* properly handle .mount unit state tracking when two mount points are stacked one on top of another on the exact same mount point.
-* add 'set -e' to scripts in test/
-* make test in test/ work with separate output dir
-
-* suppress log output on shutdown when "quiet" is used
-
Fedora 19:
-* make anaconda write timeout=0 for encrypted devices
-
-* make sure pkexec works fine with pam_systemd works fine with audit=0
-
-* create /var/log/journal/
-
* external: maybe it is time to patch procps so that "ps" links to
libsystemd-logind to print a pretty service name, seat name, session
name in its output. Currently it only shows cgroup membership, but
that's sometimes kinda hard to parse for a human.
* cgroup attrs:
- - add man page for systemctl commands
- update dbus interface docs in wiki
-* kernel cmdline switch to turn off predictable network interface names
+* localed:
+ - localectl: support new converted x11→console keymaps
-* journal is not closed properly at shutdown when run in a container?
+Features:
-* introduce new "journal" group in place of adm?
+* add nspawn@.service
-* localed:
- - localectl: add listing support for X11 keymaps, by parsing /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/xorg.lst
- - localectl: support new converted x11→console keymaps
+* investigate endianess issues of UUID vs. GUID
-* logind: Class property should probably know "background" or so as value for cron jobs, and the inhibition checks should filter those out too.
+* see if we can fix https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=63672
+ without dropping the location cache entirely.
-* timer logic is confused by units which are skipped due to failing condition
- http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2013-February/008816.html
+* dbus: when a unit failed to load (i.e. is in UNIT_ERROR state), we
+ should be able to safely try another attempt when the bus call LoadUnit() is invoked.
-Features:
+* if pam_systemd is invoked by su from a process that is outside of a
+ 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().
-* journal-or-kmsg is currently broken? See reverted commit 4a01181e460686d8b4a543b1dfa7f77c9e3c5ab8.
+* add a pam module that passes the hdd passphrase into the PAM stack and then expires it, for usage by gdm auto-login.
-* remove any syslog support from log.c
+* add a pam module that on password changes updates any LUKS slot where the password matches
-* convert /etc/bash_completion.d/ to /usr/share/bash-completion/
- (systemd (and everything else) should install zero static data in /etc)
+* maybe add a generator that looks for "systemd.run=" on the kernel cmdline for container usercases...
-* tmpfiles: when traversing the tree, check for bind mount points with nametohandle()
+* timedatctl, localectl: possibly make some commands work without the daemon, for chroot situations...
-* fedora: connect the timer units of a service to the service via Also= in [Install], and maybe introduce timers.target
+* logind: add Suspend() bus calls which take timestamps to fix double suspend issues when somebody hits suspend and closes laptop quickly.
-* fedora: F20: go timer units all the way, leave cron.daily for cron
+* we need dynamic units
+
+* add s.th. like "systemctl set-log-level debug"
+
+* cgtop: make cgtop useful in a container
+
+* test/:
+ - add 'set -e' to scripts in test/
+ - make stuff in test/ work with separate output dir
+ - remove all the duplicated code in test/
+
+* suppress log output on shutdown when "quiet" is used
+
+* systemctl delete x.snapshot leaves no trace in logs (at least at default level).
+
+* make the coredump collector tool move itself into the user's cgroup
+ so that the coredump is properly written to the user's own journal
+ file.
+
+* move /usr/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/modules.devname parsing from udevd to
+ kmod static-nodes
+ call kmod as an early service, and drop CAP_MKNOD from udevd.service
+
+* systemd-delta needs to be made aware of *.d/*.conf drop-in files for
+ units.
+
+* seems that when we follow symlinks to units we prefer the symlink
+ destination path over /etc and /usr. We shouldn't do that. Instead
+ /etc should always override /run+/usr and also any symlink
+ destination.
+
+* remove duplicate default deps logic from fstab-generator vs. mount.c
+
+* when isolating, try to figure out a way how we implicitly can order
+ all units we stop before the isolating unit...
+
+* teach udev + logind's uaccess to somehow handle the "dead" device nodes from:
+ /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/modules.devname
+ and apply ACLs to them if they have TAG=="uaccess" in udev rules.
+
+* add ConditionArchitecture= or so
+
+* teach ConditionKernelCommandLine= globs or regexes (in order to match foobar={no,0,off})
+
+* we should log capabilities too
+
+* Support SO_REUSEPORT with socket activation:
+ - Let systemd maintain a pool of servers.
+ - Use for seamless upgrades, by running the new server before stopping the
+ old.
+
+* after all byte-wise realloc() is slow, even on glibc, so i guess we
+ need manual exponential loops after all
+
+* BootLoaderSpec: drop allowing ext234 for $BOOT. Clarify that the
+ kernel has to be in $BOOT. Clarify that the boot loader should be
+ installed to the ESP. Define a way how an installer can figure out
+ whether a BLS compliant boot loader is installed.
+
+* man: remove .include documentation, and instead push people to use .d/*.conf
+
+* think about requeuing jobs when daemon-reload is issued? usecase:
+ the initrd issues a reload after fstab from the host is accessible
+ and we might want to requeue the mounts local-fs acquired through
+ that automatically.
+
+* rework specifier logic so that we can distuingish OOM errors from other errors
+
+* systemd-inhibit: make taking delay locks useful: support sending SIGINT or SIGTERM on PrepareForSleep()
+
+* journal-or-kmsg is currently broken? See reverted commit 4a01181e460686d8b4a543b1dfa7f77c9e3c5ab8.
+
+* remove any syslog support from log.c -- we probably can't do this before split-off udev is gone for good
+
+* documentation: recommend to connect the timer units of a service to the service via Also= in [Install]
* add a tool that lists active timer units plus their next elapstion and the time the units ran last
* man: add a link to socket activation blog from systemd.socket(5)
-* systemctl status: show drop-in snippets for service files in addition to service file path themesevles.
-
* man: add more examples to man pages
* man: maybe sort directives in man pages, and take sections from --help and apply them to man too
-* man: systemctl: clarify that -p applies to "systemctl show" only
-
-* add "# export SYSTEMD_PAGER=" to bash login
-
-* /usr/bin/service should actually show the new command line
-
-* fedora: suggest auto-restart on failure, but not on sucess and not on coredump. also, ask people to think about changing the start limit logic. Also point people to RestartPreventExitStatus=, SuccessExitStatus=
-
* write UI tool that pops up emergency messages from the journal as notification
* think about window-manager-run-as-user-service problem: exit 0 → activate shutdown.target; exit != 0 → restart service
name for the entries to de_DE if they aren't explicitly suffixed
individually.
-* figure out what we do about hostnames/fqdn in hostnamectl/hostnamed
-
* use "log level" rather than "log priority" everywhere
-* unit_name_mangle() is currently not used on "systemctl enable" and friends, only on "systemctl start"
-
-* ensure sd_journal_seek_monotonic actually works properly.
-
* timedate: have global on/off switches for auto-time (NTP), and auto-timezone that connman can subscribe to.
-* support --root= in msgcatalog compiler
-
* Honour "-" prefix for InaccessibleDirectories= and ReadOnlyDirectories= to
suppress errors of the specified path doesn't exist
so that libudev reports them as present, and systemd's .device units
will be activated.
-* merge service_kill() logic into unit_kill_context() and unify the code paths
+* merge unit_kill_common() and unit_kill_context()
* introduce ExecCondition= in services
- logind: spawn user@..service on login
- logind: non-local X11 server handling
- logind: add equivalent to sd_pid_get_owner_uid() to the D-Bus API
- - pam_systemd: try to get old session id from cgroup, if audit sessionid cannot be determined
- pam: when leaving a session explicitly exclude the ReleaseSession() caller process from the killing spree
- logind: GetSessionByPID() should accept 0 as PID value
+ - we should probably handle SIGTERM/SIGINT to not leave dot files around, just in case
+ - add configuration/switches to use
+ freeze (http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git) and
+ standby (https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=57793) as suspend modes
* exec: when deinitializating a tty device fix the perms and group, too, not only when initializing. Set access mode/gid to 0620/tty.
* service: watchdog logic: for testing purposes allow ping, but do not require pong
* journal:
+ - do not use magic msync() in src/journal/journal-file.c, just call fsync()
+ <alxchk> poettering: looks like msync just calls vfs_fsync
+ http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/mm/msync.c#n18

- - journal: when we haven't written anything in a while, sync to disk and mark file as offline, in order to be more often than not in a clean state
- 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

* timedated:
- - timedated: export boolean that clarifies whether NTP is even available
- 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

* move debug shell to tty6 and make sure this doesn't break the gettys on tty6
- syscall filter: port to libseccomp
- system-wide seccomp filter
-* systemd-analyze: data collection tools should be lightweight (few dependencies); data analysis tools can be heavyweight
-
* .device aliases need to be implemented with the "following" logic, probably.
* load-fragment: when loading a unit file via a chain of symlinks
* introduce Type=pid-file
-* maybe allow services with ExecStop= set, but no ExecStart=?
