3 * Should systemctl status \* work on all unit types, not just .service?
5 * Dangling symlinks of .automount unit files in .wants/ directories, set up
6 automount points even when the original .automount file did not exist
7 anymore. Only the .mount unit was still around.
9 * ExecStart with unicode characters fails in strv_split_extract:
12 Environment=ONE='one' "TWO='two two' too" THREE=
13 ExecStart=/bin/python3 -c 'import sys;print(sys.argv)' $ONE $TWO $THREE
15 * When systemctl --host is used, underlying ssh connection can remain open.
16 bus_close does not kill children?
20 * Fedora: add an rpmlint check that verifies that all unit files in the RPM are listed in %systemd_post macros.
22 * wiki: update journal format documentation for lz4 additions
26 * code cleanup: retire FOREACH_WORD_QUOTED, port to extract_first_word() loops instead
28 * replace manual readdir() loops with FOREACH_DIRENT or FOREACH_DIRENT_ALL
30 * Get rid of the last strerror() invocations in favour of %m and strerror_r()
32 * Rearrange tests so that the various test-xyz.c match a specific src/basic/xyz.c again
36 * when using UTF8, ellipsize with "…" rather than "...", so that we can show more contents before truncating
38 * machinectl remove --hidden + machinectl remove --all
40 * move specifier expansion from service_spawn() into load-fragment.c
42 * optionally, also require WATCHDOG=1 notifications during service start-up and shutdown
44 * resolved: maybe, after all, implement local listening for DNS packets on port
47 * delay activation of logind until somebody logs in, or when /dev/tty0 pulls it
48 in or lingering is on (so that containers don't bother with it until PAM is used). also exit-on-idle
50 * cache sd_event_now() result from before the first iteration...
52 * add systemctl stop --job-mode=triggering that follows TRIGGERED_BY deps and adds them to the same transaction
54 * Maybe add a way how users can "pin" units into memory, so that they are not subject to automatic GC?
56 * PID1: find a way how we can reload unit file configuration for
57 specific units only, without reloading the whole of systemd
59 * add an explicit parser for LimitNICE= and LimitRTPRIO= that verifies
60 the specified range and generates sane error messages for incorrect
61 specifications. Also, for LimitNICE= maybe introduce a syntax such
62 as "+5" or "-7" in order to make the limits more readable as they
63 are otherwise shifted by 20.
65 * do something about "/control" subcgroups in the unified cgroup hierarchy
67 * when we detect that there are waiting jobs but no running jobs, do something
69 * push CPUAffinity= also into the "cpuset" cgroup controller (only after the cpuset controller got ported to the unified hierarchy)
71 * add a new command "systemctl revert" or so, that removes all dropin
72 snippets in /run and /etc, and all unit files with counterparts in
73 /usr, and thus undoes what "systemctl set-property" and "systemctl
74 edit" create. Maybe even add "systemctl revert -a" to do this for
77 * PID 1 should send out sd_notify("WATCHDOG=1") messages (for usage in the --user mode, and when run via nspawn)
79 * consider throwing a warning if a service declares it wants to be "Before=" a .device unit.
81 * there's probably something wrong with having user mounts below /sys,
82 as we have for debugfs. for exmaple, src/core/mount.c handles mounts
83 prefixed with /sys generally special.
84 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-June/032962.html
86 * man: document that unless you use StandardError=null the shell >/dev/stderr won't work in shell scripts in services
88 * install: include generator dirs in unit file search paths
90 * rework C11 utf8.[ch] to use char32_t instead of uint32_t when referring
91 to unicode chars, to make things more expressive.
93 * fstab-generator: default to tmpfs-as-root if only usr= is specified on the kernel cmdline
95 * docs: bring http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/MyServiceCantGetRealtime up to date
97 * mounting and unmounting mount points manually with different source
98 devices will result in collected collected on all devices used.
99 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-April/030225.html
101 * add a job mode that will fail if a transaction would mean stopping
102 running units. Use this in timedated to manage the NTP service
104 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-April/030229.html
106 * Maybe add support for the equivalent of "ethtool advertise" to .link files?
107 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-April/030112.html
109 * The udev blkid built-in should expose a property that reflects
110 whether media was sensed in USB CF/SD card readers. This should then
111 be used to control SYSTEMD_READY=1/0 so that USB card readers aren't
112 picked up by systemd unless they contain a medium. This would mirror
113 the behaviour we already have for CD drives.
115 * networkd/udev: implement SR_IOV configuration in .link files:
116 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-January/027451.html
118 * Rework systemctl's GetAll property parsing to use the generic bus_map_all_properties() API
120 * implement a per-service firewall based on net_cls
122 * Port various tools to make use of verbs.[ch], where applicable
124 * hostnamectl: show root image uuid
126 * sysfs set api in libudev is not const
128 * Find a solution for SMACK capabilities stuff:
129 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-December/026188.html
131 * "systemctl preset-all" should probably order the unit files it
132 operates on lexicographically before starting to work, in order to
133 ensure deterministic behaviour if two unit files conflict (like DMs
136 * synchronize console access with BSD locks:
137 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-October/024582.html
139 * as soon as we have kdbus, and sender timestamps, revisit coalescing multiple parallel daemon reloads:
140 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-December/025862.html
142 * the install state probably shouldn't get confused by generated units, think dbus1/kdbus compat!
144 * in systemctl list-unit-files: show the install value the presets would suggest for a service in a third column
146 * figure out when we can use the coarse timers
148 * add "systemctl start -v foobar.service" that shows logs of a service
149 while the start command runs. This is non-trivial to do without
150 races though, since we should flush out all journal messages before
151 returning from the "systemctl stop".
153 * 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
155 * 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
157 * maybe add support for specifier expansion in user.conf, specifically DefaultEnvironment=
159 * introduce systemd-timesync-wait.service or so to sync on an NTP fix?
161 * systemd --user should issue sd_notify() upon reaching basic.target, not on becoming idle
163 * consider showing the unit names during boot up in the status output, not just the unit descriptions
165 * maybe allow timer units with an empty Units= setting, so that they
166 can be used for resuming the system but nothing else.
168 * what to do about udev db binary stability for apps? (raw access is not an option)
170 * maybe provide an API to allow migration of foreign PIDs into existing scopes.
172 * man: maybe use the word "inspect" rather than "introspect"?
174 * systemctl: if some operation fails, show log output?
177 - allow creation of units from scratch
178 - use equvalent of cat() to insert existing config as a comment, prepended with #.
179 Upon editor exit, lines with one # are removed, lines with two # are left with one #, etc.
181 * exponential backoff in timesyncd when we cannot reach a server
183 * timesyncd: add ugly bus calls to set NTP servers per-interface, for usage by NM
185 * extract_many_words() should probably be used by a lot of code that
186 currently uses FOREACH_WORD and friends. For example, most conf
187 parsing callbacks should use it.
189 * merge ~/.local/share and ~/.local/lib into one similar /usr/lib and /usr/share....
191 * systemd.show_status= should probably have a mode where only failed
194 * add systemd.abort_on_kill or some other such flag to send SIGABRT instead of SIGKILL
195 (throughout the codebase, not only PID1)
199 - service registration
200 - service/domain/types browsing
202 - DNS-SD service registration from socket units
203 - resolved should optionally register additional per-interface LLMNR
204 names, so that for the container case we can establish the same name
205 (maybe "host") for referencing the server, everywhere.
206 - enable DNSSEC by default
207 - allow clients to request DNSSEC for a single lookup even if DNSSEC is off (?)
209 * refcounting in sd-resolve is borked
211 * Add a new verb "systemctl top"
213 * add new gpt type for btrfs volumes
215 * support empty /etc boots nicely:
216 - nspawn/gpt-generator: introduce new gpt partition type for /usr
217 - fstab-generator: support systemd.volatile=yes|no|state on the kernel cmdline, too, similar to nspawn's --volatile=
219 * generator that automatically discovers btrfs subvolumes, identifies their purpose based on some xattr on them.
221 * a way for container managers to turn off getty starting via $container_headless= or so...
223 * figure out a nice way how we can let the admin know what child/sibling unit causes cgroup membership for a specific unit
225 * mount_cgroup_controllers(): symlinks need to get the label applied
227 * For timer units: add some mechanisms so that timer units that trigger immediately on boot do not have the services
228 they run added to the initial transaction and thus confuse Type=idle.
230 * 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)
232 * add bus api to query unit file's X fields.
234 * gpt-auto-generator:
235 - Support LUKS for root devices
236 - Define new partition type for encrypted swap? Support probed LUKS for encrypted swap?
237 - Make /home automount rather than mount?
239 * add generator that pulls in systemd-network from containers when
240 CAP_NET_ADMIN is set, more than the loopback device is defined, even
241 when it is otherwise off
243 * MessageQueueMessageSize= and RLimitFSIZE= (and suchlike) should use parse_iec_size().
245 * "busctl status" works only as root on dbus1, since we cannot read
248 * implement Distribute= in socket units to allow running multiple
249 service instances processing the listening socket, and open this up
252 * socket units: support creating sockets in different namespace,
253 opening it up for JoinsNamespaceOf=. This would require to fork off
254 a tiny process that joins the namespace and creates/binds the socket
255 and passes this back to PID1 via SCM_RIGHTS. This also could be used
256 to allow Chown/chgrp on sockets without requiring NSS in PID 1.
258 * New service property: maximum CPU and wallclock runtime for a service
260 * introduce bus call FreezeUnit(s, b), as well as "systemctl freeze
261 $UNIT" and "systemctl thaw $UNIT" as wrappers around this. The calls
262 should SIGSTOP all unit processes in a loop until all processes of
263 it are fully stopped. This can later be used for app management by
264 desktop UIs such as gnome-shell to freeze apps that are not visible
265 on screen, not unlike how job control works on the shell
268 - implement per-slice CPUFairScheduling=1 switch
269 - handle jointly mounted controllers correctly
270 - introduce high-level settings for RT budget, swappiness
271 - how to reset dynamically changed unit cgroup attributes sanely?
272 - when reloading configuration, apply new cgroup configuration
273 - when recursively showing the cgroup hierarchy, optionally also show
274 the hierarchies of child processes
277 - add field to transient units that indicate whether systemd or somebody else saves/restores its settings, for integration with libvirt
278 - ensure scope units may be started only a single time
280 * Automatically configure swap partition to use for hibernation by looking for largest swap partition on the root disk?
282 * when we detect low battery and no AC on boot, show pretty splash and refuse boot
284 * libsystemd-journal, libsystemd-login, libudev: add calls to easily attach these objects to sd-event event loops
286 * be more careful what we export on the bus as (usec_t) 0 and (usec_t) -1
288 * unify dispatch table in systemctl_main() and friends
290 * 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
292 * After coming back from hibernation reset hibernation swap partition using the /dev/snapshot ioctl APIs
294 * If we try to find a unit via a dangling symlink, generate a clean
295 error. Currently, we just ignore it and read the unit from the search
298 * refuse boot if /etc/os-release is missing or /etc/machine-id cannot be set up
300 * btrfs raid assembly: some .device jobs stay stuck in the queue
302 * make sure gdm does not use multi-user-x but the new default X configuration file, and then remove multi-user-x from systemd
304 * man: the documentation of Restart= currently is very misleading and suggests the tools from ExecStartPre= might get restarted.
306 * load .d/*.conf dropins for device units
308 * allow implementation of InaccessibleDirectories=/ plus
309 ReadOnlyDirectories=... for whitelisting files for a service.
313 - GetAllProperties() on a non-existing object does not result in a failure currently
314 - kdbus: process fd=-1 for incoming msgs
315 - port to sd-resolve for connecting to TCP dbus servers
316 - kdbus: maybe add controlling tty metadata fields
317 - 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
318 - when kdbus does not take our message without memfds, try again with memfds
319 - see if we can drop more message validation on the sending side
320 - add API to clone sd_bus_message objects
321 - make AddMatch calls on dbus1 transports async?
322 - kdbus: matches against source or destination pids for an "strace -p"-like feel. Problem: The PID info needs to be available in userspace too...
323 - longer term: priority inheritance
326 - NameLost/NameAcquired obsolete
329 - update systemd.special(7) to mention that dbus.socket is only about the compatibility socket now
330 - test bloom filter generation indexes
331 - kdbus: introduce a concept of "send-only" connections
332 - 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.
335 - allow multiple signal handlers per signal?
336 - document chaining of signal handler for SIGCHLD and child handlers
337 - define more intervals where we will shift wakeup intervals around in, 1h, 6h, 24h, ...
338 - generate a failure of a default event loop is executed out-of-thread
339 - maybe add support for inotify events
341 * investigate endianness issues of UUID vs. GUID
343 * dbus: when a unit failed to load (i.e. is in UNIT_ERROR state), we
344 should be able to safely try another attempt when the bus call LoadUnit() is invoked.
346 * add a pam module that passes the hdd passphrase into the PAM stack and then expires it, for usage by gdm auto-login.
348 * add a pam module that on password changes updates any LUKS slot where the password matches
350 * maybe add a generator that looks for "systemd.run=" on the kernel cmdline for container usercases...
352 * cgtop: make cgtop useful in a container
355 - add 'set -e' to scripts in test/
356 - make stuff in test/ work with separate output dir
358 * seems that when we follow symlinks to units we prefer the symlink
359 destination path over /etc and /usr. We should not do that. Instead
360 /etc should always override /run+/usr and also any symlink
363 * when isolating, try to figure out a way how we implicitly can order
364 all units we stop before the isolating unit...
366 * teach ConditionKernelCommandLine= globs or regexes (in order to match foobar={no,0,off})
368 * BootLoaderSpec: Clarify that the kernel has to be in $BOOT. Clarify
369 that the boot loader should be installed to the ESP. Define a way
370 how an installer can figure out whether a BLS compliant boot loader
373 * think about requeuing jobs when daemon-reload is issued? usecase:
374 the initrd issues a reload after fstab from the host is accessible
375 and we might want to requeue the mounts local-fs acquired through
378 * systemd-inhibit: make taking delay locks useful: support sending SIGINT or SIGTERM on PrepareForSleep()
380 * remove any syslog support from log.c -- we probably cannot do this before split-off udev is gone for good
382 * shutdown logging: store to EFI var, and store to USB stick?
384 * think about window-manager-run-as-user-service problem: exit 0 → activate shutdown.target; exit != 0 → restart service
386 * merge unit_kill_common() and unit_kill_context()
388 * introduce ExecCondition= in services
391 - honor language efi variables for default language selection (if there are any?)
392 - honor timezone efi variables for default timezone selection (if there are any?)
393 - change bootctl to be backed by systemd-bootd to control temporary and persistent default boot goal plus efi variables
395 * maybe do not install getty@tty1.service symlink in /etc but in /usr?
397 * print a nicer explanation if people use variable/specifier expansion in ExecStart= for the first word
399 * mount: turn dependency information from /proc/self/mountinfo into dependency information between systemd units.
402 - logind: optionally, ignore idle-hint logic for autosuspend, block suspend as long as a session is around
403 - When we update the kernel all kind of hibernation should be prohibited until shutdown/reboot
404 - logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
405 - Add pretty name for seats in logind
406 - logind: allow showing logout dialog from system?
407 - we should probably handle SIGTERM/SIGINT to not leave dot files around, just in case
408 - session scopes/user unit: add RequiresMountsFor for the home directory of the user
409 - add Suspend() bus calls which take timestamps to fix double suspend issues when somebody hits suspend and closes laptop quickly.
410 - if pam_systemd is invoked by su from a process that is outside of a
411 any session we should probably just become a NOP, since that's
412 usually not a real user session but just some system code that just
414 - logind: make the Suspend()/Hibernate() bus calls wait for the for
415 the job to be completed. before returning, so that clients can wait
416 for "systemctl suspend" to finish to know when the suspending is
418 - logind: when the power button is pressed short, just popup a
419 logout dialog. If it is pressed for 1s, do the usual
420 shutdown. Inspiration are Macs here.
421 - expose "Locked" property on logind sesison objects
422 - given that logind now lets PID 1 do all nasty work, we can
423 probably reduce the capability set it retains substantially.
424 (we need CAP_SYS_ADMIN for drmSetMaster(), so maybe not worth it)
425 - expose orientation sensors and tablet mode through logind
426 - maybe allow configuration of the StopTimeout for session scopes
427 - rename session scope so that it includes the UID. THat way
428 the session scope can be arranged freely in slices and we don't have
429 make assumptions about their slice anymore.
430 - follow PropertiesChanged state more closely, to deal with quick logouts and
433 * exec: when deinitializating a tty device fix the perms and group, too, not only when initializing. Set access mode/gid to 0620/tty.
435 * service: watchdog logic: for testing purposes allow ping, but do not require pong
438 - consider introducing implicit _TTY= + _PPID= + _EUID= + _EGID= + _FSUID= + _FSGID= fields
439 - import and delete pstore filesystem content at startup
440 - journald: also get thread ID from client, plus thread name
441 - journal: when waiting for journal additions in the client always sleep at least 1s or so, in order to minimize wakeups
442 - add API to close/reopen/get fd for journal client fd in libsystemd-journal.
443 - fallback to /dev/log based logging in libsystemd-journal, if we cannot log natively?
444 - declare the local journal protocol stable in the wiki interface chart
445 - sd-journal: speed up sd_journal_get_data() with transparent hash table in bg
446 - journald: when dropping msgs due to ratelimit make sure to write
447 "dropped %u messages" not only when we are about to print the next
448 message that works, but alraedy after a short tiemout
449 - check if we can make journalctl by default use --follow mode inside of less if called without args?
450 - maybe add API to send pairs of iovecs via sd_journal_send
451 - journal: when writing journal auto-rotate if time jumps backwards
452 - journal: add a setgid "systemd-journal" utility to invoke from libsystemd-journal, which passes fds via STDOUT and does PK access
453 - journactl: support negative filtering, i.e. FOOBAR!="waldo",
454 and !FOOBAR for events without FOOBAR.
455 - journal: store timestamp of journal_file_set_offline() int he header,
456 so it is possible to display when the file was last synced.
457 - 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.
458 - journal: find a way to allow dropping history early, based on priority, other rules
459 - journal: When used on NFS, check payload hashes
460 - journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
461 - refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
462 - journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
463 - journal: deal nicely with byte-by-byte copied files, especially regards header
464 - journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the components would fit
465 - Replace utmp, wtmp, btmp, and lastlog completely with journal
466 - journalctl: instead --after-cursor= maybe have a --cursor=XYZ+1 syntax?
467 - when a kernel driver logs in a tight loop, we should ratelimit that too.
468 - journald: optionally, log debug messages to /run but everything else to /var
469 - journald: when we drop syslog messages because the syslog socket is
470 full, make sure to write how many messages are lost as first thing
471 to syslog when it works again.
472 - journald: make sure ratelimit is actually really per-service with the new cgroup changes
473 - change systemd-journal-flush into a service that stays around during
474 boot, and causes the journal to be moved back to /run on shutdown,
475 so that we do not keep /var busy. This needs to happen synchronously,
476 hence doing this via signals is not going to work.
477 - optionally support running journald from the command line for testing purposes in external projects
478 - journald: allow per-priority and per-service retention times when rotating/vacuuming
479 - journald: make use of uid-range.h to managed uid ranges to split
481 - journalctl: add the ability to look for the most recent process of a binary. journalctl /usr/bin/X11 --pid=-1 or so...
482 - improve journalctl performance by loading journal files
483 lazily. Encode just enough information in the file name, so that we
484 do not have to open it to know that it is not interesting for us, for
485 the most common operations.
486 - journal-or-kmsg is currently broken? See reverted
487 commit 4a01181e460686d8b4a543b1dfa7f77c9e3c5ab8.
488 - man: document that corrupted journal files is nothing to act on
489 - rework journald sigbus stuff to use mutex
490 - Set RLIMIT_NPROC for systemd-journal-xyz, and all other of our
491 services that run under their own user ids, and use User= (but only
492 in a world where userns is ubiquitous since otherwise we cannot
493 invoke those daemons on the host AND in a container anymore). Also,
494 if LimitNPROC= is used without User= we should warn and refuse
496 - journalctl --verify: don't show files that are currently being
497 written to as FAIL, but instead show that their are being written to.
498 - add journalctl -H that talks via ssh to a remote peer and passes through
500 - change journalctl -M to acquire fd to journal directory via machined, and
501 then operate on that via openat() instead of absolute paths
502 - add a version of --merge which also merges /var/log/journal/remote
503 - log accumulated resource usage after each service invocation
504 - journalctl: -m should access container journals directly by enumerating
505 them via machined, and also watch containers coming and going.
506 Benefit: nspawn --ephemeral would start working nicely with the journal.
507 - assign MESSAGE_ID to log messages about failed services
510 - document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fields in
511 [Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
512 - man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
513 - document the exit codes when services fail before they are exec()ed
514 - document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
515 - document in wiki how to map ical recurrence events to systemd timer unit calendar specifications
516 - add a man page containing packaging guidelines and recommending usage of things like Documentation=, PrivateTmp=, PrivateNetwork= and ReadOnlyDirectories=/etc /usr.
517 - document systemd-journal-flush.service properly
518 - documentation: recommend to connect the timer units of a service to the service via Also= in [Install]
519 - man: document the very specific env the shutdown drop-in tools live in
520 - man: add more examples to man pages
521 - man: maybe sort directives in man pages, and take sections from --help and apply them to man too
524 - systemctl list-jobs - show dependencies
525 - add systemctl switch to dump transaction without executing it
526 - Add a verbose mode to "systemctl start" and friends that explains what is being done or not done
527 - "systemctl disable" on a static unit prints no message and does
528 nothing. "systemctl enable" does nothing, and gives a bad message
529 about it. Should fix both to print nice actionable messages.
530 - print nice message from systemctl --failed if there are no entries shown, and hook that into ExecStartPre of rescue.service/emergency.service
531 - add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
532 - systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into does not exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
533 - systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
534 - better error message if you run systemctl without systemd running
535 - systemctl status output should should include list of triggering units and their status
538 - "systemctl mask" should find all names by which a unit is accessible
539 (i.e. by scanning for symlinks to it) and link them all to /dev/null
540 - systemctl list-unit-files should list generated files (and probably with a new state "generated" for them, or so)
543 - timer units should get the ability to trigger when:
544 o CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (TFD_TIMER_CANCEL_ON_SET)
546 - Support 2012-02~4 as syntax for specifying the fourth to last day of the month.
547 - calendarspec: support value ranges with ".." notation. Example: 2013-4..8-1
548 - Modulate timer frequency based on battery state
550 * add libsystemd-password or so to query passwords during boot using the password agent logic
552 * clean up date formatting and parsing so that all absolute/relative timestamps we format can also be parsed
554 * on shutdown: move utmp, wall, audit logic all into PID 1 (or logind?), get rid of systemd-update-utmp-runlevel
556 * make repeated alt-ctrl-del presses printing a dump, or even force a reboot without
557 waiting for the timeout
559 * hostnamed: before returning information from /etc/machine-info.conf check the modification data and reread. Similar for localed, ...
561 * currently x-systemd.timeout is lost in the initrd, since crypttab is copied into dracut, but fstab is not
564 - to allow "linking" of nspawn containers, extend --network-bridge= so
565 that it can dynamically create bridge interfaces that are refcounted
566 by the containers on them. For each group of containers to link together
567 - refuses to boot containers without /etc/machine-id (OK?), and with empty
568 /etc/machine-id (not OK).
569 - nspawn -x should support ephemeral instances of gpt images
570 - emulate /dev/kmsg using CUSE and turn off the syslog syscall
571 with seccomp. That should provide us with a useful log buffer that
572 systemd can log to during early boot, and disconnect container logs
573 from the kernel's logs.
574 - as soon as networkd has a bus interface, hook up --network-interface=,
575 --network-bridge= with networkd, to trigger netdev creation should an
577 - don't copy /etc/resolv.conf from host into container unless we are in
579 - a nice way to boot up without machine id set, so that it is set at boot
580 automatically for supporting --ephemeral. Maybe hash the host machine id
581 together with the machine name to generate the machine id for the container
582 - fix logic always print a final newline on output.
583 https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/272#issuecomment-113153176
584 - should optionally support receiving WATCHDOG=1 messages from its payload
586 - should send out sd_notify("WATCHDOG=1") messages
587 - optionally automatically add FORWARD rules to iptables whenever nspawn is
588 running, remove them when shut down.
589 - add a logic for cleaning up read-only, hidden container images in
590 /var/lib/machines that are not ancestors of any non-hidden containers
591 - Improve error message when --bind= is used on a non-existing source
593 - maybe make copying of /etc/resolv.conf optional, and skip it if --read-only
597 - "machinectl list" should probably show columns for OS version and IP
599 - add an API so that libvirt-lxc can inform us about network interfaces being
600 removed or added to an existing machine
601 - "machinectl migrate" or similar to copy a container from or to a
602 difference host, via ssh
603 - introduce systemd-nspawn-ephemeral@.service, and hook it into
604 "machinectl start" with a new --ephemeral switch
605 - "machinectl status" should also show internal logs of the container in
607 - "machinectl list-images" should show os-release data, as well as
608 machine-info data (including deployment level)
609 - "machinectl history"
611 - "machinectl commit" that takes a writable snapshot of a tree, invokes a
612 shell in it, and marks it read-only after use
615 - generate a nice warning if mkfs.btrfs is missing
618 - cryptsetup-generator: allow specification of passwords in crypttab itself
619 - move cryptsetup key caching into kernel keyctl?
620 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54982
621 - support rd.luks.allow-discards= kernel cmdline params in cryptsetup generator
623 * hw watchdog: optionally try to use the preset watchdog timeout instead of always overriding it
624 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54712
626 * create /sbin/init symlinks from the build system
628 * MountFlags=shared acts as MountFlags=slave right now.
630 * properly handle loop back mounts via fstab, especially regards to fsck/passno
632 * initialize the hostname from the fs label of /, if /etc/hostname does not exist?
634 * rename "userspace" to "core-os"
639 - add trigger --subsystem-match=usb/usb_device device
640 - reimport udev db after MOVE events for devices without dev_t
642 * 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
644 * There's currently no way to cancel fsck (used to be possible via C-c or c on the console)
646 * add option to sockets to avoid activation. Instead just drop packets/connections, see http://cyberelk.net/tim/2012/02/15/portreserve-systemd-solution/
649 - save coredump in Windows/Mozilla minidump format
650 - move PID 1 segfaults to /var/lib/systemd/coredump?
652 * support crash reporting operation modes (https://live.gnome.org/GnomeOS/Design/Whiteboards/ProblemReporting)
654 * default to actual 32-bit PIDs, via /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max
656 * be able to specify a forced restart of service A where service B depends on, in case B
657 needs to be auto-respawned?
660 - apply "x" on "D" too (see patch from William Douglas)
662 - instead of ignoring unknown fields, reject them.
663 - creating new directories/subvolumes/fifos/device nodes
664 should not follow symlinks. None of the other adjustment or creation
665 calls follow symlinks.
667 * make sure systemd-ask-password-wall does not shutdown systemd-ask-password-console too early
669 * verify that the AF_UNIX sockets of a service in the fs still exist
670 when we start a service in order to avoid confusion when a user
671 assumes starting a service is enough to make it accessible
673 * Make it possible to set the keymap independently from the font on
674 the kernel cmdline. Right now setting one resets also the other.
676 * and a dbus call to generate target from current state
678 * write blog stories about:
679 - hwdb: what belongs into it, lsusb
680 - enabling dbus services
682 - how to make changes to sysctl and sysfs attributes
684 - how to pass throw-away units to systemd, or dynamically change properties of existing units
685 - testing with Harald's awesome test kit
687 - how to develop against journal browsing APIs
688 - the journal HTTP iface
689 - non-cgroup resource management
690 - dynamic resource management with cgroups
691 - refreshed, longer missions statement
692 - calendar time events
693 - init=/bin/sh vs. "emergency" mode, vs. "rescue" mode, vs. "multi-user" mode, vs. "graphical" mode, and the debug shell
694 - how to create your own target
695 - instantiated apache, dovecot and so on
696 - hooking a script into various stages of shutdown/rearly booot
698 * investigate whether the gnome pty helper should be moved into systemd, to provide cgroup support.
700 * dot output for --test showing the 'initial transaction'
702 * fingerprint.target, wireless.target, gps.target, netdevice.target
705 - .timer units should optionally support CLOCK_BOOTTIME in addition to CLOCK_MONOTONIC
706 - When logging about multiple units (stopping BoundTo units, conflicts, etc.),
707 log both units as UNIT=, so that journalctl -u triggers on both.
708 - generate better errors when people try to set transient properties
709 that are not supported...
710 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-February/028076.html
711 - maybe introduce WantsMountsFor=? Usecase:
712 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-January/027729.html
713 - recreate systemd's D-Bus private socket file on SIGUSR2
714 - GC unreferenced jobs (such as .device jobs)
715 - move PAM code into its own binary
716 - when we automatically restart a service, ensure we restart its rdeps, too.
717 - for services: do not set $HOME in services unless requested
718 - hide PAM options in fragment parser when compile time disabled
719 - Support --test based on current system state
720 - 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().
721 - after deserializing sockets in socket.c we should reapply sockopts and things
722 - drop PID 1 reloading, only do reexecing (difficult: Reload()
723 currently is properly synchronous, Reexec() is weird, because we
724 cannot delay the response properly until we are back, so instead of
725 being properly synchronous we just keep open the fd and close it
726 when done. That means clients do not get a successful method reply,
727 but much rather a disconnect on success.
728 - when breaking cycles drop sysv services first, then services from /run, then from /etc, then from /usr
729 - when a bus name of a service disappears from the bus make sure to queue further activation requests
732 - allow port=0 in .socket units
733 - maybe introduce ExecRestartPre=
734 - add ReloadSignal= for configuring a reload signal to use
735 - implement Register= switch in .socket units to enable registration
736 in Avahi, RPC and other socket registration services.
737 - allow Type=simple with PIDFile=
738 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=723942
739 - allow writing multiple conditions in unit files on one line
740 - load-fragment: when loading a unit file via a chain of symlinks
741 verify that it is not masked via any of the names traversed.
742 - introduce Type=pid-file
743 - ExecOnFailure=/usr/bin/foo
744 - introduce mix of BindTo and Requisite
745 - add a concept of RemainAfterExit= to scope units
746 - Set NoNewPrivileges= on all of our own services, where that makes sense
747 - Allow multiple ExecStart= for all Type= settings, so that we can cover rescue.service nicely
748 - consider adding RuntimeDirectoryUser= + RuntimeDirectoryGroup=
751 - figure out a simple way to wait for journal events in a way that
753 - add documentation to systemd.daemon
756 - Make sure ID_PATH is always exported and complete for
757 network devices where possible, so we can safely rely
759 - check MTUBytes parsing (expecting size_t but we are using unsigned)
762 - add support for more attribute types
763 - inbuilt piping support (essentially degenerate async)? see loopback-setup.c and other places
766 - add more keys to [Route] and [Address] sections
767 - add support for more DHCPv4 options (and, longer term, other kinds of dynamic config)
768 - add proper initrd support (in particular generate .network/.link files based on /proc/cmdline)
769 - add reduced [Link] support to .network files
770 - add Scope= parsing option for [Network]
771 - properly handle routerless dhcp leases
772 - add more attribute support for SIT tunnel
773 - work with non-Ethernet devices
774 - add support for more bond options
775 - dhcp: do we allow configuring dhcp routes on interfaces that are not the one we got the dhcp info from?
776 - the DHCP lease data (such as NTP/DNS) is still made available when
777 a carrier is lost on a link. It should be removed instantly.
778 - expose in the API the following bits:
779 - option 15, domain name and/or option 119, search list
780 - option 12, host name and/or option 81, fqdn
781 - option 123, 144, geolocation
782 - option 252, configure http proxy (PAC/wpad)
783 - provide a way to define a per-network interface default metric value
784 for all routes to it. possibly a second default for DHCP routes.
785 - allow Name= to be specified repeatedly in the [Match] section. Maybe also
786 support Name=foo*|bar*|baz ?
787 - duplicate address check for static IPs (like ARPCHECK in network-scripts)
788 - allow DUID/IAID to be customized, see issue #394.
789 - support configuration option for TSO (tcp segmentation offload)
790 - whenever uplink info changes, make DHCP server send out FORCERENEW
792 * networkd-wait-online:
793 - make operstates to wait for configurable?
796 - figure out how much we can increase Maximum Message Size
797 - support RFC4702 (pass FQDN)
800 - add functions to set previously stored IPv6 addresses on startup and get
801 them at shutdown; store them in client->ia_na
802 - write more test cases
803 - implement reconfigure support, see 5.3., 15.11. and 22.20.
804 - implement support for temporary adressess (IA_TA)
805 - implement dhcpv6 authentication
806 - investigate the usefulness of Confirm messages; i.e. are there any
807 situations where the link changes without any loss in carrier detection
809 - some servers don't do rapid commit without a filled in IA_NA, verify
815 - natively watch for dbus-*.service symlinks (PENDING)
816 - teach dbus to activate all services it finds in /etc/systemd/services/org-*.service
818 * fix alsa mixer restore to not print error when no config is stored
820 * make cryptsetup lower --iter-time
822 * patch kernel for xattr support in /dev, /proc/, /sys?
824 * kernel: add device_type = "fb", "fbcon" to class "graphics"
826 * drop accountsservice's StandardOutput=syslog and Type=dbus fields
828 * dbus: in fedora, make /var/lib/dbus/machine-id a symlink to /etc/machine-id
830 * /usr/bin/service should actually show the new command line
832 * 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=
834 * fedora: F20: go timer units all the way, leave cron.daily for cron
836 * neither pkexec nor sudo initialize environ[] from the PAM environment?
838 * fedora: update policy to declare access mode and ownership of unit files to root:root 0644, and add an rpmlint check for it
840 * register catalog database signature as file magic
842 * zsh shell completion:
843 - <command> <verb> -<TAB> should complete options, but currently does not
844 - systemctl add-wants,add-requires
849 * look for close() vs. close_nointr() vs. close_nointr_nofail()
851 * check for strerror(r) instead of strerror(-r)
853 * Use PR_SET_PROCTITLE_AREA if it becomes available in the kernel
857 * set_put(), hashmap_put() return values check. i.e. == 0 does not free()!
859 * use secure_getenv() instead of getenv() where appropriate
861 * link up selected blog stories from man pages and unit files Documentation= fields
