2 * the running hwdb seems not to pick up updated database files without
3 an explicit: udevadm control --reload
5 * enabling an instance unit creates pointless link, and
6 the unit will be started with getty@getty.service:
7 $ systemctl enable getty@.service
8 ln -s '/usr/lib/systemd/system/getty@.service' '/etc/systemd/system/getty.target.wants/getty@.service'
10 * check systemd-tmpfiles for selinux context hookup for mknod(), symlink() and similar
12 * swap units that are activated by one name but shown in the kernel under another are semi-broken
14 * Dangling symlinks of .automount unit files in .wants/ directories, set up
15 automount points even when the original .automount file did not exist
16 anymore. Only the .mount unit was still around.
18 * make polkit checks async
20 * properly handle .mount unit state tracking when two mount points are stacked one on top of another on the exact same mount point.
22 * ellipsize_mem must take into account multi-byte unicode characters, and
23 - make the resulting line the requested number of *characters*, not *bytes*,
24 - avoid truncuating multi-byte sequences in the middle.
28 * external: ps should gain colums for slice and machine
31 - localectl: support new converted x11→console keymaps
33 * when installing fedora with yum --installroot /var/run is a directory, not a symlink
34 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=975864
36 CGroup Rework Completion:
38 * introduce "mainpid" for scopes (or maybe not?)
40 * implement system-wide DefaultCPUAccounting=1 switch (and similar for blockio, memory?)
42 * implement per-slice CPUFairScheduling=1 switch
44 * handle jointly mounted controllers correctly
46 * make BlockIODeviceWeight=, BlockIODeviceBandwidth= runtime settable
48 * introduce high-level settings for RT budget, swappiness
50 * wiki: document new bus APIs of PID 1 (transient units, Reloading signal)
54 * better error message if you run systemctl without systemd running
56 * rename F_TYPE_CMP() to F_TYPE_EQUAL()
58 * unlink PID files of units after exit
60 * tiny tool that saves/restores backlight
62 * systemctl status output should should include list of triggering units and their status
64 * for transient units, instead of writing out drop-ins for all properties consider serializing them in the normal serialization stream
66 * logind: when logging out, remove user-owned sysv and posix IPC objects
68 * session scopes/user unit: add RequiresMountsFor for the home directory of the user
70 * add a man page containing packaging guidelines and recommending usage of things like Documentation=, PrivateTmp=, PrivateNetwork= and ReadOnlyDirectories=/etc /usr.
72 * journalctl: instead --after-cursor= maybe have a --cursor=XYZ+1 syntax?
74 * given that logind/machined now let PID 1 do all nasty work we can
75 probably reduce the capability set they retain substantially.
77 * btrfs raid assembly: some .device jobs stay stuck in the queue
79 * Fedora: add an rpmlint check that verifies that all unit files in the RPM are listed in %systemd_post macros.
81 * Fedora: post FPC ticket to move add %tmpfiles_create to the packaging guidelines
83 * make sure gdm doesn't use multi-user-x but the new default X configuration file, and then remove multi-user-x from systemd
85 * 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
87 * when a kernel driver logs in a tight loop we should ratelimit that too.
89 * "systemctl disable" of a unit instance removes all symlinks, should
90 only remove the instance symlink (systemctl disable of a template
91 unit however should remove them all).
93 * journald: optionally, log debug messages to /run but everything else to /var
95 * systemctl list-unit-files should list generated files (and probably with a new state "generated" for them, or so)
97 * do we really need both hasprefix() and startswith()?
99 * journald: when we drop syslog messages because the syslog socket is
100 full, make sure to write how many messages are lost as first thing
101 to syslog when it works again.
103 * man: the documentation of Restart= currently is very misleading and suggests the tools from ExecStartPre= might get restarted.
105 * load .d/*.conf dropins for device units
107 * add a fixed dbus path for "my own unit", "my own session", ... to PID1, logind, ...
109 * service_coldplug() appears to reinstall the wrong stop timeout watch?
111 * transient units: allow creating auxiliary units with the same call
113 * how to reset dynamically changed attributes sanely?
115 * when reloading configuration, apply new cgroup configuration
117 * journald: make sure ratelimit is actually really per-service with the new cgroup changes
119 * libsystemd-logind: sd_session_is_active() and friends: verify
120 validity of session name before appending it to a path
122 * gparted needs to disable auto-activation of mount units somehow, or
123 maybe we should stop doing auto-activation of this after boot
124 entirely. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=701676
125 Maybe take a BSD lock at the disk device node and teach udev to
126 check for that and suppress event handling.
128 * when a service changes state make reflect that in the
129 RUNNING/LISTENING states of its socket
131 * when recursively showing the cgroup hierarchy, optionally also show
132 the hierarchies of child processes
134 * document logic of auto/noauto and fail/nofail in fstab in systemd.mount or systemd-fstab-generator man page
136 * we should properly escape ssh hostnames we add into dbus server strings
138 * something pulls in pcre as so dep into our daemons such as hostnamed.
140 * document systemd-journal-flush.service properly
142 * change systemd-journal-flush into a service that stays around during
143 boot, and causes the journal to be moved back to /run on shutdown,
144 so that we don't keep /var busy. This needs to happen synchronously,
145 hence doing this via signals is not going to work.
147 * allow implementation of InaccessibleDirectories=/ plus
148 ReadOnlyDirectories=... for whitelisting files for a service.
151 - default policy (allow uid == 0 and our own uid)
152 - enforce alignment of pointers passed in
153 - when kdbus doesn't take our message without memfds, try again with memfds
154 - implement translator service
155 - port systemd to new library
156 - implement busname unit type in systemd
158 - merge busctl into systemctl or so?
159 - synthesize sd_bus_message objects from kernel messages
160 - properly implement name registry ioctls for kdbus
161 - get rid of object hash table, use decision tree everyhwere instead?
162 - implement monitor logic
163 - object vtable logic
166 * priority inheritance
168 * in the final killing spree, detect processes from the root directory, and
169 complain loudly if they have argv[0][0] == '@' set.
170 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=961044
172 * add an option to nspawn that uses seccomp to make socket(AF_NETLINK,
173 SOCK_RAW, NETLINK_AUDIT) fail the the appropriate error code that
174 makes the audit userspace to think auditing is not available in the
177 * Introduce a way how we can kill the main process of a service with KillSignal, but all processes with SIGKILL later on
178 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=952634
180 * maybe add a warning to the unit file parses where the access mode of unit files is nonsensical.
182 * investigate endianness issues of UUID vs. GUID
184 * dbus: when a unit failed to load (i.e. is in UNIT_ERROR state), we
185 should be able to safely try another attempt when the bus call LoadUnit() is invoked.
187 * if pam_systemd is invoked by su from a process that is outside of a
188 any session we should probably just become a NOP, since that's
189 usually not a real user session but just some system code that just
192 * add a pam module that passes the hdd passphrase into the PAM stack and then expires it, for usage by gdm auto-login.
194 * add a pam module that on password changes updates any LUKS slot where the password matches
196 * maybe add a generator that looks for "systemd.run=" on the kernel cmdline for container usercases...
198 * timedatctl, localectl: possibly make some commands work without the daemon, for chroot situations...
200 * logind: add Suspend() bus calls which take timestamps to fix double suspend issues when somebody hits suspend and closes laptop quickly.
202 * we need dynamic units
204 * cgtop: make cgtop useful in a container
207 - add 'set -e' to scripts in test/
208 - make stuff in test/ work with separate output dir
209 - remove all the duplicated code in test/
211 * systemctl delete x.snapshot leaves no trace in logs (at least at default level).
213 * make the coredump collector tool move itself into the user's cgroup
214 so that the coredump is properly written to the user's own journal
217 * seems that when we follow symlinks to units we prefer the symlink
218 destination path over /etc and /usr. We shouldn't do that. Instead
219 /etc should always override /run+/usr and also any symlink
222 * remove duplicate default deps logic from fstab-generator vs. mount.c
224 * when isolating, try to figure out a way how we implicitly can order
225 all units we stop before the isolating unit...
227 * add ConditionArchitecture= or so
229 * teach ConditionKernelCommandLine= globs or regexes (in order to match foobar={no,0,off})
231 * Support SO_REUSEPORT with socket activation:
232 - Let systemd maintain a pool of servers.
233 - Use for seamless upgrades, by running the new server before stopping the
236 * after all byte-wise realloc() is slow, even on glibc, so i guess we
237 need manual exponential loops after all
239 * BootLoaderSpec: drop allowing ext234 for $BOOT. Clarify that the
240 kernel has to be in $BOOT. Clarify that the boot loader should be
241 installed to the ESP. Define a way how an installer can figure out
242 whether a BLS compliant boot loader is installed.
244 * man: remove .include documentation, and instead push people to use .d/*.conf
246 * think about requeuing jobs when daemon-reload is issued? usecase:
247 the initrd issues a reload after fstab from the host is accessible
248 and we might want to requeue the mounts local-fs acquired through
251 * rework specifier logic so that we can distinguish OOM errors from other errors
253 * systemd-inhibit: make taking delay locks useful: support sending SIGINT or SIGTERM on PrepareForSleep()
255 * journal-or-kmsg is currently broken? See reverted commit 4a01181e460686d8b4a543b1dfa7f77c9e3c5ab8.
257 * remove any syslog support from log.c -- we probably can't do this before split-off udev is gone for good
259 * documentation: recommend to connect the timer units of a service to the service via Also= in [Install]
261 * add a tool that lists active timer units plus their next elapse and the time the units ran last
263 * man: document the very specific env the shutdown drop-in tools live in
265 * shutdown logging: store to EFI var, and store to USB stick?
267 * man: extend runlevel(8) to mention that runlevels suck, and are dead. Maybe add runlevel(7) with a note about that too
269 * systemctl: maybe add "systemctl add-wants" or so...
271 * man: add more examples to man pages
273 * man: maybe sort directives in man pages, and take sections from --help and apply them to man too
275 * write UI tool that pops up emergency messages from the journal as notification
277 * think about window-manager-run-as-user-service problem: exit 0 → activate shutdown.target; exit != 0 → restart service
279 * msgcatalog determine default language of entries from the catalog
280 file name. i.e. foobar.de_DE.catalog would set the default entry
281 name for the entries to de_DE if they aren't explicitly suffixed
284 * use "log level" rather than "log priority" everywhere
286 * timedate: have global on/off switches for auto-time (NTP), and auto-timezone that connman can subscribe to.
288 * Honour "-" prefix for InaccessibleDirectories= and ReadOnlyDirectories= to
289 suppress errors of the specified path doesn't exist
291 * dev-setup.c: when running in a container, create a tiny stub udev
292 database with the systemd tag set for all network interfaces found,
293 so that libudev reports them as present, and systemd's .device units
296 * merge unit_kill_common() and unit_kill_context()
298 * introduce ExecCondition= in services
301 - fsck hookup for the ESP mount is missing
302 - write man page for efi boot generator
303 - honor language efi variables for default language selection (if there are any?)
304 - honor timezone efi variables for default timezone selection (if there are any?)
305 - change bootctl to be backed by systemd-bootd to control temporary and persistent default boot goal plus efi variables
307 * maybe do not install getty@tty1.service symlink in /etc but in /usr?
309 * re-enable "make check" for gtk-doc (broken for unknown reason)
311 * fstab: add new mount option x-systemd-after=/foobar/waldo to allow manual dependencies to other mount points
312 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=812826
314 * print a nicer explanation if people use variable/specifier expansion in ExecStart= for the first word
316 * mount: turn dependency information from /proc/self/mountinfo into dependency information between systemd units.
319 - logind: optionally, ignore idle-hint logic for autosuspend, block suspend as long as a session is around
320 - When we update the kernel all kind of hibernation should be prohibited until shutdown/reboot
321 - logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
322 - Add pretty name for seats in logind
323 - logind: allow showing logout dialog from system?
324 - logind: spawn user@..service on login
325 - logind: non-local X11 server handling
326 - logind: add equivalent to sd_pid_get_owner_uid() to the D-Bus API
327 - pam: when leaving a session explicitly exclude the ReleaseSession() caller process from the killing spree
328 - logind: GetSessionByPID() should accept 0 as PID value
329 - we should probably handle SIGTERM/SIGINT to not leave dot files around, just in case
331 * exec: when deinitializating a tty device fix the perms and group, too, not only when initializing. Set access mode/gid to 0620/tty.
333 * DeviceAllow/DeviceDeny: disallow everything by default, but whitelist /dev/zero, /dev/null and friends
335 * service: watchdog logic: for testing purposes allow ping, but do not require pong
338 - do not use magic msync() in src/journal/journal-file.c, just call fsync()
339 <alxchk> poettering: looks like msync just calls vfs_fsync
340 http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/mm/msync.c#n18
341 - import and delete pstore filesystem content at startup
342 - journald: also get thread ID from client, plus thread name
343 - journal: when waiting for journal additions in the client always sleep at least 1s or so, in order to minimize wakeups
344 - add API to close/reopen/get fd for journal client fd in libsystemd-journal.
345 - fallback to /dev/log based logging in libsystemd-journal, if we can't log natively?
346 - declare the local journal protocol stable in the wiki interface chart
347 - journal: reuse XZ context
348 - sd-journal: speed up sd_journal_get_data() with transparent hash table in bg
349 - journald: when dropping msgs due to ratelimit make sure to write
350 "dropped %u messages" not only when we are about to print the next
351 message that works, but alraedy after a short tiemout
352 - check if we can make journalctl by default use --follow mode inside of less if called without args?
353 - maybe add API to send pairs of iovecs via sd_journal_send
354 - journal: when writing journal auto-rotate if time jumps backwards
355 - journal: add a setgid "systemd-journal" utility to invoke from libsystemd-journal, which passes fds via STDOUT and does PK access
356 - journactl: support negative filtering, i.e. FOOBAR!="waldo",
357 and !FOOBAR for events without FOOBAR.
358 - journal: when rotating, copy over old acls/access mode
359 - journal: send out marker messages every now and then, and immediately sync with fdatasync() afterwards, in order to have hourly guaranteed syncs.
360 - 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.
361 - journal: find a way to allow dropping history early, based on priority, other rules
362 - journal: When used on NFS, check payload hashes
363 - journald: check whether it is OK if the client can still modify delivered journal entries
364 - journal live copy, based on libneon (client) and libmicrohttpd (server)
365 - journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
366 - refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
367 - journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
368 - journal: deal nicely with byte-by-byte copied files, especially regards header
369 - journalctl: expand tabs
370 - journal: store euid in journal if it differs from uid
371 - journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the components would fit
372 - Replace utmp, wtmp, btmp, and lastlog completely with journal
373 - Port upower to use the journal for historical power information used in future calculations
376 - document unit_name_mangle()
377 - document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fileds in
378 [Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
379 - man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
380 - Document word splitting syntax for ExecStart= and friends
381 - document that units from /etc override those from /usr and /run
382 - document the exit codes when services fail before they are exec()ed
383 - document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
384 - document in wiki how to map ical recurrence events to systemd timer unit calendar specifications
387 - systemctl list-jobs - show dependencies
388 - add systemctl switch to dump transaction without executing it
389 - Add a verbose mode to "systemctl start" and friends that explains what is being done or not done
390 - "systemctl disable" on a static unit prints no message and does
391 nothing. "systemctl enable" does nothing, and gives a bad message
392 about it. Should fix both to print nice actionable messages.
393 - print nice message from systemctl --failed if there are no entries shown, and hook that into ExecStartPre of rescue.service/emergency.service
394 - add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
395 - systemctl enable: improve the success messages (i.e. more human readable, less shell-like)
396 - systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into doesn't exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
397 - systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
398 - support "systemctl stop foobar@.service" to stop all units matching a certain template
399 - Something is wrong with symlink handling of "autovt@.service" in "systemctl list-unit-files"
401 * introduce ntp.service (or suchlike) as symlink that is used to arbitrate between various NTP implementations
403 * deal with sendmail/postfix exclusivity
406 - configurable jitter for timer events
407 - timer events with system resume
408 - timer units should get the ability to trigger when:
409 o CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (TFD_TIMER_CANCEL_ON_SET)
411 - Support 2012-02~4 as syntax for specifying the fourth to last day of the month.
413 * update the kernel's TZ (sys_tz) when DST changes
415 * sync down the system time to the RTC when:
416 - CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (the user explicitely requested a time set)
417 - DST/timezone changes && ntp is active && RTC-in-localtime (never do it without ntp)
418 This takes care of syncing ntpdate updates to the RTC, and DST updates for localtime
419 mode, it will never touch the RTC if the no reliable time source is active or the
420 user did not request anything like it.
422 * if booted in "quiet" mode, and an error happens, turn on status
423 output again, so that the emergency mode isn't totally
424 surprising. Also, terminate plymouth.
426 * libunwind support for coredump pattern hook, and includes this in
427 the message for coredumps. After all, libunwind is now capable to
428 unwind coredumps since a few weeks ago. This probably requires that
429 we have nice support for multi-line messages on display in
430 logs-show.c. Alternatively: use libelfutil, which seems to be the
431 better supported alternative.
433 * figure out relation of --all and --full in the various tools
435 * add libsystemd-password or so to query passwords during boot using the password agent logic
437 * 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().
439 * fedup: add --unit to systemctl switch-root somehow
440 * fedup: don't delete initrd on switch-root
444 - timedated: refuse time changes when NTP is on
446 * clean up date formatting and parsing so that all absolute/relative timestamps we format can also be parsed
448 * introduce generic AUGMENT_PID=, AUGMENT_DEVICE= fields
450 * on shutdown: move utmp, wall, audit logic all into PID 1 (or logind?), get rid of systemd-update-utmp-runlevel
452 * add "provisioning" instructions to setup an empty /etc + /var
453 - used to setup a new container from a shared /usr
454 - superset of tmpfiles model
455 - instructions shipped by packages and stored in /usr/lib/
456 - compose /etc/passwd and /etc/group, copy files
457 - able to create uid + gid used by packages, for file ownership
459 * make repeated alt-ctrl-del presses printing a dump, or even force a reboot without
460 waiting for the timeout
462 * high level net_prio setting in execution context
464 * hostnamed: before returning information from /etc/machine-info.conf check the modification data and reread. Similar for localed, ...
466 * currently x-systemd.timeout is lost in the initrd, since crypttab is copied into dracut, but fstab isn't
468 * refuse boot if /etc/machine-id is not useful (or set taint?)
471 - nspawn: consider changing users for -u with su, so that NSS resolving works correctly
472 - nspawn: implement personality changes a la linux32(8)
473 - nspawn: --read-only is not applied recursively to submounts
474 - nspawn: make use of device cgroup controller by default
475 - bind mount read-only the cgroup tree higher than nspawn
476 - nspawn: investigate whether we can support the same as LXC's
477 lxc.network.type=phys mode, and pass through entire network
478 interfaces to the container
479 - nspawn: maybe add a way to drop additional caps, in addition to add additional caps
480 - nspawn: maybe explicitly reset loginuid?
481 - nspawn: make it work for dwalsh and shared /usr containers -- tmpfs mounts as command line parameters, selinux exec context
484 - cryptsetup-generator: allow specification of passwords in crypttab itself
485 - move cryptsetup key caching into kernel keyctl?
486 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54982
487 - support rd.luks.allow-discards= kernel cmdline params in cryptsetup generator
489 * move debug shell to tty6 and make sure this doesn't break the gettys on tty6
491 * hw watchdog: optionally try to use the preset watchdog timeout instead of always overriding it
492 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54712
494 * after deserializing sockets in socket.c we should reapply sockopts and things
496 * make timer units go away after they elapsed
498 * http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2012-September/006502.html
499 (network and remote-fs on shutdown)
501 * come up with a nice way to write queue/read_ahead_kb for a block device without interfering with readahead
503 * move PID 1 segfaults to /var/lib/systemd/coredump?
505 * create /sbin/init symlinks from the build system
507 * Query Paul Moore about relabelling socket fds while they are open
509 * system.conf should have controls for cgroups
511 * allow writing multiple conditions in unit files on one line
513 * explore multiple service instances per listening socket idea
515 * shutdown: don't read-only mount anything when running in container
517 * MountFlags=shared acts as MountFlags=slave right now.
519 * ReadOnlyDirectories= is not applied recursively to submounts
521 * drop PID 1 reloading, only do reexecing (difficult: Reload()
522 currently is properly synchronous, Reexec() is weird, because we
523 can't delay the response properly until we are back, so instead of
524 being properly synchronous we just keep open the fd and close it
525 when done. That means clients don't get a successful method reply,
526 but much rather a disconnect on success.
528 * use opterr = 0 for all getopt tools
530 * properly handle loop back mounts via fstab, especially regards to fsck/passno
532 * allow services with no ExecStart= but with an ExecStop=
534 * dracut-shutdown needs to be ordered before unmounting /boot
536 * initialize the hostname from the fs label of /, if /etc/hostname does not exist?
538 * rename "userspace" to "core-os"
541 - syscall filter: add knowledge about compat syscalls
542 - syscall filter: don't enforce no new privs?
543 - syscall filter: option to return EPERM rather than SIGSYS?
544 - syscall filter: port to libseccomp
545 - system-wide seccomp filter
547 * .device aliases need to be implemented with the "following" logic, probably.
549 * load-fragment: when loading a unit file via a chain of symlinks
550 verify that it isn't masked via any of the names traversed.
552 * introduce Type=pid-file
554 * change Requires=basic.target to RequisiteOverride=basic.target
556 * when breaking cycles drop sysv services first, then services from /run, then from /etc, then from /usr
558 * move passno parsing to fstab generator
560 * automount: implement expire:
561 - set superblock timeout AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_TIMEOUT_CMD
562 - periodically run AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_EXPIRE_CMD
563 - every timeout/4 (original autofs logic)
564 - blocking, needs a thread
566 - receive expire packet on pipe if kernel tells the timeout is over
568 - answer expire packet on pipe with AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_{READY,FAIL}_CMD
569 - AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_EXPIRE_CMD returns
571 * services which create their own subcgroups break cgroup-empty notification (needs to be fixed in the kernel)
573 * ExecOnFailure=/usr/bin/foo
576 - remove src/udev/udev-builtin-firmware.c (CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER=n)
578 - unify utf8 validator code with shared/
580 - add trigger --subsystem-match=usb/usb_device device
582 * cleanup syslog 'priority' vs. 'level' wording
584 * 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
586 * support container_ttys=
588 * introduce mix of BindTo and Requisite
590 * add DeleteSocketsOnStop=yes|no option to socket units
592 * There's currently no way to cancel fsck (used to be possible via C-c or c on the console)
594 * add option to sockets to avoid activation. Instead just drop packets/connections, see http://cyberelk.net/tim/2012/02/15/portreserve-systemd-solution/
596 * default unix qlen is too small (10). bump sysctl? add sockopt?
598 * save coredump in Windows/Mozilla minidump format
600 * support crash reporting operation modes (https://live.gnome.org/GnomeOS/Design/Whiteboards/ProblemReporting)
602 * clean up session cgroups that remain after logout (think sshd), but eventually run empty
604 * when an instanced service exits, remove its parent cgroup too if possible.
606 * default to actual 32bit PIDs, via /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max
608 * be able to specify a forced restart of service A where service B depends on, in case B
609 needs to be auto-respawned?
611 * when a bus name of a service disappears from the bus make sure to queue further activation requests
613 * tmpfiles: apply "x" on "D" too (see patch from William Douglas)
615 * for services: don't set $HOME in services unless requested
617 * hide PAM/TCPWrap options in fragment parser when compile time disabled
619 * when we automatically restart a service, ensure we restart its rdeps, too.
621 * allow Type=simple with PIDFile=
622 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=723942
624 * move PAM code into its own binary
626 * implement Register= switch in .socket units to enable registration
627 in Avahi, RPC and other socket registration services.
629 * make sure systemd-ask-password-wall does not shutdown systemd-ask-password-console too early
631 * support sd_notify() style notification when reload begins (RELOADING=1), reload is finished (READY=1), and add ReloadSignal= then to use in combination
633 * support sd_notify() style notification when shutting down, to make auto-exit bus services work (STOPPING=1)
635 * verify that the AF_UNIX sockets of a service in the fs still exist
636 when we start a service in order to avoid confusion when a user
637 assumes starting a service is enough to make it accessible
639 * Make it possible to set the keymap independently from the font on
640 the kernel cmdline. Right now setting one resets also the other.
642 * and a dbus call to generate target from current state
645 - drop /.readahead on bigger upgrades with yum
646 - move readahead files into /var (look for them with .path units?)
647 - readahead: use BTRFS_IOC_DEFRAG_RANGE instead of BTRFS_IOC_DEFRAG ioctl, with START_IO
648 - readahead: when bumping /sys readahead variable save mtime and compare later to detect changes
649 - readahead: make use of EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT, as used by http://e4rat.sourceforge.net/
651 * add support for /bin/mount -s
653 * GC unreferenced jobs (such as .device jobs)
655 * write blog stories about:
656 - hwdb: what belongs into it, lsusb
657 - enabling dbus services
659 - how to make changes to sysctl and sysfs attributes
661 - how to pass throw-away units to systemd, or dynamically change properties of existing units
662 - how to integrate cgconfig and suchlike with systemd
663 - testing with Harald's awesome test kit
665 - how to develop against journal browsing APIs
666 - the journal HTTP iface
667 - non-cgroup resource management
668 - dynamic resource management with cgroups
669 - refreshed, longer missions statement
670 - calendar time events
671 - init=/bin/sh vs. "emergency" mode, vs. "rescue" mode, vs. "multi-user" mode, vs. "graphical" mode, and the debug shell
672 - how to create your own target
673 - instantiated apache, dovecot and so on
674 - hooking a script into various stages of shutdown/rearly booot
676 * allow port=0 in .socket units
678 * support systemd.mask= on the kernel command line.
680 * recreate systemd's D-Bus private socket file on SIGUSR2
682 * Support --test based on current system state
684 * investigate whether the gnome pty helper should be moved into systemd, to provide cgroup support.
686 * maybe introduce ExecRestartPre=
688 * dot output for --test showing the 'initial transaction'
690 * port over to LISTEN_FDS/LISTEN_PID:
691 - rpcbind (/var/run/rpcbind.sock!) HAVEPATCH
695 - libvirtd (/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock-ro)
696 - bluetoothd (/var/run/sdp! @/org/bluez/audio!)
699 * fingerprint.target, wireless.target, gps.target, netdevice.target
701 * io priority during initialization
703 * drop cap bounding set in readahead and other services
706 - figure out a simple way to wait for journal events in a way that
708 - add documentation to systemd.daemon
711 - plot per-process IO utilization
712 - group processes based on service association (cgroups)
713 - document initcall_debug
714 - kernel cmdline "bootchart" option for simplicity?
720 - natively watch for dbus-*.service symlinks (PENDING)
721 - allow specification of socket mode/umask when allocating DBusServer
722 - allow disabling of fd passing when connecting a AF_UNIX connection
723 - allow disabling of UID passing for AUTH EXTERNAL
724 - always pass cred data along each message
725 - teach dbus to activate all services it finds in /etc/systemd/services/org-*.service
727 * fix alsa mixer restore to not print error when no config is stored
729 * make cryptsetup lower --iter-time
731 * patch kernel for xattr support in /dev, /proc/, /sys?
733 * NTP: the kernel's 11-minutes-mode syncs the system time to the RTC, but only
734 in an ~30 minutes window. It does not adjust larger differences. Find a way
735 to tell the kernel, to always do a full time sync when the RTC is in UTC and
736 we are in 11-minutes-mode. When we trust the system time to NTP we also want
739 * kernel: add device_type = "fb", "fbcon" to class "graphics"
741 * drop accountsservice's StandardOutput=syslog and Type=dbus fields
743 * dbus upstream still refers to dbus.target and shouldn't
745 * dbus: in fedora, make /var/lib/dbus/machine-id a symlink to /etc/machine-id
747 * add "# export SYSTEMD_PAGER=" to bash login
749 * /usr/bin/service should actually show the new command line
751 * 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=
753 * fedora: F20: go timer units all the way, leave cron.daily for cron
755 * neither pkexec nor sudo initialize environ[] from the PAM environment?
757 * fedora: update policy to declare access mode and ownership of unit files to root:root 0644, and add an rpmlint check for it
761 * look for close() vs. close_nointr() vs. close_nointr_nofail()
763 * check for strerror(r) instead of strerror(-r)
765 * Use PR_SET_PROCTITLE_AREA if it becomes available in the kernel
767 * %m in printf() instead of strerror(errno);
771 * set_put(), hashmap_put() return values check. i.e. == 0 doesn't free()!
773 * use secure_getenv() instead of getenv() where appropriate
775 * link up selected blog stories from man pages and unit files Documentation= fields
777 Scheduled for removal or fixing:
779 * xxxOverridable dependencies (probably: fix)
