure out a way how we implicitly can order
186 all units we stop before the isolating unit...
188 * add ConditionArchitecture= or so
190 * teach ConditionKernelCommandLine= globs or regexes (in order to match foobar={no,0,off})
192 * Support SO_REUSEPORT with socket activation:
193 - Let systemd maintain a pool of servers.
194 - Use for seamless upgrades, by running the new server before stopping the
197 * after all byte-wise realloc() is slow, even on glibc, so i guess we
198 need manual exponential loops after all
200 * BootLoaderSpec: drop allowing ext234 for $BOOT. Clarify that the
201 kernel has to be in $BOOT. Clarify that the boot loader should be
202 installed to the ESP. Define a way how an installer can figure out
203 whether a BLS compliant boot loader is installed.
205 * think about requeuing jobs when daemon-reload is issued? usecase:
206 the initrd issues a reload after fstab from the host is accessible
207 and we might want to requeue the mounts local-fs acquired through
210 * systemd-inhibit: make taking delay locks useful: support sending SIGINT or SIGTERM on PrepareForSleep()
212 * journal-or-kmsg is currently broken? See reverted commit 4a01181e460686d8b4a543b1dfa7f77c9e3c5ab8.
214 * remove any syslog support from log.c -- we probably can't do this before split-off udev is gone for good
216 * shutdown logging: store to EFI var, and store to USB stick?
218 * write UI tool that pops up emergency messages from the journal as notification
220 * think about window-manager-run-as-user-service problem: exit 0 → activate shutdown.target; exit != 0 → restart service
222 * msgcatalog determine default language of entries from the catalog
223 file name. i.e. foobar.de_DE.catalog would set the default entry
224 name for the entries to de_DE if they aren't explicitly suffixed
227 * use "log level" rather than "log priority" everywhere
229 * timedate: have global on/off switches for auto-time (NTP), and auto-timezone that connman can subscribe to.
231 * dev-setup.c: when running in a container, create a tiny stub udev
232 database with the systemd tag set for all network interfaces found,
233 so that libudev reports them as present, and systemd's .device units
236 * merge unit_kill_common() and unit_kill_context()
238 * introduce ExecCondition= in services
241 - write man page for efi boot generator
242 - honor language efi variables for default language selection (if there are any?)
243 - honor timezone efi variables for default timezone selection (if there are any?)
244 - change bootctl to be backed by systemd-bootd to control temporary and persistent default boot goal plus efi variables
246 * maybe do not install getty@tty1.service symlink in /etc but in /usr?
248 * re-enable "make check" for gtk-doc (broken for unknown reason)
250 * fstab: add new mount option x-systemd-after=/foobar/waldo to allow manual dependencies to other mount points
251 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=812826
253 * print a nicer explanation if people use variable/specifier expansion in ExecStart= for the first word
255 * mount: turn dependency information from /proc/self/mountinfo into dependency information between systemd units.
258 - logind: optionally, ignore idle-hint logic for autosuspend, block suspend as long as a session is around
259 - When we update the kernel all kind of hibernation should be prohibited until shutdown/reboot
260 - logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
261 - Add pretty name for seats in logind
262 - logind: allow showing logout dialog from system?
263 - logind: non-local X11 server handling
264 - logind: add equivalent to sd_pid_get_owner_uid() to the D-Bus API
265 - pam: when leaving a session explicitly exclude the ReleaseSession() caller process from the killing spree
266 - we should probably handle SIGTERM/SIGINT to not leave dot files around, just in case
267 - when logging out, remove user-owned sysv and posix IPC objects
268 - session scopes/user unit: add RequiresMountsFor for the home directory of the user
269 - add Suspend() bus calls which take timestamps to fix double suspend issues when somebody hits suspend and closes laptop quickly.
270 - if pam_systemd is invoked by su from a process that is outside of a
271 any session we should probably just become a NOP, since that's
272 usually not a real user session but just some system code that just
275 * exec: when deinitializating a tty device fix the perms and group, too, not only when initializing. Set access mode/gid to 0620/tty.
277 * service: watchdog logic: for testing purposes allow ping, but do not require pong
280 - import and delete pstore filesystem content at startup
281 - journald: also get thread ID from client, plus thread name
282 - journal: when waiting for journal additions in the client always sleep at least 1s or so, in order to minimize wakeups
283 - add API to close/reopen/get fd for journal client fd in libsystemd-journal.
284 - fallback to /dev/log based logging in libsystemd-journal, if we can't log natively?
285 - declare the local journal protocol stable in the wiki interface chart
286 - journal: reuse XZ context
287 - sd-journal: speed up sd_journal_get_data() with transparent hash table in bg
288 - journald: when dropping msgs due to ratelimit make sure to write
289 "dropped %u messages" not only when we are about to print the next
290 message that works, but alraedy after a short tiemout
291 - check if we can make journalctl by default use --follow mode inside of less if called without args?
292 - maybe add API to send pairs of iovecs via sd_journal_send
293 - journal: when writing journal auto-rotate if time jumps backwards
294 - journal: add a setgid "systemd-journal" utility to invoke from libsystemd-journal, which passes fds via STDOUT and does PK access
295 - journactl: support negative filtering, i.e. FOOBAR!="waldo",
296 and !FOOBAR for events without FOOBAR.
297 - journal: send out marker messages every now and then, and immediately sync with fdatasync() afterwards, in order to have hourly guaranteed syncs.
298 - 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.
299 - journal: find a way to allow dropping history early, based on priority, other rules
300 - journal: When used on NFS, check payload hashes
301 - journald: check whether it is OK if the client can still modify delivered journal entries
302 - journal live copy, based on libneon (client) and libmicrohttpd (server)
303 - journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
304 - refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
305 - journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
306 - journal: deal nicely with byte-by-byte copied files, especially regards header
307 - journal: store euid in journal if it differs from uid
308 - journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the components would fit
309 - Replace utmp, wtmp, btmp, and lastlog completely with journal
310 - journalctl: instead --after-cursor= maybe have a --cursor=XYZ+1 syntax?
311 - journalctl: support -M to read journal of containers and determine journal directory from root directory of container
312 - tmpfiles: when applying ownership to /run/log/journal, also do this for the journal fails contained in it
313 - when a kernel driver logs in a tight loop, we should ratelimit that too.
314 - journald: optionally, log debug messages to /run but everything else to /var
315 - journald: when we drop syslog messages because the syslog socket is
316 full, make sure to write how many messages are lost as first thing
317 to syslog when it works again.
318 - journald: make sure ratelimit is actually really per-service with the new cgroup changes
319 - change systemd-journal-flush into a service that stays around during
320 boot, and causes the journal to be moved back to /run on shutdown,
321 so that we don't keep /var busy. This needs to happen synchronously,
322 hence doing this via signals is not going to work.
325 - document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fileds in
326 [Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
327 - man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
328 - Document word splitting syntax for ExecStart= and friends
329 - document that units from /etc override those from /usr and /run
330 - document the exit codes when services fail before they are exec()ed
331 - document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
332 - document in wiki how to map ical recurrence events to systemd timer unit calendar specifications
333 - add a man page containing packaging guidelines and recommending usage of things like Documentation=, PrivateTmp=, PrivateNetwork= and ReadOnlyDirectories=/etc /usr.
334 - document systemd-journal-flush.service properly
335 - man: remove .include documentation, and instead push people to use .d/*.conf
336 - documentation: recommend to connect the timer units of a service to the service via Also= in [Install]
337 - man: document the very specific env the shutdown drop-in tools live in
338 - man: extend runlevel(8) to mention that runlevels suck, and are dead. Maybe add runlevel(7) with a note about that too
339 - man: add more examples to man pages
340 - man: maybe sort directives in man pages, and take sections from --help and apply them to man too
343 - systemctl list-jobs - show dependencies
344 - add systemctl switch to dump transaction without executing it
345 - Add a verbose mode to "systemctl start" and friends that explains what is being done or not done
346 - "systemctl disable" on a static unit prints no message and does
347 nothing. "systemctl enable" does nothing, and gives a bad message
348 about it. Should fix both to print nice actionable messages.
349 - print nice message from systemctl --failed if there are no entries shown, and hook that into ExecStartPre of rescue.service/emergency.service
350 - add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
351 - systemctl enable: improve the success messages (i.e. more human readable, less shell-like)
352 - systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into doesn't exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
353 - systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
354 - support "systemctl stop foobar@.service" to stop all units matching a certain template
355 - Something is wrong with symlink handling of "autovt@.service" in "systemctl list-unit-files"
356 - rework wait filter to not require match callback
357 - better error message if you run systemctl without systemd running
358 - systemctl status output should should include list of triggering units and their status
359 - in systemctl list-timers show time trggering units ran last
362 - "systemctl mask" should find all names by which a unit is accessible
363 (i.e. by scanning for symlinks to it) and link them all to /dev/null
364 - "systemctl disable" of a unit instance removes all symlinks, but should
365 only remove the instance symlink (systemctl disable of a template
366 unit however should remove them all).
367 - systemctl list-unit-files should list generated files (and probably with a new state "generated" for them, or so)
368 - systemctl: maybe add "systemctl add-wants" or so...
370 * introduce ntp.service (or suchlike) as symlink that is used to arbitrate between various NTP implementations
372 * deal with sendmail/postfix exclusivity
375 - timer events with system resume
376 - timer units should get the ability to trigger when:
377 o CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (TFD_TIMER_CANCEL_ON_SET)
379 - Support 2012-02~4 as syntax for specifying the fourth to last day of the month.
380 - calendarspec: support value ranges with ".." notation. Example: 2013-4..8-1
381 - 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
382 - Modulate timer frequency based on battery state
383 - anacron-like feature
385 * update the kernel's TZ (sys_tz) when DST changes
387 * sync down the system time to the RTC when:
388 - CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (the user explicitely requested a time set)
389 - DST/timezone changes && ntp is active && RTC-in-localtime (never do it without ntp)
390 This takes care of syncing ntpdate updates to the RTC, and DST updates for localtime
391 mode, it will never touch the RTC if the no reliable time source is active or the
392 user did not request anything like it.
394 * if booted in "quiet" mode, and an error happens, turn on status
395 output again, so that the emergency mode isn't totally
396 surprising. Also, terminate plymouth.
398 * libunwind support for coredump pattern hook, and includes this in
399 the message for coredumps. After all, libunwind is now capable to
400 unwind coredumps since a few weeks ago. This probably requires that
401 we have nice support for multi-line messages on display in
402 logs-show.c. Alternatively: use libelfutil, which seems to be the
403 better supported alternative.
405 * add libsystemd-password or so to query passwords during boot using the password agent logic
407 * 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().
409 * fedup: add --unit to systemctl switch-root somehow
410 * fedup: don't delete initrd on switch-root
413 * timedated: refuse time changes when NTP is on
415 * clean up date formatting and parsing so that all absolute/relative timestamps we format can also be parsed
417 * on shutdown: move utmp, wall, audit logic all into PID 1 (or logind?), get rid of systemd-update-utmp-runlevel
419 * add "provisioning" instructions to setup an empty /etc + /var
420 - used to setup a new container from a shared /usr
421 - superset of tmpfiles model
422 - instructions shipped by packages and stored in /usr/lib/
423 - compose /etc/passwd and /etc/group, copy files
424 - able to create uid + gid used by packages, for file ownership
426 * make repeated alt-ctrl-del presses printing a dump, or even force a reboot without
427 waiting for the timeout
429 * hostnamed: before returning information from /etc/machine-info.conf check the modification data and reread. Similar for localed, ...
431 * currently x-systemd.timeout is lost in the initrd, since crypttab is copied into dracut, but fstab isn't
434 - nspawn: consider changing users for -u with su, so that NSS resolving works correctly
435 - nspawn: implement personality changes a la linux32(8)
436 - nspawn: --read-only is not applied recursively to submounts
437 - nspawn: make use of device cgroup controller by default
438 - bind mount read-only the cgroup tree higher than nspawn
439 - nspawn: investigate whether we can support the same as LXC's
440 lxc.network.type=phys mode, and pass through entire network
441 interfaces to the container
442 - nspawn: maybe add a way to drop additional caps, in addition to add additional caps
443 - nspawn: maybe explicitly reset loginuid?
444 - nspawn: make it work for dwalsh and shared /usr containers -- tmpfs mounts as command line parameters, selinux exec context
445 - refuses to boot containers without /etc/machine-id (OK?), and with empty /etc/machine-id (not OK).
446 - add an option to nspawn that uses seccomp to make socket(AF_NETLINK,
447 SOCK_RAW, NETLINK_AUDIT) fail the the appropriate error code that
448 makes the audit userspace to think auditing is not available in the
452 - cryptsetup-generator: allow specification of passwords in crypttab itself
453 - move cryptsetup key caching into kernel keyctl?
454 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54982
455 - support rd.luks.allow-discards= kernel cmdline params in cryptsetup generator
457 * hw watchdog: optionally try to use the preset watchdog timeout instead of always overriding it
458 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54712
460 * after deserializing sockets in socket.c we should reapply sockopts and things
462 * make timer units go away after they elapsed
464 * http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2012-September/006502.html
465 (network and remote-fs on shutdown)
467 * come up with a nice way to write queue/read_ahead_kb for a block device without interfering with readahead
469 * move PID 1 segfaults to /var/lib/systemd/coredump?
471 * create /sbin/init symlinks from the build system
473 * Query Paul Moore about relabelling socket fds while they are open
475 * allow writing multiple conditions in unit files on one line
477 * explore multiple service instances per listening socket idea
479 * shutdown: don't read-only mount anything when running in container
481 * MountFlags=shared acts as MountFlags=slave right now.
483 * ReadOnlyDirectories= is not applied recursively to submounts
485 * drop PID 1 reloading, only do reexecing (difficult: Reload()
486 currently is properly synchronous, Reexec() is weird, because we
487 can't delay the response properly until we are back, so instead of
488 being properly synchronous we just keep open the fd and close it
489 when done. That means clients don't get a successful method reply,
490 but much rather a disconnect on success.
492 * properly handle loop back mounts via fstab, especially regards to fsck/passno
494 * allow services with no ExecStart= but with an ExecStop=
496 * dracut-shutdown needs to be ordered before unmounting /boot
498 * initialize the hostname from the fs label of /, if /etc/hostname does not exist?
500 * rename "userspace" to "core-os"
503 - syscall filter: add knowledge about compat syscalls
504 - syscall filter: don't enforce no new privs?
505 - syscall filter: option to return EPERM rather than SIGSYS?
506 - syscall filter: port to libseccomp
507 - system-wide seccomp filter
509 * load-fragment: when loading a unit file via a chain of symlinks
510 verify that it isn't masked via any of the names traversed.
512 * introduce Type=pid-file
514 * change Requires=basic.target to RequisiteOverride=basic.target
516 * when breaking cycles drop sysv services first, then services from /run, then from /etc, then from /usr
518 * automount: implement expire:
519 - set superblock timeout AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_TIMEOUT_CMD
520 - periodically run AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_EXPIRE_CMD
521 - every timeout/4 (original autofs logic)
522 - blocking, needs a thread
524 - receive expire packet on pipe if kernel tells the timeout is over
526 - answer expire packet on pipe with AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_{READY,FAIL}_CMD
527 - AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_EXPIRE_CMD returns
529 * ExecOnFailure=/usr/bin/foo
532 - remove src/udev/udev-builtin-firmware.c (CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER=n)
535 - add trigger --subsystem-match=usb/usb_device device
537 * cleanup syslog 'priority' vs. 'level' wording
539 * 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
541 * support container_ttys=
543 * introduce mix of BindTo and Requisite
545 * add DeleteSocketsOnStop=yes|no option to socket units
547 * There's currently no way to cancel fsck (used to be possible via C-c or c on the console)
549 * add option to sockets to avoid activation. Instead just drop packets/connections, see http://cyberelk.net/tim/2012/02/15/portreserve-systemd-solution/
551 * default unix qlen is too small (10). bump sysctl? add sockopt?
553 * save coredump in Windows/Mozilla minidump format
555 * support crash reporting operation modes (https://live.gnome.org/GnomeOS/Design/Whiteboards/ProblemReporting)
557 * default to actual 32bit PIDs, via /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max
559 * be able to specify a forced restart of service A where service B depends on, in case B
560 needs to be auto-respawned?
562 * when a bus name of a service disappears from the bus make sure to queue further activation requests
565 - check systemd-tmpfiles for selinux context hookup for mknod(), symlink() and similar
566 - apply "x" on "D" too (see patch from William Douglas)
568 * for services: don't set $HOME in services unless requested
570 * hide PAM/TCPWrap options in fragment parser when compile time disabled
572 * when we automatically restart a service, ensure we restart its rdeps, too.
574 * allow Type=simple with PIDFile=
575 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=723942
577 * move PAM code into its own binary
579 * implement Register= switch in .socket units to enable registration
580 in Avahi, RPC and other socket registration services.
582 * make sure systemd-ask-password-wall does not shutdown systemd-ask-password-console too early
584 * support sd_notify() style notification when reload begins (RELOADING=1), reload is finished (READY=1), and add ReloadSignal= then to use in combination
586 * support sd_notify() style notification when shutting down, to make auto-exit bus services work (STOPPING=1)
588 * verify that the AF_UNIX sockets of a service in the fs still exist
589 when we start a service in order to avoid confusion when a user
590 assumes starting a service is enough to make it accessible
592 * support User= and Group= attributes for AF_UNIX sockets. (difficult, requires NSS from PID 1?)
594 * Make it possible to set the keymap independently from the font on
595 the kernel cmdline. Right now setting one resets also the other.
597 * and a dbus call to generate target from current state
600 - drop /.readahead on bigger upgrades with yum
601 - move readahead files into /var (look for them with .path units?)
602 - readahead: use BTRFS_IOC_DEFRAG_RANGE instead of BTRFS_IOC_DEFRAG ioctl, with START_IO
603 - readahead: when bumping /sys readahead variable save mtime and compare later to detect changes
604 - readahead: make use of EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT, as used by http://e4rat.sourceforge.net/
606 * add support for /bin/mount -s
608 * GC unreferenced jobs (such as .device jobs)
610 * write blog stories about:
611 - hwdb: what belongs into it, lsusb
612 - enabling dbus services
614 - how to make changes to sysctl and sysfs attributes
616 - how to pass throw-away units to systemd, or dynamically change properties of existing units
617 - how to integrate cgconfig and suchlike with systemd
618 - testing with Harald's awesome test kit
620 - how to develop against journal browsing APIs
621 - the journal HTTP iface
622 - non-cgroup resource management
623 - dynamic resource management with cgroups
624 - refreshed, longer missions statement
625 - calendar time events
626 - init=/bin/sh vs. "emergency" mode, vs. "rescue" mode, vs. "multi-user" mode, vs. "graphical" mode, and the debug shell
627 - how to create your own target
628 - instantiated apache, dovecot and so on
629 - hooking a script into various stages of shutdown/rearly booot
631 * allow port=0 in .socket units
633 * support systemd.mask= on the kernel command line.
635 * recreate systemd's D-Bus private socket file on SIGUSR2
637 * Support --test based on current system state
639 * investigate whether the gnome pty helper should be moved into systemd, to provide cgroup support.
641 * maybe introduce ExecRestartPre=
643 * dot output for --test showing the 'initial transaction'
645 * port over to LISTEN_FDS/LISTEN_PID:
648 - libvirtd (/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock-ro)
649 - bluetoothd (/var/run/sdp! @/org/bluez/audio!)
652 * fingerprint.target, wireless.target, gps.target, netdevice.target
654 * io priority during initialization
656 * drop cap bounding set in readahead and other services
659 - figure out a simple way to wait for journal events in a way that
661 - add documentation to systemd.daemon
664 - plot per-process IO utilization
665 - group processes based on service association (cgroups)
666 - document initcall_debug
667 - kernel cmdline "bootchart" option for simplicity?
670 - Make sure ID_PATH is always exported and complete for
671 network devices where possible, so we can safely rely
673 - Check if Driver= is broken, or just my driver (bcma)
676 - replace sd_rtnl_message_append() by type-safe versions
677 - improve container support, and add support for entering containers when reading
678 - add support for more attribute types
683 - natively watch for dbus-*.service symlinks (PENDING)
684 - teach dbus to activate all services it finds in /etc/systemd/services/org-*.service
686 * fix alsa mixer restore to not print error when no config is stored
688 * make cryptsetup lower --iter-time
690 * patch kernel for xattr support in /dev, /proc/, /sys?
692 * NTP: the kernel's 11-minutes-mode syncs the system time to the RTC, but only
693 in an ~30 minutes window. It does not adjust larger differences. Find a way
694 to tell the kernel, to always do a full time sync when the RTC is in UTC and
695 we are in 11-minutes-mode. When we trust the system time to NTP we also want
698 * kernel: add device_type = "fb", "fbcon" to class "graphics"
700 * drop accountsservice's StandardOutput=syslog and Type=dbus fields
702 * dbus upstream still refers to dbus.target and shouldn't
704 * dbus: in fedora, make /var/lib/dbus/machine-id a symlink to /etc/machine-id
706 * add "# export SYSTEMD_PAGER=" to bash login
708 * /usr/bin/service should actually show the new command line
710 * 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=
712 * fedora: F20: go timer units all the way, leave cron.daily for cron
714 * neither pkexec nor sudo initialize environ[] from the PAM environment?
716 * fedora: update policy to declare access mode and ownership of unit files to root:root 0644, and add an rpmlint check for it
720 * look for close() vs. close_nointr() vs. close_nointr_nofail()
722 * check for strerror(r) instead of strerror(-r)
724 * Use PR_SET_PROCTITLE_AREA if it becomes available in the kernel
728 * set_put(), hashmap_put() return values check. i.e. == 0 doesn't free()!
730 * use secure_getenv() instead of getenv() where appropriate
732 * link up selected blog stories from man pages and unit files Documentation= fields
734 Scheduled for removal or fixing:
736 * xxxOverridable dependencies (probably: fix)
