2 * Should systemctl status \* work on all unit types, not just .service?
4 * enabling an instance unit creates a pointless link, and
5 the unit will be started with getty@getty.service:
6 $ systemctl enable getty@.service
7 ln -s '/usr/lib/systemd/system/getty@.service' '/etc/systemd/system/getty.target.wants/getty@.service'
9 * Dangling symlinks of .automount unit files in .wants/ directories, set up
10 automount points even when the original .automount file did not exist
11 anymore. Only the .mount unit was still around.
13 * properly handle .mount unit state tracking when two mount points are stacked one on top of another on the exact same mount point.
15 * shorten the message to sane length:
17 Cannot add dependency job for unit display-manager.service, ignoring: Unit display-manager.service failed to load: No such file or directory. See system logs and 'systemctl status display-manager.service' for details.
19 * systemctl --root=container/ set-default ... is totally borked.
21 * sd_bus_unref() is broken regarding self-references and "pseudo thread-safety".
22 See the comment in sd_bus_unref() for more..
26 * Fedora: when installing fedora with yum --installroot /var/run is a directory, not a symlink
27 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=975864
29 * Fedora: add an rpmlint check that verifies that all unit files in the RPM are listed in %systemd_post macros.
31 * Fedora: post FPC ticket to move add %tmpfiles_create to the packaging guidelines
35 * journalctl: add the ability to look for the most recent process of a binary. journalctl /usr/bin/X11 --pid=-1 or so...
37 * set NOTIFY_SOCKET also for control processes
39 * drop parsing of chkconfig header lines from service.c
41 * mount_cgroup_controllers(): symlinks need to get the label applied
43 * For timer units: add some mechanisms so that timer units that trigger immediately on boot don't have the services they run added to the initial transaction and thus confuse Type=idle. Alternatively, split up the boot-up state into two, and make Type=idle only be affected by jobs for the default target, but ignore any further jobs
45 * Add RPM macros for registering/unregistering binfmt drop-ins
47 * 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
49 * sd-resolve: add callback api
51 * ImmutableSystem=yes/no or so to mount /usr, /boot read-only/invisible, and leave /var and /etc writable
53 * InaccessibleHome=yes/no or so to hide /home and /run/user from a service
55 * Run most system services with cgroupfs read-only and procfs with a more secure mode
57 * sd-event: generate a failure of a default event loop is executed out-of-thread
59 * add "M" as recursive version of "m" to tmpfiles, then use it for
60 chowning /run/log/journal (but not /var/log/journal), so that we
61 adjust the perms of journal files created before tmpfiles ran.
63 * expose "Locked" property on logind sesison objects
65 * add bus api to query unit file's X fields.
67 * consider adding RuntimeDirectoryUser= + RuntimeDirectoryGroup=
69 * sd-event: define more intervals where we will shift wakeup intervals around in, 1h, 6h, 24h, ...
72 - Support LUKS for root devices
73 - Define new partition type for encrypted swap? Support probed LUKS for encrypted swap?
74 - Make /home automount rather than mount?
76 * improve journalctl performance by loading journal files
77 lazily. Encode just enough information in the file name, so that we
78 don't have to open it to know that it is not interesting for us, for
79 the most common operations.
81 * support transient mount units
83 * add an "input" group to udev logic and add all input devices to it
85 * machined: provide calls GetMachineByAddress() on the manager
86 interface to get the machine for a local IP address, and
87 GetAddress() on the Machine interface to get the Address for a
88 machine. Implement via forking off child process which quickly joins
89 the cotnainer and passes data to parent. Show this in "machinectl
90 status", and use it to implement NSS module to provide automatic
91 name resolution for containers.
93 * add generator that pulls in systemd-network from containers when
94 CAP_NET_ADMIN is set, more than the loopback device is defined, even
95 when it is otherwise off
97 * MessageQueueMessageSize= and RLimitFSIZE= (and suchlike) should use parse_iec_size().
99 * "busctl status" works only as root on dbus1, since we cannot read
102 * implement Distribute= in socket units to allow running multiple
103 service instances processing the listening socket, and open this up
106 * socket units: support creating sockets in different namespace,
107 opening it up for JoinsNamespaceOf=. This would require to fork off
108 a tiny process that joins the namespace and creates/binds the socket
109 and passes this back to PID1 via SCM_RIGHTS. This also could be used
110 to allow Chown/chgrp on sockets without requiring NSS in PID 1.
112 * New service property: maximum CPU and wallclock runtime for a service
114 * introduce bus call FreezeUnit(s, b), as well as "systemctl freeze
115 $UNIT" and "systemctl thaw $UNIT" as wrappers around this. The calls
116 should SIGSTOP all unit processes in a loop until all processes of
117 it are fully stopped. This can later be used for app management by
118 desktop UIs such as gnome-shell to freeze apps that are not visible
119 on screen, not unlike how job control works on the shell
122 - manager property enumeration was broken when systemd moved to /usr/lib/
125 - implement per-slice CPUFairScheduling=1 switch
126 - handle jointly mounted controllers correctly
127 - introduce high-level settings for RT budget, swappiness
128 - how to reset dynamically changed unit cgroup attributes sanely?
129 - when reloading configuration, apply new cgroup configuration
130 - when recursively showing the cgroup hierarchy, optionally also show
131 the hierarchies of child processes
134 - allow creating auxiliary units with the same call
135 - add field to transient units that indicate whether systemd or somebody else saves/restores its settings, for integration with libvirt
136 - ensure scope units may be started only a single time
138 * Automatically configure swap partition to use for hibernation by looking for largest swap partition on the root disk?
140 * when we detect low battery and no AC on boot, show pretty splash and refuse boot
142 * machined, localed: when we try to kill an empty cgroup, generate an ESRCH error over the bus
144 * libsystemd-journal, libsystemd-login, libudev: add calls to easily attach these objects to sd-event event loops
146 * be more careful what we export on the bus as (usec_t) 0 and (usec_t) -1
148 * unify dispatch table in systemctl_main() and friends
150 * Automatically configure swap partition to use for hibernation by looking for largest swap partition on the root disk?
152 * socket-proxyd: Use sd-resolve to resolve the server address
154 * 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
156 * After coming back from hibernation reset hibernation swap partition using the /dev/snapshot ioctl APIs
158 * If we try to find a unit via a dangling symlink, generate a clean
159 error. Currently, we just ignore it and read the unit from the search
162 * refuse boot if /etc/os-release is missing or /etc/machine-id cannot be set up
164 * given that logind now lets PID 1 do all nasty work, we can
165 probably reduce the capability set it retains substantially.
166 (we need CAP_SYS_ADMIN for drmSetMaster(), so maybe not worth it)
168 * btrfs raid assembly: some .device jobs stay stuck in the queue
170 * make sure gdm doesn't use multi-user-x but the new default X configuration file, and then remove multi-user-x from systemd
172 * man: the documentation of Restart= currently is very misleading and suggests the tools from ExecStartPre= might get restarted.
174 * load .d/*.conf dropins for device units
176 * gparted needs to disable auto-activation of mount units somehow, or
177 maybe we should stop doing auto-activation of this after boot
178 entirely. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=701676
179 Maybe take a BSD lock at the disk device node and teach udev to
180 check for that and suppress event handling.
182 * allow implementation of InaccessibleDirectories=/ plus
183 ReadOnlyDirectories=... for whitelisting files for a service.
186 - make AddMatch calls on dbus1 transports async
187 - when kdbus doesn't take our message without memfds, try again with memfds
188 - systemd-bus-proxyd needs to enforce good old XML policy
189 - port exit-on-idle logic to byebye ioctl
190 - allow updating attach flags during runtime
191 - pid1: peek into activating message when activating a service
192 - introduce sd_bus_emit_object_added()/sd_bus_emit_object_removed() that automatically includes the build-in interfaces in the list
193 - constructors for bus messages should probably not be OK with a NULL bus pointer
194 - .busname units should not use get_user_creds()/get_cgroup_creds() but instead do NSS only in temporarily forked off child
195 - see if we can drop more message validation on the sending side
196 - add API to clone sd_bus_message objects
197 - kdbus: matches against source or destination pids for an "strace -p"-like feel. Problem: The PID info needs to be available in userspace too...
198 - longer term: priority inheritance
201 - NameLost/NameAcquired obsolete
203 - "const" properties (posted)
205 - update systemd.special(7) to mention that dbus.socket is only about the compatibility socket now
206 - test bloom filter generation indexes
207 - port to sd-resolve for connecting to TCP dbus servers
210 - allow multiple signal handlers per signal?
212 * in the final killing spree, detect processes from the root directory, and
213 complain loudly if they have argv[0][0] == '@' set.
214 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=961044
216 * investigate endianness issues of UUID vs. GUID
218 * dbus: when a unit failed to load (i.e. is in UNIT_ERROR state), we
219 should be able to safely try another attempt when the bus call LoadUnit() is invoked.
221 * add a pam module that passes the hdd passphrase into the PAM stack and then expires it, for usage by gdm auto-login.
223 * add a pam module that on password changes updates any LUKS slot where the password matches
225 * maybe add a generator that looks for "systemd.run=" on the kernel cmdline for container usercases...
227 * timedatctl, localectl: possibly make some commands work without the daemon, for chroot situations...
229 * timedatectl: print a nicer message when enabling ntp fails because ntpd/chrony are not installed
231 * cgtop: make cgtop useful in a container
234 - add 'set -e' to scripts in test/
235 - make stuff in test/ work with separate output dir
237 * systemctl delete x.snapshot leaves no trace in logs (at least at default level).
239 * make the coredump collector tool move itself into the user's cgroup
240 so that the coredump is properly written to the user's own journal
243 * seems that when we follow symlinks to units we prefer the symlink
244 destination path over /etc and /usr. We shouldn't do that. Instead
245 /etc should always override /run+/usr and also any symlink
248 * when isolating, try to figure out a way how we implicitly can order
249 all units we stop before the isolating unit...
251 * teach ConditionKernelCommandLine= globs or regexes (in order to match foobar={no,0,off})
253 * after all byte-wise realloc() is slow, even on glibc, so i guess we
254 need manual exponential loops after all
256 * BootLoaderSpec: Clarify that the kernel has to be in $BOOT. Clarify
257 that the boot loader should be installed to the ESP. Define a way
258 how an installer can figure out whether a BLS compliant boot loader
261 * think about requeuing jobs when daemon-reload is issued? usecase:
262 the initrd issues a reload after fstab from the host is accessible
263 and we might want to requeue the mounts local-fs acquired through
266 * systemd-inhibit: make taking delay locks useful: support sending SIGINT or SIGTERM on PrepareForSleep()
268 * journal-or-kmsg is currently broken? See reverted commit 4a01181e460686d8b4a543b1dfa7f77c9e3c5ab8.
270 * remove any syslog support from log.c -- we probably can't do this before split-off udev is gone for good
272 * shutdown logging: store to EFI var, and store to USB stick?
274 * write UI tool that pops up emergency messages from the journal as notification
276 * think about window-manager-run-as-user-service problem: exit 0 → activate shutdown.target; exit != 0 → restart service
278 * use "log level" rather than "log priority" everywhere
280 * timedate: have global on/off switches for auto-time (NTP), and auto-timezone that connman can subscribe to.
282 * merge unit_kill_common() and unit_kill_context()
284 * introduce ExecCondition= in services
287 - write man page for efi boot generator
288 - honor language efi variables for default language selection (if there are any?)
289 - honor timezone efi variables for default timezone selection (if there are any?)
290 - change bootctl to be backed by systemd-bootd to control temporary and persistent default boot goal plus efi variables
292 * maybe do not install getty@tty1.service symlink in /etc but in /usr?
294 * re-enable "make check" for gtk-doc (broken for unknown reason)
296 * fstab: add new mount option x-systemd-after=/foobar/waldo to allow manual dependencies to other mount points
297 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=812826
299 * print a nicer explanation if people use variable/specifier expansion in ExecStart= for the first word
301 * mount: turn dependency information from /proc/self/mountinfo into dependency information between systemd units.
304 - logind: optionally, ignore idle-hint logic for autosuspend, block suspend as long as a session is around
305 - When we update the kernel all kind of hibernation should be prohibited until shutdown/reboot
306 - logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
307 - Add pretty name for seats in logind
308 - logind: allow showing logout dialog from system?
309 - we should probably handle SIGTERM/SIGINT to not leave dot files around, just in case
310 - session scopes/user unit: add RequiresMountsFor for the home directory of the user
311 - add Suspend() bus calls which take timestamps to fix double suspend issues when somebody hits suspend and closes laptop quickly.
312 - if pam_systemd is invoked by su from a process that is outside of a
313 any session we should probably just become a NOP, since that's
314 usually not a real user session but just some system code that just
317 * exec: when deinitializating a tty device fix the perms and group, too, not only when initializing. Set access mode/gid to 0620/tty.
319 * service: watchdog logic: for testing purposes allow ping, but do not require pong
322 - import and delete pstore filesystem content at startup
323 - journald: also get thread ID from client, plus thread name
324 - journal: when waiting for journal additions in the client always sleep at least 1s or so, in order to minimize wakeups
325 - add API to close/reopen/get fd for journal client fd in libsystemd-journal.
326 - fallback to /dev/log based logging in libsystemd-journal, if we can't log natively?
327 - declare the local journal protocol stable in the wiki interface chart
328 - journal: reuse XZ context
329 - sd-journal: speed up sd_journal_get_data() with transparent hash table in bg
330 - journald: when dropping msgs due to ratelimit make sure to write
331 "dropped %u messages" not only when we are about to print the next
332 message that works, but alraedy after a short tiemout
333 - check if we can make journalctl by default use --follow mode inside of less if called without args?
334 - maybe add API to send pairs of iovecs via sd_journal_send
335 - journal: when writing journal auto-rotate if time jumps backwards
336 - journal: add a setgid "systemd-journal" utility to invoke from libsystemd-journal, which passes fds via STDOUT and does PK access
337 - journactl: support negative filtering, i.e. FOOBAR!="waldo",
338 and !FOOBAR for events without FOOBAR.
339 - journal: send out marker messages every now and then, and immediately sync with fdatasync() afterwards, in order to have hourly guaranteed syncs.
340 - 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.
341 - journal: find a way to allow dropping history early, based on priority, other rules
342 - journal: When used on NFS, check payload hashes
343 - journald: check whether it is OK if the client can still modify delivered journal entries
344 - journal live copy, based on libneon (client) and libmicrohttpd (server)
345 - journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
346 - refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
347 - journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
348 - journal: deal nicely with byte-by-byte copied files, especially regards header
349 - journal: store euid in journal if it differs from uid
350 - journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the components would fit
351 - Replace utmp, wtmp, btmp, and lastlog completely with journal
352 - journalctl: instead --after-cursor= maybe have a --cursor=XYZ+1 syntax?
353 - tmpfiles: when applying ownership to /run/log/journal, also do this for the journal fails contained in it
354 - when a kernel driver logs in a tight loop, we should ratelimit that too.
355 - journald: optionally, log debug messages to /run but everything else to /var
356 - journald: when we drop syslog messages because the syslog socket is
357 full, make sure to write how many messages are lost as first thing
358 to syslog when it works again.
359 - journald: make sure ratelimit is actually really per-service with the new cgroup changes
360 - change systemd-journal-flush into a service that stays around during
361 boot, and causes the journal to be moved back to /run on shutdown,
362 so that we don't keep /var busy. This needs to happen synchronously,
363 hence doing this via signals is not going to work.
366 - document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fields in
367 [Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
368 - man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
369 - document the exit codes when services fail before they are exec()ed
370 - document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
371 - document in wiki how to map ical recurrence events to systemd timer unit calendar specifications
372 - add a man page containing packaging guidelines and recommending usage of things like Documentation=, PrivateTmp=, PrivateNetwork= and ReadOnlyDirectories=/etc /usr.
373 - document systemd-journal-flush.service properly
374 - documentation: recommend to connect the timer units of a service to the service via Also= in [Install]
375 - man: document the very specific env the shutdown drop-in tools live in
376 - man: extend runlevel(8) to mention that runlevels suck, and are dead. Maybe add runlevel(7) with a note about that too
377 - man: add more examples to man pages
378 - man: maybe sort directives in man pages, and take sections from --help and apply them to man too
381 - systemctl list-jobs - show dependencies
382 - add systemctl switch to dump transaction without executing it
383 - Add a verbose mode to "systemctl start" and friends that explains what is being done or not done
384 - "systemctl disable" on a static unit prints no message and does
385 nothing. "systemctl enable" does nothing, and gives a bad message
386 about it. Should fix both to print nice actionable messages.
387 - print nice message from systemctl --failed if there are no entries shown, and hook that into ExecStartPre of rescue.service/emergency.service
388 - add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
389 - systemctl enable: improve the success messages (i.e. more human readable, less shell-like)
390 - systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into doesn't exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
391 - systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
392 - support "systemctl stop foobar@.service" to stop all units matching a certain template
393 - Something is wrong with symlink handling of "autovt@.service" in "systemctl list-unit-files"
394 - rework wait filter to not require match callback
395 - better error message if you run systemctl without systemd running
396 - systemctl status output should should include list of triggering units and their status
399 - "systemctl mask" should find all names by which a unit is accessible
400 (i.e. by scanning for symlinks to it) and link them all to /dev/null
401 - "systemctl disable" of a unit instance removes all symlinks, but should
402 only remove the instance symlink (systemctl disable of a template
403 unit however should remove them all).
404 - systemctl list-unit-files should list generated files (and probably with a new state "generated" for them, or so)
405 - systemctl: maybe add "systemctl add-wants" or so...
407 * introduce ntp.service (or suchlike) as symlink that is used to arbitrate between various NTP implementations
409 * deal with sendmail/postfix exclusivity
412 - timer units should get the ability to trigger when:
413 o CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (TFD_TIMER_CANCEL_ON_SET)
415 - Support 2012-02~4 as syntax for specifying the fourth to last day of the month.
416 - calendarspec: support value ranges with ".." notation. Example: 2013-4..8-1
417 - when parsing calendar timestamps support the UTC timezone (even if we won't support arbitrary timezone specs, support UTC itself certainly makes sense), also support syntaxes such as +0200
418 - Modulate timer frequency based on battery state
420 * update the kernel's TZ (sys_tz) when DST changes
422 * sync down the system time to the RTC when:
423 - CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (the user explicitely requested a time set)
424 - DST/timezone changes && ntp is active && RTC-in-localtime (never do it without ntp)
425 This takes care of syncing ntpdate updates to the RTC, and DST updates for localtime
426 mode, it will never touch the RTC if the no reliable time source is active or the
427 user did not request anything like it.
429 * libunwind support for coredump pattern hook, and includes this in
430 the message for coredumps. After all, libunwind is now capable to
431 unwind coredumps since a few weeks ago. This probably requires that
432 we have nice support for multi-line messages on display in
433 logs-show.c. Alternatively: use libelfutil, which seems to be the
434 better supported alternative.
436 * add libsystemd-password or so to query passwords during boot using the password agent logic
438 * 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().
440 * fedup: add --unit to systemctl switch-root somehow
441 * fedup: don't delete initrd on switch-root
444 * timedated: refuse time changes when NTP is on
446 * clean up date formatting and parsing so that all absolute/relative timestamps we format can also be parsed
448 * on shutdown: move utmp, wall, audit logic all into PID 1 (or logind?), get rid of systemd-update-utmp-runlevel
450 * add "provisioning" instructions to setup an empty /etc + /var
451 - used to setup a new container from a shared /usr
452 - superset of tmpfiles model
453 - instructions shipped by packages and stored in /usr/lib/
454 - compose /etc/passwd and /etc/group, copy files
455 - able to create uid + gid used by packages, for file ownership
457 * make repeated alt-ctrl-del presses printing a dump, or even force a reboot without
458 waiting for the timeout
460 * hostnamed: before returning information from /etc/machine-info.conf check the modification data and reread. Similar for localed, ...
462 * currently x-systemd.timeout is lost in the initrd, since crypttab is copied into dracut, but fstab isn't
465 - nspawn: --read-only is not applied recursively to submounts
466 - bind mount read-only the cgroup tree higher than nspawn
467 - nspawn: make it work for dwalsh and shared /usr containers -- tmpfs mounts as command line parameters
468 - refuses to boot containers without /etc/machine-id (OK?), and with empty /etc/machine-id (not OK).
469 - support taking a btrfs snapshot at startup and dropping it afterwards
470 - maybe: hookup nspawn and PrivateNetwork=yes with "ip netns"
471 - generate predictable mac addresses for the netdev we create (host0), maybe based on guest's machine
472 name and machine-id of host (?)
475 - cryptsetup-generator: allow specification of passwords in crypttab itself
476 - move cryptsetup key caching into kernel keyctl?
477 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54982
478 - support rd.luks.allow-discards= kernel cmdline params in cryptsetup generator
480 * hw watchdog: optionally try to use the preset watchdog timeout instead of always overriding it
481 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54712
483 * after deserializing sockets in socket.c we should reapply sockopts and things
485 * make timer units go away after they elapsed
487 * http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2012-September/006502.html
488 (network and remote-fs on shutdown)
490 * come up with a nice way to write queue/read_ahead_kb for a block device without interfering with readahead
492 * move PID 1 segfaults to /var/lib/systemd/coredump?
494 * create /sbin/init symlinks from the build system
496 * Query Paul Moore about relabelling socket fds while they are open
498 * allow writing multiple conditions in unit files on one line
500 * explore multiple service instances per listening socket idea
502 * MountFlags=shared acts as MountFlags=slave right now.
504 * ReadOnlyDirectories= is not applied recursively to submounts
506 * drop PID 1 reloading, only do reexecing (difficult: Reload()
507 currently is properly synchronous, Reexec() is weird, because we
508 can't delay the response properly until we are back, so instead of
509 being properly synchronous we just keep open the fd and close it
510 when done. That means clients don't get a successful method reply,
511 but much rather a disconnect on success.
513 * properly handle loop back mounts via fstab, especially regards to fsck/passno
515 * allow services with no ExecStart= but with an ExecStop=
517 * dracut-shutdown needs to be ordered before unmounting /boot
519 * initialize the hostname from the fs label of /, if /etc/hostname does not exist?
521 * rename "userspace" to "core-os"
523 * load-fragment: when loading a unit file via a chain of symlinks
524 verify that it isn't masked via any of the names traversed.
526 * introduce Type=pid-file
528 * change Requires=basic.target to RequisiteOverride=basic.target
530 * when breaking cycles drop sysv services first, then services from /run, then from /etc, then from /usr
532 * automount: implement expire:
533 - set superblock timeout AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_TIMEOUT_CMD
534 - periodically run AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_EXPIRE_CMD
535 - every timeout/4 (original autofs logic)
536 - blocking, needs a thread
538 - receive expire packet on pipe if kernel tells the timeout is over
540 - answer expire packet on pipe with AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_{READY,FAIL}_CMD
541 - AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_EXPIRE_CMD returns
543 * ExecOnFailure=/usr/bin/foo
546 - remove src/udev/udev-builtin-firmware.c (CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER=n)
549 - add trigger --subsystem-match=usb/usb_device device
550 - reimport udev db after MOVE events for devices without dev_t
552 * 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
554 * introduce mix of BindTo and Requisite
556 * add DeleteSocketsOnStop=yes|no option to socket units
558 * There's currently no way to cancel fsck (used to be possible via C-c or c on the console)
560 * add option to sockets to avoid activation. Instead just drop packets/connections, see http://cyberelk.net/tim/2012/02/15/portreserve-systemd-solution/
562 * default unix qlen is too small (10). bump sysctl? add sockopt?
564 * save coredump in Windows/Mozilla minidump format
566 * support crash reporting operation modes (https://live.gnome.org/GnomeOS/Design/Whiteboards/ProblemReporting)
568 * default to actual 32bit PIDs, via /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max
570 * be able to specify a forced restart of service A where service B depends on, in case B
571 needs to be auto-respawned?
573 * when a bus name of a service disappears from the bus make sure to queue further activation requests
576 - check systemd-tmpfiles for selinux context hookup for mknod(), symlink() and similar
577 - apply "x" on "D" too (see patch from William Douglas)
579 * for services: don't set $HOME in services unless requested
581 * hide PAM options in fragment parser when compile time disabled
583 * when we automatically restart a service, ensure we restart its rdeps, too.
585 * allow Type=simple with PIDFile=
586 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=723942
588 * move PAM code into its own binary
590 * implement Register= switch in .socket units to enable registration
591 in Avahi, RPC and other socket registration services.
593 * make sure systemd-ask-password-wall does not shutdown systemd-ask-password-console too early
595 * support sd_notify() style notification when reload begins (RELOADING=1), reload is finished (READY=1), and add ReloadSignal= then to use in combination
597 * support sd_notify() style notification when shutting down, to make auto-exit bus services work (STOPPING=1)
599 * verify that the AF_UNIX sockets of a service in the fs still exist
600 when we start a service in order to avoid confusion when a user
601 assumes starting a service is enough to make it accessible
603 * support User= and Group= attributes for AF_UNIX sockets. (difficult, requires NSS from PID 1?)
605 * Make it possible to set the keymap independently from the font on
606 the kernel cmdline. Right now setting one resets also the other.
608 * and a dbus call to generate target from current state
611 - drop /.readahead on bigger upgrades with yum
612 - move readahead files into /var (look for them with .path units?)
613 - readahead: use BTRFS_IOC_DEFRAG_RANGE instead of BTRFS_IOC_DEFRAG ioctl, with START_IO
614 - readahead: when bumping /sys readahead variable save mtime and compare later to detect changes
615 - readahead: make use of EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT, as used by http://e4rat.sourceforge.net/
617 * add support for /bin/mount -s
619 * GC unreferenced jobs (such as .device jobs)
621 * write blog stories about:
622 - hwdb: what belongs into it, lsusb
623 - enabling dbus services
625 - how to make changes to sysctl and sysfs attributes
627 - how to pass throw-away units to systemd, or dynamically change properties of existing units
628 - how to integrate cgconfig and suchlike with systemd
629 - testing with Harald's awesome test kit
631 - how to develop against journal browsing APIs
632 - the journal HTTP iface
633 - non-cgroup resource management
634 - dynamic resource management with cgroups
635 - refreshed, longer missions statement
636 - calendar time events
637 - init=/bin/sh vs. "emergency" mode, vs. "rescue" mode, vs. "multi-user" mode, vs. "graphical" mode, and the debug shell
638 - how to create your own target
639 - instantiated apache, dovecot and so on
640 - hooking a script into various stages of shutdown/rearly booot
642 * allow port=0 in .socket units
644 * support systemd.mask= on the kernel command line.
646 * recreate systemd's D-Bus private socket file on SIGUSR2
648 * Support --test based on current system state
650 * investigate whether the gnome pty helper should be moved into systemd, to provide cgroup support.
652 * maybe introduce ExecRestartPre=
654 * dot output for --test showing the 'initial transaction'
656 * fingerprint.target, wireless.target, gps.target, netdevice.target
658 * io priority during initialization
660 * drop cap bounding set in readahead and other services
663 - figure out a simple way to wait for journal events in a way that
665 - add documentation to systemd.daemon
668 - plot per-process IO utilization
669 - group processes based on service association (cgroups)
670 - document initcall_debug
671 - kernel cmdline "bootchart" option for simplicity?
674 - Make sure ID_PATH is always exported and complete for
675 network devices where possible, so we can safely rely
679 - add support for more attribute types
680 - inbuilt piping support (essentially degenerate async)? see loopback-setup.c and other places
683 - add more keys to [Route] and [Address] sections
684 - add support for more DHCPv4 options (and, longer term, other kinds of dynamic config)
685 - add proper initrd support (in particular generate .network/.link files based on /proc/cmdline)
686 - add reduced [Link] support to .network files
687 - add Scope= parsing option for [Network]
688 - properly handle routerless dhcp leases
689 - set lifetime on the address acquired from dhcp
692 - add veth netdev support (c.f. http://shorewall.net/bridge-Shorewall-perl.html#veth)
697 - natively watch for dbus-*.service symlinks (PENDING)
698 - teach dbus to activate all services it finds in /etc/systemd/services/org-*.service
700 * fix alsa mixer restore to not print error when no config is stored
702 * make cryptsetup lower --iter-time
704 * patch kernel for xattr support in /dev, /proc/, /sys?
706 * NTP: the kernel's 11-minutes-mode syncs the system time to the RTC, but only
707 in an ~30 minutes window. It does not adjust larger differences. Find a way
708 to tell the kernel, to always do a full time sync when the RTC is in UTC and
709 we are in 11-minutes-mode. When we trust the system time to NTP we also want
712 * kernel: add device_type = "fb", "fbcon" to class "graphics"
714 * drop accountsservice's StandardOutput=syslog and Type=dbus fields
716 * dbus upstream still refers to dbus.target and shouldn't
718 * dbus: in fedora, make /var/lib/dbus/machine-id a symlink to /etc/machine-id
720 * add "# export SYSTEMD_PAGER=" to bash login
722 * /usr/bin/service should actually show the new command line
724 * 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=
726 * fedora: F20: go timer units all the way, leave cron.daily for cron
728 * neither pkexec nor sudo initialize environ[] from the PAM environment?
730 * fedora: update policy to declare access mode and ownership of unit files to root:root 0644, and add an rpmlint check for it
732 * register catalog database signature as file magic
736 * look for close() vs. close_nointr() vs. close_nointr_nofail()
738 * check for strerror(r) instead of strerror(-r)
740 * Use PR_SET_PROCTITLE_AREA if it becomes available in the kernel
744 * set_put(), hashmap_put() return values check. i.e. == 0 doesn't free()!
746 * use secure_getenv() instead of getenv() where appropriate
748 * link up selected blog stories from man pages and unit files Documentation= fields
750 Scheduled for removal or fixing:
752 * xxxOverridable dependencies (probably: fix)
