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 * Fedora: move kernel image to /usr/lib/modules/, kernel-install will take care of populating /boot
24 * Fedora: remove /etc/resolv.conf tmpfiles hack
26 * wiki: update journal format documentation for lz4 additions
28 * When lz4 gets an API for lz4 command output, make use of it to
29 compress coredumps in a way compatible with /usr/bin/lz4.
33 * rework fsckd/fsck's connection logic or remove fsck entirely
35 * fix userns support in nspawn, or remove it entirely
37 * make unmount-on-eject work again
39 * bus-proxy: GetConnectionSELinuxSecurityContext() is completely broken
41 * timer units triggering services with failing conditions run busy:
42 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-April/030095.html
44 * figure out what to do about systemd.pc
48 * fstab-generator: default to tmpfs-as-root if only usr= is specified on the kernel cmdline
50 * check for the various fs-specific ioctls we call that we do so only
51 after verifying they are regular files or directories, and not
52 device files, so that we don't confuse drivers.
54 * docs: bring http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/MyServiceCantGetRealtime up to date
56 * systemctl should set EFI firmware flag via logind
58 * mounting and unmounting mount points manually with different source
59 devices will result in collected collected on all devices used.
60 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-April/030225.html
62 * whe should apply a stop limit (similar to the existing start limit),
63 so that we don't enter unbounded umount loops:
64 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-April/030224.html
66 * add a job mode that will fail if a transaction would mean stopping
67 running units. Use this in timedated to manage the NTP service
69 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-April/030229.html
71 * Maybe add support for the equivalent of "ethtool advertise" to .link files?
72 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-April/030112.html
74 * fstab-generator should generate systemd-fsck-root.service when
75 running in the initrd, and operate on the right device.
77 * .timer units should optionally support CLOCK_BOOTTIME in addition to CLOCK_MONOTONIC
79 * systemd-run should support a mode where we wait for the unit to be started up
81 * create a btrfs qgroup for /var/lib/machines, and add all container
82 subvolumes we create to it.
84 * nspawn: add --overlay= to support overlay file systems, similar to
87 * When logging about multiple units (stopping BoundTo units, conflicts, etc.),
88 log both units as UNIT=, so that journalctl -u triggers on both.
90 * to allow "linking" of nspawn containers, extend --network-bridge= so
91 that it can dynamically create bridge interfaces that are refcounted
92 by the containers on them. For each group of containers to link together
94 * journalctl --verify: don't show files that are currently being
95 written to as FAIL, but instead show that their are being written
98 * assign MESSAGE_ID to log messages about failed services
100 * coredump: make the handler check /proc/$PID/rlimits for RLIMIT_CORE,
101 and supress coredump if turned off. Then change RLIMIT_CORE to
102 infinity by default for all services. This then allows per-service
103 control of coredumping.
105 * generate better errors when people try to set transient properties
106 that are not supported...
107 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-February/028076.html
109 * PID 1: when invoking systemctl preset-all on first boots, operate in
110 an exclusively additive way, i.e. never remove any pre-existing
111 symlinks, only add new ones.
113 * Introduce $LISTEN_NAMES to complement $LISTEN_FDS, containing a
114 colon separated list of identifiers for the fds passed.
116 * 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.
118 * maybe introduce WantsMountsFor=? Usecase:
119 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-January/027729.html
121 * rework kexec logic to use new kexec_file_load() syscall, so that we
122 don't have to call kexec tool anymore.
124 * The udev blkid built-in should expose a property that reflects
125 whether media was sensed in USB CF/SD card readers. This should then
126 be used to control SYSTEMD_READY=1/0 so that USB card readers aren't
127 picked up by systemd unless they contain a medium. This would mirror
128 the behaviour we already have for CD drives.
130 * nspawn: emulate /dev/kmsg using CUSE and turn off the syslog syscall
131 with seccomp. That should provide us with a useful log buffer that
132 systemd can log to during early boot, and disconnect container logs
133 from the kernel's logs.
135 * networkd/udev: implement SR_IOV configuration in .link files:
136 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-January/027451.html
138 * When RLIMIT_NPROC is set from a unit file it currently always is set
139 for root, not for the user set in User=, which makes it
140 useless. After fixing this, set RLIMIT_NPROC for
141 systemd-journal-xyz, and all other of our services that run under
142 their own user ids, and use User= (but only in a world where userns
143 is ubiquitous since otherwise we cannot invoke those daemons on the
144 host AND in a container anymore). Also, if LimitNPROC= is used
145 without User= we should warn and refuse operation.
147 * logind: maybe allow configuration of the StopTimeout for session scopes
149 * Set NoNewPriviliges= on all of our own services, where that makes sense
151 * Rework systemctl's GetAll property parsing to use the generic bus_map_all_properties() API
153 * rework journald sigbus stuff to use mutex
155 * import-dkr: support tarsum checksum verification, if it becomes reality one day...
157 * import-dkr: convert json bits to nspawn configuration
159 * 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
161 * introduce systemd-nspawn-ephemeral@.service, and hook it into "machinectl start" with a new --ephemeral switch
163 * "machinectl status" should also show internal logs of the container in question
165 * "machinectl list-images" should show os-release data, as well as machine-info data (including deployment level)
167 * 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
169 * Port various tools to make use of verbs.[ch], where applicable
171 * "machinectl history"
175 * "machinectl commit" that takes a writable snapshot of a tree, invokes a shell in it, and marks it read-only after use
177 * systemd-nspawn -x should support ephemeral instances of gpt images
179 * hostnamectl: show root image uuid
181 * sysfs set api in libudev is not const
183 * Find a solution for SMACK capabilities stuff:
184 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-December/026188.html
186 * port libmount hookup to use API's own inotify interface, as soon as that is table in libmount
188 * "systemctl preset-all" should probably order the unit files it
189 operates on lexicographically before starting to work, in order to
190 ensure deterministic behaviour if two unit files conflict (like DMs
193 * resolved should optionally register additional per-interface LLMNR
194 names, so that for the container case we can establish the same name
195 (maybe "host") for referencing the server, everywhere.
197 * systemd-journal-upload (or a new, related tool): allow pushing out
198 journal messages onto the network in BSD syslog protocol,
199 continuously. Default to some link-local IP mcast group, to make this
200 useful as a one-stop debugging tool.
202 * synchronize console access with BSD locks:
203 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-October/024582.html
205 * as soon as we have kdbus, and sender timestamps, revisit coalescing multiple parallel daemon reloads:
206 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-December/025862.html
208 * the install state probably shouldn't get confused by generated units, think dbus1/kdbus compat!
210 * in systemctl list-unit-files: show the install value the presets would suggest for a service in a third column
212 * figure out when we can use the coarse timers
214 * sd-resolve: drop res_query wrapping, people should call via the bus to resolved instead
216 * add "systemctl start -v foobar.service" that shows logs of a service
217 while the start command runs. This is non-trivial to do without
218 races though, since we should flush out all journal messages before
219 returning from the "systemctl stop".
221 * 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
223 * timesyncd + resolved: add ugly bus calls to set NTP and DNS servers per-interface, for usage by NM
225 * 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
227 * machined: add an API so that libvirt-lxc can inform us about network interfaces being removed or added to an existing machine
229 * maybe add support for specifier expansion in user.conf, specifically DefaultEnvironment=
231 * code cleanup: retire FOREACH_WORD_QUOTED, port to unquote_first_word() loops instead
233 * introduce systemd-timesync-wait.service or so to sync on an NTP fix?
235 * systemd --user should issue sd_notify() upon reaching basic.target, not on becoming idle
237 * consider showing the unit names during boot up in the status output, not just the unit descriptions
239 * dhcp: do we allow configuring dhcp routes on interfaces that are not the one we got the dhcp info from?
241 * maybe allow timer units with an empty Units= setting, so that they
242 can be used for resuming the system but nothing else.
244 * what to do about udev db binary stability for apps? (raw access is not an option)
246 * maybe provide an API to allow migration of foreign PIDs into existing scopes.
248 * maybe support a new very "soft" reboot mode, that simply kills all processes, disassembles everything, flushes /run and sysvipc, and then reexecs systemd again
250 * man: document that corrupted journal files is nothing to act on
252 * man: maybe use the word "inspect" rather than "introspect"?
254 * "machinectl list" should probably show columns for OS version and IP addresses
256 * systemctl: if some operation fails, show log output?
259 - allow creation of units from scratch
260 - use equvalent of cat() to insert existing config as a comment, prepended with #.
261 Upon editor exit, lines with one # are removed, lines with two # are left with one #, etc.
263 * refcounting in sd-resolve is borked
265 * exponential backoff in timesyncd and resolved when we cannot reach a server
267 * unquote_many_words() should probably be used by a lot of code that
268 currently uses FOREACH_WORD and friends. For example, most conf
269 parsing callbacks should use it.
271 * merge ~/.local/share and ~/.local/lib into one similar /usr/lib and /usr/share....
273 * systemd.show_status= should probably have a mode where only failed
276 * add systemd.abort_on_kill or some other such flag to send SIGABRT instead of SIGKILL
277 (throughout the codebase, not only PID1)
280 - add LLDP client side support
281 - the DHCP lease data (such as NTP/DNS) is still made available when
282 a carrier is lost on a link. It should be removed instantly.
283 - .network setting that allows overriding of the hostname to send to the dhcp server
284 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-July/021550.html
285 - expose in the API the following bits:
286 - option 15, domain name and/or option 119, search list
287 - option 12, host name and/or option 81, fqdn
288 - option 100, 101, timezone
289 - option 123, 144, geolocation
290 - option 252, configure http proxy (PAC/wpad)
291 - networkd's dhcp server should transparently pass on the DNS and
292 NTP server list it got from user configuration and its dhcp client
293 to clients. It should also pass on its own timezone information.
294 - provide a way to define a per-network interface default metric value
295 for all routes to it. possibly a second default for DHCP routes.
296 - allow Name= to be specified repeatedly in the [Match] section. Maybe also
297 support Name=foo*|bar*|baz ?
298 - duplicate address check for static IPs (like ARPCHECK in network-scripts)
301 - put networkd events and rtnl events at a higher priority, so that
302 we always process them before we process client requests
304 - use base64 for key presentation?
305 - add display of private key types (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4034#appendix-A.1.1)?
306 - add nice formatting of DNS timestamps
311 - DNS-SD service registration from socket units
315 - maybe randomize DNS UDP source ports
316 - maybe compare query section of DNS replies
318 * Allow multiple ExecStart= for all Type= settings, so that we can cover rescue.service nicely
320 * Add a new verb "systemctl top"
322 * add new gpt type for btrfs volumes
324 * support empty /etc boots nicely:
325 - nspawn/gpt-generator: introduce new gpt partition type for /usr
326 - fstab-generator: support systemd.volatile=yes|no|state on the kernel cmdline, too, similar to nspawn's --volatile=
328 * generator that automatically discovers btrfs subvolumes, identifies their purpose based on some xattr on them.
330 * timer units: actually add extra delays to timer units with high AccuracySec values, don't start them already when we are awake...
332 * a way for container managers to turn off getty starting via $container_headless= or so...
334 * figure out a nice way how we can let the admin know what child/sibling unit causes cgroup membership for a specific unit
336 * mount_cgroup_controllers(): symlinks need to get the label applied
338 * For timer units: add some mechanisms so that timer units that trigger immediately on boot do not have the services
339 they run added to the initial transaction and thus confuse Type=idle.
341 * 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)
343 * sd-event: generate a failure of a default event loop is executed out-of-thread
345 * add bus api to query unit file's X fields.
347 * consider adding RuntimeDirectoryUser= + RuntimeDirectoryGroup=
349 * sd-event: define more intervals where we will shift wakeup intervals around in, 1h, 6h, 24h, ...
351 * gpt-auto-generator:
352 - Support LUKS for root devices
353 - Define new partition type for encrypted swap? Support probed LUKS for encrypted swap?
354 - Make /home automount rather than mount?
356 * add generator that pulls in systemd-network from containers when
357 CAP_NET_ADMIN is set, more than the loopback device is defined, even
358 when it is otherwise off
360 * MessageQueueMessageSize= and RLimitFSIZE= (and suchlike) should use parse_iec_size().
362 * "busctl status" works only as root on dbus1, since we cannot read
365 * implement Distribute= in socket units to allow running multiple
366 service instances processing the listening socket, and open this up
369 * socket units: support creating sockets in different namespace,
370 opening it up for JoinsNamespaceOf=. This would require to fork off
371 a tiny process that joins the namespace and creates/binds the socket
372 and passes this back to PID1 via SCM_RIGHTS. This also could be used
373 to allow Chown/chgrp on sockets without requiring NSS in PID 1.
375 * New service property: maximum CPU and wallclock runtime for a service
377 * introduce bus call FreezeUnit(s, b), as well as "systemctl freeze
378 $UNIT" and "systemctl thaw $UNIT" as wrappers around this. The calls
379 should SIGSTOP all unit processes in a loop until all processes of
380 it are fully stopped. This can later be used for app management by
381 desktop UIs such as gnome-shell to freeze apps that are not visible
382 on screen, not unlike how job control works on the shell
385 - implement per-slice CPUFairScheduling=1 switch
386 - handle jointly mounted controllers correctly
387 - introduce high-level settings for RT budget, swappiness
388 - how to reset dynamically changed unit cgroup attributes sanely?
389 - when reloading configuration, apply new cgroup configuration
390 - when recursively showing the cgroup hierarchy, optionally also show
391 the hierarchies of child processes
394 - add field to transient units that indicate whether systemd or somebody else saves/restores its settings, for integration with libvirt
395 - ensure scope units may be started only a single time
397 * Automatically configure swap partition to use for hibernation by looking for largest swap partition on the root disk?
399 * when we detect low battery and no AC on boot, show pretty splash and refuse boot
401 * machined, localed: when we try to kill an empty cgroup, generate an ESRCH error over the bus
403 * libsystemd-journal, libsystemd-login, libudev: add calls to easily attach these objects to sd-event event loops
405 * be more careful what we export on the bus as (usec_t) 0 and (usec_t) -1
407 * unify dispatch table in systemctl_main() and friends
409 * 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
411 * After coming back from hibernation reset hibernation swap partition using the /dev/snapshot ioctl APIs
413 * If we try to find a unit via a dangling symlink, generate a clean
414 error. Currently, we just ignore it and read the unit from the search
417 * refuse boot if /etc/os-release is missing or /etc/machine-id cannot be set up
419 * btrfs raid assembly: some .device jobs stay stuck in the queue
421 * make sure gdm does not use multi-user-x but the new default X configuration file, and then remove multi-user-x from systemd
423 * man: the documentation of Restart= currently is very misleading and suggests the tools from ExecStartPre= might get restarted.
425 * load .d/*.conf dropins for device units
427 * allow implementation of InaccessibleDirectories=/ plus
428 ReadOnlyDirectories=... for whitelisting files for a service.
431 - GetAllProperties() on a non-existing object does not result in a failure currently
432 - kdbus: process fd=-1 for incoming msgs
433 - port to sd-resolve for connecting to TCP dbus servers
434 - kdbus: maybe add controlling tty metadata fields
435 - 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
436 - when kdbus does not take our message without memfds, try again with memfds
437 - see if we can drop more message validation on the sending side
438 - add API to clone sd_bus_message objects
439 - make AddMatch calls on dbus1 transports async?
440 - kdbus: matches against source or destination pids for an "strace -p"-like feel. Problem: The PID info needs to be available in userspace too...
441 - longer term: priority inheritance
444 - NameLost/NameAcquired obsolete
447 - update systemd.special(7) to mention that dbus.socket is only about the compatibility socket now
448 - test bloom filter generation indexes
449 - bus-proxy: when passing messages from kdbus, make sure we properly
450 handle the case where a large number of fds is appended that we
451 cannot pass into sendmsg() of the AF_UNIX sokcet (which only accepts
453 - kdbus: introduce a concept of "send-only" connections
454 - 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.
457 - allow multiple signal handlers per signal?
458 - document chaining of signal handler for SIGCHLD and child handlers
460 * in the final killing spree, detect processes from the root directory, and
461 complain loudly if they have argv[0][0] == '@' set.
462 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=961044
464 * investigate endianness issues of UUID vs. GUID
466 * dbus: when a unit failed to load (i.e. is in UNIT_ERROR state), we
467 should be able to safely try another attempt when the bus call LoadUnit() is invoked.
469 * add a pam module that passes the hdd passphrase into the PAM stack and then expires it, for usage by gdm auto-login.
471 * add a pam module that on password changes updates any LUKS slot where the password matches
473 * maybe add a generator that looks for "systemd.run=" on the kernel cmdline for container usercases...
475 * cgtop: make cgtop useful in a container
478 - add 'set -e' to scripts in test/
479 - make stuff in test/ work with separate output dir
481 * seems that when we follow symlinks to units we prefer the symlink
482 destination path over /etc and /usr. We should not do that. Instead
483 /etc should always override /run+/usr and also any symlink
486 * when isolating, try to figure out a way how we implicitly can order
487 all units we stop before the isolating unit...
489 * teach ConditionKernelCommandLine= globs or regexes (in order to match foobar={no,0,off})
491 * BootLoaderSpec: Clarify that the kernel has to be in $BOOT. Clarify
492 that the boot loader should be installed to the ESP. Define a way
493 how an installer can figure out whether a BLS compliant boot loader
496 * think about requeuing jobs when daemon-reload is issued? usecase:
497 the initrd issues a reload after fstab from the host is accessible
498 and we might want to requeue the mounts local-fs acquired through
501 * systemd-inhibit: make taking delay locks useful: support sending SIGINT or SIGTERM on PrepareForSleep()
503 * journal-or-kmsg is currently broken? See reverted commit 4a01181e460686d8b4a543b1dfa7f77c9e3c5ab8.
505 * remove any syslog support from log.c -- we probably cannot do this before split-off udev is gone for good
507 * shutdown logging: store to EFI var, and store to USB stick?
509 * write UI tool that pops up emergency messages from the journal as notification
511 * think about window-manager-run-as-user-service problem: exit 0 → activate shutdown.target; exit != 0 → restart service
513 * merge unit_kill_common() and unit_kill_context()
515 * introduce ExecCondition= in services
518 - honor language efi variables for default language selection (if there are any?)
519 - honor timezone efi variables for default timezone selection (if there are any?)
520 - change bootctl to be backed by systemd-bootd to control temporary and persistent default boot goal plus efi variables
522 * maybe do not install getty@tty1.service symlink in /etc but in /usr?
524 * re-enable "make check" for gtk-doc (broken for unknown reason)
526 * fstab: add new mount option x-systemd-after=/foobar/waldo to allow manual dependencies to other mount points
527 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=812826
529 * print a nicer explanation if people use variable/specifier expansion in ExecStart= for the first word
531 * mount: turn dependency information from /proc/self/mountinfo into dependency information between systemd units.
534 - logind: optionally, ignore idle-hint logic for autosuspend, block suspend as long as a session is around
535 - When we update the kernel all kind of hibernation should be prohibited until shutdown/reboot
536 - logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
537 - Add pretty name for seats in logind
538 - logind: allow showing logout dialog from system?
539 - we should probably handle SIGTERM/SIGINT to not leave dot files around, just in case
540 - session scopes/user unit: add RequiresMountsFor for the home directory of the user
541 - add Suspend() bus calls which take timestamps to fix double suspend issues when somebody hits suspend and closes laptop quickly.
542 - if pam_systemd is invoked by su from a process that is outside of a
543 any session we should probably just become a NOP, since that's
544 usually not a real user session but just some system code that just
546 - logind: make the Suspend()/Hibernate() bus calls wait for the for
547 the job to be completed. before returning, so that clients can wait
548 for "systemctl suspend" to finish to know when the suspending is
550 - logind: when the power button is pressed short, just popup a
551 logout dialog. If it is pressed for 1s, do the usual
552 shutdown. Inspiration are Macs here.
553 - expose "Locked" property on logind sesison objects
554 - given that logind now lets PID 1 do all nasty work, we can
555 probably reduce the capability set it retains substantially.
556 (we need CAP_SYS_ADMIN for drmSetMaster(), so maybe not worth it)
557 - expose orientation sensors and tablet mode through logind
559 * exec: when deinitializating a tty device fix the perms and group, too, not only when initializing. Set access mode/gid to 0620/tty.
561 * service: watchdog logic: for testing purposes allow ping, but do not require pong
564 - consider introducing implicit _TTY= + _PPID= + _EUID= + _EGID= + _FSUID= + _FSGID= fields
565 - import and delete pstore filesystem content at startup
566 - journald: also get thread ID from client, plus thread name
567 - journal: when waiting for journal additions in the client always sleep at least 1s or so, in order to minimize wakeups
568 - add API to close/reopen/get fd for journal client fd in libsystemd-journal.
569 - fallback to /dev/log based logging in libsystemd-journal, if we cannot log natively?
570 - declare the local journal protocol stable in the wiki interface chart
571 - journal: reuse XZ context
572 - sd-journal: speed up sd_journal_get_data() with transparent hash table in bg
573 - journald: when dropping msgs due to ratelimit make sure to write
574 "dropped %u messages" not only when we are about to print the next
575 message that works, but alraedy after a short tiemout
576 - check if we can make journalctl by default use --follow mode inside of less if called without args?
577 - maybe add API to send pairs of iovecs via sd_journal_send
578 - journal: when writing journal auto-rotate if time jumps backwards
579 - journal: add a setgid "systemd-journal" utility to invoke from libsystemd-journal, which passes fds via STDOUT and does PK access
580 - journactl: support negative filtering, i.e. FOOBAR!="waldo",
581 and !FOOBAR for events without FOOBAR.
582 - journal: store timestamp of journal_file_set_offline() int he header,
583 so it is possible to display when the file was last synced.
584 - 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.
585 - journal: find a way to allow dropping history early, based on priority, other rules
586 - journal: When used on NFS, check payload hashes
587 - journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
588 - refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
589 - journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
590 - journal: deal nicely with byte-by-byte copied files, especially regards header
591 - journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the components would fit
592 - Replace utmp, wtmp, btmp, and lastlog completely with journal
593 - journalctl: instead --after-cursor= maybe have a --cursor=XYZ+1 syntax?
594 - when a kernel driver logs in a tight loop, we should ratelimit that too.
595 - journald: optionally, log debug messages to /run but everything else to /var
596 - journald: when we drop syslog messages because the syslog socket is
597 full, make sure to write how many messages are lost as first thing
598 to syslog when it works again.
599 - journald: make sure ratelimit is actually really per-service with the new cgroup changes
600 - change systemd-journal-flush into a service that stays around during
601 boot, and causes the journal to be moved back to /run on shutdown,
602 so that we do not keep /var busy. This needs to happen synchronously,
603 hence doing this via signals is not going to work.
604 - optionally support running journald from the command line for testing purposes in external projects
605 - journald: allow per-priority and per-service retention times when rotating/vacuuming
606 - journald: make use of uid-range.h to managed uid ranges to split
608 - journalctl: add the ability to look for the most recent process of a binary. journalctl /usr/bin/X11 --pid=-1 or so...
609 - improve journalctl performance by loading journal files
610 lazily. Encode just enough information in the file name, so that we
611 do not have to open it to know that it is not interesting for us, for
612 the most common operations.
615 - document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fields in
616 [Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
617 - man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
618 - document the exit codes when services fail before they are exec()ed
619 - document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
620 - document in wiki how to map ical recurrence events to systemd timer unit calendar specifications
621 - add a man page containing packaging guidelines and recommending usage of things like Documentation=, PrivateTmp=, PrivateNetwork= and ReadOnlyDirectories=/etc /usr.
622 - document systemd-journal-flush.service properly
623 - documentation: recommend to connect the timer units of a service to the service via Also= in [Install]
624 - man: document the very specific env the shutdown drop-in tools live in
625 - man: extend runlevel(8) to mention that runlevels suck, and are dead. Maybe add runlevel(7) with a note about that too
626 - man: add more examples to man pages
627 - man: maybe sort directives in man pages, and take sections from --help and apply them to man too
630 - systemctl list-jobs - show dependencies
631 - add systemctl switch to dump transaction without executing it
632 - Add a verbose mode to "systemctl start" and friends that explains what is being done or not done
633 - "systemctl disable" on a static unit prints no message and does
634 nothing. "systemctl enable" does nothing, and gives a bad message
635 about it. Should fix both to print nice actionable messages.
636 - print nice message from systemctl --failed if there are no entries shown, and hook that into ExecStartPre of rescue.service/emergency.service
637 - add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
638 - systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into does not exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
639 - systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
640 - support "systemctl stop foobar@.service" to stop all units matching a certain template
641 - Something is wrong with symlink handling of "autovt@.service" in "systemctl list-unit-files"
642 - better error message if you run systemctl without systemd running
643 - systemctl status output should should include list of triggering units and their status
646 - "systemctl mask" should find all names by which a unit is accessible
647 (i.e. by scanning for symlinks to it) and link them all to /dev/null
648 - systemctl list-unit-files should list generated files (and probably with a new state "generated" for them, or so)
651 - timer units should get the ability to trigger when:
652 o CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (TFD_TIMER_CANCEL_ON_SET)
654 - Support 2012-02~4 as syntax for specifying the fourth to last day of the month.
655 - calendarspec: support value ranges with ".." notation. Example: 2013-4..8-1
656 - 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
657 - Modulate timer frequency based on battery state
659 * add libsystemd-password or so to query passwords during boot using the password agent logic
661 * 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().
663 * fedup: add --unit to systemctl switch-root somehow
664 * fedup: do not delete initrd on switch-root
667 * clean up date formatting and parsing so that all absolute/relative timestamps we format can also be parsed
669 * on shutdown: move utmp, wall, audit logic all into PID 1 (or logind?), get rid of systemd-update-utmp-runlevel
671 * make repeated alt-ctrl-del presses printing a dump, or even force a reboot without
672 waiting for the timeout
674 * hostnamed: before returning information from /etc/machine-info.conf check the modification data and reread. Similar for localed, ...
676 * currently x-systemd.timeout is lost in the initrd, since crypttab is copied into dracut, but fstab is not
679 - refuses to boot containers without /etc/machine-id (OK?), and with empty /etc/machine-id (not OK).
682 - cryptsetup-generator: allow specification of passwords in crypttab itself
683 - move cryptsetup key caching into kernel keyctl?
684 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54982
685 - support rd.luks.allow-discards= kernel cmdline params in cryptsetup generator
687 * hw watchdog: optionally try to use the preset watchdog timeout instead of always overriding it
688 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54712
690 * after deserializing sockets in socket.c we should reapply sockopts and things
692 * make timer units go away after they elapsed
694 * move PID 1 segfaults to /var/lib/systemd/coredump?
696 * create /sbin/init symlinks from the build system
698 * allow writing multiple conditions in unit files on one line
700 * MountFlags=shared acts as MountFlags=slave right now.
702 * drop PID 1 reloading, only do reexecing (difficult: Reload()
703 currently is properly synchronous, Reexec() is weird, because we
704 cannot delay the response properly until we are back, so instead of
705 being properly synchronous we just keep open the fd and close it
706 when done. That means clients do not get a successful method reply,
707 but much rather a disconnect on success.
709 * properly handle loop back mounts via fstab, especially regards to fsck/passno
711 * initialize the hostname from the fs label of /, if /etc/hostname does not exist?
713 * rename "userspace" to "core-os"
715 * load-fragment: when loading a unit file via a chain of symlinks
716 verify that it is not masked via any of the names traversed.
718 * introduce Type=pid-file
720 * change Requires=basic.target to RequisiteOverride=basic.target
722 * when breaking cycles drop sysv services first, then services from /run, then from /etc, then from /usr
724 * automount: implement expire:
725 - set superblock timeout AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_TIMEOUT_CMD
726 - periodically run AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_EXPIRE_CMD
727 - every timeout/4 (original autofs logic)
728 - blocking, needs a thread
730 - receive expire packet on pipe if kernel tells the timeout is over
732 - answer expire packet on pipe with AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_{READY,FAIL}_CMD
733 - AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_EXPIRE_CMD returns
735 * ExecOnFailure=/usr/bin/foo
740 - add trigger --subsystem-match=usb/usb_device device
741 - reimport udev db after MOVE events for devices without dev_t
743 * 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
745 * introduce mix of BindTo and Requisite
747 * There's currently no way to cancel fsck (used to be possible via C-c or c on the console)
749 * add option to sockets to avoid activation. Instead just drop packets/connections, see http://cyberelk.net/tim/2012/02/15/portreserve-systemd-solution/
751 * default unix qlen is too small (10). bump sysctl? add sockopt?
753 * save coredump in Windows/Mozilla minidump format
755 * support crash reporting operation modes (https://live.gnome.org/GnomeOS/Design/Whiteboards/ProblemReporting)
757 * default to actual 32-bit PIDs, via /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max
759 * be able to specify a forced restart of service A where service B depends on, in case B
760 needs to be auto-respawned?
762 * when a bus name of a service disappears from the bus make sure to queue further activation requests
765 - apply "x" on "D" too (see patch from William Douglas)
767 - instead of ignoring unknown fields, reject them.
769 * for services: do not set $HOME in services unless requested
771 * hide PAM options in fragment parser when compile time disabled
773 * when we automatically restart a service, ensure we restart its rdeps, too.
775 * allow Type=simple with PIDFile=
776 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=723942
778 * move PAM code into its own binary
780 * implement Register= switch in .socket units to enable registration
781 in Avahi, RPC and other socket registration services.
783 * make sure systemd-ask-password-wall does not shutdown systemd-ask-password-console too early
785 * add ReloadSignal= for configuring a reload signal to use
787 * verify that the AF_UNIX sockets of a service in the fs still exist
788 when we start a service in order to avoid confusion when a user
789 assumes starting a service is enough to make it accessible
791 * Make it possible to set the keymap independently from the font on
792 the kernel cmdline. Right now setting one resets also the other.
794 * and a dbus call to generate target from current state
796 * GC unreferenced jobs (such as .device jobs)
798 * write blog stories about:
799 - hwdb: what belongs into it, lsusb
800 - enabling dbus services
802 - how to make changes to sysctl and sysfs attributes

815 - instantiated apache, dovecot and so on
816 - hooking a script into various stages of shutdown/rearly booot
818 * allow port=0 in .socket units
820 * recreate systemd's D-Bus private socket file on SIGUSR2
822 * Support --test based on current system state
824 * investigate whether the gnome pty helper should be moved into systemd, to provide cgroup support.
826 * maybe introduce ExecRestartPre=
828 * dot output for --test showing the 'initial transaction'
830 * fingerprint.target, wireless.target, gps.target, netdevice.target
833 - figure out a simple way to wait for journal events in a way that
835 - add documentation to systemd.daemon
838 - plot per-process IO utilization
839 - group processes based on service association (cgroups)
840 - document initcall_debug
841 - kernel cmdline "bootchart" option for simplicity?
844 - Make sure ID_PATH is always exported and complete for
845 network devices where possible, so we can safely rely
847 - check MTUBytes parsing (expecting size_t but we are using unsigned)
850 - add support for more attribute types
851 - inbuilt piping support (essentially degenerate async)? see loopback-setup.c and other places
854 - add more keys to [Route] and [Address] sections
855 - add support for more DHCPv4 options (and, longer term, other kinds of dynamic config)
856 - add proper initrd support (in particular generate .network/.link files based on /proc/cmdline)
857 - add reduced [Link] support to .network files
858 - add Scope= parsing option for [Network]
859 - properly handle routerless dhcp leases
860 - add more attribute support for SIT tunnel
861 - work with non-ethernet devices
862 - add support for more bond options
864 * networkd-wait-online:
865 - make operstates to wait for configurable?
868 - figure out how much we can increase Maximum Message Size
869 - export timezone information
870 - support RFC4702 (pass FQDN)
873 - add functions to set previously stored IPv6 addresses on startup and get
874 them at shutdown; store them in client->ia_na
875 - write more test cases
876 - implement reconfigure support, see 5.3., 15.11. and 22.20.
877 - implement support for temporary adressess (IA_TA)
878 - implement dhcpv6 authentication
879 - investigate the usefulness of Confirm messages; i.e. are there any
880 situations where the link changes without any loss in carrier detection
882 - some servers don't do rapid commit without a filled in IA_NA, verify
888 - natively watch for dbus-*.service symlinks (PENDING)
889 - teach dbus to activate all services it finds in /etc/systemd/services/org-*.service
891 * fix alsa mixer restore to not print error when no config is stored
893 * make cryptsetup lower --iter-time
895 * patch kernel for xattr support in /dev, /proc/, /sys?
897 * kernel: add device_type = "fb", "fbcon" to class "graphics"
899 * drop accountsservice's StandardOutput=syslog and Type=dbus fields
901 * dbus upstream still refers to dbus.target and should not
903 * dbus: in fedora, make /var/lib/dbus/machine-id a symlink to /etc/machine-id
905 * add "# export SYSTEMD_PAGER=" to bash login
907 * /usr/bin/service should actually show the new command line
909 * 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=
911 * fedora: F20: go timer units all the way, leave cron.daily for cron
913 * neither pkexec nor sudo initialize environ[] from the PAM environment?
915 * fedora: update policy to declare access mode and ownership of unit files to root:root 0644, and add an rpmlint check for it
917 * register catalog database signature as file magic
919 * zsh shell completion:
920 - <command> <verb> -<TAB> should complete options, but currently does not
921 - systemctl add-wants,add-requires
926 * look for close() vs. close_nointr() vs. close_nointr_nofail()
928 * check for strerror(r) instead of strerror(-r)
930 * Use PR_SET_PROCTITLE_AREA if it becomes available in the kernel
934 * set_put(), hashmap_put() return values check. i.e. == 0 does not free()!
936 * use secure_getenv() instead of getenv() where appropriate
938 * link up selected blog stories from man pages and unit files Documentation= fields
940 Scheduled for removal or fixing:
942 * xxxOverridable dependencies (probably: fix)
