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 * delay activation of logind until somebody logs in, or when /dev/tty0 pulls it
37 in or lingering is on (so that containers don't bother with it until PAM is used). also exit-on-idle
39 * cache sd_event_now() result from before the first iteration...
41 * support for the new copy_file_range() syscall
43 * add systemctl stop --job-mode=triggering that follows TRIGGERED_BY deps and adds them to the same transaction
45 * Maybe add a way how users can "pin" units into memory, so that they are not subject to automatic GC?
47 * PID1: find a way how we can reload unit file configuration for
48 specific units only, without reloading the whole of systemd
50 * add an explicit parser for LimitNICE= and LimitRTPRIO= that verifies
51 the specified range and generates sane error messages for incorrect
52 specifications. Also, for LimitNICE= maybe introduce a syntax such
53 as "+5" or "-7" in order to make the limits more readable as they
54 are otherwise shifted by 20.
56 * do something about "/control" subcgroups in the unified cgroup hierarchy
58 * when we detect that there are waiting jobs but no running jobs, do something
60 * push CPUAffinity= also into the "cpuset" cgroup controller (only after the cpuset controller got ported to the unified hierarchy)
62 * add a new command "systemctl revert" or so, that removes all dropin
63 snippets in /run and /etc, and all unit files with counterparts in
64 /usr, and thus undoes what "systemctl set-property" and "systemctl
65 edit" create. Maybe even add "systemctl revert -a" to do this for
68 * PID 1 should send out sd_notify("WATCHDOG=1") messages (for usage in the --user mode, and when run via nspawn)
70 * consider throwing a warning if a service declares it wants to be "Before=" a .device unit.
72 * there's probably something wrong with having user mounts below /sys,
73 as we have for debugfs. for exmaple, src/core/mount.c handles mounts
74 prefixed with /sys generally special.
75 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-June/032962.html
77 * man: document that unless you use StandardError=null the shell >/dev/stderr won't work in shell scripts in services
79 * install: include generator dirs in unit file search paths
81 * rework C11 utf8.[ch] to use char32_t instead of uint32_t when referring
82 to unicode chars, to make things more expressive.
84 * fstab-generator: default to tmpfs-as-root if only usr= is specified on the kernel cmdline
86 * docs: bring http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/MyServiceCantGetRealtime up to date
88 * mounting and unmounting mount points manually with different source
89 devices will result in collected collected on all devices used.
90 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-April/030225.html
92 * add a job mode that will fail if a transaction would mean stopping
93 running units. Use this in timedated to manage the NTP service
95 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-April/030229.html
97 * Maybe add support for the equivalent of "ethtool advertise" to .link files?
98 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-April/030112.html
100 * The udev blkid built-in should expose a property that reflects
101 whether media was sensed in USB CF/SD card readers. This should then
102 be used to control SYSTEMD_READY=1/0 so that USB card readers aren't
103 picked up by systemd unless they contain a medium. This would mirror
104 the behaviour we already have for CD drives.
106 * networkd/udev: implement SR_IOV configuration in .link files:
107 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-January/027451.html
109 * Rework systemctl's GetAll property parsing to use the generic bus_map_all_properties() API
111 * implement a per-service firewall based on net_cls
113 * Port various tools to make use of verbs.[ch], where applicable
115 * hostnamectl: show root image uuid
117 * sysfs set api in libudev is not const
119 * Find a solution for SMACK capabilities stuff:
120 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-December/026188.html
122 * "systemctl preset-all" should probably order the unit files it
123 operates on lexicographically before starting to work, in order to
124 ensure deterministic behaviour if two unit files conflict (like DMs
127 * synchronize console access with BSD locks:
128 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-October/024582.html
130 * as soon as we have kdbus, and sender timestamps, revisit coalescing multiple parallel daemon reloads:
131 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-December/025862.html
133 * the install state probably shouldn't get confused by generated units, think dbus1/kdbus compat!
135 * in systemctl list-unit-files: show the install value the presets would suggest for a service in a third column
137 * figure out when we can use the coarse timers
139 * add "systemctl start -v foobar.service" that shows logs of a service
140 while the start command runs. This is non-trivial to do without
141 races though, since we should flush out all journal messages before
142 returning from the "systemctl stop".
144 * 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
146 * 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
148 * maybe add support for specifier expansion in user.conf, specifically DefaultEnvironment=
150 * introduce systemd-timesync-wait.service or so to sync on an NTP fix?
152 * systemd --user should issue sd_notify() upon reaching basic.target, not on becoming idle
154 * consider showing the unit names during boot up in the status output, not just the unit descriptions
156 * maybe allow timer units with an empty Units= setting, so that they
157 can be used for resuming the system but nothing else.
159 * what to do about udev db binary stability for apps? (raw access is not an option)
161 * maybe provide an API to allow migration of foreign PIDs into existing scopes.
163 * man: maybe use the word "inspect" rather than "introspect"?
165 * systemctl: if some operation fails, show log output?
168 - allow creation of units from scratch
169 - use equvalent of cat() to insert existing config as a comment, prepended with #.
170 Upon editor exit, lines with one # are removed, lines with two # are left with one #, etc.
172 * exponential backoff in timesyncd when we cannot reach a server
174 * timesyncd: add ugly bus calls to set NTP servers per-interface, for usage by NM
176 * extract_many_words() should probably be used by a lot of code that
177 currently uses FOREACH_WORD and friends. For example, most conf
178 parsing callbacks should use it.
180 * merge ~/.local/share and ~/.local/lib into one similar /usr/lib and /usr/share....
182 * systemd.show_status= should probably have a mode where only failed
185 * add systemd.abort_on_kill or some other such flag to send SIGABRT instead of SIGKILL
186 (throughout the codebase, not only PID1)
190 - service registration
191 - service/domain/types browsing
193 - DNS-SD service registration from socket units
194 - resolved should optionally register additional per-interface LLMNR
195 names, so that for the container case we can establish the same name
196 (maybe "host") for referencing the server, everywhere.
197 - enable DNSSEC by default
198 - allow clients to request DNSSEC for a single lookup even if DNSSEC is off (?)
200 * refcounting in sd-resolve is borked
202 * Add a new verb "systemctl top"
204 * add new gpt type for btrfs volumes
206 * support empty /etc boots nicely:
207 - nspawn/gpt-generator: introduce new gpt partition type for /usr
208 - fstab-generator: support systemd.volatile=yes|no|state on the kernel cmdline, too, similar to nspawn's --volatile=
210 * generator that automatically discovers btrfs subvolumes, identifies their purpose based on some xattr on them.
212 * a way for container managers to turn off getty starting via $container_headless= or so...
214 * figure out a nice way how we can let the admin know what child/sibling unit causes cgroup membership for a specific unit
216 * mount_cgroup_controllers(): symlinks need to get the label applied
218 * For timer units: add some mechanisms so that timer units that trigger immediately on boot do not have the services
219 they run added to the initial transaction and thus confuse Type=idle.
221 * 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)
223 * add bus api to query unit file's X fields.
225 * gpt-auto-generator:
226 - Support LUKS for root devices
227 - Define new partition type for encrypted swap? Support probed LUKS for encrypted swap?
228 - Make /home automount rather than mount?
230 * add generator that pulls in systemd-network from containers when
231 CAP_NET_ADMIN is set, more than the loopback device is defined, even
232 when it is otherwise off
234 * MessageQueueMessageSize= and RLimitFSIZE= (and suchlike) should use parse_iec_size().
236 * "busctl status" works only as root on dbus1, since we cannot read
239 * implement Distribute= in socket units to allow running multiple
240 service instances processing the listening socket, and open this up
243 * socket units: support creating sockets in different namespace,
244 opening it up for JoinsNamespaceOf=. This would require to fork off
245 a tiny process that joins the namespace and creates/binds the socket
246 and passes this back to PID1 via SCM_RIGHTS. This also could be used
247 to allow Chown/chgrp on sockets without requiring NSS in PID 1.
249 * New service property: maximum CPU and wallclock runtime for a service
251 * introduce bus call FreezeUnit(s, b), as well as "systemctl freeze
252 $UNIT" and "systemctl thaw $UNIT" as wrappers around this. The calls
253 should SIGSTOP all unit processes in a loop until all processes of
254 it are fully stopped. This can later be used for app management by
255 desktop UIs such as gnome-shell to freeze apps that are not visible
256 on screen, not unlike how job control works on the shell
259 - implement per-slice CPUFairScheduling=1 switch
260 - handle jointly mounted controllers correctly
261 - introduce high-level settings for RT budget, swappiness
262 - how to reset dynamically changed unit cgroup attributes sanely?
263 - when reloading configuration, apply new cgroup configuration
264 - when recursively showing the cgroup hierarchy, optionally also show
265 the hierarchies of child processes
268 - add field to transient units that indicate whether systemd or somebody else saves/restores its settings, for integration with libvirt
269 - ensure scope units may be started only a single time
271 * Automatically configure swap partition to use for hibernation by looking for largest swap partition on the root disk?
273 * when we detect low battery and no AC on boot, show pretty splash and refuse boot
275 * libsystemd-journal, libsystemd-login, libudev: add calls to easily attach these objects to sd-event event loops
277 * be more careful what we export on the bus as (usec_t) 0 and (usec_t) -1
279 * unify dispatch table in systemctl_main() and friends
281 * 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
283 * After coming back from hibernation reset hibernation swap partition using the /dev/snapshot ioctl APIs
285 * If we try to find a unit via a dangling symlink, generate a clean
286 error. Currently, we just ignore it and read the unit from the search
289 * refuse boot if /etc/os-release is missing or /etc/machine-id cannot be set up
291 * btrfs raid assembly: some .device jobs stay stuck in the queue
293 * make sure gdm does not use multi-user-x but the new default X configuration file, and then remove multi-user-x from systemd
295 * man: the documentation of Restart= currently is very misleading and suggests the tools from ExecStartPre= might get restarted.
297 * load .d/*.conf dropins for device units
299 * allow implementation of InaccessibleDirectories=/ plus
300 ReadOnlyDirectories=... for whitelisting files for a service.
304 - GetAllProperties() on a non-existing object does not result in a failure currently
305 - kdbus: process fd=-1 for incoming msgs
306 - port to sd-resolve for connecting to TCP dbus servers
307 - kdbus: maybe add controlling tty metadata fields
308 - 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
309 - when kdbus does not take our message without memfds, try again with memfds
310 - see if we can drop more message validation on the sending side
311 - add API to clone sd_bus_message objects
312 - make AddMatch calls on dbus1 transports async?
313 - kdbus: matches against source or destination pids for an "strace -p"-like feel. Problem: The PID info needs to be available in userspace too...
314 - longer term: priority inheritance
317 - NameLost/NameAcquired obsolete
320 - update systemd.special(7) to mention that dbus.socket is only about the compatibility socket now
321 - test bloom filter generation indexes
322 - bus-proxy: when passing messages from kdbus, make sure we properly
323 handle the case where a large number of fds is appended that we
324 cannot pass into sendmsg() of the AF_UNIX sokcet (which only accepts
326 - kdbus: introduce a concept of "send-only" connections
327 - 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.
330 - allow multiple signal handlers per signal?
331 - document chaining of signal handler for SIGCHLD and child handlers
332 - define more intervals where we will shift wakeup intervals around in, 1h, 6h, 24h, ...
333 - generate a failure of a default event loop is executed out-of-thread
334 - maybe add support for inotify events
336 * investigate endianness issues of UUID vs. GUID
338 * dbus: when a unit failed to load (i.e. is in UNIT_ERROR state), we
339 should be able to safely try another attempt when the bus call LoadUnit() is invoked.
341 * add a pam module that passes the hdd passphrase into the PAM stack and then expires it, for usage by gdm auto-login.
343 * add a pam module that on password changes updates any LUKS slot where the password matches
345 * maybe add a generator that looks for "systemd.run=" on the kernel cmdline for container usercases...
347 * cgtop: make cgtop useful in a container
350 - add 'set -e' to scripts in test/
351 - make stuff in test/ work with separate output dir
353 * seems that when we follow symlinks to units we prefer the symlink
354 destination path over /etc and /usr. We should not do that. Instead
355 /etc should always override /run+/usr and also any symlink
358 * when isolating, try to figure out a way how we implicitly can order
359 all units we stop before the isolating unit...
361 * teach ConditionKernelCommandLine= globs or regexes (in order to match foobar={no,0,off})
363 * BootLoaderSpec: Clarify that the kernel has to be in $BOOT. Clarify
364 that the boot loader should be installed to the ESP. Define a way
365 how an installer can figure out whether a BLS compliant boot loader
368 * think about requeuing jobs when daemon-reload is issued? usecase:
369 the initrd issues a reload after fstab from the host is accessible
370 and we might want to requeue the mounts local-fs acquired through
373 * systemd-inhibit: make taking delay locks useful: support sending SIGINT or SIGTERM on PrepareForSleep()
375 * remove any syslog support from log.c -- we probably cannot do this before split-off udev is gone for good
377 * shutdown logging: store to EFI var, and store to USB stick?
379 * think about window-manager-run-as-user-service problem: exit 0 → activate shutdown.target; exit != 0 → restart service
381 * merge unit_kill_common() and unit_kill_context()
383 * introduce ExecCondition= in services
386 - honor language efi variables for default language selection (if there are any?)
387 - honor timezone efi variables for default timezone selection (if there are any?)
388 - change bootctl to be backed by systemd-bootd to control temporary and persistent default boot goal plus efi variables
390 * maybe do not install getty@tty1.service symlink in /etc but in /usr?
392 * print a nicer explanation if people use variable/specifier expansion in ExecStart= for the first word
394 * mount: turn dependency information from /proc/self/mountinfo into dependency information between systemd units.
397 - logind: optionally, ignore idle-hint logic for autosuspend, block suspend as long as a session is around
398 - When we update the kernel all kind of hibernation should be prohibited until shutdown/reboot
399 - logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
400 - Add pretty name for seats in logind
401 - logind: allow showing logout dialog from system?
402 - we should probably handle SIGTERM/SIGINT to not leave dot files around, just in case
403 - session scopes/user unit: add RequiresMountsFor for the home directory of the user
404 - add Suspend() bus calls which take timestamps to fix double suspend issues when somebody hits suspend and closes laptop quickly.
405 - if pam_systemd is invoked by su from a process that is outside of a
406 any session we should probably just become a NOP, since that's
407 usually not a real user session but just some system code that just
409 - logind: make the Suspend()/Hibernate() bus calls wait for the for
410 the job to be completed. before returning, so that clients can wait
411 for "systemctl suspend" to finish to know when the suspending is
413 - logind: when the power button is pressed short, just popup a
414 logout dialog. If it is pressed for 1s, do the usual
415 shutdown. Inspiration are Macs here.
416 - expose "Locked" property on logind sesison objects
417 - given that logind now lets PID 1 do all nasty work, we can
418 probably reduce the capability set it retains substantially.
419 (we need CAP_SYS_ADMIN for drmSetMaster(), so maybe not worth it)
420 - expose orientation sensors and tablet mode through logind
421 - maybe allow configuration of the StopTimeout for session scopes
422 - rename session scope so that it includes the UID. THat way
423 the session scope can be arranged freely in slices and we don't have
424 make assumptions about their slice anymore.
425 - follow PropertiesChanged state more closely, to deal with quick logouts and
428 * exec: when deinitializating a tty device fix the perms and group, too, not only when initializing. Set access mode/gid to 0620/tty.
430 * service: watchdog logic: for testing purposes allow ping, but do not require pong
433 - consider introducing implicit _TTY= + _PPID= + _EUID= + _EGID= + _FSUID= + _FSGID= fields
434 - import and delete pstore filesystem content at startup
435 - journald: also get thread ID from client, plus thread name
436 - journal: when waiting for journal additions in the client always sleep at least 1s or so, in order to minimize wakeups
437 - add API to close/reopen/get fd for journal client fd in libsystemd-journal.
438 - fallback to /dev/log based logging in libsystemd-journal, if we cannot log natively?
439 - declare the local journal protocol stable in the wiki interface chart
440 - sd-journal: speed up sd_journal_get_data() with transparent hash table in bg
441 - journald: when dropping msgs due to ratelimit make sure to write
442 "dropped %u messages" not only when we are about to print the next
443 message that works, but alraedy after a short tiemout
444 - check if we can make journalctl by default use --follow mode inside of less if called without args?
445 - maybe add API to send pairs of iovecs via sd_journal_send
446 - journal: when writing journal auto-rotate if time jumps backwards
447 - journal: add a setgid "systemd-journal" utility to invoke from libsystemd-journal, which passes fds via STDOUT and does PK access
448 - journactl: support negative filtering, i.e. FOOBAR!="waldo",
449 and !FOOBAR for events without FOOBAR.
450 - journal: store timestamp of journal_file_set_offline() int he header,
451 so it is possible to display when the file was last synced.
452 - 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.
453 - journal: find a way to allow dropping history early, based on priority, other rules
454 - journal: When used on NFS, check payload hashes
455 - journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
456 - refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
457 - journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
458 - journal: deal nicely with byte-by-byte copied files, especially regards header
459 - journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the components would fit
460 - Replace utmp, wtmp, btmp, and lastlog completely with journal
461 - journalctl: instead --after-cursor= maybe have a --cursor=XYZ+1 syntax?
462 - when a kernel driver logs in a tight loop, we should ratelimit that too.
463 - journald: optionally, log debug messages to /run but everything else to /var
464 - journald: when we drop syslog messages because the syslog socket is
465 full, make sure to write how many messages are lost as first thing
466 to syslog when it works again.
467 - journald: make sure ratelimit is actually really per-service with the new cgroup changes
468 - change systemd-journal-flush into a service that stays around during
469 boot, and causes the journal to be moved back to /run on shutdown,
470 so that we do not keep /var busy. This needs to happen synchronously,
471 hence doing this via signals is not going to work.
472 - optionally support running journald from the command line for testing purposes in external projects
473 - journald: allow per-priority and per-service retention times when rotating/vacuuming
474 - journald: make use of uid-range.h to managed uid ranges to split
476 - journalctl: add the ability to look for the most recent process of a binary. journalctl /usr/bin/X11 --pid=-1 or so...
477 - improve journalctl performance by loading journal files
478 lazily. Encode just enough information in the file name, so that we
479 do not have to open it to know that it is not interesting for us, for
480 the most common operations.
481 - journal-or-kmsg is currently broken? See reverted
482 commit 4a01181e460686d8b4a543b1dfa7f77c9e3c5ab8.
483 - man: document that corrupted journal files is nothing to act on
484 - rework journald sigbus stuff to use mutex
485 - Set RLIMIT_NPROC for systemd-journal-xyz, and all other of our
486 services that run under their own user ids, and use User= (but only
487 in a world where userns is ubiquitous since otherwise we cannot
488 invoke those daemons on the host AND in a container anymore). Also,
489 if LimitNPROC= is used without User= we should warn and refuse
491 - journalctl --verify: don't show files that are currently being
492 written to as FAIL, but instead show that their are being written to.
493 - add journalctl -H that talks via ssh to a remote peer and passes through
495 - change journalctl -M to acquire fd to journal directory via machined, and
496 then operate on that via openat() instead of absolute paths
497 - add a version of --merge which also merges /var/log/journal/remote
498 - log accumulated resource usage after each service invocation
499 - journalctl: -m should access container journals directly by enumerating
500 them via machined, and also watch containers coming and going.
501 Benefit: nspawn --ephemeral would start working nicely with the journal.
502 - assign MESSAGE_ID to log messages about failed services
505 - document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fields in
506 [Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
507 - man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
508 - document the exit codes when services fail before they are exec()ed
509 - document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
510 - document in wiki how to map ical recurrence events to systemd timer unit calendar specifications
511 - add a man page containing packaging guidelines and recommending usage of things like Documentation=, PrivateTmp=, PrivateNetwork= and ReadOnlyDirectories=/etc /usr.
512 - document systemd-journal-flush.service properly
513 - documentation: recommend to connect the timer units of a service to the service via Also= in [Install]
514 - man: document the very specific env the shutdown drop-in tools live in
515 - man: add more examples to man pages
516 - man: maybe sort directives in man pages, and take sections from --help and apply them to man too
519 - systemctl list-jobs - show dependencies
520 - add systemctl switch to dump transaction without executing it
521 - Add a verbose mode to "systemctl start" and friends that explains what is being done or not done
522 - "systemctl disable" on a static unit prints no message and does
523 nothing. "systemctl enable" does nothing, and gives a bad message
524 about it. Should fix both to print nice actionable messages.
525 - print nice message from systemctl --failed if there are no entries shown, and hook that into ExecStartPre of rescue.service/emergency.service
526 - add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
527 - systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into does not exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
528 - systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
529 - better error message if you run systemctl without systemd running
530 - systemctl status output should should include list of triggering units and their status
533 - "systemctl mask" should find all names by which a unit is accessible
534 (i.e. by scanning for symlinks to it) and link them all to /dev/null
535 - systemctl list-unit-files should list generated files (and probably with a new state "generated" for them, or so)
538 - timer units should get the ability to trigger when:
539 o CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (TFD_TIMER_CANCEL_ON_SET)
541 - Support 2012-02~4 as syntax for specifying the fourth to last day of the month.
542 - calendarspec: support value ranges with ".." notation. Example: 2013-4..8-1
543 - Modulate timer frequency based on battery state
545 * add libsystemd-password or so to query passwords during boot using the password agent logic
547 * clean up date formatting and parsing so that all absolute/relative timestamps we format can also be parsed
549 * on shutdown: move utmp, wall, audit logic all into PID 1 (or logind?), get rid of systemd-update-utmp-runlevel
551 * make repeated alt-ctrl-del presses printing a dump, or even force a reboot without
552 waiting for the timeout
554 * hostnamed: before returning information from /etc/machine-info.conf check the modification data and reread. Similar for localed, ...
556 * currently x-systemd.timeout is lost in the initrd, since crypttab is copied into dracut, but fstab is not
559 - to allow "linking" of nspawn containers, extend --network-bridge= so
560 that it can dynamically create bridge interfaces that are refcounted
561 by the containers on them. For each group of containers to link together
562 - refuses to boot containers without /etc/machine-id (OK?), and with empty
563 /etc/machine-id (not OK).
564 - nspawn -x should support ephemeral instances of gpt images
565 - emulate /dev/kmsg using CUSE and turn off the syslog syscall
566 with seccomp. That should provide us with a useful log buffer that
567 systemd can log to during early boot, and disconnect container logs
568 from the kernel's logs.
569 - as soon as networkd has a bus interface, hook up --network-interface=,
570 --network-bridge= with networkd, to trigger netdev creation should an
572 - don't copy /etc/resolv.conf from host into container unless we are in
574 - a nice way to boot up without machine id set, so that it is set at boot
575 automatically for supporting --ephemeral. Maybe hash the host machine id
576 together with the machine name to generate the machine id for the container
577 - fix logic always print a final newline on output.
578 https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/272#issuecomment-113153176
579 - should optionally support receiving WATCHDOG=1 messages from its payload
581 - should send out sd_notify("WATCHDOG=1") messages
582 - optionally automatically add FORWARD rules to iptables whenever nspawn is
583 running, remove them when shut down.
584 - add a logic for cleaning up read-only, hidden container images in
585 /var/lib/machines that are not ancestors of any non-hidden containers
586 - Improve error message when --bind= is used on a non-existing source
588 - maybe make copying of /etc/resolv.conf optional, and skip it if --read-only
592 - "machinectl list" should probably show columns for OS version and IP
594 - add an API so that libvirt-lxc can inform us about network interfaces being
595 removed or added to an existing machine
596 - "machinectl migrate" or similar to copy a container from or to a
597 difference host, via ssh
598 - introduce systemd-nspawn-ephemeral@.service, and hook it into
599 "machinectl start" with a new --ephemeral switch
600 - "machinectl status" should also show internal logs of the container in
602 - "machinectl list-images" should show os-release data, as well as
603 machine-info data (including deployment level)
604 - "machinectl history"
606 - "machinectl commit" that takes a writable snapshot of a tree, invokes a
607 shell in it, and marks it read-only after use
610 - generate a nice warning if mkfs.btrfs is missing
613 - cryptsetup-generator: allow specification of passwords in crypttab itself
614 - move cryptsetup key caching into kernel keyctl?
615 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54982
616 - support rd.luks.allow-discards= kernel cmdline params in cryptsetup generator
618 * hw watchdog: optionally try to use the preset watchdog timeout instead of always overriding it
619 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54712
621 * create /sbin/init symlinks from the build system
623 * MountFlags=shared acts as MountFlags=slave right now.
625 * properly handle loop back mounts via fstab, especially regards to fsck/passno
627 * initialize the hostname from the fs label of /, if /etc/hostname does not exist?
629 * rename "userspace" to "core-os"
634 - add trigger --subsystem-match=usb/usb_device device
635 - reimport udev db after MOVE events for devices without dev_t
637 * 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
639 * There's currently no way to cancel fsck (used to be possible via C-c or c on the console)
641 * add option to sockets to avoid activation. Instead just drop packets/connections, see http://cyberelk.net/tim/2012/02/15/portreserve-systemd-solution/
644 - save coredump in Windows/Mozilla minidump format
645 - move PID 1 segfaults to /var/lib/systemd/coredump?
647 * support crash reporting operation modes (https://live.gnome.org/GnomeOS/Design/Whiteboards/ProblemReporting)
649 * default to actual 32-bit PIDs, via /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max
651 * be able to specify a forced restart of service A where service B depends on, in case B
652 needs to be auto-respawned?
655 - apply "x" on "D" too (see patch from William Douglas)
657 - instead of ignoring unknown fields, reject them.
658 - creating new directories/subvolumes/fifos/device nodes
659 should not follow symlinks. None of the other adjustment or creation
660 calls follow symlinks.
662 * make sure systemd-ask-password-wall does not shutdown systemd-ask-password-console too early
664 * verify that the AF_UNIX sockets of a service in the fs still exist
665 when we start a service in order to avoid confusion when a user
666 assumes starting a service is enough to make it accessible
668 * Make it possible to set the keymap independently from the font on
669 the kernel cmdline. Right now setting one resets also the other.
671 * and a dbus call to generate target from current state
673 * write blog stories about:
674 - hwdb: what belongs into it, lsusb
675 - enabling dbus services
677 - how to make changes to sysctl and sysfs attributes
679 - how to pass throw-away units to systemd, or dynamically change properties of existing units
680 - testing with Harald's awesome test kit
682 - how to develop against journal browsing APIs
683 - the journal HTTP iface
684 - non-cgroup resource management
685 - dynamic resource management with cgroups
686 - refreshed, longer missions statement
687 - calendar time events
688 - init=/bin/sh vs. "emergency" mode, vs. "rescue" mode, vs. "multi-user" mode, vs. "graphical" mode, and the debug shell
689 - how to create your own target
690 - instantiated apache, dovecot and so on
691 - hooking a script into various stages of shutdown/rearly booot
693 * investigate whether the gnome pty helper should be moved into systemd, to provide cgroup support.
695 * dot output for --test showing the 'initial transaction'
697 * fingerprint.target, wireless.target, gps.target, netdevice.target
700 - .timer units should optionally support CLOCK_BOOTTIME in addition to CLOCK_MONOTONIC
701 - When logging about multiple units (stopping BoundTo units, conflicts, etc.),
702 log both units as UNIT=, so that journalctl -u triggers on both.
703 - generate better errors when people try to set transient properties
704 that are not supported...
705 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-February/028076.html
706 - maybe introduce WantsMountsFor=? Usecase:
707 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-January/027729.html
708 - recreate systemd's D-Bus private socket file on SIGUSR2
709 - GC unreferenced jobs (such as .device jobs)
710 - move PAM code into its own binary
711 - when we automatically restart a service, ensure we restart its rdeps, too.
712 - for services: do not set $HOME in services unless requested
713 - hide PAM options in fragment parser when compile time disabled
714 - Support --test based on current system state
715 - 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().
716 - after deserializing sockets in socket.c we should reapply sockopts and things
717 - drop PID 1 reloading, only do reexecing (difficult: Reload()
718 currently is properly synchronous, Reexec() is weird, because we
719 cannot delay the response properly until we are back, so instead of
720 being properly synchronous we just keep open the fd and close it
721 when done. That means clients do not get a successful method reply,
722 but much rather a disconnect on success.
723 - when breaking cycles drop sysv services first, then services from /run, then from /etc, then from /usr
724 - when a bus name of a service disappears from the bus make sure to queue further activation requests
727 - allow port=0 in .socket units
728 - maybe introduce ExecRestartPre=
729 - add ReloadSignal= for configuring a reload signal to use
730 - implement Register= switch in .socket units to enable registration
731 in Avahi, RPC and other socket registration services.
732 - allow Type=simple with PIDFile=
733 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=723942
734 - allow writing multiple conditions in unit files on one line
735 - load-fragment: when loading a unit file via a chain of symlinks
736 verify that it is not masked via any of the names traversed.
737 - introduce Type=pid-file
738 - ExecOnFailure=/usr/bin/foo
739 - introduce mix of BindTo and Requisite
740 - add a concept of RemainAfterExit= to scope units
741 - Set NoNewPrivileges= on all of our own services, where that makes sense
742 - Allow multiple ExecStart= for all Type= settings, so that we can cover rescue.service nicely
743 - consider adding RuntimeDirectoryUser= + RuntimeDirectoryGroup=
746 - figure out a simple way to wait for journal events in a way that
748 - add documentation to systemd.daemon
751 - plot per-process IO utilization
752 - group processes based on service association (cgroups)
753 - document initcall_debug
754 - kernel cmdline "bootchart" option for simplicity?
757 - Make sure ID_PATH is always exported and complete for
758 network devices where possible, so we can safely rely
760 - check MTUBytes parsing (expecting size_t but we are using unsigned)
763 - add support for more attribute types
764 - inbuilt piping support (essentially degenerate async)? see loopback-setup.c and other places
767 - add more keys to [Route] and [Address] sections
768 - add support for more DHCPv4 options (and, longer term, other kinds of dynamic config)
769 - add proper initrd support (in particular generate .network/.link files based on /proc/cmdline)
770 - add reduced [Link] support to .network files
771 - add Scope= parsing option for [Network]
772 - properly handle routerless dhcp leases
773 - add more attribute support for SIT tunnel
774 - work with non-Ethernet devices
775 - add support for more bond options
776 - dhcp: do we allow configuring dhcp routes on interfaces that are not the one we got the dhcp info from?
777 - add LLDP client side support
778 - the DHCP lease data (such as NTP/DNS) is still made available when
779 a carrier is lost on a link. It should be removed instantly.
780 - expose in the API the following bits:
781 - option 15, domain name and/or option 119, search list
782 - option 12, host name and/or option 81, fqdn
783 - option 123, 144, geolocation
784 - option 252, configure http proxy (PAC/wpad)
785 - provide a way to define a per-network interface default metric value
786 for all routes to it. possibly a second default for DHCP routes.
787 - allow Name= to be specified repeatedly in the [Match] section. Maybe also
788 support Name=foo*|bar*|baz ?
789 - duplicate address check for static IPs (like ARPCHECK in network-scripts)
790 - allow DUID/IAID to be customized, see issue #394.
791 - support configuration option for TSO (tcp segmentation offload)
792 - whenever uplink info changes, make DHCP server send out FORCERENEW
794 * networkd-wait-online:
795 - make operstates to wait for configurable?
798 - figure out how much we can increase Maximum Message Size
799 - support RFC4702 (pass FQDN)
802 - add functions to set previously stored IPv6 addresses on startup and get
803 them at shutdown; store them in client->ia_na
804 - write more test cases
805 - implement reconfigure support, see 5.3., 15.11. and 22.20.
806 - implement support for temporary adressess (IA_TA)
807 - implement dhcpv6 authentication
808 - investigate the usefulness of Confirm messages; i.e. are there any
809 situations where the link changes without any loss in carrier detection
811 - some servers don't do rapid commit without a filled in IA_NA, verify
817 - natively watch for dbus-*.service symlinks (PENDING)
818 - teach dbus to activate all services it finds in /etc/systemd/services/org-*.service
820 * fix alsa mixer restore to not print error when no config is stored
822 * make cryptsetup lower --iter-time
824 * patch kernel for xattr support in /dev, /proc/, /sys?
826 * kernel: add device_type = "fb", "fbcon" to class "graphics"
828 * drop accountsservice's StandardOutput=syslog and Type=dbus fields
830 * dbus: in fedora, make /var/lib/dbus/machine-id a symlink to /etc/machine-id
832 * /usr/bin/service should actually show the new command line
834 * 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=
836 * fedora: F20: go timer units all the way, leave cron.daily for cron
838 * neither pkexec nor sudo initialize environ[] from the PAM environment?
840 * fedora: update policy to declare access mode and ownership of unit files to root:root 0644, and add an rpmlint check for it
842 * register catalog database signature as file magic
844 * zsh shell completion:
845 - <command> <verb> -<TAB> should complete options, but currently does not
846 - systemctl add-wants,add-requires
851 * look for close() vs. close_nointr() vs. close_nointr_nofail()
853 * check for strerror(r) instead of strerror(-r)
855 * Use PR_SET_PROCTITLE_AREA if it becomes available in the kernel
859 * set_put(), hashmap_put() return values check. i.e. == 0 does not free()!
861 * use secure_getenv() instead of getenv() where appropriate
863 * link up selected blog stories from man pages and unit files Documentation= fields
