-F15:
+Bugfixes:
* swap units that are activated by one name but shown in the kernel under another are semi-broken
-* NFS, networkmanager ordering issue (PENDING)
-
* NM should pull in network.target (PENDING)
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=692008
-* bluetooth should be possible to disable (PENDING)
+* make anaconda write timeout=0 for encrypted devices
-* add fstab fields to add wait timeouts, change Wants to Requires by local-fs.target
+* service: pid file reading after reload doesn't work, since we don't reset the pid variable
-* bind mounts are ignored
- https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=682662

-* 0595f9a1c182a84581749823ef47c5f292e545f9 is borked, freezes shutdown
- (path: after installing inotify watches, recheck file again to fix race)
+* Dangling symlinks of .automount unit files in .wants/ directories, set up
+ automount points even when the original .automount file did not exist
+ anymore. Only the .mount unit was still around.
-* get writev() /dev/kmsg support into the F15 kernel
- https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/4/6/473
- patched merged into -mm
+* make polkit checks async
-* fix sd_is_socket() invocation in dbus
+* properly handle .mount unit state tracking when two mount points are stacked one on top of another on the exact same mount point.
-* fix default timeout values mentioned in man page
+Features:
-* New CK release, with sysinit.target dropping and TTY loop
+* logind: selinux is borked...
-* New Avahi package, enable it by default
+* logind: sends SessionNew on Lock()?
-* don't trim empty cgroups
- https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=678555
+* logind: allow showing logout dialog from system
-Features:
+* document that %% can be used to write % in a string that is specifier extended
-* use pivot_root on shutdown so that we can unmount the root directory.
+* check utf8 everywhere
-* fix alsa mixer restore to not print error when no config is stored
+* when an instanced service exits, remove its parent cgroup too if possible.
-* show enablement status in systemctl status
+* Make libselinux, libattr, libcap, libdl dependencies only of the tools which actually need them.
-* write blog stories about:
- - enabling dbus services
- - status update
- - you are a distro: why switch?
+* as Tom Gundersen pointed out there's a always a dep loop if people use crypto file systems with random keys
-* allow port = 0 in .socket units
+* unset container= in PID1?
-* rename systemd-logger to systemd-stdio-syslog-bridge
+* automatically escape unit names passed on the service (i.e. think "systemctl start serial-getty.service@serial/by-path/jshdfjsdfhkjh" being automatically escaped as necessary.
-* introduce /usr/lib/binfmt.d/, /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/
+* if we can not get user quota for tmpfs, mount a separate tmpfs instance
+ for every user in /run/user/$USER with a configured maximum size
-* take BSD file lock on tty devices when using them?
+* default to actual 32bit PIDs, via /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max
-* avoid any flag files, or readahead files in /, we need to support r/o /
- or / on tmpfs like Android setups.
+* add an option to make mounts private/shareable and so on, enable this for root by default
-* move readahead files into /var, look for them with .path units
+* internal restart counter for units (focus on auto-respawn)
-* teach dbus to activate all services it finds in /etc/systemd/services/org-*.service
+* finer-grained auto-respawn settings (rate-limit)
-* get process transport into dbus for systemctl -P/-H
+* be able to specify a forced restart of service A where service B depends on, in case B
+ needs to be auto-respawned?
-* document default dependencies
+* Something is wrong with symlink handling of "autovt@.service" in "systemctl list-unit-files"
-* support systemd.whitelist=/systemd.blacklist= on the kernel command
- line.
+* introduce sd_log_open() to create a connection to the syslog bridge via sd-daemon.h
-* Find a way to replace /var/run, /var/lock directories with
- symlinks during an RPM package upgrade (filesystem.rpm or systemd.rpm).
- (lua code to create symlinks right away for new installations is in filesytem.rpm now)
- We soon want to get rid of var-run.mount var-lock.mount units:
- if mountpoint /run ; then
- umount /var/run || :
- else
- mount --move /var/run /run || mount --bind /var/run /run
- fi
- mv /var/run /var/.run.save
- ln -s /run /var/run
- echo "R /var/.run.save" > /etc/tmpfiles.d/remove-run-save.conf
+* when a bus name of a service disappears from the bus make sure to queue further activation requests
-* when key file cannot be found, read it from kbd in cryptsetup
+* something like ConditionExec= or ExecStartPre= without failure state
-* add switch to systemctl to show enabled but not running services. Or
- another switch that shows service that have been running since
- booting but aren't running anymore.
+* service restart retry configuration
-* reuse mkdtemp namespace dirs in /tmp?
+* tmpfiles: apply "x" on "D" too (see patch from William Douglas)
+* tmpfiles: support generation of char/block devices, symlinks and one-line files (think sysfs)
-* recreate systemd's D-Bus private socket file on SIGUSR2
+* Introduce ControlGroupPersistant=yes to set +t on the tasks file when creating the cgroup
-* be more specific what failed:
- ...
- Unmounting file systems.
- Not all file systems unmounted, 1 left.
- Disabling swaps.
- Detaching loop devices.
- Detaching DM devices.
- Cannot finalize remaining file systems and devices, trying to kill remaining processes.
- Unmounting file systems.
- Not all file systems unmounted, 1 left.
- Cannot finalize remaining file systems and devices, giving up.
- ...
-
-* check for compiled-in, but not active selinux, and don't print any warnings
- about policy loading. Probably check for available selinux in /proc/filesystems,
- and check for active selinux with getcon_raw() == "kernel"
+* don't set $HOME in services unless requested
-* Support --test based on current system state
+* hide PAM/TCPWrap options in fragment parser when compile time disabled
-* systemctl enable as D-Bus call
+* when we automatically restart a service, ensure we retsart its rdeps, too.
-* consider services with any kind of link in /etc/systemd/system enabled
+* allow Type=simple with PIDFile=
+ https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=723942
-* show failure error string in "systemctl status"
+* move PAM code into its own binary
-* make sure timeouts are applied to Type=oneshot services.
+* warn if the user stops a service but not its associated socket
-* Maybe implement "systemctl mask" and "systemctl unmask", but not
- document it? When doing that add switch to make this temporary by
- placing mask links in /dev.
+* logind: spawn user@..service on login
-* detect LXC environment
+* logind: non-local X11 server handling
-* invoke vhangup() before and after invoking getty

+* implement Register= switch in .socket units to enable registration
+ in Avahi, RPC and other socket registration services.
-* support "auto" and "comment=systemd.automount" at the same time for an fstab entry
+* make sure people don't leave processes around after ExecStartPre=
-* Maybe store in unit files whether a service should be enabled by default on package installation
- (belongs into a distro pattern though, not in an upstream package's service file)
+* make sure systemd-ask-password-wall does not shutdown systemd-ask-password-console too early
-* perhaps add "systemctl reenable" as combination of "systemctl disable" and "systemctl enable"
+* readahead: use BTRFS_IOC_DEFRAG_RANGE instead of BTRFS_IOC_DEFRAG ioctl, with START_IO
-* need a way to apply mount options of api vfs from systemd unit files
- (or some other modern source?) instead of fstab?
+* readahead: check whether a btrfs volume includes ssd by checking mount flag "ssd"
-* maybe introduce ExecRestartPre=
+* support sd_notify() style notification when reload begins (RELOADING=1), reload is finished (READY=1)
+
+* support sd_notify() style notification when shutting down, to make auto-exit bus services work (STOPPING=1)
+
+* 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
+ assumes starting a service is enough to make it accessible
-* figure out what happened to bluez patch
+* Make it possible to set the keymap independently from the font on
+ the kernel cmdline. Right now setting one resets also the other.
-* Patch systemd-fsck to use -C and pass console fd to it
+* move nss-myhostname into systemd
+
+* and a dbus call to generate target from current state
+
+* detect LXC with $container=lxc
+
+* drop /.readahead on bigger upgrades with yum
+
+* add inode nr check to readahead to suppress preloading changed files
+
+* add support for /bin/mount -s
+
+* GC unreferenced jobs (such as .device jobs)
+
+* cgroup_notify_empty(): recursively check groups up the tree, too
+
+* when failing to start a service due to ratelimiting, try again later, if restart=always is set
+
+* write blog stories about:
+ - enabling dbus services
+ - status update
+ - how to make changes to sysctl and sysfs attributes
+ - remote access
+ - cgroup best pratices to avoid stepping on each others toes
+ - how to pass throw-away units to systemd, or dynamically change properties of existing units
+ - how to integrate cgconfig and suchlike with systemd
+ - security properties
+ - xinetd conversion
+ - details of instantiated @.service setups
+
+* allow port=0 in .socket units
+
+* move readahead files into /var, look for them with .path units
+
+* teach dbus to activate all services it finds in /etc/systemd/services/org-*.service
+
+* support systemd.mask= on the kernel command line.
+
+* when key file cannot be found, read it from kbd in cryptsetup
+
+* reuse mkdtemp namespace dirs in /tmp?
+
+* recreate systemd's D-Bus private socket file on SIGUSR2
+
+* Support --test based on current system state
+
+* investigate whether the gnome pty helper should be moved into systemd, to provide cgroup support.
+
+* maybe introduce ExecRestartPre=
* configurable jitter for timer events
+* timer events with system resume
+
+* timer events on calendar time
+
* Support ProcessNeededForShutdown=true to allow stuff like mdmon to
be killed very late after the rootfs is read only? If implement pass
this to shutdown binary via command line argument.
-* Integrate "mdadm --wait-clean". Maybe just let SIGTERM to mdmon trigger the
- needed action
-
* dot output for --test showing the 'initial transaction'
* calendar time support in timer, iCalendar semantics for the timer stuff (RFC2445)
- - check timerfd() patch: http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/11/23/290
-
-* systemd --user
- - get PR_SET_ANCHOR merged: http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/2/2/165
-
-* add VT tracking:
- - provide CK functionality
- - start getty only when actual vt switch happens (same model as
- socket on-demand activation). allocate the next free tty and
- start a getty there. this way, pressing alt-f[1-12] will switch
- through running X and getty sessions, and any unallocated
- activated tty will start a new getty. the hardcoding of
- getty[1-6] will entirely go away.

+
+* fix alsa mixer restore to not print error when no config is stored
* udisks should not use udisks-part-id, instead use blkid. also not probe /dev/loopxxx
* make cryptsetup lower --iter-time
-* patch kernel for xattr support in /dev, /proc/, /sys and /sys/fs/cgroup.
+* patch kernel for xattr support in /dev, /proc/, /sys and /sys/fs/cgroup?
+
+* NTP: the kernel's 11-minutes-mode syncs the system time to the RTC, but only
+ in an ~30 minutes window. It does not adjust larger differences. Find a way
+ to tell the kernel, to always do a full time sync when the RTC is in UTC and
+ we are in 11-minutes-mode. When we trust the system time to NTP we also want
+ the RTC to sync up.
* patch kernel for cpu feature modalias for autoloading aes/kvm/...
- http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/ak/linux-misc-2.6.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/cpuid-match
