3 * Many manager configuration settings that are only applicable to user
4 manager or system manager can be always set. It would be better to reject
5 them when parsing config.
9 * Fedora: add an rpmlint check that verifies that all unit files in the RPM are listed in %systemd_post macros.
11 * wiki: update journal format documentation for lz4 additions
15 * Rearrange tests so that the various test-xyz.c match a specific src/basic/xyz.c again
17 * rework mount.c and swap.c to follow proper state enumeration/deserialization
18 semantics, like we do for device.c now
22 * cryptsetup/homed: also support FIDO2 HMAC password logic for unlocking
25 * systemd-gpt-auto should probably set x-systemd.growfs on the mounts it
28 * homed/userdb: distuingish passwords and recovery keys in the records, since
29 we probably want to use different PBKDF algorithms/settings for them:
30 passwords have low entropy but recovery keys should have good entropy key
31 hence we can make them quicker to work.
34 - teach it to prepare an ESP wholesale, i.e. with mkfs.vfat invocation
35 - teach it to copy in unified kernel images and maybe type #1 boot loader spec entries from host
36 - make it operate on loopback files, dissecting enough to find ESP to operate on
38 * by default, in systemd --user service bump the OOMAdjust to 100, as privs
39 allow so that systemd survives
41 * when dissecting images, warn about unrecognized partition flags
43 * honour specifiers in unit files that resolve to some very basic
44 /etc/os-release data, such as ID, VERSION_ID, BUILD_ID, VARIANT_ID.
46 * socket units: allow creating a udev monitor socket with ListenDevices= or so,
47 with matches, then actviate app thorugh that passing socket oveer
50 - port sd_id128_get_machine_app_specific() over from khash
51 - port resolved over from libgcrypt (DNSSEC code)
52 - port journald + fsprg over from libgcrypt
53 - port importd over from libgcrypt
54 - when that's done: kill khash.c
55 - when that's done: kill gnutls support in resolved
57 * kill zenata, all hail weblate?
59 * when we resize disks (homed?) always round up to 4K sectors, not 512K
61 * add growvol and makevol options for /etc/crypttab, similar to
62 x-systemd.growfs and x-systemd-makefs.
64 * hook up the TPM to /etc/crypttab, with a new option that is similar to the
65 new PKCS#11 option in crypttab, and allows unlocking a LUKS volume via a key
66 unsealed from the TPM. Optionally, if TPM is not available fall back to
67 TPM-less mode, and set up linear DM mapping instead (inspired by kpartx), so
68 that the device paths stay the same, regardless if crypto is used or not.
70 * systemd-repart: by default generate minimized partition tables (i.e. tables
71 that only covere the space actually used, excluding any free space at the
72 end), in order to maximize dd'ability. Requires libfdisk work, see
73 https://github.com/karelzak/util-linux/issues/907
75 * systemd-repart: optionally, allow specifiying a path to initialize new
76 partitions from, i.e. an fs image file or a source device node. This would
77 then turn systemd-repart into a simple installer: with a few .repart files
78 you could replicate the host system on another device. a full installer would
79 then be: "systemd-repart /dev/sda && bootctl install /dev/sda &&
80 systemd-firstboot --image= …"
82 * systemd-repart: MBR partition table support. Care needs to be taken regarding
83 Type=, so that partition definitions can sanely apply to both the GPT and the
84 MBR case. Idea: accept syntax "Type=gpt:home mbr:0x83" for setting the types
85 for the two partition types explicitly. And provide an internal mapping so
86 that "Type=linux-generic" maps to the right types for both partition tables
89 * systemd-repart: allow sizing partitions as factor of available RAM, so that
90 we can reasonably size swap partitions for hibernation.
92 * systemd-repart: allow running mkfs before making partitions pop up +
93 encryption via LUKS to allow booting into an empty root with only /usr mounted in
95 * systemd-repart: allow managing the gpt read-only partition flag + auto-mount flag
97 * systemd-repart: allow disabling growing of specific partitions, or making
98 them (think ESP: we don't ever want to grow it, since we cannot resize vfat)
100 * systemd-repart: add specifier expansion, add especifier that refers to root
101 device node of current system, /usr device node, and matching verity, so that
102 an installer can be made a "copy" installer of the booted OS
104 * systemd-repart: make it a static checker during early boot for existance and
105 absence of other partitions for trusted boot environments
107 * systemd-repart: when no configuration is found, exit early do not check
108 partition table, so that it is safe to run in the initrd on any system
110 * systemd-repart: allow config of partition uuid
112 * userdb: allow username prefix searches in varlink API
114 * userdb: allow existance checks
116 * pid: activation by journal search expression
118 * when switching root from initrd to host, set the machine_id env var so that
119 if the host has no machine ID set yet we continue to use the random one the
122 * sd-event: add native support for P_ALL waitid() watching, then move PID 1 to
123 it fo reaping assigned but unknown children. This needs to some special care
124 to operate somewhat sensibly in light of priorities: P_ALL will return
125 arbitrary processes, regardless of the priority we want to watch them with,
126 hence on each event loop iteration check all processes which we shall watch
127 with higher prio explicitly, and then watch the entire rest with P_ALL.
129 * tweak sd-event's child watching: keep a prioq of children to watch and use
130 waitid() only on the children with the highest priority until one is waitable
131 and ignore all lower-prio ones from that point on
133 * maybe introduce xattrs that can be set on the root dir of the root fs
134 partition that declare the volatility mode to use the image in. Previously I
135 thought marking this via GPT partition flags but that's not ideal since
136 that's outside of the LUKS encryption/verity verification, and we probably
137 shouldn't operate in a volatile mode unless we got told so from a trusted
140 * figure out automatic partition discovery when combining writable root dir
143 * coredump: maybe when coredumping read a new xattr from /proc/$PID/exe that
144 may be used to mark a whole binary as non-coredumpable. Would fix:
145 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=69447
147 * teach parse_timestamp() timezones like the calendar spec already knows it
149 * beef up hibernation to optionally do swapon/swapoff immediately before/after
152 * beef up s2h to implement a battery watch loop: instead of entering
153 hibernation unconditionally after coming back from resume make a decision
154 based on the battery load level: if battery level is above a specific
155 threshold, go to suspend again, only hibernate if below it. This means we'd
156 stick to suspend usually, but fall back to hibernation only when battery runs
157 empty (well, subject to our sampling interval). Related to this, check if we
158 can make ACPI _BTP (i.e. /sys/class/power_supply/*/alarm) work for us too,
159 i.e. see if it can wake up machines from suspend, so that we could resume
160 automatically when the system is low on power and move automatically to
161 hibernation mode. (see
162 https://uefi.org/sites/default/files/resources/ACPI%206_2_A_Sept29.pdf
164 https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/design/device-experiences/modern-standby-wake-sources
167 * add an explicit "vertical" mode to format-table, so that "systemctl
168 status"-like outputs (i.e. with a series of field names left and values
169 right) become genuine first class citizens, and we gain automatic, sane JSON
172 * dissector: invoke fsck on the file systems we encounter, after all ext4 is
173 still pretty popular (and we mount the ESP too with it after all, which is
176 * systemd-firstboot: teach it dissector magic, so that you can point it to some
177 disk image and it will just set everything in it all behind the scenes.
179 * systemd-firstboot: add --force mode that replaces existing configuration.
181 * We should probably replace /var/log/README, /etc/rc.d/README with symlinks
182 that are linked to these places instead of copied. After all they are
183 constant vendor data.
185 * maybe add kernel cmdline params: 1) to force first-boot mode + 2) to force
186 random seed crediting
188 * nspawn: on cgroupsv1 issue cgroup empty handler process based on host events,
189 so that we make cgroup agent logic safe
191 * nspawn/machined: add API to invoke binary in container, then use that as
192 fallback in "machinectl shell"
194 * logind: rework pam_logind to also do a bus call in case of invocation from
195 user@.service, which returns the XDG_RUNTIME_DIR value, and make this
196 behaviour selectable via pam module option.
198 * introduce a new per-process uuid, similar to the boot id, the machine id, the
199 invocation id, that is derived from process creds, specifically a hashed
200 combination of AT_RANDOM + getpid() + the starttime from
201 /proc/self/status. Then add these ids implicitly when logging. Deriving this
202 uuid from these three things has the benefit that it can be derived easily
203 from /proc/$PID/ in a stable, and unique way that changes on both fork() and
206 * let's not GC a unit while its ratelimits are still pending
208 * when killing due to service watchdog timeout maybe detect whether target
209 process is under ptracing and then log loudly and continue instead.
211 * introduce a new group to own TPM devices
213 * make rfkill uaccess controllable by default, i.e. steal rule from
214 gnome-bluetooth and friends
216 * tweak journald context caching. In addition to caching per-process attributes
217 keyed by PID, cache per-cgroup attributes (i.e. the various xattrs we read)
218 keyed by cgroup path, and guarded by ctime changes. This should provide us
219 with a nice speed-up on services that have many processes running in the same
222 * make MAINPID= message reception checks even stricter: if service uses User=,
223 then check sending UID and ignore message if it doesn't match the user or
226 * maybe trigger a uevent "change" on a device if "systemctl reload xyz.device"
229 * when importing an fs tree with machined, optionally apply userns-rec-chown
231 * when importing an fs tree with machined, complain if image is not an OS
233 * Maybe introduce a helper safe_exec() or so, which is to execve() which
234 safe_fork() is to fork(). And then make revert the RLIMIT_NOFILE soft limit
235 to 1K implicitly, unless explicitly opted-out.
237 * rework seccomp/nnp logic that even if User= is used in combination with
238 a seccomp option we don't have to set NNP. For that, change uid first whil
239 keeping CAP_SYS_ADMIN, then apply seccomp, the drop cap.
241 * add a concept for automatically loading per-unit secrets off disk and
242 inserting them into the kernel keyring. Maybe SecretsDirectory= similar to
243 ConfigurationDirectory=.
245 * when no locale is configured, default to UEFI's PlatformLang variable
247 * bootctl,sd-boot: actually honour the "architecture" key
249 * add a new syscall group "@esoteric" for more esoteric stuff such as bpf() and
250 usefaultd() and make systemd-analyze check for it.
252 * paranoia: whenever we process passwords, call mlock() on the memory
253 first. i.e. look for all places we use free_and_erasep() and
254 augment them with mlock(). Also use MADV_DONTDUMP.
256 * Move RestrictAddressFamily= to the new cgroup create socket
258 * support the bind/connect/sendmsg cgroup stuff for sandboxing, and possibly
261 * maybe implicitly attach monotonic+realtime timestamps to outgoing messages in
262 log.c and sd-journal-send
264 * optionally: turn on cgroup delegation for per-session scope units
266 * introduce per-unit (i.e. per-slice, per-service) journal log size limits.
268 * sd-boot: automatically load EFI modules from some drop-in dir, so that people
269 can add in file system drivers and such
271 * sd-boot: optionally, show boot menu when previous default boot item has
272 non-zero "tries done" count
274 * introduce an option (or replacement) for "systemctl show" that outputs all
275 properties as JSON, similar to busctl's new JSON output. In contrast to that
276 it should skip the variant type string though.
278 * augment CODE_FILE=, CODE_LINE= with something like CODE_BASE= or so which
279 contains some identifier for the project, which allows us to include
280 clickable links to source files generating these log messages. The identifier
281 could be some abberviated URL prefix or so (taking inspiration from Go
282 imports). For example, for systemd we could use
283 CODE_BASE=github.com/systemd/systemd/blob/98b0b1123cc or so which is
284 sufficient to build a link by prefixing "http://" and suffixing the
287 * Augment MESSAGE_ID with MESSAGE_BASE, in a similar fashion so that we can
288 make clickable links from log messages carrying a MESSAGE_ID, that lead to
289 some explanatory text online.
291 * maybe extend .path units to expose fanotify() per-mount change events
293 * Add a "systemctl list-units --by-slice" mode or so, which rearranges the
294 output of "systemctl list-units" slightly by showing the tree structure of
295 the slices, and the units attached to them.
297 * the a-posteriori stopping of units bound to units that disappeared logic
298 should be reworked: there should be a queue of units, and we should only
299 enqeue stop jobs from a defer event that processes queue instead of
300 right-away when we find a unit that is bound to one that doesn't exist
301 anymore. (similar to how the stop-unneeded queue has been reworked the same
304 * nspawn: make nspawn suitable for shell pipelines: instead of triggering a
305 hangup when input is finished, send ^D, which synthesizes an EOF. Then wait
306 for hangup or ^D before passing on the EOF.
308 * When reloading configuration PID 1 should reset all its properties to the
309 original defaults before calling parse_config()
311 * nspawn: greater control over selinux label?
313 * hibernate/s2h: make this robust and safe to enable in Fedora by default.
316 1. add resume_offset support to the resume code (i.e. support swap files
318 2. check if swap is on weird storage and refuse if so
319 3. add auto-detection of hibernation images
321 * cgroups: use inotify to get notified when somebody else modifies cgroups
322 owned by us, then log a friendly warning.
324 * beef up log.c with support for stripping ANSI sequences from strings, so that
325 it is OK to include them in log strings. This would be particularly useful so
326 that our log messages could contain clickable links for example for unit
327 files and suchlike we operate on.
329 * add support for "portablectl attach http://foobar.com/waaa.raw (i.e. importd integration)
331 * add attach --enable and attach --now (for attach+enable+start)
333 * sync dynamic uids/gids between host+portable srvice (i.e. if DynamicUser=1 is set for a service, make sure that the
334 selected user is resolvable in the service even if it ships its own /etc/passwd)
336 * Fix DECIMAL_STR_MAX or DECIMAL_STR_WIDTH. One includes a trailing NUL, the
337 other doesn't. What a disaster. Probably to exclude it. Also
338 DECIMAL_STR_WIDTH should probably add an extra "-" into account for negative
341 * Check that users of inotify's IN_DELETE_SELF flag are using it properly, as
342 usually IN_ATTRIB is the right way to watch deleted files, as the former only
343 fires when a file is actually removed from disk, i.e. the link count drops to
344 zero and is not open anymore, while the latter happens when a file is
345 unlinked from any dir.
347 * port systemctl, busctl, … over to format-table.[ch]'s table formatters
349 * pid1: lock image configured with RootDirectory=/RootImage= using the usual nspawn semantics while the unit is up
351 * add --vacuum-xyz options to coredumpctl, matching those journalctl already has.
353 * introduce Ephemeral= unit file switch, that creates an ephemeral copy of all
354 files and directories that are left writable for a unit, and which are
355 removed after the unit goes down again. A bit like --ephemeral for
356 systemd-nspawn but for system services. If used together with RootImage= this
357 should reflink the image file itself.
359 Related: add Ephemeral=<path1> <path2> … which would allow marking
360 specific paths only like this.
362 * add CopyFile= or so as unit file setting that may be used to copy files or
363 directory trees from the host to the services RootImage= and RootDirectory=
364 environment. Which we can use for /etc/machine-id and in particular
365 /etc/resolv.conf. Should be smart and do something useful on read-only
366 images, for example fallback to read-only bind mounting the file instead.
368 * show invocation ID in systemd-run output
370 * bypass SIGTERM state in unit files if KillSignal is SIGKILL
372 * add proper dbus APIs for the various sd_notify() commands, such as MAINPID=1
373 and so on, which would mean we could report errors and such.
375 * teach tmpfiles.d q/Q logic something sensible in the context of XFS/ext4
378 * introduce DefaultSlice= or so in system.conf that allows changing where we
379 place our units by default, i.e. change system.slice to something
380 else. Similar, ManagerSlice= should exist so that PID1's own scope unit could
381 be moved somewhere else too. Finally machined and logind should get similar
382 options so that it is possible to move user session scopes and machines to a
383 different slice too by default. Usecase: people who want to put resources on
384 the entire system, with the exception of one specific service. See:
385 https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2018-February/040369.html
387 * maybe rework get_user_creds() to query the user database if $SHELL is used
388 for root, but only then.
390 * be stricter with fds we receive for the fdstore: close them asynchronously
392 * calenderspec: add support for week numbers and day numbers within a
393 year. This would allow us to define "bi-weekly" triggers safely.
395 * sd-bus: add vtable flag, that may be used to request client creds implicitly
396 and asynchronously before dispatching the operation
398 * make use of ethtool veth peer info in machined, for automatically finding out
399 host-side interface pointing to the container.
401 * add some special mode to LogsDirectory=/StateDirectory=… that allows
402 declaring these directories without necessarily pulling in deps for them, or
403 creating them when starting up. That way, we could declare that
404 systemd-journald writes to /var/log/journal, which could be useful when we
405 doing disk usage calculations and so on.
407 * taint systemd if there are fewer than 65536 users assigned (userns) to the system.
409 * deprecate RootDirectoryStartOnly= in favour of a new ExecStart= prefix char
411 * add a new RuntimeDirectoryPreserve= mode that defines a similar lifecycle for
412 the runtime dir as we maintain for the fdstore: i.e. keep it around as long
413 as the unit is running or has a job queued.
415 * support projid-based quota in machinectl for containers
417 * maybe use SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH (i.e. the env var the reproducible builds folks
418 introduced) as the RTC epoch, instead of the mtime of NEWS.
420 * add a way to lock down cgroup migration: a boolean, which when set for a unit
421 makes sure the processes in it can never migrate out of it
423 * blog about fd store and restartable services
425 * document Environment=SYSTEMD_LOG_LEVEL=debug drop-in in debugging document
427 * rework ExecOutput and ExecInput enums so that EXEC_OUTPUT_NULL loses its
428 magic meaning and is no longer upgraded to something else if set explicitly.
430 * in the long run: permit a system with /etc/machine-id linked to /dev/null, to
431 make it lose its identity, i.e. be anonymous. For this we'd have to patch
432 through the whole tree to make all code deal with the case where no machine
435 * optionally, collect cgroup resource data, and store it in per-unit RRD files,
436 suitable for processing with rrdtool. Add bus API to access this data, and
437 possibly implement a CPULoad property based on it.
439 * beef up pam_systemd to take unit file settings such as cgroups properties as
442 * maybe hook of xfs/ext4 quotactl() with services? i.e. automatically manage
443 the quota of a the user indicated in User= via unit file settings, like the
444 other resource management concepts. Would mix nicely with DynamicUser=1. Or
445 alternatively, do this with projids, so that we can also cover services
446 running as root. Quota should probably cover all the special dirs such as
447 StateDirectory=, LogsDirectory=, CacheDirectory=, as well as RootDirectory= if it
448 is set, plus the whole disk space any image configured with RootImage=.
450 * In DynamicUser= mode: before selecting a UID, use disk quota APIs on relevant
451 disks to see if the UID is already in use.
453 * add "systemctl wait" or so, which does what "systemd-run --wait" does, but
454 for all units. It should be both a way to pin units into memory as well as a
455 wait to retrieve their exit data.
457 * expose IO accounting data on the bus, show it in systemd-run --wait and log
458 about it in the resource log message
460 * show whether a service has out-of-date configuration in "systemctl status" by
461 using mtime data of ConfigurationDirectory=.
463 * Add AddUser= setting to unit files, similar to DynamicUser=1 which however
464 creates a static, persistent user rather than a dynamic, transient user. We
465 can leverage code from sysusers.d for this.
467 * add some optional flag to ReadWritePaths= and friends, that has the effect
468 that we create the dir in question when the service is started. Example:
470 ReadWritePaths=:/var/lib/foobar
472 * maybe add call sd_journal_set_block_timeout() or so to set SO_SNDTIMEO for
473 the sd-journal logging socket, and, if the timeout is set to 0, sets
474 O_NONBLOCK on it. That way people can control if and when to block for
477 * hostnamed: populate form factor data from a new hwdb database, so that old
478 yogas can be recognized as "convertible" too, even if they predate the DMI
479 "convertible" form factor
481 * Maybe add PrivatePIDs= as new unit setting, and do minimal PID namespacing
482 after all. Be strict however, only support the equivalent of nspawn's
483 --as-pid2 switch, and sanely proxy sd_notify() messages dropping stuff such
486 * Add ExecMonitor= setting. May be used multiple times. Forks off a process in
487 the service cgroup, which is supposed to monitor the service, and when it
488 exits the service is considered failed by its monitor.
490 * track the per-service PAM process properly (i.e. as an additional control
491 process), so that it may be queried on the bus and everything.
493 * add a new "debug" job mode, that is propagated to unit_start() and for
494 services results in two things: we raise SIGSTOP right before invoking
495 execve() and turn off watchdog support. Then, use that to implement
496 "systemd-gdb" for attaching to the start-up of any system service in its
499 * maybe add gpt-partition-based user management: each user gets his own
500 LUKS-encrypted GPT partition with a new GPT type. A small nss module
501 enumerates users via udev partition enumeration. UIDs are assigned in a fixed
502 way: the partition index is added as offset to some fixed base uid. User name
503 is stored in GPT partition name. A PAM module authenticates the user via the
504 LUKS partition password. Benefits: strong per-user security, compatibility
505 with stateless/read-only/verity-enabled root. (other idea: do this based on
506 loopback files in /home, without GPT involvement)
508 * gpt-auto logic: related to the above, maybe support a "secondary" root
509 partition, that is mounted to / and is writable, and where the actual root's
510 /usr is mounted into.
512 * gpt-auto logic: support encrypted swap, add kernel cmdline option to force it, and honour a gpt bit about it, plus maybe a configuration file
514 * drop nss-myhostname in favour of nss-resolve?
516 * add a percentage syntax for TimeoutStopSec=, e.g. TimeoutStopSec=150%, and
517 then use that for the setting used in user@.service. It should be understood
518 relative to the configured default value.
520 * in networkd, when matching device types, fix up DEVTYPE rubbish the kernel passes to us
522 * enable LockMLOCK to take a percentage value relative to physical memory
524 * Permit masking specific netlink APIs with RestrictAddressFamily=
526 * nspawn: support that /proc, /sys/, /dev are pre-mounted
528 * define gpt header bits to select volatility mode
530 * ProtectClock= (drops CAP_SYS_TIMES, adds seecomp filters for settimeofday, adjtimex), sets DeviceAllow o /dev/rtc
532 * ProtectTracing= (drops CAP_SYS_PTRACE, blocks ptrace syscall, makes /sys/kernel/tracing go away)
534 * ProtectMount= (drop mount/umount/pivot_root from seccomp, disallow fuse via DeviceAllow, imply Mountflags=slave)
536 * ProtectKeyRing= to take keyring calls away
538 * RemoveKeyRing= to remove all keyring entries of the specified user
540 * ProtectReboot= that masks reboot() and kexec_load() syscalls, prohibits kill
541 on PID 1 with the relevant signals, and makes relevant files in /sys and
542 /proc (such as the sysrq stuff) unavailable
544 * make sure the ratelimit object can deal with USEC_INFINITY as way to turn off things
546 * journalctl: make sure -f ends when the container indicated by -M terminates
548 * mount: automatically search for "main" partition of an image has multiple
551 * in nss-systemd, if we run inside of RootDirectory= with PrivateUsers= set,
552 find a way to map the User=/Group= of the service to the right name. This way
553 a user/group for a service only has to exist on the host for the right
556 * add bus API for creating unit files in /etc, reusing the code for transient units
558 * add bus API to remove unit files from /etc
560 * add bus API to retrieve current unit file contents (i.e. implement "systemctl cat" on the bus only)
562 * rework fopen_temporary() to make use of open_tmpfile_linkable() (problem: the
563 kernel doesn't support linkat() that replaces existing files, currently)
565 * transient units: don't bother with actually setting unit properties, we
566 reload the unit file anyway
568 * journald: sigbus API via a signal-handler safe function that people may call
569 from the SIGBUS handler
571 * optionally, also require WATCHDOG=1 notifications during service start-up and shutdown
573 * delay activation of logind until somebody logs in, or when /dev/tty0 pulls it
574 in or lingering is on (so that containers don't bother with it until PAM is used). also exit-on-idle
576 * cache sd_event_now() result from before the first iteration...
578 * PID1: find a way how we can reload unit file configuration for
579 specific units only, without reloading the whole of systemd
581 * add an explicit parser for LimitRTPRIO= that verifies
582 the specified range and generates sane error messages for incorrect
585 * when we detect that there are waiting jobs but no running jobs, do something
587 * push CPUAffinity= also into the "cpuset" cgroup controller
589 * PID 1 should send out sd_notify("WATCHDOG=1") messages (for usage in the --user mode, and when run via nspawn)
591 * there's probably something wrong with having user mounts below /sys,
592 as we have for debugfs. for example, src/core/mount.c handles mounts
593 prefixed with /sys generally special.
594 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-June/032962.html
596 * fstab-generator: default to tmpfs-as-root if only usr= is specified on the kernel cmdline
598 * docs: bring http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/MyServiceCantGetRealtime up to date
600 * add a job mode that will fail if a transaction would mean stopping
601 running units. Use this in timedated to manage the NTP service
603 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-April/030229.html
605 * The udev blkid built-in should expose a property that reflects
606 whether media was sensed in USB CF/SD card readers. This should then
607 be used to control SYSTEMD_READY=1/0 so that USB card readers aren't
608 picked up by systemd unless they contain a medium. This would mirror
609 the behaviour we already have for CD drives.
611 * networkd/udev: implement SR_IOV configuration in .link files:
612 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-January/027451.html
614 * hostnamectl: show root image uuid
616 * Find a solution for SMACK capabilities stuff:
617 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-December/026188.html
619 * "systemctl preset-all" should probably order the unit files it
620 operates on lexicographically before starting to work, in order to
621 ensure deterministic behaviour if two unit files conflict (like DMs
624 * synchronize console access with BSD locks:
625 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-October/024582.html
627 * as soon as we have sender timestamps, revisit coalescing multiple parallel daemon reloads:
628 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-December/025862.html
630 * figure out when we can use the coarse timers
632 * add "systemctl start -v foobar.service" that shows logs of a service
633 while the start command runs. This is non-trivial to do without
634 races though, since we should flush out all journal messages before
635 returning from the "systemctl stop".
637 * 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
639 * maybe add support for specifier expansion in user.conf, specifically DefaultEnvironment=
641 * maybe allow timer units with an empty Units= setting, so that they
642 can be used for resuming the system but nothing else.
644 * what to do about udev db binary stability for apps? (raw access is not an option)
646 * systemctl: if some operation fails, show log output?
648 * systemctl edit: use equivalent of cat() to insert existing config as a comment, prepended with #.
649 Upon editor exit, lines with one # are removed, lines with two # are left with one #, etc.
651 * exponential backoff in timesyncd when we cannot reach a server
653 * timesyncd: add ugly bus calls to set NTP servers per-interface, for usage by NM
655 * merge ~/.local/share and ~/.local/lib into one similar /usr/lib and /usr/share....
657 * systemd.show_status= should probably have a mode where only failed
660 * add systemd.abort_on_kill or some other such flag to send SIGABRT instead of SIGKILL
661 (throughout the codebase, not only PID1)
665 - service registration
666 - service/domain/types browsing
668 - DNS-SD service registration from socket units
669 - resolved should optionally register additional per-interface LLMNR
670 names, so that for the container case we can establish the same name
671 (maybe "host") for referencing the server, everywhere.
672 - allow clients to request DNSSEC for a single lookup even if DNSSEC is off (?)
673 - hook up resolved with machined-based address resolution
675 * refcounting in sd-resolve is borked
677 * Add a new verb "systemctl top"
679 * add new gpt type for btrfs volumes
681 * support empty /etc boots nicely:
682 - nspawn/gpt-generator: introduce new gpt partition type for /usr
684 * generator that automatically discovers btrfs subvolumes, identifies their purpose based on some xattr on them.
686 * a way for container managers to turn off getty starting via $container_headless= or so...
688 * figure out a nice way how we can let the admin know what child/sibling unit causes cgroup membership for a specific unit
690 * For timer units: add some mechanisms so that timer units that trigger immediately on boot do not have the services
691 they run added to the initial transaction and thus confuse Type=idle.
693 * add bus api to query unit file's X fields.
695 * gpt-auto-generator:
696 - Define new partition type for encrypted swap? Support probed LUKS for encrypted swap?
697 - Make /home automount rather than mount?
699 * add generator that pulls in systemd-network from containers when
700 CAP_NET_ADMIN is set, more than the loopback device is defined, even
701 when it is otherwise off
703 * MessageQueueMessageSize= (and suchlike) should use parse_iec_size().
705 * implement Distribute= in socket units to allow running multiple
706 service instances processing the listening socket, and open this up
709 * introduce bus call FreezeUnit(s, b), as well as "systemctl freeze
710 $UNIT" and "systemctl thaw $UNIT" as wrappers around this. The calls
711 should SIGSTOP all unit processes in a loop until all processes of
712 it are fully stopped. This can later be used for app management by
713 desktop UIs such as gnome-shell to freeze apps that are not visible
714 on screen, not unlike how job control works on the shell
717 - implement per-slice CPUFairScheduling=1 switch
718 - introduce high-level settings for RT budget, swappiness
719 - how to reset dynamically changed unit cgroup attributes sanely?
720 - when reloading configuration, apply new cgroup configuration
721 - when recursively showing the cgroup hierarchy, optionally also show
722 the hierarchies of child processes
725 - add field to transient units that indicate whether systemd or somebody else saves/restores its settings, for integration with libvirt
727 * when we detect low battery and no AC on boot, show pretty splash and refuse boot
729 * libsystemd-journal, libsystemd-login, libudev: add calls to easily attach these objects to sd-event event loops
731 * be more careful what we export on the bus as (usec_t) 0 and (usec_t) -1
733 * 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
735 * After coming back from hibernation reset hibernation swap partition using the /dev/snapshot ioctl APIs
737 * If we try to find a unit via a dangling symlink, generate a clean
738 error. Currently, we just ignore it and read the unit from the search
741 * refuse boot if /usr/lib/os-release is missing or /etc/machine-id cannot be set up
743 * man: the documentation of Restart= currently is very misleading and suggests the tools from ExecStartPre= might get restarted.
745 * load .d/*.conf dropins for device units
749 - GetAllProperties() on a non-existing object does not result in a failure currently
750 - port to sd-resolve for connecting to TCP dbus servers
751 - 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
752 - see if we can drop more message validation on the sending side
753 - add API to clone sd_bus_message objects
754 - longer term: priority inheritance
756 - NameLost/NameAcquired obsolete
759 - update systemd.special(7) to mention that dbus.socket is only about the compatibility socket now
762 - allow multiple signal handlers per signal?
763 - document chaining of signal handler for SIGCHLD and child handlers
764 - define more intervals where we will shift wakeup intervals around in, 1h, 6h, 24h, ...
766 * investigate endianness issues of UUID vs. GUID
768 * dbus: when a unit failed to load (i.e. is in UNIT_ERROR state), we
769 should be able to safely try another attempt when the bus call LoadUnit() is invoked.
771 * add a pam module that passes the hdd passphrase into the PAM stack and then expires it, for usage by gdm auto-login.
773 * add a pam module that on password changes updates any LUKS slot where the password matches
776 - add unit tests for config_parse_device_allow()
778 * seems that when we follow symlinks to units we prefer the symlink
779 destination path over /etc and /usr. We should not do that. Instead
780 /etc should always override /run+/usr and also any symlink
783 * when isolating, try to figure out a way how we implicitly can order
784 all units we stop before the isolating unit...
786 * teach ConditionKernelCommandLine= globs or regexes (in order to match foobar={no,0,off})
788 * BootLoaderSpec: Clarify that the kernel has to be in $BOOT. Clarify
789 that the boot loader should be installed to the ESP. Define a way
790 how an installer can figure out whether a BLS compliant boot loader
793 * think about requeuing jobs when daemon-reload is issued? usecase:
794 the initrd issues a reload after fstab from the host is accessible
795 and we might want to requeue the mounts local-fs acquired through
798 * systemd-inhibit: make taking delay locks useful: support sending SIGINT or SIGTERM on PrepareForSleep()
800 * remove any syslog support from log.c — we probably cannot do this before split-off udev is gone for good
802 * shutdown logging: store to EFI var, and store to USB stick?
804 * merge unit_kill_common() and unit_kill_context()
807 - honor language efi variables for default language selection (if there are any?)
808 - honor timezone efi variables for default timezone selection (if there are any?)
809 - change bootctl to be backed by systemd-bootd to control temporary and persistent default boot goal plus efi variables
811 - recognize the case when not booted on EFI
813 * maybe do not install getty@tty1.service symlink in /etc but in /usr?
815 * print a nicer explanation if people use variable/specifier expansion in ExecStart= for the first word
817 * mount: turn dependency information from /proc/self/mountinfo into dependency information between systemd units.
820 - logind: optionally, ignore idle-hint logic for autosuspend, block suspend as long as a session is around
821 - logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
822 - Add pretty name for seats in logind
823 - logind: allow showing logout dialog from system?
824 - add Suspend() bus calls which take timestamps to fix double suspend issues when somebody hits suspend and closes laptop quickly.
825 - if pam_systemd is invoked by su from a process that is outside of a
826 any session we should probably just become a NOP, since that's
827 usually not a real user session but just some system code that just
829 - logind: make the Suspend()/Hibernate() bus calls wait for the for
830 the job to be completed. before returning, so that clients can wait
831 for "systemctl suspend" to finish to know when the suspending is
833 - logind: when the power button is pressed short, just popup a
834 logout dialog. If it is pressed for 1s, do the usual
835 shutdown. Inspiration are Macs here.
836 - expose "Locked" property on logind sesison objects
837 - maybe allow configuration of the StopTimeout for session scopes
838 - rename session scope so that it includes the UID. THat way
839 the session scope can be arranged freely in slices and we don't have
840 make assumptions about their slice anymore.
841 - follow PropertiesChanged state more closely, to deal with quick logouts and
845 - consider introducing implicit _TTY= + _PPID= + _EUID= + _EGID= + _FSUID= + _FSGID= fields
846 - journald: also get thread ID from client, plus thread name
847 - journal: when waiting for journal additions in the client always sleep at least 1s or so, in order to minimize wakeups
848 - add API to close/reopen/get fd for journal client fd in libsystemd-journal.
849 - fallback to /dev/log based logging in libsystemd-journal, if we cannot log natively?
850 - declare the local journal protocol stable in the wiki interface chart
851 - sd-journal: speed up sd_journal_get_data() with transparent hash table in bg
852 - journald: when dropping msgs due to ratelimit make sure to write
853 "dropped %u messages" not only when we are about to print the next
854 message that works, but already after a short timeout
855 - check if we can make journalctl by default use --follow mode inside of less if called without args?
856 - maybe add API to send pairs of iovecs via sd_journal_send
857 - journal: add a setgid "systemd-journal" utility to invoke from libsystemd-journal, which passes fds via STDOUT and does PK access
858 - journactl: support negative filtering, i.e. FOOBAR!="waldo",
859 and !FOOBAR for events without FOOBAR.
860 - journal: store timestamp of journal_file_set_offline() int he header,
861 so it is possible to display when the file was last synced.
862 - 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.
863 - journal: find a way to allow dropping history early, based on priority, other rules
864 - journal: When used on NFS, check payload hashes
865 - journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
866 - refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
867 - journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
868 - journal: deal nicely with byte-by-byte copied files, especially regards header
869 - journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the components would fit
870 - Replace utmp, wtmp, btmp, and lastlog completely with journal
871 - journalctl: instead --after-cursor= maybe have a --cursor=XYZ+1 syntax?
872 - when a kernel driver logs in a tight loop, we should ratelimit that too.
873 - journald: optionally, log debug messages to /run but everything else to /var
874 - journald: when we drop syslog messages because the syslog socket is
875 full, make sure to write how many messages are lost as first thing
876 to syslog when it works again.
877 - change systemd-journal-flush into a service that stays around during
878 boot, and causes the journal to be moved back to /run on shutdown,
879 so that we do not keep /var busy. This needs to happen synchronously,
880 hence doing this via signals is not going to work.
881 - optionally support running journald from the command line for testing purposes in external projects
882 - journald: allow per-priority and per-service retention times when rotating/vacuuming
883 - journald: make use of uid-range.h to managed uid ranges to split
885 - journalctl: add the ability to look for the most recent process of a binary. journalctl /usr/bin/X11 --pid=-1 or so...
886 - improve journalctl performance by loading journal files
887 lazily. Encode just enough information in the file name, so that we
888 do not have to open it to know that it is not interesting for us, for
889 the most common operations.
890 - man: document that corrupted journal files is nothing to act on
891 - rework journald sigbus stuff to use mutex
892 - Set RLIMIT_NPROC for systemd-journal-xyz, and all other of our
893 services that run under their own user ids, and use User= (but only
894 in a world where userns is ubiquitous since otherwise we cannot
895 invoke those daemons on the host AND in a container anymore). Also,
896 if LimitNPROC= is used without User= we should warn and refuse
898 - journalctl --verify: don't show files that are currently being
899 written to as FAIL, but instead show that their are being written to.
900 - add journalctl -H that talks via ssh to a remote peer and passes through
902 - add a version of --merge which also merges /var/log/journal/remote
903 - journalctl: -m should access container journals directly by enumerating
904 them via machined, and also watch containers coming and going.
905 Benefit: nspawn --ephemeral would start working nicely with the journal.
906 - assign MESSAGE_ID to log messages about failed services
908 * add a test if all entries in the catalog are properly formatted.
909 (Adding dashes in a catalog entry currently results in the catalog entry
910 being silently skipped. journalctl --update-catalog must warn about this,
911 and we should also have a unit test to check that all our message are OK.)
914 - document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fields in
915 [Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
916 - man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
917 - document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
918 - add a man page containing packaging guidelines and recommending usage of things like Documentation=, PrivateTmp=, PrivateNetwork= and ReadOnlyDirectories=/etc /usr.
919 - document systemd-journal-flush.service properly
920 - documentation: recommend to connect the timer units of a service to the service via Also= in [Install]
921 - man: document the very specific env the shutdown drop-in tools live in
922 - man: add more examples to man pages
923 - man: maybe sort directives in man pages, and take sections from --help and apply them to man too
924 - document root=gpt-auto properly
927 - add systemctl switch to dump transaction without executing it
928 - Add a verbose mode to "systemctl start" and friends that explains what is being done or not done
929 - "systemctl disable" on a static unit prints no message and does
930 nothing. "systemctl enable" does nothing, and gives a bad message
931 about it. Should fix both to print nice actionable messages.
932 - print nice message from systemctl --failed if there are no entries shown, and hook that into ExecStartPre of rescue.service/emergency.service
933 - add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
934 - systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into does not exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
935 - systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
936 - systemctl status output should include list of triggering units and their status
939 - "systemctl mask" should find all names by which a unit is accessible
940 (i.e. by scanning for symlinks to it) and link them all to /dev/null
943 - timer units should get the ability to trigger when:
945 - Modulate timer frequency based on battery state
947 * add libsystemd-password or so to query passwords during boot using the password agent logic
949 * clean up date formatting and parsing so that all absolute/relative timestamps we format can also be parsed
951 * on shutdown: move utmp, wall, audit logic all into PID 1 (or logind?), get rid of systemd-update-utmp-runlevel
953 * make repeated alt-ctrl-del presses printing a dump
955 * hostnamed: before returning information from /etc/machine-info.conf check the modification data and reread. Similar for localed, ...
957 * currently x-systemd.timeout is lost in the initrd, since crypttab is copied into dracut, but fstab is not
960 - emulate /dev/kmsg using CUSE and turn off the syslog syscall
961 with seccomp. That should provide us with a useful log buffer that
962 systemd can log to during early boot, and disconnect container logs
963 from the kernel's logs.
964 - as soon as networkd has a bus interface, hook up --network-interface=,
965 --network-bridge= with networkd, to trigger netdev creation should an
967 - a nice way to boot up without machine id set, so that it is set at boot
968 automatically for supporting --ephemeral. Maybe hash the host machine id
969 together with the machine name to generate the machine id for the container
970 - fix logic always print a final newline on output.
971 https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/272#issuecomment-113153176
972 - should optionally support receiving WATCHDOG=1 messages from its payload
974 - optionally automatically add FORWARD rules to iptables whenever nspawn is
975 running, remove them when shut down.
978 - refuse mounting over a mount point
979 - automatically discover .roothash files in dissect, similarly to nspawn
982 - add an API so that libvirt-lxc can inform us about network interfaces being
983 removed or added to an existing machine
984 - "machinectl migrate" or similar to copy a container from or to a
985 difference host, via ssh
986 - introduce systemd-nspawn-ephemeral@.service, and hook it into
987 "machinectl start" with a new --ephemeral switch
988 - "machinectl status" should also show internal logs of the container in
990 - "machinectl history"
992 - "machinectl commit" that takes a writable snapshot of a tree, invokes a
993 shell in it, and marks it read-only after use
996 - cryptsetup-generator: allow specification of passwords in crypttab itself
997 - support rd.luks.allow-discards= kernel cmdline params in cryptsetup generator
999 * hw watchdog: optionally try to use the preset watchdog timeout instead of always overriding it
1000 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54712
1002 * add a dependency on standard-conf.xml and other included files to man pages
1004 * MountFlags=shared acts as MountFlags=slave right now.
1006 * properly handle loop back mounts via fstab, especially regards to fsck/passno
1008 * initialize the hostname from the fs label of /, if /etc/hostname does not exist?
1013 - add trigger --subsystem-match=usb/usb_device device
1014 - reimport udev db after MOVE events for devices without dev_t
1016 * There's currently no way to cancel fsck (used to be possible via C-c or c on the console)
1018 * add option to sockets to avoid activation. Instead just drop packets/connections, see http://cyberelk.net/tim/2012/02/15/portreserve-systemd-solution/
1021 - save coredump in Windows/Mozilla minidump format
1022 - when truncating coredumps, also log the full size that the process had, and make a metadata field so we can report truncated coredumps
1024 * support crash reporting operation modes (https://live.gnome.org/GnomeOS/Design/Whiteboards/ProblemReporting)
1026 * be able to specify a forced restart of service A where service B depends on, in case B
1027 needs to be auto-respawned?
1030 - apply "x" on "D" too (see patch from William Douglas)
1031 - instead of ignoring unknown fields, reject them.
1032 - creating new directories/subvolumes/fifos/device nodes
1033 should not follow symlinks. None of the other adjustment or creation
1034 calls follow symlinks.
1036 * make sure systemd-ask-password-wall does not shutdown systemd-ask-password-console too early
1038 * verify that the AF_UNIX sockets of a service in the fs still exist
1039 when we start a service in order to avoid confusion when a user
1040 assumes starting a service is enough to make it accessible
1042 * Make it possible to set the keymap independently from the font on
1043 the kernel cmdline. Right now setting one resets also the other.
1045 * and a dbus call to generate target from current state
1047 * write blog stories about:
1048 - hwdb: what belongs into it, lsusb
1049 - enabling dbus services
1050 - how to make changes to sysctl and sysfs attributes
1052 - how to pass throw-away units to systemd, or dynamically change properties of existing units
1053 - testing with Harald's awesome test kit
1055 - how to develop against journal browsing APIs
1056 - the journal HTTP iface
1057 - non-cgroup resource management
1058 - dynamic resource management with cgroups
1059 - refreshed, longer missions statement
1060 - calendar time events
1061 - init=/bin/sh vs. "emergency" mode, vs. "rescue" mode, vs. "multi-user" mode, vs. "graphical" mode, and the debug shell
1062 - how to create your own target
1063 - instantiated apache, dovecot and so on
1064 - hooking a script into various stages of shutdown/rearly booot
1066 * investigate whether the gnome pty helper should be moved into systemd, to provide cgroup support.
1068 * dot output for --test showing the 'initial transaction'
1071 - When logging about multiple units (stopping BoundTo units, conflicts, etc.),
1072 log both units as UNIT=, so that journalctl -u triggers on both.
1073 - generate better errors when people try to set transient properties
1074 that are not supported...
1075 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-February/028076.html
1076 - maybe introduce WantsMountsFor=? Usecase:
1077 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-January/027729.html
1078 - recreate systemd's D-Bus private socket file on SIGUSR2
1079 - move PAM code into its own binary
1080 - when we automatically restart a service, ensure we restart its rdeps, too.
1081 - hide PAM options in fragment parser when compile time disabled
1082 - Support --test based on current system state
1083 - 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().
1084 - after deserializing sockets in socket.c we should reapply sockopts and things
1085 - drop PID 1 reloading, only do reexecing (difficult: Reload()
1086 currently is properly synchronous, Reexec() is weird, because we
1087 cannot delay the response properly until we are back, so instead of
1088 being properly synchronous we just keep open the fd and close it
1089 when done. That means clients do not get a successful method reply,
1090 but much rather a disconnect on success.
1091 - when breaking cycles drop sysv services first, then services from /run, then from /etc, then from /usr
1092 - when a bus name of a service disappears from the bus make sure to queue further activation requests
1095 - allow port=0 in .socket units
1096 - maybe introduce ExecRestartPre=
1097 - add ReloadSignal= for configuring a reload signal to use
1098 - implement Register= switch in .socket units to enable registration
1099 in Avahi, RPC and other socket registration services.
1100 - allow Type=simple with PIDFile=
1101 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=723942
1102 - allow writing multiple conditions in unit files on one line
1103 - introduce Type=pid-file
1104 - introduce mix of BindTo and Requisite
1105 - add a concept of RemainAfterExit= to scope units
1106 - Allow multiple ExecStart= for all Type= settings, so that we can cover rescue.service nicely
1107 - add verification of [Install] section to systemd-analyze verify
1110 - Make sure ID_PATH is always exported and complete for
1111 network devices where possible, so we can safely rely
1115 - add support for more attribute types
1116 - inbuilt piping support (essentially degenerate async)? see loopback-setup.c and other places
1119 - add more keys to [Route] and [Address] sections
1120 - add support for more DHCPv4 options (and, longer term, other kinds of dynamic config)
1121 - add proper initrd support (in particular generate .network/.link files based on /proc/cmdline)
1122 - add reduced [Link] support to .network files
1123 - add Scope= parsing option for [Network]
1124 - properly handle routerless dhcp leases
1125 - work with non-Ethernet devices
1126 - add support for more bond options
1127 - dhcp: do we allow configuring dhcp routes on interfaces that are not the one we got the dhcp info from?
1128 - the DHCP lease data (such as NTP/DNS) is still made available when
1129 a carrier is lost on a link. It should be removed instantly.
1130 - expose in the API the following bits:
1131 - option 15, domain name and/or option 119, search list
1132 - option 12, host name and/or option 81, fqdn
1133 - option 123, 144, geolocation
1134 - option 252, configure http proxy (PAC/wpad)
1135 - provide a way to define a per-network interface default metric value
1136 for all routes to it. possibly a second default for DHCP routes.
1137 - allow Name= to be specified repeatedly in the [Match] section. Maybe also
1138 support Name=foo*|bar*|baz ?
1139 - duplicate address check for static IPs (like ARPCHECK in network-scripts)
1140 - allow DUID/IAID to be customized, see issue #394.
1141 - whenever uplink info changes, make DHCP server send out FORCERENEW
1143 * networkd-wait-online:
1144 - make operstates to wait for configurable?
1147 - figure out how much we can increase Maximum Message Size
1150 - add functions to set previously stored IPv6 addresses on startup and get
1151 them at shutdown; store them in client->ia_na
1152 - write more test cases
1153 - implement reconfigure support, see 5.3., 15.11. and 22.20.
1154 - implement support for temporary adressess (IA_TA)
1155 - implement dhcpv6 authentication
1156 - investigate the usefulness of Confirm messages; i.e. are there any
1157 situations where the link changes without any loss in carrier detection
1159 - some servers don't do rapid commit without a filled in IA_NA, verify
1166 - natively watch for dbus-*.service symlinks (PENDING)
1167 - teach dbus to activate all services it finds in /etc/systemd/services/org-*.service
1169 * fix alsa mixer restore to not print error when no config is stored
1171 * make cryptsetup lower --iter-time
1173 * patch kernel for xattr support in /dev, /proc/, /sys?
1175 * kernel: add device_type = "fb", "fbcon" to class "graphics"
1177 * /usr/bin/service should actually show the new command line
1179 * 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=
1181 * fedora: F20: go timer units all the way, leave cron.daily for cron
1183 * neither pkexec nor sudo initialize environ[] from the PAM environment?
1185 * fedora: update policy to declare access mode and ownership of unit files to root:root 0644, and add an rpmlint check for it
1187 * register catalog database signature as file magic
1189 * zsh shell completion:
1190 - <command> <verb> -<TAB> should complete options, but currently does not
1191 - systemctl add-wants,add-requires
1193 * systemctl status should know about 'systemd-analyze calendar ... --iterations='
1194 * If timer has just OnInactiveSec=..., it should fire after a specified time
1195 after being started.
1199 * look for close() vs. close_nointr() vs. close_nointr_nofail()
1201 * check for strerror(r) instead of strerror(-r)
1205 * set_put(), hashmap_put() return values check. i.e. == 0 does not free()!
1207 * use secure_getenv() instead of getenv() where appropriate
1209 * link up selected blog stories from man pages and unit files Documentation= fields
1210 String is not UTF-8 clean, ignoring assignment
