* Fedora: add an rpmlint check that verifies that all unit files in the RPM are listed in %systemd_post macros.
-* wiki: update journal format documentation for lz4 additions
-
Janitorial Clean-ups:
* Rearrange tests so that the various test-xyz.c match a specific src/basic/xyz.c again
* add --copy-from and --copy-to command to systemd-dissect which copies stuff
in and out of a disk image
-* add systemd.random_seed= on the kernel cmdline, taking some hex or base64
- encoded data. During earliest boot, credit it to entropy. This is not useful
- for general purpose systems, but certainly for testing environments in VMs
- and such, as it allows us to boot up instantly with fully initialized entropy
- pool even if RNG pass-thru is not available.
-
* Support ProtectProc= or so, using: https://patchwork.kernel.org/cover/11310197/
* if /usr/bin/swapoff fails due to OOM, log a friendly explanatory message about it
+* add loud warning to the logs (with catalog entry) if systemd-udev-settle is
+ pulled into the boot process
+
* build short web pages out of each catalog entry, build them along with man
pages, and include hyperlinks to them in the journal output
so that the client side can remain entirely unprivileged, with SUID or
anything like that.
+* journald: do journal file writing out-of-process, with one writer process per
+ client UID, so that synthetic hash table collisions can slow down a specific
+ user's journal stream down but not the others.
+
* add "throttling" to sd-event event sources: optionally, when we wake up too
often for one, let's turn it off entirely for a while. Use that for the
/proc/self/mountinfo logic.
* pid1: also remove PID files of a service when the service starts, not just
when it exits
+* make us use dynamically fewer deps for containers in general purpose distros:
+ o turn into dlopen() deps:
+ - pcre2 (always) — irrelevant on Fedora, since dep by
+ libselinux, but should benefit Debian
+ - libpwquality (always) - only relevant for homed, and maybe soon
+ firstboot
+ - elfutils (always)
+ - p11-kit-trust (always)
+ - kmod-libs (only when called from PID 1)
+ - cryptsetup-libs (only in RootImage= handling in PID 1, but not in systemd-cryptsetup)
+ - similar: libblkid
+ - libpam (only when called from PID 1)
+ - bzip2, xz, lz4 (always — gzip and zstd should probably stay static deps the way they are,
+ since they are so basic and our defaults)
+ o move into separate libsystemd-shared-iptables.so .so
+ - iptables-libs (only used by nspawn + networkd)
+
* seccomp: when SystemCallArchitectures=native is set then don't install any
other seccomp filters for any of the other archs, in order to reduce the
number of seccomp filters we install needlessly.
- teach it to copy in unified kernel images and maybe type #1 boot loader spec entries from host
- make it operate on loopback files, dissecting enough to find ESP to operate on
+* Maybe add a separate GPT partition type to the discoverable partition spec
+ for "hibernate" partitions, that are exactly like swap partitions but only
+ activated right before hibernation and thus never used for regular swapping.
+
* by default, in systemd --user service bump the OOMAdjust to 100, as privs
allow so that systemd survives
* socket units: allow creating a udev monitor socket with ListenDevices= or so,
with matches, then activate app through that passing socket over
-* unify on openssl:
+* unify on openssl (as soon as OpenSSL 3.0 is out, and the Debian license
+ confusion is gone)
- port sd_id128_get_machine_app_specific() over from khash
- port resolved over from libgcrypt (DNSSEC code)
- port journald + fsprg over from libgcrypt
end), in order to maximize dd'ability. Requires libfdisk work, see
https://github.com/karelzak/util-linux/issues/907
-* systemd-repart: optionally, allow specifying a path to initialize new
- partitions from, i.e. an fs image file or a source device node. This would
- then turn systemd-repart into a simple installer: with a few .repart files
- you could replicate the host system on another device. a full installer would
- then be: "systemd-repart /dev/sda && bootctl install /dev/sda &&
- systemd-firstboot --image= …"
-
* systemd-repart: MBR partition table support. Care needs to be taken regarding
Type=, so that partition definitions can sanely apply to both the GPT and the
MBR case. Idea: accept syntax "Type=gpt:home mbr:0x83" for setting the types
* systemd-repart: allow managing the gpt read-only partition flag + auto-mount flag
+* systemd-repart: allow boolean option that ensures that if existing partition
+ doesn't exist within the configured size bounds the whole command fails. This
+ is useful to implement ESP vs. XBOOTLDR schemes in installers: have one set
+ of repart files for the case where ESP is large enough and one where it isn't
+ and XBOOTLDR is added in instead. Then apply the former first, and if it
+ fails to apply use the latter.
+
+* systemd-repart: add per-partition option to never reuse existing partition
+ and always create anew even if matching partition already exists.
+
+* systemd-repart: add per-partition option to fail if partition already exist,
+ i.e. is not added new. Similar, add option to fail if partition does not exist yet.
+
+* systemd-repart: add --size=auto for generating/resizing images of minimal
+ size, i.e. where the image file is sized exactly as large as necessary taking
+ SizeMin= into account, but not a single byte larger.
+
* systemd-repart: allow disabling growing of specific partitions, or making
them (think ESP: we don't ever want to grow it, since we cannot resize vfat)
-* systemd-repart: add specifier expansion, add especifier that refers to root
- device node of current system, /usr device node, and matching verity, so that
- an installer can be made a "copy" installer of the booted OS
-
* systemd-repart: make it a static checker during early boot for existence and
absence of other partitions for trusted boot environments
-* systemd-repart: allow config of partition uuid
-
* userdb: allow username prefix searches in varlink API, allow realname and
realname substr searches in varlink API
