3 * Should systemctl status \* work on all unit types, not just .service?
5 * Dangling symlinks of .automount unit files in .wants/ directories, set up
6 automount points even when the original .automount file did not exist
7 anymore. Only the .mount unit was still around.
9 * ExecStart with unicode characters fails in strv_split_quoted:
12 Environment=ONE='one' "TWO='two two' too" THREE=
13 ExecStart=/bin/python3 -c 'import sys;print(sys.argv)' $ONE $TWO $THREE
15 * When systemctl --host is used, underlying ssh connection can remain open.
16 bus_close does not kill children?
20 * Fedora: add an rpmlint check that verifies that all unit files in the RPM are listed in %systemd_post macros.
22 * wiki: update journal format documentation for lz4 additions
24 * When lz4 gets an API for lz4 command output, make use of it to
25 compress coredumps in a way compatible with /usr/bin/lz4.
29 * consider throwing a warning if a service declares it wants to be "Before=" a .device unit.
31 * "systemctl edit" should know a mode to create a new unit file
33 * there's probably something wrong with having user mounts below /sys,
34 as we have for debugfs. for exmaple, src/core/mount.c handles mounts
35 prefixed with /sys generally special.
36 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-June/032962.html
38 * Add PassEnvironment= setting to service units, to import select env vars from PID 1 into the service env block
40 * nspawn: fix logic always print a final newline on output.
41 https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/272#issuecomment-113153176
43 * make nspawn's --network-veth switch more powerful:
44 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-June/033121.html
46 * man: document that unless you use StandardError=null the shell >/dev/stderr won't work in shell scripts in services
48 * man: clarify that "machinectl show" shows different information than "machinectl status" (no cgroup tree, no IP addresses, ...)
50 * "systemctl daemon-reload" should result in /etc/systemd/system.conf being reloaded by systemd
52 * install: include generator dirs in unit file search paths
54 * stop using off_t, it's a crazy type. Use uint64_t instead.
56 * logind: follow PropertiesChanged state more closely, to deal with quick logouts and relogins
58 * change to KillMode=mixed by default
60 * introduce argv0contains=
62 * invent a better systemd-run scheme for naming scopes, that works with remoting
64 * add journalctl -H that talks via ssh to a remote peer and passes through binary logs data
66 * change journalctl -M to acquire fd to journal directory via machined, and then operate on that via openat() instead of absolute paths
68 * add a version of --merge which also merges /var/log/journal/remote
70 * log accumulated resource usage after each service invocation
72 * networkd: dhcp server: try to assign stable IP addresses based on client's MAC address
74 * nspawn: a nice way to boot up without machine id set, so that it is set at boot automatically for supporting --ephemeral. Maybe hash the host machine id together with the machine name to generate the machine id for the container
76 * logind: rename session scope so that it includes the UID. THat way
77 the session scope can be arranged freely in slices and we don't have
78 make assumptions about their slice anymore.
80 * journalctl: -m should access container journals directly by enumerating them via machined, and also watch containers coming and going. Benefit: nspawn --ephemeral would start working nicely with the journal.
82 * nspawn: don't copy /etc/resolv.conf from host into container unless we are in shared-network mode
84 * nspawn: optionally automatically add FORWARD rules to iptables whenever nspawn is running, remove them when shut down.
86 * importd: generate a nice warning if mkfs.btrfs is missing
88 * nspawn: add a logic for cleaning up read-only, hidden container images in /var/lib/machines that are not ancestors of any non-hidden containers
90 * nspawn: Improve error message when --bind= is used on a non-existing source directory
92 * nspawn: maybe make copying of /etc/resolv.conf optional, and skip it if --read-only is used
94 * man: document how update dkr images works with machinectl
95 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-February/028630.html
97 * nspawn: as soon as networkd has a bus interface, hook up --network-interface=, --network-bridge= with networkd, to trigger netdev creation should an interface be missing
99 * networkd: make DHCP server IP range configurable, including only with a single IP address
101 * rework C11 utf8.[ch] to use char32_t instead of uint32_t when referring
102 to unicode chars, to make things more expressive.
104 * "machinectl migrate" or similar to copy a container from or to a
105 difference host, via ssh
107 * tmpfiles: creating new directories/subvolumes/fifos/device nodes
108 should not follow symlinks. None of the other adjustment or creation
109 calls follow symlinks.
111 * fstab-generator: default to tmpfs-as-root if only usr= is specified on the kernel cmdline
113 * docs: bring http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/MyServiceCantGetRealtime up to date
115 * mounting and unmounting mount points manually with different source
116 devices will result in collected collected on all devices used.
117 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-April/030225.html
119 * add a job mode that will fail if a transaction would mean stopping
120 running units. Use this in timedated to manage the NTP service
122 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-April/030229.html
124 * Maybe add support for the equivalent of "ethtool advertise" to .link files?
125 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-April/030112.html
127 * .timer units should optionally support CLOCK_BOOTTIME in addition to CLOCK_MONOTONIC
129 * create a btrfs qgroup for /var/lib/machines, and add all container
130 subvolumes we create to it.
132 * When logging about multiple units (stopping BoundTo units, conflicts, etc.),
133 log both units as UNIT=, so that journalctl -u triggers on both.
135 * to allow "linking" of nspawn containers, extend --network-bridge= so
136 that it can dynamically create bridge interfaces that are refcounted
137 by the containers on them. For each group of containers to link together
139 * journalctl --verify: don't show files that are currently being
140 written to as FAIL, but instead show that their are being written
143 * assign MESSAGE_ID to log messages about failed services
145 * coredump: make the handler check /proc/$PID/rlimits for RLIMIT_CORE,
146 and supress coredump if turned off. Then change RLIMIT_CORE to
147 infinity by default for all services. This then allows per-service
148 control of coredumping.
150 * generate better errors when people try to set transient properties
151 that are not supported...
152 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-February/028076.html
154 * Introduce $LISTEN_NAMES to complement $LISTEN_FDS, containing a
155 colon separated list of identifiers for the fds passed.
157 * maybe introduce WantsMountsFor=? Usecase:
158 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-January/027729.html
160 * rework kexec logic to use new kexec_file_load() syscall, so that we
161 don't have to call kexec tool anymore.
163 * The udev blkid built-in should expose a property that reflects
164 whether media was sensed in USB CF/SD card readers. This should then
165 be used to control SYSTEMD_READY=1/0 so that USB card readers aren't
166 picked up by systemd unless they contain a medium. This would mirror
167 the behaviour we already have for CD drives.
169 * nspawn: emulate /dev/kmsg using CUSE and turn off the syslog syscall
170 with seccomp. That should provide us with a useful log buffer that
171 systemd can log to during early boot, and disconnect container logs
172 from the kernel's logs.
174 * networkd/udev: implement SR_IOV configuration in .link files:
175 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-January/027451.html
177 * When RLIMIT_NPROC is set from a unit file it currently always is set
178 for root, not for the user set in User=, which makes it
179 useless. After fixing this, set RLIMIT_NPROC for
180 systemd-journal-xyz, and all other of our services that run under
181 their own user ids, and use User= (but only in a world where userns
182 is ubiquitous since otherwise we cannot invoke those daemons on the
183 host AND in a container anymore). Also, if LimitNPROC= is used
184 without User= we should warn and refuse operation.
186 * logind: maybe allow configuration of the StopTimeout for session scopes
188 * Set NoNewPrivileges= on all of our own services, where that makes sense
190 * Rework systemctl's GetAll property parsing to use the generic bus_map_all_properties() API
192 * rework journald sigbus stuff to use mutex
194 * import-dkr: support tarsum checksum verification, if it becomes reality one day...
196 * import-dkr: convert json bits to nspawn configuration
198 * core/cgroup: support net_cls modules, and support automatically allocating class ids, then add support for making firewall changes depending on it, to implement a per-service firewall
200 * introduce systemd-nspawn-ephemeral@.service, and hook it into "machinectl start" with a new --ephemeral switch
202 * "machinectl status" should also show internal logs of the container in question
204 * "machinectl list-images" should show os-release data, as well as machine-info data (including deployment level)
206 * nspawn: when start a container "foobar" look for its configuration in a file "foobar.nspawn" in /etc/systemd/nspawn/ as well as next to the actualy directory or image to boot
208 * Port various tools to make use of verbs.[ch], where applicable
210 * "machinectl history"
214 * "machinectl commit" that takes a writable snapshot of a tree, invokes a shell in it, and marks it read-only after use
216 * systemd-nspawn -x should support ephemeral instances of gpt images
218 * hostnamectl: show root image uuid
220 * sysfs set api in libudev is not const
222 * Find a solution for SMACK capabilities stuff:
223 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-December/026188.html
225 * port libmount hookup to use API's own inotify interface, as soon as that is table in libmount
227 * "systemctl preset-all" should probably order the unit files it
228 operates on lexicographically before starting to work, in order to
229 ensure deterministic behaviour if two unit files conflict (like DMs
232 * resolved should optionally register additional per-interface LLMNR
233 names, so that for the container case we can establish the same name
234 (maybe "host") for referencing the server, everywhere.
236 * systemd-journal-upload (or a new, related tool): allow pushing out
237 journal messages onto the network in BSD syslog protocol,
238 continuously. Default to some link-local IP mcast group, to make this
239 useful as a one-stop debugging tool.
241 * synchronize console access with BSD locks:
242 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-October/024582.html
244 * as soon as we have kdbus, and sender timestamps, revisit coalescing multiple parallel daemon reloads:
245 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-December/025862.html
247 * the install state probably shouldn't get confused by generated units, think dbus1/kdbus compat!
249 * in systemctl list-unit-files: show the install value the presets would suggest for a service in a third column
251 * figure out when we can use the coarse timers
253 * sd-resolve: drop res_query wrapping, people should call via the bus to resolved instead
255 * add "systemctl start -v foobar.service" that shows logs of a service
256 while the start command runs. This is non-trivial to do without
257 races though, since we should flush out all journal messages before
258 returning from the "systemctl stop".
260 * 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
262 * timesyncd + resolved: add ugly bus calls to set NTP and DNS servers per-interface, for usage by NM
264 * 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
266 * machined: add an API so that libvirt-lxc can inform us about network interfaces being removed or added to an existing machine
268 * maybe add support for specifier expansion in user.conf, specifically DefaultEnvironment=
270 * code cleanup: retire FOREACH_WORD_QUOTED, port to unquote_first_word() loops instead
272 * introduce systemd-timesync-wait.service or so to sync on an NTP fix?
274 * systemd --user should issue sd_notify() upon reaching basic.target, not on becoming idle
276 * consider showing the unit names during boot up in the status output, not just the unit descriptions
278 * dhcp: do we allow configuring dhcp routes on interfaces that are not the one we got the dhcp info from?
280 * maybe allow timer units with an empty Units= setting, so that they
281 can be used for resuming the system but nothing else.
283 * what to do about udev db binary stability for apps? (raw access is not an option)
285 * maybe provide an API to allow migration of foreign PIDs into existing scopes.
287 * maybe support a new very "soft" reboot mode, that simply kills all processes, disassembles everything, flushes /run and sysvipc, and then reexecs systemd again
289 * man: document that corrupted journal files is nothing to act on
291 * man: maybe use the word "inspect" rather than "introspect"?
293 * "machinectl list" should probably show columns for OS version and IP addresses
295 * systemctl: if some operation fails, show log output?
298 - allow creation of units from scratch
299 - use equvalent of cat() to insert existing config as a comment, prepended with #.
300 Upon editor exit, lines with one # are removed, lines with two # are left with one #, etc.
302 * refcounting in sd-resolve is borked
304 * exponential backoff in timesyncd and resolved when we cannot reach a server
306 * unquote_many_words() should probably be used by a lot of code that
307 currently uses FOREACH_WORD and friends. For example, most conf
308 parsing callbacks should use it.
310 * merge ~/.local/share and ~/.local/lib into one similar /usr/lib and /usr/share....
312 * systemd.show_status= should probably have a mode where only failed
315 * add systemd.abort_on_kill or some other such flag to send SIGABRT instead of SIGKILL
316 (throughout the codebase, not only PID1)
319 - add LLDP client side support
320 - the DHCP lease data (such as NTP/DNS) is still made available when
321 a carrier is lost on a link. It should be removed instantly.
322 - expose in the API the following bits:
323 - option 15, domain name and/or option 119, search list
324 - option 12, host name and/or option 81, fqdn
325 - option 100, 101, timezone
326 - option 123, 144, geolocation
327 - option 252, configure http proxy (PAC/wpad)
328 - networkd's dhcp server should transparently pass on the DNS and
329 NTP server list it got from user configuration and its dhcp client
330 to clients. It should also pass on its own timezone information.
331 - provide a way to define a per-network interface default metric value
332 for all routes to it. possibly a second default for DHCP routes.
333 - allow Name= to be specified repeatedly in the [Match] section. Maybe also
334 support Name=foo*|bar*|baz ?
335 - duplicate address check for static IPs (like ARPCHECK in network-scripts)
338 - put networkd events and rtnl events at a higher priority, so that
339 we always process them before we process client requests
341 - add display of private key types (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4034#appendix-A.1.1)?
346 - DNS-SD service registration from socket units
351 * Allow multiple ExecStart= for all Type= settings, so that we can cover rescue.service nicely
353 * Add a new verb "systemctl top"
355 * add new gpt type for btrfs volumes
357 * support empty /etc boots nicely:
358 - nspawn/gpt-generator: introduce new gpt partition type for /usr
359 - fstab-generator: support systemd.volatile=yes|no|state on the kernel cmdline, too, similar to nspawn's --volatile=
361 * generator that automatically discovers btrfs subvolumes, identifies their purpose based on some xattr on them.
363 * timer units: actually add extra delays to timer units with high AccuracySec values, don't start them already when we are awake...
365 * a way for container managers to turn off getty starting via $container_headless= or so...
367 * figure out a nice way how we can let the admin know what child/sibling unit causes cgroup membership for a specific unit
369 * mount_cgroup_controllers(): symlinks need to get the label applied
371 * For timer units: add some mechanisms so that timer units that trigger immediately on boot do not have the services
372 they run added to the initial transaction and thus confuse Type=idle.
374 * 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)
376 * sd-event: generate a failure of a default event loop is executed out-of-thread
378 * add bus api to query unit file's X fields.
380 * consider adding RuntimeDirectoryUser= + RuntimeDirectoryGroup=
382 * sd-event: define more intervals where we will shift wakeup intervals around in, 1h, 6h, 24h, ...
384 * gpt-auto-generator:
385 - Support LUKS for root devices
386 - Define new partition type for encrypted swap? Support probed LUKS for encrypted swap?
387 - Make /home automount rather than mount?
389 * add generator that pulls in systemd-network from containers when
390 CAP_NET_ADMIN is set, more than the loopback device is defined, even
391 when it is otherwise off
393 * MessageQueueMessageSize= and RLimitFSIZE= (and suchlike) should use parse_iec_size().
395 * "busctl status" works only as root on dbus1, since we cannot read
398 * implement Distribute= in socket units to allow running multiple
399 service instances processing the listening socket, and open this up
402 * socket units: support creating sockets in different namespace,
403 opening it up for JoinsNamespaceOf=. This would require to fork off
404 a tiny process that joins the namespace and creates/binds the socket
405 and passes this back to PID1 via SCM_RIGHTS. This also could be used
406 to allow Chown/chgrp on sockets without requiring NSS in PID 1.
408 * New service property: maximum CPU and wallclock runtime for a service
410 * introduce bus call FreezeUnit(s, b), as well as "systemctl freeze
411 $UNIT" and "systemctl thaw $UNIT" as wrappers around this. The calls
412 should SIGSTOP all unit processes in a loop until all processes of
413 it are fully stopped. This can later be used for app management by
414 desktop UIs such as gnome-shell to freeze apps that are not visible
415 on screen, not unlike how job control works on the shell
418 - implement per-slice CPUFairScheduling=1 switch
419 - handle jointly mounted controllers correctly
420 - introduce high-level settings for RT budget, swappiness
421 - how to reset dynamically changed unit cgroup attributes sanely?
422 - when reloading configuration, apply new cgroup configuration
423 - when recursively showing the cgroup hierarchy, optionally also show
424 the hierarchies of child processes
427 - add field to transient units that indicate whether systemd or somebody else saves/restores its settings, for integration with libvirt
428 - ensure scope units may be started only a single time
430 * Automatically configure swap partition to use for hibernation by looking for largest swap partition on the root disk?
432 * when we detect low battery and no AC on boot, show pretty splash and refuse boot
434 * machined, localed: when we try to kill an empty cgroup, generate an ESRCH error over the bus
436 * libsystemd-journal, libsystemd-login, libudev: add calls to easily attach these objects to sd-event event loops
438 * be more careful what we export on the bus as (usec_t) 0 and (usec_t) -1
440 * unify dispatch table in systemctl_main() and friends
442 * 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
444 * After coming back from hibernation reset hibernation swap partition using the /dev/snapshot ioctl APIs
446 * If we try to find a unit via a dangling symlink, generate a clean
447 error. Currently, we just ignore it and read the unit from the search
450 * refuse boot if /etc/os-release is missing or /etc/machine-id cannot be set up
452 * btrfs raid assembly: some .device jobs stay stuck in the queue
454 * make sure gdm does not use multi-user-x but the new default X configuration file, and then remove multi-user-x from systemd
456 * man: the documentation of Restart= currently is very misleading and suggests the tools from ExecStartPre= might get restarted.
458 * load .d/*.conf dropins for device units
460 * allow implementation of InaccessibleDirectories=/ plus
461 ReadOnlyDirectories=... for whitelisting files for a service.
464 - GetAllProperties() on a non-existing object does not result in a failure currently
465 - kdbus: process fd=-1 for incoming msgs
466 - port to sd-resolve for connecting to TCP dbus servers
467 - kdbus: maybe add controlling tty metadata fields
468 - 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
469 - when kdbus does not take our message without memfds, try again with memfds
470 - see if we can drop more message validation on the sending side
471 - add API to clone sd_bus_message objects
472 - make AddMatch calls on dbus1 transports async?
473 - kdbus: matches against source or destination pids for an "strace -p"-like feel. Problem: The PID info needs to be available in userspace too...
474 - longer term: priority inheritance
477 - NameLost/NameAcquired obsolete
480 - update systemd.special(7) to mention that dbus.socket is only about the compatibility socket now
481 - test bloom filter generation indexes
482 - bus-proxy: when passing messages from kdbus, make sure we properly
483 handle the case where a large number of fds is appended that we
484 cannot pass into sendmsg() of the AF_UNIX sokcet (which only accepts
486 - kdbus: introduce a concept of "send-only" connections
487 - 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.
490 - allow multiple signal handlers per signal?
491 - document chaining of signal handler for SIGCHLD and child handlers
493 * in the final killing spree, detect processes from the root directory, and
494 complain loudly if they have argv[0][0] == '@' set.
495 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=961044
497 * investigate endianness issues of UUID vs. GUID
499 * dbus: when a unit failed to load (i.e. is in UNIT_ERROR state), we
500 should be able to safely try another attempt when the bus call LoadUnit() is invoked.
502 * add a pam module that passes the hdd passphrase into the PAM stack and then expires it, for usage by gdm auto-login.
504 * add a pam module that on password changes updates any LUKS slot where the password matches
506 * maybe add a generator that looks for "systemd.run=" on the kernel cmdline for container usercases...
508 * cgtop: make cgtop useful in a container
511 - add 'set -e' to scripts in test/
512 - make stuff in test/ work with separate output dir
514 * seems that when we follow symlinks to units we prefer the symlink
515 destination path over /etc and /usr. We should not do that. Instead
516 /etc should always override /run+/usr and also any symlink
519 * when isolating, try to figure out a way how we implicitly can order
520 all units we stop before the isolating unit...
522 * teach ConditionKernelCommandLine= globs or regexes (in order to match foobar={no,0,off})
524 * BootLoaderSpec: Clarify that the kernel has to be in $BOOT. Clarify
525 that the boot loader should be installed to the ESP. Define a way
526 how an installer can figure out whether a BLS compliant boot loader
529 * think about requeuing jobs when daemon-reload is issued? usecase:
530 the initrd issues a reload after fstab from the host is accessible
531 and we might want to requeue the mounts local-fs acquired through
534 * systemd-inhibit: make taking delay locks useful: support sending SIGINT or SIGTERM on PrepareForSleep()
536 * journal-or-kmsg is currently broken? See reverted commit 4a01181e460686d8b4a543b1dfa7f77c9e3c5ab8.
538 * remove any syslog support from log.c -- we probably cannot do this before split-off udev is gone for good
540 * shutdown logging: store to EFI var, and store to USB stick?
542 * write UI tool that pops up emergency messages from the journal as notification
544 * think about window-manager-run-as-user-service problem: exit 0 → activate shutdown.target; exit != 0 → restart service
546 * merge unit_kill_common() and unit_kill_context()
548 * introduce ExecCondition= in services
551 - honor language efi variables for default language selection (if there are any?)
552 - honor timezone efi variables for default timezone selection (if there are any?)
553 - change bootctl to be backed by systemd-bootd to control temporary and persistent default boot goal plus efi variables
555 * maybe do not install getty@tty1.service symlink in /etc but in /usr?
557 * fstab: add new mount option x-systemd-after=/foobar/waldo to allow manual dependencies to other mount points
558 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=812826
560 * print a nicer explanation if people use variable/specifier expansion in ExecStart= for the first word
562 * mount: turn dependency information from /proc/self/mountinfo into dependency information between systemd units.
565 - logind: optionally, ignore idle-hint logic for autosuspend, block suspend as long as a session is around
566 - When we update the kernel all kind of hibernation should be prohibited until shutdown/reboot
567 - logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
568 - Add pretty name for seats in logind
569 - logind: allow showing logout dialog from system?
570 - we should probably handle SIGTERM/SIGINT to not leave dot files around, just in case
571 - session scopes/user unit: add RequiresMountsFor for the home directory of the user
572 - add Suspend() bus calls which take timestamps to fix double suspend issues when somebody hits suspend and closes laptop quickly.
573 - if pam_systemd is invoked by su from a process that is outside of a
574 any session we should probably just become a NOP, since that's
575 usually not a real user session but just some system code that just
577 - logind: make the Suspend()/Hibernate() bus calls wait for the for
578 the job to be completed. before returning, so that clients can wait
579 for "systemctl suspend" to finish to know when the suspending is
581 - logind: when the power button is pressed short, just popup a
582 logout dialog. If it is pressed for 1s, do the usual
583 shutdown. Inspiration are Macs here.
584 - expose "Locked" property on logind sesison objects
585 - given that logind now lets PID 1 do all nasty work, we can
586 probably reduce the capability set it retains substantially.
587 (we need CAP_SYS_ADMIN for drmSetMaster(), so maybe not worth it)
588 - expose orientation sensors and tablet mode through logind
590 * exec: when deinitializating a tty device fix the perms and group, too, not only when initializing. Set access mode/gid to 0620/tty.
592 * service: watchdog logic: for testing purposes allow ping, but do not require pong
595 - consider introducing implicit _TTY= + _PPID= + _EUID= + _EGID= + _FSUID= + _FSGID= fields
596 - import and delete pstore filesystem content at startup
597 - journald: also get thread ID from client, plus thread name
598 - journal: when waiting for journal additions in the client always sleep at least 1s or so, in order to minimize wakeups
599 - add API to close/reopen/get fd for journal client fd in libsystemd-journal.
600 - fallback to /dev/log based logging in libsystemd-journal, if we cannot log natively?
601 - declare the local journal protocol stable in the wiki interface chart
602 - journal: reuse XZ context
603 - sd-journal: speed up sd_journal_get_data() with transparent hash table in bg
604 - journald: when dropping msgs due to ratelimit make sure to write
605 "dropped %u messages" not only when we are about to print the next
606 message that works, but alraedy after a short tiemout
607 - check if we can make journalctl by default use --follow mode inside of less if called without args?
608 - maybe add API to send pairs of iovecs via sd_journal_send
609 - journal: when writing journal auto-rotate if time jumps backwards
610 - journal: add a setgid "systemd-journal" utility to invoke from libsystemd-journal, which passes fds via STDOUT and does PK access
611 - journactl: support negative filtering, i.e. FOOBAR!="waldo",
612 and !FOOBAR for events without FOOBAR.
613 - journal: store timestamp of journal_file_set_offline() int he header,
614 so it is possible to display when the file was last synced.
615 - 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.
616 - journal: find a way to allow dropping history early, based on priority, other rules
617 - journal: When used on NFS, check payload hashes
618 - journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
619 - refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
620 - journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
621 - journal: deal nicely with byte-by-byte copied files, especially regards header
622 - journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the components would fit
623 - Replace utmp, wtmp, btmp, and lastlog completely with journal
624 - journalctl: instead --after-cursor= maybe have a --cursor=XYZ+1 syntax?
625 - when a kernel driver logs in a tight loop, we should ratelimit that too.
626 - journald: optionally, log debug messages to /run but everything else to /var
627 - journald: when we drop syslog messages because the syslog socket is
628 full, make sure to write how many messages are lost as first thing
629 to syslog when it works again.
630 - journald: make sure ratelimit is actually really per-service with the new cgroup changes
631 - change systemd-journal-flush into a service that stays around during
632 boot, and causes the journal to be moved back to /run on shutdown,
633 so that we do not keep /var busy. This needs to happen synchronously,
634 hence doing this via signals is not going to work.
635 - optionally support running journald from the command line for testing purposes in external projects
636 - journald: allow per-priority and per-service retention times when rotating/vacuuming
637 - journald: make use of uid-range.h to managed uid ranges to split
639 - journalctl: add the ability to look for the most recent process of a binary. journalctl /usr/bin/X11 --pid=-1 or so...
640 - improve journalctl performance by loading journal files
641 lazily. Encode just enough information in the file name, so that we
642 do not have to open it to know that it is not interesting for us, for
643 the most common operations.
646 - document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fields in
647 [Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
648 - man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
649 - document the exit codes when services fail before they are exec()ed
650 - document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
651 - document in wiki how to map ical recurrence events to systemd timer unit calendar specifications
652 - add a man page containing packaging guidelines and recommending usage of things like Documentation=, PrivateTmp=, PrivateNetwork= and ReadOnlyDirectories=/etc /usr.
653 - document systemd-journal-flush.service properly
654 - documentation: recommend to connect the timer units of a service to the service via Also= in [Install]
655 - man: document the very specific env the shutdown drop-in tools live in
656 - man: extend runlevel(8) to mention that runlevels suck, and are dead. Maybe add runlevel(7) with a note about that too
657 - man: add more examples to man pages
658 - man: maybe sort directives in man pages, and take sections from --help and apply them to man too
661 - systemctl list-jobs - show dependencies
662 - add systemctl switch to dump transaction without executing it
663 - Add a verbose mode to "systemctl start" and friends that explains what is being done or not done
664 - "systemctl disable" on a static unit prints no message and does
665 nothing. "systemctl enable" does nothing, and gives a bad message
666 about it. Should fix both to print nice actionable messages.
667 - print nice message from systemctl --failed if there are no entries shown, and hook that into ExecStartPre of rescue.service/emergency.service
668 - add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
669 - systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into does not exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
670 - systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
671 - support "systemctl stop foobar@.service" to stop all units matching a certain template
672 - Something is wrong with symlink handling of "autovt@.service" in "systemctl list-unit-files"
673 - better error message if you run systemctl without systemd running
674 - systemctl status output should should include list of triggering units and their status
677 - "systemctl mask" should find all names by which a unit is accessible
678 (i.e. by scanning for symlinks to it) and link them all to /dev/null
679 - systemctl list-unit-files should list generated files (and probably with a new state "generated" for them, or so)
682 - timer units should get the ability to trigger when:
683 o CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (TFD_TIMER_CANCEL_ON_SET)
685 - Support 2012-02~4 as syntax for specifying the fourth to last day of the month.
686 - calendarspec: support value ranges with ".." notation. Example: 2013-4..8-1
687 - 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
688 - Modulate timer frequency based on battery state
690 * add libsystemd-password or so to query passwords during boot using the password agent logic
692 * 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().
694 * fedup: add --unit to systemctl switch-root somehow
695 * fedup: do not delete initrd on switch-root
698 * clean up date formatting and parsing so that all absolute/relative timestamps we format can also be parsed
700 * on shutdown: move utmp, wall, audit logic all into PID 1 (or logind?), get rid of systemd-update-utmp-runlevel
702 * make repeated alt-ctrl-del presses printing a dump, or even force a reboot without
703 waiting for the timeout
705 * hostnamed: before returning information from /etc/machine-info.conf check the modification data and reread. Similar for localed, ...
707 * currently x-systemd.timeout is lost in the initrd, since crypttab is copied into dracut, but fstab is not
710 - refuses to boot containers without /etc/machine-id (OK?), and with empty /etc/machine-id (not OK).
713 - cryptsetup-generator: allow specification of passwords in crypttab itself
714 - move cryptsetup key caching into kernel keyctl?
715 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54982
716 - support rd.luks.allow-discards= kernel cmdline params in cryptsetup generator
718 * hw watchdog: optionally try to use the preset watchdog timeout instead of always overriding it
719 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54712
721 * after deserializing sockets in socket.c we should reapply sockopts and things
723 * make timer units go away after they elapsed
725 * move PID 1 segfaults to /var/lib/systemd/coredump?
727 * create /sbin/init symlinks from the build system
729 * allow writing multiple conditions in unit files on one line
731 * MountFlags=shared acts as MountFlags=slave right now.
733 * drop PID 1 reloading, only do reexecing (difficult: Reload()
734 currently is properly synchronous, Reexec() is weird, because we
735 cannot delay the response properly until we are back, so instead of
736 being properly synchronous we just keep open the fd and close it
737 when done. That means clients do not get a successful method reply,
738 but much rather a disconnect on success.
740 * properly handle loop back mounts via fstab, especially regards to fsck/passno
742 * initialize the hostname from the fs label of /, if /etc/hostname does not exist?
744 * rename "userspace" to "core-os"
746 * load-fragment: when loading a unit file via a chain of symlinks
747 verify that it is not masked via any of the names traversed.
749 * introduce Type=pid-file
751 * change Requires=basic.target to RequisiteOverride=basic.target
753 * when breaking cycles drop sysv services first, then services from /run, then from /etc, then from /usr
755 * ExecOnFailure=/usr/bin/foo
760 - add trigger --subsystem-match=usb/usb_device device
761 - reimport udev db after MOVE events for devices without dev_t
763 * 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
765 * introduce mix of BindTo and Requisite
767 * There's currently no way to cancel fsck (used to be possible via C-c or c on the console)
769 * add option to sockets to avoid activation. Instead just drop packets/connections, see http://cyberelk.net/tim/2012/02/15/portreserve-systemd-solution/
771 * default unix qlen is too small (10). bump sysctl? add sockopt?
773 * save coredump in Windows/Mozilla minidump format
775 * support crash reporting operation modes (https://live.gnome.org/GnomeOS/Design/Whiteboards/ProblemReporting)
777 * default to actual 32-bit PIDs, via /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max
779 * be able to specify a forced restart of service A where service B depends on, in case B
780 needs to be auto-respawned?
782 * when a bus name of a service disappears from the bus make sure to queue further activation requests
785 - apply "x" on "D" too (see patch from William Douglas)
787 - instead of ignoring unknown fields, reject them.
789 * for services: do not set $HOME in services unless requested
791 * hide PAM options in fragment parser when compile time disabled
793 * when we automatically restart a service, ensure we restart its rdeps, too.
795 * allow Type=simple with PIDFile=
796 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=723942
798 * move PAM code into its own binary
800 * implement Register= switch in .socket units to enable registration
801 in Avahi, RPC and other socket registration services.
803 * make sure systemd-ask-password-wall does not shutdown systemd-ask-password-console too early
805 * add ReloadSignal= for configuring a reload signal to use
807 * verify that the AF_UNIX sockets of a service in the fs still exist
808 when we start a service in order to avoid confusion when a user
809 assumes starting a service is enough to make it accessible
811 * Make it possible to set the keymap independently from the font on
812 the kernel cmdline. Right now setting one resets also the other.
814 * and a dbus call to generate target from current state
816 * GC unreferenced jobs (such as .device jobs)
818 * write blog stories about:
819 - hwdb: what belongs into it, lsusb
820 - enabling dbus services

836 - hooking a script into various stages of shutdown/rearly booot
838 * allow port=0 in .socket units
840 * recreate systemd's D-Bus private socket file on SIGUSR2
842 * Support --test based on current system state
844 * investigate whether the gnome pty helper should be moved into systemd, to provide cgroup support.
846 * maybe introduce ExecRestartPre=
848 * dot output for --test showing the 'initial transaction'
850 * fingerprint.target, wireless.target, gps.target, netdevice.target
853 - figure out a simple way to wait for journal events in a way that
855 - add documentation to systemd.daemon
858 - plot per-process IO utilization
859 - group processes based on service association (cgroups)
860 - document initcall_debug
861 - kernel cmdline "bootchart" option for simplicity?
864 - Make sure ID_PATH is always exported and complete for
865 network devices where possible, so we can safely rely
867 - check MTUBytes parsing (expecting size_t but we are using unsigned)
870 - add support for more attribute types
871 - inbuilt piping support (essentially degenerate async)? see loopback-setup.c and other places
874 - add more keys to [Route] and [Address] sections
875 - add support for more DHCPv4 options (and, longer term, other kinds of dynamic config)
876 - add proper initrd support (in particular generate .network/.link files based on /proc/cmdline)
877 - add reduced [Link] support to .network files
878 - add Scope= parsing option for [Network]
879 - properly handle routerless dhcp leases
880 - add more attribute support for SIT tunnel

884 * networkd-wait-online:
885 - make operstates to wait for configurable?
888 - figure out how much we can increase Maximum Message Size
889 - export timezone information
890 - support RFC4702 (pass FQDN)
893 - add functions to set previously stored IPv6 addresses on startup and get
894 them at shutdown; store them in client->ia_na
895 - write more test cases
896 - implement reconfigure support, see 5.3., 15.11. and 22.20.
897 - implement support for temporary adressess (IA_TA)
898 - implement dhcpv6 authentication
899 - investigate the usefulness of Confirm messages; i.e. are there any
900 situations where the link changes without any loss in carrier detection
902 - some servers don't do rapid commit without a filled in IA_NA, verify
908 - natively watch for dbus-*.service symlinks (PENDING)
909 - teach dbus to activate all services it finds in /etc/systemd/services/org-*.service
911 * fix alsa mixer restore to not print error when no config is stored
913 * make cryptsetup lower --iter-time
915 * patch kernel for xattr support in /dev, /proc/, /sys?
917 * kernel: add device_type = "fb", "fbcon" to class "graphics"
919 * drop accountsservice's StandardOutput=syslog and Type=dbus fields
921 * dbus upstream still refers to dbus.target and should not
923 * dbus: in fedora, make /var/lib/dbus/machine-id a symlink to /etc/machine-id
925 * add "# export SYSTEMD_PAGER=" to bash login
927 * /usr/bin/service should actually show the new command line
929 * 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=
931 * fedora: F20: go timer units all the way, leave cron.daily for cron
933 * neither pkexec nor sudo initialize environ[] from the PAM environment?
935 * fedora: update policy to declare access mode and ownership of unit files to root:root 0644, and add an rpmlint check for it
937 * register catalog database signature as file magic
939 * zsh shell completion:
940 - <command> <verb> -<TAB> should complete options, but currently does not
941 - systemctl add-wants,add-requires
946 * look for close() vs. close_nointr() vs. close_nointr_nofail()
948 * check for strerror(r) instead of strerror(-r)
950 * Use PR_SET_PROCTITLE_AREA if it becomes available in the kernel
954 * set_put(), hashmap_put() return values check. i.e. == 0 does not free()!
956 * use secure_getenv() instead of getenv() where appropriate
958 * link up selected blog stories from man pages and unit files Documentation= fields
960 Scheduled for removal or fixing:
962 * xxxOverridable dependencies (probably: fix)
