* swap units that are activated by one name but shown in the kernel under another are semi-broken
-* make anaconda write timeout=0 for encrypted devices
-
* Dangling symlinks of .automount unit files in .wants/ directories, set up
automount points even when the original .automount file did not exist
anymore. Only the .mount unit was still around.
* properly handle .mount unit state tracking when two mount points are stacked one on top of another on the exact same mount point.
-F18:
+* stop importing kernel exported env variables. The utterly broken logic in
+ the kernel exports every kernel command line option which is not recognized
+ as a built-in module option as an env variable. Systemd should not pass-on
+ that nonsense, a kernel command line option is a command line option not an
+ env variable:
+ $ cat /proc/252/environ
+ initrd=\6a9857a393724b7a981ebb5b8495b9ea\3.10.0-2.fc20.x86_64\initrd
-* Retest multi-seat
+Fedora 19:
-Features:
+* external: maybe it is time to patch procps so that "ps" links to
+ libsystemd-logind to print a pretty service name, seat name, session
+ name in its output. Currently it only shows cgroup membership, but
+ that's sometimes kinda hard to parse for a human.
-* drop the TARGET_xxx stuff as far as possible
+* cgroup attrs:
+ - update dbus interface docs in wiki
-* logind: optionally, ignore idle-hint logic for autosuspend, block suspend as long as a session is around
+* localed:
+ - localectl: support new converted x11→console keymaps
-* service: when killing a service with SIGKILL always kill all processes, even if for SIGTERM we only killed the main process
+* when installing fedora with yum --installroot /var/run is a directory, not a symlink
-* rewrite #!/usr/bin/python line in python scripts to use @PYTHON@ instead
+CGroup Rework Completion:
-* exec: when deinitializating a tty device fix the perms and group, too, not only when initializing. Set access mode/gid to 0620/tty.
+* introduce "mainpid" for scopes
-* udev: only reset mode/gid of /dev/tty1 and friends on ACTION=add, not ACTION=changed
+* implement system-wide DefaultCPUAccounting=1 switch (and similar for blockio, memory?)
-* DeviceAllow/DeviceDeny: disallow everything by default, but whitelist /dev/zero, /dev/null and friends
+* implement per-slice CPUFairScheduling=1 switch
-* service: watchdog logic: for testing purposes allow ping, but do not require pong
+* handle jointly mounted controllers correctly
-* kill insserv code, people should really use a generator for this
+* logind: implement session kill exceptions
-* journald: when dropping msgs due to ratelimit make sure to write
- "dropped %u messages" not only when we are about to print the next
- message that works, but alraedy after a short tiemout
+* make BlockIODeviceWeight=, BlockIODeviceBandwidth= runtime settable
-* journald: also get thread ID from client, plus thread name
+* introduce high-level settings for RT budget, swappiness
-* check if we can make journalctl by default use --follow mode inside of less if called without args?
+* man: document new bus apis
-* Add a verbose mode to "systemctl start" and friends that explains what is being done or not done
+* Send SIGHUP and SIGTERM in session scopes
-* journal is not closed properly at shutdown when run in a container?
+Features:
-* All log messages generated from socket.c, service.c, ... should
- include _SYSTEMD_UNIT= fields so that "systemctl status" can show
- them along with the unit
+* add rpm macros for applying tmpfiles --create after package installation
-* journal: when waiting for journal additions in the client always sleep at least 1s or so, in order to minimize wakeups
+* 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
-* When shutdown.target is queued begin with an asynchronous sync()?
+* journalctl: add an output mode that looks like classic /var/log/messages, but also outputs the cursor of the last entry so that people can write scripts that can run iteratively and always process data that has been added since the last time.
-* add API to close/reopen/get fd for journal client fd in libsystemd-journal.
+* when a kernel driver logs in a tight loop we should ratelimit that too.
-* maybe add API to send pairs of iovecs via sd_journal_send
+* journald: optionally, when messages with a high log prioerity are logged, sync() immeidately.
-* fallback to /dev/log based logging in libsystemd-journal, if we can't log natively?
+* introduce %v resolving to the string returned by "uname -r"
-* declare the local journal protocol stable in the wiki interface chart
+* systemctl list-unit-files should list generated files (and probably with a new state "generated" for them, or so)
-* journal: reuse XZ context
+* Get rid of systemd-sysv:
+ https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Toshio/Systemd_Convert_draft
-* sd-journal: speed up sd_journal_get_data() with transparent hash table in bg
+* do we really need both hasprefix() and startswith()?
-* introduce ntp.service (or suchlike) as symlink that is used to arbitrate between various NTP implementations
+* when a kernel driver logs in a tight loop we should ratelimit that too.
-* timer units should get the ability to trigger when:
- - CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (TFD_TIMER_CANCEL_ON_SET)
- - DST changes
+* journald: when we drop syslog messages because the syslog socket is
+ full, make sure to write how many messages are lost as first thing
+ to syslog when it works again.
-* update the kernel's TZ (sys_tz) when DST changes
+* prohibit Restart= set with Type=oneshot
-* sync down the system time to the RTC when:
- - CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (the user explicitely requested a time set)
- - DST/timezone changes && ntp is active && RTC-in-localtime (never do it without ntp)
- This takes care of syncing ntpdate updates to the RTC, and DST updates for localtime
- mode, it will never touch the RTC if the no reliable time source is active or the
- user did not request anything like it.
+* man: the documentation of Restart= currently is very misleading and suggests the tools from ExecStartPre= might get restarted.
-* When we begin with system shutdown all kind of suspend/hibernation should be prohibited until shutdown/reboot
+* load .d/*.conf dropins for device units
-* When we update the kernel all kind of hibernation should be prohibited until shutdown/reboot
+* move systemctl set-log-level to systemd-analyze?
-* hwdb:
- - implement conditional properties (dmi matches)
- - hwdb --filter=ID_DRIVE_*
- - find out what to do for blockdevs and skipping scsi modaliases
- - move writing code to src/libudev/libudev-hwdb-private.c
+* move "systemctl dump" to systemd-analyze
-* if booted in "quiet" mode, and an error happens, turn on status output again, so that the emergency mode isn't totally surprising
+* add a fixed dbus path for "my own unit", "my own session", ... to PID1, logind, ...
-* localectl: add listing support for X11 keymaps, by parsing /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/xorg.lst
+* service_coldplug() appears to reinstall the wrong stop timeout watch?
-* libunwind support for coredump pattern hook, and includes this in
- the message for coredumps. After all, libunwind is now capable to
- unwind coredumps since a few weeks ago. This probably requires that
- we have nice support for multi-line messages on display in logs-show.c.
+* transient units: allow creating auxiliary units with the same call
-* figure out relation of --all and --full in the various tools
+* how to reset dynamically changed attributes sanely?
-* journal: when writing journal auto-rotate if time jumps backwards
+* when reloading configuration, apply new cgroup configuration
-* introduce new "journal" group in place of adm? introduce groups for the various mini daemons?
+* journald: make sure ratelimit is actually really per-service with the new cgroup changes
-* journal: add a setgid "adm" utility to invoke from libsystemd-journal, which passes fds via STDOUT and does PK access
+* libsystemd-logind: sd_session_is_active() and friends: verify
+ validity of session name before appending it to a path
-* link up selected blog stories from man pages and unit files Documentation= fields?
+* gparted needs to disable auto-activation of mount units somehow, or
+ maybe we should stop doing auto-activiation of this after boot
+ entirely. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=701676
-* journactl: support negative filtering, i.e. FOOBAR!="waldo",
- and !FOOBAR for events without FOOBAR.
+* when a service changes state make reflect that in the
+ RUNNING/LISTENING states of its socket
-* print nice message from systemctl --failed if there are no entries shown, and hook that into ExecStartPre of rescue.service/emergency.service
+* when recursively showing the cgroup hierarchy, optionally also show
+ the hierarchies of child processes
-* add libsystemd-password or so to query passwords during boot using the password agent logic
+* document logic of auto/noauto and fail/nofail in fstab in systemd.mount or systemd-fstab-generator man page
-* journal: when rotating, copy over old acls/access mode
+* we should properly escape ssh hostnames we add into dbus server strings
-* journal: document why we do not give ownership to journal files to the user that created them but use FS ACLs for that
+* something pulls in pcre as so dep into our daemons such as hostnamed.
-* journal: send out marker messages every now and then, and immediately sync with fdatasync() afterwards, in order to have hourly guaranteed syncs.
+* cgroup-agent: downgrade error messages
-* journal: when we haven't written anything in a while, sync to disk and mark file as offline, in order to be more often than not in a clean state
+* document systemd-journal-flush.service properly
-* 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.
+* chane systemd-journal-flush into a service that stays around during
+ boot, and causes the journal to be moved back to /run on shutdown,
+ so that we don't keep /var busy. This needs to happen synchronously,
+ hence doing this via signals is not going to work.
-* 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().
+* allow implementation of InaccessibleDirectories=/ plus
+ ReadOnlyDirectories=... for whitelisting files for a service.
-* fedup: add --unit to systemctl switch-root somehow
-* fedup: don't delete initrd on switch-root
-* fedup: generator
+* libsystemd-journal:
+ - return ECHILD as soon as somebody tries to reuse a journal object across a fork()
-* journal: find a way to allow dropping history early, based on priority, other rules
+* libsystemd-bus:
+ - default policy (allow uid == 0 and our own uid)
+ - enforce alignment of pointers passed in
+ - when kdbus doesn't take our message without memfds, try again with memfds
+ - implement translator service
+ - port systemd to new library
+ - implement busname unit type in systemd
+ - move to gvariant
+ - merge busctl into systemctl or so?
+ - synthesize sd_bus_message objects from kernel messages
+ - properly implement name registry ioctls for kdbus
+ - get rid of object hash table, use decision tree everyhwere instead?
+ - implement monitor logic
+ - object vtable logic
+ - longer term:
+ * priority queues
+ * priority inheritance
-* journal: When used on NFS, check payload hashes
+* in the final killing spree, detect processes from the root directory, and
+ complain loudly if they have argv[0][0] == '@' set.
+ https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=961044
-* journal: When used on NFS make sure wake up sd_journal_wait() every 2s, to handle missing inotify
+* add an option to nspawn that uses seccomp to make socket(AF_NETLINK,
+ SOCK_RAW, NETLINK_AUDIT) fail the the appropriate error code that
+ makes the audit userspace to think auditing is not available in the
+ kernel.
-* document that people can use file system ACLs to manage access to journal files, with example
+* Introduce a way how we can kill the main process of a service with KillSignal, but all processes with SIGKILL later on
+ https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=952634
-* timedated: export boolean that clarifies whether NTP is even available
+* maybe add a warning to the unit file parses whern the acces mode of unit files is non-sensical.
-* timedated: refuse time changes when NTP is on
+* investigate endianess issues of UUID vs. GUID
-* clean up date formatting and parsing so that all absolute/relative timestamps we format can also be parsed
+* dbus: when a unit failed to load (i.e. is in UNIT_ERROR state), we
+ should be able to safely try another attempt when the bus call LoadUnit() is invoked.
-* document unit_name_mangle()
+* if pam_systemd is invoked by su from a process that is outside of a
+ any session we should probably just become a NOP, since that's
+ usually not a real user session but just some system code that just
+ needs setuid().
-* add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
+* add a pam module that passes the hdd passphrase into the PAM stack and then expires it, for usage by gdm auto-login.
-* introduce generic AUGMENT_PID=, AUGMENT_DEVICE= fields
+* add a pam module that on password changes updates any LUKS slot where the password matches
-* deal with sendmail/postfix exclusivity
+* maybe add a generator that looks for "systemd.run=" on the kernel cmdline for container usercases...
-* systemctl enable: improve the success messages (i.e. more human readable, less shell-like)
+* timedatctl, localectl: possibly make some commands work without the daemon, for chroot situations...
-* systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into doesn't exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
+* logind: add Suspend() bus calls which take timestamps to fix double suspend issues when somebody hits suspend and closes laptop quickly.
-* on shutdown: move utmp, wall, audit logic all into PID 1 itself, get rid of systemd-update-utmp-runlevel
+* we need dynamic units
-* add "provisioning" instructions to setup an empty /etc + /var
- - used to setup a new container from a shared /usr
- - superset of tmpfiles model
- - instructions shipped by packages and stored in /usr/lib/
- - compose /etc/passwd and /etc/group, copy files
- - able to create uid + gid used by packages, for file ownership
+* cgtop: make cgtop useful in a container
-* make repeated alt-ctrl-del presses printing a dump, or even force a reboot without
- waiting for the timeout
+* test/:
+ - add 'set -e' to scripts in test/
+ - make stuff in test/ work with separate output dir
+ - remove all the duplicated code in test/
-* high level net_prio setting in execution context
+* suppress log output on shutdown when "quiet" is used
-* Introduce journalctl -b <nr> to show journal messages of a previous boot
+* systemctl delete x.snapshot leaves no trace in logs (at least at default level).
-* hostnamed: before returning information from /etc/machine-info.conf check the modification data and reread. Similar for localed, ...
+* make the coredump collector tool move itself into the user's cgroup
+ so that the coredump is properly written to the user's own journal
+ file.
-* currently x-systemd.timeout is lost in the initrd, since crypttab is copied into dracut, but fstab isn't
+* seems that when we follow symlinks to units we prefer the symlink
+ destination path over /etc and /usr. We shouldn't do that. Instead
+ /etc should always override /run+/usr and also any symlink
+ destination.
-* WorkingDirectory: support env var replacements like in ExecStart= so that people can use $HOME
+* remove duplicate default deps logic from fstab-generator vs. mount.c
-* refuse boot if /etc/machine-id is not useful (or set taint?)
+* when isolating, try to figure out a way how we implicitly can order
+ all units we stop before the isolating unit...
-* nspawn: consider changing users for -u with su, so that NSS resolving works correctly
+* teach udev + logind's uaccess to somehow handle the "dead" device nodes from:
+ /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/modules.devname
+ and apply ACLs to them if they have TAG=="uaccess" in udev rules.
-* nspawn: implement personality changes a la linux32(8)
+* add ConditionArchitecture= or so
-* cryptsetup-generator: warn if the password files are world-readable
+* teach ConditionKernelCommandLine= globs or regexes (in order to match foobar={no,0,off})
-* cryptsetup-generator: add RequiresMountsFor= to cryptseup service files referencing a file, similar for devices
+* Support SO_REUSEPORT with socket activation:
+ - Let systemd maintain a pool of servers.
+ - Use for seamless upgrades, by running the new server before stopping the
+ old.
-* cryptsetup-generator: allow specification of passwords in crypttab itself
+* after all byte-wise realloc() is slow, even on glibc, so i guess we
+ need manual exponential loops after all
-* document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fileds in
- [Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
+* BootLoaderSpec: drop allowing ext234 for $BOOT. Clarify that the
+ kernel has to be in $BOOT. Clarify that the boot loader should be
+ installed to the ESP. Define a way how an installer can figure out
+ whether a BLS compliant boot loader is installed.
-* systemctl: when powering down/suspending check for inhibitors, and warn.
+* man: remove .include documentation, and instead push people to use .d/*.conf
-* instantiated [Install] for target units
- https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54377
+* think about requeuing jobs when daemon-reload is issued? usecase:
+ the initrd issues a reload after fstab from the host is accessible
+ and we might want to requeue the mounts local-fs acquired through
+ that automatically.
-* move debug shell to tty6 and make sure this doesn't break the gettys on tty6
+* rework specifier logic so that we can distuingish OOM errors from other errors
-* move cryptsetup key caching into kernel keyctl?
- https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54982
+* systemd-inhibit: make taking delay locks useful: support sending SIGINT or SIGTERM on PrepareForSleep()
-* hw watchdog: optionally try to use the preset watchdog timeout instead of always overriding it
- https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54712
+* journal-or-kmsg is currently broken? See reverted commit 4a01181e460686d8b4a543b1dfa7f77c9e3c5ab8.
-* after deserializing sockets in socket.c we should reapply sockopts and things
+* remove any syslog support from log.c -- we probably can't do this before split-off udev is gone for good
-* make timer units go away after they elapsed
+* documentation: recommend to connect the timer units of a service to the service via Also= in [Install]
-* http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2012-September/006502.html
+* add a tool that lists active timer units plus their next elapstion and the time the units ran last
-* come up with a nice way to write queue/read_ahead_kb for a block device without interfering with readahead
+* man: document the very specific env the shutdown drop-in tools live in
-* journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
+* shutdown logging: store to EFI var, and store to USB stick?
-* move PID 1 segfaults to /var/lib/systemd/coredump?
+* man: extend runlevel(8) to mention that runlevels suck, and are dead. Maybe add runlevel(7) with a note about that too
-* Document word splitting syntax for ExecStart= and friends
+* systemctl: maybe add "systemctl add-wants" or so...
-* create /sbin/init symlinks from the build system
+* man: add more examples to man pages
-* Query Paul Moore about relabelling socket fds while they are open
+* man: maybe sort directives in man pages, and take sections from --help and apply them to man too
-* move keymaps to /usr/lib/... rather than /usr/lib/udev/...
+* write UI tool that pops up emergency messages from the journal as notification
-* journald: check whether it is OK if the client can still modify delivered journal entries
+* think about window-manager-run-as-user-service problem: exit 0 → activate shutdown.target; exit != 0 → restart service
-* journal live copy, based on libneon (client) and libmicrohttpd
+* msgcatalog determine default language of entries from the catalog
+ file name. i.e. foobar.de_DE.catalog would set the default entry
+ name for the entries to de_DE if they aren't explicitly suffixed
+ individually.
-* system-wide seccomp filter
+* use "log level" rather than "log priority" everywhere
-* system.conf should have controls for cgroups
+* timedate: have global on/off switches for auto-time (NTP), and auto-timezone that connman can subscribe to.
-* bind mount read-only the cgroup tree higher than nspawn
+* Honour "-" prefix for InaccessibleDirectories= and ReadOnlyDirectories= to
+ suppress errors of the specified path doesn't exist
-* allow writing multiple conditions in unit files on one line
+* dev-setup.c: when running in a container, create a tiny stub udev
+ database with the systemd tag set for all network interfaces found,
+ so that libudev reports them as present, and systemd's .device units
+ will be activated.
-* explore multiple service instances per listening socket idea
+* merge unit_kill_common() and unit_kill_context()
-* testing tool for socket activation: some binary that listens on a socket and passes it on using the usual socket activation protocol to some server.
+* introduce ExecCondition= in services
-* shutdown: don't read-only mount anything when running in container
+* EFI:
+ - fsck hookup for the ESP mount is missing
+ - write man page for efi boot generator
+ - honor language efi variables for default language selection (if there are any?)
+ - honor timezone efi variables for default timezone selection (if there are any?)
+ - introduce bootctl (backed by systemd-bootd) to control temporary and persistent default boot goal plus efi variables
-* nspawn: --read-only is not applied recursively to submounts
+* maybe do not install getty@tty1.service symlink in /etc but in /usr?
-* MountFlags=shared acts as MountFlags=slave right now.
+* re-enable "make check" for gtk-doc (broken for unknown reason)
-* ReadOnlyDirectories= is not applied recursively to submounts
+* fstab: add new mount option x-systemd-after=/foobar/waldo to allow manual dependencies to other mount points
+ https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=812826
-* drop PID 1 reloading, only do reexecing (difficult: Reload()
- currently is properly synchronous, Reexec() is weird, because we
- can't delay the response properly until we are back, so instead of
- being properly synchronous we just keep open the fd and close it
- when done. That means clients don't get a successful method reply,
- but much rather a disconnect on success.
+* print a nicer explanation if people use variable/specifier expansion in ExecStart= for the first word
-* document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
+* mount: turn dependency information from /proc/self/mountinfo into dependency information between systemd units.
-* remember which condition failed for services, not just the fact that something failed
+* logind:
+ - logind: optionally, ignore idle-hint logic for autosuspend, block suspend as long as a session is around
+ - When we update the kernel all kind of hibernation should be prohibited until shutdown/reboot
+ - logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
+ - Add pretty name for seats in logind
+ - logind: allow showing logout dialog from system?
+ - logind: spawn user@..service on login
+ - logind: non-local X11 server handling
+ - logind: add equivalent to sd_pid_get_owner_uid() to the D-Bus API
+ - pam: when leaving a session explicitly exclude the ReleaseSession() caller process from the killing spree
+ - logind: GetSessionByPID() should accept 0 as PID value
+ - we should probably handle SIGTERM/SIGINT to not leave dot files around, just in case
-* use opterr = 0 for all getopt tools
+* exec: when deinitializating a tty device fix the perms and group, too, not only when initializing. Set access mode/gid to 0620/tty.
-* properly handle loop back mounts via fstab, especially regards to fsck/passno
+* DeviceAllow/DeviceDeny: disallow everything by default, but whitelist /dev/zero, /dev/null and friends
-* allow services with no ExecStart= but with an ExecStop=
+* service: watchdog logic: for testing purposes allow ping, but do not require pong
-* add proper journal support to "systemctl --user status ..."
+* journal:
+ - do not use magic msync() in src/journal/journal-file.c, just call fsync()
+ <alxchk> poettering: looks like msync just calls vfs_fsync
+ http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/mm/msync.c#n18
+ - import and delete pstore filesystem content at startup
+ - journald: also get thread ID from client, plus thread name
+ - journal: when waiting for journal additions in the client always sleep at least 1s or so, in order to minimize wakeups
+ - add API to close/reopen/get fd for journal client fd in libsystemd-journal.
+ - fallback to /dev/log based logging in libsystemd-journal, if we can't log natively?
+ - declare the local journal protocol stable in the wiki interface chart
+ - journal: reuse XZ context
+ - sd-journal: speed up sd_journal_get_data() with transparent hash table in bg
+ - journald: when dropping msgs due to ratelimit make sure to write
+ "dropped %u messages" not only when we are about to print the next
+ message that works, but alraedy after a short tiemout
+ - check if we can make journalctl by default use --follow mode inside of less if called without args?
+ - maybe add API to send pairs of iovecs via sd_journal_send
+ - journal: when writing journal auto-rotate if time jumps backwards
+ - journal: add a setgid "systemd-journal" utility to invoke from libsystemd-journal, which passes fds via STDOUT and does PK access
+ - journactl: support negative filtering, i.e. FOOBAR!="waldo",
+ and !FOOBAR for events without FOOBAR.
+ - journal: when rotating, copy over old acls/access mode
+ - journal: send out marker messages every now and then, and immediately sync with fdatasync() afterwards, in order to have hourly guaranteed syncs.
+ - 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.
+ - journal: find a way to allow dropping history early, based on priority, other rules
+ - journal: When used on NFS, check payload hashes
+ - journald: check whether it is OK if the client can still modify delivered journal entries

+ - journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
+ - refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
+ - journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
+ - journal: deal nicely with byte-by-byte copied files, especially regards header
+ - journalctl: expand tabs
+ - journal: store euid in journal if it differs from uid
+ - journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the components would fit
+ - Replace utmp, wtmp, btmp, and lastlog completely with journal
+ - Port upower to use the journal for historical power information used in future calculations
+
+* document:
+ - document unit_name_mangle()
+ - document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fileds in
+ [Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
+ - man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
+ - Document word splitting syntax for ExecStart= and friends
+ - document that units from /etc override those from /usr and /run
+ - document the exit codes when services fail before they are exec()ed
+ - document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
+ - document in wiki how to map ical recurrence events to systemd timer unit calendar specifications
+
+* systemctl:
+ - systemctl list-jobs - show dependencies
+ - add systemctl switch to dump transaction without executing it
+ - Add a verbose mode to "systemctl start" and friends that explains what is being done or not done
+ - "systemctl disable" on a static unit prints no message and does
+ nothing. "systemctl enable" does nothing, and gives a bad message
+ about it. Should fix both to print nice actionable messages.
+ - print nice message from systemctl --failed if there are no entries shown, and hook that into ExecStartPre of rescue.service/emergency.service
+ - add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
+ - systemctl enable: improve the success messages (i.e. more human readable, less shell-like)
+ - systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into doesn't exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
+ - systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
+ - support "systemctl stop foobar@.service" to stop all units matching a certain template
+ - Something is wrong with symlink handling of "autovt@.service" in "systemctl list-unit-files"
-* add _SYSTEMD_USER_UNIT= field to journal entries
+* introduce ntp.service (or suchlike) as symlink that is used to arbitrate between various NTP implementations
-* dracut-shutdown needs to be ordered before unmounting /boot
+* deal with sendmail/postfix exclusivity
-* initialize the hostname from the fs label of /, if /etc/hostname does not exist?
+* timer units:
+ - configurable jitter for timer events
+ - timer events with system resume
+ - timer units should get the ability to trigger when:
+ o CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (TFD_TIMER_CANCEL_ON_SET)
+ o DST changes
+ - Support 2012-02~4 as syntax for specifying the fourth to last day of the month.
-* rename "userspace" to "core-os"
+* update the kernel's TZ (sys_tz) when DST changes
-* systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
+* sync down the system time to the RTC when:
+ - CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (the user explicitely requested a time set)
+ - DST/timezone changes && ntp is active && RTC-in-localtime (never do it without ntp)
+ This takes care of syncing ntpdate updates to the RTC, and DST updates for localtime
+ mode, it will never touch the RTC if the no reliable time source is active or the
+ user did not request anything like it.
-* syscall filter: add knowledge about compat syscalls
+* hwdb:
+ - implement conditional properties (dmi matches)
+ - hwdb --filter=ID_DRIVE_*
-* syscall filter: don't enforce no new privs?
+* if booted in "quiet" mode, and an error happens, turn on status
+ output again, so that the emergency mode isn't totally
+ surprising. Also, terminate plymouth.
-* syscall filter: option to return EPERM rather than SIGSYS?
+* libunwind support for coredump pattern hook, and includes this in
+ the message for coredumps. After all, libunwind is now capable to
+ unwind coredumps since a few weeks ago. This probably requires that
+ we have nice support for multi-line messages on display in
+ logs-show.c. Alternatively: use libelfutil, which seems to be the
+ better supported alternative.
-* syscall filter: port to libseccomp
+* figure out relation of --all and --full in the various tools
-* logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
+* add libsystemd-password or so to query passwords during boot using the password agent logic
-* systemd-analyze post-boot is broken for initrd
+* 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().
-* systemd-analyze: data collection tools should be lightweight (few dependencies); data analysis tools can be heavyweight
+* fedup: add --unit to systemctl switch-root somehow
+* fedup: don't delete initrd on switch-root
+* fedup: generator
-* man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
+* timedated:
+ - timedated: refuse time changes when NTP is on
-* .device aliases need to be implemented with the "following" logic, probably.
+* clean up date formatting and parsing so that all absolute/relative timestamps we format can also be parsed
+
+* introduce generic AUGMENT_PID=, AUGMENT_DEVICE= fields
-* refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
+* on shutdown: move utmp, wall, audit logic all into PID 1 (or logind?), get rid of systemd-update-utmp-runlevel
-* load-fragment: when loading a unit file via a chain of symlinks
- verify that it isn't masked via any of the names traversed.
+* add "provisioning" instructions to setup an empty /etc + /var
+ - used to setup a new container from a shared /usr
+ - superset of tmpfiles model
+ - instructions shipped by packages and stored in /usr/lib/
+ - compose /etc/passwd and /etc/group, copy files
+ - able to create uid + gid used by packages, for file ownership
-* journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
+* make repeated alt-ctrl-del presses printing a dump, or even force a reboot without
+ waiting for the timeout
-* Document:
- - PID 1 D-Bus API
+* high level net_prio setting in execution context
-* introduce Type=pid-file
+* hostnamed: before returning information from /etc/machine-info.conf check the modification data and reread. Similar for localed, ...
-* maybe allow services with ExecStop= set, but no ExecStart=?
+* currently x-systemd.timeout is lost in the initrd, since crypttab is copied into dracut, but fstab isn't
-* efi: implement /forcefsck as uefi variables thus not requiring file system altering to trigger a file system check
+* refuse boot if /etc/machine-id is not useful (or set taint?)
-* efi: honor language efi variables for default language selection
+* nspawn:
+ - nspawn: consider changing users for -u with su, so that NSS resolving works correctly
+ - nspawn: implement personality changes a la linux32(8)
+ - nspawn: --read-only is not applied recursively to submounts
+ - nspawn: make use of device cgroup controller by default
+ - bind mount read-only the cgroup tree higher than nspawn
+ - nspawn: investigate whether we can support the same as LXC's
+ lxc.network.type=phys mode, and pass through entire network
+ interfaces to the container
+ - nspawn: maybe add a way to drop additional caps, in addition to add additional caps
+ - nspawn: maybe explicitly reset loginuid?
+ - nspawn: make it work for dwalsh and shared /usr containers -- tmpfs mounts as command line parameters, selinux exec context
+
+* cryptsetup:
+ - cryptsetup-generator: allow specification of passwords in crypttab itself
+ - move cryptsetup key caching into kernel keyctl?
+ https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54982
+ - support rd.luks.allow-discards= kernel cmdline params in cryptsetup generator
-* efi: honor timezone efi variables for default timezone selection
+* move debug shell to tty6 and make sure this doesn't break the gettys on tty6
-* efi: automatically mount EFI partition to /boot if no such entry exists in /etc/fstab and /boot is empty
- gummiboot exports the EFI system partion (ESP) device:
- /sys/firmware/efi/vars/LoaderDeviceIdentifier-4a67b082-0a4c-41cf-b6c7-440b29bb8c4f/data
- Acpi(PNP0A03,0)/Pci(1F|2)/?/HD(Part1,Sig1FCBC57F-4BFC-4C2B-91A3-9C84FBCD9AF1)
- '/' is the separator for the device path list
- HD(Part1,Sig1FCBC57F-4BFC-4C2B-91A3-9C84FBCD9AF1) contains the GPT UUID of the ESP
+* hw watchdog: optionally try to use the preset watchdog timeout instead of always overriding it
+ https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54712
-* read the bootloader performance data (raw TSC) in systemd-analyze
- /sys/firmware/efi/vars/LoaderTicksExec-4a67b082-0a4c-41cf-b6c7-440b29bb8c4f/data

- (only set if the menu was active)
+* after deserializing sockets in socket.c we should reapply sockopts and things
-* change Requires=basic.target to RequisiteOverride=basic.target
+* make timer units go away after they elapsed
-* support rd.luks.allow-discards= kernel cmdline params in cryptsetup generator

-* when breaking cycles drop sysv services first, then services from /run, then from /etc, then from /usr
+* create /sbin/init symlinks from the build system
-* readahead: when bumping /sys readahead variable save mtime and compare later to detect changes
+* Query Paul Moore about relabelling socket fds while they are open
-* (attempt to) make Debianites happy:
- - implement .d/ auto includes for unit files
- - add syntax to reset ExecStart= lists (and similar)
+* system.conf should have controls for cgroups
-* move passno parsing to fstab generator
+* allow writing multiple conditions in unit files on one line
-* improve !/proc/*/loginuid situation: make /proc/*/loginuid less dependent on CONFIG_AUDIT,
- or use the users cgroup information when /proc/*/loginuid is not available.
+* explore multiple service instances per listening socket idea
-* pam_systemd: try to get old session id from cgroup, if audit sessionid cannot be determined
+* shutdown: don't read-only mount anything when running in container
-* pam: when leaving a session explicitly exclude the ReleaseSession() caller process from the killing spree
+* MountFlags=shared acts as MountFlags=slave right now.
-* maybe introduce ~/.config/locale.conf and apply it within PAM
+* ReadOnlyDirectories= is not applied recursively to submounts
-* readahead: make use of EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT, as used by http://e4rat.sourceforge.net/
+* drop PID 1 reloading, only do reexecing (difficult: Reload()
+ currently is properly synchronous, Reexec() is weird, because we
+ can't delay the response properly until we are back, so instead of
+ being properly synchronous we just keep open the fd and close it
+ when done. That means clients don't get a successful method reply,
+ but much rather a disconnect on success.
-* automount: implement expire
+* remember which condition failed for services, not just the fact that something failed
-* services which create their own subcgroups break cgroup-empty notification (needs to be fixed in the kernel)

+ - syscall filter: add knowledge about compat syscalls
+ - syscall filter: don't enforce no new privs?
+ - syscall filter: option to return EPERM rather than SIGSYS?
+ - syscall filter: port to libseccomp
+ - system-wide seccomp filter
-* ConditionSecurity= should learn about IMA and SMACK
+* .device aliases need to be implemented with the "following" logic, probably.
-* Auke: merge Auke's bootchart
+* load-fragment: when loading a unit file via a chain of symlinks
+ verify that it isn't masked via any of the names traversed.
-* udev: move to LGPL
+* introduce Type=pid-file
-* udev systemd unify:
- - strpcpy(), strpcpyl(), strscpy(), strscpyl()

+ - blocking, needs a thread
+ - run until -EAGAIN
+ - receive expire packet on pipe if kernel tells the timeout is over
+ - call umount
+ - answer expire packet on pipe with AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_{READY,FAIL}_CMD
+ - AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_EXPIRE_CMD returns
-* cleanup syslog 'priority' vs. 'level' wording
+* services which create their own subcgroups break cgroup-empty notification (needs to be fixed in the kernel)
-* dbus upstream still refers to dbus.target and shouldn't

+
+* udev:
+ - remove src/udev/udev-builtin-firmware.c (CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER=n)
+ - move to LGPL
+ - unify utf8 validator code with shared/
+ - kill scsi_id
+ - add trigger --subsystem-match=usb/usb_device device
+
+* cleanup syslog 'priority' vs. 'level' wording
* 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
