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_extract:
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
26 * code cleanup: retire FOREACH_WORD_QUOTED, port to extract_first_word() loops instead
28 * replace manual readdir() loops with FOREACH_DIRENT or FOREACH_DIRENT_ALL
30 * Get rid of the last strerror() invocations in favour of %m and strerror_r()
32 * Rearrange tests so that the various test-xyz.c match a specific src/basic/xyz.c again
36 * journalctl: make sure -f ends when the container indicated by -M terminates
38 * rework fopen_temporary() to make use of open_tmpfile_linkable() (problem: the
39 kernel doesn't support linkat() that replaces existing files, currently)
41 * check if DeviceAllow= should split first, resolve specifiers later
43 * transient units: don't bother with actually setting unit properties, we
44 reload the unit file anyway
46 * make sure resolved can be restarted without losing pushed-in dns config
48 * fix https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/2890, this shouldn't be exported
51 * journald: sigbus API via a signal-handler safe function that people may call
52 from the SIGBUS handler
54 * when using UTF8, ellipsize with "…" rather than "...", so that we can show more contents before truncating
56 * move specifier expansion from service_spawn() into load-fragment.c
58 * optionally, also require WATCHDOG=1 notifications during service start-up and shutdown
60 * resolved: maybe, after all, implement local listening for DNS packets on port
63 * delay activation of logind until somebody logs in, or when /dev/tty0 pulls it
64 in or lingering is on (so that containers don't bother with it until PAM is used). also exit-on-idle
66 * cache sd_event_now() result from before the first iteration...
68 * add systemctl stop --job-mode=triggering that follows TRIGGERED_BY deps and adds them to the same transaction
70 * Maybe add a way how users can "pin" units into memory, so that they are not subject to automatic GC?
72 * PID1: find a way how we can reload unit file configuration for
73 specific units only, without reloading the whole of systemd
75 * add an explicit parser for LimitRTPRIO= that verifies
76 the specified range and generates sane error messages for incorrect
79 * do something about "/control" subcgroups in the unified cgroup hierarchy
81 * when we detect that there are waiting jobs but no running jobs, do something
83 * push CPUAffinity= also into the "cpuset" cgroup controller (only after the cpuset controller got ported to the unified hierarchy)
85 * PID 1 should send out sd_notify("WATCHDOG=1") messages (for usage in the --user mode, and when run via nspawn)
87 * consider throwing a warning if a service declares it wants to be "Before=" a .device unit.
89 * there's probably something wrong with having user mounts below /sys,
90 as we have for debugfs. for exmaple, src/core/mount.c handles mounts
91 prefixed with /sys generally special.
92 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-June/032962.html
94 * man: document that unless you use StandardError=null the shell >/dev/stderr won't work in shell scripts in services
96 * install: include generator dirs in unit file search paths
98 * fstab-generator: default to tmpfs-as-root if only usr= is specified on the kernel cmdline
100 * docs: bring http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/MyServiceCantGetRealtime up to date
102 * mounting and unmounting mount points manually with different source
103 devices will result in collected collected on all devices used.
104 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-April/030225.html
106 * add a job mode that will fail if a transaction would mean stopping
107 running units. Use this in timedated to manage the NTP service
109 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-April/030229.html
111 * Maybe add support for the equivalent of "ethtool advertise" to .link files?
112 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-April/030112.html
114 * The udev blkid built-in should expose a property that reflects
115 whether media was sensed in USB CF/SD card readers. This should then
116 be used to control SYSTEMD_READY=1/0 so that USB card readers aren't
117 picked up by systemd unless they contain a medium. This would mirror
118 the behaviour we already have for CD drives.
120 * networkd/udev: implement SR_IOV configuration in .link files:
121 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-January/027451.html
123 * Rework systemctl's GetAll property parsing to use the generic bus_map_all_properties() API
125 * implement a per-service firewall based on net_cls
127 * Port various tools to make use of verbs.[ch], where applicable
129 * hostnamectl: show root image uuid
131 * sysfs set api in libudev is not const
133 * Find a solution for SMACK capabilities stuff:
134 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-December/026188.html
136 * "systemctl preset-all" should probably order the unit files it
137 operates on lexicographically before starting to work, in order to
138 ensure deterministic behaviour if two unit files conflict (like DMs
141 * synchronize console access with BSD locks:
142 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-October/024582.html
144 * as soon as we have kdbus, and sender timestamps, revisit coalescing multiple parallel daemon reloads:
145 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-December/025862.html
147 * in systemctl list-unit-files: show the install value the presets would suggest for a service in a third column
149 * figure out when we can use the coarse timers
151 * add "systemctl start -v foobar.service" that shows logs of a service
152 while the start command runs. This is non-trivial to do without
153 races though, since we should flush out all journal messages before
154 returning from the "systemctl stop".
156 * 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
158 * maybe add support for specifier expansion in user.conf, specifically DefaultEnvironment=
160 * introduce systemd-timesync-wait.service or so to sync on an NTP fix?
162 * systemd --user should issue sd_notify() upon reaching basic.target, not on becoming idle
164 * consider showing the unit names during boot up in the status output, not just the unit descriptions
166 * maybe allow timer units with an empty Units= setting, so that they
167 can be used for resuming the system but nothing else.
169 * what to do about udev db binary stability for apps? (raw access is not an option)
171 * maybe provide an API to allow migration of foreign PIDs into existing scopes.
173 * man: maybe use the word "inspect" rather than "introspect"?
175 * systemctl: if some operation fails, show log output?
178 - allow creation of units from scratch
179 - use equvalent of cat() to insert existing config as a comment, prepended with #.
180 Upon editor exit, lines with one # are removed, lines with two # are left with one #, etc.
182 * exponential backoff in timesyncd when we cannot reach a server
184 * timesyncd: add ugly bus calls to set NTP servers per-interface, for usage by NM
186 * extract_many_words() should probably be used by a lot of code that
187 currently uses FOREACH_WORD and friends. For example, most conf
188 parsing callbacks should use it.
190 * merge ~/.local/share and ~/.local/lib into one similar /usr/lib and /usr/share....
192 * systemd.show_status= should probably have a mode where only failed
195 * add systemd.abort_on_kill or some other such flag to send SIGABRT instead of SIGKILL
196 (throughout the codebase, not only PID1)
200 - service registration
201 - service/domain/types browsing
203 - DNS-SD service registration from socket units
204 - resolved should optionally register additional per-interface LLMNR
205 names, so that for the container case we can establish the same name
206 (maybe "host") for referencing the server, everywhere.
207 - enable DNSSEC by default
208 - allow clients to request DNSSEC for a single lookup even if DNSSEC is off (?)
210 * refcounting in sd-resolve is borked
212 * Add a new verb "systemctl top"
214 * add new gpt type for btrfs volumes
216 * support empty /etc boots nicely:
217 - nspawn/gpt-generator: introduce new gpt partition type for /usr
218 - fstab-generator: support systemd.volatile=yes|no|state on the kernel cmdline, too, similar to nspawn's --volatile=
220 * generator that automatically discovers btrfs subvolumes, identifies their purpose based on some xattr on them.
222 * a way for container managers to turn off getty starting via $container_headless= or so...
224 * figure out a nice way how we can let the admin know what child/sibling unit causes cgroup membership for a specific unit
226 * mount_cgroup_controllers(): symlinks need to get the label applied
228 * For timer units: add some mechanisms so that timer units that trigger immediately on boot do not have the services
229 they run added to the initial transaction and thus confuse Type=idle.
231 * 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)
233 * add bus api to query unit file's X fields.
235 * gpt-auto-generator:
236 - Support LUKS for root devices
237 - Define new partition type for encrypted swap? Support probed LUKS for encrypted swap?
238 - Make /home automount rather than mount?
240 * add generator that pulls in systemd-network from containers when
241 CAP_NET_ADMIN is set, more than the loopback device is defined, even
242 when it is otherwise off
244 * MessageQueueMessageSize= (and suchlike) should use parse_iec_size().
246 * "busctl status" works only as root on dbus1, since we cannot read
249 * implement Distribute= in socket units to allow running multiple
250 service instances processing the listening socket, and open this up
253 * socket units: support creating sockets in different namespace,
254 opening it up for JoinsNamespaceOf=. This would require to fork off
255 a tiny process that joins the namespace and creates/binds the socket
256 and passes this back to PID1 via SCM_RIGHTS. This also could be used
257 to allow Chown/chgrp on sockets without requiring NSS in PID 1.
259 * New service property: maximum CPU runtime for a service
261 * introduce bus call FreezeUnit(s, b), as well as "systemctl freeze
262 $UNIT" and "systemctl thaw $UNIT" as wrappers around this. The calls
263 should SIGSTOP all unit processes in a loop until all processes of
264 it are fully stopped. This can later be used for app management by
265 desktop UIs such as gnome-shell to freeze apps that are not visible
266 on screen, not unlike how job control works on the shell
269 - implement per-slice CPUFairScheduling=1 switch
270 - handle jointly mounted controllers correctly
271 - introduce high-level settings for RT budget, swappiness
272 - how to reset dynamically changed unit cgroup attributes sanely?
273 - when reloading configuration, apply new cgroup configuration
274 - when recursively showing the cgroup hierarchy, optionally also show
275 the hierarchies of child processes
278 - add field to transient units that indicate whether systemd or somebody else saves/restores its settings, for integration with libvirt
279 - ensure scope units may be started only a single time
281 * Automatically configure swap partition to use for hibernation by looking for largest swap partition on the root disk?
283 * when we detect low battery and no AC on boot, show pretty splash and refuse boot
285 * libsystemd-journal, libsystemd-login, libudev: add calls to easily attach these objects to sd-event event loops
287 * be more careful what we export on the bus as (usec_t) 0 and (usec_t) -1
289 * unify dispatch table in systemctl_main() and friends
291 * 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
293 * After coming back from hibernation reset hibernation swap partition using the /dev/snapshot ioctl APIs
295 * If we try to find a unit via a dangling symlink, generate a clean
296 error. Currently, we just ignore it and read the unit from the search
299 * refuse boot if /etc/os-release is missing or /etc/machine-id cannot be set up
301 * btrfs raid assembly: some .device jobs stay stuck in the queue
303 * make sure gdm does not use multi-user-x but the new default X configuration file, and then remove multi-user-x from systemd
305 * man: the documentation of Restart= currently is very misleading and suggests the tools from ExecStartPre= might get restarted.
307 * load .d/*.conf dropins for device units
309 * allow implementation of InaccessibleDirectories=/ plus
310 ReadOnlyDirectories=... for whitelisting files for a service.
314 - GetAllProperties() on a non-existing object does not result in a failure currently
315 - kdbus: process fd=-1 for incoming msgs
316 - port to sd-resolve for connecting to TCP dbus servers
317 - kdbus: maybe add controlling tty metadata fields
318 - 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
319 - when kdbus does not take our message without memfds, try again with memfds
320 - see if we can drop more message validation on the sending side
321 - add API to clone sd_bus_message objects
322 - make AddMatch calls on dbus1 transports async?
323 - kdbus: matches against source or destination pids for an "strace -p"-like feel. Problem: The PID info needs to be available in userspace too...
324 - longer term: priority inheritance
327 - NameLost/NameAcquired obsolete
330 - update systemd.special(7) to mention that dbus.socket is only about the compatibility socket now
331 - test bloom filter generation indexes
332 - kdbus: introduce a concept of "send-only" connections
333 - 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.
336 - allow multiple signal handlers per signal?
337 - document chaining of signal handler for SIGCHLD and child handlers
338 - define more intervals where we will shift wakeup intervals around in, 1h, 6h, 24h, ...
339 - generate a failure of a default event loop is executed out-of-thread
340 - maybe add support for inotify events
342 * investigate endianness issues of UUID vs. GUID
344 * dbus: when a unit failed to load (i.e. is in UNIT_ERROR state), we
345 should be able to safely try another attempt when the bus call LoadUnit() is invoked.
347 * add a pam module that passes the hdd passphrase into the PAM stack and then expires it, for usage by gdm auto-login.
349 * add a pam module that on password changes updates any LUKS slot where the password matches
351 * maybe add a generator that looks for "systemd.run=" on the kernel cmdline for container usercases...
353 * cgtop: make cgtop useful in a container
356 - add 'set -e' to scripts in test/
357 - make stuff in test/ work with separate output dir
359 * seems that when we follow symlinks to units we prefer the symlink
360 destination path over /etc and /usr. We should not do that. Instead
361 /etc should always override /run+/usr and also any symlink
364 * when isolating, try to figure out a way how we implicitly can order
365 all units we stop before the isolating unit...
367 * teach ConditionKernelCommandLine= globs or regexes (in order to match foobar={no,0,off})
369 * BootLoaderSpec: Clarify that the kernel has to be in $BOOT. Clarify
370 that the boot loader should be installed to the ESP. Define a way
371 how an installer can figure out whether a BLS compliant boot loader
374 * think about requeuing jobs when daemon-reload is issued? usecase:
375 the initrd issues a reload after fstab from the host is accessible
376 and we might want to requeue the mounts local-fs acquired through
379 * systemd-inhibit: make taking delay locks useful: support sending SIGINT or SIGTERM on PrepareForSleep()
381 * remove any syslog support from log.c — we probably cannot do this before split-off udev is gone for good
383 * shutdown logging: store to EFI var, and store to USB stick?
385 * think about window-manager-run-as-user-service problem: exit 0 → activate shutdown.target; exit != 0 → restart service
387 * merge unit_kill_common() and unit_kill_context()
389 * introduce ExecCondition= in services
392 - honor language efi variables for default language selection (if there are any?)
393 - honor timezone efi variables for default timezone selection (if there are any?)
394 - change bootctl to be backed by systemd-bootd to control temporary and persistent default boot goal plus efi variables
396 * maybe do not install getty@tty1.service symlink in /etc but in /usr?
398 * print a nicer explanation if people use variable/specifier expansion in ExecStart= for the first word
400 * mount: turn dependency information from /proc/self/mountinfo into dependency information between systemd units.
403 - logind: optionally, ignore idle-hint logic for autosuspend, block suspend as long as a session is around
404 - When we update the kernel all kind of hibernation should be prohibited until shutdown/reboot
405 - logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
406 - Add pretty name for seats in logind
407 - logind: allow showing logout dialog from system?
408 - we should probably handle SIGTERM/SIGINT to not leave dot files around, just in case
409 - session scopes/user unit: add RequiresMountsFor for the home directory of the user
410 - add Suspend() bus calls which take timestamps to fix double suspend issues when somebody hits suspend and closes laptop quickly.
411 - if pam_systemd is invoked by su from a process that is outside of a
412 any session we should probably just become a NOP, since that's
413 usually not a real user session but just some system code that just
415 - logind: make the Suspend()/Hibernate() bus calls wait for the for
416 the job to be completed. before returning, so that clients can wait
417 for "systemctl suspend" to finish to know when the suspending is
419 - logind: when the power button is pressed short, just popup a
420 logout dialog. If it is pressed for 1s, do the usual
421 shutdown. Inspiration are Macs here.
422 - expose "Locked" property on logind sesison objects
423 - given that logind now lets PID 1 do all nasty work, we can
424 probably reduce the capability set it retains substantially.
425 (we need CAP_SYS_ADMIN for drmSetMaster(), so maybe not worth it)
426 - expose orientation sensors and tablet mode through logind
427 - maybe allow configuration of the StopTimeout for session scopes
428 - rename session scope so that it includes the UID. THat way
429 the session scope can be arranged freely in slices and we don't have
430 make assumptions about their slice anymore.
431 - follow PropertiesChanged state more closely, to deal with quick logouts and
434 * exec: when deinitializating a tty device fix the perms and group, too, not only when initializing. Set access mode/gid to 0620/tty.
436 * service: watchdog logic: for testing purposes allow ping, but do not require pong
439 - consider introducing implicit _TTY= + _PPID= + _EUID= + _EGID= + _FSUID= + _FSGID= fields
440 - import and delete pstore filesystem content at startup
441 - journald: also get thread ID from client, plus thread name
442 - journal: when waiting for journal additions in the client always sleep at least 1s or so, in order to minimize wakeups
443 - add API to close/reopen/get fd for journal client fd in libsystemd-journal.
444 - fallback to /dev/log based logging in libsystemd-journal, if we cannot log natively?
445 - declare the local journal protocol stable in the wiki interface chart
446 - sd-journal: speed up sd_journal_get_data() with transparent hash table in bg
447 - journald: when dropping msgs due to ratelimit make sure to write
448 "dropped %u messages" not only when we are about to print the next
449 message that works, but alraedy after a short tiemout
450 - check if we can make journalctl by default use --follow mode inside of less if called without args?
451 - maybe add API to send pairs of iovecs via sd_journal_send
452 - journal: when writing journal auto-rotate if time jumps backwards
453 - journal: add a setgid "systemd-journal" utility to invoke from libsystemd-journal, which passes fds via STDOUT and does PK access
454 - journactl: support negative filtering, i.e. FOOBAR!="waldo",
455 and !FOOBAR for events without FOOBAR.
456 - journal: store timestamp of journal_file_set_offline() int he header,
457 so it is possible to display when the file was last synced.
458 - 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.
459 - journal: find a way to allow dropping history early, based on priority, other rules
460 - journal: When used on NFS, check payload hashes
461 - journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
462 - refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
463 - journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
464 - journal: deal nicely with byte-by-byte copied files, especially regards header
465 - journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the components would fit
466 - Replace utmp, wtmp, btmp, and lastlog completely with journal
467 - journalctl: instead --after-cursor= maybe have a --cursor=XYZ+1 syntax?
468 - when a kernel driver logs in a tight loop, we should ratelimit that too.
469 - journald: optionally, log debug messages to /run but everything else to /var
470 - journald: when we drop syslog messages because the syslog socket is
471 full, make sure to write how many messages are lost as first thing
472 to syslog when it works again.
473 - journald: make sure ratelimit is actually really per-service with the new cgroup changes
474 - change systemd-journal-flush into a service that stays around during
475 boot, and causes the journal to be moved back to /run on shutdown,
476 so that we do not keep /var busy. This needs to happen synchronously,
477 hence doing this via signals is not going to work.
478 - optionally support running journald from the command line for testing purposes in external projects
479 - journald: allow per-priority and per-service retention times when rotating/vacuuming
480 - journald: make use of uid-range.h to managed uid ranges to split
482 - journalctl: add the ability to look for the most recent process of a binary. journalctl /usr/bin/X11 --pid=-1 or so...
483 - improve journalctl performance by loading journal files
484 lazily. Encode just enough information in the file name, so that we
485 do not have to open it to know that it is not interesting for us, for
486 the most common operations.
487 - journal-or-kmsg is currently broken? See reverted
488 commit 4a01181e460686d8b4a543b1dfa7f77c9e3c5ab8.
489 - man: document that corrupted journal files is nothing to act on
490 - rework journald sigbus stuff to use mutex
491 - Set RLIMIT_NPROC for systemd-journal-xyz, and all other of our
492 services that run under their own user ids, and use User= (but only
493 in a world where userns is ubiquitous since otherwise we cannot
494 invoke those daemons on the host AND in a container anymore). Also,
495 if LimitNPROC= is used without User= we should warn and refuse
497 - journalctl --verify: don't show files that are currently being
498 written to as FAIL, but instead show that their are being written to.
499 - add journalctl -H that talks via ssh to a remote peer and passes through
501 - add a version of --merge which also merges /var/log/journal/remote
502 - log accumulated resource usage after each service invocation
503 - journalctl: -m should access container journals directly by enumerating
504 them via machined, and also watch containers coming and going.
505 Benefit: nspawn --ephemeral would start working nicely with the journal.
506 - assign MESSAGE_ID to log messages about failed services
509 - document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fields in
510 [Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
511 - man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
512 - document the exit codes when services fail before they are exec()ed
513 - document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
514 - document in wiki how to map ical recurrence events to systemd timer unit calendar specifications
515 - add a man page containing packaging guidelines and recommending usage of things like Documentation=, PrivateTmp=, PrivateNetwork= and ReadOnlyDirectories=/etc /usr.
516 - document systemd-journal-flush.service properly
517 - documentation: recommend to connect the timer units of a service to the service via Also= in [Install]
518 - man: document the very specific env the shutdown drop-in tools live in
519 - man: add more examples to man pages
520 - man: maybe sort directives in man pages, and take sections from --help and apply them to man too
523 - systemctl list-jobs - show dependencies
524 - add systemctl switch to dump transaction without executing it
525 - Add a verbose mode to "systemctl start" and friends that explains what is being done or not done
526 - "systemctl disable" on a static unit prints no message and does
527 nothing. "systemctl enable" does nothing, and gives a bad message
528 about it. Should fix both to print nice actionable messages.
529 - print nice message from systemctl --failed if there are no entries shown, and hook that into ExecStartPre of rescue.service/emergency.service
530 - add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
531 - systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into does not exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
532 - systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
533 - better error message if you run systemctl without systemd running
534 - systemctl status output should should include list of triggering units and their status
537 - "systemctl mask" should find all names by which a unit is accessible
538 (i.e. by scanning for symlinks to it) and link them all to /dev/null
541 - timer units should get the ability to trigger when:
542 o CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (TFD_TIMER_CANCEL_ON_SET)
544 - Support 2012-02~4 as syntax for specifying the fourth to last day of the month.
545 - calendarspec: support value ranges with ".." notation. Example: 2013-4..8-1
546 - Modulate timer frequency based on battery state
548 * add libsystemd-password or so to query passwords during boot using the password agent logic
550 * clean up date formatting and parsing so that all absolute/relative timestamps we format can also be parsed
552 * on shutdown: move utmp, wall, audit logic all into PID 1 (or logind?), get rid of systemd-update-utmp-runlevel
554 * make repeated alt-ctrl-del presses printing a dump, or even force a reboot without
555 waiting for the timeout
557 * hostnamed: before returning information from /etc/machine-info.conf check the modification data and reread. Similar for localed, ...
559 * currently x-systemd.timeout is lost in the initrd, since crypttab is copied into dracut, but fstab is not
562 - to allow "linking" of nspawn containers, extend --network-bridge= so
563 that it can dynamically create bridge interfaces that are refcounted
564 by the containers on them. For each group of containers to link together
565 - nspawn -x should support ephemeral instances of gpt images
566 - emulate /dev/kmsg using CUSE and turn off the syslog syscall
567 with seccomp. That should provide us with a useful log buffer that
568 systemd can log to during early boot, and disconnect container logs
569 from the kernel's logs.
570 - as soon as networkd has a bus interface, hook up --network-interface=,
571 --network-bridge= with networkd, to trigger netdev creation should an
573 - don't copy /etc/resolv.conf from host into container unless we are in
575 - a nice way to boot up without machine id set, so that it is set at boot
576 automatically for supporting --ephemeral. Maybe hash the host machine id
577 together with the machine name to generate the machine id for the container
578 - fix logic always print a final newline on output.
579 https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/272#issuecomment-113153176
580 - should optionally support receiving WATCHDOG=1 messages from its payload
582 - should send out sd_notify("WATCHDOG=1") messages
583 - optionally automatically add FORWARD rules to iptables whenever nspawn is
584 running, remove them when shut down.
585 - Improve error message when --bind= is used on a non-existing source
587 - maybe make copying of /etc/resolv.conf optional, and skip it if --read-only
591 - "machinectl list" should probably show columns for OS version and IP
593 - add an API so that libvirt-lxc can inform us about network interfaces being
594 removed or added to an existing machine
595 - "machinectl migrate" or similar to copy a container from or to a
596 difference host, via ssh
597 - introduce systemd-nspawn-ephemeral@.service, and hook it into
598 "machinectl start" with a new --ephemeral switch
599 - "machinectl status" should also show internal logs of the container in
601 - "machinectl list-images" should show os-release data, as well as
602 machine-info data (including deployment level)
603 - "machinectl history"
605 - "machinectl commit" that takes a writable snapshot of a tree, invokes a
606 shell in it, and marks it read-only after use
609 - generate a nice warning if mkfs.btrfs is missing
612 - cryptsetup-generator: allow specification of passwords in crypttab itself
613 - move cryptsetup key caching into kernel keyctl?
614 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54982
615 - support rd.luks.allow-discards= kernel cmdline params in cryptsetup generator
617 * hw watchdog: optionally try to use the preset watchdog timeout instead of always overriding it
618 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54712
620 * create /sbin/init symlinks from the build system
622 * MountFlags=shared acts as MountFlags=slave right now.
624 * properly handle loop back mounts via fstab, especially regards to fsck/passno
626 * initialize the hostname from the fs label of /, if /etc/hostname does not exist?
631 - add trigger --subsystem-match=usb/usb_device device
632 - reimport udev db after MOVE events for devices without dev_t
634 * 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
636 * There's currently no way to cancel fsck (used to be possible via C-c or c on the console)
638 * add option to sockets to avoid activation. Instead just drop packets/connections, see http://cyberelk.net/tim/2012/02/15/portreserve-systemd-solution/
641 - save coredump in Windows/Mozilla minidump format
642 - move PID 1 segfaults to /var/lib/systemd/coredump?
644 * support crash reporting operation modes (https://live.gnome.org/GnomeOS/Design/Whiteboards/ProblemReporting)
646 * default to actual 32-bit PIDs, via /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max
648 * be able to specify a forced restart of service A where service B depends on, in case B
649 needs to be auto-respawned?
652 - apply "x" on "D" too (see patch from William Douglas)
654 - instead of ignoring unknown fields, reject them.
655 - creating new directories/subvolumes/fifos/device nodes
656 should not follow symlinks. None of the other adjustment or creation
657 calls follow symlinks.
659 * make sure systemd-ask-password-wall does not shutdown systemd-ask-password-console too early
661 * verify that the AF_UNIX sockets of a service in the fs still exist
662 when we start a service in order to avoid confusion when a user
663 assumes starting a service is enough to make it accessible
665 * Make it possible to set the keymap independently from the font on
666 the kernel cmdline. Right now setting one resets also the other.
668 * and a dbus call to generate target from current state
670 * write blog stories about:
671 - hwdb: what belongs into it, lsusb
672 - enabling dbus services
674 - how to make changes to sysctl and sysfs attributes
676 - how to pass throw-away units to systemd, or dynamically change properties of existing units
677 - testing with Harald's awesome test kit
679 - how to develop against journal browsing APIs
680 - the journal HTTP iface
681 - non-cgroup resource management
682 - dynamic resource management with cgroups
683 - refreshed, longer missions statement
684 - calendar time events
685 - init=/bin/sh vs. "emergency" mode, vs. "rescue" mode, vs. "multi-user" mode, vs. "graphical" mode, and the debug shell
686 - how to create your own target
687 - instantiated apache, dovecot and so on
688 - hooking a script into various stages of shutdown/rearly booot
690 * investigate whether the gnome pty helper should be moved into systemd, to provide cgroup support.
692 * dot output for --test showing the 'initial transaction'
694 * fingerprint.target, wireless.target, gps.target, netdevice.target
697 - .timer units should optionally support CLOCK_BOOTTIME in addition to CLOCK_MONOTONIC
698 - When logging about multiple units (stopping BoundTo units, conflicts, etc.),
699 log both units as UNIT=, so that journalctl -u triggers on both.
700 - generate better errors when people try to set transient properties
701 that are not supported...
702 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-February/028076.html
703 - maybe introduce WantsMountsFor=? Usecase:
704 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-January/027729.html
705 - recreate systemd's D-Bus private socket file on SIGUSR2
706 - GC unreferenced jobs (such as .device jobs)
707 - move PAM code into its own binary
708 - when we automatically restart a service, ensure we restart its rdeps, too.
709 - for services: do not set $HOME in services unless requested
710 - hide PAM options in fragment parser when compile time disabled
711 - Support --test based on current system state
712 - 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().
713 - after deserializing sockets in socket.c we should reapply sockopts and things
714 - drop PID 1 reloading, only do reexecing (difficult: Reload()
715 currently is properly synchronous, Reexec() is weird, because we
716 cannot delay the response properly until we are back, so instead of
717 being properly synchronous we just keep open the fd and close it
718 when done. That means clients do not get a successful method reply,
719 but much rather a disconnect on success.
720 - when breaking cycles drop sysv services first, then services from /run, then from /etc, then from /usr
721 - when a bus name of a service disappears from the bus make sure to queue further activation requests
724 - allow port=0 in .socket units
725 - maybe introduce ExecRestartPre=
726 - add ReloadSignal= for configuring a reload signal to use
727 - implement Register= switch in .socket units to enable registration
728 in Avahi, RPC and other socket registration services.
729 - allow Type=simple with PIDFile=
730 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=723942
731 - allow writing multiple conditions in unit files on one line
732 - load-fragment: when loading a unit file via a chain of symlinks
733 verify that it is not masked via any of the names traversed.
734 - introduce Type=pid-file
735 - ExecOnFailure=/usr/bin/foo
736 - introduce mix of BindTo and Requisite
737 - add a concept of RemainAfterExit= to scope units
738 - Set NoNewPrivileges= on all of our own services, where that makes sense
739 - Allow multiple ExecStart= for all Type= settings, so that we can cover rescue.service nicely
740 - consider adding RuntimeDirectoryUser= + RuntimeDirectoryGroup=
743 - Make sure ID_PATH is always exported and complete for
744 network devices where possible, so we can safely rely
746 - check MTUBytes parsing (expecting size_t but we are using unsigned)
749 - add support for more attribute types
750 - inbuilt piping support (essentially degenerate async)? see loopback-setup.c and other places
753 - add more keys to [Route] and [Address] sections
754 - add support for more DHCPv4 options (and, longer term, other kinds of dynamic config)
755 - add proper initrd support (in particular generate .network/.link files based on /proc/cmdline)
756 - add reduced [Link] support to .network files
757 - add Scope= parsing option for [Network]
758 - properly handle routerless dhcp leases
759 - add more attribute support for SIT tunnel
760 - work with non-Ethernet devices
761 - add support for more bond options
762 - dhcp: do we allow configuring dhcp routes on interfaces that are not the one we got the dhcp info from?
763 - the DHCP lease data (such as NTP/DNS) is still made available when
764 a carrier is lost on a link. It should be removed instantly.
765 - expose in the API the following bits:
766 - option 15, domain name and/or option 119, search list
767 - option 12, host name and/or option 81, fqdn
768 - option 123, 144, geolocation
769 - option 252, configure http proxy (PAC/wpad)
770 - provide a way to define a per-network interface default metric value
771 for all routes to it. possibly a second default for DHCP routes.
772 - allow Name= to be specified repeatedly in the [Match] section. Maybe also
773 support Name=foo*|bar*|baz ?
774 - duplicate address check for static IPs (like ARPCHECK in network-scripts)
775 - allow DUID/IAID to be customized, see issue #394.
776 - support configuration option for TSO (tcp segmentation offload)
777 - whenever uplink info changes, make DHCP server send out FORCERENEW
779 * networkd-wait-online:
780 - make operstates to wait for configurable?
783 - figure out how much we can increase Maximum Message Size
784 - support RFC4702 (pass FQDN)
787 - add functions to set previously stored IPv6 addresses on startup and get
788 them at shutdown; store them in client->ia_na
789 - write more test cases
790 - implement reconfigure support, see 5.3., 15.11. and 22.20.
791 - implement support for temporary adressess (IA_TA)
792 - implement dhcpv6 authentication
793 - investigate the usefulness of Confirm messages; i.e. are there any
794 situations where the link changes without any loss in carrier detection
796 - some servers don't do rapid commit without a filled in IA_NA, verify
802 - natively watch for dbus-*.service symlinks (PENDING)
803 - teach dbus to activate all services it finds in /etc/systemd/services/org-*.service
805 * fix alsa mixer restore to not print error when no config is stored
807 * make cryptsetup lower --iter-time
809 * patch kernel for xattr support in /dev, /proc/, /sys?
811 * kernel: add device_type = "fb", "fbcon" to class "graphics"
813 * drop accountsservice's StandardOutput=syslog and Type=dbus fields
815 * dbus: in fedora, make /var/lib/dbus/machine-id a symlink to /etc/machine-id
817 * /usr/bin/service should actually show the new command line
819 * 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=
821 * fedora: F20: go timer units all the way, leave cron.daily for cron
823 * neither pkexec nor sudo initialize environ[] from the PAM environment?
825 * fedora: update policy to declare access mode and ownership of unit files to root:root 0644, and add an rpmlint check for it
827 * register catalog database signature as file magic
829 * zsh shell completion:
830 - <command> <verb> -<TAB> should complete options, but currently does not
831 - systemctl add-wants,add-requires
836 * look for close() vs. close_nointr() vs. close_nointr_nofail()
838 * check for strerror(r) instead of strerror(-r)
840 * Use PR_SET_PROCTITLE_AREA if it becomes available in the kernel
844 * set_put(), hashmap_put() return values check. i.e. == 0 does not free()!
846 * use secure_getenv() instead of getenv() where appropriate
848 * link up selected blog stories from man pages and unit files Documentation= fields
