Features:
-* sd-resolve: drop res_query wrapping, people should call via the bus to resolved instead
+* "systemctl preset-all" should probably order the unit files it
+ operates on lexicographically before starting to work, in order to
+ ensure deterministic behaviour if two unit files conflict (like DMs
+ do, for example)
+
+* resolved should optionally register additional per-interface LLMNR
+ names, so that for the container case we can establish the same name
+ (maybe "host") for referencing the server, everywhere.
+
+* systemd-journal-upload (or a new, related tool): allow pushing out
+ journal messages onto the network in BSD syslog protocol,
+ continously. Default to some link-local IP mcast group, to make this
+ useful as a one-stop debugging tool.
+
+* synchronize console access with BSD locks:
+ http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-October/024582.html
+
+* as soon as we have kdbus, and sender timestamps, revisit coalescing multiple parallel daemon reloads:
+ http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-December/025862.html
+
+* 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
+
+* the install state probably shouldn't get confused by generated units, think dbus1/kdbus compat!
+
+* revisit rfkill. the rfkill device names are counted up, and not stable. instead: store per kind of device together with PCI path, ignore the device name.
+
+* in systemctl list-unit-files: show the install value the presets would suggest for a service in a third column
-* kdbus: peeking is subject to a race when we look at a message while the message is being migrated to the implementor's connection. Needs kernel fix, and then we need to invoke the FREE ioctl in busname_peek_message()
+* we should try harder to collapse start jobs for swaps that end up being the same:
+ http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-November/025359.html
-* kdbus: for some reason "busctl monitor" only shows metadata for signal msgs, never method call or method reply msgs
+* timedated should compensate on SetTime for the time spent in polkit
+
+* figure out what to do with libmount and utab?
+
+* We really should have a FOREACH macro to iterate through inotify events we read, similar to KDBUS_FOREACH_ITEM
+
+* figure out when we can use the coarse timers
+
+* sd-resolve: drop res_query wrapping, people should call via the bus to resolved instead
* add "systemctl start -v foobar.service" that shows logs of a service
while the start command runs. This is non-trivial to do without
races though, since we should flush out all journal messages before
returning from the "systemctl stop".
-* firstboot: make it useful to be run immediately after yum --installroot to set up a machine.
+* 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
* timesyncd + resolved: add ugly bus calls to set NTP and DNS servers per-interface, for usage by NM
* networkd-wait-online really should have a timeout by default
-* expose orientation sensors through logind
-
* 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
-* resolved: maybe randomize DNS UDP source ports
-
-* resolved: maybe compare query section of DNS replies
-
* machined: add an API so that libvirt-lxc can inform us about network interfaces being removed or added to an existing machine
* maybe add support for specifier expansion in user.conf, specifically DefaultEnvironment=
-* kdbus: busnames.target should get pulled in by basic.target
-
* code cleanup: retire FOREACH_WORD_QUOTED, port to unquote_first_word() loops instead
-* logind: when the power button is pressed short, just popup a logout dialog. If it is pressed for 1s, do the usual shutdown. Inspiration are Macs here.
-
-* optionally support running journald from the command line for testing purposes in external projects
-
-* journald: allow per-priority and per-service retention times when rotating/vacuuming
-
* introduce systemd-timesync-wait.service or so to sync on an NTP fix?
* systemd --user should issue sd_notify() upon reaching basic.target, not on becoming idle
* maybe provide an API to allow migration of foreign PIDs into existing scopes.
-* PID 1 doesn't apply nspawns devices cgroup policy
-
* maybe support a new very "soft" reboot mode, that simply kills all processes, disassembles everything, flushes /run and sysvipc, and then reexecs systemd again
* man: document that corrupted journal files is nothing to act on
-* bus-proxy: when passing messages from kdbus, make sure we properly
- handle the case where a large number of fds is appended that we
- cannot pass into sendmsg() of the AF_UNIX sokcet (which only accepts
- 253 messages)
-
* man: maybe use the word "inspect" rather than "introspect"?
-* introduce machines.target to order after all nspawn instances
-
-* systemd-nspawn@.service should fail if some nspawn arg is invalid, with Type=notify
-
* "machinectl list" should probably show columns for OS version and IP addresses
-* systemctl: if it fails, show log output?
+* systemctl: if some operation fails, show log output?
-* maybe add "systemctl edit" that copies unit files from /usr/lib/systemd/system to /etc/systemd/system and invokes vim on them
+* systemctl edit: add commented help text to the end, like git commit
* refcounting in sd-resolve is borked
* exponential backoff in timesyncd and resolved when we cannot reach a server
-* journald: make use of uid-range.h to managed uid ranges to split
- journals in.
-
* tmpfiles: port to unquote_many_words(), similar to sysusers
* unquote_many_words() should probably be used by a lot of code that
currently uses FOREACH_WORD and friends. For example, most conf
parsing callbacks should use it.
-* logind: make the Suspend()/Hibernate() bus calls wait for the for
- the job to be completed. before returning, so that clients can wait
- for "systemctl suspend" to finish to know when the suspending is
- complete.
-
* merge ~/.local/share and ~/.local/lib into one similar /usr/lib and /usr/share....
-* journald: allows specification of UID range for splitting up journal files
-
* systemd.show_status= should probably have a mode where only failed
units are shown.
- edns0
- dname
- cname on PTR (?)
-
-* Ignore .busname units on classic D-Bus boots, systemd-resolved cannot be started on kdbus
- without the active policy and should get a Wants=org.freedesktop.resolve1.busname to
- pull-in the policy.
+ - maybe randomize DNS UDP source ports
+ - maybe compare query section of DNS replies
* Allow multiple ExecStart= for all Type= settings, so that we can cover rescue.service nicely
* Add a new verb "systemctl top"
-* logind: allow users to kill or lock their own sessions
-
* add new gpt type for btrfs volumes
* support empty /etc boots nicely:
* figure out a nice way how we can let the admin know what child/sibling unit causes cgroup membership for a specific unit
-* journalctl: add the ability to look for the most recent process of a binary. journalctl /usr/bin/X11 --pid=-1 or so...
-
* mount_cgroup_controllers(): symlinks need to get the label applied
* For timer units: add some mechanisms so that timer units that trigger immediately on boot do not have the services
* sd-event: generate a failure of a default event loop is executed out-of-thread
-* expose "Locked" property on logind sesison objects
-
* add bus api to query unit file's X fields.
* consider adding RuntimeDirectoryUser= + RuntimeDirectoryGroup=
- Define new partition type for encrypted swap? Support probed LUKS for encrypted swap?
- Make /home automount rather than mount?
-* improve journalctl performance by loading journal files
- lazily. Encode just enough information in the file name, so that we
- do not have to open it to know that it is not interesting for us, for
- the most common operations.
-
* add generator that pulls in systemd-network from containers when
CAP_NET_ADMIN is set, more than the loopback device is defined, even
when it is otherwise off
* refuse boot if /etc/os-release is missing or /etc/machine-id cannot be set up
-* given that logind now lets PID 1 do all nasty work, we can
- probably reduce the capability set it retains substantially.
- (we need CAP_SYS_ADMIN for drmSetMaster(), so maybe not worth it)
-
* btrfs raid assembly: some .device jobs stay stuck in the queue
* make sure gdm does not use multi-user-x but the new default X configuration file, and then remove multi-user-x from systemd
ReadOnlyDirectories=... for whitelisting files for a service.
* sd-bus:
+ - xml policy inforcement and bus activated services is broken?
+ - rework errno registration logic
+ - how can we make the xml enforcement for native clients unnecessary?
+ - kdbus: the kernel should not allow messages to be delivered that have a reply serial != 0, reply-expect unset, but no appropriate window
+ - kdbus: when we fake creds euid being (uint32_t) -1 is weirdly translated
+ - kdbus: timestamps on kernel's NameOwnerChanged messages?
+ - kdbus: busctl monitor message ordering is wildly out-of-order?
+ - kdbus' busnames.target should get pulled in by basic.target
+ - Ignore .busname units on classic D-Bus boots, systemd-resolved cannot be started on kdbus
+ without the active policy and should get a Wants=org.freedesktop.resolve1.busname to
+ pull-in the policy.
+ - port to sd-resolve for connecting to TCP dbus servers
- kdbus: maybe add controlling tty and ppid metadata fields
- 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
- when kdbus does not take our message without memfds, try again with memfds
- - systemd-bus-proxyd needs to enforce good old XML policy
- introduce sd_bus_emit_object_added()/sd_bus_emit_object_removed() that automatically includes the build-in interfaces in the list
- - port to sd-resolve for connecting to TCP dbus servers
- see if we can drop more message validation on the sending side
- add API to clone sd_bus_message objects
- make AddMatch calls on dbus1 transports async?
- path escaping
- update systemd.special(7) to mention that dbus.socket is only about the compatibility socket now
- test bloom filter generation indexes
+ - bus-proxy: when passing messages from kdbus, make sure we properly
+ handle the case where a large number of fds is appended that we
+ cannot pass into sendmsg() of the AF_UNIX sokcet (which only accepts
+ 253 messages)
+ - kdbus: introduce a concept of "send-only" connections
+ - 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.
* sd-event
- allow multiple signal handlers per signal?
any session we should probably just become a NOP, since that's
usually not a real user session but just some system code that just
needs setuid().
+ - logind: make the Suspend()/Hibernate() bus calls wait for the for
+ the job to be completed. before returning, so that clients can wait
+ for "systemctl suspend" to finish to know when the suspending is
+ complete.
+ - logind: when the power button is pressed short, just popup a
+ logout dialog. If it is pressed for 1s, do the usual
+ shutdown. Inspiration are Macs here.
+ - logind: allow users to kill or lock their own sessions
+ - expose "Locked" property on logind sesison objects
+ - given that logind now lets PID 1 do all nasty work, we can
+ probably reduce the capability set it retains substantially.
+ (we need CAP_SYS_ADMIN for drmSetMaster(), so maybe not worth it)
+ - expose orientation sensors and tablet mode through logind
* exec: when deinitializating a tty device fix the perms and group, too, not only when initializing. Set access mode/gid to 0620/tty.
boot, and causes the journal to be moved back to /run on shutdown,
so that we do not keep /var busy. This needs to happen synchronously,
hence doing this via signals is not going to work.
+ - optionally support running journald from the command line for testing purposes in external projects
+ - journald: allow per-priority and per-service retention times when rotating/vacuuming
+ - journald: make use of uid-range.h to managed uid ranges to split
+ journals in.
+ - journalctl: add the ability to look for the most recent process of a binary. journalctl /usr/bin/X11 --pid=-1 or so...
+ - improve journalctl performance by loading journal files
+ lazily. Encode just enough information in the file name, so that we
+ do not have to open it to know that it is not interesting for us, for
+ the most common operations.
* document:
- document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fields in
- bind mount read-only the cgroup tree higher than nspawn
- refuses to boot containers without /etc/machine-id (OK?), and with empty /etc/machine-id (not OK).
- support taking a btrfs snapshot at startup and dropping it afterwards
+ - introduce machines.target to order after all nspawn instances
+ - systemd-nspawn@.service should fail if some nspawn arg is invalid, with Type=notify
+ - PID 1 doesn't apply nspawns devices cgroup policy
* cryptsetup:
- cryptsetup-generator: allow specification of passwords in crypttab itself
- how to make changes to sysctl and sysfs attributes
- remote access
- how to pass throw-away units to systemd, or dynamically change properties of existing units
- - how to integrate cgconfig and suchlike with systemd
- testing with Harald's awesome test kit
- auto-restart
- how to develop against journal browsing APIs
* zsh shell completion:
- <command> <verb> -<TAB> should complete options, but currently does not
- - systemctl add-wants,add-requires
+ - systemctl add-wants,add-requires, edit
Regularly:
