3 * port libmount hookup to use API's own inotify interface
7 * cgroup delegation issues
11 * Should systemctl status \* work on all unit types, not just .service?
13 * Dangling symlinks of .automount unit files in .wants/ directories, set up
14 automount points even when the original .automount file did not exist
15 anymore. Only the .mount unit was still around.
17 * properly handle .mount unit state tracking when two mount points are stacked one on top of another on the exact same mount point.
19 * ExecStart with unicode characters fails in strv_split_quoted:
22 Environment=ONE='one' "TWO='two two' too" THREE=
23 ExecStart=/bin/python3 -c 'import sys;print(sys.argv)' $ONE $TWO $THREE
25 * MEMORY return code is overloaded for syntax errors in the command line.
26 str_split_quoted() should return a real return code, so spawn_child can
27 report the failure properly.
31 * Fedora: add an rpmlint check that verifies that all unit files in the RPM are listed in %systemd_post macros.
33 * Fedora: post FPC ticket to move add %tmpfiles_create to the packaging guidelines
35 * Fedora: move kernel image to /usr/lib/modules/, kernel-install will take care of populating /boot
37 * Fedora: remove /etc/resolv.conf tmpfiles hack
39 * wiki: update journal format documentation for lz4 additions
41 * When lz4 gets an API for lz4 command output, make use of it to
42 compress coredumps in a way compatible with /usr/bin/lz4.
46 * journald: broken file systems are real (btrfs), we need to handle
47 SIGBUS in some way if we cannot write or read from the disk.
48 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1151848
50 * "systemctl preset-all" should probably order the unit files it
51 operates on lexicographically before starting to work, in order to
52 ensure deterministic behaviour if two unit files conflict (like DMs
55 * resolved should optionally register additional per-interface LLMNR
56 names, so that for the container case we can establish the same name
57 (maybe "host") for referencing the server, everywhere.
59 * systemd-journal-upload (or a new, related tool): allow pushing out
60 journal messages onto the network in BSD syslog protocol,
61 continously. Default to some link-local IP mcast group, to make this
62 useful as a one-stop debugging tool.
64 * synchronize console access with BSD locks:
65 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-October/024582.html
67 * as soon as we have kdbus, and sender timestamps, revisit coalescing multiple parallel daemon reloads:
68 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-December/025862.html
70 * 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
72 * the install state probably shouldn't get confused by generated units, think dbus1/kdbus compat!
74 * in systemctl list-unit-files: show the install value the presets would suggest for a service in a third column
76 * we should try harder to collapse start jobs for swaps that end up being the same:
77 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-November/025359.html
79 * timedated should compensate on SetTime for the time spent in polkit
81 * figure out what to do with libmount and utab?
83 * We really should have a FOREACH macro to iterate through inotify events we read, similar to KDBUS_FOREACH_ITEM
85 * figure out when we can use the coarse timers
87 * sd-resolve: drop res_query wrapping, people should call via the bus to resolved instead
89 * add "systemctl start -v foobar.service" that shows logs of a service
90 while the start command runs. This is non-trivial to do without
91 races though, since we should flush out all journal messages before
92 returning from the "systemctl stop".
94 * 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
96 * timesyncd + resolved: add ugly bus calls to set NTP and DNS servers per-interface, for usage by NM
98 * networkd-wait-online really should have a timeout by default
100 * 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
102 * machined: add an API so that libvirt-lxc can inform us about network interfaces being removed or added to an existing machine
104 * maybe add support for specifier expansion in user.conf, specifically DefaultEnvironment=
106 * code cleanup: retire FOREACH_WORD_QUOTED, port to unquote_first_word() loops instead
108 * introduce systemd-timesync-wait.service or so to sync on an NTP fix?
110 * systemd --user should issue sd_notify() upon reaching basic.target, not on becoming idle
112 * configure.ac pretends dbus was optional but actually hardcodes use of dbus' pkg-config file to determine various dbus dirs such as policy and activation dirs
114 * consider showing the unit names during boot up in the status output, not just the unit descriptions
116 * dhcp: do we allow configuring dhcp routes on interfaces that are not the one we got the dhcp info from?
118 * maybe allow timer units with an empty Units= setting, so that they
119 can be used for resuming the system but nothing else.
121 * what to do about udev db binary stability for apps? (raw access is not an option)
123 * maybe provide an API to allow migration of foreign PIDs into existing scopes.
125 * maybe support a new very "soft" reboot mode, that simply kills all processes, disassembles everything, flushes /run and sysvipc, and then reexecs systemd again
127 * man: document that corrupted journal files is nothing to act on
129 * man: maybe use the word "inspect" rather than "introspect"?
131 * "machinectl list" should probably show columns for OS version and IP addresses
133 * systemctl: if some operation fails, show log output?
135 * systemctl edit: add commented help text to the end, like git commit
137 * refcounting in sd-resolve is borked
139 * exponential backoff in timesyncd and resolved when we cannot reach a server
141 * tmpfiles: port to unquote_many_words(), similar to sysusers
143 * unquote_many_words() should probably be used by a lot of code that
144 currently uses FOREACH_WORD and friends. For example, most conf
145 parsing callbacks should use it.
147 * merge ~/.local/share and ~/.local/lib into one similar /usr/lib and /usr/share....
149 * systemd.show_status= should probably have a mode where only failed
153 - add LLDP client side support
154 - the DHCP lease data (such as NTP/DNS) is still made available when
155 a carrier is lost on a link. It should be removed instantly.
156 - .network setting that allows overriding of the hostname to send to the dhcp server
157 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-July/021550.html
158 - expose in the API the following bits:
159 - option 15, domain name and/or option 119, search list
160 - option 12, host name and/or option 81, fqdn
161 - option 100, 101, timezone
162 - option 123, 144, geolocation
163 - option 252, configure http proxy (PAC/wpad)
164 - networkd's dhcp server should transparently pass on the DNS and
165 NTP server list it got from user configuration and its dhcp client
166 to clients. It should also pass on its own timezone information.
167 - provide a way to define a per-network interface default metric value
168 for all routes to it. possibly a second default for DHCP routes.
169 - allow Name= to be specified repeatedly in the [Match] section. Maybe also
170 support Name=foo*|bar*|baz ?
173 - put networkd events and rtnl events at a higher priority, so that
174 we always process them before we process client requests
176 - use base64 for key presentation?
177 - add display of private key types (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4034#appendix-A.1.1)?
178 - add nice formatting of DNS timestamps
183 - DNS-SD service registration from socket units
187 - maybe randomize DNS UDP source ports
188 - maybe compare query section of DNS replies
190 * Allow multiple ExecStart= for all Type= settings, so that we can cover rescue.service nicely
192 * Add a new verb "systemctl top"
194 * add new gpt type for btrfs volumes
196 * support empty /etc boots nicely:
197 - nspawn/gpt-generator: introduce new gpt partition type for /usr
198 - fstab-generator: support systemd.volatile=yes|no|state on the kernel cmdline, too, similar to nspawn's --volatile=
200 * generator that automatically discovers btrfs subvolumes, identifies their purpose based on some xattr on them.
202 * timer units: actually add extra delays to timer units with high AccuracySec values, don't start them already when we are awake...
204 * a way for container managers to turn off getty starting via $container_headless= or so...
206 * figure out a nice way how we can let the admin know what child/sibling unit causes cgroup membership for a specific unit
208 * mount_cgroup_controllers(): symlinks need to get the label applied
210 * For timer units: add some mechanisms so that timer units that trigger immediately on boot do not have the services
211 they run added to the initial transaction and thus confuse Type=idle.
213 * 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)
215 * sd-event: generate a failure of a default event loop is executed out-of-thread
217 * add bus api to query unit file's X fields.
219 * consider adding RuntimeDirectoryUser= + RuntimeDirectoryGroup=
221 * sd-event: define more intervals where we will shift wakeup intervals around in, 1h, 6h, 24h, ...
223 * gpt-auto-generator:
224 - Support LUKS for root devices
225 - Define new partition type for encrypted swap? Support probed LUKS for encrypted swap?
226 - Make /home automount rather than mount?
228 * add generator that pulls in systemd-network from containers when
229 CAP_NET_ADMIN is set, more than the loopback device is defined, even
230 when it is otherwise off
232 * MessageQueueMessageSize= and RLimitFSIZE= (and suchlike) should use parse_iec_size().
234 * "busctl status" works only as root on dbus1, since we cannot read
237 * implement Distribute= in socket units to allow running multiple
238 service instances processing the listening socket, and open this up
241 * socket units: support creating sockets in different namespace,
242 opening it up for JoinsNamespaceOf=. This would require to fork off
243 a tiny process that joins the namespace and creates/binds the socket
244 and passes this back to PID1 via SCM_RIGHTS. This also could be used
245 to allow Chown/chgrp on sockets without requiring NSS in PID 1.
247 * New service property: maximum CPU and wallclock runtime for a service
249 * introduce bus call FreezeUnit(s, b), as well as "systemctl freeze
250 $UNIT" and "systemctl thaw $UNIT" as wrappers around this. The calls
251 should SIGSTOP all unit processes in a loop until all processes of
252 it are fully stopped. This can later be used for app management by
253 desktop UIs such as gnome-shell to freeze apps that are not visible
254 on screen, not unlike how job control works on the shell
257 - manager property enumeration was broken when systemd moved to /usr/lib/
260 - implement per-slice CPUFairScheduling=1 switch
261 - handle jointly mounted controllers correctly
262 - introduce high-level settings for RT budget, swappiness
263 - how to reset dynamically changed unit cgroup attributes sanely?
264 - when reloading configuration, apply new cgroup configuration
265 - when recursively showing the cgroup hierarchy, optionally also show
266 the hierarchies of child processes
269 - allow creating auxiliary units with the same call
270 - add field to transient units that indicate whether systemd or somebody else saves/restores its settings, for integration with libvirt
271 - ensure scope units may be started only a single time
273 * Automatically configure swap partition to use for hibernation by looking for largest swap partition on the root disk?
275 * when we detect low battery and no AC on boot, show pretty splash and refuse boot
277 * machined, localed: when we try to kill an empty cgroup, generate an ESRCH error over the bus
279 * libsystemd-journal, libsystemd-login, libudev: add calls to easily attach these objects to sd-event event loops
281 * be more careful what we export on the bus as (usec_t) 0 and (usec_t) -1
283 * unify dispatch table in systemctl_main() and friends
285 * 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
287 * After coming back from hibernation reset hibernation swap partition using the /dev/snapshot ioctl APIs
289 * If we try to find a unit via a dangling symlink, generate a clean
290 error. Currently, we just ignore it and read the unit from the search
293 * refuse boot if /etc/os-release is missing or /etc/machine-id cannot be set up
295 * btrfs raid assembly: some .device jobs stay stuck in the queue
297 * make sure gdm does not use multi-user-x but the new default X configuration file, and then remove multi-user-x from systemd
299 * man: the documentation of Restart= currently is very misleading and suggests the tools from ExecStartPre= might get restarted.
301 * load .d/*.conf dropins for device units
303 * allow implementation of InaccessibleDirectories=/ plus
304 ReadOnlyDirectories=... for whitelisting files for a service.
307 - make dsrt happy, and change userspace header for kdbus to yyyyuta{tv}v
308 - kdbus: PID/TID goes missing for method calls from outside the PID namespace?
309 - kdbus: the kernel should not allow messages to be delivered that have a reply serial != 0, reply-expect unset, but no appropriate window
310 - kdbus: timestamps on kernel's NameOwnerChanged messages?
311 - kdbus' busnames.target should get pulled in by basic.target
312 - Ignore .busname units on classic D-Bus boots, systemd-resolved cannot be started on kdbus
313 without the active policy and should get a Wants=org.freedesktop.resolve1.busname to
315 - port to sd-resolve for connecting to TCP dbus servers
316 - kdbus: maybe add controlling tty and ppid metadata fields
317 - 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
318 - when kdbus does not take our message without memfds, try again with memfds
319 - introduce sd_bus_emit_object_added()/sd_bus_emit_object_removed() that automatically includes the build-in interfaces in the list
320 - see if we can drop more message validation on the sending side
321 - add API to clone sd_bus_message objects
322 - make AddMatch calls on dbus1 transports async?
323 - kdbus: matches against source or destination pids for an "strace -p"-like feel. Problem: The PID info needs to be available in userspace too...
324 - longer term: priority inheritance
327 - NameLost/NameAcquired obsolete
330 - update systemd.special(7) to mention that dbus.socket is only about the compatibility socket now
331 - test bloom filter generation indexes
332 - bus-proxy: when passing messages from kdbus, make sure we properly
333 handle the case where a large number of fds is appended that we
334 cannot pass into sendmsg() of the AF_UNIX sokcet (which only accepts
336 - kdbus: introduce a concept of "send-only" connections
337 - 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.
340 - allow multiple signal handlers per signal?
341 - document chaining of signal handler for SIGCHLD and child handlers
343 * in the final killing spree, detect processes from the root directory, and
344 complain loudly if they have argv[0][0] == '@' set.
345 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=961044
347 * investigate endianness issues of UUID vs. GUID
349 * dbus: when a unit failed to load (i.e. is in UNIT_ERROR state), we
350 should be able to safely try another attempt when the bus call LoadUnit() is invoked.
352 * add a pam module that passes the hdd passphrase into the PAM stack and then expires it, for usage by gdm auto-login.
354 * add a pam module that on password changes updates any LUKS slot where the password matches
356 * maybe add a generator that looks for "systemd.run=" on the kernel cmdline for container usercases...
358 * cgtop: make cgtop useful in a container
361 - add 'set -e' to scripts in test/
362 - make stuff in test/ work with separate output dir
364 * seems that when we follow symlinks to units we prefer the symlink
365 destination path over /etc and /usr. We should not do that. Instead
366 /etc should always override /run+/usr and also any symlink
369 * when isolating, try to figure out a way how we implicitly can order
370 all units we stop before the isolating unit...
372 * teach ConditionKernelCommandLine= globs or regexes (in order to match foobar={no,0,off})
374 * after all byte-wise realloc() is slow, even on glibc, so i guess we
375 need manual exponential loops after all
377 * BootLoaderSpec: Clarify that the kernel has to be in $BOOT. Clarify
378 that the boot loader should be installed to the ESP. Define a way
379 how an installer can figure out whether a BLS compliant boot loader
382 * think about requeuing jobs when daemon-reload is issued? usecase:
383 the initrd issues a reload after fstab from the host is accessible
384 and we might want to requeue the mounts local-fs acquired through
387 * systemd-inhibit: make taking delay locks useful: support sending SIGINT or SIGTERM on PrepareForSleep()
389 * journal-or-kmsg is currently broken? See reverted commit 4a01181e460686d8b4a543b1dfa7f77c9e3c5ab8.
391 * remove any syslog support from log.c -- we probably cannot do this before split-off udev is gone for good
393 * shutdown logging: store to EFI var, and store to USB stick?
395 * write UI tool that pops up emergency messages from the journal as notification
397 * think about window-manager-run-as-user-service problem: exit 0 → activate shutdown.target; exit != 0 → restart service
399 * merge unit_kill_common() and unit_kill_context()
401 * introduce ExecCondition= in services
404 - honor language efi variables for default language selection (if there are any?)
405 - honor timezone efi variables for default timezone selection (if there are any?)
406 - change bootctl to be backed by systemd-bootd to control temporary and persistent default boot goal plus efi variables
408 * maybe do not install getty@tty1.service symlink in /etc but in /usr?
410 * re-enable "make check" for gtk-doc (broken for unknown reason)
412 * fstab: add new mount option x-systemd-after=/foobar/waldo to allow manual dependencies to other mount points
413 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=812826
415 * print a nicer explanation if people use variable/specifier expansion in ExecStart= for the first word
417 * mount: turn dependency information from /proc/self/mountinfo into dependency information between systemd units.
420 - logind: optionally, ignore idle-hint logic for autosuspend, block suspend as long as a session is around
421 - When we update the kernel all kind of hibernation should be prohibited until shutdown/reboot
422 - logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
423 - Add pretty name for seats in logind
424 - logind: allow showing logout dialog from system?
425 - we should probably handle SIGTERM/SIGINT to not leave dot files around, just in case
426 - session scopes/user unit: add RequiresMountsFor for the home directory of the user
427 - add Suspend() bus calls which take timestamps to fix double suspend issues when somebody hits suspend and closes laptop quickly.
428 - if pam_systemd is invoked by su from a process that is outside of a
429 any session we should probably just become a NOP, since that's
430 usually not a real user session but just some system code that just
432 - logind: make the Suspend()/Hibernate() bus calls wait for the for
433 the job to be completed. before returning, so that clients can wait
434 for "systemctl suspend" to finish to know when the suspending is
436 - logind: when the power button is pressed short, just popup a
437 logout dialog. If it is pressed for 1s, do the usual
438 shutdown. Inspiration are Macs here.
439 - logind: allow users to kill or lock their own sessions
440 - expose "Locked" property on logind sesison objects
441 - given that logind now lets PID 1 do all nasty work, we can
442 probably reduce the capability set it retains substantially.
443 (we need CAP_SYS_ADMIN for drmSetMaster(), so maybe not worth it)
444 - expose orientation sensors and tablet mode through logind
446 * exec: when deinitializating a tty device fix the perms and group, too, not only when initializing. Set access mode/gid to 0620/tty.
448 * service: watchdog logic: for testing purposes allow ping, but do not require pong
451 - consider introducing implicit _TTY= + _PPID= + _EUID= + _EGID= + _FSUID= + _FSGID= fields
452 - import and delete pstore filesystem content at startup
453 - journald: also get thread ID from client, plus thread name
454 - journal: when waiting for journal additions in the client always sleep at least 1s or so, in order to minimize wakeups
455 - add API to close/reopen/get fd for journal client fd in libsystemd-journal.
456 - fallback to /dev/log based logging in libsystemd-journal, if we cannot log natively?
457 - declare the local journal protocol stable in the wiki interface chart
458 - journal: reuse XZ context
459 - sd-journal: speed up sd_journal_get_data() with transparent hash table in bg
460 - journald: when dropping msgs due to ratelimit make sure to write
461 "dropped %u messages" not only when we are about to print the next
462 message that works, but alraedy after a short tiemout
463 - check if we can make journalctl by default use --follow mode inside of less if called without args?
464 - maybe add API to send pairs of iovecs via sd_journal_send
465 - journal: when writing journal auto-rotate if time jumps backwards
466 - journal: add a setgid "systemd-journal" utility to invoke from libsystemd-journal, which passes fds via STDOUT and does PK access
467 - journactl: support negative filtering, i.e. FOOBAR!="waldo",
468 and !FOOBAR for events without FOOBAR.
469 - journal: send out marker messages every now and then, and immediately sync with fdatasync() afterwards, in order to have hourly guaranteed syncs.
470 - 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.
471 - journal: find a way to allow dropping history early, based on priority, other rules
472 - journal: When used on NFS, check payload hashes
473 - journal live copy, based on libneon (client) and libmicrohttpd (server)
474 - journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
475 - refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
476 - journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
477 - journal: deal nicely with byte-by-byte copied files, especially regards header
478 - journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the components would fit
479 - Replace utmp, wtmp, btmp, and lastlog completely with journal
480 - journalctl: instead --after-cursor= maybe have a --cursor=XYZ+1 syntax?
481 - when a kernel driver logs in a tight loop, we should ratelimit that too.
482 - journald: optionally, log debug messages to /run but everything else to /var
483 - journald: when we drop syslog messages because the syslog socket is
484 full, make sure to write how many messages are lost as first thing
485 to syslog when it works again.
486 - journald: make sure ratelimit is actually really per-service with the new cgroup changes
487 - change systemd-journal-flush into a service that stays around during
488 boot, and causes the journal to be moved back to /run on shutdown,
489 so that we do not keep /var busy. This needs to happen synchronously,
490 hence doing this via signals is not going to work.
491 - optionally support running journald from the command line for testing purposes in external projects
492 - journald: allow per-priority and per-service retention times when rotating/vacuuming
493 - journald: make use of uid-range.h to managed uid ranges to split
495 - journalctl: add the ability to look for the most recent process of a binary. journalctl /usr/bin/X11 --pid=-1 or so...
496 - improve journalctl performance by loading journal files
497 lazily. Encode just enough information in the file name, so that we
498 do not have to open it to know that it is not interesting for us, for
499 the most common operations.
502 - document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fields in
503 [Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
504 - man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
505 - document the exit codes when services fail before they are exec()ed
506 - document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
507 - document in wiki how to map ical recurrence events to systemd timer unit calendar specifications
508 - add a man page containing packaging guidelines and recommending usage of things like Documentation=, PrivateTmp=, PrivateNetwork= and ReadOnlyDirectories=/etc /usr.
509 - document systemd-journal-flush.service properly
510 - documentation: recommend to connect the timer units of a service to the service via Also= in [Install]
511 - man: document the very specific env the shutdown drop-in tools live in
512 - man: extend runlevel(8) to mention that runlevels suck, and are dead. Maybe add runlevel(7) with a note about that too
513 - man: add more examples to man pages
514 - man: maybe sort directives in man pages, and take sections from --help and apply them to man too
517 - systemctl list-jobs - show dependencies
518 - add systemctl switch to dump transaction without executing it
519 - Add a verbose mode to "systemctl start" and friends that explains what is being done or not done
520 - "systemctl disable" on a static unit prints no message and does
521 nothing. "systemctl enable" does nothing, and gives a bad message
522 about it. Should fix both to print nice actionable messages.
523 - print nice message from systemctl --failed if there are no entries shown, and hook that into ExecStartPre of rescue.service/emergency.service
524 - add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
525 - systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into does not exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
526 - systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
527 - support "systemctl stop foobar@.service" to stop all units matching a certain template
528 - Something is wrong with symlink handling of "autovt@.service" in "systemctl list-unit-files"
529 - better error message if you run systemctl without systemd running
530 - systemctl status output should should include list of triggering units and their status
533 - "systemctl mask" should find all names by which a unit is accessible
534 (i.e. by scanning for symlinks to it) and link them all to /dev/null
535 - systemctl list-unit-files should list generated files (and probably with a new state "generated" for them, or so)
538 - timer units should get the ability to trigger when:
539 o CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (TFD_TIMER_CANCEL_ON_SET)
541 - Support 2012-02~4 as syntax for specifying the fourth to last day of the month.
542 - calendarspec: support value ranges with ".." notation. Example: 2013-4..8-1
543 - 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
544 - Modulate timer frequency based on battery state
546 * add libsystemd-password or so to query passwords during boot using the password agent logic
548 * 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().
550 * fedup: add --unit to systemctl switch-root somehow
551 * fedup: do not delete initrd on switch-root
554 * clean up date formatting and parsing so that all absolute/relative timestamps we format can also be parsed
556 * on shutdown: move utmp, wall, audit logic all into PID 1 (or logind?), get rid of systemd-update-utmp-runlevel
558 * make repeated alt-ctrl-del presses printing a dump, or even force a reboot without
559 waiting for the timeout
561 * hostnamed: before returning information from /etc/machine-info.conf check the modification data and reread. Similar for localed, ...
563 * currently x-systemd.timeout is lost in the initrd, since crypttab is copied into dracut, but fstab is not
566 - bind mount read-only the cgroup tree higher than nspawn
567 - refuses to boot containers without /etc/machine-id (OK?), and with empty /etc/machine-id (not OK).
568 - support taking a btrfs snapshot at startup and dropping it afterwards
569 - introduce machines.target to order after all nspawn instances
570 - systemd-nspawn@.service should fail if some nspawn arg is invalid, with Type=notify
571 - PID 1 doesn't apply nspawns devices cgroup policy
574 - cryptsetup-generator: allow specification of passwords in crypttab itself
575 - move cryptsetup key caching into kernel keyctl?
576 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54982
577 - support rd.luks.allow-discards= kernel cmdline params in cryptsetup generator
579 * hw watchdog: optionally try to use the preset watchdog timeout instead of always overriding it
580 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54712
582 * after deserializing sockets in socket.c we should reapply sockopts and things
584 * make timer units go away after they elapsed
586 * move PID 1 segfaults to /var/lib/systemd/coredump?
588 * create /sbin/init symlinks from the build system
590 * allow writing multiple conditions in unit files on one line
592 * MountFlags=shared acts as MountFlags=slave right now.
594 * drop PID 1 reloading, only do reexecing (difficult: Reload()
595 currently is properly synchronous, Reexec() is weird, because we
596 cannot delay the response properly until we are back, so instead of
597 being properly synchronous we just keep open the fd and close it
598 when done. That means clients do not get a successful method reply,
599 but much rather a disconnect on success.
601 * properly handle loop back mounts via fstab, especially regards to fsck/passno
603 * initialize the hostname from the fs label of /, if /etc/hostname does not exist?
605 * rename "userspace" to "core-os"
607 * load-fragment: when loading a unit file via a chain of symlinks
608 verify that it is not masked via any of the names traversed.
610 * introduce Type=pid-file
612 * change Requires=basic.target to RequisiteOverride=basic.target
614 * when breaking cycles drop sysv services first, then services from /run, then from /etc, then from /usr
616 * automount: implement expire:
617 - set superblock timeout AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_TIMEOUT_CMD
618 - periodically run AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_EXPIRE_CMD
619 - every timeout/4 (original autofs logic)
620 - blocking, needs a thread
622 - receive expire packet on pipe if kernel tells the timeout is over
624 - answer expire packet on pipe with AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_{READY,FAIL}_CMD
625 - AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_EXPIRE_CMD returns
627 * ExecOnFailure=/usr/bin/foo
632 - add trigger --subsystem-match=usb/usb_device device
633 - reimport udev db after MOVE events for devices without dev_t
635 * 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
637 * introduce mix of BindTo and Requisite
639 * There's currently no way to cancel fsck (used to be possible via C-c or c on the console)
641 * add option to sockets to avoid activation. Instead just drop packets/connections, see http://cyberelk.net/tim/2012/02/15/portreserve-systemd-solution/
643 * default unix qlen is too small (10). bump sysctl? add sockopt?
645 * save coredump in Windows/Mozilla minidump format
647 * support crash reporting operation modes (https://live.gnome.org/GnomeOS/Design/Whiteboards/ProblemReporting)
649 * default to actual 32-bit PIDs, via /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max
651 * be able to specify a forced restart of service A where service B depends on, in case B
652 needs to be auto-respawned?
654 * when a bus name of a service disappears from the bus make sure to queue further activation requests
657 - apply "x" on "D" too (see patch from William Douglas)
659 * for services: do not set $HOME in services unless requested
661 * hide PAM options in fragment parser when compile time disabled
663 * when we automatically restart a service, ensure we restart its rdeps, too.
665 * allow Type=simple with PIDFile=
666 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=723942
668 * move PAM code into its own binary
670 * implement Register= switch in .socket units to enable registration
671 in Avahi, RPC and other socket registration services.
673 * make sure systemd-ask-password-wall does not shutdown systemd-ask-password-console too early
675 * add ReloadSignal= for configuring a reload signal to use
677 * verify that the AF_UNIX sockets of a service in the fs still exist
678 when we start a service in order to avoid confusion when a user
679 assumes starting a service is enough to make it accessible
681 * Make it possible to set the keymap independently from the font on
682 the kernel cmdline. Right now setting one resets also the other.
684 * and a dbus call to generate target from current state
686 * GC unreferenced jobs (such as .device jobs)
688 * write blog stories about:
689 - hwdb: what belongs into it, lsusb

708 * allow port=0 in .socket units
710 * recreate systemd's D-Bus private socket file on SIGUSR2
712 * Support --test based on current system state
714 * investigate whether the gnome pty helper should be moved into systemd, to provide cgroup support.
716 * maybe introduce ExecRestartPre=
718 * dot output for --test showing the 'initial transaction'
720 * fingerprint.target, wireless.target, gps.target, netdevice.target

759 - export timezone information
760 - support RFC4702 (pass FQDN)
763 - add functions to set previously stored IPv6 addresses on startup and get
764 them at shutdown; store them in client->ia_na
765 - write more test cases
766 - implement and do duplicate address detection, see rfc 4862, 5.4.
767 - implement reconfigure support, see 5.3., 15.11. and 22.20.

783 * fix alsa mixer restore to not print error when no config is stored
785 * make cryptsetup lower --iter-time
787 * patch kernel for xattr support in /dev, /proc/, /sys?
789 * kernel: add device_type = "fb", "fbcon" to class "graphics"
791 * drop accountsservice's StandardOutput=syslog and Type=dbus fields
793 * dbus upstream still refers to dbus.target and should not
795 * dbus: in fedora, make /var/lib/dbus/machine-id a symlink to /etc/machine-id
797 * add "# export SYSTEMD_PAGER=" to bash login
799 * /usr/bin/service should actually show the new command line
801 * 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=
803 * fedora: F20: go timer units all the way, leave cron.daily for cron
805 * neither pkexec nor sudo initialize environ[] from the PAM environment?
807 * fedora: update policy to declare access mode and ownership of unit files to root:root 0644, and add an rpmlint check for it
809 * register catalog database signature as file magic
811 * zsh shell completion:
812 - <command> <verb> -<TAB> should complete options, but currently does not
813 - systemctl add-wants,add-requires, edit
818 * look for close() vs. close_nointr() vs. close_nointr_nofail()
820 * check for strerror(r) instead of strerror(-r)
822 * Use PR_SET_PROCTITLE_AREA if it becomes available in the kernel

830 * link up selected blog stories from man pages and unit files Documentation= fields
832 Scheduled for removal or fixing:
834 * xxxOverridable dependencies (probably: fix)
