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_extract:
12 Environment=ONE='one' "TWO='two two' too" THREE=
13 ExecStart=/bin/python3 -c 'import sys;print(sys.argv)' $ONE $TWO $THREE
15 * When systemctl --host is used, underlying ssh connection can remain open.
16 bus_close does not kill children?
20 * Fedora: add an rpmlint check that verifies that all unit files in the RPM are listed in %systemd_post macros.
22 * wiki: update journal format documentation for lz4 additions
26 * code cleanup: retire FOREACH_WORD_QUOTED, port to extract_first_word() loops instead
28 * replace manual readdir() loops with FOREACH_DIRENT or FOREACH_DIRENT_ALL
30 * Get rid of the last strerror() invocations in favour of %m and strerror_r()
32 * Rearrange tests so that the various test-xyz.c match a specific src/basic/xyz.c again
36 * ProtectKernelLogs= (drops CAP_SYSLOG, add seccomp for syslog() syscall, and DeviceAllow to /dev/kmsg) in service files
38 * ProtectClock= (drops CAP_SYS_TIMES, adds seecomp filters for settimeofday, adjtimex), sets DeviceAllow o /dev/rtc
40 * ProtectMount= (drop mount/umount/pivot_root from seccomp, disallow fuse via DeviceAllow, imply Mountflags=slave)
42 * ProtectDevices= should also take iopl/ioperm/pciaccess away
44 * ProtectKeyRing= to take keyring calls away
46 * PrivateUsers= which maps the all user ids except root and the one specified
49 * Add AllocateUser= for allowing dynamic user ids per-service
51 * Add DataDirectory=, CacheDirectory= and LogDirectory= to match
52 RuntimeDirectory=, and create it as necessary when starting a service, owned by the right user.
54 * Add BindDirectory= for allowing arbitrary, private bind mounts for services
56 * Beef up RootDirectory= to use namespacing/bind mounts as soon as fs
57 namespaces are enabled by the service
59 * Add RootImage= for mounting a disk image or file as root directory
61 * RestrictNamespaces= or so in services (taking away the ability to create namespaces, with setns, unshare, clone)
63 * nspawn: make /proc/sys/net writable?
65 * make sure the ratelimit object can deal with USEC_INFINITY as way to turn off things
67 * journalctl: make sure -f ends when the container indicated by -M terminates
69 * expose the "privileged" flag of ExecCommand on the bus, and open it up to
72 * allow attaching additional journald log fields to cgroups
74 * rework fopen_temporary() to make use of open_tmpfile_linkable() (problem: the
75 kernel doesn't support linkat() that replaces existing files, currently)
77 * check if DeviceAllow= should split first, resolve specifiers later
79 * transient units: don't bother with actually setting unit properties, we
80 reload the unit file anyway
82 * journald: sigbus API via a signal-handler safe function that people may call
83 from the SIGBUS handler
85 * when using UTF8, ellipsize with "…" rather than "...", so that we can show more contents before truncating
87 * move specifier expansion from service_spawn() into load-fragment.c
89 * optionally, also require WATCHDOG=1 notifications during service start-up and shutdown
91 * resolved: when routing queries, make sure only look for the *longest* suffix...
93 * delay activation of logind until somebody logs in, or when /dev/tty0 pulls it
94 in or lingering is on (so that containers don't bother with it until PAM is used). also exit-on-idle
96 * cache sd_event_now() result from before the first iteration...
98 * add systemctl stop --job-mode=triggering that follows TRIGGERED_BY deps and adds them to the same transaction
100 * Maybe add a way how users can "pin" units into memory, so that they are not subject to automatic GC?
102 * PID1: find a way how we can reload unit file configuration for
103 specific units only, without reloading the whole of systemd
105 * add an explicit parser for LimitRTPRIO= that verifies
106 the specified range and generates sane error messages for incorrect
109 * do something about "/control" subcgroups in the unified cgroup hierarchy
111 * when we detect that there are waiting jobs but no running jobs, do something
113 * push CPUAffinity= also into the "cpuset" cgroup controller (only after the cpuset controller got ported to the unified hierarchy)
115 * PID 1 should send out sd_notify("WATCHDOG=1") messages (for usage in the --user mode, and when run via nspawn)
117 * consider throwing a warning if a service declares it wants to be "Before=" a .device unit.
119 * there's probably something wrong with having user mounts below /sys,
120 as we have for debugfs. for exmaple, src/core/mount.c handles mounts
121 prefixed with /sys generally special.
122 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-June/032962.html
124 * man: document that unless you use StandardError=null the shell >/dev/stderr won't work in shell scripts in services
126 * fstab-generator: default to tmpfs-as-root if only usr= is specified on the kernel cmdline
128 * docs: bring http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/MyServiceCantGetRealtime up to date
130 * mounting and unmounting mount points manually with different source
131 devices will result in collected on all devices used.
132 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-April/030225.html
134 * add a job mode that will fail if a transaction would mean stopping
135 running units. Use this in timedated to manage the NTP service
137 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-April/030229.html
139 * Maybe add support for the equivalent of "ethtool advertise" to .link files?
140 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-April/030112.html
142 * The udev blkid built-in should expose a property that reflects
143 whether media was sensed in USB CF/SD card readers. This should then
144 be used to control SYSTEMD_READY=1/0 so that USB card readers aren't
145 picked up by systemd unless they contain a medium. This would mirror
146 the behaviour we already have for CD drives.
148 * networkd/udev: implement SR_IOV configuration in .link files:
149 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-January/027451.html
151 * Rework systemctl's GetAll property parsing to use the generic bus_map_all_properties() API
153 * implement a per-service firewall based on net_cls
155 * Port various tools to make use of verbs.[ch], where applicable: busctl,
156 bootctl, coredumpctl, hostnamectl, localectl, systemd-analyze, timedatectl
158 * hostnamectl: show root image uuid
160 * sysfs set api in libudev is not const
162 * Find a solution for SMACK capabilities stuff:
163 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-December/026188.html
165 * "systemctl preset-all" should probably order the unit files it
166 operates on lexicographically before starting to work, in order to
167 ensure deterministic behaviour if two unit files conflict (like DMs
170 * synchronize console access with BSD locks:
171 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-October/024582.html
173 * as soon as we have kdbus, and sender timestamps, revisit coalescing multiple parallel daemon reloads:
174 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-December/025862.html
176 * in systemctl list-unit-files: show the install value the presets would suggest for a service in a third column
178 * figure out when we can use the coarse timers
180 * add "systemctl start -v foobar.service" that shows logs of a service
181 while the start command runs. This is non-trivial to do without
182 races though, since we should flush out all journal messages before
183 returning from the "systemctl stop".
185 * 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
187 * maybe add support for specifier expansion in user.conf, specifically DefaultEnvironment=
189 * introduce systemd-timesync-wait.service or so to sync on an NTP fix?
191 * systemd --user should issue sd_notify() upon reaching basic.target, not on becoming idle
193 * consider showing the unit names during boot up in the status output, not just the unit descriptions
195 * maybe allow timer units with an empty Units= setting, so that they
196 can be used for resuming the system but nothing else.
198 * what to do about udev db binary stability for apps? (raw access is not an option)
200 * maybe provide an API to allow migration of foreign PIDs into existing scopes.
202 * man: maybe use the word "inspect" rather than "introspect"?
204 * systemctl: if some operation fails, show log output?
206 * systemctl edit: use equvalent of cat() to insert existing config as a comment, prepended with #.
207 Upon editor exit, lines with one # are removed, lines with two # are left with one #, etc.
209 * exponential backoff in timesyncd when we cannot reach a server
211 * timesyncd: add ugly bus calls to set NTP servers per-interface, for usage by NM
213 * extract_many_words() should probably be used by a lot of code that
214 currently uses FOREACH_WORD and friends. For example, most conf
215 parsing callbacks should use it.
217 * merge ~/.local/share and ~/.local/lib into one similar /usr/lib and /usr/share....
219 * systemd.show_status= should probably have a mode where only failed
222 * add systemd.abort_on_kill or some other such flag to send SIGABRT instead of SIGKILL
223 (throughout the codebase, not only PID1)
227 - service registration
228 - service/domain/types browsing
230 - DNS-SD service registration from socket units
231 - resolved should optionally register additional per-interface LLMNR
232 names, so that for the container case we can establish the same name
233 (maybe "host") for referencing the server, everywhere.
234 - allow clients to request DNSSEC for a single lookup even if DNSSEC is off (?)
235 - hook up resolved with machined-based address resolution
237 * refcounting in sd-resolve is borked
239 * Add a new verb "systemctl top"
241 * add new gpt type for btrfs volumes
243 * support empty /etc boots nicely:
244 - nspawn/gpt-generator: introduce new gpt partition type for /usr
245 - fstab-generator: support systemd.volatile=yes|no|state on the kernel cmdline, too, similar to nspawn's --volatile=
247 * generator that automatically discovers btrfs subvolumes, identifies their purpose based on some xattr on them.
249 * a way for container managers to turn off getty starting via $container_headless= or so...
251 * figure out a nice way how we can let the admin know what child/sibling unit causes cgroup membership for a specific unit
253 * mount_cgroup_controllers(): symlinks need to get the label applied
255 * For timer units: add some mechanisms so that timer units that trigger immediately on boot do not have the services
256 they run added to the initial transaction and thus confuse Type=idle.
258 * 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)
260 * add bus api to query unit file's X fields.
262 * gpt-auto-generator:
263 - Support LUKS for root devices
264 - Define new partition type for encrypted swap? Support probed LUKS for encrypted swap?
265 - Make /home automount rather than mount?
267 * add generator that pulls in systemd-network from containers when
268 CAP_NET_ADMIN is set, more than the loopback device is defined, even
269 when it is otherwise off
271 * MessageQueueMessageSize= (and suchlike) should use parse_iec_size().
273 * "busctl status" works only as root on dbus1, since we cannot read
276 * implement Distribute= in socket units to allow running multiple
277 service instances processing the listening socket, and open this up
280 * socket units: support creating sockets in different namespace,
281 opening it up for JoinsNamespaceOf=. This would require to fork off
282 a tiny process that joins the namespace and creates/binds the socket
283 and passes this back to PID1 via SCM_RIGHTS. This also could be used
284 to allow Chown/chgrp on sockets without requiring NSS in PID 1.
286 * New service property: maximum CPU runtime for a service
288 * introduce bus call FreezeUnit(s, b), as well as "systemctl freeze
289 $UNIT" and "systemctl thaw $UNIT" as wrappers around this. The calls
290 should SIGSTOP all unit processes in a loop until all processes of
291 it are fully stopped. This can later be used for app management by
292 desktop UIs such as gnome-shell to freeze apps that are not visible
293 on screen, not unlike how job control works on the shell
296 - implement per-slice CPUFairScheduling=1 switch
297 - handle jointly mounted controllers correctly
298 - introduce high-level settings for RT budget, swappiness
299 - how to reset dynamically changed unit cgroup attributes sanely?
300 - when reloading configuration, apply new cgroup configuration
301 - when recursively showing the cgroup hierarchy, optionally also show
302 the hierarchies of child processes
305 - add field to transient units that indicate whether systemd or somebody else saves/restores its settings, for integration with libvirt
306 - ensure scope units may be started only a single time
308 * Automatically configure swap partition to use for hibernation by looking for largest swap partition on the root disk?
310 * when we detect low battery and no AC on boot, show pretty splash and refuse boot
312 * libsystemd-journal, libsystemd-login, libudev: add calls to easily attach these objects to sd-event event loops
314 * be more careful what we export on the bus as (usec_t) 0 and (usec_t) -1
316 * 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
318 * After coming back from hibernation reset hibernation swap partition using the /dev/snapshot ioctl APIs
320 * If we try to find a unit via a dangling symlink, generate a clean
321 error. Currently, we just ignore it and read the unit from the search
324 * refuse boot if /etc/os-release is missing or /etc/machine-id cannot be set up
326 * btrfs raid assembly: some .device jobs stay stuck in the queue
328 * make sure gdm does not use multi-user-x but the new default X configuration file, and then remove multi-user-x from systemd
330 * man: the documentation of Restart= currently is very misleading and suggests the tools from ExecStartPre= might get restarted.
332 * load .d/*.conf dropins for device units
334 * allow implementation of InaccessibleDirectories=/ plus
335 ReadOnlyDirectories=... for whitelisting files for a service.
339 - GetAllProperties() on a non-existing object does not result in a failure currently
340 - kdbus: process fd=-1 for incoming msgs
341 - port to sd-resolve for connecting to TCP dbus servers
342 - kdbus: maybe add controlling tty metadata fields
343 - 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
344 - when kdbus does not take our message without memfds, try again with memfds
345 - see if we can drop more message validation on the sending side
346 - add API to clone sd_bus_message objects
347 - make AddMatch calls on dbus1 transports async?
348 - kdbus: matches against source or destination pids for an "strace -p"-like feel. Problem: The PID info needs to be available in userspace too...
349 - longer term: priority inheritance
352 - NameLost/NameAcquired obsolete
355 - update systemd.special(7) to mention that dbus.socket is only about the compatibility socket now
356 - test bloom filter generation indexes
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
363 - define more intervals where we will shift wakeup intervals around in, 1h, 6h, 24h, ...
364 - generate a failure of a default event loop is executed out-of-thread
365 - maybe add support for inotify events
367 * investigate endianness issues of UUID vs. GUID
369 * dbus: when a unit failed to load (i.e. is in UNIT_ERROR state), we
370 should be able to safely try another attempt when the bus call LoadUnit() is invoked.
372 * add a pam module that passes the hdd passphrase into the PAM stack and then expires it, for usage by gdm auto-login.
374 * add a pam module that on password changes updates any LUKS slot where the password matches
376 * maybe add a generator that looks for "systemd.run=" on the kernel cmdline for container usercases...
378 * cgtop: make cgtop useful in a container
381 - add 'set -e' to scripts in test/
382 - make stuff in test/ work with separate output dir
384 * seems that when we follow symlinks to units we prefer the symlink
385 destination path over /etc and /usr. We should not do that. Instead
386 /etc should always override /run+/usr and also any symlink
389 * when isolating, try to figure out a way how we implicitly can order
390 all units we stop before the isolating unit...
392 * teach ConditionKernelCommandLine= globs or regexes (in order to match foobar={no,0,off})
394 * BootLoaderSpec: Clarify that the kernel has to be in $BOOT. Clarify
395 that the boot loader should be installed to the ESP. Define a way
396 how an installer can figure out whether a BLS compliant boot loader
399 * think about requeuing jobs when daemon-reload is issued? usecase:
400 the initrd issues a reload after fstab from the host is accessible
401 and we might want to requeue the mounts local-fs acquired through
404 * systemd-inhibit: make taking delay locks useful: support sending SIGINT or SIGTERM on PrepareForSleep()
406 * remove any syslog support from log.c — we probably cannot do this before split-off udev is gone for good
408 * shutdown logging: store to EFI var, and store to USB stick?
410 * think about window-manager-run-as-user-service problem: exit 0 → activate shutdown.target; exit != 0 → restart service
412 * merge unit_kill_common() and unit_kill_context()
414 * introduce ExecCondition= in services
417 - honor language efi variables for default language selection (if there are any?)
418 - honor timezone efi variables for default timezone selection (if there are any?)
419 - change bootctl to be backed by systemd-bootd to control temporary and persistent default boot goal plus efi variables
421 * maybe do not install getty@tty1.service symlink in /etc but in /usr?
423 * print a nicer explanation if people use variable/specifier expansion in ExecStart= for the first word
425 * mount: turn dependency information from /proc/self/mountinfo into dependency information between systemd units.
428 - logind: optionally, ignore idle-hint logic for autosuspend, block suspend as long as a session is around
429 - When we update the kernel all kind of hibernation should be prohibited until shutdown/reboot
430 - logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
431 - Add pretty name for seats in logind
432 - logind: allow showing logout dialog from system?
433 - we should probably handle SIGTERM/SIGINT to not leave dot files around, just in case
434 - session scopes/user unit: add RequiresMountsFor for the home directory of the user
435 - add Suspend() bus calls which take timestamps to fix double suspend issues when somebody hits suspend and closes laptop quickly.
436 - if pam_systemd is invoked by su from a process that is outside of a
437 any session we should probably just become a NOP, since that's
438 usually not a real user session but just some system code that just
440 - logind: make the Suspend()/Hibernate() bus calls wait for the for
441 the job to be completed. before returning, so that clients can wait
442 for "systemctl suspend" to finish to know when the suspending is
444 - logind: when the power button is pressed short, just popup a
445 logout dialog. If it is pressed for 1s, do the usual
446 shutdown. Inspiration are Macs here.
447 - expose "Locked" property on logind sesison objects
448 - given that logind now lets PID 1 do all nasty work, we can
449 probably reduce the capability set it retains substantially.
450 (we need CAP_SYS_ADMIN for drmSetMaster(), so maybe not worth it)
451 - expose orientation sensors and tablet mode through logind
452 - maybe allow configuration of the StopTimeout for session scopes
453 - rename session scope so that it includes the UID. THat way
454 the session scope can be arranged freely in slices and we don't have
455 make assumptions about their slice anymore.
456 - follow PropertiesChanged state more closely, to deal with quick logouts and
459 * exec: when deinitializating a tty device fix the perms and group, too, not only when initializing. Set access mode/gid to 0620/tty.
461 * service: watchdog logic: for testing purposes allow ping, but do not require pong
464 - consider introducing implicit _TTY= + _PPID= + _EUID= + _EGID= + _FSUID= + _FSGID= fields
465 - import and delete pstore filesystem content at startup
466 - journald: also get thread ID from client, plus thread name
467 - journal: when waiting for journal additions in the client always sleep at least 1s or so, in order to minimize wakeups
468 - add API to close/reopen/get fd for journal client fd in libsystemd-journal.
469 - fallback to /dev/log based logging in libsystemd-journal, if we cannot log natively?
470 - declare the local journal protocol stable in the wiki interface chart
471 - sd-journal: speed up sd_journal_get_data() with transparent hash table in bg
472 - journald: when dropping msgs due to ratelimit make sure to write
473 "dropped %u messages" not only when we are about to print the next
474 message that works, but alraedy after a short tiemout
475 - check if we can make journalctl by default use --follow mode inside of less if called without args?
476 - maybe add API to send pairs of iovecs via sd_journal_send
477 - journal: when writing journal auto-rotate if time jumps backwards
478 - journal: add a setgid "systemd-journal" utility to invoke from libsystemd-journal, which passes fds via STDOUT and does PK access
479 - journactl: support negative filtering, i.e. FOOBAR!="waldo",
480 and !FOOBAR for events without FOOBAR.
481 - journal: store timestamp of journal_file_set_offline() int he header,
482 so it is possible to display when the file was last synced.
483 - 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.
484 - journal: find a way to allow dropping history early, based on priority, other rules
485 - journal: When used on NFS, check payload hashes
486 - journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
487 - refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
488 - journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
489 - journal: deal nicely with byte-by-byte copied files, especially regards header
490 - journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the components would fit
491 - Replace utmp, wtmp, btmp, and lastlog completely with journal
492 - journalctl: instead --after-cursor= maybe have a --cursor=XYZ+1 syntax?
493 - when a kernel driver logs in a tight loop, we should ratelimit that too.
494 - journald: optionally, log debug messages to /run but everything else to /var
495 - journald: when we drop syslog messages because the syslog socket is
496 full, make sure to write how many messages are lost as first thing
497 to syslog when it works again.
498 - journald: make sure ratelimit is actually really per-service with the new cgroup changes
499 - change systemd-journal-flush into a service that stays around during
500 boot, and causes the journal to be moved back to /run on shutdown,
501 so that we do not keep /var busy. This needs to happen synchronously,
502 hence doing this via signals is not going to work.
503 - optionally support running journald from the command line for testing purposes in external projects
504 - journald: allow per-priority and per-service retention times when rotating/vacuuming
505 - journald: make use of uid-range.h to managed uid ranges to split
507 - journalctl: add the ability to look for the most recent process of a binary. journalctl /usr/bin/X11 --pid=-1 or so...
508 - improve journalctl performance by loading journal files
509 lazily. Encode just enough information in the file name, so that we
510 do not have to open it to know that it is not interesting for us, for
511 the most common operations.
512 - journal-or-kmsg is currently broken? See reverted
513 commit 4a01181e460686d8b4a543b1dfa7f77c9e3c5ab8.
514 - man: document that corrupted journal files is nothing to act on
515 - rework journald sigbus stuff to use mutex
516 - Set RLIMIT_NPROC for systemd-journal-xyz, and all other of our
517 services that run under their own user ids, and use User= (but only
518 in a world where userns is ubiquitous since otherwise we cannot
519 invoke those daemons on the host AND in a container anymore). Also,
520 if LimitNPROC= is used without User= we should warn and refuse
522 - journalctl --verify: don't show files that are currently being
523 written to as FAIL, but instead show that their are being written to.
524 - add journalctl -H that talks via ssh to a remote peer and passes through
526 - add a version of --merge which also merges /var/log/journal/remote
527 - log accumulated resource usage after each service invocation
528 - journalctl: -m should access container journals directly by enumerating
529 them via machined, and also watch containers coming and going.
530 Benefit: nspawn --ephemeral would start working nicely with the journal.
531 - assign MESSAGE_ID to log messages about failed services
534 - document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fields in
535 [Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
536 - man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
537 - document the exit codes when services fail before they are exec()ed
538 - document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
539 - document in wiki how to map ical recurrence events to systemd timer unit calendar specifications
540 - add a man page containing packaging guidelines and recommending usage of things like Documentation=, PrivateTmp=, PrivateNetwork= and ReadOnlyDirectories=/etc /usr.
541 - document systemd-journal-flush.service properly
542 - documentation: recommend to connect the timer units of a service to the service via Also= in [Install]
543 - man: document the very specific env the shutdown drop-in tools live in
544 - man: add more examples to man pages
545 - man: maybe sort directives in man pages, and take sections from --help and apply them to man too
548 - systemctl list-jobs - show dependencies
549 - add systemctl switch to dump transaction without executing it
550 - Add a verbose mode to "systemctl start" and friends that explains what is being done or not done
551 - "systemctl disable" on a static unit prints no message and does
552 nothing. "systemctl enable" does nothing, and gives a bad message
553 about it. Should fix both to print nice actionable messages.
554 - print nice message from systemctl --failed if there are no entries shown, and hook that into ExecStartPre of rescue.service/emergency.service
555 - add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
556 - systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into does not exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
557 - systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
558 - better error message if you run systemctl without systemd running
559 - systemctl status output should include list of triggering units and their status
562 - "systemctl mask" should find all names by which a unit is accessible
563 (i.e. by scanning for symlinks to it) and link them all to /dev/null
566 - timer units should get the ability to trigger when:
567 o CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (TFD_TIMER_CANCEL_ON_SET)
569 - Support 2012-02~4 as syntax for specifying the fourth to last day of the month.
570 - Modulate timer frequency based on battery state
572 * add libsystemd-password or so to query passwords during boot using the password agent logic
574 * clean up date formatting and parsing so that all absolute/relative timestamps we format can also be parsed
576 * on shutdown: move utmp, wall, audit logic all into PID 1 (or logind?), get rid of systemd-update-utmp-runlevel
578 * make repeated alt-ctrl-del presses printing a dump, or even force a reboot without
579 waiting for the timeout
581 * hostnamed: before returning information from /etc/machine-info.conf check the modification data and reread. Similar for localed, ...
583 * currently x-systemd.timeout is lost in the initrd, since crypttab is copied into dracut, but fstab is not
586 - to allow "linking" of nspawn containers, extend --network-bridge= so
587 that it can dynamically create bridge interfaces that are refcounted
588 by the containers on them. For each group of containers to link together
589 - nspawn -x should support ephemeral instances of gpt images
590 - emulate /dev/kmsg using CUSE and turn off the syslog syscall
591 with seccomp. That should provide us with a useful log buffer that
592 systemd can log to during early boot, and disconnect container logs
593 from the kernel's logs.
594 - as soon as networkd has a bus interface, hook up --network-interface=,
595 --network-bridge= with networkd, to trigger netdev creation should an
597 - don't copy /etc/resolv.conf from host into container unless we are in
599 - a nice way to boot up without machine id set, so that it is set at boot
600 automatically for supporting --ephemeral. Maybe hash the host machine id
601 together with the machine name to generate the machine id for the container
602 - fix logic always print a final newline on output.
603 https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/272#issuecomment-113153176
604 - should optionally support receiving WATCHDOG=1 messages from its payload
606 - should send out sd_notify("WATCHDOG=1") messages
607 - optionally automatically add FORWARD rules to iptables whenever nspawn is
608 running, remove them when shut down.
609 - Improve error message when --bind= is used on a non-existing source
611 - maybe make copying of /etc/resolv.conf optional, and skip it if --read-only
615 - "machinectl list" should probably show columns for OS version and IP
617 - add an API so that libvirt-lxc can inform us about network interfaces being
618 removed or added to an existing machine
619 - "machinectl migrate" or similar to copy a container from or to a
620 difference host, via ssh
621 - introduce systemd-nspawn-ephemeral@.service, and hook it into
622 "machinectl start" with a new --ephemeral switch
623 - "machinectl status" should also show internal logs of the container in
625 - "machinectl list-images" should show os-release data, as well as
626 machine-info data (including deployment level)
627 - "machinectl history"
629 - "machinectl commit" that takes a writable snapshot of a tree, invokes a
630 shell in it, and marks it read-only after use
633 - generate a nice warning if mkfs.btrfs is missing
636 - cryptsetup-generator: allow specification of passwords in crypttab itself
637 - move cryptsetup key caching into kernel keyctl?
638 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54982
639 - support rd.luks.allow-discards= kernel cmdline params in cryptsetup generator
641 * hw watchdog: optionally try to use the preset watchdog timeout instead of always overriding it
642 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54712
644 * create /sbin/init symlinks from the build system
646 * MountFlags=shared acts as MountFlags=slave right now.
648 * properly handle loop back mounts via fstab, especially regards to fsck/passno
650 * initialize the hostname from the fs label of /, if /etc/hostname does not exist?
655 - add trigger --subsystem-match=usb/usb_device device
656 - reimport udev db after MOVE events for devices without dev_t
658 * 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
660 * There's currently no way to cancel fsck (used to be possible via C-c or c on the console)
662 * add option to sockets to avoid activation. Instead just drop packets/connections, see http://cyberelk.net/tim/2012/02/15/portreserve-systemd-solution/
665 - save coredump in Windows/Mozilla minidump format
666 - move PID 1 segfaults to /var/lib/systemd/coredump?
668 * support crash reporting operation modes (https://live.gnome.org/GnomeOS/Design/Whiteboards/ProblemReporting)
670 * default to actual 32-bit PIDs, via /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max
672 * be able to specify a forced restart of service A where service B depends on, in case B
673 needs to be auto-respawned?
676 - apply "x" on "D" too (see patch from William Douglas)
678 - instead of ignoring unknown fields, reject them.
679 - creating new directories/subvolumes/fifos/device nodes
680 should not follow symlinks. None of the other adjustment or creation
681 calls follow symlinks.
683 * make sure systemd-ask-password-wall does not shutdown systemd-ask-password-console too early
685 * verify that the AF_UNIX sockets of a service in the fs still exist
686 when we start a service in order to avoid confusion when a user
687 assumes starting a service is enough to make it accessible
689 * Make it possible to set the keymap independently from the font on
690 the kernel cmdline. Right now setting one resets also the other.
692 * and a dbus call to generate target from current state
694 * write blog stories about:
695 - hwdb: what belongs into it, lsusb
696 - enabling dbus services
698 - how to make changes to sysctl and sysfs attributes
700 - how to pass throw-away units to systemd, or dynamically change properties of existing units
701 - testing with Harald's awesome test kit
703 - how to develop against journal browsing APIs
704 - the journal HTTP iface
705 - non-cgroup resource management
706 - dynamic resource management with cgroups
707 - refreshed, longer missions statement
708 - calendar time events
709 - init=/bin/sh vs. "emergency" mode, vs. "rescue" mode, vs. "multi-user" mode, vs. "graphical" mode, and the debug shell
710 - how to create your own target
711 - instantiated apache, dovecot and so on
712 - hooking a script into various stages of shutdown/rearly booot
714 * investigate whether the gnome pty helper should be moved into systemd, to provide cgroup support.
716 * dot output for --test showing the 'initial transaction'
718 * fingerprint.target, wireless.target, gps.target, netdevice.target
721 - .timer units should optionally support CLOCK_BOOTTIME in addition to CLOCK_MONOTONIC
722 - When logging about multiple units (stopping BoundTo units, conflicts, etc.),
723 log both units as UNIT=, so that journalctl -u triggers on both.
724 - generate better errors when people try to set transient properties
725 that are not supported...
726 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-February/028076.html
727 - maybe introduce WantsMountsFor=? Usecase:
728 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-January/027729.html
729 - recreate systemd's D-Bus private socket file on SIGUSR2
730 - GC unreferenced jobs (such as .device jobs)
731 - move PAM code into its own binary
732 - when we automatically restart a service, ensure we restart its rdeps, too.
733 - for services: do not set $HOME in services unless requested
734 - hide PAM options in fragment parser when compile time disabled
735 - Support --test based on current system state
736 - 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().
737 - after deserializing sockets in socket.c we should reapply sockopts and things
738 - drop PID 1 reloading, only do reexecing (difficult: Reload()
739 currently is properly synchronous, Reexec() is weird, because we
740 cannot delay the response properly until we are back, so instead of
741 being properly synchronous we just keep open the fd and close it
742 when done. That means clients do not get a successful method reply,
743 but much rather a disconnect on success.
744 - when breaking cycles drop sysv services first, then services from /run, then from /etc, then from /usr
745 - when a bus name of a service disappears from the bus make sure to queue further activation requests
748 - allow port=0 in .socket units
749 - maybe introduce ExecRestartPre=
750 - add ReloadSignal= for configuring a reload signal to use
751 - implement Register= switch in .socket units to enable registration
752 in Avahi, RPC and other socket registration services.
753 - allow Type=simple with PIDFile=
754 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=723942
755 - allow writing multiple conditions in unit files on one line
756 - load-fragment: when loading a unit file via a chain of symlinks
757 verify that it is not masked via any of the names traversed.
758 - introduce Type=pid-file
759 - ExecOnFailure=/usr/bin/foo
760 - introduce mix of BindTo and Requisite
761 - add a concept of RemainAfterExit= to scope units
762 - Set NoNewPrivileges= on all of our own services, where that makes sense
763 - Allow multiple ExecStart= for all Type= settings, so that we can cover rescue.service nicely
764 - consider adding RuntimeDirectoryUser= + RuntimeDirectoryGroup=
767 - Make sure ID_PATH is always exported and complete for
768 network devices where possible, so we can safely rely
770 - check MTUBytes parsing (expecting size_t but we are using unsigned)
773 - add support for more attribute types
774 - inbuilt piping support (essentially degenerate async)? see loopback-setup.c and other places
777 - add more keys to [Route] and [Address] sections
778 - add support for more DHCPv4 options (and, longer term, other kinds of dynamic config)
779 - add proper initrd support (in particular generate .network/.link files based on /proc/cmdline)
780 - add reduced [Link] support to .network files
781 - add Scope= parsing option for [Network]
782 - properly handle routerless dhcp leases
783 - add more attribute support for SIT tunnel
784 - work with non-Ethernet devices
785 - add support for more bond options
786 - dhcp: do we allow configuring dhcp routes on interfaces that are not the one we got the dhcp info from?
787 - the DHCP lease data (such as NTP/DNS) is still made available when
788 a carrier is lost on a link. It should be removed instantly.
789 - expose in the API the following bits:
790 - option 15, domain name and/or option 119, search list
791 - option 12, host name and/or option 81, fqdn
792 - option 123, 144, geolocation
793 - option 252, configure http proxy (PAC/wpad)
794 - provide a way to define a per-network interface default metric value
795 for all routes to it. possibly a second default for DHCP routes.
796 - allow Name= to be specified repeatedly in the [Match] section. Maybe also
797 support Name=foo*|bar*|baz ?
798 - duplicate address check for static IPs (like ARPCHECK in network-scripts)
799 - allow DUID/IAID to be customized, see issue #394.
800 - support configuration option for TSO (tcp segmentation offload)
801 - whenever uplink info changes, make DHCP server send out FORCERENEW
803 * networkd-wait-online:
804 - make operstates to wait for configurable?
807 - figure out how much we can increase Maximum Message Size
808 - support RFC4702 (pass FQDN)
811 - add functions to set previously stored IPv6 addresses on startup and get
812 them at shutdown; store them in client->ia_na
813 - write more test cases
814 - implement reconfigure support, see 5.3., 15.11. and 22.20.
815 - implement support for temporary adressess (IA_TA)
816 - implement dhcpv6 authentication
817 - investigate the usefulness of Confirm messages; i.e. are there any
818 situations where the link changes without any loss in carrier detection
820 - some servers don't do rapid commit without a filled in IA_NA, verify
826 - natively watch for dbus-*.service symlinks (PENDING)
827 - teach dbus to activate all services it finds in /etc/systemd/services/org-*.service
829 * fix alsa mixer restore to not print error when no config is stored
831 * make cryptsetup lower --iter-time
833 * patch kernel for xattr support in /dev, /proc/, /sys?
835 * kernel: add device_type = "fb", "fbcon" to class "graphics"
837 * drop accountsservice's StandardOutput=syslog and Type=dbus fields
839 * dbus: in fedora, make /var/lib/dbus/machine-id a symlink to /etc/machine-id
841 * /usr/bin/service should actually show the new command line
843 * 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=
845 * fedora: F20: go timer units all the way, leave cron.daily for cron
847 * neither pkexec nor sudo initialize environ[] from the PAM environment?
849 * fedora: update policy to declare access mode and ownership of unit files to root:root 0644, and add an rpmlint check for it
851 * register catalog database signature as file magic
853 * zsh shell completion:
854 - <command> <verb> -<TAB> should complete options, but currently does not
855 - systemctl add-wants,add-requires
860 * look for close() vs. close_nointr() vs. close_nointr_nofail()
862 * check for strerror(r) instead of strerror(-r)
864 * Use PR_SET_PROCTITLE_AREA if it becomes available in the kernel
868 * set_put(), hashmap_put() return values check. i.e. == 0 does not free()!
870 * use secure_getenv() instead of getenv() where appropriate
872 * link up selected blog stories from man pages and unit files Documentation= fields
