2 * Re-enable "fsck -l" when it is ready:
3 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=79576#c5
5 * Should systemctl status \* work on all unit types, not just .service?
7 * Dangling symlinks of .automount unit files in .wants/ directories, set up
8 automount points even when the original .automount file did not exist
9 anymore. Only the .mount unit was still around.
11 * properly handle .mount unit state tracking when two mount points are stacked one on top of another on the exact same mount point.
14 * Fedora: add an rpmlint check that verifies that all unit files in the RPM are listed in %systemd_post macros.
16 * Fedora: post FPC ticket to move add %tmpfiles_create to the packaging guidelines
18 * Fedora: move kernel image to /usr/lib/modules/, kernel-install will take care of populating /boot
20 * Fedora: remove /etc/resolv.conf tmpfiles hack
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 * man: maybe use the word "inspect" rather than "introspect"?
31 * introduce machines.target to order after all nspawn instances
33 * systemd-nspawn@.service should fail if some nspawn arg is invalid, with Type=notify
35 * "machinectl list" should probably show columns for OS version and IP addresses
37 * systemctl: if it fails, show log output?
39 * maybe add "systemctl edit" that copies unit files from /usr/lib/systemd/system to /etc/systemd/system and invokes vim on them
41 * dbus: add new message hdr field for allowing interactive auth, write spec for it. update dbus spec to mandate that unknown flags *must* be ignored...
43 * maybe introduce AssertXYZ= similar to ConditionXYZ= that causes a unit to fail (instead of skipping it) if some condition is not true...
45 * remove multi-seat-x now
47 * refcounting in sd-resolve is borked
49 * exponential backoff in timesyncd and resolved when we cannot reach a server
51 * apply start timeout during the "initializing" manager state only,
52 instead of both "initializing" and "starting". maybe rename the
53 timeout to "initialization-timeout" then or so?
55 * journald: make use of uid-range.h to managed uid ranges to split
58 * tmpfiles: port to unquote_many_words(), similar to sysusers
60 * unquote_many_words() should probably be used by a lot of code that
61 currently uses FOREACH_WORD and friends. For example, most conf
62 parsing callbacks should use it.
64 * logind: make the Suspend()/Hibernate() bus calls wait for the for
65 the job to be completed. before returning, so that clients can wait
66 for "systemctl suspend" to finish to know when the suspending is
69 * merge ~/.local/share and ~/.local/lib into one similar /usr/lib and /usr/share....
71 * remove readahead in 217
73 * journald: allows specification of UID range for splitting up journal files
75 * systemd.show_status= should probably have a mode where only failed
79 - add LLDP client side support
80 - the DHCP lease data (such as NTP/DNS) is still made available when
81 a carrier is lost on a link. It should be removed instantly.
82 - .network setting that allows overriding of the hostname to send to the dhcp server
83 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-July/021550.html
84 - expose in the API the following bits:
85 - option 15, domain name and/or option 119, search list
86 - option 12, host name and/or option 81, fqdn
87 - option 100, 101, timezone
88 - option 123, 144, geolocation
89 - option 252, configure http proxy (PAC/wpad)
90 - networkd's dhcp server should transparently pass on the DNS and
91 NTP server list it got from user configuration and its dhcp client
92 to clients. It should also pass on its own timezone information.
93 - provide a way to define a per-network interface default metric value
94 for all routes to it. possibly a second default for DHCP routes.
97 - put networkd events and rtnl events at a higher priority, so that
98 we always process them before we process client requests
100 - use base64 for key presentation?
101 - add display of private key types (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4034#appendix-A.1.1)?
102 - add nice formatting of DNS timestamps
107 - DNS-SD service registration from socket units
112 * Ignore .busname units on classic D-Bus boots, systemd-resolved cannot be started on kdbus
113 without the active policy and should get a Wants=org.freedesktop.resolve1.busname to
116 * Allow multiple ExecStart= for all Type= settings, so that we can cover rescue.service nicely
118 * Add a new verb "systemctl top"
120 * logind: allow users to kill or lock their own sessions
122 * add new gpt type for btrfs volumes
124 * support empty /etc boots nicely:
125 - nspawn/gpt-generator: introduce new gpt partition type for /usr
126 - fstab-generator: support systemd.volatile=yes|no|state on the kernel cmdline, too, similar to nspawn's --volatile=
127 - fstab-generator: add support for usr= in addition to root= on the kernel cmdline
129 * generator that automatically discovers btrfs subvolumes, identifies their purpose based on some xattr on them.
131 * support setting empty environment variables with Environment= and EnvironmentFile=
133 * timer units: actually add extra delays to timer units with high AccuracySec values, don't start them already when we are awake...
135 * a way for container managers to turn off getty starting via $container_headless= or so...
137 * figure out a nice way how we can let the admin know what child/sibling unit causes cgroup membership for a specific unit
139 * journalctl: add the ability to look for the most recent process of a binary. journalctl /usr/bin/X11 --pid=-1 or so...
141 * set NOTIFY_SOCKET also for control processes
143 * mount_cgroup_controllers(): symlinks need to get the label applied
145 * For timer units: add some mechanisms so that timer units that trigger immediately on boot do not have the services
146 they run added to the initial transaction and thus confuse Type=idle.
148 * 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)
150 * sd-event: generate a failure of a default event loop is executed out-of-thread
152 * expose "Locked" property on logind sesison objects
154 * add bus api to query unit file's X fields.
156 * consider adding RuntimeDirectoryUser= + RuntimeDirectoryGroup=
158 * sd-event: define more intervals where we will shift wakeup intervals around in, 1h, 6h, 24h, ...
160 * gpt-auto-generator:
161 - Support LUKS for root devices
162 - Define new partition type for encrypted swap? Support probed LUKS for encrypted swap?
163 - Make /home automount rather than mount?
165 * improve journalctl performance by loading journal files
166 lazily. Encode just enough information in the file name, so that we
167 do not have to open it to know that it is not interesting for us, for
168 the most common operations.
170 * add generator that pulls in systemd-network from containers when
171 CAP_NET_ADMIN is set, more than the loopback device is defined, even
172 when it is otherwise off
174 * MessageQueueMessageSize= and RLimitFSIZE= (and suchlike) should use parse_iec_size().
176 * "busctl status" works only as root on dbus1, since we cannot read
179 * implement Distribute= in socket units to allow running multiple
180 service instances processing the listening socket, and open this up
183 * socket units: support creating sockets in different namespace,
184 opening it up for JoinsNamespaceOf=. This would require to fork off
185 a tiny process that joins the namespace and creates/binds the socket
186 and passes this back to PID1 via SCM_RIGHTS. This also could be used
187 to allow Chown/chgrp on sockets without requiring NSS in PID 1.
189 * New service property: maximum CPU and wallclock runtime for a service
191 * introduce bus call FreezeUnit(s, b), as well as "systemctl freeze
192 $UNIT" and "systemctl thaw $UNIT" as wrappers around this. The calls
193 should SIGSTOP all unit processes in a loop until all processes of
194 it are fully stopped. This can later be used for app management by
195 desktop UIs such as gnome-shell to freeze apps that are not visible
196 on screen, not unlike how job control works on the shell
199 - manager property enumeration was broken when systemd moved to /usr/lib/
202 - implement per-slice CPUFairScheduling=1 switch
203 - handle jointly mounted controllers correctly
204 - introduce high-level settings for RT budget, swappiness
205 - how to reset dynamically changed unit cgroup attributes sanely?
206 - when reloading configuration, apply new cgroup configuration
207 - when recursively showing the cgroup hierarchy, optionally also show
208 the hierarchies of child processes
211 - allow creating auxiliary units with the same call
212 - add field to transient units that indicate whether systemd or somebody else saves/restores its settings, for integration with libvirt
213 - ensure scope units may be started only a single time
215 * Automatically configure swap partition to use for hibernation by looking for largest swap partition on the root disk?
217 * when we detect low battery and no AC on boot, show pretty splash and refuse boot
219 * machined, localed: when we try to kill an empty cgroup, generate an ESRCH error over the bus
221 * libsystemd-journal, libsystemd-login, libudev: add calls to easily attach these objects to sd-event event loops
223 * be more careful what we export on the bus as (usec_t) 0 and (usec_t) -1
225 * unify dispatch table in systemctl_main() and friends
227 * 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
229 * After coming back from hibernation reset hibernation swap partition using the /dev/snapshot ioctl APIs
231 * If we try to find a unit via a dangling symlink, generate a clean
232 error. Currently, we just ignore it and read the unit from the search
235 * refuse boot if /etc/os-release is missing or /etc/machine-id cannot be set up
237 * given that logind now lets PID 1 do all nasty work, we can
238 probably reduce the capability set it retains substantially.
239 (we need CAP_SYS_ADMIN for drmSetMaster(), so maybe not worth it)
241 * btrfs raid assembly: some .device jobs stay stuck in the queue
243 * make sure gdm does not use multi-user-x but the new default X configuration file, and then remove multi-user-x from systemd
245 * man: the documentation of Restart= currently is very misleading and suggests the tools from ExecStartPre= might get restarted.
247 * load .d/*.conf dropins for device units
249 * allow implementation of InaccessibleDirectories=/ plus
250 ReadOnlyDirectories=... for whitelisting files for a service.
253 - when kdbus does not take our message without memfds, try again with memfds
254 - systemd-bus-proxyd needs to enforce good old XML policy
255 - allow updating attach flags during runtime
256 - pid1: peek into activating message when activating a service
257 - introduce sd_bus_emit_object_added()/sd_bus_emit_object_removed() that automatically includes the build-in interfaces in the list
258 - port to sd-resolve for connecting to TCP dbus servers
259 - see if we can drop more message validation on the sending side
260 - add API to clone sd_bus_message objects
261 - make AddMatch calls on dbus1 transports async?
262 - kdbus: matches against source or destination pids for an "strace -p"-like feel. Problem: The PID info needs to be available in userspace too...
263 - longer term: priority inheritance
266 - NameLost/NameAcquired obsolete
268 - "const" properties (posted)
270 - update systemd.special(7) to mention that dbus.socket is only about the compatibility socket now
271 - test bloom filter generation indexes
274 - allow multiple signal handlers per signal?
276 * in the final killing spree, detect processes from the root directory, and
277 complain loudly if they have argv[0][0] == '@' set.
278 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=961044
280 * investigate endianness issues of UUID vs. GUID
282 * dbus: when a unit failed to load (i.e. is in UNIT_ERROR state), we
283 should be able to safely try another attempt when the bus call LoadUnit() is invoked.
285 * add a pam module that passes the hdd passphrase into the PAM stack and then expires it, for usage by gdm auto-login.
287 * add a pam module that on password changes updates any LUKS slot where the password matches
289 * maybe add a generator that looks for "systemd.run=" on the kernel cmdline for container usercases...
291 * timedatectl: print a nicer message when enabling ntp fails because ntpd/chrony are not installed
293 * cgtop: make cgtop useful in a container
296 - add 'set -e' to scripts in test/
297 - make stuff in test/ work with separate output dir
299 * seems that when we follow symlinks to units we prefer the symlink
300 destination path over /etc and /usr. We should not do that. Instead
301 /etc should always override /run+/usr and also any symlink
304 * when isolating, try to figure out a way how we implicitly can order
305 all units we stop before the isolating unit...
307 * teach ConditionKernelCommandLine= globs or regexes (in order to match foobar={no,0,off})
309 * after all byte-wise realloc() is slow, even on glibc, so i guess we
310 need manual exponential loops after all
312 * BootLoaderSpec: Clarify that the kernel has to be in $BOOT. Clarify
313 that the boot loader should be installed to the ESP. Define a way
314 how an installer can figure out whether a BLS compliant boot loader
317 * think about requeuing jobs when daemon-reload is issued? usecase:
318 the initrd issues a reload after fstab from the host is accessible
319 and we might want to requeue the mounts local-fs acquired through
322 * systemd-inhibit: make taking delay locks useful: support sending SIGINT or SIGTERM on PrepareForSleep()
324 * journal-or-kmsg is currently broken? See reverted commit 4a01181e460686d8b4a543b1dfa7f77c9e3c5ab8.
326 * remove any syslog support from log.c -- we probably cannot do this before split-off udev is gone for good
328 * shutdown logging: store to EFI var, and store to USB stick?
330 * write UI tool that pops up emergency messages from the journal as notification
332 * think about window-manager-run-as-user-service problem: exit 0 → activate shutdown.target; exit != 0 → restart service
334 * use "log level" rather than "log priority" everywhere
336 * merge unit_kill_common() and unit_kill_context()
338 * introduce ExecCondition= in services
341 - honor language efi variables for default language selection (if there are any?)
342 - honor timezone efi variables for default timezone selection (if there are any?)
343 - change bootctl to be backed by systemd-bootd to control temporary and persistent default boot goal plus efi variables
345 * maybe do not install getty@tty1.service symlink in /etc but in /usr?
347 * re-enable "make check" for gtk-doc (broken for unknown reason)
349 * fstab: add new mount option x-systemd-after=/foobar/waldo to allow manual dependencies to other mount points
350 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=812826
352 * print a nicer explanation if people use variable/specifier expansion in ExecStart= for the first word
354 * mount: turn dependency information from /proc/self/mountinfo into dependency information between systemd units.
357 - logind: optionally, ignore idle-hint logic for autosuspend, block suspend as long as a session is around
358 - When we update the kernel all kind of hibernation should be prohibited until shutdown/reboot
359 - logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
360 - Add pretty name for seats in logind
361 - logind: allow showing logout dialog from system?
362 - we should probably handle SIGTERM/SIGINT to not leave dot files around, just in case
363 - session scopes/user unit: add RequiresMountsFor for the home directory of the user
364 - add Suspend() bus calls which take timestamps to fix double suspend issues when somebody hits suspend and closes laptop quickly.
365 - if pam_systemd is invoked by su from a process that is outside of a
366 any session we should probably just become a NOP, since that's
367 usually not a real user session but just some system code that just
370 * exec: when deinitializating a tty device fix the perms and group, too, not only when initializing. Set access mode/gid to 0620/tty.
372 * service: watchdog logic: for testing purposes allow ping, but do not require pong
375 - import and delete pstore filesystem content at startup
376 - journald: also get thread ID from client, plus thread name
377 - journal: when waiting for journal additions in the client always sleep at least 1s or so, in order to minimize wakeups
378 - add API to close/reopen/get fd for journal client fd in libsystemd-journal.
379 - fallback to /dev/log based logging in libsystemd-journal, if we cannot log natively?
380 - declare the local journal protocol stable in the wiki interface chart
381 - journal: reuse XZ context
382 - sd-journal: speed up sd_journal_get_data() with transparent hash table in bg
383 - journald: when dropping msgs due to ratelimit make sure to write
384 "dropped %u messages" not only when we are about to print the next
385 message that works, but alraedy after a short tiemout
386 - check if we can make journalctl by default use --follow mode inside of less if called without args?
387 - maybe add API to send pairs of iovecs via sd_journal_send
388 - journal: when writing journal auto-rotate if time jumps backwards
389 - journal: add a setgid "systemd-journal" utility to invoke from libsystemd-journal, which passes fds via STDOUT and does PK access
390 - journactl: support negative filtering, i.e. FOOBAR!="waldo",
391 and !FOOBAR for events without FOOBAR.
392 - journal: send out marker messages every now and then, and immediately sync with fdatasync() afterwards, in order to have hourly guaranteed syncs.
393 - 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.
394 - journal: find a way to allow dropping history early, based on priority, other rules
395 - journal: When used on NFS, check payload hashes
396 - journald: check whether it is OK if the client can still modify delivered journal entries
397 - journal live copy, based on libneon (client) and libmicrohttpd (server)
398 - journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
399 - refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
400 - journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
401 - journal: deal nicely with byte-by-byte copied files, especially regards header
402 - journal: store euid in journal if it differs from uid
403 - journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the components would fit
404 - Replace utmp, wtmp, btmp, and lastlog completely with journal
405 - journalctl: instead --after-cursor= maybe have a --cursor=XYZ+1 syntax?
406 - tmpfiles: when applying ownership to /run/log/journal, also do this for the journal fails contained in it
407 - when a kernel driver logs in a tight loop, we should ratelimit that too.
408 - journald: optionally, log debug messages to /run but everything else to /var
409 - journald: when we drop syslog messages because the syslog socket is
410 full, make sure to write how many messages are lost as first thing
411 to syslog when it works again.
412 - journald: make sure ratelimit is actually really per-service with the new cgroup changes
413 - change systemd-journal-flush into a service that stays around during
414 boot, and causes the journal to be moved back to /run on shutdown,
415 so that we do not keep /var busy. This needs to happen synchronously,
416 hence doing this via signals is not going to work.
419 - document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fields in
420 [Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
421 - man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
422 - document the exit codes when services fail before they are exec()ed
423 - document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
424 - document in wiki how to map ical recurrence events to systemd timer unit calendar specifications
425 - add a man page containing packaging guidelines and recommending usage of things like Documentation=, PrivateTmp=, PrivateNetwork= and ReadOnlyDirectories=/etc /usr.
426 - document systemd-journal-flush.service properly
427 - documentation: recommend to connect the timer units of a service to the service via Also= in [Install]
428 - man: document the very specific env the shutdown drop-in tools live in
429 - man: extend runlevel(8) to mention that runlevels suck, and are dead. Maybe add runlevel(7) with a note about that too
430 - man: add more examples to man pages
431 - man: maybe sort directives in man pages, and take sections from --help and apply them to man too
434 - systemctl list-jobs - show dependencies
435 - add systemctl switch to dump transaction without executing it
436 - Add a verbose mode to "systemctl start" and friends that explains what is being done or not done
437 - "systemctl disable" on a static unit prints no message and does
438 nothing. "systemctl enable" does nothing, and gives a bad message
439 about it. Should fix both to print nice actionable messages.
440 - print nice message from systemctl --failed if there are no entries shown, and hook that into ExecStartPre of rescue.service/emergency.service
441 - add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
442 - systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into does not exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
443 - systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
444 - support "systemctl stop foobar@.service" to stop all units matching a certain template
445 - Something is wrong with symlink handling of "autovt@.service" in "systemctl list-unit-files"
446 - better error message if you run systemctl without systemd running
447 - systemctl status output should should include list of triggering units and their status
450 - "systemctl mask" should find all names by which a unit is accessible
451 (i.e. by scanning for symlinks to it) and link them all to /dev/null
452 - systemctl list-unit-files should list generated files (and probably with a new state "generated" for them, or so)
453 - systemctl: maybe add "systemctl add-wants" or so...
456 - timer units should get the ability to trigger when:
457 o CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (TFD_TIMER_CANCEL_ON_SET)
459 - Support 2012-02~4 as syntax for specifying the fourth to last day of the month.
460 - calendarspec: support value ranges with ".." notation. Example: 2013-4..8-1
461 - 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
462 - Modulate timer frequency based on battery state
464 * update the kernel's TZ (sys_tz) when DST changes
466 * sync down the system time to the RTC when:
467 - CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (the user explicitely requested a time set)
468 - DST/timezone changes && ntp is active && RTC-in-localtime (never do it without ntp)
469 This takes care of syncing ntpdate updates to the RTC, and DST updates for localtime
470 mode, it will never touch the RTC if the no reliable time source is active or the
471 user did not request anything like it.
473 * add libsystemd-password or so to query passwords during boot using the password agent logic
475 * 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().
477 * fedup: add --unit to systemctl switch-root somehow
478 * fedup: do not delete initrd on switch-root
481 * clean up date formatting and parsing so that all absolute/relative timestamps we format can also be parsed
483 * on shutdown: move utmp, wall, audit logic all into PID 1 (or logind?), get rid of systemd-update-utmp-runlevel
485 * make repeated alt-ctrl-del presses printing a dump, or even force a reboot without
486 waiting for the timeout
488 * hostnamed: before returning information from /etc/machine-info.conf check the modification data and reread. Similar for localed, ...
490 * currently x-systemd.timeout is lost in the initrd, since crypttab is copied into dracut, but fstab is not
493 - bind mount read-only the cgroup tree higher than nspawn
494 - refuses to boot containers without /etc/machine-id (OK?), and with empty /etc/machine-id (not OK).
495 - support taking a btrfs snapshot at startup and dropping it afterwards
498 - cryptsetup-generator: allow specification of passwords in crypttab itself
499 - move cryptsetup key caching into kernel keyctl?
500 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54982
501 - support rd.luks.allow-discards= kernel cmdline params in cryptsetup generator
503 * hw watchdog: optionally try to use the preset watchdog timeout instead of always overriding it
504 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54712
506 * after deserializing sockets in socket.c we should reapply sockopts and things
508 * make timer units go away after they elapsed
510 * come up with a nice way to write queue/read_ahead_kb for a block device without interfering with readahead
512 * move PID 1 segfaults to /var/lib/systemd/coredump?
514 * create /sbin/init symlinks from the build system
516 * allow writing multiple conditions in unit files on one line
518 * MountFlags=shared acts as MountFlags=slave right now.
520 * drop PID 1 reloading, only do reexecing (difficult: Reload()
521 currently is properly synchronous, Reexec() is weird, because we
522 cannot delay the response properly until we are back, so instead of
523 being properly synchronous we just keep open the fd and close it
524 when done. That means clients do not get a successful method reply,
525 but much rather a disconnect on success.
527 * properly handle loop back mounts via fstab, especially regards to fsck/passno
529 * initialize the hostname from the fs label of /, if /etc/hostname does not exist?
531 * rename "userspace" to "core-os"
533 * load-fragment: when loading a unit file via a chain of symlinks
534 verify that it is not masked via any of the names traversed.
536 * introduce Type=pid-file
538 * change Requires=basic.target to RequisiteOverride=basic.target
540 * when breaking cycles drop sysv services first, then services from /run, then from /etc, then from /usr
542 * automount: implement expire:
543 - set superblock timeout AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_TIMEOUT_CMD
544 - periodically run AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_EXPIRE_CMD
545 - every timeout/4 (original autofs logic)
546 - blocking, needs a thread
548 - receive expire packet on pipe if kernel tells the timeout is over
550 - answer expire packet on pipe with AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_{READY,FAIL}_CMD
551 - AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_EXPIRE_CMD returns
553 * ExecOnFailure=/usr/bin/foo
558 - add trigger --subsystem-match=usb/usb_device device
559 - reimport udev db after MOVE events for devices without dev_t
561 * 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
563 * introduce mix of BindTo and Requisite
565 * There's currently no way to cancel fsck (used to be possible via C-c or c on the console)
567 * add option to sockets to avoid activation. Instead just drop packets/connections, see http://cyberelk.net/tim/2012/02/15/portreserve-systemd-solution/
569 * default unix qlen is too small (10). bump sysctl? add sockopt?
571 * save coredump in Windows/Mozilla minidump format
573 * support crash reporting operation modes (https://live.gnome.org/GnomeOS/Design/Whiteboards/ProblemReporting)
575 * default to actual 32-bit PIDs, via /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max
577 * be able to specify a forced restart of service A where service B depends on, in case B
578 needs to be auto-respawned?
580 * when a bus name of a service disappears from the bus make sure to queue further activation requests
583 - apply "x" on "D" too (see patch from William Douglas)
585 * for services: do not set $HOME in services unless requested
587 * hide PAM options in fragment parser when compile time disabled
589 * when we automatically restart a service, ensure we restart its rdeps, too.
591 * allow Type=simple with PIDFile=
592 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=723942
594 * move PAM code into its own binary
596 * implement Register= switch in .socket units to enable registration
597 in Avahi, RPC and other socket registration services.
599 * make sure systemd-ask-password-wall does not shutdown systemd-ask-password-console too early
601 * add ReloadSignal= for configuring a reload signal to use
603 * verify that the AF_UNIX sockets of a service in the fs still exist
604 when we start a service in order to avoid confusion when a user
605 assumes starting a service is enough to make it accessible
607 * Make it possible to set the keymap independently from the font on
608 the kernel cmdline. Right now setting one resets also the other.
610 * and a dbus call to generate target from current state
613 - drop /.readahead on bigger upgrades with yum
614 - move readahead files into /var (look for them with .path units?)
615 - readahead: use BTRFS_IOC_DEFRAG_RANGE instead of BTRFS_IOC_DEFRAG ioctl, with START_IO
616 - readahead: when bumping /sys readahead variable save mtime and compare later to detect changes
617 - readahead: make use of EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT, as used by http://e4rat.sourceforge.net/
619 * GC unreferenced jobs (such as .device jobs)
621 * write blog stories about:
622 - hwdb: what belongs into it, lsusb
623 - enabling dbus services
625 - how to make changes to sysctl and sysfs attributes
627 - how to pass throw-away units to systemd, or dynamically change properties of existing units
628 - how to integrate cgconfig and suchlike with systemd
629 - testing with Harald's awesome test kit
631 - how to develop against journal browsing APIs
632 - the journal HTTP iface
633 - non-cgroup resource management
634 - dynamic resource management with cgroups
635 - refreshed, longer missions statement
636 - calendar time events
637 - init=/bin/sh vs. "emergency" mode, vs. "rescue" mode, vs. "multi-user" mode, vs. "graphical" mode, and the debug shell
638 - how to create your own target
639 - instantiated apache, dovecot and so on
640 - hooking a script into various stages of shutdown/rearly booot
642 * allow port=0 in .socket units
644 * recreate systemd's D-Bus private socket file on SIGUSR2
646 * Support --test based on current system state
648 * investigate whether the gnome pty helper should be moved into systemd, to provide cgroup support.
650 * maybe introduce ExecRestartPre=
652 * dot output for --test showing the 'initial transaction'
654 * fingerprint.target, wireless.target, gps.target, netdevice.target
656 * drop cap bounding set in readahead and other services
659 - figure out a simple way to wait for journal events in a way that
661 - add documentation to systemd.daemon
664 - plot per-process IO utilization
665 - group processes based on service association (cgroups)
666 - document initcall_debug
667 - kernel cmdline "bootchart" option for simplicity?
670 - Make sure ID_PATH is always exported and complete for
671 network devices where possible, so we can safely rely
673 - check MTUBytes parsing (expecting size_t but we are using unsigned)
676 - add support for more attribute types
677 - inbuilt piping support (essentially degenerate async)? see loopback-setup.c and other places
680 - add more keys to [Route] and [Address] sections
681 - add support for more DHCPv4 options (and, longer term, other kinds of dynamic config)
682 - add proper initrd support (in particular generate .network/.link files based on /proc/cmdline)
683 - add reduced [Link] support to .network files
684 - add Scope= parsing option for [Network]
685 - properly handle routerless dhcp leases
686 - add more attribute support for SIT tunnel
687 - work with non-ethernet devices
688 - add support for more bond options
690 * networkd-wait-online:
691 - make operstates to wait for configurable?
694 - figure out how much we can increase Maximum Message Size
695 - export timezone information
696 - support RFC4702 (pass FQDN)
699 - add functions to set previously stored IPv6 addresses on startup and get
700 them at shutdown; store them in client->ia_na
701 - write more test cases
702 - implement and do duplicate address detection, see rfc 4862, 5.4.
703 - implement reconfigure support, see 5.3., 15.11. and 22.20.
704 - implement information request, see 1.2. and 18.1.5.
705 - implement support for temporary adressess (IA_TA)
706 - implement dhcpv6 authentication
707 - investigate the usefulness of Confirm messages; i.e. are there any
708 situations where the link changes without any loss in carrier detection
710 - some servers don't do rapid commit without a filled in IA_NA, verify
716 - natively watch for dbus-*.service symlinks (PENDING)
717 - teach dbus to activate all services it finds in /etc/systemd/services/org-*.service
719 * fix alsa mixer restore to not print error when no config is stored
721 * make cryptsetup lower --iter-time
723 * patch kernel for xattr support in /dev, /proc/, /sys?
725 * kernel: add device_type = "fb", "fbcon" to class "graphics"
727 * drop accountsservice's StandardOutput=syslog and Type=dbus fields
729 * dbus upstream still refers to dbus.target and should not
731 * dbus: in fedora, make /var/lib/dbus/machine-id a symlink to /etc/machine-id
733 * add "# export SYSTEMD_PAGER=" to bash login
735 * /usr/bin/service should actually show the new command line
737 * 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=
739 * fedora: F20: go timer units all the way, leave cron.daily for cron
741 * neither pkexec nor sudo initialize environ[] from the PAM environment?
743 * fedora: update policy to declare access mode and ownership of unit files to root:root 0644, and add an rpmlint check for it
745 * register catalog database signature as file magic
747 * zsh shell completion: <command> <verb> -<TAB> should complete options, but currently
752 * look for close() vs. close_nointr() vs. close_nointr_nofail()
754 * check for strerror(r) instead of strerror(-r)
756 * Use PR_SET_PROCTITLE_AREA if it becomes available in the kernel
760 * set_put(), hashmap_put() return values check. i.e. == 0 does not free()!
762 * use secure_getenv() instead of getenv() where appropriate
764 * link up selected blog stories from man pages and unit files Documentation= fields
766 Scheduled for removal or fixing:
768 * xxxOverridable dependencies (probably: fix)
