2 * check systemd-tmpfiles for selinux context hookup for mknod(), symlink() and similar
4 * swap units that are activated by one name but shown in the kernel under another are semi-broken
6 * Dangling symlinks of .automount unit files in .wants/ directories, set up
7 automount points even when the original .automount file did not exist
8 anymore. Only the .mount unit was still around.
10 * make polkit checks async
12 * properly handle .mount unit state tracking when two mount points are stacked one on top of another on the exact same mount point.
16 * external: maybe it is time to patch procps so that "ps" links to
17 libsystemd-logind to print a pretty service name, seat name, session
18 name in its output. Currently it only shows cgroup membership, but
19 that's sometimes kinda hard to parse for a human.
22 - update dbus interface docs in wiki
25 - localectl: support new converted x11→console keymaps
29 * nss-myhostname: investigate whether there's any point in also
30 resolving localhost6, localhost.localdomain, ip6-localhost or any of
31 the other names often seen in /etc/hosts
33 * see if we can fix https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=63672
34 without dropping the location cache entirely.
36 * dbus: when a unit failed to load (i.e. is in UNIT_ERROR state), we
37 should be able to safely try another attempt when the bus call LoadUnit() is invoked.
39 * for instanced unit drop-ins we should look in foo@bar.service.d/ as well as foo@.service.d/
41 * if pam_systemd is invoked by su from a process that is outside of a
42 any session we should probably just become a NOP, since that's
43 usually not a real user session but just some system code that just
46 * add a pam module that passes the hdd passphrase into the PAM stack and then expires it, for usage by gdm auto-login.
48 * add a pam module that on password changes updates any LUKS slot where the password matches
50 * maybe add a generator that looks for "systemd.run=" on the kernel cmdline for container usercases...
52 * timedatctl, localectl: possibly make some commands work without the daemon, for chroot situations...
54 * logind: add Suspend() bus calls which take timestamps to fix double suspend issues when somebody hits suspend and closes laptop quickly.
56 * we need dynamic units
58 * add s.th. like "systemctl set-log-level debug"
60 * sd-login: allow enumerating machines and add inotify iface
62 * cgroup-util: verify syntax of cgroup controllers
64 * cgtop: make cgtop useful in a container
66 * make sure cg_pid_get_path() works properly for co-mounted controllers
68 * nspawn: ensure syntax of --uuid= argument is correct
70 * explicitly disallow changing the cgroup path of units in the
71 name=systemd hierarchy, unless it is outside of /system
74 - add 'set -e' to scripts in test/
75 - make stuff in test/ work with separate output dir
76 - remove all the duplicated code in test/
78 * suppress log output on shutdown when "quiet" is used
80 * systemctl delete x.snapshot leaves no trace in logs (at least at default level).
82 * make the coredump collector tool move itself into the user's cgroup
83 so that the coredump is properly written to the user's own journal
86 * move /usr/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/modules.devname parsing from udevd to
88 call kmod as an early service, and drop CAP_MKNOD from udevd.service
90 * systemd-delta needs to be made aware of *.d/*.conf drop-in files for
93 * seems that when we follow symlinks to units we prefer the symlink
94 destination path over /etc and /usr. We shouldn't do that. Instead
95 /etc should always override /run+/usr and also any symlink
98 * remove duplicate default deps logic from fstab-generator vs. mount.c
100 * when isolating, try to figure out a way how we implicitly can order
101 all units we stop before the isolating unit...
103 * teach udev + logind's uaccess to somehow handle the "dead" device nodes from:
104 /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/modules.devname
105 and apply ACLs to them if they have TAG=="uaccess" in udev rules.
107 * matching against units is currently broken in journalctl. We really
108 need another AND level in the expressions,
109 i.e. sd_journal_add_conjunction().
111 * add ConditionArchitecture= or so
113 * teach ConditionKernelCommandLine= globs or regexes (in order to match foobar={no,0,off})
115 * we should log capabilities too
117 * Support SO_REUSEPORT with socket activation:
118 - Let systemd maintain a pool of servers.
119 - Use for seamless upgrades, by running the new server before stopping the
122 * after all byte-wise realloc() is slow, even on glibc, so i guess we
123 need manual exponential loops after all
125 * BootLoaderSpec: drop allowing ext234 for $BOOT. Clarify that the
126 kernel has to be in $BOOT. Clarify that the boot loader should be
127 installed to the ESP. Define a way how an installer can figure out
128 whether a BLS compliant boot loader is installed.
130 * man: remove .include documentation, and instead push people to use .d/*.conf
132 * disallow .include from included files
134 * safe_atod() is too naive, as it is vulnerable to locale parameters, should be locale independent.
136 * think about requeuing jobs when daemon-reload is issued? usecase:
137 the initrd issues a reload after fstab from the host is accessible
138 and we might want to requeue the mounts local-fs acquired through
141 * neither pkexec nor sudo initialize environ[] from the PAM environment?
143 * rework specifier logic so that we can distuingish OOM errors from other errors
145 * systemd-inhibit: make taking delay locks useful: support sending SIGINT or SIGTERM on PrepareForSleep()
147 * journal-or-kmsg is currently broken? See reverted commit 4a01181e460686d8b4a543b1dfa7f77c9e3c5ab8.
149 * remove any syslog support from log.c -- we probably can't do this before split-off udev is gone for good
151 * fedora: connect the timer units of a service to the service via Also= in [Install]
153 * fedora: F20: go timer units all the way, leave cron.daily for cron
155 * add a tool that lists active timer units plus their next elapstion and the time the units ran last
157 * man: document the very specific env the shutdown drop-in tools live in
159 * shutdown logging: store to EFI var, and store to USB stick?
161 * man: extend runlevel(8) to mention that runlevels suck, and are dead. Maybe add runlevel(7) with a note about that too
163 * systemctl: maybe add "systemctl add-wants" or so...
165 * man: add a link to socket activation blog from systemd.socket(5)
167 * man: add more examples to man pages
169 * man: maybe sort directives in man pages, and take sections from --help and apply them to man too
171 * add "# export SYSTEMD_PAGER=" to bash login
173 * /usr/bin/service should actually show the new command line
175 * 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=
177 * write UI tool that pops up emergency messages from the journal as notification
179 * think about window-manager-run-as-user-service problem: exit 0 → activate shutdown.target; exit != 0 → restart service
181 * msgcatalog determine default language of entries from the catalog
182 file name. i.e. foobar.de_DE.catalog would set the default entry
183 name for the entries to de_DE if they aren't explicitly suffixed
186 * use "log level" rather than "log priority" everywhere
188 * ensure sd_journal_seek_monotonic actually works properly.
190 * timedate: have global on/off switches for auto-time (NTP), and auto-timezone that connman can subscribe to.
192 * Honour "-" prefix for InaccessibleDirectories= and ReadOnlyDirectories= to
193 suppress errors of the specified path doesn't exist
195 * dev-setup.c: when running in a container, create a tiny stub udev
196 database with the systemd tag set for all network interfaces found,
197 so that libudev reports them as present, and systemd's .device units
200 * merge unit_kill_common() and unit_kill_context()
202 * introduce ExecCondition= in services
205 - fsck hookup for the ESP mount is missing
206 - write man page for efi boot generator
207 - honor language efi variables for default language selection (if there are any?)
208 - honor timezone efi variables for default timezone selection (if there are any?)
209 - introduce bootctl (backed by systemd-bootd) to control temporary and persistent default boot goal plus efi variables
211 * maybe do not install getty@tty1.service symlink in /etc but in /usr?
213 * re-enable "make check" for gtk-doc (broken for unknown reason)
215 * fstab: add new mount option x-systemd-after=/foobar/waldo to allow manual dependencies to other mount points
216 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=812826
218 * print a nicer explanation if people use variable/specifier expansion in ExecStart= for the first word
220 * mount: turn dependency information from /proc/self/mountinfo into dependency information between systemd units.
223 - logind: optionally, ignore idle-hint logic for autosuspend, block suspend as long as a session is around
224 - When we update the kernel all kind of hibernation should be prohibited until shutdown/reboot
225 - logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
226 - Add pretty name for seats in logind
227 - logind: allow showing logout dialog from system?
228 - logind: spawn user@..service on login
229 - logind: non-local X11 server handling
230 - logind: add equivalent to sd_pid_get_owner_uid() to the D-Bus API
231 - pam: when leaving a session explicitly exclude the ReleaseSession() caller process from the killing spree
232 - logind: GetSessionByPID() should accept 0 as PID value
233 - we should probably handle SIGTERM/SIGINT to not leave dot files around, just in case
235 * exec: when deinitializating a tty device fix the perms and group, too, not only when initializing. Set access mode/gid to 0620/tty.
237 * DeviceAllow/DeviceDeny: disallow everything by default, but whitelist /dev/zero, /dev/null and friends
239 * service: watchdog logic: for testing purposes allow ping, but do not require pong
242 - do not use magic msync() in src/journal/journal-file.c, just call fsync()
243 <alxchk> poettering: looks like msync just calls vfs_fsync
244 http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/mm/msync.c#n18
245 - import and delete pstore filesystem content at startup
246 - journald: also get thread ID from client, plus thread name
247 - journal: when waiting for journal additions in the client always sleep at least 1s or so, in order to minimize wakeups
248 - add API to close/reopen/get fd for journal client fd in libsystemd-journal.
249 - fallback to /dev/log based logging in libsystemd-journal, if we can't log natively?
250 - declare the local journal protocol stable in the wiki interface chart
251 - journal: reuse XZ context
252 - sd-journal: speed up sd_journal_get_data() with transparent hash table in bg
253 - journald: when dropping msgs due to ratelimit make sure to write
254 "dropped %u messages" not only when we are about to print the next
255 message that works, but alraedy after a short tiemout
256 - check if we can make journalctl by default use --follow mode inside of less if called without args?
257 - maybe add API to send pairs of iovecs via sd_journal_send
258 - journal: when writing journal auto-rotate if time jumps backwards
259 - gatewayd: should run under its own UID
260 - journal: add a setgid "systemd-journal" utility to invoke from libsystemd-journal, which passes fds via STDOUT and does PK access
261 - journactl: support negative filtering, i.e. FOOBAR!="waldo",
262 and !FOOBAR for events without FOOBAR.
263 - journal: when rotating, copy over old acls/access mode
264 - journal: send out marker messages every now and then, and immediately sync with fdatasync() afterwards, in order to have hourly guaranteed syncs.
265 - 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.
266 - journal: find a way to allow dropping history early, based on priority, other rules
267 - journal: When used on NFS, check payload hashes
268 - journal: When used on NFS make sure wake up sd_journal_wait() every 2s, to handle missing inotify
269 - Introduce journalctl -b <nr> to show journal messages of a previous boot
270 - journald: check whether it is OK if the client can still modify delivered journal entries
271 - journal live copy, based on libneon (client) and libmicrohttpd (server)
272 - journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
273 - refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
274 - journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
275 - journal: deal nicely with byte-by-byte copied files, especially regards header
276 - journalctl: show multiline log messages sanely, expand tabs, and show all valid utf8 messages
277 - journal: store euid in journal if it differs from uid
278 - journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the components would fit
279 - journalctl: make journalctl smarter, and actually check groups that have access to /var/log/journal before printing message about recomming group membership for journal access
280 - Replace utmp, wtmp, btmp, and lastlog completely with journal
281 - Port upower to use the journal for historical power information used in future calculations
284 - document unit_name_mangle()
285 - document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fileds in
286 [Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
287 - man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
288 - Document word splitting syntax for ExecStart= and friends
289 - document that units from /etc override those from /usr and /run
290 - document the exit codes when services fail before they are exec()ed
291 - document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
292 - document in wiki how to map ical recurrence events to systemd timer unit calendar specifications
295 - systemctl list-jobs - show dependencies
296 - add systemctl switch to dump transaction without executing it
297 - Add a verbose mode to "systemctl start" and friends that explains what is being done or not done
298 - "systemctl disable" on a static unit prints no message and does
299 nothing. "systemctl enable" does nothing, and gives a bad message
300 about it. Should fix both to print nice actionable messages.
301 - print nice message from systemctl --failed if there are no entries shown, and hook that into ExecStartPre of rescue.service/emergency.service
302 - add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
303 - systemctl enable: improve the success messages (i.e. more human readable, less shell-like)
304 - systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into doesn't exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
305 - systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
306 - support "systemctl stop foobar@.service" to stop all units matching a certain template
307 - Something is wrong with symlink handling of "autovt@.service" in "systemctl list-unit-files"
308 - add configuration/switches to use
309 freeze (http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git) and
310 standby (https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=57793) as suspend modes
312 * introduce ntp.service (or suchlike) as symlink that is used to arbitrate between various NTP implementations
314 * deal with sendmail/postfix exclusivity
317 - configurable jitter for timer events
318 - timer events with system resume
319 - timer units should get the ability to trigger when:
320 o CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (TFD_TIMER_CANCEL_ON_SET)
322 - Support 2012-02~4 as syntax for specifying the fourth to last day of the month.
324 * update the kernel's TZ (sys_tz) when DST changes
326 * sync down the system time to the RTC when:
327 - CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (the user explicitely requested a time set)
328 - DST/timezone changes && ntp is active && RTC-in-localtime (never do it without ntp)
329 This takes care of syncing ntpdate updates to the RTC, and DST updates for localtime
330 mode, it will never touch the RTC if the no reliable time source is active or the
331 user did not request anything like it.
334 - implement conditional properties (dmi matches)
335 - hwdb --filter=ID_DRIVE_*
337 * if booted in "quiet" mode, and an error happens, turn on status
338 output again, so that the emergency mode isn't totally
339 surprising. Also, terminate plymouth.
341 * libunwind support for coredump pattern hook, and includes this in
342 the message for coredumps. After all, libunwind is now capable to
343 unwind coredumps since a few weeks ago. This probably requires that
344 we have nice support for multi-line messages on display in
345 logs-show.c. Alternatively: use libelfutil, which seems to be the
346 better supported alternative.
348 * figure out relation of --all and --full in the various tools
350 * add libsystemd-password or so to query passwords during boot using the password agent logic
352 * 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().
354 * fedup: add --unit to systemctl switch-root somehow
355 * fedup: don't delete initrd on switch-root
359 - timedated: refuse time changes when NTP is on
361 * clean up date formatting and parsing so that all absolute/relative timestamps we format can also be parsed
363 * introduce generic AUGMENT_PID=, AUGMENT_DEVICE= fields
365 * on shutdown: move utmp, wall, audit logic all into PID 1 (or logind?), get rid of systemd-update-utmp-runlevel
367 * add "provisioning" instructions to setup an empty /etc + /var
368 - used to setup a new container from a shared /usr
369 - superset of tmpfiles model
370 - instructions shipped by packages and stored in /usr/lib/
371 - compose /etc/passwd and /etc/group, copy files
372 - able to create uid + gid used by packages, for file ownership
374 * make repeated alt-ctrl-del presses printing a dump, or even force a reboot without
375 waiting for the timeout
377 * high level net_prio setting in execution context
379 * hostnamed: before returning information from /etc/machine-info.conf check the modification data and reread. Similar for localed, ...
381 * currently x-systemd.timeout is lost in the initrd, since crypttab is copied into dracut, but fstab isn't
383 * WorkingDirectory: support env var replacements like in ExecStart= so that people can use $HOME
385 * refuse boot if /etc/machine-id is not useful (or set taint?)
388 - nspawn: consider changing users for -u with su, so that NSS resolving works correctly
389 - nspawn: implement personality changes a la linux32(8)
390 - nspawn: --read-only is not applied recursively to submounts
391 - nspawn: make use of device cgroup controller by default
392 - bind mount read-only the cgroup tree higher than nspawn
393 - nspawn: investigate whether we can support the same as LXC's
394 lxc.network.type=phys mode, and pass through entire network
395 interfaces to the container
396 - nspawn: maybe add a way to drop additional caps, in addition to add additional caps
397 - nspawn: maybe explicitly reset loginuid?
398 - nspawn: make it work for dwalsh and shared /usr containers -- tmpfs mounts as command line parameters, selinux exec context
401 - cryptsetup-generator: warn if the password files are world-readable
402 - cryptsetup-generator: allow specification of passwords in crypttab itself
403 - move cryptsetup key caching into kernel keyctl?
404 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54982
405 - when key file cannot be found, read it from kbd in cryptsetup
407 * move debug shell to tty6 and make sure this doesn't break the gettys on tty6
409 * hw watchdog: optionally try to use the preset watchdog timeout instead of always overriding it
410 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54712
412 * after deserializing sockets in socket.c we should reapply sockopts and things
414 * make timer units go away after they elapsed
416 * http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2012-September/006502.html
417 (network and remote-fs on shutdown)
419 * come up with a nice way to write queue/read_ahead_kb for a block device without interfering with readahead
421 * move PID 1 segfaults to /var/lib/systemd/coredump?
423 * create /sbin/init symlinks from the build system
425 * Query Paul Moore about relabelling socket fds while they are open
427 * system.conf should have controls for cgroups
429 * allow writing multiple conditions in unit files on one line
431 * explore multiple service instances per listening socket idea
433 * shutdown: don't read-only mount anything when running in container
435 * MountFlags=shared acts as MountFlags=slave right now.
437 * ReadOnlyDirectories= is not applied recursively to submounts
439 * drop PID 1 reloading, only do reexecing (difficult: Reload()
440 currently is properly synchronous, Reexec() is weird, because we
441 can't delay the response properly until we are back, so instead of
442 being properly synchronous we just keep open the fd and close it
443 when done. That means clients don't get a successful method reply,
444 but much rather a disconnect on success.
446 * remember which condition failed for services, not just the fact that something failed
448 * use opterr = 0 for all getopt tools
450 * properly handle loop back mounts via fstab, especially regards to fsck/passno
452 * allow services with no ExecStart= but with an ExecStop=
454 * dracut-shutdown needs to be ordered before unmounting /boot
456 * initialize the hostname from the fs label of /, if /etc/hostname does not exist?
458 * rename "userspace" to "core-os"
461 - syscall filter: add knowledge about compat syscalls
462 - syscall filter: don't enforce no new privs?
463 - syscall filter: option to return EPERM rather than SIGSYS?
464 - syscall filter: port to libseccomp
465 - system-wide seccomp filter
467 * .device aliases need to be implemented with the "following" logic, probably.
469 * load-fragment: when loading a unit file via a chain of symlinks
470 verify that it isn't masked via any of the names traversed.
472 * introduce Type=pid-file
474 * maybe allow services with ExecStop= set, but no ExecStart=?
476 * change Requires=basic.target to RequisiteOverride=basic.target
478 * support rd.luks.allow-discards= kernel cmdline params in cryptsetup generator
480 * drop accountsservice's StandardOutput=syslog and Type=dbus fields
482 * when breaking cycles drop sysv services first, then services from /run, then from /etc, then from /usr
484 * move passno parsing to fstab generator
486 * automount: implement expire:
487 - set superblock timeout AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_TIMEOUT_CMD
488 - periodically run AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_EXPIRE_CMD
489 - every timeout/4 (original autofs logic)
490 - blocking, needs a thread
492 - receive expire packet on pipe if kernel tells the timeout is over
494 - answer expire packet on pipe with AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_{READY,FAIL}_CMD
495 - AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_EXPIRE_CMD returns
497 * services which create their own subcgroups break cgroup-empty notification (needs to be fixed in the kernel)
499 * ExecOnFailure=/usr/bin/foo
501 * ConditionSecurity= should learn about IMA and SMACK
504 - remove src/udev/udev-builtin-firmware.c (CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER=n)
506 - unify utf8 validator code with shared/
508 - add trigger --subsystem-match=usb/usb_device device
510 * cleanup syslog 'priority' vs. 'level' wording
512 * dbus upstream still refers to dbus.target and shouldn't
514 * 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
516 * support container_ttys=
518 * introduce mix of BindTo and Requisite
520 * add DeleteSocketsOnStop=yes|no option to socket units
522 * There's currently no way to cancel fsck (used to be possible via C-c or c on the console)
524 * add option to sockets to avoid activation. Instead just drop packets/connections, see http://cyberelk.net/tim/2012/02/15/portreserve-systemd-solution/
526 * default unix qlen is too small (10). bump sysctl? add sockopt?
528 * dbus: in fedora, make /var/lib/dbus/machine-id a symlink to /etc/machine-id
530 * save coredump in Windows/Mozilla minidump format
532 * support crash reporting operation modes (https://live.gnome.org/GnomeOS/Design/Whiteboards/ProblemReporting)
534 * clean up session cgroups that remain after logout (think sshd), but eventually run empty
536 * when an instanced service exits, remove its parent cgroup too if possible.
538 * default to actual 32bit PIDs, via /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max
540 * be able to specify a forced restart of service A where service B depends on, in case B
541 needs to be auto-respawned?
543 * when a bus name of a service disappears from the bus make sure to queue further activation requests
545 * tmpfiles: apply "x" on "D" too (see patch from William Douglas)
547 * for services: don't set $HOME in services unless requested
549 * hide PAM/TCPWrap options in fragment parser when compile time disabled
551 * when we automatically restart a service, ensure we restart its rdeps, too.
553 * allow Type=simple with PIDFile=
554 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=723942
556 * move PAM code into its own binary
558 * implement Register= switch in .socket units to enable registration
559 in Avahi, RPC and other socket registration services.
561 * make sure systemd-ask-password-wall does not shutdown systemd-ask-password-console too early
563 * support sd_notify() style notification when reload begins (RELOADING=1), reload is finished (READY=1), and add ReloadSignal= then to use in combination
565 * support sd_notify() style notification when shutting down, to make auto-exit bus services work (STOPPING=1)
567 * verify that the AF_UNIX sockets of a service in the fs still exist
568 when we start a service in order to avoid confusion when a user
569 assumes starting a service is enough to make it accessible
571 * Make it possible to set the keymap independently from the font on
572 the kernel cmdline. Right now setting one resets also the other.
574 * and a dbus call to generate target from current state
577 - drop /.readahead on bigger upgrades with yum
578 - move readahead files into /var (look for them with .path units?)
579 - readahead: use BTRFS_IOC_DEFRAG_RANGE instead of BTRFS_IOC_DEFRAG ioctl, with START_IO
580 - readahead: when bumping /sys readahead variable save mtime and compare later to detect changes
581 - readahead: make use of EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT, as used by http://e4rat.sourceforge.net/
583 * add support for /bin/mount -s
585 * GC unreferenced jobs (such as .device jobs)
587 * write blog stories about:
588 - hwdb: what belongs into it, lsusb
589 - enabling dbus services
591 - how to make changes to sysctl and sysfs attributes
593 - how to pass throw-away units to systemd, or dynamically change properties of existing units
594 - how to integrate cgconfig and suchlike with systemd
595 - testing with Harald's awesome test kit
597 - how to develop against journal browsing APIs
598 - the journal HTTP iface
599 - non-cgroup resource management
600 - dynamic resource management with cgroups
601 - refreshed, longer missions statement
602 - calendar time events
603 - init=/bin/sh vs. "emergency" mode, vs. "rescue" mode, vs. "multi-user" mode, vs. "graphical" mode, and the debug shell
604 - how to create your own target
605 - instantiated apache, dovecot and so on
606 - hooking a script into various stages of shutdown/rearly booot
608 * allow port=0 in .socket units
610 * support systemd.mask= on the kernel command line.
612 * reuse mkdtemp namespace dirs in /tmp?
614 * recreate systemd's D-Bus private socket file on SIGUSR2
616 * Support --test based on current system state
618 * investigate whether the gnome pty helper should be moved into systemd, to provide cgroup support.
620 * maybe introduce ExecRestartPre=
622 * dot output for --test showing the 'initial transaction'
624 * port over to LISTEN_FDS/LISTEN_PID:
625 - rpcbind (/var/run/rpcbind.sock!) HAVEPATCH
629 - libvirtd (/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock-ro)
630 - bluetoothd (/var/run/sdp! @/org/bluez/audio!)
633 * fingerprint.target, wireless.target, gps.target, netdevice.target
635 * io priority during initialization
637 * drop cap bounding set in readahead and other services
640 - figure out a simple way to wait for journal events in a way that
642 - add documentation to systemd.daemon
648 - natively watch for dbus-*.service symlinks (PENDING)
649 - allow specification of socket mode/umask when allocating DBusServer
650 - allow disabling of fd passing when connecting a AF_UNIX connection
651 - allow disabling of UID passing for AUTH EXTERNAL
652 - always pass cred data along each message
653 - teach dbus to activate all services it finds in /etc/systemd/services/org-*.service
655 * fix alsa mixer restore to not print error when no config is stored
657 * make cryptsetup lower --iter-time
659 * patch kernel for xattr support in /dev, /proc/, /sys?
661 * NTP: the kernel's 11-minutes-mode syncs the system time to the RTC, but only
662 in an ~30 minutes window. It does not adjust larger differences. Find a way
663 to tell the kernel, to always do a full time sync when the RTC is in UTC and
664 we are in 11-minutes-mode. When we trust the system time to NTP we also want
667 * kernel: add device_type = "fb", "fbcon" to class "graphics"
670 - plot per-process IO utilization
671 - group processes based on service association (cgroups)
672 - document initcall_debug
673 - put bootcharts in the journal
674 - kernel cmdline "bootchart" option for simplicity?
678 * look for close() vs. close_nointr() vs. close_nointr_nofail()
680 * check for strerror(r) instead of strerror(-r)
682 * Use PR_SET_PROCTITLE_AREA if it becomes available in the kernel
684 * %m in printf() instead of strerror(errno);
688 * set_put(), hashmap_put() return values check. i.e. == 0 doesn't free()!
690 * use secure_getenv() instead of getenv() where appropriate
692 * link up selected blog stories from man pages and unit files Documentation= fields
694 Scheduled for removal or fixing:
696 * xxxOverridable dependencies (probably: fix)
