Bugfixes:
-* Re-enable "fsck -l" when it is ready:
- https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=79576#c5
* Should systemctl status \* work on all unit types, not just .service?
* properly handle .mount unit state tracking when two mount points are stacked one on top of another on the exact same mount point.
+* ExecStart with unicode characters fails in strv_split_quoted:
+
+ [Service]
+ Environment=ONE='one' "TWO='two two' too" THREE=
+ ExecStart=/bin/python3 -c 'import sys;print(sys.argv)' $ONE $TWO $THREE
+
+* MEMORY return code is overloaded for syntax errors in the commandline.
+ str_split_quoted() should return a real return code, so spawn_child can
+ report the failure properly.
+
+* udev_set_log_priority should verify the value before saving it.
+
External:
-* Fedora: when installing fedora with yum --installroot /var/run is a directory, not a symlink
- https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=975864
* Fedora: add an rpmlint check that verifies that all unit files in the RPM are listed in %systemd_post macros.
* Fedora: remove /etc/resolv.conf tmpfiles hack
+* wiki: update journal format documentation for lz4 additions
+
+* When lz4 gets an API for lz4 command output, make use of it to
+ compress coredumps in a way compatible with /usr/bin/lz4.
+
Features:
-* merge ~/.local/share and ~/.local/lib into one similar /usr/lib and /usr/share....
+* 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
+
+* configure.ac pretends dbus was optional but actually hardcodes use of dbus' pkg-config file to determine various dbus dirs such as policy and activation dirs
+
+* consider showing the unit names during boot up in the status output, not just the unit descriptions
+
+* dhcp: do we allow configuring dhcp routes on interfaces that are not the one we got the dhcp info from?
+
+* maybe allow timer units with an empty Units= setting, so that they
+ can be used for resuming the system but nothing else.
+
+* what to do about udev db binary stability for apps?
+
+* maybe provide an API to allow migration of foreign PIDs into existing scopes.
+
+* kdbus: maybe rename "connection name" concept to something that doesn't reuse the word "name"?
+
+* 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
-* make "systemctl suspend" block until we are back from suspend
+* systemctl: if it fails, show log output?
-* remove readahead in 217
+* maybe add "systemctl edit" that copies unit files from /usr/lib/systemd/system to /etc/systemd/system and invokes vim on them
+
+* maybe introduce AssertXYZ= similar to ConditionXYZ= that causes a unit to fail (instead of skipping it) if some condition is not true...
+
+* 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.
-* sd-event: - make it possible to embedd our event loop into foreign
- event loops by passing out the epoll fd and providing three functions
- that fit into GSource nicely.
-
* networkd:
- - add LLDP support
- - ipv4ll with multiple interfaces doesn't work when both dhcp and
- ipv4ll is used. for some reasons the kernel will currently pick an
- ipv4ll source address to reach non-ipv4ll gateways.
- - dhcp and ipv4ll should probably be skipped for "lo" devices, even
- if the user has a catchall .network file installed, that might
- theoretically match it.
- - we probably should introduce a new operational state that
- indicates that we are trying to acquire some configuration for a
- link but haven't acquired any yet. Just to inform the admin that
- networkd cares about an interface, but is still in progress..
+ - add LLDP client side support
- the DHCP lease data (such as NTP/DNS) is still made available when
a carrier is lost on a link. It should be removed instantly.
- .network setting that allows overriding of the hostname to send to the dhcp server
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-July/021550.html
- - add per-network Domains= settings, with a special syntax Domains=*
- for routing all non-otherwise routed traffic to this link
- - add UseDomains= setting to [DHCP] to add dhcp supplied domains to
- per-interface Domains= list.
- expose in the API the following bits:
- option 15, domain name and/or option 119, search list
- option 12, host name and/or option 81, fqdn
to clients. It should also pass on its own timezone information.
- provide a way to define a per-network interface default metric value
for all routes to it. possibly a second default for DHCP routes.
+ - allow Name= to be specified repeatedly in the [Match] section. Maybe also
+ support Name=foo*|bar*|baz ?
* resolved:
- put networkd events and rtnl events at a higher priority, so that
* Allow multiple ExecStart= for all Type= settings, so that we can cover rescue.service nicely
-* the resolv.conf tmpfiles line should be covered by ENABLE_NETWORKD...
-
-* sysusers:
- - also create entries in /etc/shadow, /etc/gshadow
- - allow setting the home directory of system users
- - allow configuration of ranges to allocate items in
- - add mode where we read sysusers data from stdin, so that we can run this from rpm scriptlets
-
* Add a new verb "systemctl top"
* logind: allow users to kill or lock their own sessions
* support setting empty environment variables with Environment= and EnvironmentFile=
-* machined/machinectl: sort IP addresses we return by scope and protocol
-* machined: write NSS module for looking up IP addresses for machines
-
* timer units: actually add extra delays to timer units with high AccuracySec values, don't start them already when we are awake...
* a way for container managers to turn off getty starting via $container_headless= or so...
* journalctl: add the ability to look for the most recent process of a binary. journalctl /usr/bin/X11 --pid=-1 or so...
-* set NOTIFY_SOCKET also for control processes
-
* 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
they run added to the initial transaction and thus confuse Type=idle.
-* 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)
* sd-event: generate a failure of a default event loop is executed out-of-thread
* unify dispatch table in systemctl_main() and friends
-* Automatically configure swap partition to use for hibernation by looking for largest swap partition on the root disk?
-
* 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
* After coming back from hibernation reset hibernation swap partition using the /dev/snapshot ioctl APIs
- kdbus mapping
- NameLost/NameAcquired obsolete
- GVariant
- - "const" properties (posted)
- path escaping
- update systemd.special(7) to mention that dbus.socket is only about the compatibility socket now
- test bloom filter generation indexes
* sd-event
- allow multiple signal handlers per signal?
+ - document chaining of signal handler for SIGCHLD and child handlers
* in the final killing spree, detect processes from the root directory, and
complain loudly if they have argv[0][0] == '@' set.
* maybe add a generator that looks for "systemd.run=" on the kernel cmdline for container usercases...
-* timedatctl, localectl: possibly make some commands work without the daemon, for chroot situations...
-
* timedatectl: print a nicer message when enabling ntp fails because ntpd/chrony are not installed
* cgtop: make cgtop useful in a container
* think about window-manager-run-as-user-service problem: exit 0 → activate shutdown.target; exit != 0 → restart service
-* use "log level" rather than "log priority" everywhere
-
* merge unit_kill_common() and unit_kill_context()
* introduce ExecCondition= in services
* service: watchdog logic: for testing purposes allow ping, but do not require pong
* journal:
+ - consider introducing implicit _TTY= field
- import and delete pstore filesystem content at startup
- journald: also get thread ID from client, plus thread name
- journal: when waiting for journal additions in the client always sleep at least 1s or so, in order to minimize wakeups
- 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.
- journal: find a way to allow dropping history early, based on priority, other rules
- journal: When used on NFS, check payload hashes
- - journald: check whether it is OK if the client can still modify delivered journal entries
- journal live copy, based on libneon (client) and libmicrohttpd (server)
- journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
- refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
- journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the components would fit
- Replace utmp, wtmp, btmp, and lastlog completely with journal
- journalctl: instead --after-cursor= maybe have a --cursor=XYZ+1 syntax?
- - tmpfiles: when applying ownership to /run/log/journal, also do this for the journal fails contained in it
- when a kernel driver logs in a tight loop, we should ratelimit that too.
- journald: optionally, log debug messages to /run but everything else to /var
- journald: when we drop syslog messages because the syslog socket is
- "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 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...
* timer units:
- timer units should get the ability to trigger when:
* properly handle loop back mounts via fstab, especially regards to fsck/passno
-* allow services with no ExecStart= but with an ExecStop=
-
-* dracut-shutdown needs to be ordered before unmounting /boot
-
* initialize the hostname from the fs label of /, if /etc/hostname does not exist?
* rename "userspace" to "core-os"
* ExecOnFailure=/usr/bin/foo
* udev:
- - remove src/udev/udev-builtin-firmware.c (CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER=n)
- move to LGPL
- kill scsi_id
- add trigger --subsystem-match=usb/usb_device device
* make sure systemd-ask-password-wall does not shutdown systemd-ask-password-console too early
-* support sd_notify() style notification when reload begins (RELOADING=1), reload is finished (READY=1), and add ReloadSignal= then to use in combination
-
-* support sd_notify() style notification when shutting down, to make auto-exit bus services work (STOPPING=1)
+* add ReloadSignal= for configuring a reload signal to use
* verify that the AF_UNIX sockets of a service in the fs still exist
when we start a service in order to avoid confusion when a user
* and a dbus call to generate target from current state
-* readahead:
- - drop /.readahead on bigger upgrades with yum
- - move readahead files into /var (look for them with .path units?)
- - readahead: use BTRFS_IOC_DEFRAG_RANGE instead of BTRFS_IOC_DEFRAG ioctl, with START_IO
- - 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/
-
* GC unreferenced jobs (such as .device jobs)
* write blog stories about:
- implement reconfigure support, see 5.3., 15.11. and 22.20.
- implement information request, see 1.2. and 18.1.5.
- implement support for temporary adressess (IA_TA)
- - implement elapsed time option
- implement dhcpv6 authentication
- investigate the usefulness of Confirm messages; i.e. are there any
situations where the link changes without any loss in carrier detection
* register catalog database signature as file magic
-* zsh shell completion: <command> <verb> -<TAB> should complete options, but currently
- does not
