3 * Should systemctl status \* work on all unit types, not just .service?
5 * Dangling symlinks of .automount unit files in .wants/ directories, set up
6 automount points even when the original .automount file did not exist
7 anymore. Only the .mount unit was still around.
9 * ExecStart with unicode characters fails in strv_split_quoted:
12 Environment=ONE='one' "TWO='two two' too" THREE=
13 ExecStart=/bin/python3 -c 'import sys;print(sys.argv)' $ONE $TWO $THREE
15 * MEMORY return code is overloaded for syntax errors in the command line.
16 str_split_quoted() should return a real return code, so spawn_child can
17 report the failure properly.
21 * Fedora: add an rpmlint check that verifies that all unit files in the RPM are listed in %systemd_post macros.
23 * Fedora: move kernel image to /usr/lib/modules/, kernel-install will take care of populating /boot
25 * Fedora: remove /etc/resolv.conf tmpfiles hack
27 * wiki: update journal format documentation for lz4 additions
29 * When lz4 gets an API for lz4 command output, make use of it to
30 compress coredumps in a way compatible with /usr/bin/lz4.
32 Release 219 preparations:
34 * support mbr raw disk images in systemd-nspawn, so that we can boot
35 fedora cloud images unmodified (change suffix for search for files
38 * dkr import hash verification
40 * rework journald sigbus stuff to use mutex
42 * create importd daemon, move "systemd-import" tool into machinectl
44 * change default container location from /var/lib/container to /var/lib/machines
48 * nspawn: don't change superblock mount options from nspawn for cgroup hierarchies
50 * "machinectl list-images" should show os-release data, as well as machine-info data (including deployment level)
52 * nspawn: when start a container "foobar" look for its configuration in a file "foobar.nspawn" in /etc/systemd/nspawn/ as well as next to the actualy directory or image to boot
54 * Port various tools to make use of verbs.[ch], where applicable
56 * Check all invocations of access() and consider turning them into laccess()
58 * "machinectl history"
62 * "machinectl commit" that takes a writable snapshot of a tree, invokes a shell in it, and marks it read-only after use
64 * "machinectl status" should show 10 most recent log lines of both the host logs of the unit of the machine, plus the logs generated in the machine
66 * add transparent btrfs pool in a loopback file in /var if btrfs operations (such as systemd-import pull-dkr) are used and /var is not a btrfs file system
68 * systemd-nspawn -x should support ephemeral instances of gpt images
70 * move machinectl's mount and copy commands into machined
72 * hostnamectl: show root image uuid
74 * sysfs set api in libudev is not const
76 * Find a solution for SMACK capabilities stuff:
77 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-December/026188.html
79 * port libmount hookup to use API's own inotify interface, as soon as that is table in libmount
81 * "systemctl preset-all" should probably order the unit files it
82 operates on lexicographically before starting to work, in order to
83 ensure deterministic behaviour if two unit files conflict (like DMs
86 * resolved should optionally register additional per-interface LLMNR
87 names, so that for the container case we can establish the same name
88 (maybe "host") for referencing the server, everywhere.
90 * systemd-journal-upload (or a new, related tool): allow pushing out
91 journal messages onto the network in BSD syslog protocol,
92 continuously. Default to some link-local IP mcast group, to make this
93 useful as a one-stop debugging tool.
95 * synchronize console access with BSD locks:
96 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-October/024582.html
98 * as soon as we have kdbus, and sender timestamps, revisit coalescing multiple parallel daemon reloads:
99 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-December/025862.html
101 * set $REMOTE_IP (or $REMOTE_ADDR/$REMOTE_PORT) environment variable when doing per-connection socket activation. use format introduced by xinetd or CGI for this
103 * the install state probably shouldn't get confused by generated units, think dbus1/kdbus compat!
105 * in systemctl list-unit-files: show the install value the presets would suggest for a service in a third column
107 * we should try harder to collapse start jobs for swaps that end up being the same:
108 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-November/025359.html
110 * timedated should compensate on SetTime for the time spent in polkit
112 * figure out when we can use the coarse timers
114 * sd-resolve: drop res_query wrapping, people should call via the bus to resolved instead
116 * add "systemctl start -v foobar.service" that shows logs of a service
117 while the start command runs. This is non-trivial to do without
118 races though, since we should flush out all journal messages before
119 returning from the "systemctl stop".
121 * firstboot: make it useful to be run immediately after yum --installroot to set up a machine. (most specifically, make --copy-root-password work even if /etc/passwd already exists
123 * timesyncd + resolved: add ugly bus calls to set NTP and DNS servers per-interface, for usage by NM
125 * networkd-wait-online really should have a timeout by default
127 * add infrastructure to allocate dynamic/transient users and UID ranges, for use in user-namespaced containers, per-seat gdm login screens and gdm guest sessions
129 * machined: add an API so that libvirt-lxc can inform us about network interfaces being removed or added to an existing machine
131 * maybe add support for specifier expansion in user.conf, specifically DefaultEnvironment=
133 * code cleanup: retire FOREACH_WORD_QUOTED, port to unquote_first_word() loops instead
135 * introduce systemd-timesync-wait.service or so to sync on an NTP fix?
137 * systemd --user should issue sd_notify() upon reaching basic.target, not on becoming idle
139 * consider showing the unit names during boot up in the status output, not just the unit descriptions
141 * dhcp: do we allow configuring dhcp routes on interfaces that are not the one we got the dhcp info from?
143 * maybe allow timer units with an empty Units= setting, so that they
144 can be used for resuming the system but nothing else.
146 * what to do about udev db binary stability for apps? (raw access is not an option)
148 * maybe provide an API to allow migration of foreign PIDs into existing scopes.
150 * maybe support a new very "soft" reboot mode, that simply kills all processes, disassembles everything, flushes /run and sysvipc, and then reexecs systemd again
152 * man: document that corrupted journal files is nothing to act on
154 * man: maybe use the word "inspect" rather than "introspect"?
156 * "machinectl list" should probably show columns for OS version and IP addresses
158 * systemctl: if some operation fails, show log output?
161 - allow creation of units from scratch
162 - use equvalent of cat() to insert existing config as a comment, prepended with #.
163 Upon editor exit, lines with one # are removed, lines with two # are left with one #, etc.
165 * refcounting in sd-resolve is borked
167 * exponential backoff in timesyncd and resolved when we cannot reach a server
169 * tmpfiles: port to unquote_many_words(), similar to sysusers
171 * unquote_many_words() should probably be used by a lot of code that
172 currently uses FOREACH_WORD and friends. For example, most conf
173 parsing callbacks should use it.
175 * merge ~/.local/share and ~/.local/lib into one similar /usr/lib and /usr/share....
177 * systemd.show_status= should probably have a mode where only failed
181 - add LLDP client side support
182 - the DHCP lease data (such as NTP/DNS) is still made available when
183 a carrier is lost on a link. It should be removed instantly.
184 - .network setting that allows overriding of the hostname to send to the dhcp server
185 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-July/021550.html
186 - expose in the API the following bits:
187 - option 15, domain name and/or option 119, search list
188 - option 12, host name and/or option 81, fqdn
189 - option 100, 101, timezone
190 - option 123, 144, geolocation
191 - option 252, configure http proxy (PAC/wpad)
192 - networkd's dhcp server should transparently pass on the DNS and
193 NTP server list it got from user configuration and its dhcp client
194 to clients. It should also pass on its own timezone information.
195 - provide a way to define a per-network interface default metric value
196 for all routes to it. possibly a second default for DHCP routes.
197 - allow Name= to be specified repeatedly in the [Match] section. Maybe also
198 support Name=foo*|bar*|baz ?
201 - put networkd events and rtnl events at a higher priority, so that
202 we always process them before we process client requests
204 - use base64 for key presentation?
205 - add display of private key types (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4034#appendix-A.1.1)?
206 - add nice formatting of DNS timestamps
211 - DNS-SD service registration from socket units
215 - maybe randomize DNS UDP source ports
216 - maybe compare query section of DNS replies
218 * Allow multiple ExecStart= for all Type= settings, so that we can cover rescue.service nicely
220 * Add a new verb "systemctl top"
222 * add new gpt type for btrfs volumes
224 * support empty /etc boots nicely:
225 - nspawn/gpt-generator: introduce new gpt partition type for /usr
226 - fstab-generator: support systemd.volatile=yes|no|state on the kernel cmdline, too, similar to nspawn's --volatile=
228 * generator that automatically discovers btrfs subvolumes, identifies their purpose based on some xattr on them.
230 * timer units: actually add extra delays to timer units with high AccuracySec values, don't start them already when we are awake...
232 * a way for container managers to turn off getty starting via $container_headless= or so...
234 * figure out a nice way how we can let the admin know what child/sibling unit causes cgroup membership for a specific unit
236 * mount_cgroup_controllers(): symlinks need to get the label applied
238 * For timer units: add some mechanisms so that timer units that trigger immediately on boot do not have the services
239 they run added to the initial transaction and thus confuse Type=idle.
241 * 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)
243 * sd-event: generate a failure of a default event loop is executed out-of-thread
245 * add bus api to query unit file's X fields.
247 * consider adding RuntimeDirectoryUser= + RuntimeDirectoryGroup=
249 * sd-event: define more intervals where we will shift wakeup intervals around in, 1h, 6h, 24h, ...
251 * gpt-auto-generator:
252 - Support LUKS for root devices
253 - Define new partition type for encrypted swap? Support probed LUKS for encrypted swap?
254 - Make /home automount rather than mount?
256 * add generator that pulls in systemd-network from containers when
257 CAP_NET_ADMIN is set, more than the loopback device is defined, even
258 when it is otherwise off
260 * MessageQueueMessageSize= and RLimitFSIZE= (and suchlike) should use parse_iec_size().
262 * "busctl status" works only as root on dbus1, since we cannot read
265 * implement Distribute= in socket units to allow running multiple
266 service instances processing the listening socket, and open this up
269 * socket units: support creating sockets in different namespace,
270 opening it up for JoinsNamespaceOf=. This would require to fork off
271 a tiny process that joins the namespace and creates/binds the socket
272 and passes this back to PID1 via SCM_RIGHTS. This also could be used
273 to allow Chown/chgrp on sockets without requiring NSS in PID 1.
275 * New service property: maximum CPU and wallclock runtime for a service
277 * introduce bus call FreezeUnit(s, b), as well as "systemctl freeze
278 $UNIT" and "systemctl thaw $UNIT" as wrappers around this. The calls
279 should SIGSTOP all unit processes in a loop until all processes of
280 it are fully stopped. This can later be used for app management by
281 desktop UIs such as gnome-shell to freeze apps that are not visible
282 on screen, not unlike how job control works on the shell
285 - manager property enumeration was broken when systemd moved to /usr/lib/
288 - implement per-slice CPUFairScheduling=1 switch
289 - handle jointly mounted controllers correctly
290 - introduce high-level settings for RT budget, swappiness
291 - how to reset dynamically changed unit cgroup attributes sanely?
292 - when reloading configuration, apply new cgroup configuration
293 - when recursively showing the cgroup hierarchy, optionally also show
294 the hierarchies of child processes
297 - allow creating auxiliary units with the same call
298 - add field to transient units that indicate whether systemd or somebody else saves/restores its settings, for integration with libvirt
299 - ensure scope units may be started only a single time
301 * Automatically configure swap partition to use for hibernation by looking for largest swap partition on the root disk?
303 * when we detect low battery and no AC on boot, show pretty splash and refuse boot
305 * machined, localed: when we try to kill an empty cgroup, generate an ESRCH error over the bus
307 * libsystemd-journal, libsystemd-login, libudev: add calls to easily attach these objects to sd-event event loops
309 * be more careful what we export on the bus as (usec_t) 0 and (usec_t) -1
311 * unify dispatch table in systemctl_main() and friends
313 * 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
315 * After coming back from hibernation reset hibernation swap partition using the /dev/snapshot ioctl APIs
317 * If we try to find a unit via a dangling symlink, generate a clean
318 error. Currently, we just ignore it and read the unit from the search
321 * refuse boot if /etc/os-release is missing or /etc/machine-id cannot be set up
323 * btrfs raid assembly: some .device jobs stay stuck in the queue
325 * make sure gdm does not use multi-user-x but the new default X configuration file, and then remove multi-user-x from systemd
327 * man: the documentation of Restart= currently is very misleading and suggests the tools from ExecStartPre= might get restarted.
329 * load .d/*.conf dropins for device units
331 * allow implementation of InaccessibleDirectories=/ plus
332 ReadOnlyDirectories=... for whitelisting files for a service.
335 - kdbus: process fd=-1 for incoming msgs
336 - make dsrt happy, and change userspace header for kdbus to yyyyuta{tv}v
337 - port to sd-resolve for connecting to TCP dbus servers
338 - kdbus: maybe add controlling tty metadata fields
339 - see if we can introduce a new sd_bus_get_owner_machine_id() call to retrieve the machine ID of the machine of the bus itself
340 - when kdbus does not take our message without memfds, try again with memfds
341 - see if we can drop more message validation on the sending side
342 - add API to clone sd_bus_message objects
343 - make AddMatch calls on dbus1 transports async?
344 - kdbus: matches against source or destination pids for an "strace -p"-like feel. Problem: The PID info needs to be available in userspace too...
345 - longer term: priority inheritance
348 - NameLost/NameAcquired obsolete
351 - update systemd.special(7) to mention that dbus.socket is only about the compatibility socket now
352 - test bloom filter generation indexes
353 - bus-proxy: when passing messages from kdbus, make sure we properly
354 handle the case where a large number of fds is appended that we
355 cannot pass into sendmsg() of the AF_UNIX sokcet (which only accepts
357 - kdbus: introduce a concept of "send-only" connections
358 - kdbus: add counter for refused unicast messages that is passed out via the RECV ioctl. SImilar to the counter for dropped multicast messages we already have.
361 - allow multiple signal handlers per signal?
362 - document chaining of signal handler for SIGCHLD and child handlers
364 * in the final killing spree, detect processes from the root directory, and
365 complain loudly if they have argv[0][0] == '@' set.
366 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=961044
368 * investigate endianness issues of UUID vs. GUID
370 * dbus: when a unit failed to load (i.e. is in UNIT_ERROR state), we
371 should be able to safely try another attempt when the bus call LoadUnit() is invoked.
373 * add a pam module that passes the hdd passphrase into the PAM stack and then expires it, for usage by gdm auto-login.
375 * add a pam module that on password changes updates any LUKS slot where the password matches
377 * maybe add a generator that looks for "systemd.run=" on the kernel cmdline for container usercases...
379 * cgtop: make cgtop useful in a container
382 - add 'set -e' to scripts in test/
383 - make stuff in test/ work with separate output dir
385 * seems that when we follow symlinks to units we prefer the symlink
386 destination path over /etc and /usr. We should not do that. Instead
387 /etc should always override /run+/usr and also any symlink
390 * when isolating, try to figure out a way how we implicitly can order
391 all units we stop before the isolating unit...
393 * teach ConditionKernelCommandLine= globs or regexes (in order to match foobar={no,0,off})
395 * after all byte-wise realloc() is slow, even on glibc, so i guess we
396 need manual exponential loops after all
398 * BootLoaderSpec: Clarify that the kernel has to be in $BOOT. Clarify
399 that the boot loader should be installed to the ESP. Define a way
400 how an installer can figure out whether a BLS compliant boot loader
403 * think about requeuing jobs when daemon-reload is issued? usecase:
404 the initrd issues a reload after fstab from the host is accessible
405 and we might want to requeue the mounts local-fs acquired through
408 * systemd-inhibit: make taking delay locks useful: support sending SIGINT or SIGTERM on PrepareForSleep()
410 * journal-or-kmsg is currently broken? See reverted commit 4a01181e460686d8b4a543b1dfa7f77c9e3c5ab8.
412 * remove any syslog support from log.c -- we probably cannot do this before split-off udev is gone for good
414 * shutdown logging: store to EFI var, and store to USB stick?
416 * write UI tool that pops up emergency messages from the journal as notification
418 * think about window-manager-run-as-user-service problem: exit 0 → activate shutdown.target; exit != 0 → restart service
420 * merge unit_kill_common() and unit_kill_context()
422 * introduce ExecCondition= in services
425 - honor language efi variables for default language selection (if there are any?)
426 - honor timezone efi variables for default timezone selection (if there are any?)
427 - change bootctl to be backed by systemd-bootd to control temporary and persistent default boot goal plus efi variables
429 * maybe do not install getty@tty1.service symlink in /etc but in /usr?
431 * re-enable "make check" for gtk-doc (broken for unknown reason)
433 * fstab: add new mount option x-systemd-after=/foobar/waldo to allow manual dependencies to other mount points
434 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=812826
436 * print a nicer explanation if people use variable/specifier expansion in ExecStart= for the first word
438 * mount: turn dependency information from /proc/self/mountinfo into dependency information between systemd units.
441 - logind: optionally, ignore idle-hint logic for autosuspend, block suspend as long as a session is around
442 - When we update the kernel all kind of hibernation should be prohibited until shutdown/reboot
443 - logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
444 - Add pretty name for seats in logind
445 - logind: allow showing logout dialog from system?
446 - we should probably handle SIGTERM/SIGINT to not leave dot files around, just in case
447 - session scopes/user unit: add RequiresMountsFor for the home directory of the user
448 - add Suspend() bus calls which take timestamps to fix double suspend issues when somebody hits suspend and closes laptop quickly.
449 - if pam_systemd is invoked by su from a process that is outside of a
450 any session we should probably just become a NOP, since that's
451 usually not a real user session but just some system code that just
453 - logind: make the Suspend()/Hibernate() bus calls wait for the for
454 the job to be completed. before returning, so that clients can wait
455 for "systemctl suspend" to finish to know when the suspending is
457 - logind: when the power button is pressed short, just popup a
458 logout dialog. If it is pressed for 1s, do the usual
459 shutdown. Inspiration are Macs here.
460 - logind: allow users to kill or lock their own sessions
461 - expose "Locked" property on logind sesison objects
462 - given that logind now lets PID 1 do all nasty work, we can
463 probably reduce the capability set it retains substantially.
464 (we need CAP_SYS_ADMIN for drmSetMaster(), so maybe not worth it)
465 - expose orientation sensors and tablet mode through logind
467 * exec: when deinitializating a tty device fix the perms and group, too, not only when initializing. Set access mode/gid to 0620/tty.
469 * service: watchdog logic: for testing purposes allow ping, but do not require pong
472 - consider introducing implicit _TTY= + _PPID= + _EUID= + _EGID= + _FSUID= + _FSGID= fields
473 - import and delete pstore filesystem content at startup
474 - journald: also get thread ID from client, plus thread name
475 - journal: when waiting for journal additions in the client always sleep at least 1s or so, in order to minimize wakeups
476 - add API to close/reopen/get fd for journal client fd in libsystemd-journal.
477 - fallback to /dev/log based logging in libsystemd-journal, if we cannot log natively?
478 - declare the local journal protocol stable in the wiki interface chart
479 - journal: reuse XZ context
480 - sd-journal: speed up sd_journal_get_data() with transparent hash table in bg
481 - journald: when dropping msgs due to ratelimit make sure to write
482 "dropped %u messages" not only when we are about to print the next
483 message that works, but alraedy after a short tiemout
484 - check if we can make journalctl by default use --follow mode inside of less if called without args?
485 - maybe add API to send pairs of iovecs via sd_journal_send
486 - journal: when writing journal auto-rotate if time jumps backwards
487 - journal: add a setgid "systemd-journal" utility to invoke from libsystemd-journal, which passes fds via STDOUT and does PK access
488 - journactl: support negative filtering, i.e. FOOBAR!="waldo",
489 and !FOOBAR for events without FOOBAR.
490 - journal: send out marker messages every now and then, and immediately sync with fdatasync() afterwards, in order to have hourly guaranteed syncs.
491 - 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.
492 - journal: find a way to allow dropping history early, based on priority, other rules
493 - journal: When used on NFS, check payload hashes
494 - journal live copy, based on libneon (client) and libmicrohttpd (server)
495 - journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
496 - refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
497 - journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
498 - journal: deal nicely with byte-by-byte copied files, especially regards header
499 - journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the components would fit
500 - Replace utmp, wtmp, btmp, and lastlog completely with journal
501 - journalctl: instead --after-cursor= maybe have a --cursor=XYZ+1 syntax?
502 - when a kernel driver logs in a tight loop, we should ratelimit that too.
503 - journald: optionally, log debug messages to /run but everything else to /var
504 - journald: when we drop syslog messages because the syslog socket is
505 full, make sure to write how many messages are lost as first thing
506 to syslog when it works again.
507 - journald: make sure ratelimit is actually really per-service with the new cgroup changes
508 - change systemd-journal-flush into a service that stays around during
509 boot, and causes the journal to be moved back to /run on shutdown,
510 so that we do not keep /var busy. This needs to happen synchronously,
511 hence doing this via signals is not going to work.
512 - optionally support running journald from the command line for testing purposes in external projects
513 - journald: allow per-priority and per-service retention times when rotating/vacuuming
514 - journald: make use of uid-range.h to managed uid ranges to split
516 - journalctl: add the ability to look for the most recent process of a binary. journalctl /usr/bin/X11 --pid=-1 or so...
517 - improve journalctl performance by loading journal files
518 lazily. Encode just enough information in the file name, so that we
519 do not have to open it to know that it is not interesting for us, for
520 the most common operations.
523 - document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fields in
524 [Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
525 - man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
526 - document the exit codes when services fail before they are exec()ed
527 - document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
528 - document in wiki how to map ical recurrence events to systemd timer unit calendar specifications
529 - add a man page containing packaging guidelines and recommending usage of things like Documentation=, PrivateTmp=, PrivateNetwork= and ReadOnlyDirectories=/etc /usr.
530 - document systemd-journal-flush.service properly
531 - documentation: recommend to connect the timer units of a service to the service via Also= in [Install]
532 - man: document the very specific env the shutdown drop-in tools live in
533 - man: extend runlevel(8) to mention that runlevels suck, and are dead. Maybe add runlevel(7) with a note about that too
534 - man: add more examples to man pages
535 - man: maybe sort directives in man pages, and take sections from --help and apply them to man too
538 - systemctl list-jobs - show dependencies
539 - add systemctl switch to dump transaction without executing it
540 - Add a verbose mode to "systemctl start" and friends that explains what is being done or not done
541 - "systemctl disable" on a static unit prints no message and does
542 nothing. "systemctl enable" does nothing, and gives a bad message
543 about it. Should fix both to print nice actionable messages.
544 - print nice message from systemctl --failed if there are no entries shown, and hook that into ExecStartPre of rescue.service/emergency.service
545 - add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
546 - systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into does not exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
547 - systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
548 - support "systemctl stop foobar@.service" to stop all units matching a certain template
549 - Something is wrong with symlink handling of "autovt@.service" in "systemctl list-unit-files"
550 - better error message if you run systemctl without systemd running
551 - systemctl status output should should include list of triggering units and their status
554 - "systemctl mask" should find all names by which a unit is accessible
555 (i.e. by scanning for symlinks to it) and link them all to /dev/null
556 - systemctl list-unit-files should list generated files (and probably with a new state "generated" for them, or so)
559 - timer units should get the ability to trigger when:
560 o CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (TFD_TIMER_CANCEL_ON_SET)
562 - Support 2012-02~4 as syntax for specifying the fourth to last day of the month.
563 - calendarspec: support value ranges with ".." notation. Example: 2013-4..8-1
564 - 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
565 - Modulate timer frequency based on battery state
567 * add libsystemd-password or so to query passwords during boot using the password agent logic
569 * 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().
571 * fedup: add --unit to systemctl switch-root somehow
572 * fedup: do not delete initrd on switch-root
575 * clean up date formatting and parsing so that all absolute/relative timestamps we format can also be parsed
577 * on shutdown: move utmp, wall, audit logic all into PID 1 (or logind?), get rid of systemd-update-utmp-runlevel
579 * make repeated alt-ctrl-del presses printing a dump, or even force a reboot without
580 waiting for the timeout
582 * hostnamed: before returning information from /etc/machine-info.conf check the modification data and reread. Similar for localed, ...
584 * currently x-systemd.timeout is lost in the initrd, since crypttab is copied into dracut, but fstab is not
587 - refuses to boot containers without /etc/machine-id (OK?), and with empty /etc/machine-id (not OK).
590 - cryptsetup-generator: allow specification of passwords in crypttab itself
591 - move cryptsetup key caching into kernel keyctl?
592 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54982
593 - support rd.luks.allow-discards= kernel cmdline params in cryptsetup generator
595 * hw watchdog: optionally try to use the preset watchdog timeout instead of always overriding it
596 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54712
598 * after deserializing sockets in socket.c we should reapply sockopts and things
600 * make timer units go away after they elapsed
602 * move PID 1 segfaults to /var/lib/systemd/coredump?
604 * create /sbin/init symlinks from the build system
606 * allow writing multiple conditions in unit files on one line
608 * MountFlags=shared acts as MountFlags=slave right now.
610 * drop PID 1 reloading, only do reexecing (difficult: Reload()
611 currently is properly synchronous, Reexec() is weird, because we
612 cannot delay the response properly until we are back, so instead of
613 being properly synchronous we just keep open the fd and close it
614 when done. That means clients do not get a successful method reply,
615 but much rather a disconnect on success.
617 * properly handle loop back mounts via fstab, especially regards to fsck/passno
619 * initialize the hostname from the fs label of /, if /etc/hostname does not exist?
621 * rename "userspace" to "core-os"
623 * load-fragment: when loading a unit file via a chain of symlinks
624 verify that it is not masked via any of the names traversed.
626 * introduce Type=pid-file
628 * change Requires=basic.target to RequisiteOverride=basic.target
630 * when breaking cycles drop sysv services first, then services from /run, then from /etc, then from /usr
632 * automount: implement expire:
633 - set superblock timeout AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_TIMEOUT_CMD
634 - periodically run AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_EXPIRE_CMD
635 - every timeout/4 (original autofs logic)
636 - blocking, needs a thread
638 - receive expire packet on pipe if kernel tells the timeout is over
640 - answer expire packet on pipe with AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_{READY,FAIL}_CMD
641 - AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_EXPIRE_CMD returns
643 * ExecOnFailure=/usr/bin/foo
648 - add trigger --subsystem-match=usb/usb_device device
649 - reimport udev db after MOVE events for devices without dev_t
651 * 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
653 * introduce mix of BindTo and Requisite
655 * There's currently no way to cancel fsck (used to be possible via C-c or c on the console)
657 * add option to sockets to avoid activation. Instead just drop packets/connections, see http://cyberelk.net/tim/2012/02/15/portreserve-systemd-solution/
659 * default unix qlen is too small (10). bump sysctl? add sockopt?
661 * save coredump in Windows/Mozilla minidump format
663 * support crash reporting operation modes (https://live.gnome.org/GnomeOS/Design/Whiteboards/ProblemReporting)
665 * default to actual 32-bit PIDs, via /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max
667 * be able to specify a forced restart of service A where service B depends on, in case B
668 needs to be auto-respawned?
670 * when a bus name of a service disappears from the bus make sure to queue further activation requests
673 - apply "x" on "D" too (see patch from William Douglas)
675 * for services: do not set $HOME in services unless requested
677 * hide PAM options in fragment parser when compile time disabled
679 * when we automatically restart a service, ensure we restart its rdeps, too.
681 * allow Type=simple with PIDFile=
682 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=723942
684 * move PAM code into its own binary
686 * implement Register= switch in .socket units to enable registration
687 in Avahi, RPC and other socket registration services.
689 * make sure systemd-ask-password-wall does not shutdown systemd-ask-password-console too early
691 * add ReloadSignal= for configuring a reload signal to use
693 * verify that the AF_UNIX sockets of a service in the fs still exist
694 when we start a service in order to avoid confusion when a user
695 assumes starting a service is enough to make it accessible
697 * Make it possible to set the keymap independently from the font on
698 the kernel cmdline. Right now setting one resets also the other.
700 * and a dbus call to generate target from current state
702 * GC unreferenced jobs (such as .device jobs)

724 * allow port=0 in .socket units
726 * recreate systemd's D-Bus private socket file on SIGUSR2
728 * Support --test based on current system state
730 * investigate whether the gnome pty helper should be moved into systemd, to provide cgroup support.
732 * maybe introduce ExecRestartPre=
734 * dot output for --test showing the 'initial transaction'
736 * fingerprint.target, wireless.target, gps.target, netdevice.target
739 - figure out a simple way to wait for journal events in a way that
741 - add documentation to systemd.daemon
744 - plot per-process IO utilization
745 - group processes based on service association (cgroups)
746 - document initcall_debug
747 - kernel cmdline "bootchart" option for simplicity?

751 network devices where possible, so we can safely rely
753 - check MTUBytes parsing (expecting size_t but we are using unsigned)
756 - add support for more attribute types
757 - inbuilt piping support (essentially degenerate async)? see loopback-setup.c and other places
760 - add more keys to [Route] and [Address] sections
761 - add support for more DHCPv4 options (and, longer term, other kinds of dynamic config)
762 - add proper initrd support (in particular generate .network/.link files based on /proc/cmdline)

775 - export timezone information
776 - support RFC4702 (pass FQDN)
779 - add functions to set previously stored IPv6 addresses on startup and get
780 them at shutdown; store them in client->ia_na
781 - write more test cases
782 - implement and do duplicate address detection, see rfc 4862, 5.4.
783 - implement reconfigure support, see 5.3., 15.11. and 22.20.
784 - implement information request, see 1.2. and 18.1.5.
785 - implement support for temporary adressess (IA_TA)
786 - implement dhcpv6 authentication
787 - investigate the usefulness of Confirm messages; i.e. are there any
788 situations where the link changes without any loss in carrier detection
790 - some servers don't do rapid commit without a filled in IA_NA, verify
796 - natively watch for dbus-*.service symlinks (PENDING)
797 - teach dbus to activate all services it finds in /etc/systemd/services/org-*.service
799 * fix alsa mixer restore to not print error when no config is stored
801 * make cryptsetup lower --iter-time
803 * patch kernel for xattr support in /dev, /proc/, /sys?
805 * kernel: add device_type = "fb", "fbcon" to class "graphics"
807 * drop accountsservice's StandardOutput=syslog and Type=dbus fields
809 * dbus upstream still refers to dbus.target and should not
811 * dbus: in fedora, make /var/lib/dbus/machine-id a symlink to /etc/machine-id
813 * add "# export SYSTEMD_PAGER=" to bash login
815 * /usr/bin/service should actually show the new command line
817 * 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=
819 * fedora: F20: go timer units all the way, leave cron.daily for cron
821 * neither pkexec nor sudo initialize environ[] from the PAM environment?
823 * fedora: update policy to declare access mode and ownership of unit files to root:root 0644, and add an rpmlint check for it
825 * register catalog database signature as file magic
827 * zsh shell completion:
828 - <command> <verb> -<TAB> should complete options, but currently does not
829 - systemctl add-wants,add-requires
834 * look for close() vs. close_nointr() vs. close_nointr_nofail()
836 * check for strerror(r) instead of strerror(-r)
838 * Use PR_SET_PROCTITLE_AREA if it becomes available in the kernel
842 * set_put(), hashmap_put() return values check. i.e. == 0 does not free()!
844 * use secure_getenv() instead of getenv() where appropriate
846 * link up selected blog stories from man pages and unit files Documentation= fields
848 Scheduled for removal or fixing:
850 * xxxOverridable dependencies (probably: fix)
