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 * MEMORY return code is overloaded for syntax errors in the command line.
16 str_split_quoted() should return a real return code, so spawn_child can
17 report the failure properly.
19 * When systemctl --host is used, underlying ssh connection can remain open.
20 bus_close does not kill children?
24 * Fedora: add an rpmlint check that verifies that all unit files in the RPM are listed in %systemd_post macros.
26 * Fedora: move kernel image to /usr/lib/modules/, kernel-install will take care of populating /boot
28 * Fedora: remove /etc/resolv.conf tmpfiles hack
30 * wiki: update journal format documentation for lz4 additions
32 * When lz4 gets an API for lz4 command output, make use of it to
33 compress coredumps in a way compatible with /usr/bin/lz4.
37 * rework fsckd/fsck's connection logic or remove fsck entirely
39 * fix userns support in nspawn, or remove it entirely
41 * make unmount-on-eject work again
43 * bus-proxy: GetConnectionSELinuxSecurityContext() is completely broken
45 * logind: make sure the syncrhonous polkit checks are not interactive, i.e. supporess client side interactive bus message header flag for them
47 * timer units triggering services with failing conditions run busy:
48 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-April/030095.html
52 * Maybe add support for the equivalent of "ethtool advertise" to .link files?
53 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-April/030112.html
55 * fstab-generator should generate systemd-fsck-root.service when
56 running in the initrd, and operate on the right device.
58 * the default stop timeout for units is not documented anywhere.
60 * .timer units should optionally support CLOCK_BOOTTIME in addition to CLOCK_MONOTONIC
62 * rm_rf() should be able to remove subvolumes
64 * systemd-run should support a mode where we wait for the unit to be started up
66 * create a btrfs qgroup for /var/lib/machines, and add all container
67 subvolumes we create to it.
69 * nspawn: add --overlay= to support overlay file systems, similar to
72 * When logging about multiple units (stopping BoundTo units, conflicts, etc.),
73 log both units as UNIT=, so that journalctl -u triggers on both.
75 * to allow "linking" of nspawn containers, extend --network-bridge= so
76 that it can dynamically create bridge interfaces that are refcounted
77 by the containers on them. For each group of containers to link together
79 * journalctl --verify: don't show files that are currently being
80 written to as FAIL, but instead show that their are being written
83 * assign MESSAGE_ID to log messages about failed services
85 * coredump: make the handler check /proc/$PID/rlimits for RLIMIT_CORE,
86 and supress coredump if turned off. Then change RLIMIT_CORE to
87 infinity by default for all services. This then allows per-service
88 control of coredumping.
90 * generate better errors when people try to set transient properties
91 that are not supported...
92 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-February/028076.html
94 * PID 1: when invoking systemctl preset-all on first boots, operate in
95 an exclusively additive way, i.e. never remove any pre-existing
96 symlinks, only add new ones.
98 * Introduce $LISTEN_NAMES to complement $LISTEN_FDS, containing a
99 colon separated list of identifiers for the fds passed.
101 * when the fstab-generator runs in the initrd, it should create a /dev/null mask for systemd-fsck-root.service, to avoid that the the root fs is fsck'ed twice.
103 * maybe introduce WantsMountsFor=? Usecase:
104 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-January/027729.html
106 * rework kexec logic to use new kexec_file_load() syscall, so that we
107 don't have to call kexec tool anymore.
109 * The udev blkid built-in should expose a property that reflects
110 whether media was sensed in USB CF/SD card readers. This should then
111 be used to control SYSTEMD_READY=1/0 so that USB card readers aren't
112 picked up by systemd unless they contain a medium. This would mirror
113 the behaviour we already have for CD drives.
115 * nspawn: emulate /dev/kmsg using CUSE and turn off the syslog syscall
116 with seccomp. That should provide us with a useful log buffer that
117 systemd can log to during early boot, and disconnect container logs
118 from the kernel's logs.
120 * networkd/udev: implement SR_IOV configuration in .link files:
121 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-January/027451.html
123 * When RLIMIT_NPROC is set from a unit file it currently always is set
124 for root, not for the user set in User=, which makes it
125 useless. After fixing this, set RLIMIT_NPROC for
126 systemd-journal-xyz, and all other of our services that run under
127 their own user ids, and use User= (but only in a world where userns
128 is ubiquitous since otherwise we cannot invoke those daemons on the
129 host AND in a container anymore). Also, if LimitNPROC= is used
130 without User= we should warn and refuse operation.
132 * logind: maybe allow configuration of the StopTimeout for session scopes
134 * Set NoNewPriviliges= on all of our own services, where that makes sense
136 * Rework systemctl's GetAll property parsing to use the generic bus_map_all_properties() API
138 * rework journald sigbus stuff to use mutex
140 * import-dkr: support tarsum checksum verification, if it becomes reality one day...
142 * import-dkr: convert json bits to nspawn configuration
144 * 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
146 * introduce systemd-nspawn-ephemeral@.service, and hook it into "machinectl start" with a new --ephemeral switch
148 * "machinectl status" should also show internal logs of the container in question
150 * "machinectl list-images" should show os-release data, as well as machine-info data (including deployment level)
152 * 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
154 * Port various tools to make use of verbs.[ch], where applicable
156 * "machinectl history"
160 * "machinectl commit" that takes a writable snapshot of a tree, invokes a shell in it, and marks it read-only after use
162 * systemd-nspawn -x should support ephemeral instances of gpt images
164 * hostnamectl: show root image uuid
166 * sysfs set api in libudev is not const
168 * Find a solution for SMACK capabilities stuff:
169 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-December/026188.html
171 * port libmount hookup to use API's own inotify interface, as soon as that is table in libmount
173 * "systemctl preset-all" should probably order the unit files it
174 operates on lexicographically before starting to work, in order to
175 ensure deterministic behaviour if two unit files conflict (like DMs
178 * resolved should optionally register additional per-interface LLMNR
179 names, so that for the container case we can establish the same name
180 (maybe "host") for referencing the server, everywhere.
182 * systemd-journal-upload (or a new, related tool): allow pushing out
183 journal messages onto the network in BSD syslog protocol,
184 continuously. Default to some link-local IP mcast group, to make this
185 useful as a one-stop debugging tool.
187 * synchronize console access with BSD locks:
188 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-October/024582.html
190 * as soon as we have kdbus, and sender timestamps, revisit coalescing multiple parallel daemon reloads:
191 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-December/025862.html
193 * the install state probably shouldn't get confused by generated units, think dbus1/kdbus compat!
195 * in systemctl list-unit-files: show the install value the presets would suggest for a service in a third column
197 * figure out when we can use the coarse timers
199 * sd-resolve: drop res_query wrapping, people should call via the bus to resolved instead
201 * add "systemctl start -v foobar.service" that shows logs of a service
202 while the start command runs. This is non-trivial to do without
203 races though, since we should flush out all journal messages before
204 returning from the "systemctl stop".
206 * 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
208 * timesyncd + resolved: add ugly bus calls to set NTP and DNS servers per-interface, for usage by NM
210 * 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
212 * machined: add an API so that libvirt-lxc can inform us about network interfaces being removed or added to an existing machine
214 * maybe add support for specifier expansion in user.conf, specifically DefaultEnvironment=
216 * code cleanup: retire FOREACH_WORD_QUOTED, port to unquote_first_word() loops instead
218 * introduce systemd-timesync-wait.service or so to sync on an NTP fix?
220 * systemd --user should issue sd_notify() upon reaching basic.target, not on becoming idle
222 * consider showing the unit names during boot up in the status output, not just the unit descriptions
224 * dhcp: do we allow configuring dhcp routes on interfaces that are not the one we got the dhcp info from?
226 * maybe allow timer units with an empty Units= setting, so that they
227 can be used for resuming the system but nothing else.
229 * what to do about udev db binary stability for apps? (raw access is not an option)
231 * maybe provide an API to allow migration of foreign PIDs into existing scopes.
233 * maybe support a new very "soft" reboot mode, that simply kills all processes, disassembles everything, flushes /run and sysvipc, and then reexecs systemd again
235 * man: document that corrupted journal files is nothing to act on
237 * man: maybe use the word "inspect" rather than "introspect"?
239 * "machinectl list" should probably show columns for OS version and IP addresses
241 * systemctl: if some operation fails, show log output?
244 - allow creation of units from scratch
245 - use equvalent of cat() to insert existing config as a comment, prepended with #.
246 Upon editor exit, lines with one # are removed, lines with two # are left with one #, etc.
248 * refcounting in sd-resolve is borked
250 * exponential backoff in timesyncd and resolved when we cannot reach a server
252 * unquote_many_words() should probably be used by a lot of code that
253 currently uses FOREACH_WORD and friends. For example, most conf
254 parsing callbacks should use it.
256 * merge ~/.local/share and ~/.local/lib into one similar /usr/lib and /usr/share....
258 * systemd.show_status= should probably have a mode where only failed
261 * add systemd.abort_on_kill or some other such flag to send SIGABRT instead of SIGKILL
262 (throughout the codebase, not only PID1)
265 - add LLDP client side support
266 - the DHCP lease data (such as NTP/DNS) is still made available when
267 a carrier is lost on a link. It should be removed instantly.
268 - .network setting that allows overriding of the hostname to send to the dhcp server
269 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-July/021550.html
270 - expose in the API the following bits:
271 - option 15, domain name and/or option 119, search list
272 - option 12, host name and/or option 81, fqdn
273 - option 100, 101, timezone
274 - option 123, 144, geolocation
275 - option 252, configure http proxy (PAC/wpad)
276 - networkd's dhcp server should transparently pass on the DNS and
277 NTP server list it got from user configuration and its dhcp client
278 to clients. It should also pass on its own timezone information.
279 - provide a way to define a per-network interface default metric value
280 for all routes to it. possibly a second default for DHCP routes.
281 - allow Name= to be specified repeatedly in the [Match] section. Maybe also
282 support Name=foo*|bar*|baz ?
283 - duplicate address check for static IPs (like ARPCHECK in network-scripts)
286 - put networkd events and rtnl events at a higher priority, so that
287 we always process them before we process client requests
289 - use base64 for key presentation?
290 - add display of private key types (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4034#appendix-A.1.1)?
291 - add nice formatting of DNS timestamps
296 - DNS-SD service registration from socket units
300 - maybe randomize DNS UDP source ports
301 - maybe compare query section of DNS replies
303 * Allow multiple ExecStart= for all Type= settings, so that we can cover rescue.service nicely
305 * Add a new verb "systemctl top"
307 * add new gpt type for btrfs volumes
309 * support empty /etc boots nicely:
310 - nspawn/gpt-generator: introduce new gpt partition type for /usr
311 - fstab-generator: support systemd.volatile=yes|no|state on the kernel cmdline, too, similar to nspawn's --volatile=
313 * generator that automatically discovers btrfs subvolumes, identifies their purpose based on some xattr on them.
315 * timer units: actually add extra delays to timer units with high AccuracySec values, don't start them already when we are awake...
317 * a way for container managers to turn off getty starting via $container_headless= or so...
319 * figure out a nice way how we can let the admin know what child/sibling unit causes cgroup membership for a specific unit
321 * mount_cgroup_controllers(): symlinks need to get the label applied
323 * For timer units: add some mechanisms so that timer units that trigger immediately on boot do not have the services
324 they run added to the initial transaction and thus confuse Type=idle.
326 * 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)
328 * sd-event: generate a failure of a default event loop is executed out-of-thread
330 * add bus api to query unit file's X fields.
332 * consider adding RuntimeDirectoryUser= + RuntimeDirectoryGroup=
334 * sd-event: define more intervals where we will shift wakeup intervals around in, 1h, 6h, 24h, ...
336 * gpt-auto-generator:
337 - Support LUKS for root devices
338 - Define new partition type for encrypted swap? Support probed LUKS for encrypted swap?
339 - Make /home automount rather than mount?
341 * add generator that pulls in systemd-network from containers when
342 CAP_NET_ADMIN is set, more than the loopback device is defined, even
343 when it is otherwise off
345 * MessageQueueMessageSize= and RLimitFSIZE= (and suchlike) should use parse_iec_size().
347 * "busctl status" works only as root on dbus1, since we cannot read
350 * implement Distribute= in socket units to allow running multiple
351 service instances processing the listening socket, and open this up
354 * socket units: support creating sockets in different namespace,
355 opening it up for JoinsNamespaceOf=. This would require to fork off
356 a tiny process that joins the namespace and creates/binds the socket
357 and passes this back to PID1 via SCM_RIGHTS. This also could be used
358 to allow Chown/chgrp on sockets without requiring NSS in PID 1.
360 * New service property: maximum CPU and wallclock runtime for a service
362 * introduce bus call FreezeUnit(s, b), as well as "systemctl freeze
363 $UNIT" and "systemctl thaw $UNIT" as wrappers around this. The calls
364 should SIGSTOP all unit processes in a loop until all processes of
365 it are fully stopped. This can later be used for app management by
366 desktop UIs such as gnome-shell to freeze apps that are not visible
367 on screen, not unlike how job control works on the shell
370 - implement per-slice CPUFairScheduling=1 switch
371 - handle jointly mounted controllers correctly
372 - introduce high-level settings for RT budget, swappiness
373 - how to reset dynamically changed unit cgroup attributes sanely?
374 - when reloading configuration, apply new cgroup configuration
375 - when recursively showing the cgroup hierarchy, optionally also show
376 the hierarchies of child processes
379 - add field to transient units that indicate whether systemd or somebody else saves/restores its settings, for integration with libvirt
380 - ensure scope units may be started only a single time
382 * Automatically configure swap partition to use for hibernation by looking for largest swap partition on the root disk?
384 * when we detect low battery and no AC on boot, show pretty splash and refuse boot
386 * machined, localed: when we try to kill an empty cgroup, generate an ESRCH error over the bus
388 * libsystemd-journal, libsystemd-login, libudev: add calls to easily attach these objects to sd-event event loops
390 * be more careful what we export on the bus as (usec_t) 0 and (usec_t) -1
392 * unify dispatch table in systemctl_main() and friends
394 * 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
396 * After coming back from hibernation reset hibernation swap partition using the /dev/snapshot ioctl APIs
398 * If we try to find a unit via a dangling symlink, generate a clean
399 error. Currently, we just ignore it and read the unit from the search
402 * refuse boot if /etc/os-release is missing or /etc/machine-id cannot be set up
404 * btrfs raid assembly: some .device jobs stay stuck in the queue
406 * make sure gdm does not use multi-user-x but the new default X configuration file, and then remove multi-user-x from systemd
408 * man: the documentation of Restart= currently is very misleading and suggests the tools from ExecStartPre= might get restarted.
410 * load .d/*.conf dropins for device units
412 * allow implementation of InaccessibleDirectories=/ plus
413 ReadOnlyDirectories=... for whitelisting files for a service.
416 - GetAllProperties() on a non-existing object does not result in a failure currently
417 - kdbus: process fd=-1 for incoming msgs
418 - port to sd-resolve for connecting to TCP dbus servers
419 - kdbus: maybe add controlling tty metadata fields
420 - 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
421 - when kdbus does not take our message without memfds, try again with memfds
422 - see if we can drop more message validation on the sending side
423 - add API to clone sd_bus_message objects
424 - make AddMatch calls on dbus1 transports async?
425 - kdbus: matches against source or destination pids for an "strace -p"-like feel. Problem: The PID info needs to be available in userspace too...
426 - longer term: priority inheritance
429 - NameLost/NameAcquired obsolete
432 - update systemd.special(7) to mention that dbus.socket is only about the compatibility socket now
433 - test bloom filter generation indexes
434 - bus-proxy: when passing messages from kdbus, make sure we properly
435 handle the case where a large number of fds is appended that we
436 cannot pass into sendmsg() of the AF_UNIX sokcet (which only accepts
438 - kdbus: introduce a concept of "send-only" connections
439 - 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.
442 - allow multiple signal handlers per signal?
443 - document chaining of signal handler for SIGCHLD and child handlers
445 * in the final killing spree, detect processes from the root directory, and
446 complain loudly if they have argv[0][0] == '@' set.
447 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=961044
449 * investigate endianness issues of UUID vs. GUID
451 * dbus: when a unit failed to load (i.e. is in UNIT_ERROR state), we
452 should be able to safely try another attempt when the bus call LoadUnit() is invoked.
454 * add a pam module that passes the hdd passphrase into the PAM stack and then expires it, for usage by gdm auto-login.
456 * add a pam module that on password changes updates any LUKS slot where the password matches
458 * maybe add a generator that looks for "systemd.run=" on the kernel cmdline for container usercases...
460 * cgtop: make cgtop useful in a container
463 - add 'set -e' to scripts in test/
464 - make stuff in test/ work with separate output dir
466 * seems that when we follow symlinks to units we prefer the symlink
467 destination path over /etc and /usr. We should not do that. Instead
468 /etc should always override /run+/usr and also any symlink
471 * when isolating, try to figure out a way how we implicitly can order
472 all units we stop before the isolating unit...
474 * teach ConditionKernelCommandLine= globs or regexes (in order to match foobar={no,0,off})
476 * BootLoaderSpec: Clarify that the kernel has to be in $BOOT. Clarify
477 that the boot loader should be installed to the ESP. Define a way
478 how an installer can figure out whether a BLS compliant boot loader
481 * think about requeuing jobs when daemon-reload is issued? usecase:
482 the initrd issues a reload after fstab from the host is accessible
483 and we might want to requeue the mounts local-fs acquired through
486 * systemd-inhibit: make taking delay locks useful: support sending SIGINT or SIGTERM on PrepareForSleep()
488 * journal-or-kmsg is currently broken? See reverted commit 4a01181e460686d8b4a543b1dfa7f77c9e3c5ab8.
490 * remove any syslog support from log.c -- we probably cannot do this before split-off udev is gone for good
492 * shutdown logging: store to EFI var, and store to USB stick?
494 * write UI tool that pops up emergency messages from the journal as notification
496 * think about window-manager-run-as-user-service problem: exit 0 → activate shutdown.target; exit != 0 → restart service
498 * merge unit_kill_common() and unit_kill_context()
500 * introduce ExecCondition= in services
503 - honor language efi variables for default language selection (if there are any?)
504 - honor timezone efi variables for default timezone selection (if there are any?)
505 - change bootctl to be backed by systemd-bootd to control temporary and persistent default boot goal plus efi variables
507 * maybe do not install getty@tty1.service symlink in /etc but in /usr?
509 * re-enable "make check" for gtk-doc (broken for unknown reason)
511 * fstab: add new mount option x-systemd-after=/foobar/waldo to allow manual dependencies to other mount points
512 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=812826
514 * print a nicer explanation if people use variable/specifier expansion in ExecStart= for the first word
516 * mount: turn dependency information from /proc/self/mountinfo into dependency information between systemd units.
519 - logind: optionally, ignore idle-hint logic for autosuspend, block suspend as long as a session is around
520 - When we update the kernel all kind of hibernation should be prohibited until shutdown/reboot
521 - logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
522 - Add pretty name for seats in logind
523 - logind: allow showing logout dialog from system?
524 - we should probably handle SIGTERM/SIGINT to not leave dot files around, just in case
525 - session scopes/user unit: add RequiresMountsFor for the home directory of the user
526 - add Suspend() bus calls which take timestamps to fix double suspend issues when somebody hits suspend and closes laptop quickly.
527 - if pam_systemd is invoked by su from a process that is outside of a
528 any session we should probably just become a NOP, since that's
529 usually not a real user session but just some system code that just
531 - logind: make the Suspend()/Hibernate() bus calls wait for the for
532 the job to be completed. before returning, so that clients can wait
533 for "systemctl suspend" to finish to know when the suspending is
535 - logind: when the power button is pressed short, just popup a
536 logout dialog. If it is pressed for 1s, do the usual
537 shutdown. Inspiration are Macs here.
538 - expose "Locked" property on logind sesison objects
539 - given that logind now lets PID 1 do all nasty work, we can
540 probably reduce the capability set it retains substantially.
541 (we need CAP_SYS_ADMIN for drmSetMaster(), so maybe not worth it)
542 - expose orientation sensors and tablet mode through logind
544 * exec: when deinitializating a tty device fix the perms and group, too, not only when initializing. Set access mode/gid to 0620/tty.
546 * service: watchdog logic: for testing purposes allow ping, but do not require pong
549 - consider introducing implicit _TTY= + _PPID= + _EUID= + _EGID= + _FSUID= + _FSGID= fields
550 - import and delete pstore filesystem content at startup
551 - journald: also get thread ID from client, plus thread name
552 - journal: when waiting for journal additions in the client always sleep at least 1s or so, in order to minimize wakeups
553 - add API to close/reopen/get fd for journal client fd in libsystemd-journal.
554 - fallback to /dev/log based logging in libsystemd-journal, if we cannot log natively?
555 - declare the local journal protocol stable in the wiki interface chart
556 - journal: reuse XZ context
557 - sd-journal: speed up sd_journal_get_data() with transparent hash table in bg
558 - journald: when dropping msgs due to ratelimit make sure to write
559 "dropped %u messages" not only when we are about to print the next
560 message that works, but alraedy after a short tiemout
561 - check if we can make journalctl by default use --follow mode inside of less if called without args?
562 - maybe add API to send pairs of iovecs via sd_journal_send
563 - journal: when writing journal auto-rotate if time jumps backwards
564 - journal: add a setgid "systemd-journal" utility to invoke from libsystemd-journal, which passes fds via STDOUT and does PK access
565 - journactl: support negative filtering, i.e. FOOBAR!="waldo",
566 and !FOOBAR for events without FOOBAR.
567 - journal: store timestamp of journal_file_set_offline() int he header,
568 so it is possible to display when the file was last synced.
569 - 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.
570 - journal: find a way to allow dropping history early, based on priority, other rules
571 - journal: When used on NFS, check payload hashes
572 - journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
573 - refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
574 - journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
575 - journal: deal nicely with byte-by-byte copied files, especially regards header
576 - journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the components would fit
577 - Replace utmp, wtmp, btmp, and lastlog completely with journal
578 - journalctl: instead --after-cursor= maybe have a --cursor=XYZ+1 syntax?
579 - when a kernel driver logs in a tight loop, we should ratelimit that too.
580 - journald: optionally, log debug messages to /run but everything else to /var
581 - journald: when we drop syslog messages because the syslog socket is
582 full, make sure to write how many messages are lost as first thing
583 to syslog when it works again.
584 - journald: make sure ratelimit is actually really per-service with the new cgroup changes
585 - change systemd-journal-flush into a service that stays around during
586 boot, and causes the journal to be moved back to /run on shutdown,
587 so that we do not keep /var busy. This needs to happen synchronously,
588 hence doing this via signals is not going to work.
589 - optionally support running journald from the command line for testing purposes in external projects
590 - journald: allow per-priority and per-service retention times when rotating/vacuuming
591 - journald: make use of uid-range.h to managed uid ranges to split
593 - journalctl: add the ability to look for the most recent process of a binary. journalctl /usr/bin/X11 --pid=-1 or so...
594 - improve journalctl performance by loading journal files
595 lazily. Encode just enough information in the file name, so that we
596 do not have to open it to know that it is not interesting for us, for
597 the most common operations.
600 - document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fields in
601 [Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
602 - man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
603 - document the exit codes when services fail before they are exec()ed
604 - document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
605 - document in wiki how to map ical recurrence events to systemd timer unit calendar specifications
606 - add a man page containing packaging guidelines and recommending usage of things like Documentation=, PrivateTmp=, PrivateNetwork= and ReadOnlyDirectories=/etc /usr.
607 - document systemd-journal-flush.service properly
608 - documentation: recommend to connect the timer units of a service to the service via Also= in [Install]
609 - man: document the very specific env the shutdown drop-in tools live in
610 - man: extend runlevel(8) to mention that runlevels suck, and are dead. Maybe add runlevel(7) with a note about that too
611 - man: add more examples to man pages
612 - man: maybe sort directives in man pages, and take sections from --help and apply them to man too
615 - systemctl list-jobs - show dependencies
616 - add systemctl switch to dump transaction without executing it
617 - Add a verbose mode to "systemctl start" and friends that explains what is being done or not done
618 - "systemctl disable" on a static unit prints no message and does
619 nothing. "systemctl enable" does nothing, and gives a bad message
620 about it. Should fix both to print nice actionable messages.
621 - print nice message from systemctl --failed if there are no entries shown, and hook that into ExecStartPre of rescue.service/emergency.service
622 - add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
623 - systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into does not exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
624 - systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
625 - support "systemctl stop foobar@.service" to stop all units matching a certain template
626 - Something is wrong with symlink handling of "autovt@.service" in "systemctl list-unit-files"
627 - better error message if you run systemctl without systemd running
628 - systemctl status output should should include list of triggering units and their status
631 - "systemctl mask" should find all names by which a unit is accessible
632 (i.e. by scanning for symlinks to it) and link them all to /dev/null
633 - systemctl list-unit-files should list generated files (and probably with a new state "generated" for them, or so)
636 - timer units should get the ability to trigger when:
637 o CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (TFD_TIMER_CANCEL_ON_SET)
639 - Support 2012-02~4 as syntax for specifying the fourth to last day of the month.
640 - calendarspec: support value ranges with ".." notation. Example: 2013-4..8-1
641 - 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
642 - Modulate timer frequency based on battery state
644 * add libsystemd-password or so to query passwords during boot using the password agent logic
646 * 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().
648 * fedup: add --unit to systemctl switch-root somehow
649 * fedup: do not delete initrd on switch-root
652 * clean up date formatting and parsing so that all absolute/relative timestamps we format can also be parsed
654 * on shutdown: move utmp, wall, audit logic all into PID 1 (or logind?), get rid of systemd-update-utmp-runlevel
656 * make repeated alt-ctrl-del presses printing a dump, or even force a reboot without
657 waiting for the timeout
659 * hostnamed: before returning information from /etc/machine-info.conf check the modification data and reread. Similar for localed, ...
661 * currently x-systemd.timeout is lost in the initrd, since crypttab is copied into dracut, but fstab is not
664 - refuses to boot containers without /etc/machine-id (OK?), and with empty /etc/machine-id (not OK).
667 - cryptsetup-generator: allow specification of passwords in crypttab itself
668 - move cryptsetup key caching into kernel keyctl?
669 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54982
670 - support rd.luks.allow-discards= kernel cmdline params in cryptsetup generator
672 * hw watchdog: optionally try to use the preset watchdog timeout instead of always overriding it
673 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54712
675 * after deserializing sockets in socket.c we should reapply sockopts and things
677 * make timer units go away after they elapsed
679 * move PID 1 segfaults to /var/lib/systemd/coredump?
681 * create /sbin/init symlinks from the build system
683 * allow writing multiple conditions in unit files on one line
685 * MountFlags=shared acts as MountFlags=slave right now.
687 * drop PID 1 reloading, only do reexecing (difficult: Reload()
688 currently is properly synchronous, Reexec() is weird, because we
689 cannot delay the response properly until we are back, so instead of
690 being properly synchronous we just keep open the fd and close it
691 when done. That means clients do not get a successful method reply,
692 but much rather a disconnect on success.
694 * properly handle loop back mounts via fstab, especially regards to fsck/passno
696 * initialize the hostname from the fs label of /, if /etc/hostname does not exist?
698 * rename "userspace" to "core-os"
700 * load-fragment: when loading a unit file via a chain of symlinks
701 verify that it is not masked via any of the names traversed.
703 * introduce Type=pid-file
705 * change Requires=basic.target to RequisiteOverride=basic.target
707 * when breaking cycles drop sysv services first, then services from /run, then from /etc, then from /usr
709 * automount: implement expire:
710 - set superblock timeout AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_TIMEOUT_CMD
711 - periodically run AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_EXPIRE_CMD
712 - every timeout/4 (original autofs logic)
713 - blocking, needs a thread
715 - receive expire packet on pipe if kernel tells the timeout is over
717 - answer expire packet on pipe with AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_{READY,FAIL}_CMD
718 - AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_EXPIRE_CMD returns
720 * ExecOnFailure=/usr/bin/foo
725 - add trigger --subsystem-match=usb/usb_device device
726 - reimport udev db after MOVE events for devices without dev_t
728 * 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
730 * introduce mix of BindTo and Requisite
732 * There's currently no way to cancel fsck (used to be possible via C-c or c on the console)
734 * add option to sockets to avoid activation. Instead just drop packets/connections, see http://cyberelk.net/tim/2012/02/15/portreserve-systemd-solution/
736 * default unix qlen is too small (10). bump sysctl? add sockopt?
738 * save coredump in Windows/Mozilla minidump format
740 * support crash reporting operation modes (https://live.gnome.org/GnomeOS/Design/Whiteboards/ProblemReporting)
742 * default to actual 32-bit PIDs, via /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max
744 * be able to specify a forced restart of service A where service B depends on, in case B
745 needs to be auto-respawned?
747 * when a bus name of a service disappears from the bus make sure to queue further activation requests
750 - apply "x" on "D" too (see patch from William Douglas)
752 - instead of ignoring unknown fields, reject them.
754 * for services: do not set $HOME in services unless requested
756 * hide PAM options in fragment parser when compile time disabled
758 * when we automatically restart a service, ensure we restart its rdeps, too.
760 * allow Type=simple with PIDFile=
761 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=723942
763 * move PAM code into its own binary
765 * implement Register= switch in .socket units to enable registration
766 in Avahi, RPC and other socket registration services.
768 * make sure systemd-ask-password-wall does not shutdown systemd-ask-password-console too early
770 * add ReloadSignal= for configuring a reload signal to use
772 * verify that the AF_UNIX sockets of a service in the fs still exist
773 when we start a service in order to avoid confusion when a user
774 assumes starting a service is enough to make it accessible
776 * Make it possible to set the keymap independently from the font on
777 the kernel cmdline. Right now setting one resets also the other.
779 * and a dbus call to generate target from current state
781 * GC unreferenced jobs (such as .device jobs)
783 * write blog stories about:
784 - hwdb: what belongs into it, lsusb
785 - enabling dbus services
787 - how to make changes to sysctl and sysfs attributes

800 - instantiated apache, dovecot and so on
801 - hooking a script into various stages of shutdown/rearly booot
803 * allow port=0 in .socket units
805 * recreate systemd's D-Bus private socket file on SIGUSR2
807 * Support --test based on current system state
809 * investigate whether the gnome pty helper should be moved into systemd, to provide cgroup support.
811 * maybe introduce ExecRestartPre=
813 * dot output for --test showing the 'initial transaction'
815 * fingerprint.target, wireless.target, gps.target, netdevice.target
818 - figure out a simple way to wait for journal events in a way that
820 - add documentation to systemd.daemon
823 - plot per-process IO utilization
824 - group processes based on service association (cgroups)
825 - document initcall_debug
826 - kernel cmdline "bootchart" option for simplicity?
829 - Make sure ID_PATH is always exported and complete for
830 network devices where possible, so we can safely rely
832 - check MTUBytes parsing (expecting size_t but we are using unsigned)
835 - add support for more attribute types
836 - inbuilt piping support (essentially degenerate async)? see loopback-setup.c and other places
839 - add more keys to [Route] and [Address] sections
840 - add support for more DHCPv4 options (and, longer term, other kinds of dynamic config)
841 - add proper initrd support (in particular generate .network/.link files based on /proc/cmdline)
842 - add reduced [Link] support to .network files
843 - add Scope= parsing option for [Network]
844 - properly handle routerless dhcp leases
845 - add more attribute support for SIT tunnel
846 - work with non-ethernet devices
847 - add support for more bond options
849 * networkd-wait-online:
850 - make operstates to wait for configurable?
853 - figure out how much we can increase Maximum Message Size
854 - export timezone information
855 - support RFC4702 (pass FQDN)
858 - add functions to set previously stored IPv6 addresses on startup and get
859 them at shutdown; store them in client->ia_na
860 - write more test cases
861 - implement reconfigure support, see 5.3., 15.11. and 22.20.
862 - implement support for temporary adressess (IA_TA)
863 - implement dhcpv6 authentication
864 - investigate the usefulness of Confirm messages; i.e. are there any
865 situations where the link changes without any loss in carrier detection
867 - some servers don't do rapid commit without a filled in IA_NA, verify
873 - natively watch for dbus-*.service symlinks (PENDING)
874 - teach dbus to activate all services it finds in /etc/systemd/services/org-*.service
876 * fix alsa mixer restore to not print error when no config is stored
878 * make cryptsetup lower --iter-time
880 * patch kernel for xattr support in /dev, /proc/, /sys?
882 * kernel: add device_type = "fb", "fbcon" to class "graphics"
884 * drop accountsservice's StandardOutput=syslog and Type=dbus fields
886 * dbus upstream still refers to dbus.target and should not
888 * dbus: in fedora, make /var/lib/dbus/machine-id a symlink to /etc/machine-id
890 * add "# export SYSTEMD_PAGER=" to bash login
892 * /usr/bin/service should actually show the new command line
894 * 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=
896 * fedora: F20: go timer units all the way, leave cron.daily for cron
898 * neither pkexec nor sudo initialize environ[] from the PAM environment?
900 * fedora: update policy to declare access mode and ownership of unit files to root:root 0644, and add an rpmlint check for it
902 * register catalog database signature as file magic
904 * zsh shell completion:
905 - <command> <verb> -<TAB> should complete options, but currently does not
906 - systemctl add-wants,add-requires
911 * look for close() vs. close_nointr() vs. close_nointr_nofail()
913 * check for strerror(r) instead of strerror(-r)
915 * Use PR_SET_PROCTITLE_AREA if it becomes available in the kernel
919 * set_put(), hashmap_put() return values check. i.e. == 0 does not free()!
921 * use secure_getenv() instead of getenv() where appropriate
923 * link up selected blog stories from man pages and unit files Documentation= fields
925 Scheduled for removal or fixing:
927 * xxxOverridable dependencies (probably: fix)
