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
24 * When lz4 gets an API for lz4 command output, make use of it to
25 compress coredumps in a way compatible with /usr/bin/lz4.
29 * code cleanup: retire FOREACH_WORD_QUOTED, port to extract_first_word() loops instead
31 * replace manual readdir() loops with FOREACH_DIRENT or FOREACH_DIRENT_ALL
33 * Get rid of the last strerror() invocations in favour of %m and strerror_r()
35 * Rearrange tests so that the various test-xyz.c match a specific src/basic/xyz.c again
39 * do something about "/control" subcgroups in the unified cgroup hierarchy
41 * when we detect that there are waiting jobs but no running jobs, do something
43 * push CPUAffinity also into the "cpuset" cgroup controller
45 * add a concept of RemainAfterExit= to scope units
47 * add a new command "systemctl revert" or so, that removes all dropin
48 snippets in /run and /etc, and all unit files with counterparts in
49 /usr, and thus undoes what "systemctl set-property" and "systemctl
50 edit" create. Maybe even add "systemctl revert -a" to do this for
53 * sd-event: maybe add support for inotify events
55 * PID 1 should send out sd_notify("WATCHDOG=1") messages (for usage in the --user mode, and when run via nspawn)
57 * nspawn should send out sd_notify("WATCHDOG=1") messages
59 * nspawn should optionally support receiving WATCHDOG=1 messages from its payload PID 1...
61 * consider throwing a warning if a service declares it wants to be "Before=" a .device unit.
63 * "systemctl edit" should know a mode to create a new unit file
65 * there's probably something wrong with having user mounts below /sys,
66 as we have for debugfs. for exmaple, src/core/mount.c handles mounts
67 prefixed with /sys generally special.
68 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-June/032962.html
70 * Add PassEnvironment= setting to service units, to import select env vars from PID 1 into the service env block
72 * nspawn: fix logic always print a final newline on output.
73 https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/272#issuecomment-113153176
75 * make nspawn's --network-veth switch more powerful:
76 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-June/033121.html
78 * man: document that unless you use StandardError=null the shell >/dev/stderr won't work in shell scripts in services
80 * man: clarify that "machinectl show" shows different information than "machinectl status" (no cgroup tree, no IP addresses, ...)
82 * "systemctl daemon-reload" should result in /etc/systemd/system.conf being reloaded by systemd
84 * install: include generator dirs in unit file search paths
86 * logind: follow PropertiesChanged state more closely, to deal with quick logouts and relogins
88 * invent a better systemd-run scheme for naming scopes, that works with remoting
90 * add journalctl -H that talks via ssh to a remote peer and passes through binary logs data
92 * change journalctl -M to acquire fd to journal directory via machined, and then operate on that via openat() instead of absolute paths
94 * add a version of --merge which also merges /var/log/journal/remote
96 * log accumulated resource usage after each service invocation
98 * nspawn: a nice way to boot up without machine id set, so that it is set at boot automatically for supporting --ephemeral. Maybe hash the host machine id together with the machine name to generate the machine id for the container
100 * logind: rename session scope so that it includes the UID. THat way
101 the session scope can be arranged freely in slices and we don't have
102 make assumptions about their slice anymore.
104 * journalctl: -m should access container journals directly by enumerating them via machined, and also watch containers coming and going. Benefit: nspawn --ephemeral would start working nicely with the journal.
106 * nspawn: don't copy /etc/resolv.conf from host into container unless we are in shared-network mode
108 * nspawn: optionally automatically add FORWARD rules to iptables whenever nspawn is running, remove them when shut down.
110 * importd: generate a nice warning if mkfs.btrfs is missing
112 * nspawn: add a logic for cleaning up read-only, hidden container images in /var/lib/machines that are not ancestors of any non-hidden containers
114 * nspawn: Improve error message when --bind= is used on a non-existing source directory
116 * nspawn: maybe make copying of /etc/resolv.conf optional, and skip it if --read-only is used
118 * man: document how update dkr images works with machinectl
119 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-February/028630.html
121 * nspawn: as soon as networkd has a bus interface, hook up --network-interface=, --network-bridge= with networkd, to trigger netdev creation should an interface be missing
123 * rework C11 utf8.[ch] to use char32_t instead of uint32_t when referring
124 to unicode chars, to make things more expressive.
126 * "machinectl migrate" or similar to copy a container from or to a
127 difference host, via ssh
129 * tmpfiles: creating new directories/subvolumes/fifos/device nodes
130 should not follow symlinks. None of the other adjustment or creation
131 calls follow symlinks.
133 * fstab-generator: default to tmpfs-as-root if only usr= is specified on the kernel cmdline
135 * docs: bring http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/MyServiceCantGetRealtime up to date
137 * mounting and unmounting mount points manually with different source
138 devices will result in collected collected on all devices used.
139 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-April/030225.html
141 * add a job mode that will fail if a transaction would mean stopping
142 running units. Use this in timedated to manage the NTP service
144 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-April/030229.html
146 * Maybe add support for the equivalent of "ethtool advertise" to .link files?
147 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-April/030112.html
149 * .timer units should optionally support CLOCK_BOOTTIME in addition to CLOCK_MONOTONIC
151 * When logging about multiple units (stopping BoundTo units, conflicts, etc.),
152 log both units as UNIT=, so that journalctl -u triggers on both.
154 * to allow "linking" of nspawn containers, extend --network-bridge= so
155 that it can dynamically create bridge interfaces that are refcounted
156 by the containers on them. For each group of containers to link together
158 * journalctl --verify: don't show files that are currently being
159 written to as FAIL, but instead show that their are being written
162 * assign MESSAGE_ID to log messages about failed services
164 * coredump: make the handler check /proc/$PID/rlimits for RLIMIT_CORE,
165 and supress coredump if turned off. Then change RLIMIT_CORE to
166 infinity by default for all services. This then allows per-service
167 control of coredumping.
169 * generate better errors when people try to set transient properties
170 that are not supported...
171 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-February/028076.html
173 * maybe introduce WantsMountsFor=? Usecase:
174 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-January/027729.html
176 * The udev blkid built-in should expose a property that reflects
177 whether media was sensed in USB CF/SD card readers. This should then
178 be used to control SYSTEMD_READY=1/0 so that USB card readers aren't
179 picked up by systemd unless they contain a medium. This would mirror
180 the behaviour we already have for CD drives.
182 * nspawn: emulate /dev/kmsg using CUSE and turn off the syslog syscall
183 with seccomp. That should provide us with a useful log buffer that
184 systemd can log to during early boot, and disconnect container logs
185 from the kernel's logs.
187 * networkd/udev: implement SR_IOV configuration in .link files:
188 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-January/027451.html
190 * Set RLIMIT_NPROC for systemd-journal-xyz, and all other of our
191 services that run under their own user ids, and use User= (but only
192 in a world where userns is ubiquitous since otherwise we cannot
193 invoke those daemons on the host AND in a container anymore). Also,
194 if LimitNPROC= is used without User= we should warn and refuse
197 * logind: maybe allow configuration of the StopTimeout for session scopes
199 * Set NoNewPrivileges= on all of our own services, where that makes sense
201 * Rework systemctl's GetAll property parsing to use the generic bus_map_all_properties() API
203 * rework journald sigbus stuff to use mutex
205 * import-dkr: support tarsum checksum verification, if it becomes reality one day...
207 * import-dkr: convert json bits to nspawn configuration
209 * 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
211 * introduce systemd-nspawn-ephemeral@.service, and hook it into "machinectl start" with a new --ephemeral switch
213 * "machinectl status" should also show internal logs of the container in question
215 * "machinectl list-images" should show os-release data, as well as machine-info data (including deployment level)
217 * Port various tools to make use of verbs.[ch], where applicable
219 * "machinectl history"
223 * "machinectl commit" that takes a writable snapshot of a tree, invokes a shell in it, and marks it read-only after use
225 * systemd-nspawn -x should support ephemeral instances of gpt images
227 * hostnamectl: show root image uuid
229 * sysfs set api in libudev is not const
231 * Find a solution for SMACK capabilities stuff:
232 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-December/026188.html
234 * port libmount hookup to use API's own inotify interface, as soon as that is table in libmount
236 * "systemctl preset-all" should probably order the unit files it
237 operates on lexicographically before starting to work, in order to
238 ensure deterministic behaviour if two unit files conflict (like DMs
241 * resolved should optionally register additional per-interface LLMNR
242 names, so that for the container case we can establish the same name
243 (maybe "host") for referencing the server, everywhere.
245 * systemd-journal-upload (or a new, related tool): allow pushing out
246 journal messages onto the network in BSD syslog protocol,
247 continuously. Default to some link-local IP mcast group, to make this
248 useful as a one-stop debugging tool.
250 * synchronize console access with BSD locks:
251 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-October/024582.html
253 * as soon as we have kdbus, and sender timestamps, revisit coalescing multiple parallel daemon reloads:
254 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-December/025862.html
256 * the install state probably shouldn't get confused by generated units, think dbus1/kdbus compat!
258 * in systemctl list-unit-files: show the install value the presets would suggest for a service in a third column
260 * figure out when we can use the coarse timers
262 * add "systemctl start -v foobar.service" that shows logs of a service
263 while the start command runs. This is non-trivial to do without
264 races though, since we should flush out all journal messages before
265 returning from the "systemctl stop".
267 * 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
269 * timesyncd + resolved: add ugly bus calls to set NTP and DNS servers per-interface, for usage by NM
271 * 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
273 * machined: add an API so that libvirt-lxc can inform us about network interfaces being removed or added to an existing machine
275 * maybe add support for specifier expansion in user.conf, specifically DefaultEnvironment=
277 * introduce systemd-timesync-wait.service or so to sync on an NTP fix?
279 * systemd --user should issue sd_notify() upon reaching basic.target, not on becoming idle
281 * consider showing the unit names during boot up in the status output, not just the unit descriptions
283 * dhcp: do we allow configuring dhcp routes on interfaces that are not the one we got the dhcp info from?
285 * maybe allow timer units with an empty Units= setting, so that they
286 can be used for resuming the system but nothing else.
288 * what to do about udev db binary stability for apps? (raw access is not an option)
290 * maybe provide an API to allow migration of foreign PIDs into existing scopes.
292 * maybe support a new very "soft" reboot mode, that simply kills all processes, disassembles everything, flushes /run and sysvipc, and then reexecs systemd again
294 * man: document that corrupted journal files is nothing to act on
296 * man: maybe use the word "inspect" rather than "introspect"?
298 * "machinectl list" should probably show columns for OS version and IP addresses
300 * systemctl: if some operation fails, show log output?
303 - allow creation of units from scratch
304 - use equvalent of cat() to insert existing config as a comment, prepended with #.
305 Upon editor exit, lines with one # are removed, lines with two # are left with one #, etc.
307 * refcounting in sd-resolve is borked
309 * exponential backoff in timesyncd and resolved when we cannot reach a server
311 * extract_many_words() should probably be used by a lot of code that
312 currently uses FOREACH_WORD and friends. For example, most conf
313 parsing callbacks should use it.
315 * merge ~/.local/share and ~/.local/lib into one similar /usr/lib and /usr/share....
317 * systemd.show_status= should probably have a mode where only failed
320 * add systemd.abort_on_kill or some other such flag to send SIGABRT instead of SIGKILL
321 (throughout the codebase, not only PID1)
324 - add LLDP client side support
325 - the DHCP lease data (such as NTP/DNS) is still made available when
326 a carrier is lost on a link. It should be removed instantly.
327 - expose in the API the following bits:
328 - option 15, domain name and/or option 119, search list
329 - option 12, host name and/or option 81, fqdn
330 - option 123, 144, geolocation
331 - option 252, configure http proxy (PAC/wpad)
332 - provide a way to define a per-network interface default metric value
333 for all routes to it. possibly a second default for DHCP routes.
334 - allow Name= to be specified repeatedly in the [Match] section. Maybe also
335 support Name=foo*|bar*|baz ?
336 - duplicate address check for static IPs (like ARPCHECK in network-scripts)
337 - allow DUID/IAID to be customized, see issue #394.
338 - support configuration option for TSO (tcp segmentation offload)
339 - networkd: whenever uplink info changes, make DHCP server send out FORCERENEW
342 - put networkd events and rtnl events at a higher priority, so that
343 we always process them before we process client requests
345 - add display of private key types (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4034#appendix-A.1.1)?
350 - DNS-SD service registration from socket units
352 - dname: Not necessary for plain DNS as synthesized cname is handed out instead if we do not
353 announce dname support. However, for DNSSEC it is necessary as the synthesized cname
357 * Allow multiple ExecStart= for all Type= settings, so that we can cover rescue.service nicely
359 * Add a new verb "systemctl top"
361 * add new gpt type for btrfs volumes
363 * support empty /etc boots nicely:
364 - nspawn/gpt-generator: introduce new gpt partition type for /usr
365 - fstab-generator: support systemd.volatile=yes|no|state on the kernel cmdline, too, similar to nspawn's --volatile=
367 * generator that automatically discovers btrfs subvolumes, identifies their purpose based on some xattr on them.
369 * timer units: actually add extra delays to timer units with high AccuracySec values, don't start them already when we are awake...
371 * a way for container managers to turn off getty starting via $container_headless= or so...
373 * figure out a nice way how we can let the admin know what child/sibling unit causes cgroup membership for a specific unit
375 * mount_cgroup_controllers(): symlinks need to get the label applied
377 * For timer units: add some mechanisms so that timer units that trigger immediately on boot do not have the services
378 they run added to the initial transaction and thus confuse Type=idle.
380 * 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)
382 * sd-event: generate a failure of a default event loop is executed out-of-thread
384 * add bus api to query unit file's X fields.
386 * consider adding RuntimeDirectoryUser= + RuntimeDirectoryGroup=
388 * sd-event: define more intervals where we will shift wakeup intervals around in, 1h, 6h, 24h, ...
390 * gpt-auto-generator:
391 - Support LUKS for root devices
392 - Define new partition type for encrypted swap? Support probed LUKS for encrypted swap?
393 - Make /home automount rather than mount?
395 * add generator that pulls in systemd-network from containers when
396 CAP_NET_ADMIN is set, more than the loopback device is defined, even
397 when it is otherwise off
399 * MessageQueueMessageSize= and RLimitFSIZE= (and suchlike) should use parse_iec_size().
401 * "busctl status" works only as root on dbus1, since we cannot read
404 * implement Distribute= in socket units to allow running multiple
405 service instances processing the listening socket, and open this up
408 * socket units: support creating sockets in different namespace,
409 opening it up for JoinsNamespaceOf=. This would require to fork off
410 a tiny process that joins the namespace and creates/binds the socket
411 and passes this back to PID1 via SCM_RIGHTS. This also could be used
412 to allow Chown/chgrp on sockets without requiring NSS in PID 1.
414 * New service property: maximum CPU and wallclock runtime for a service
416 * introduce bus call FreezeUnit(s, b), as well as "systemctl freeze
417 $UNIT" and "systemctl thaw $UNIT" as wrappers around this. The calls
418 should SIGSTOP all unit processes in a loop until all processes of
419 it are fully stopped. This can later be used for app management by
420 desktop UIs such as gnome-shell to freeze apps that are not visible
421 on screen, not unlike how job control works on the shell
424 - implement per-slice CPUFairScheduling=1 switch
425 - handle jointly mounted controllers correctly
426 - introduce high-level settings for RT budget, swappiness
427 - how to reset dynamically changed unit cgroup attributes sanely?
428 - when reloading configuration, apply new cgroup configuration
429 - when recursively showing the cgroup hierarchy, optionally also show
430 the hierarchies of child processes
433 - add field to transient units that indicate whether systemd or somebody else saves/restores its settings, for integration with libvirt
434 - ensure scope units may be started only a single time
436 * Automatically configure swap partition to use for hibernation by looking for largest swap partition on the root disk?
438 * when we detect low battery and no AC on boot, show pretty splash and refuse boot
440 * machined, localed: when we try to kill an empty cgroup, generate an ESRCH error over the bus
442 * libsystemd-journal, libsystemd-login, libudev: add calls to easily attach these objects to sd-event event loops
444 * be more careful what we export on the bus as (usec_t) 0 and (usec_t) -1
446 * unify dispatch table in systemctl_main() and friends
448 * 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
450 * After coming back from hibernation reset hibernation swap partition using the /dev/snapshot ioctl APIs
452 * If we try to find a unit via a dangling symlink, generate a clean
453 error. Currently, we just ignore it and read the unit from the search
456 * refuse boot if /etc/os-release is missing or /etc/machine-id cannot be set up
458 * btrfs raid assembly: some .device jobs stay stuck in the queue
460 * make sure gdm does not use multi-user-x but the new default X configuration file, and then remove multi-user-x from systemd
462 * man: the documentation of Restart= currently is very misleading and suggests the tools from ExecStartPre= might get restarted.
464 * load .d/*.conf dropins for device units
466 * allow implementation of InaccessibleDirectories=/ plus
467 ReadOnlyDirectories=... for whitelisting files for a service.
471 - GetAllProperties() on a non-existing object does not result in a failure currently
472 - kdbus: process fd=-1 for incoming msgs
473 - port to sd-resolve for connecting to TCP dbus servers
474 - kdbus: maybe add controlling tty metadata fields
475 - 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
476 - when kdbus does not take our message without memfds, try again with memfds
477 - see if we can drop more message validation on the sending side
478 - add API to clone sd_bus_message objects
479 - make AddMatch calls on dbus1 transports async?
480 - kdbus: matches against source or destination pids for an "strace -p"-like feel. Problem: The PID info needs to be available in userspace too...
481 - longer term: priority inheritance
484 - NameLost/NameAcquired obsolete
487 - update systemd.special(7) to mention that dbus.socket is only about the compatibility socket now
488 - test bloom filter generation indexes
489 - bus-proxy: when passing messages from kdbus, make sure we properly
490 handle the case where a large number of fds is appended that we
491 cannot pass into sendmsg() of the AF_UNIX sokcet (which only accepts
493 - kdbus: introduce a concept of "send-only" connections
494 - 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.
497 - allow multiple signal handlers per signal?
498 - document chaining of signal handler for SIGCHLD and child handlers
500 * in the final killing spree, detect processes from the root directory, and
501 complain loudly if they have argv[0][0] == '@' set.
502 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=961044
504 * investigate endianness issues of UUID vs. GUID
506 * dbus: when a unit failed to load (i.e. is in UNIT_ERROR state), we
507 should be able to safely try another attempt when the bus call LoadUnit() is invoked.
509 * add a pam module that passes the hdd passphrase into the PAM stack and then expires it, for usage by gdm auto-login.
511 * add a pam module that on password changes updates any LUKS slot where the password matches
513 * maybe add a generator that looks for "systemd.run=" on the kernel cmdline for container usercases...
515 * cgtop: make cgtop useful in a container
518 - add 'set -e' to scripts in test/
519 - make stuff in test/ work with separate output dir
521 * seems that when we follow symlinks to units we prefer the symlink
522 destination path over /etc and /usr. We should not do that. Instead
523 /etc should always override /run+/usr and also any symlink
526 * when isolating, try to figure out a way how we implicitly can order
527 all units we stop before the isolating unit...
529 * teach ConditionKernelCommandLine= globs or regexes (in order to match foobar={no,0,off})
531 * BootLoaderSpec: Clarify that the kernel has to be in $BOOT. Clarify
532 that the boot loader should be installed to the ESP. Define a way
533 how an installer can figure out whether a BLS compliant boot loader
536 * think about requeuing jobs when daemon-reload is issued? usecase:
537 the initrd issues a reload after fstab from the host is accessible
538 and we might want to requeue the mounts local-fs acquired through
541 * systemd-inhibit: make taking delay locks useful: support sending SIGINT or SIGTERM on PrepareForSleep()
543 * journal-or-kmsg is currently broken? See reverted commit 4a01181e460686d8b4a543b1dfa7f77c9e3c5ab8.
545 * remove any syslog support from log.c -- we probably cannot do this before split-off udev is gone for good
547 * shutdown logging: store to EFI var, and store to USB stick?
549 * write UI tool that pops up emergency messages from the journal as notification
551 * think about window-manager-run-as-user-service problem: exit 0 → activate shutdown.target; exit != 0 → restart service
553 * merge unit_kill_common() and unit_kill_context()
555 * introduce ExecCondition= in services
558 - honor language efi variables for default language selection (if there are any?)
559 - honor timezone efi variables for default timezone selection (if there are any?)
560 - change bootctl to be backed by systemd-bootd to control temporary and persistent default boot goal plus efi variables
562 * maybe do not install getty@tty1.service symlink in /etc but in /usr?
564 * fstab: add new mount option x-systemd-after=/foobar/waldo to allow manual dependencies to other mount points
565 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=812826
567 * print a nicer explanation if people use variable/specifier expansion in ExecStart= for the first word
569 * mount: turn dependency information from /proc/self/mountinfo into dependency information between systemd units.
572 - logind: optionally, ignore idle-hint logic for autosuspend, block suspend as long as a session is around
573 - When we update the kernel all kind of hibernation should be prohibited until shutdown/reboot
574 - logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
575 - Add pretty name for seats in logind
576 - logind: allow showing logout dialog from system?
577 - we should probably handle SIGTERM/SIGINT to not leave dot files around, just in case
578 - session scopes/user unit: add RequiresMountsFor for the home directory of the user
579 - add Suspend() bus calls which take timestamps to fix double suspend issues when somebody hits suspend and closes laptop quickly.
580 - if pam_systemd is invoked by su from a process that is outside of a
581 any session we should probably just become a NOP, since that's
582 usually not a real user session but just some system code that just
584 - logind: make the Suspend()/Hibernate() bus calls wait for the for
585 the job to be completed. before returning, so that clients can wait
586 for "systemctl suspend" to finish to know when the suspending is
588 - logind: when the power button is pressed short, just popup a
589 logout dialog. If it is pressed for 1s, do the usual
590 shutdown. Inspiration are Macs here.
591 - expose "Locked" property on logind sesison objects
592 - given that logind now lets PID 1 do all nasty work, we can
593 probably reduce the capability set it retains substantially.
594 (we need CAP_SYS_ADMIN for drmSetMaster(), so maybe not worth it)
595 - expose orientation sensors and tablet mode through logind
597 * exec: when deinitializating a tty device fix the perms and group, too, not only when initializing. Set access mode/gid to 0620/tty.
599 * service: watchdog logic: for testing purposes allow ping, but do not require pong
602 - consider introducing implicit _TTY= + _PPID= + _EUID= + _EGID= + _FSUID= + _FSGID= fields
603 - import and delete pstore filesystem content at startup
604 - journald: also get thread ID from client, plus thread name
605 - journal: when waiting for journal additions in the client always sleep at least 1s or so, in order to minimize wakeups
606 - add API to close/reopen/get fd for journal client fd in libsystemd-journal.
607 - fallback to /dev/log based logging in libsystemd-journal, if we cannot log natively?
608 - declare the local journal protocol stable in the wiki interface chart
609 - journal: reuse XZ context
610 - sd-journal: speed up sd_journal_get_data() with transparent hash table in bg
611 - journald: when dropping msgs due to ratelimit make sure to write
612 "dropped %u messages" not only when we are about to print the next
613 message that works, but alraedy after a short tiemout
614 - check if we can make journalctl by default use --follow mode inside of less if called without args?
615 - maybe add API to send pairs of iovecs via sd_journal_send
616 - journal: when writing journal auto-rotate if time jumps backwards
617 - journal: add a setgid "systemd-journal" utility to invoke from libsystemd-journal, which passes fds via STDOUT and does PK access
618 - journactl: support negative filtering, i.e. FOOBAR!="waldo",
619 and !FOOBAR for events without FOOBAR.
620 - journal: store timestamp of journal_file_set_offline() int he header,
621 so it is possible to display when the file was last synced.
622 - 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.
623 - journal: find a way to allow dropping history early, based on priority, other rules
624 - journal: When used on NFS, check payload hashes
625 - journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
626 - refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
627 - journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
628 - journal: deal nicely with byte-by-byte copied files, especially regards header
629 - journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the components would fit
630 - Replace utmp, wtmp, btmp, and lastlog completely with journal
631 - journalctl: instead --after-cursor= maybe have a --cursor=XYZ+1 syntax?
632 - when a kernel driver logs in a tight loop, we should ratelimit that too.
633 - journald: optionally, log debug messages to /run but everything else to /var
634 - journald: when we drop syslog messages because the syslog socket is
635 full, make sure to write how many messages are lost as first thing
636 to syslog when it works again.
637 - journald: make sure ratelimit is actually really per-service with the new cgroup changes
638 - change systemd-journal-flush into a service that stays around during
639 boot, and causes the journal to be moved back to /run on shutdown,
640 so that we do not keep /var busy. This needs to happen synchronously,
641 hence doing this via signals is not going to work.
642 - optionally support running journald from the command line for testing purposes in external projects
643 - journald: allow per-priority and per-service retention times when rotating/vacuuming
644 - journald: make use of uid-range.h to managed uid ranges to split
646 - journalctl: add the ability to look for the most recent process of a binary. journalctl /usr/bin/X11 --pid=-1 or so...
647 - improve journalctl performance by loading journal files
648 lazily. Encode just enough information in the file name, so that we
649 do not have to open it to know that it is not interesting for us, for
650 the most common operations.
653 - document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fields in
654 [Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
655 - man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
656 - document the exit codes when services fail before they are exec()ed
657 - document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
658 - document in wiki how to map ical recurrence events to systemd timer unit calendar specifications
659 - add a man page containing packaging guidelines and recommending usage of things like Documentation=, PrivateTmp=, PrivateNetwork= and ReadOnlyDirectories=/etc /usr.
660 - document systemd-journal-flush.service properly
661 - documentation: recommend to connect the timer units of a service to the service via Also= in [Install]
662 - man: document the very specific env the shutdown drop-in tools live in
663 - man: extend runlevel(8) to mention that runlevels suck, and are dead. Maybe add runlevel(7) with a note about that too
664 - man: add more examples to man pages
665 - man: maybe sort directives in man pages, and take sections from --help and apply them to man too
668 - systemctl list-jobs - show dependencies
669 - add systemctl switch to dump transaction without executing it
670 - Add a verbose mode to "systemctl start" and friends that explains what is being done or not done
671 - "systemctl disable" on a static unit prints no message and does
672 nothing. "systemctl enable" does nothing, and gives a bad message
673 about it. Should fix both to print nice actionable messages.
674 - print nice message from systemctl --failed if there are no entries shown, and hook that into ExecStartPre of rescue.service/emergency.service
675 - add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
676 - systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into does not exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
677 - systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
678 - support "systemctl stop foobar@.service" to stop all units matching a certain template
679 - Something is wrong with symlink handling of "autovt@.service" in "systemctl list-unit-files"
680 - better error message if you run systemctl without systemd running
681 - systemctl status output should should include list of triggering units and their status
684 - "systemctl mask" should find all names by which a unit is accessible
685 (i.e. by scanning for symlinks to it) and link them all to /dev/null
686 - systemctl list-unit-files should list generated files (and probably with a new state "generated" for them, or so)
689 - timer units should get the ability to trigger when:
690 o CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (TFD_TIMER_CANCEL_ON_SET)
692 - Support 2012-02~4 as syntax for specifying the fourth to last day of the month.
693 - calendarspec: support value ranges with ".." notation. Example: 2013-4..8-1
694 - 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
695 - Modulate timer frequency based on battery state
697 * add libsystemd-password or so to query passwords during boot using the password agent logic
699 * 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().
701 * clean up date formatting and parsing so that all absolute/relative timestamps we format can also be parsed
703 * on shutdown: move utmp, wall, audit logic all into PID 1 (or logind?), get rid of systemd-update-utmp-runlevel
705 * make repeated alt-ctrl-del presses printing a dump, or even force a reboot without
706 waiting for the timeout
708 * hostnamed: before returning information from /etc/machine-info.conf check the modification data and reread. Similar for localed, ...
710 * currently x-systemd.timeout is lost in the initrd, since crypttab is copied into dracut, but fstab is not
713 - refuses to boot containers without /etc/machine-id (OK?), and with empty /etc/machine-id (not OK).
716 - cryptsetup-generator: allow specification of passwords in crypttab itself
717 - move cryptsetup key caching into kernel keyctl?
718 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54982
719 - support rd.luks.allow-discards= kernel cmdline params in cryptsetup generator
721 * hw watchdog: optionally try to use the preset watchdog timeout instead of always overriding it
722 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54712
724 * after deserializing sockets in socket.c we should reapply sockopts and things
726 * make timer units go away after they elapsed
728 * move PID 1 segfaults to /var/lib/systemd/coredump?
730 * create /sbin/init symlinks from the build system
732 * allow writing multiple conditions in unit files on one line
734 * MountFlags=shared acts as MountFlags=slave right now.
736 * drop PID 1 reloading, only do reexecing (difficult: Reload()
737 currently is properly synchronous, Reexec() is weird, because we
738 cannot delay the response properly until we are back, so instead of
739 being properly synchronous we just keep open the fd and close it
740 when done. That means clients do not get a successful method reply,
741 but much rather a disconnect on success.
743 * properly handle loop back mounts via fstab, especially regards to fsck/passno
745 * initialize the hostname from the fs label of /, if /etc/hostname does not exist?
747 * rename "userspace" to "core-os"
749 * load-fragment: when loading a unit file via a chain of symlinks
750 verify that it is not masked via any of the names traversed.
752 * introduce Type=pid-file
754 * change Requires=basic.target to RequisiteOverride=basic.target
756 * when breaking cycles drop sysv services first, then services from /run, then from /etc, then from /usr
758 * ExecOnFailure=/usr/bin/foo
763 - add trigger --subsystem-match=usb/usb_device device
764 - reimport udev db after MOVE events for devices without dev_t
766 * 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
768 * introduce mix of BindTo and Requisite
770 * There's currently no way to cancel fsck (used to be possible via C-c or c on the console)
772 * add option to sockets to avoid activation. Instead just drop packets/connections, see http://cyberelk.net/tim/2012/02/15/portreserve-systemd-solution/
774 * default unix qlen is too small (10). bump sysctl? add sockopt?
776 * save coredump in Windows/Mozilla minidump format
778 * support crash reporting operation modes (https://live.gnome.org/GnomeOS/Design/Whiteboards/ProblemReporting)
780 * default to actual 32-bit PIDs, via /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max
782 * be able to specify a forced restart of service A where service B depends on, in case B
783 needs to be auto-respawned?
785 * when a bus name of a service disappears from the bus make sure to queue further activation requests
788 - apply "x" on "D" too (see patch from William Douglas)
790 - instead of ignoring unknown fields, reject them.
792 * for services: do not set $HOME in services unless requested
794 * hide PAM options in fragment parser when compile time disabled
796 * when we automatically restart a service, ensure we restart its rdeps, too.
798 * allow Type=simple with PIDFile=
799 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=723942
801 * move PAM code into its own binary
803 * implement Register= switch in .socket units to enable registration
804 in Avahi, RPC and other socket registration services.
806 * make sure systemd-ask-password-wall does not shutdown systemd-ask-password-console too early
808 * add ReloadSignal= for configuring a reload signal to use
810 * verify that the AF_UNIX sockets of a service in the fs still exist
811 when we start a service in order to avoid confusion when a user
812 assumes starting a service is enough to make it accessible
814 * Make it possible to set the keymap independently from the font on
815 the kernel cmdline. Right now setting one resets also the other.
817 * and a dbus call to generate target from current state
819 * GC unreferenced jobs (such as .device jobs)
821 * write blog stories about:
822 - hwdb: what belongs into it, lsusb

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

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