Features:
+* udev should make /dev/loop-control and /dev/btrfs-control owned by the "disk" group, https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1045432
+
+* support empty /etc boots nicely:
+ - tmpfiles: add nice way to copy files /usr/share/factory/etc → /etc
+ - nspawn/gpt-generator: introduce new gpt partition type for /usr
+
* generator that automatically discovers btrfs subvolumes, identifies their purpose based on some xattr on them.
* support setting empty environment variables with Environment= and EnvironmentFile=
* For timer units: add some mechanisms so that timer units that trigger immediately on boot do not have the services they run added to the initial transaction and thus confuse Type=idle.
-* Add RPM macros for registering/unregistering binfmt drop-ins
-
* Add timeout to early-boot, and shut down the system if it is hit. Solves the laptop-in-bag problem and is useful for embedded cases
* 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)
do not have to open it to know that it is not interesting for us, for
the most common operations.
-* support transient mount units
-
-* add an "input" group to udev logic and add all input devices to it
-
* 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
* use "log level" rather than "log priority" everywhere
-* timedate: have global on/off switches for auto-time (NTP), and auto-timezone that connman can subscribe to.
-
* merge unit_kill_common() and unit_kill_context()
* introduce ExecCondition= in services
about it. Should fix both to print nice actionable messages.
- print nice message from systemctl --failed if there are no entries shown, and hook that into ExecStartPre of rescue.service/emergency.service
- add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
- - systemctl enable: improve the success messages (i.e. more human readable, less shell-like)
- systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into does not exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
- systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
- support "systemctl stop foobar@.service" to stop all units matching a certain template
* unit install:
- "systemctl mask" should find all names by which a unit is accessible
(i.e. by scanning for symlinks to it) and link them all to /dev/null
- - "systemctl disable" of a unit instance removes all symlinks, but should
- only remove the instance symlink (systemctl disable of a template
- unit however should remove them all).
- systemctl list-unit-files should list generated files (and probably with a new state "generated" for them, or so)
- systemctl: maybe add "systemctl add-wants" or so...
-* deal with sendmail/postfix exclusivity
-
* timer units:
- timer units should get the ability to trigger when:
o CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (TFD_TIMER_CANCEL_ON_SET)
* fedup: do not delete initrd on switch-root
* fedup: generator
-* timedated: refuse time changes when NTP is on
-
* clean up date formatting and parsing so that all absolute/relative timestamps we format can also be parsed
* on shutdown: move utmp, wall, audit logic all into PID 1 (or logind?), get rid of systemd-update-utmp-runlevel
-* add "factory" instructions to setup an empty /etc + /var
- - used to setup a new container from a shared /usr
- - superset of tmpfiles model
- - instructions shipped by packages and stored in /usr/lib/
- - compose /etc/passwd and /etc/group, copy files
- - able to create uid + gid used by packages, for file ownership
-
* make repeated alt-ctrl-del presses printing a dump, or even force a reboot without
waiting for the timeout
* make timer units go away after they elapsed
-* http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2012-September/006502.html
- (network and remote-fs on shutdown)
-
* come up with a nice way to write queue/read_ahead_kb for a block device without interfering with readahead
* move PID 1 segfaults to /var/lib/systemd/coredump?
* create /sbin/init symlinks from the build system
-* Query Paul Moore about relabelling socket fds while they are open
-
* allow writing multiple conditions in unit files on one line
-* explore multiple service instances per listening socket idea
-
* MountFlags=shared acts as MountFlags=slave right now.
* drop PID 1 reloading, only do reexecing (difficult: Reload()
* when a bus name of a service disappears from the bus make sure to queue further activation requests
* tmpfiles:
- - check systemd-tmpfiles for selinux context hookup for mknod(), symlink() and similar
- apply "x" on "D" too (see patch from William Douglas)
* for services: do not set $HOME in services unless requested
- readahead: when bumping /sys readahead variable save mtime and compare later to detect changes
- readahead: make use of EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT, as used by http://e4rat.sourceforge.net/
-* add support for /bin/mount -s
-
* GC unreferenced jobs (such as .device jobs)
* write blog stories about:
