3 * swap units that are activated by one name but shown in the kernel under another are semi-broken
5 * isolate multi-user.target doesn't start a getty@tty1 if we run it from graphical.target
7 * NFS, networkmanager ordering issue (PENDING)
9 * add fstab fields to add wait timeouts, change Wants to Requires by local-fs.target
11 * hook emergency.target into local-fs.target in some way as OnFailure with isolate
13 * save/restore tool for SysV as requested by FPC (PENDING)
15 * bind mounts are ignored
17 * 0595f9a1c182a84581749823ef47c5f292e545f9 is borked, freezes shutdown
18 (path: after installing inotify watches, recheck file again to fix race)
20 * NM should pull in network.target, ntpd should pull in rtc-set.target.
22 * bluetooth should be possible to disable
24 * fix alsa mixer restore to not print error when no config is stored
28 * add bimft_misc client tools
30 * in pam_systemd: don't rely on /proc/self/loginuid in a container
32 * take BSD file lock on tty devices when using them?
34 * tmpfiles should allow two identical lines
35 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=690253
37 * avoid any flag files, or readahead files in /, we need to support r/o /
38 or / on tmpfs like Android setups.
40 * teach dbus to activate all services it finds in /etc/systemd/services/org-*.service
42 * document default dependencies
44 * support systemd.whitelist=/systemd.blacklist= on the kernel command
47 * Find a way to replace /var/run, /var/lock directories with
48 symlinks during an RPM package upgrade (filesystem.rpm or systemd.rpm).
49 We soon want to get rid of var-run.mount var-lock.mount units.
51 * when key file cannot be found, read it from kbd in cryptsetup
53 * get rid of random file name in generator directory?
54 /run/systemd/generator-IH1vFu
56 * fix SD_WARNING syslog stuff in src/sd-daemon.h to include the
57 LOG_DAEMON(3) facility value. Never use the LOG_KERNEL(0) facility.
59 * add switch to systemctl to show enabled but not running services. Or
60 another switch that shows service that have been running since
61 booting but aren't running anymore.
63 * reuse mkdtemp namespace dirs in /tmp?
65 * don't strip facility from kmsg log messages as soon as that is possible:
66 http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=9d90c8d9cde929cbc575098e825d7c29d9f45054
68 * recreate systemd's D-Bus private socket file on SIGUSR2
70 * be more specific what failed:
72 Unmounting file systems.
73 Not all file systems unmounted, 1 left.
75 Detaching loop devices.
77 Cannot finalize remaining file systems and devices, trying to kill remaining processes.
78 Unmounting file systems.
79 Not all file systems unmounted, 1 left.
80 Cannot finalize remaining file systems and devices, giving up.
83 * check for compiled-in, but not active selinux, and don't print any warnings
84 about policy loading. Probably check for available selinux in /proc/filesystems,
85 and check for active selinux with getcon_raw() == "kernel"
87 * optionally create watched directories in .path units
89 * Support --test based on current system state
91 * consider services with no [Install] section and stored in /lib enabled by "systemctl is-enabled"
93 * consider services with any kind of link in /etc/systemd/system enabled
95 * show failure error string in "systemctl status"
97 * make sure timeouts are applied to Type=oneshot services.
99 * Maybe implement "systemctl mask" and "systemctl unmask", but not
100 document it? When doing that add switch to make this temporary by
101 placing mask links in /dev.
102 Consider moving the actual fs operations into systemd behind a D-Bus
103 interface, to make namespaces/containers/remote connections work properly.
105 * detect LXC environment
107 * invoke vhangup() before and after invoking getty
108 http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=3c95c985fa91ecf6a0e29622bbdd13dcfc5ce9f1
110 * support "auto" and "comment=systemd.automount" at the same time for an fstab entry
112 * Maybe store in unit files whether a service should be enabled by default on package installation
113 (belongs into a distro pattern though, not in an upstream package's service file)
115 * perhaps add "systemctl reenable" as combination of "systemctl disable" and "systemctl enable"
117 * need a way to apply mount options of api vfs from systemd unit files
118 (or some other modern source?) instead of fstab
120 * maybe introduce ExecRestartPre=
122 * figure out what happened to bluez patch
124 * Patch systemd-fsck to use -C and pass console fd to it
126 * support remote/ssh systemctl/systemadm, and local privileged access → dbus patches need to be merged
128 * configurable jitter for timer events
130 * Support ProcessNeededForShutdown=true to allow stuff like mdmon
131 to be killed very late after the rootfs is read only (?)
133 * Integrate "mdadm --wait-clean". Maybe just let SIGTERM to mdmon trigger the
136 * dot output for --test showing the 'initial transaction'
138 * calendar time support in timer, iCalendar semantics for the timer stuff (RFC2445)
139 - check timerfd() patch: http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/11/23/290
142 - get PR_SET_ANCHOR merged: http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/2/2/165
145 - provide CK functionality
146 - start getty only when actual vt switch happens (same model as
147 socket on-demand activation). allocate the next free tty and
148 start a getty there. this way, pressing alt-f[1-12] will switch
149 through running X and getty sessions, and any unallocated
150 activated tty will start a new getty. the hardcoding of
151 getty[1-6] will entirely go away.
152 - http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/gregkh/tty-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=fbc92a3455577ab17615cbcb91826399061bd789
154 * implicitly import "defaults" settings file into all types
156 * port over to LISTEN_FDS/LISTEN_PID:
158 - rpcbind (/var/run/rpcbind.sock!) HAVEPATCH
162 - libvirtd (/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock-ro)
163 - bluetoothd (/var/run/sdp! @/org/bluez/audio!)
166 * fingerprint.target, wireless.target, gps.target
168 * set_put(), hashmap_put() return values check. i.e. == 0 doesn't free()!
170 * io priority during initialization
172 * if a service fails too often, make the service enter failed mode, and the socket, too.
174 * systemctl list-jobs - show dependencies
176 * accountsservice is borked
178 * auditd service files
180 * add systemctl switch to dump transaction without executing it
182 * suspend, resume support?
184 * readahead: btrfs/LVM SSD detection
186 * add separate man page for [Install] settings
188 * allow runtime changing of log level and target
192 * udisks should not use udisks-part-id, instead use blkid. also not probe /dev/loopxxx
194 * snd-seq should go, https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=676095
196 * gnome-shell python script/glxinfo/is-accelerated must die
198 * make cryptsetup lower --iter-time
200 * patch kernel for xattr support in /dev, /proc/, /sys and /sys/fs/cgroup.
202 * patch kernel for cpu feature modalias for autoloading aes/kvm/...
203 http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/ak/linux-misc-2.6.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/cpuid-match
204 (Rafael J. Wysocki's sysdev rework is on the way. After that CPUs can be exported a proper bus.)
206 * procps, psmisc, sysvinit-tools, hostname → util-linux-ng

229 * look for close() vs. close_nointr() vs. close_nointr_nofail()
231 * check for strerror(r) instead of strerror(-r)
233 * Use PR_SET_PROCTITLE_AREA if it becomes available in the kernel
235 * %m in printf() instead of strerror();
239 * CFLAGS="-Wl,--gc-sections -Wl,--print-gc-sections -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections"
