* 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.
-* kill insserv code
+* cgroup attrs:
+ - update dbus interface docs in wiki
-* In parse_timestamp() allow specifying a week day, and if it doesn't match the date, generate a parse failure
+* localed:
+ - localectl: support new converted x11→console keymaps
-* 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
+* when installing fedora with yum --installroot /var/run is a directory, not a symlink
-* add form factor to /etc/machine-info
+CGroup Rework Completion:
-* use C11 static_assert() where we currently use assert_cc()
+* introduce "mainpid" for scopes
-* journald: also get thread ID from client, plus thread name
+* implement system-wide DefaultCPUAccounting=1 switch (and similar for blockio, memory?)
-* check if we can make journalctl by default use --follow mode inside of less if called without args?
+* implement per-slice CPUFairScheduling=1 switch
-* Addd a verbose mode to "systemctl start" and friends that explains what is being done or not done
+* handle jointly mounted controllers correctly
-* "systemctl is-failed" to join "systemctl is-active" and "systemctl is-enabled".
+* logind: implement session kill exceptions
-* journal is not closed properly at shutdown when run in a container?
+* make BlockIODeviceWeight=, BlockIODeviceBandwidth= runtime settable
-* 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
+* introduce high-level settings for RT budget, swappiness
-* define a message ID for "overmounting non-empty directory" and write message catalog entry for it
+* man: document new bus apis
-* use polkit "imply" for binding hostname actions together
+* Send SIGHUP and SIGTERM in session scopes
-* journal: when waiting for journal additions always sleep at least 1s or so, in order to minimize wakeups
+Features:
-* When shutdown.target is queued begin with an asynchronous sync()?
+* add rpm macros for applying tmpfiles --create after package installation
-* Add ConditionBatteryPower= or ConditionACPower=? (but definitely not both)
+* 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
-* add API to close/reopen/get fd for journal client fd in libsystemd-journal.
+* 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.
-* maybe add API to send pairs of iovecs via sd_journal_send
+* when a kernel driver logs in a tight loop we should ratelimit that too.
-* fallback to /dev/log based logging in libsystemd-journal, if we can't log natively?
+* journald: optionally, when messages with a high log prioerity are logged, sync() immeidately.
-* declare the local journal protocol stable in the wiki interface chart
+* introduce %v resolving to the string returned by "uname -r"
-* journal: reuse XZ context
+* systemctl list-unit-files should list generated files (and probably with a new state "generated" for them, or so)
-* sd-journal: speed up sd_journal_get_data() with transparent hash table in bg
+* Get rid of systemd-sysv:
+ https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Toshio/Systemd_Convert_draft
-* introduce ntp.service (or suchlike) as symlink that is used to arbitrate between various NTP implementations
+* do we really need both hasprefix() and startswith()?
-* timer units should get the ability to trigger when:
- - CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (TFD_TIMER_CANCEL_ON_SET)
- - DST changes
+* when a kernel driver logs in a tight loop we should ratelimit that too.
-* update the kernel's TZ (sys_tz) when 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.
-* 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.
+* prohibit Restart= set with Type=oneshot
-* When we begin with system shutdown all kind of suspend/hibernation should be prohibited until shutdown/reboot
+* man: the documentation of Restart= currently is very misleading and suggests the tools from ExecStartPre= might get restarted.
-* When we update the kernel all kind of hibernation should be prohibited until shutdown/reboot
+* load .d/*.conf dropins for device units
-* 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 set-log-level 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
+* move "systemctl dump" to systemd-analyze
-* localectl: add listing support for X11 keymaps, by parsing /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/xorg.lst
+* add a fixed dbus path for "my own unit", "my own session", ... to PID1, logind, ...
-* 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.
+* service_coldplug() appears to reinstall the wrong stop timeout watch?
-* figure out relation of --all and --full in the various tools
+* transient units: allow creating auxiliary units with the same call
-* journal: when writing journal auto-rotate if time jumps backwards
+* how to reset dynamically changed attributes sanely?
-* introduce new "journal" group in place of adm? introduce groups for the various mini daemons?
+* when reloading configuration, apply new cgroup configuration
-* journal: add a setgid "adm" utility to invoke from libsystemd-journal, which passes fds via STDOUT and does PK access
+* journald: make sure ratelimit is actually really per-service with the new cgroup changes
-* link up selected blog stories from man pages and unit files Documentation= fields?
+* libsystemd-logind: sd_session_is_active() and friends: verify
+ validity of session name before appending it to a path
-* journactl: support negative filtering, i.e. FOOBAR!="waldo",
- and !FOOBAR for events without FOOBAR.
+* 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
-* print nice message from systemctl --failed if there are no entries shown, and hook that into ExecStartPre of rescue.service/emergency.service
+* when a service changes state make reflect that in the
+ RUNNING/LISTENING states of its socket
-* add libsystemd-password or so to query passwords during boot using the password agent logic
+* when recursively showing the cgroup hierarchy, optionally also show
+ the hierarchies of child processes
-* journal: when rotating, copy over old acls/access mode
+* document logic of auto/noauto and fail/nofail in fstab in systemd.mount or systemd-fstab-generator man page
-* journal: document why we do not give ownership to journal files to the user that created them but use FS ACLs for that
+* we should properly escape ssh hostnames we add into dbus server strings
-* journal: send out marker messages every now and then, and immediately sync with fdatasync() afterwards, in order to have hourly guaranteed syncs.
+* something pulls in pcre as so dep into our daemons such as hostnamed.
-* 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
+* cgroup-agent: downgrade error messages
-* 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.
+* document systemd-journal-flush.service properly
-* 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().
+* 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.
-* fedup: add --unit to systemctl switch-root somehow
-* fedup: don't delete initrd on switch-root
-* fedup: generator
+* allow implementation of InaccessibleDirectories=/ plus
+ ReadOnlyDirectories=... for whitelisting files for a service.
-* journal: find a way to allow dropping history early, based on priority, other rules
+* libsystemd-journal:
+ - return ECHILD as soon as somebody tries to reuse a journal object across a fork()
-* journal: When used on NFS, check payload hashes
+* 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 make sure wake up sd_journal_wait() every 2s, to handle missing inotify
+* 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
-* document that people can use file system ACLs to manage access to journal files, with example
+* 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.
-* don't show cgroup in "systemctl status" if empty/non-existent, especially for foreign .mount units
+* 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 $HOME
+* remove duplicate default deps logic from fstab-generator vs. mount.c
-* refuse boot if /etc/machine-id is not useful
+* when isolating, try to figure out a way how we implicitly can order
+ all units we stop before the isolating unit...
-* nspawn: consider changing users for -u with su, so that NSS resolving works correctly
+* teach udev + logind's uaccess to somehow handle the "dead" device nodes from:
+ /lib/modules/$(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.
-* need to update LGPL2.1 text to newest version (with updated FSF address)
+* man: remove .include documentation, and instead push people to use .d/*.conf
-* systemctl: when powering down/suspending check for inhibitors, and warn.
+* 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.
-* instantiated [Install] for target units
- https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54377
+* rework specifier logic so that we can distuingish OOM errors from other errors
-* move debug shell to tty6 and make sure this doesn't break the gettys on tty6
+* systemd-inhibit: make taking delay locks useful: support sending SIGINT or SIGTERM on PrepareForSleep()
-* move cryptsetup key caching into kernel keyctl?
- https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54982
+* journal-or-kmsg is currently broken? See reverted commit 4a01181e460686d8b4a543b1dfa7f77c9e3c5ab8.
-* make nspawn work without terminal
+* remove any syslog support from log.c -- we probably can't do this before split-off udev is gone for good
-* hw watchdog: optionally try to use the preset watchdog timeout instead of always overriding it
- https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54712
+* documentation: recommend to connect the timer units of a service to the service via Also= in [Install]
-* after deserializing sockets in socket.c we should reapply sockopts and things
+* add a tool that lists active timer units plus their next elapstion and the time the units ran last
-* make timer units go away after they elapsed
+* man: document the very specific env the shutdown drop-in tools live in
-* http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2012-September/006502.html
+* shutdown logging: store to EFI var, and store to USB stick?
-* come up with a nice way to write queue/read_ahead_kb for a block device without interfering with readahead
+* man: extend runlevel(8) to mention that runlevels suck, and are dead. Maybe add runlevel(7) with a note about that too
-* journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
+* systemctl: maybe add "systemctl add-wants" or so...
-* move PID 1 segfaults to /var/lib/systemd/coredump?
+* man: add more examples to man pages
-* Document word splitting syntax for ExecStart= and friends
+* man: maybe sort directives in man pages, and take sections from --help and apply them to man too
-* create /sbin/init symlinks from the build system
+* write UI tool that pops up emergency messages from the journal as notification
-* Query Paul Moore about relabelling socket fds while they are open
+* think about window-manager-run-as-user-service problem: exit 0 → activate shutdown.target; exit != 0 → restart service
-* move keymaps to /usr/lib/... rather than /usr/lib/udev/...
+* 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.
-* journald: check whether it is OK if the client can still modify delivered journal entries
+* use "log level" rather than "log priority" everywhere
-* journal live copy, based on libneon (client) and libmicrohttpd
+* timedate: have global on/off switches for auto-time (NTP), and auto-timezone that connman can subscribe to.
-* system-wide seccomp filter
+* Honour "-" prefix for InaccessibleDirectories= and ReadOnlyDirectories= to
+ suppress errors of the specified path doesn't exist
-* ability to pass fds into systemd
+* 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.
-* system.conf should have controls for cgroups
+* merge unit_kill_common() and unit_kill_context()
-* bind mount read-only the cgroup tree higher than nspawn
+* introduce ExecCondition= in services
+
+* 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
-* allow writing multiple conditions in unit files on one line
+* maybe do not install getty@tty1.service symlink in /etc but in /usr?
+
+* re-enable "make check" for gtk-doc (broken for unknown reason)
+
+* 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
+
+* print a nicer explanation if people use variable/specifier expansion in ExecStart= for the first word
+
+* mount: turn dependency information from /proc/self/mountinfo into dependency information between systemd units.
+
+* 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
+
+* exec: when deinitializating a tty device fix the perms and group, too, not only when initializing. Set access mode/gid to 0620/tty.
+
+* DeviceAllow/DeviceDeny: disallow everything by default, but whitelist /dev/zero, /dev/null and friends
+
+* service: watchdog logic: for testing purposes allow ping, but do not require pong
+
+* 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?

+ - 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
+ - journal live copy, based on libneon (client) and libmicrohttpd (server)
+ - 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"
-* explore multiple service instances per listening socket idea
+* introduce ntp.service (or suchlike) as symlink that is used to arbitrate between various NTP implementations
-* 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.
+* deal with sendmail/postfix exclusivity
-* shutdown: don't read-only mount anything when running in container
+* 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.
-* nspawn: --read-only is not applied recursively to submounts
+* update the kernel's TZ (sys_tz) when DST changes
-* MountFlags=shared acts as MountFlags=slave right now.
+* 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.
-* ReadOnlyDirectories= is not applied recursively to submounts
+* hwdb:
+ - implement conditional properties (dmi matches)
+ - hwdb --filter=ID_DRIVE_*
-* 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.
+* 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.
-* document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
+* 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.
-* remember which condition failed for services, not just the fact that something failed
+* figure out relation of --all and --full in the various tools

+* fedup: add --unit to systemctl switch-root somehow
+* fedup: don't delete initrd on switch-root
+* fedup: generator
-* add proper journal support to "systemctl --user status ..."
+* timedated:
+ - timedated: refuse time changes when NTP is on
-* add _SYSTEMD_USER_UNIT= field to journal entries
+* clean up date formatting and parsing so that all absolute/relative timestamps we format can also be parsed
-* dracut-shutdown needs to be ordered before unmounting /boot
+* introduce generic AUGMENT_PID=, AUGMENT_DEVICE= fields
-* initialize the hostname from the fs label of /, if /etc/hostname does not exist?
+* on shutdown: move utmp, wall, audit logic all into PID 1 (or logind?), get rid of systemd-update-utmp-runlevel
-* rename "userspace" to "core-os"
+* 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
-* systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
+* make repeated alt-ctrl-del presses printing a dump, or even force a reboot without
+ waiting for the timeout
-* syscall filter: add knowledge about compat syscalls
+* high level net_prio setting in execution context
-* syscall filter: don't enforce no new privs?
+* hostnamed: before returning information from /etc/machine-info.conf check the modification data and reread. Similar for localed, ...
-* syscall filter: option to return EPERM rather than SIGSYS?
+* currently x-systemd.timeout is lost in the initrd, since crypttab is copied into dracut, but fstab isn't
-* syscall filter: port to libseccomp
+* refuse boot if /etc/machine-id is not useful (or set taint?)
+
+* 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

-* logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
+* move debug shell to tty6 and make sure this doesn't break the gettys on tty6

+* hw watchdog: optionally try to use the preset watchdog timeout instead of always overriding it
+ https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54712
-* systemd-analyze: data collection tools should be lightweight (few dependencies); data analysis tools can be heavyweight
+* after deserializing sockets in socket.c we should reapply sockopts and things
-* man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
+* make timer units go away after they elapsed
-* .device aliases need to be implemented with the "following" logic, probably.
+* http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2012-September/006502.html
+ (network and remote-fs on shutdown)
-* refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
+* come up with a nice way to write queue/read_ahead_kb for a block device without interfering with readahead
-* load-fragment: when loading a unit file via a chain of symlinks
