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 * when creating transient services, support passing in a tty fd to use for stdin/stdout
31 * add a concept of RemainAfterExit= to scope units
33 * add a new command "systemctl revert" or so, that removes all dropin
34 snippets in /run and /etc, and all unit files with counterparts in
35 /usr, and thus undoes what "systemctl set-property" and "systemctl
36 edit" create. Maybe even add "systemctl revert -a" to do this for
39 * sd-event: maybe add support for inotify events
41 * PID 1 should send out sd_notify("WATCHDOG=1") messages (for usage in the --user mode, and when run via nspawn)
43 * nspawn should send out sd_notify("WATCHDOG=1") messages
45 * nspawn should optionally support receiving WATCHDOG=1 messages from its payload PID 1...
47 * consider throwing a warning if a service declares it wants to be "Before=" a .device unit.
49 * "systemctl edit" should know a mode to create a new unit file
51 * there's probably something wrong with having user mounts below /sys,
52 as we have for debugfs. for exmaple, src/core/mount.c handles mounts
53 prefixed with /sys generally special.
54 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-June/032962.html
56 * Add PassEnvironment= setting to service units, to import select env vars from PID 1 into the service env block
58 * nspawn: fix logic always print a final newline on output.
59 https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/272#issuecomment-113153176
61 * make nspawn's --network-veth switch more powerful:
62 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-June/033121.html
64 * man: document that unless you use StandardError=null the shell >/dev/stderr won't work in shell scripts in services
66 * man: clarify that "machinectl show" shows different information than "machinectl status" (no cgroup tree, no IP addresses, ...)
68 * "systemctl daemon-reload" should result in /etc/systemd/system.conf being reloaded by systemd
70 * install: include generator dirs in unit file search paths
72 * logind: follow PropertiesChanged state more closely, to deal with quick logouts and relogins
74 * invent a better systemd-run scheme for naming scopes, that works with remoting
76 * add journalctl -H that talks via ssh to a remote peer and passes through binary logs data
78 * change journalctl -M to acquire fd to journal directory via machined, and then operate on that via openat() instead of absolute paths
80 * add a version of --merge which also merges /var/log/journal/remote
82 * log accumulated resource usage after each service invocation
84 * 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
86 * logind: rename session scope so that it includes the UID. THat way
87 the session scope can be arranged freely in slices and we don't have
88 make assumptions about their slice anymore.
90 * 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.
92 * nspawn: don't copy /etc/resolv.conf from host into container unless we are in shared-network mode
94 * nspawn: optionally automatically add FORWARD rules to iptables whenever nspawn is running, remove them when shut down.
96 * importd: generate a nice warning if mkfs.btrfs is missing
98 * 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
100 * nspawn: Improve error message when --bind= is used on a non-existing source directory
102 * nspawn: maybe make copying of /etc/resolv.conf optional, and skip it if --read-only is used
104 * man: document how update dkr images works with machinectl
105 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-February/028630.html
107 * 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
109 * rework C11 utf8.[ch] to use char32_t instead of uint32_t when referring
110 to unicode chars, to make things more expressive.
112 * "machinectl migrate" or similar to copy a container from or to a
113 difference host, via ssh
115 * tmpfiles: creating new directories/subvolumes/fifos/device nodes
116 should not follow symlinks. None of the other adjustment or creation
117 calls follow symlinks.
119 * fstab-generator: default to tmpfs-as-root if only usr= is specified on the kernel cmdline
121 * docs: bring http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/MyServiceCantGetRealtime up to date
123 * mounting and unmounting mount points manually with different source
124 devices will result in collected collected on all devices used.
125 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-April/030225.html
127 * add a job mode that will fail if a transaction would mean stopping
128 running units. Use this in timedated to manage the NTP service
130 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-April/030229.html
132 * Maybe add support for the equivalent of "ethtool advertise" to .link files?
133 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-April/030112.html
135 * .timer units should optionally support CLOCK_BOOTTIME in addition to CLOCK_MONOTONIC
137 * create a btrfs qgroup for /var/lib/machines, and add all container
138 subvolumes we create to it.
140 * When logging about multiple units (stopping BoundTo units, conflicts, etc.),
141 log both units as UNIT=, so that journalctl -u triggers on both.
143 * to allow "linking" of nspawn containers, extend --network-bridge= so
144 that it can dynamically create bridge interfaces that are refcounted
145 by the containers on them. For each group of containers to link together
147 * journalctl --verify: don't show files that are currently being
148 written to as FAIL, but instead show that their are being written
151 * assign MESSAGE_ID to log messages about failed services
153 * coredump: make the handler check /proc/$PID/rlimits for RLIMIT_CORE,
154 and supress coredump if turned off. Then change RLIMIT_CORE to
155 infinity by default for all services. This then allows per-service
156 control of coredumping.
158 * generate better errors when people try to set transient properties
159 that are not supported...
160 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-February/028076.html
162 * maybe introduce WantsMountsFor=? Usecase:
163 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-January/027729.html
165 * The udev blkid built-in should expose a property that reflects
166 whether media was sensed in USB CF/SD card readers. This should then
167 be used to control SYSTEMD_READY=1/0 so that USB card readers aren't
168 picked up by systemd unless they contain a medium. This would mirror
169 the behaviour we already have for CD drives.
171 * nspawn: emulate /dev/kmsg using CUSE and turn off the syslog syscall
172 with seccomp. That should provide us with a useful log buffer that
173 systemd can log to during early boot, and disconnect container logs
174 from the kernel's logs.
176 * networkd/udev: implement SR_IOV configuration in .link files:
177 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-January/027451.html
179 * When RLIMIT_NPROC is set from a unit file it currently always is set
180 for root, not for the user set in User=, which makes it
181 useless. After fixing this, set RLIMIT_NPROC for
182 systemd-journal-xyz, and all other of our services that run under
183 their own user ids, and use User= (but only in a world where userns
184 is ubiquitous since otherwise we cannot invoke those daemons on the
185 host AND in a container anymore). Also, if LimitNPROC= is used
186 without User= we should warn and refuse operation.
188 * logind: maybe allow configuration of the StopTimeout for session scopes
190 * Set NoNewPrivileges= on all of our own services, where that makes sense
192 * Rework systemctl's GetAll property parsing to use the generic bus_map_all_properties() API
194 * rework journald sigbus stuff to use mutex
196 * import-dkr: support tarsum checksum verification, if it becomes reality one day...
198 * import-dkr: convert json bits to nspawn configuration
200 * 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
202 * introduce systemd-nspawn-ephemeral@.service, and hook it into "machinectl start" with a new --ephemeral switch
204 * "machinectl status" should also show internal logs of the container in question
206 * "machinectl list-images" should show os-release data, as well as machine-info data (including deployment level)
208 * Port various tools to make use of verbs.[ch], where applicable
210 * "machinectl history"
214 * "machinectl commit" that takes a writable snapshot of a tree, invokes a shell in it, and marks it read-only after use
216 * systemd-nspawn -x should support ephemeral instances of gpt images
218 * hostnamectl: show root image uuid
220 * sysfs set api in libudev is not const
222 * Find a solution for SMACK capabilities stuff:
223 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-December/026188.html
225 * port libmount hookup to use API's own inotify interface, as soon as that is table in libmount
227 * "systemctl preset-all" should probably order the unit files it
228 operates on lexicographically before starting to work, in order to
229 ensure deterministic behaviour if two unit files conflict (like DMs
232 * resolved should optionally register additional per-interface LLMNR
233 names, so that for the container case we can establish the same name
234 (maybe "host") for referencing the server, everywhere.
236 * systemd-journal-upload (or a new, related tool): allow pushing out
237 journal messages onto the network in BSD syslog protocol,
238 continuously. Default to some link-local IP mcast group, to make this
239 useful as a one-stop debugging tool.
241 * synchronize console access with BSD locks:
242 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-October/024582.html
244 * as soon as we have kdbus, and sender timestamps, revisit coalescing multiple parallel daemon reloads:
245 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-December/025862.html
247 * the install state probably shouldn't get confused by generated units, think dbus1/kdbus compat!
249 * in systemctl list-unit-files: show the install value the presets would suggest for a service in a third column
251 * figure out when we can use the coarse timers
253 * add "systemctl start -v foobar.service" that shows logs of a service
254 while the start command runs. This is non-trivial to do without
255 races though, since we should flush out all journal messages before
256 returning from the "systemctl stop".
258 * 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
260 * timesyncd + resolved: add ugly bus calls to set NTP and DNS servers per-interface, for usage by NM
262 * 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
264 * machined: add an API so that libvirt-lxc can inform us about network interfaces being removed or added to an existing machine
266 * maybe add support for specifier expansion in user.conf, specifically DefaultEnvironment=
268 * code cleanup: retire FOREACH_WORD_QUOTED, port to extract_first_word() loops instead
270 * introduce systemd-timesync-wait.service or so to sync on an NTP fix?
272 * systemd --user should issue sd_notify() upon reaching basic.target, not on becoming idle
274 * consider showing the unit names during boot up in the status output, not just the unit descriptions
276 * dhcp: do we allow configuring dhcp routes on interfaces that are not the one we got the dhcp info from?
278 * maybe allow timer units with an empty Units= setting, so that they
279 can be used for resuming the system but nothing else.
281 * what to do about udev db binary stability for apps? (raw access is not an option)
283 * maybe provide an API to allow migration of foreign PIDs into existing scopes.
285 * maybe support a new very "soft" reboot mode, that simply kills all processes, disassembles everything, flushes /run and sysvipc, and then reexecs systemd again
287 * man: document that corrupted journal files is nothing to act on
289 * man: maybe use the word "inspect" rather than "introspect"?
291 * "machinectl list" should probably show columns for OS version and IP addresses
293 * systemctl: if some operation fails, show log output?
296 - allow creation of units from scratch
297 - use equvalent of cat() to insert existing config as a comment, prepended with #.
298 Upon editor exit, lines with one # are removed, lines with two # are left with one #, etc.
300 * refcounting in sd-resolve is borked
302 * exponential backoff in timesyncd and resolved when we cannot reach a server
304 * extract_many_words() should probably be used by a lot of code that
305 currently uses FOREACH_WORD and friends. For example, most conf
306 parsing callbacks should use it.
308 * merge ~/.local/share and ~/.local/lib into one similar /usr/lib and /usr/share....
310 * systemd.show_status= should probably have a mode where only failed
313 * add systemd.abort_on_kill or some other such flag to send SIGABRT instead of SIGKILL
314 (throughout the codebase, not only PID1)
317 - add LLDP client side support
318 - the DHCP lease data (such as NTP/DNS) is still made available when
319 a carrier is lost on a link. It should be removed instantly.
320 - expose in the API the following bits:
321 - option 15, domain name and/or option 119, search list
322 - option 12, host name and/or option 81, fqdn
323 - option 123, 144, geolocation
324 - option 252, configure http proxy (PAC/wpad)
325 - provide a way to define a per-network interface default metric value
326 for all routes to it. possibly a second default for DHCP routes.
327 - allow Name= to be specified repeatedly in the [Match] section. Maybe also
328 support Name=foo*|bar*|baz ?
329 - duplicate address check for static IPs (like ARPCHECK in network-scripts)
330 - allow DUID/IAID to be customized, see issue #394.
331 - support configuration option for TSO (tcp segmentation offload)
332 - networkd: whenever uplink info changes, make DHCP server send out FORCERENEW
335 - put networkd events and rtnl events at a higher priority, so that
336 we always process them before we process client requests
338 - add display of private key types (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4034#appendix-A.1.1)?
343 - DNS-SD service registration from socket units
345 - dname: Not necessary for plain DNS as synthesized cname is handed out instead if we do not
346 announce dname support. However, for DNSSEC it is necessary as the synthesized cname
350 * Allow multiple ExecStart= for all Type= settings, so that we can cover rescue.service nicely
352 * Add a new verb "systemctl top"
354 * add new gpt type for btrfs volumes
356 * support empty /etc boots nicely:
357 - nspawn/gpt-generator: introduce new gpt partition type for /usr
358 - fstab-generator: support systemd.volatile=yes|no|state on the kernel cmdline, too, similar to nspawn's --volatile=
360 * generator that automatically discovers btrfs subvolumes, identifies their purpose based on some xattr on them.
362 * timer units: actually add extra delays to timer units with high AccuracySec values, don't start them already when we are awake...
364 * a way for container managers to turn off getty starting via $container_headless= or so...
366 * figure out a nice way how we can let the admin know what child/sibling unit causes cgroup membership for a specific unit
368 * mount_cgroup_controllers(): symlinks need to get the label applied
370 * For timer units: add some mechanisms so that timer units that trigger immediately on boot do not have the services
371 they run added to the initial transaction and thus confuse Type=idle.
373 * 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)
375 * sd-event: generate a failure of a default event loop is executed out-of-thread
377 * add bus api to query unit file's X fields.
379 * consider adding RuntimeDirectoryUser= + RuntimeDirectoryGroup=
381 * sd-event: define more intervals where we will shift wakeup intervals around in, 1h, 6h, 24h, ...
383 * gpt-auto-generator:
384 - Support LUKS for root devices
385 - Define new partition type for encrypted swap? Support probed LUKS for encrypted swap?
386 - Make /home automount rather than mount?
388 * add generator that pulls in systemd-network from containers when
389 CAP_NET_ADMIN is set, more than the loopback device is defined, even
390 when it is otherwise off
392 * MessageQueueMessageSize= and RLimitFSIZE= (and suchlike) should use parse_iec_size().
394 * "busctl status" works only as root on dbus1, since we cannot read
397 * implement Distribute= in socket units to allow running multiple
398 service instances processing the listening socket, and open this up
401 * socket units: support creating sockets in different namespace,
402 opening it up for JoinsNamespaceOf=. This would require to fork off
403 a tiny process that joins the namespace and creates/binds the socket
404 and passes this back to PID1 via SCM_RIGHTS. This also could be used
405 to allow Chown/chgrp on sockets without requiring NSS in PID 1.
407 * New service property: maximum CPU and wallclock runtime for a service
409 * introduce bus call FreezeUnit(s, b), as well as "systemctl freeze
410 $UNIT" and "systemctl thaw $UNIT" as wrappers around this. The calls
411 should SIGSTOP all unit processes in a loop until all processes of
412 it are fully stopped. This can later be used for app management by
413 desktop UIs such as gnome-shell to freeze apps that are not visible
414 on screen, not unlike how job control works on the shell
417 - implement per-slice CPUFairScheduling=1 switch
418 - handle jointly mounted controllers correctly
419 - introduce high-level settings for RT budget, swappiness
420 - how to reset dynamically changed unit cgroup attributes sanely?
421 - when reloading configuration, apply new cgroup configuration
422 - when recursively showing the cgroup hierarchy, optionally also show
423 the hierarchies of child processes
426 - add field to transient units that indicate whether systemd or somebody else saves/restores its settings, for integration with libvirt
427 - ensure scope units may be started only a single time
429 * Automatically configure swap partition to use for hibernation by looking for largest swap partition on the root disk?
431 * when we detect low battery and no AC on boot, show pretty splash and refuse boot
433 * machined, localed: when we try to kill an empty cgroup, generate an ESRCH error over the bus
435 * libsystemd-journal, libsystemd-login, libudev: add calls to easily attach these objects to sd-event event loops
437 * be more careful what we export on the bus as (usec_t) 0 and (usec_t) -1
439 * unify dispatch table in systemctl_main() and friends
441 * 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
443 * After coming back from hibernation reset hibernation swap partition using the /dev/snapshot ioctl APIs
445 * If we try to find a unit via a dangling symlink, generate a clean
446 error. Currently, we just ignore it and read the unit from the search
449 * refuse boot if /etc/os-release is missing or /etc/machine-id cannot be set up
451 * btrfs raid assembly: some .device jobs stay stuck in the queue
453 * make sure gdm does not use multi-user-x but the new default X configuration file, and then remove multi-user-x from systemd
455 * man: the documentation of Restart= currently is very misleading and suggests the tools from ExecStartPre= might get restarted.
457 * load .d/*.conf dropins for device units
459 * allow implementation of InaccessibleDirectories=/ plus
460 ReadOnlyDirectories=... for whitelisting files for a service.
464 - GetAllProperties() on a non-existing object does not result in a failure currently
465 - kdbus: process fd=-1 for incoming msgs
466 - port to sd-resolve for connecting to TCP dbus servers
467 - kdbus: maybe add controlling tty metadata fields
468 - 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
469 - when kdbus does not take our message without memfds, try again with memfds
470 - see if we can drop more message validation on the sending side
471 - add API to clone sd_bus_message objects
472 - make AddMatch calls on dbus1 transports async?
473 - kdbus: matches against source or destination pids for an "strace -p"-like feel. Problem: The PID info needs to be available in userspace too...
474 - longer term: priority inheritance
477 - NameLost/NameAcquired obsolete
480 - update systemd.special(7) to mention that dbus.socket is only about the compatibility socket now
481 - test bloom filter generation indexes
482 - bus-proxy: when passing messages from kdbus, make sure we properly
483 handle the case where a large number of fds is appended that we
484 cannot pass into sendmsg() of the AF_UNIX sokcet (which only accepts
486 - kdbus: introduce a concept of "send-only" connections
487 - 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.
490 - allow multiple signal handlers per signal?
491 - document chaining of signal handler for SIGCHLD and child handlers
493 * in the final killing spree, detect processes from the root directory, and
494 complain loudly if they have argv[0][0] == '@' set.
495 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=961044
497 * investigate endianness issues of UUID vs. GUID
499 * dbus: when a unit failed to load (i.e. is in UNIT_ERROR state), we
500 should be able to safely try another attempt when the bus call LoadUnit() is invoked.
502 * add a pam module that passes the hdd passphrase into the PAM stack and then expires it, for usage by gdm auto-login.
504 * add a pam module that on password changes updates any LUKS slot where the password matches
506 * maybe add a generator that looks for "systemd.run=" on the kernel cmdline for container usercases...
508 * cgtop: make cgtop useful in a container
511 - add 'set -e' to scripts in test/
512 - make stuff in test/ work with separate output dir
514 * seems that when we follow symlinks to units we prefer the symlink
515 destination path over /etc and /usr. We should not do that. Instead
516 /etc should always override /run+/usr and also any symlink
519 * when isolating, try to figure out a way how we implicitly can order
520 all units we stop before the isolating unit...
522 * teach ConditionKernelCommandLine= globs or regexes (in order to match foobar={no,0,off})
524 * BootLoaderSpec: Clarify that the kernel has to be in $BOOT. Clarify
525 that the boot loader should be installed to the ESP. Define a way
526 how an installer can figure out whether a BLS compliant boot loader
529 * think about requeuing jobs when daemon-reload is issued? usecase:
530 the initrd issues a reload after fstab from the host is accessible
531 and we might want to requeue the mounts local-fs acquired through
534 * systemd-inhibit: make taking delay locks useful: support sending SIGINT or SIGTERM on PrepareForSleep()
536 * journal-or-kmsg is currently broken? See reverted commit 4a01181e460686d8b4a543b1dfa7f77c9e3c5ab8.
538 * remove any syslog support from log.c -- we probably cannot do this before split-off udev is gone for good
540 * shutdown logging: store to EFI var, and store to USB stick?
542 * write UI tool that pops up emergency messages from the journal as notification
544 * think about window-manager-run-as-user-service problem: exit 0 → activate shutdown.target; exit != 0 → restart service
546 * merge unit_kill_common() and unit_kill_context()
548 * introduce ExecCondition= in services
551 - honor language efi variables for default language selection (if there are any?)
552 - honor timezone efi variables for default timezone selection (if there are any?)
553 - change bootctl to be backed by systemd-bootd to control temporary and persistent default boot goal plus efi variables
555 * maybe do not install getty@tty1.service symlink in /etc but in /usr?
557 * fstab: add new mount option x-systemd-after=/foobar/waldo to allow manual dependencies to other mount points
558 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=812826
560 * print a nicer explanation if people use variable/specifier expansion in ExecStart= for the first word
562 * mount: turn dependency information from /proc/self/mountinfo into dependency information between systemd units.
565 - logind: optionally, ignore idle-hint logic for autosuspend, block suspend as long as a session is around
566 - When we update the kernel all kind of hibernation should be prohibited until shutdown/reboot
567 - logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
568 - Add pretty name for seats in logind
569 - logind: allow showing logout dialog from system?
570 - we should probably handle SIGTERM/SIGINT to not leave dot files around, just in case
571 - session scopes/user unit: add RequiresMountsFor for the home directory of the user
572 - add Suspend() bus calls which take timestamps to fix double suspend issues when somebody hits suspend and closes laptop quickly.
573 - if pam_systemd is invoked by su from a process that is outside of a
574 any session we should probably just become a NOP, since that's
575 usually not a real user session but just some system code that just
577 - logind: make the Suspend()/Hibernate() bus calls wait for the for
578 the job to be completed. before returning, so that clients can wait
579 for "systemctl suspend" to finish to know when the suspending is
581 - logind: when the power button is pressed short, just popup a
582 logout dialog. If it is pressed for 1s, do the usual
583 shutdown. Inspiration are Macs here.
584 - expose "Locked" property on logind sesison objects
585 - given that logind now lets PID 1 do all nasty work, we can
586 probably reduce the capability set it retains substantially.
587 (we need CAP_SYS_ADMIN for drmSetMaster(), so maybe not worth it)
588 - expose orientation sensors and tablet mode through logind
590 * exec: when deinitializating a tty device fix the perms and group, too, not only when initializing. Set access mode/gid to 0620/tty.
592 * service: watchdog logic: for testing purposes allow ping, but do not require pong
595 - consider introducing implicit _TTY= + _PPID= + _EUID= + _EGID= + _FSUID= + _FSGID= fields
596 - import and delete pstore filesystem content at startup
597 - journald: also get thread ID from client, plus thread name
598 - journal: when waiting for journal additions in the client always sleep at least 1s or so, in order to minimize wakeups
599 - add API to close/reopen/get fd for journal client fd in libsystemd-journal.
600 - fallback to /dev/log based logging in libsystemd-journal, if we cannot log natively?
601 - declare the local journal protocol stable in the wiki interface chart
602 - journal: reuse XZ context
603 - sd-journal: speed up sd_journal_get_data() with transparent hash table in bg
604 - journald: when dropping msgs due to ratelimit make sure to write
605 "dropped %u messages" not only when we are about to print the next
606 message that works, but alraedy after a short tiemout
607 - check if we can make journalctl by default use --follow mode inside of less if called without args?
608 - maybe add API to send pairs of iovecs via sd_journal_send
609 - journal: when writing journal auto-rotate if time jumps backwards
610 - journal: add a setgid "systemd-journal" utility to invoke from libsystemd-journal, which passes fds via STDOUT and does PK access
611 - journactl: support negative filtering, i.e. FOOBAR!="waldo",
612 and !FOOBAR for events without FOOBAR.
613 - journal: store timestamp of journal_file_set_offline() int he header,
614 so it is possible to display when the file was last synced.
615 - 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.
616 - journal: find a way to allow dropping history early, based on priority, other rules
617 - journal: When used on NFS, check payload hashes
618 - journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
619 - refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
620 - journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
621 - journal: deal nicely with byte-by-byte copied files, especially regards header
622 - journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the components would fit
623 - Replace utmp, wtmp, btmp, and lastlog completely with journal
624 - journalctl: instead --after-cursor= maybe have a --cursor=XYZ+1 syntax?
625 - when a kernel driver logs in a tight loop, we should ratelimit that too.
626 - journald: optionally, log debug messages to /run but everything else to /var
627 - journald: when we drop syslog messages because the syslog socket is
628 full, make sure to write how many messages are lost as first thing
629 to syslog when it works again.
630 - journald: make sure ratelimit is actually really per-service with the new cgroup changes
631 - change systemd-journal-flush into a service that stays around during
632 boot, and causes the journal to be moved back to /run on shutdown,
633 so that we do not keep /var busy. This needs to happen synchronously,
634 hence doing this via signals is not going to work.
635 - optionally support running journald from the command line for testing purposes in external projects
636 - journald: allow per-priority and per-service retention times when rotating/vacuuming
637 - journald: make use of uid-range.h to managed uid ranges to split
639 - journalctl: add the ability to look for the most recent process of a binary. journalctl /usr/bin/X11 --pid=-1 or so...
640 - improve journalctl performance by loading journal files
641 lazily. Encode just enough information in the file name, so that we
642 do not have to open it to know that it is not interesting for us, for
643 the most common operations.
646 - document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fields in
647 [Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
648 - man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
649 - document the exit codes when services fail before they are exec()ed
650 - document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
651 - document in wiki how to map ical recurrence events to systemd timer unit calendar specifications
652 - add a man page containing packaging guidelines and recommending usage of things like Documentation=, PrivateTmp=, PrivateNetwork= and ReadOnlyDirectories=/etc /usr.
653 - document systemd-journal-flush.service properly
654 - documentation: recommend to connect the timer units of a service to the service via Also= in [Install]
655 - man: document the very specific env the shutdown drop-in tools live in
656 - man: extend runlevel(8) to mention that runlevels suck, and are dead. Maybe add runlevel(7) with a note about that too
657 - man: add more examples to man pages
658 - man: maybe sort directives in man pages, and take sections from --help and apply them to man too
661 - systemctl list-jobs - show dependencies
662 - add systemctl switch to dump transaction without executing it
663 - Add a verbose mode to "systemctl start" and friends that explains what is being done or not done
664 - "systemctl disable" on a static unit prints no message and does
665 nothing. "systemctl enable" does nothing, and gives a bad message
666 about it. Should fix both to print nice actionable messages.
667 - print nice message from systemctl --failed if there are no entries shown, and hook that into ExecStartPre of rescue.service/emergency.service
668 - add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
669 - systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into does not exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
670 - systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
671 - support "systemctl stop foobar@.service" to stop all units matching a certain template
672 - Something is wrong with symlink handling of "autovt@.service" in "systemctl list-unit-files"
673 - better error message if you run systemctl without systemd running
674 - systemctl status output should should include list of triggering units and their status
677 - "systemctl mask" should find all names by which a unit is accessible
678 (i.e. by scanning for symlinks to it) and link them all to /dev/null
679 - systemctl list-unit-files should list generated files (and probably with a new state "generated" for them, or so)
682 - timer units should get the ability to trigger when:
683 o CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (TFD_TIMER_CANCEL_ON_SET)
685 - Support 2012-02~4 as syntax for specifying the fourth to last day of the month.
686 - calendarspec: support value ranges with ".." notation. Example: 2013-4..8-1
687 - 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
688 - Modulate timer frequency based on battery state
690 * add libsystemd-password or so to query passwords during boot using the password agent logic
692 * 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().
694 * clean up date formatting and parsing so that all absolute/relative timestamps we format can also be parsed
696 * on shutdown: move utmp, wall, audit logic all into PID 1 (or logind?), get rid of systemd-update-utmp-runlevel
698 * make repeated alt-ctrl-del presses printing a dump, or even force a reboot without
699 waiting for the timeout
701 * hostnamed: before returning information from /etc/machine-info.conf check the modification data and reread. Similar for localed, ...
703 * currently x-systemd.timeout is lost in the initrd, since crypttab is copied into dracut, but fstab is not
706 - refuses to boot containers without /etc/machine-id (OK?), and with empty /etc/machine-id (not OK).
709 - cryptsetup-generator: allow specification of passwords in crypttab itself
710 - move cryptsetup key caching into kernel keyctl?
711 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54982
712 - support rd.luks.allow-discards= kernel cmdline params in cryptsetup generator
714 * hw watchdog: optionally try to use the preset watchdog timeout instead of always overriding it
715 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54712
717 * after deserializing sockets in socket.c we should reapply sockopts and things
719 * make timer units go away after they elapsed
721 * move PID 1 segfaults to /var/lib/systemd/coredump?
723 * create /sbin/init symlinks from the build system
725 * allow writing multiple conditions in unit files on one line
727 * MountFlags=shared acts as MountFlags=slave right now.
729 * drop PID 1 reloading, only do reexecing (difficult: Reload()
730 currently is properly synchronous, Reexec() is weird, because we
731 cannot delay the response properly until we are back, so instead of
732 being properly synchronous we just keep open the fd and close it
733 when done. That means clients do not get a successful method reply,
734 but much rather a disconnect on success.
736 * properly handle loop back mounts via fstab, especially regards to fsck/passno
738 * initialize the hostname from the fs label of /, if /etc/hostname does not exist?
740 * rename "userspace" to "core-os"
742 * load-fragment: when loading a unit file via a chain of symlinks
743 verify that it is not masked via any of the names traversed.
745 * introduce Type=pid-file
747 * change Requires=basic.target to RequisiteOverride=basic.target
749 * when breaking cycles drop sysv services first, then services from /run, then from /etc, then from /usr
751 * ExecOnFailure=/usr/bin/foo
756 - add trigger --subsystem-match=usb/usb_device device
757 - reimport udev db after MOVE events for devices without dev_t
759 * 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
761 * introduce mix of BindTo and Requisite
763 * There's currently no way to cancel fsck (used to be possible via C-c or c on the console)
765 * add option to sockets to avoid activation. Instead just drop packets/connections, see http://cyberelk.net/tim/2012/02/15/portreserve-systemd-solution/
767 * default unix qlen is too small (10). bump sysctl? add sockopt?
769 * save coredump in Windows/Mozilla minidump format
771 * support crash reporting operation modes (https://live.gnome.org/GnomeOS/Design/Whiteboards/ProblemReporting)
773 * default to actual 32-bit PIDs, via /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max
775 * be able to specify a forced restart of service A where service B depends on, in case B
776 needs to be auto-respawned?
778 * when a bus name of a service disappears from the bus make sure to queue further activation requests
781 - apply "x" on "D" too (see patch from William Douglas)
783 - instead of ignoring unknown fields, reject them.
785 * for services: do not set $HOME in services unless requested
787 * hide PAM options in fragment parser when compile time disabled
789 * when we automatically restart a service, ensure we restart its rdeps, too.
791 * allow Type=simple with PIDFile=
792 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=723942
794 * move PAM code into its own binary
796 * implement Register= switch in .socket units to enable registration
797 in Avahi, RPC and other socket registration services.
799 * make sure systemd-ask-password-wall does not shutdown systemd-ask-password-console too early
801 * add ReloadSignal= for configuring a reload signal to use
803 * verify that the AF_UNIX sockets of a service in the fs still exist
804 when we start a service in order to avoid confusion when a user
805 assumes starting a service is enough to make it accessible
807 * Make it possible to set the keymap independently from the font on
808 the kernel cmdline. Right now setting one resets also the other.
810 * and a dbus call to generate target from current state
812 * GC unreferenced jobs (such as .device jobs)
814 * write blog stories about:
815 - hwdb: what belongs into it, lsusb

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

881 - make operstates to wait for configurable?
884 - figure out how much we can increase Maximum Message Size
885 - support RFC4702 (pass FQDN)
888 - add functions to set previously stored IPv6 addresses on startup and get
889 them at shutdown; store them in client->ia_na
890 - write more test cases
891 - implement reconfigure support, see 5.3., 15.11. and 22.20.
892 - implement support for temporary adressess (IA_TA)
893 - implement dhcpv6 authentication
894 - investigate the usefulness of Confirm messages; i.e. are there any
895 situations where the link changes without any loss in carrier detection
897 - some servers don't do rapid commit without a filled in IA_NA, verify
903 - natively watch for dbus-*.service symlinks (PENDING)
904 - teach dbus to activate all services it finds in /etc/systemd/services/org-*.service
906 * fix alsa mixer restore to not print error when no config is stored
908 * make cryptsetup lower --iter-time
910 * patch kernel for xattr support in /dev, /proc/, /sys?
912 * kernel: add device_type = "fb", "fbcon" to class "graphics"
914 * drop accountsservice's StandardOutput=syslog and Type=dbus fields
916 * dbus upstream still refers to dbus.target and should not
918 * dbus: in fedora, make /var/lib/dbus/machine-id a symlink to /etc/machine-id
920 * add "# export SYSTEMD_PAGER=" to bash login
922 * /usr/bin/service should actually show the new command line
924 * 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=
926 * fedora: F20: go timer units all the way, leave cron.daily for cron
928 * neither pkexec nor sudo initialize environ[] from the PAM environment?
930 * fedora: update policy to declare access mode and ownership of unit files to root:root 0644, and add an rpmlint check for it
932 * register catalog database signature as file magic
934 * zsh shell completion:
935 - <command> <verb> -<TAB> should complete options, but currently does not
936 - systemctl add-wants,add-requires
941 * look for close() vs. close_nointr() vs. close_nointr_nofail()
943 * check for strerror(r) instead of strerror(-r)
945 * Use PR_SET_PROCTITLE_AREA if it becomes available in the kernel
949 * set_put(), hashmap_put() return values check. i.e. == 0 does not free()!
951 * use secure_getenv() instead of getenv() where appropriate
953 * link up selected blog stories from man pages and unit files Documentation= fields
955 Scheduled for removal or fixing:
957 * xxxOverridable dependencies (probably: fix)
