* Fedora: post FPC ticket to move add %tmpfiles_create to the packaging guidelines
-Preparation for 209:
+Features:
-* Review new libraries
+* fstab-generator: in a container, simply skip entries referencing physical devices
-* Rework cgroup propagation logic
+* mount /sys/fs/cgroup read-only (but leave the subdirs writable)
-* libsystemd-journal returns the object created as first param in sd_journal_new(), sd_bus_new() and suchlike as last...
+* gpt-auto-generator:
+ - Support LUKS for root devices
+ - Define new partition type for encrypted swap? Support probed LUKS for encrypted swap?
+ - Make /home automount rather than mount?
-Features:
+* improve journalctl performance by loading journal files
+ lazily. Encode just enough information in the file name, so that we
+ don't have to open it to know that it is not interesting for us, for
+ the most common operations.
+
+* support transient mount units
+
+* Imply DevicePolicy=closed when PrivateDevices= is used
+
+* add an "input" group to udev logic and add all input devices to it
+
+* libsystemd-login: implement getpeer_unit(), get_peer_slice(), ...
+
+* machined: provide calls GetMachineByAddress() on the manager
+ interface to get the machine for a local IP address, and
+ GetAddress() on the Machine interface to get the Address for a
+ machine. Implement via forking off child process which quickly joins
+ the cotnainer and passes data to parent. Show this in "machinectl
+ status", and use it to implement NSS module to provide automatic
+ name resolution for containers.
+
+* 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
+
+* MessageQueueMessageSize= and RLimitFSIZE= (and suchlike) should use parse_iec_size().
+
+* "busctl status" works only as root on dbus1, since we cannot read
+ /proc/$PID/exe
+
+* systemctl (and possibly related tools): support a new switch that
+ allows enumerating units in local containers recursively. "systemctl
+ list-units -R" or so should not only lists on the host, but also the
+ services in all containers in a pretty way, to give an overview of
+ the entire system. Also, maybe add "systemctl list-machines" which
+ works like "machinectl list" but includes information about the
+ health status of each registered machine. For that we should
+ probably implement something that encodes the system health status
+ in a single enum state, i.e. something like a system-wide state
+ starting → running → failed → stopping, that is based on the current
+ job queue and a check for failed services. Maybe then change
+ "systemctl status" without args to output this state along with a
+ selection of other data, such as the uptime or so.
* implement Distribute= in socket units to allow running multiple
service instances processing the listening socket, and open this up
for ReusePort=
-* add a timelimit to generator invocation
-
* socket units: support creating sockets in different namespace,
opening it up for JoinsNamespaceOf=. This would require to fork off
a tiny process that joins the namespace and creates/binds the socket
desktop UIs such as gnome-shell to freeze apps that are not visible
on screen, not unlike how job control works on the shell
-* machinectl bash completion is missing
-* busctl bash and zsh completions are outdated
+* completions:
+ - busctl zsh completion is outdated
+ - systemd-nspawn -Z/-L/-q is missing for zsh
+ - manager property enumeration was broken when systemd moved to /usr/lib/
* cgroups:
- - implement system-wide DefaultCPUAccounting=1 switch (and similar for blockio, memory?)
- implement per-slice CPUFairScheduling=1 switch
- handle jointly mounted controllers correctly
- introduce high-level settings for RT budget, swappiness
- add field to transient units that indicate whether systemd or somebody else saves/restores its settings, for integration with libvirt
- ensure scope units may be started only a single time
-* code cleanup
- - we probably should replace the left-over uses of strv_append() and replace them by strv_push() or strv_extend()
-
* Automatically configure swap partition to use for hibernation by looking for largest swap partition on the root disk?
* when we detect low battery and no AC on boot, show pretty splash and refuse boot
* 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
-* move config_parse_path_strv() out of conf-parser.c
-
* After coming back from hibernation reset hibernation swap partition using the /dev/snapshot ioctl APIs
* If we try to find a unit via a dangling symlink, generate a clean
Maybe take a BSD lock at the disk device node and teach udev to
check for that and suppress event handling.
-* something pulls in pcre as shared object dependency into our daemons such as hostnamed.
-
* allow implementation of InaccessibleDirectories=/ plus
ReadOnlyDirectories=... for whitelisting files for a service.
- NameLost/NameAcquired obsolete
- GVariant
- "const" properties (posted)
+ - path escaping
- port exit-on-idle logic to byebye ioctl
- update systemd.special(7) to mention that dbus.socket is only about the compatibility socket now
- allow updating attach flags during runtime
- pid1: peek into activating message when activating a service
- test bloom filter generation indexes
- 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
+ - constructors for bus messages should probably not be OK with a NULL bus pointer
+ - sd_bus_escape_label() should probably be reworked into sd_bus_make_bus_path(prefix, external_id)
+ - .busname units should not use get_user_creds()/get_cgroup_creds() but instead do NSS only in temporarily forked off child
* sd-event
- allow multiple signal handlers per signal?
* when isolating, try to figure out a way how we implicitly can order
all units we stop before the isolating unit...
-* add ConditionArchitecture= or so
-
* teach ConditionKernelCommandLine= globs or regexes (in order to match foobar={no,0,off})
* after all byte-wise realloc() is slow, even on glibc, so i guess we
* timedate: have global on/off switches for auto-time (NTP), and auto-timezone that connman can subscribe to.
-* dev-setup.c: when running in a container, create a tiny stub udev
- database with the systemd tag set for all network interfaces found,
- so that libudev reports them as present, and systemd's .device units
- will be activated.
-
* merge unit_kill_common() and unit_kill_context()
* introduce ExecCondition= in services
- document in wiki how to map ical recurrence events to systemd timer unit calendar specifications
- add a man page containing packaging guidelines and recommending usage of things like Documentation=, PrivateTmp=, PrivateNetwork= and ReadOnlyDirectories=/etc /usr.
- document systemd-journal-flush.service properly
- - man: remove .include documentation, and instead push people to use .d/*.conf
- documentation: recommend to connect the timer units of a service to the service via Also= in [Install]
- man: document the very specific env the shutdown drop-in tools live in
- man: extend runlevel(8) to mention that runlevels suck, and are dead. Maybe add runlevel(7) with a note about that too
mode, it will never touch the RTC if the no reliable time source is active or the
user did not request anything like it.
-* if booted in "quiet" mode, and an error happens, turn on status
- output again, so that the emergency mode isn't totally
- surprising. Also, terminate plymouth.
-
* libunwind support for coredump pattern hook, and includes this in
the message for coredumps. After all, libunwind is now capable to
unwind coredumps since a few weeks ago. This probably requires that
* currently x-systemd.timeout is lost in the initrd, since crypttab is copied into dracut, but fstab isn't
* nspawn:
- - nspawn: consider changing users for -u with /usr/bin/getent, so that NSS resolving works correctly
- - nspawn: implement personality changes a la linux32(8)
- nspawn: --read-only is not applied recursively to submounts
- - nspawn: make use of device cgroup controller by default
- bind mount read-only the cgroup tree higher than nspawn
- - nspawn: make it work for dwalsh and shared /usr containers -- tmpfs mounts as command line parameters, selinux exec context
+ - nspawn: make it work for dwalsh and shared /usr containers -- tmpfs mounts as command line parameters
- 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
- maybe: hookup nspawn and PrivateNetwork=yes with "ip netns"
- - allow booting disk images with a GPT signature using the bootloaderspec partition uuids
+ - generate predictable mac addresses for the netdev we create (host0), maybe based on guest's machine
+ name and machine-id of host (?)
* cryptsetup:
- cryptsetup-generator: allow specification of passwords in crypttab itself
* rename "userspace" to "core-os"
-* syscall filter: optionally don't enforce no new privs?
-
* load-fragment: when loading a unit file via a chain of symlinks
verify that it isn't masked via any of the names traversed.
- move to LGPL
- kill scsi_id
- add trigger --subsystem-match=usb/usb_device device
+ - reimport udev db after MOVE events for devices without dev_t
* 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
- Make sure ID_PATH is always exported and complete for
network devices where possible, so we can safely rely
on Path= matching
- - Check if Driver= is broken, or just my driver (bcma)
* sd-rtnl:
- add support for exiting containers without reading them fully first
- add more keys to [Route] and [Address] sections
- add support for more DHCPv4 options (and, longer term, other kinds of dynamic config)
- add proper initrd support (in particular generate .network/.link files based on /proc/cmdline)
+ - add reduced [Link] support to .network files
+ - add IPv4LL tests (inspire by DHCP)
+ - add Scope= parsing option for [Network]
+ - change LL address generation and make it predictable like get_mac() (link-config.c)
+ - have smooth transition from LL to routable address, without disconnecting clients.
