3 * Should systemctl status \* work on all unit types, not just .service?
5 * Dangling symlinks of .automount unit files in .wants/ directories, set up
6 automount points even when the original .automount file did not exist
7 anymore. Only the .mount unit was still around.
9 * ExecStart with unicode characters fails in strv_split_quoted:
12 Environment=ONE='one' "TWO='two two' too" THREE=
13 ExecStart=/bin/python3 -c 'import sys;print(sys.argv)' $ONE $TWO $THREE
15 * MEMORY return code is overloaded for syntax errors in the command line.
16 str_split_quoted() should return a real return code, so spawn_child can
17 report the failure properly.
21 * Fedora: add an rpmlint check that verifies that all unit files in the RPM are listed in %systemd_post macros.
23 * Fedora: move kernel image to /usr/lib/modules/, kernel-install will take care of populating /boot
25 * Fedora: remove /etc/resolv.conf tmpfiles hack
27 * wiki: update journal format documentation for lz4 additions
29 * When lz4 gets an API for lz4 command output, make use of it to
30 compress coredumps in a way compatible with /usr/bin/lz4.
32 Release 219 preparations:
34 * support mbr raw disk images in systemd-nspawn, so that we can boot
35 fedora cloud images unmodified (change suffix for search for files
38 * dkr import hash verification
40 * rework journald sigbus stuff to use mutex
42 * create importd daemon, move "systemd-import" tool into machinectl
44 * change default container location from /var/lib/container to /var/lib/machines
46 * merge input_id and evdev_id into generic input_id
50 * bus-proxy: reload policy when PID 1 reports a reload
52 * the dbus1 connection user id is actually the euid, not the uid, and creds should return that
54 * add minimal NAT logic to networkd and nspawn. The former should be a simple NAT=yes|no|ipv4|ipv6 and expose a network on all other interfaces as NAT. The latter should get a "--port=" switch or so, which forwards one host port onto the container
56 * introduce systemd-nspawn-ephemeral@.service, and hook it into "machinectl start" with a new --ephemeral switch
58 * nspawn should lock container images while running off them
60 * logind,machined: add generic catch-all polkit verbs for most priviliged operations, similar to systemd itself
62 * "machinectl status" should also show internal logs of the container in question
64 * nspawn: don't change superblock mount options from nspawn for cgroup hierarchies
66 * "machinectl list-images" should show os-release data, as well as machine-info data (including deployment level)
68 * nspawn: when start a container "foobar" look for its configuration in a file "foobar.nspawn" in /etc/systemd/nspawn/ as well as next to the actualy directory or image to boot
70 * Port various tools to make use of verbs.[ch], where applicable
72 * Check all invocations of access() and consider turning them into laccess()
74 * "machinectl history"
78 * "machinectl commit" that takes a writable snapshot of a tree, invokes a shell in it, and marks it read-only after use
80 * "machinectl status" should show 10 most recent log lines of both the host logs of the unit of the machine, plus the logs generated in the machine
82 * add transparent btrfs pool in a loopback file in /var if btrfs operations (such as systemd-import pull-dkr) are used and /var is not a btrfs file system
84 * systemd-nspawn -x should support ephemeral instances of gpt images
86 * move machinectl's mount and copy commands into machined
88 * hostnamectl: show root image uuid
90 * sysfs set api in libudev is not const
92 * Find a solution for SMACK capabilities stuff:
93 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-December/026188.html
95 * port libmount hookup to use API's own inotify interface, as soon as that is table in libmount
97 * "systemctl preset-all" should probably order the unit files it
98 operates on lexicographically before starting to work, in order to
99 ensure deterministic behaviour if two unit files conflict (like DMs
102 * resolved should optionally register additional per-interface LLMNR
103 names, so that for the container case we can establish the same name
104 (maybe "host") for referencing the server, everywhere.
106 * systemd-journal-upload (or a new, related tool): allow pushing out
107 journal messages onto the network in BSD syslog protocol,
108 continuously. Default to some link-local IP mcast group, to make this
109 useful as a one-stop debugging tool.
111 * synchronize console access with BSD locks:
112 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-October/024582.html
114 * as soon as we have kdbus, and sender timestamps, revisit coalescing multiple parallel daemon reloads:
115 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-December/025862.html
117 * set $REMOTE_IP (or $REMOTE_ADDR/$REMOTE_PORT) environment variable when doing per-connection socket activation. use format introduced by xinetd or CGI for this
119 * the install state probably shouldn't get confused by generated units, think dbus1/kdbus compat!
121 * in systemctl list-unit-files: show the install value the presets would suggest for a service in a third column
123 * we should try harder to collapse start jobs for swaps that end up being the same:
124 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-November/025359.html
126 * timedated should compensate on SetTime for the time spent in polkit
128 * figure out when we can use the coarse timers
130 * sd-resolve: drop res_query wrapping, people should call via the bus to resolved instead
132 * add "systemctl start -v foobar.service" that shows logs of a service
133 while the start command runs. This is non-trivial to do without
134 races though, since we should flush out all journal messages before
135 returning from the "systemctl stop".
137 * firstboot: make it useful to be run immediately after yum --installroot to set up a machine. (most specifically, make --copy-root-password work even if /etc/passwd already exists
139 * timesyncd + resolved: add ugly bus calls to set NTP and DNS servers per-interface, for usage by NM
141 * networkd-wait-online really should have a timeout by default
143 * add infrastructure to allocate dynamic/transient users and UID ranges, for use in user-namespaced containers, per-seat gdm login screens and gdm guest sessions
145 * machined: add an API so that libvirt-lxc can inform us about network interfaces being removed or added to an existing machine
147 * maybe add support for specifier expansion in user.conf, specifically DefaultEnvironment=
149 * code cleanup: retire FOREACH_WORD_QUOTED, port to unquote_first_word() loops instead
151 * introduce systemd-timesync-wait.service or so to sync on an NTP fix?
153 * systemd --user should issue sd_notify() upon reaching basic.target, not on becoming idle
155 * consider showing the unit names during boot up in the status output, not just the unit descriptions
157 * dhcp: do we allow configuring dhcp routes on interfaces that are not the one we got the dhcp info from?
159 * maybe allow timer units with an empty Units= setting, so that they
160 can be used for resuming the system but nothing else.
162 * what to do about udev db binary stability for apps? (raw access is not an option)
164 * maybe provide an API to allow migration of foreign PIDs into existing scopes.
166 * maybe support a new very "soft" reboot mode, that simply kills all processes, disassembles everything, flushes /run and sysvipc, and then reexecs systemd again
168 * man: document that corrupted journal files is nothing to act on
170 * man: maybe use the word "inspect" rather than "introspect"?
172 * "machinectl list" should probably show columns for OS version and IP addresses
174 * systemctl: if some operation fails, show log output?
177 - allow creation of units from scratch
178 - use equvalent of cat() to insert existing config as a comment, prepended with #.
179 Upon editor exit, lines with one # are removed, lines with two # are left with one #, etc.
181 * refcounting in sd-resolve is borked
183 * exponential backoff in timesyncd and resolved when we cannot reach a server
185 * tmpfiles: port to unquote_many_words(), similar to sysusers
187 * unquote_many_words() should probably be used by a lot of code that
188 currently uses FOREACH_WORD and friends. For example, most conf
189 parsing callbacks should use it.
191 * merge ~/.local/share and ~/.local/lib into one similar /usr/lib and /usr/share....
193 * systemd.show_status= should probably have a mode where only failed
197 - add LLDP client side support
198 - the DHCP lease data (such as NTP/DNS) is still made available when
199 a carrier is lost on a link. It should be removed instantly.
200 - .network setting that allows overriding of the hostname to send to the dhcp server
201 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-July/021550.html
202 - expose in the API the following bits:
203 - option 15, domain name and/or option 119, search list
204 - option 12, host name and/or option 81, fqdn
205 - option 100, 101, timezone
206 - option 123, 144, geolocation
207 - option 252, configure http proxy (PAC/wpad)
208 - networkd's dhcp server should transparently pass on the DNS and
209 NTP server list it got from user configuration and its dhcp client
210 to clients. It should also pass on its own timezone information.
211 - provide a way to define a per-network interface default metric value
212 for all routes to it. possibly a second default for DHCP routes.
213 - allow Name= to be specified repeatedly in the [Match] section. Maybe also
214 support Name=foo*|bar*|baz ?
217 - put networkd events and rtnl events at a higher priority, so that
218 we always process them before we process client requests
220 - use base64 for key presentation?
221 - add display of private key types (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4034#appendix-A.1.1)?
222 - add nice formatting of DNS timestamps
227 - DNS-SD service registration from socket units
231 - maybe randomize DNS UDP source ports
232 - maybe compare query section of DNS replies
234 * Allow multiple ExecStart= for all Type= settings, so that we can cover rescue.service nicely
236 * Add a new verb "systemctl top"
238 * add new gpt type for btrfs volumes
240 * support empty /etc boots nicely:
241 - nspawn/gpt-generator: introduce new gpt partition type for /usr
242 - fstab-generator: support systemd.volatile=yes|no|state on the kernel cmdline, too, similar to nspawn's --volatile=
244 * generator that automatically discovers btrfs subvolumes, identifies their purpose based on some xattr on them.
246 * timer units: actually add extra delays to timer units with high AccuracySec values, don't start them already when we are awake...
248 * a way for container managers to turn off getty starting via $container_headless= or so...
250 * figure out a nice way how we can let the admin know what child/sibling unit causes cgroup membership for a specific unit
252 * mount_cgroup_controllers(): symlinks need to get the label applied
254 * For timer units: add some mechanisms so that timer units that trigger immediately on boot do not have the services
255 they run added to the initial transaction and thus confuse Type=idle.
257 * 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)
259 * sd-event: generate a failure of a default event loop is executed out-of-thread
261 * add bus api to query unit file's X fields.
263 * consider adding RuntimeDirectoryUser= + RuntimeDirectoryGroup=
265 * sd-event: define more intervals where we will shift wakeup intervals around in, 1h, 6h, 24h, ...
267 * gpt-auto-generator:
268 - Support LUKS for root devices
269 - Define new partition type for encrypted swap? Support probed LUKS for encrypted swap?
270 - Make /home automount rather than mount?
272 * add generator that pulls in systemd-network from containers when
273 CAP_NET_ADMIN is set, more than the loopback device is defined, even
274 when it is otherwise off
276 * MessageQueueMessageSize= and RLimitFSIZE= (and suchlike) should use parse_iec_size().
278 * "busctl status" works only as root on dbus1, since we cannot read
281 * implement Distribute= in socket units to allow running multiple
282 service instances processing the listening socket, and open this up
285 * socket units: support creating sockets in different namespace,
286 opening it up for JoinsNamespaceOf=. This would require to fork off
287 a tiny process that joins the namespace and creates/binds the socket
288 and passes this back to PID1 via SCM_RIGHTS. This also could be used
289 to allow Chown/chgrp on sockets without requiring NSS in PID 1.
291 * New service property: maximum CPU and wallclock runtime for a service
293 * introduce bus call FreezeUnit(s, b), as well as "systemctl freeze
294 $UNIT" and "systemctl thaw $UNIT" as wrappers around this. The calls
295 should SIGSTOP all unit processes in a loop until all processes of
296 it are fully stopped. This can later be used for app management by
297 desktop UIs such as gnome-shell to freeze apps that are not visible
298 on screen, not unlike how job control works on the shell
301 - manager property enumeration was broken when systemd moved to /usr/lib/
304 - implement per-slice CPUFairScheduling=1 switch
305 - handle jointly mounted controllers correctly
306 - introduce high-level settings for RT budget, swappiness
307 - how to reset dynamically changed unit cgroup attributes sanely?
308 - when reloading configuration, apply new cgroup configuration
309 - when recursively showing the cgroup hierarchy, optionally also show
310 the hierarchies of child processes
313 - allow creating auxiliary units with the same call
314 - add field to transient units that indicate whether systemd or somebody else saves/restores its settings, for integration with libvirt
315 - ensure scope units may be started only a single time
317 * Automatically configure swap partition to use for hibernation by looking for largest swap partition on the root disk?
319 * when we detect low battery and no AC on boot, show pretty splash and refuse boot
321 * machined, localed: when we try to kill an empty cgroup, generate an ESRCH error over the bus
323 * libsystemd-journal, libsystemd-login, libudev: add calls to easily attach these objects to sd-event event loops
325 * be more careful what we export on the bus as (usec_t) 0 and (usec_t) -1
327 * unify dispatch table in systemctl_main() and friends
329 * 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
331 * After coming back from hibernation reset hibernation swap partition using the /dev/snapshot ioctl APIs
333 * If we try to find a unit via a dangling symlink, generate a clean
334 error. Currently, we just ignore it and read the unit from the search
337 * refuse boot if /etc/os-release is missing or /etc/machine-id cannot be set up
339 * btrfs raid assembly: some .device jobs stay stuck in the queue
341 * make sure gdm does not use multi-user-x but the new default X configuration file, and then remove multi-user-x from systemd
343 * man: the documentation of Restart= currently is very misleading and suggests the tools from ExecStartPre= might get restarted.
345 * load .d/*.conf dropins for device units
347 * allow implementation of InaccessibleDirectories=/ plus
348 ReadOnlyDirectories=... for whitelisting files for a service.
351 - GetAllProperties() on a non-existing object does not result in a failure currently
352 - kdbus: process fd=-1 for incoming msgs
353 - make dsrt happy, and change userspace header for kdbus to yyyyuta{tv}v
354 - port to sd-resolve for connecting to TCP dbus servers
355 - kdbus: maybe add controlling tty metadata fields
356 - see if we can introduce a new sd_bus_get_owner_machine_id() call to retrieve the machine ID of the machine of the bus itself
357 - when kdbus does not take our message without memfds, try again with memfds
358 - see if we can drop more message validation on the sending side
359 - add API to clone sd_bus_message objects
360 - make AddMatch calls on dbus1 transports async?
361 - kdbus: matches against source or destination pids for an "strace -p"-like feel. Problem: The PID info needs to be available in userspace too...
362 - longer term: priority inheritance
365 - NameLost/NameAcquired obsolete
368 - update systemd.special(7) to mention that dbus.socket is only about the compatibility socket now
369 - test bloom filter generation indexes
370 - bus-proxy: when passing messages from kdbus, make sure we properly
371 handle the case where a large number of fds is appended that we
372 cannot pass into sendmsg() of the AF_UNIX sokcet (which only accepts
374 - kdbus: introduce a concept of "send-only" connections
375 - kdbus: add counter for refused unicast messages that is passed out via the RECV ioctl. SImilar to the counter for dropped multicast messages we already have.
378 - allow multiple signal handlers per signal?
379 - document chaining of signal handler for SIGCHLD and child handlers
381 * in the final killing spree, detect processes from the root directory, and
382 complain loudly if they have argv[0][0] == '@' set.
383 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=961044
385 * investigate endianness issues of UUID vs. GUID
387 * dbus: when a unit failed to load (i.e. is in UNIT_ERROR state), we
388 should be able to safely try another attempt when the bus call LoadUnit() is invoked.
390 * add a pam module that passes the hdd passphrase into the PAM stack and then expires it, for usage by gdm auto-login.
392 * add a pam module that on password changes updates any LUKS slot where the password matches
394 * maybe add a generator that looks for "systemd.run=" on the kernel cmdline for container usercases...
396 * cgtop: make cgtop useful in a container
399 - add 'set -e' to scripts in test/
400 - make stuff in test/ work with separate output dir
402 * seems that when we follow symlinks to units we prefer the symlink
403 destination path over /etc and /usr. We should not do that. Instead
404 /etc should always override /run+/usr and also any symlink
407 * when isolating, try to figure out a way how we implicitly can order
408 all units we stop before the isolating unit...
410 * teach ConditionKernelCommandLine= globs or regexes (in order to match foobar={no,0,off})
412 * after all byte-wise realloc() is slow, even on glibc, so i guess we
413 need manual exponential loops after all
415 * BootLoaderSpec: Clarify that the kernel has to be in $BOOT. Clarify
416 that the boot loader should be installed to the ESP. Define a way
417 how an installer can figure out whether a BLS compliant boot loader
420 * think about requeuing jobs when daemon-reload is issued? usecase:
421 the initrd issues a reload after fstab from the host is accessible
422 and we might want to requeue the mounts local-fs acquired through
425 * systemd-inhibit: make taking delay locks useful: support sending SIGINT or SIGTERM on PrepareForSleep()
427 * journal-or-kmsg is currently broken? See reverted commit 4a01181e460686d8b4a543b1dfa7f77c9e3c5ab8.
429 * remove any syslog support from log.c -- we probably cannot do this before split-off udev is gone for good
431 * shutdown logging: store to EFI var, and store to USB stick?
433 * write UI tool that pops up emergency messages from the journal as notification
435 * think about window-manager-run-as-user-service problem: exit 0 → activate shutdown.target; exit != 0 → restart service
437 * merge unit_kill_common() and unit_kill_context()
439 * introduce ExecCondition= in services
442 - honor language efi variables for default language selection (if there are any?)
443 - honor timezone efi variables for default timezone selection (if there are any?)
444 - change bootctl to be backed by systemd-bootd to control temporary and persistent default boot goal plus efi variables
446 * maybe do not install getty@tty1.service symlink in /etc but in /usr?
448 * re-enable "make check" for gtk-doc (broken for unknown reason)
450 * fstab: add new mount option x-systemd-after=/foobar/waldo to allow manual dependencies to other mount points
451 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=812826
453 * print a nicer explanation if people use variable/specifier expansion in ExecStart= for the first word
455 * mount: turn dependency information from /proc/self/mountinfo into dependency information between systemd units.
458 - logind: optionally, ignore idle-hint logic for autosuspend, block suspend as long as a session is around
459 - When we update the kernel all kind of hibernation should be prohibited until shutdown/reboot
460 - logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
461 - Add pretty name for seats in logind
462 - logind: allow showing logout dialog from system?
463 - we should probably handle SIGTERM/SIGINT to not leave dot files around, just in case
464 - session scopes/user unit: add RequiresMountsFor for the home directory of the user
465 - add Suspend() bus calls which take timestamps to fix double suspend issues when somebody hits suspend and closes laptop quickly.
466 - if pam_systemd is invoked by su from a process that is outside of a
467 any session we should probably just become a NOP, since that's
468 usually not a real user session but just some system code that just
470 - logind: make the Suspend()/Hibernate() bus calls wait for the for
471 the job to be completed. before returning, so that clients can wait
472 for "systemctl suspend" to finish to know when the suspending is
474 - logind: when the power button is pressed short, just popup a
475 logout dialog. If it is pressed for 1s, do the usual
476 shutdown. Inspiration are Macs here.
477 - logind: allow users to kill or lock their own sessions
478 - expose "Locked" property on logind sesison objects
479 - given that logind now lets PID 1 do all nasty work, we can
480 probably reduce the capability set it retains substantially.
481 (we need CAP_SYS_ADMIN for drmSetMaster(), so maybe not worth it)
482 - expose orientation sensors and tablet mode through logind
484 * exec: when deinitializating a tty device fix the perms and group, too, not only when initializing. Set access mode/gid to 0620/tty.
486 * service: watchdog logic: for testing purposes allow ping, but do not require pong
489 - consider introducing implicit _TTY= + _PPID= + _EUID= + _EGID= + _FSUID= + _FSGID= fields
490 - import and delete pstore filesystem content at startup
491 - journald: also get thread ID from client, plus thread name
492 - journal: when waiting for journal additions in the client always sleep at least 1s or so, in order to minimize wakeups
493 - add API to close/reopen/get fd for journal client fd in libsystemd-journal.
494 - fallback to /dev/log based logging in libsystemd-journal, if we cannot log natively?
495 - declare the local journal protocol stable in the wiki interface chart
496 - journal: reuse XZ context
497 - sd-journal: speed up sd_journal_get_data() with transparent hash table in bg
498 - journald: when dropping msgs due to ratelimit make sure to write
499 "dropped %u messages" not only when we are about to print the next
500 message that works, but alraedy after a short tiemout
501 - check if we can make journalctl by default use --follow mode inside of less if called without args?
502 - maybe add API to send pairs of iovecs via sd_journal_send
503 - journal: when writing journal auto-rotate if time jumps backwards
504 - journal: add a setgid "systemd-journal" utility to invoke from libsystemd-journal, which passes fds via STDOUT and does PK access
505 - journactl: support negative filtering, i.e. FOOBAR!="waldo",
506 and !FOOBAR for events without FOOBAR.
507 - journal: send out marker messages every now and then, and immediately sync with fdatasync() afterwards, in order to have hourly guaranteed syncs.
508 - 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.
509 - journal: find a way to allow dropping history early, based on priority, other rules
510 - journal: When used on NFS, check payload hashes
511 - journal live copy, based on libneon (client) and libmicrohttpd (server)
512 - journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
513 - refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
514 - journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
515 - journal: deal nicely with byte-by-byte copied files, especially regards header
516 - journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the components would fit
517 - Replace utmp, wtmp, btmp, and lastlog completely with journal
518 - journalctl: instead --after-cursor= maybe have a --cursor=XYZ+1 syntax?
519 - when a kernel driver logs in a tight loop, we should ratelimit that too.
520 - journald: optionally, log debug messages to /run but everything else to /var
521 - journald: when we drop syslog messages because the syslog socket is
522 full, make sure to write how many messages are lost as first thing
523 to syslog when it works again.
524 - journald: make sure ratelimit is actually really per-service with the new cgroup changes
525 - change systemd-journal-flush into a service that stays around during
526 boot, and causes the journal to be moved back to /run on shutdown,
527 so that we do not keep /var busy. This needs to happen synchronously,
528 hence doing this via signals is not going to work.
529 - optionally support running journald from the command line for testing purposes in external projects
530 - journald: allow per-priority and per-service retention times when rotating/vacuuming
531 - journald: make use of uid-range.h to managed uid ranges to split
533 - journalctl: add the ability to look for the most recent process of a binary. journalctl /usr/bin/X11 --pid=-1 or so...
534 - improve journalctl performance by loading journal files
535 lazily. Encode just enough information in the file name, so that we
536 do not have to open it to know that it is not interesting for us, for
537 the most common operations.
540 - document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fields in
541 [Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
542 - man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
543 - document the exit codes when services fail before they are exec()ed
544 - document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
545 - document in wiki how to map ical recurrence events to systemd timer unit calendar specifications
546 - add a man page containing packaging guidelines and recommending usage of things like Documentation=, PrivateTmp=, PrivateNetwork= and ReadOnlyDirectories=/etc /usr.
547 - document systemd-journal-flush.service properly
548 - documentation: recommend to connect the timer units of a service to the service via Also= in [Install]
549 - man: document the very specific env the shutdown drop-in tools live in
550 - man: extend runlevel(8) to mention that runlevels suck, and are dead. Maybe add runlevel(7) with a note about that too
551 - man: add more examples to man pages
552 - man: maybe sort directives in man pages, and take sections from --help and apply them to man too
555 - systemctl list-jobs - show dependencies
556 - add systemctl switch to dump transaction without executing it
557 - Add a verbose mode to "systemctl start" and friends that explains what is being done or not done
558 - "systemctl disable" on a static unit prints no message and does
559 nothing. "systemctl enable" does nothing, and gives a bad message
560 about it. Should fix both to print nice actionable messages.
561 - print nice message from systemctl --failed if there are no entries shown, and hook that into ExecStartPre of rescue.service/emergency.service
562 - add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
563 - systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into does not exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
564 - systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
565 - support "systemctl stop foobar@.service" to stop all units matching a certain template
566 - Something is wrong with symlink handling of "autovt@.service" in "systemctl list-unit-files"
567 - better error message if you run systemctl without systemd running
568 - systemctl status output should should include list of triggering units and their status
571 - "systemctl mask" should find all names by which a unit is accessible
572 (i.e. by scanning for symlinks to it) and link them all to /dev/null
573 - systemctl list-unit-files should list generated files (and probably with a new state "generated" for them, or so)
576 - timer units should get the ability to trigger when:
577 o CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (TFD_TIMER_CANCEL_ON_SET)
579 - Support 2012-02~4 as syntax for specifying the fourth to last day of the month.
580 - calendarspec: support value ranges with ".." notation. Example: 2013-4..8-1
581 - when parsing calendar timestamps support the UTC timezone (even if we will not support arbitrary timezone specs, support UTC itself certainly makes sense), also support syntaxes such as +0200
582 - Modulate timer frequency based on battery state
584 * add libsystemd-password or so to query passwords during boot using the password agent logic
586 * If we show an error about a unit (such as not showing up) and it has no Description string, then show a description string generated form the reverse of unit_name_mangle().
588 * fedup: add --unit to systemctl switch-root somehow
589 * fedup: do not delete initrd on switch-root
592 * clean up date formatting and parsing so that all absolute/relative timestamps we format can also be parsed
594 * on shutdown: move utmp, wall, audit logic all into PID 1 (or logind?), get rid of systemd-update-utmp-runlevel
596 * make repeated alt-ctrl-del presses printing a dump, or even force a reboot without
597 waiting for the timeout
599 * hostnamed: before returning information from /etc/machine-info.conf check the modification data and reread. Similar for localed, ...
601 * currently x-systemd.timeout is lost in the initrd, since crypttab is copied into dracut, but fstab is not
604 - refuses to boot containers without /etc/machine-id (OK?), and with empty /etc/machine-id (not OK).
607 - cryptsetup-generator: allow specification of passwords in crypttab itself
608 - move cryptsetup key caching into kernel keyctl?
609 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54982
610 - support rd.luks.allow-discards= kernel cmdline params in cryptsetup generator
612 * hw watchdog: optionally try to use the preset watchdog timeout instead of always overriding it
613 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54712
615 * after deserializing sockets in socket.c we should reapply sockopts and things
617 * make timer units go away after they elapsed
619 * move PID 1 segfaults to /var/lib/systemd/coredump?
621 * create /sbin/init symlinks from the build system
623 * allow writing multiple conditions in unit files on one line
625 * MountFlags=shared acts as MountFlags=slave right now.
627 * drop PID 1 reloading, only do reexecing (difficult: Reload()
628 currently is properly synchronous, Reexec() is weird, because we
629 cannot delay the response properly until we are back, so instead of
630 being properly synchronous we just keep open the fd and close it
631 when done. That means clients do not get a successful method reply,
632 but much rather a disconnect on success.
634 * properly handle loop back mounts via fstab, especially regards to fsck/passno
636 * initialize the hostname from the fs label of /, if /etc/hostname does not exist?
638 * rename "userspace" to "core-os"
640 * load-fragment: when loading a unit file via a chain of symlinks
641 verify that it is not masked via any of the names traversed.
643 * introduce Type=pid-file
645 * change Requires=basic.target to RequisiteOverride=basic.target
647 * when breaking cycles drop sysv services first, then services from /run, then from /etc, then from /usr
649 * automount: implement expire:
650 - set superblock timeout AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_TIMEOUT_CMD
651 - periodically run AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_EXPIRE_CMD
652 - every timeout/4 (original autofs logic)
653 - blocking, needs a thread
655 - receive expire packet on pipe if kernel tells the timeout is over
657 - answer expire packet on pipe with AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_{READY,FAIL}_CMD
658 - AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_EXPIRE_CMD returns
660 * ExecOnFailure=/usr/bin/foo
665 - add trigger --subsystem-match=usb/usb_device device
666 - reimport udev db after MOVE events for devices without dev_t
668 * 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
670 * introduce mix of BindTo and Requisite
672 * There's currently no way to cancel fsck (used to be possible via C-c or c on the console)
674 * add option to sockets to avoid activation. Instead just drop packets/connections, see http://cyberelk.net/tim/2012/02/15/portreserve-systemd-solution/
676 * default unix qlen is too small (10). bump sysctl? add sockopt?
678 * save coredump in Windows/Mozilla minidump format
680 * support crash reporting operation modes (https://live.gnome.org/GnomeOS/Design/Whiteboards/ProblemReporting)
682 * default to actual 32-bit PIDs, via /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max
684 * be able to specify a forced restart of service A where service B depends on, in case B
685 needs to be auto-respawned?
687 * when a bus name of a service disappears from the bus make sure to queue further activation requests
690 - apply "x" on "D" too (see patch from William Douglas)
692 * for services: do not set $HOME in services unless requested
694 * hide PAM options in fragment parser when compile time disabled
696 * when we automatically restart a service, ensure we restart its rdeps, too.
698 * allow Type=simple with PIDFile=
699 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=723942
701 * move PAM code into its own binary
703 * implement Register= switch in .socket units to enable registration
704 in Avahi, RPC and other socket registration services.
706 * make sure systemd-ask-password-wall does not shutdown systemd-ask-password-console too early
708 * add ReloadSignal= for configuring a reload signal to use
710 * verify that the AF_UNIX sockets of a service in the fs still exist
711 when we start a service in order to avoid confusion when a user
712 assumes starting a service is enough to make it accessible
714 * Make it possible to set the keymap independently from the font on
715 the kernel cmdline. Right now setting one resets also the other.
717 * and a dbus call to generate target from current state
719 * GC unreferenced jobs (such as .device jobs)
721 * write blog stories about:
722 - hwdb: what belongs into it, lsusb

739 - hooking a script into various stages of shutdown/rearly booot
741 * allow port=0 in .socket units
743 * recreate systemd's D-Bus private socket file on SIGUSR2
745 * Support --test based on current system state
747 * investigate whether the gnome pty helper should be moved into systemd, to provide cgroup support.
749 * maybe introduce ExecRestartPre=
751 * dot output for --test showing the 'initial transaction'
753 * fingerprint.target, wireless.target, gps.target, netdevice.target
756 - figure out a simple way to wait for journal events in a way that
758 - add documentation to systemd.daemon
761 - plot per-process IO utilization
762 - group processes based on service association (cgroups)

764 - kernel cmdline "bootchart" option for simplicity?
767 - Make sure ID_PATH is always exported and complete for
768 network devices where possible, so we can safely rely
770 - check MTUBytes parsing (expecting size_t but we are using unsigned)
773 - add support for more attribute types
774 - inbuilt piping support (essentially degenerate async)? see loopback-setup.c and other places
777 - add more keys to [Route] and [Address] sections
778 - add support for more DHCPv4 options (and, longer term, other kinds of dynamic config)
779 - add proper initrd support (in particular generate .network/.link files based on /proc/cmdline)

785 - add support for more bond options
787 * networkd-wait-online:
788 - make operstates to wait for configurable?
791 - figure out how much we can increase Maximum Message Size
792 - export timezone information
793 - support RFC4702 (pass FQDN)
796 - add functions to set previously stored IPv6 addresses on startup and get
797 them at shutdown; store them in client->ia_na
798 - write more test cases
799 - implement and do duplicate address detection, see rfc 4862, 5.4.
800 - implement reconfigure support, see 5.3., 15.11. and 22.20.
801 - implement information request, see 1.2. and 18.1.5.
802 - implement support for temporary adressess (IA_TA)
803 - implement dhcpv6 authentication
804 - investigate the usefulness of Confirm messages; i.e. are there any
805 situations where the link changes without any loss in carrier detection
807 - some servers don't do rapid commit without a filled in IA_NA, verify
813 - natively watch for dbus-*.service symlinks (PENDING)
814 - teach dbus to activate all services it finds in /etc/systemd/services/org-*.service
816 * fix alsa mixer restore to not print error when no config is stored
818 * make cryptsetup lower --iter-time
820 * patch kernel for xattr support in /dev, /proc/, /sys?
822 * kernel: add device_type = "fb", "fbcon" to class "graphics"
824 * drop accountsservice's StandardOutput=syslog and Type=dbus fields
826 * dbus upstream still refers to dbus.target and should not
828 * dbus: in fedora, make /var/lib/dbus/machine-id a symlink to /etc/machine-id
830 * add "# export SYSTEMD_PAGER=" to bash login
832 * /usr/bin/service should actually show the new command line
834 * fedora: suggest auto-restart on failure, but not on success and not on coredump. also, ask people to think about changing the start limit logic. Also point people to RestartPreventExitStatus=, SuccessExitStatus=
836 * fedora: F20: go timer units all the way, leave cron.daily for cron
838 * neither pkexec nor sudo initialize environ[] from the PAM environment?
840 * fedora: update policy to declare access mode and ownership of unit files to root:root 0644, and add an rpmlint check for it
842 * register catalog database signature as file magic
844 * zsh shell completion:
845 - <command> <verb> -<TAB> should complete options, but currently does not
846 - systemctl add-wants,add-requires
851 * look for close() vs. close_nointr() vs. close_nointr_nofail()
853 * check for strerror(r) instead of strerror(-r)
855 * Use PR_SET_PROCTITLE_AREA if it becomes available in the kernel
859 * set_put(), hashmap_put() return values check. i.e. == 0 does not free()!
861 * use secure_getenv() instead of getenv() where appropriate
863 * link up selected blog stories from man pages and unit files Documentation= fields
865 Scheduled for removal or fixing:
867 * xxxOverridable dependencies (probably: fix)
