3 * swap units that are activated by one name but shown in the kernel under another are semi-broken
5 * NFS, networkmanager ordering issue (PENDING)
7 * NM should pull in network.target (PENDING)
8 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=692008
10 * ntpd should pull in time-sync.target. (PENDING)
12 * bluetooth should be possible to disable (PENDING)
14 * add fstab fields to add wait timeouts, change Wants to Requires by local-fs.target
16 * hook emergency.target into local-fs.target in some way as OnFailure with isolate, add warning log message
18 * bind mounts are ignored
19 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=682662
21 * 0595f9a1c182a84581749823ef47c5f292e545f9 is borked, freezes shutdown
22 (path: after installing inotify watches, recheck file again to fix race)
24 * active_enter timestamps borked?
28 * fix alsa mixer restore to not print error when no config is stored
30 * don't trim empty cgroups
31 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=678555
33 * show enablement status in systemctl status
35 * write blog stories about:
36 - chroot, nspawn and friends
37 - the blame game: systemd-analyze
38 - enabling dbus services
41 * allow port = 0 in .socket units
43 * rename systemd-logger to systemd-stdio-syslog-bridge
45 * introduce /usr/lib/binfmt.d/, /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/
47 * in pam_systemd: don't rely on /proc/self/loginuid in a container (check if audit caps are there)
49 * take BSD file lock on tty devices when using them?
51 * tmpfiles should allow two identical lines
52 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=690253
54 * avoid any flag files, or readahead files in /, we need to support r/o /
55 or / on tmpfs like Android setups.
57 * teach dbus to activate all services it finds in /etc/systemd/services/org-*.service
59 * get process transport into dbus for systemctl -P/-H
61 * document default dependencies
63 * support systemd.whitelist=/systemd.blacklist= on the kernel command
66 * Find a way to replace /var/run, /var/lock directories with
67 symlinks during an RPM package upgrade (filesystem.rpm or systemd.rpm).
68 We soon want to get rid of var-run.mount var-lock.mount units.
70 * when key file cannot be found, read it from kbd in cryptsetup
72 * add switch to systemctl to show enabled but not running services. Or
73 another switch that shows service that have been running since
74 booting but aren't running anymore.
76 * reuse mkdtemp namespace dirs in /tmp?
78 * don't strip facility from kmsg log messages as soon as that is possible:
79 http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=9d90c8d9cde929cbc575098e825d7c29d9f45054
81 * recreate systemd's D-Bus private socket file on SIGUSR2
83 * be more specific what failed:
85 Unmounting file systems.
86 Not all file systems unmounted, 1 left.
88 Detaching loop devices.
90 Cannot finalize remaining file systems and devices, trying to kill remaining processes.
91 Unmounting file systems.
92 Not all file systems unmounted, 1 left.
93 Cannot finalize remaining file systems and devices, giving up.
96 * check for compiled-in, but not active selinux, and don't print any warnings
97 about policy loading. Probably check for available selinux in /proc/filesystems,
98 and check for active selinux with getcon_raw() == "kernel"
100 * optionally create watched directories in .path units
102 * Support --test based on current system state
104 * consider services with no [Install] section and stored in /lib enabled by "systemctl is-enabled"
106 * consider services with any kind of link in /etc/systemd/system enabled
108 * show failure error string in "systemctl status"
110 * make sure timeouts are applied to Type=oneshot services.
112 * Maybe implement "systemctl mask" and "systemctl unmask", but not
113 document it? When doing that add switch to make this temporary by
114 placing mask links in /dev.
115 Consider moving the actual fs operations into systemd behind a D-Bus
116 interface, to make namespaces/containers/remote connections work properly.
118 * detect LXC environment
120 * invoke vhangup() before and after invoking getty
121 http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=3c95c985fa91ecf6a0e29622bbdd13dcfc5ce9f1
123 * support "auto" and "comment=systemd.automount" at the same time for an fstab entry
125 * Maybe store in unit files whether a service should be enabled by default on package installation
126 (belongs into a distro pattern though, not in an upstream package's service file)
128 * perhaps add "systemctl reenable" as combination of "systemctl disable" and "systemctl enable"
130 * need a way to apply mount options of api vfs from systemd unit files
131 (or some other modern source?) instead of fstab
133 * maybe introduce ExecRestartPre=
135 * figure out what happened to bluez patch
137 * Patch systemd-fsck to use -C and pass console fd to it
139 * support remote/ssh systemctl/systemadm, and local privileged access → dbus patches need to be merged
141 * configurable jitter for timer events
143 * Support ProcessNeededForShutdown=true to allow stuff like mdmon
144 to be killed very late after the rootfs is read only (?)
146 * Integrate "mdadm --wait-clean". Maybe just let SIGTERM to mdmon trigger the
149 * dot output for --test showing the 'initial transaction'
151 * calendar time support in timer, iCalendar semantics for the timer stuff (RFC2445)
152 - check timerfd() patch: http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/11/23/290
155 - get PR_SET_ANCHOR merged: http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/2/2/165
158 - provide CK functionality
159 - start getty only when actual vt switch happens (same model as
160 socket on-demand activation). allocate the next free tty and
161 start a getty there. this way, pressing alt-f[1-12] will switch
162 through running X and getty sessions, and any unallocated
163 activated tty will start a new getty. the hardcoding of
164 getty[1-6] will entirely go away.
165 - http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/gregkh/tty-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=fbc92a3455577ab17615cbcb91826399061bd789
167 * implicitly import "defaults" settings file into all types
169 * port over to LISTEN_FDS/LISTEN_PID:
171 - rpcbind (/var/run/rpcbind.sock!) HAVEPATCH
175 - libvirtd (/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock-ro)
176 - bluetoothd (/var/run/sdp! @/org/bluez/audio!)
179 * fingerprint.target, wireless.target, gps.target, netdevice.target
181 * set_put(), hashmap_put() return values check. i.e. == 0 doesn't free()!
183 * io priority during initialization
185 * if a service fails too often, make the service enter failed mode, and the socket, too.
187 * systemctl list-jobs - show dependencies
189 * accountsservice is borked
191 * auditd service files
193 * add systemctl switch to dump transaction without executing it
195 * suspend, resume support?
197 * readahead: btrfs/LVM SSD detection
199 * add separate man page for [Install] settings
201 * allow runtime changing of log level and target
205 * udisks should not use udisks-part-id, instead use blkid. also not probe /dev/loopxxx
207 * snd-seq should go, https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=676095
209 * gnome-shell python script/glxinfo/is-accelerated must die
211 * make cryptsetup lower --iter-time
213 * patch kernel for xattr support in /dev, /proc/, /sys and /sys/fs/cgroup.
215 * patch kernel for cpu feature modalias for autoloading aes/kvm/...
216 http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/ak/linux-misc-2.6.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/cpuid-match
217 (Rafael J. Wysocki's sysdev rework is on the way. After that CPUs can be exported a proper bus.)
219 * procps, psmisc, sysvinit-tools, hostname → util-linux-ng

242 * look for close() vs. close_nointr() vs. close_nointr_nofail()
244 * check for strerror(r) instead of strerror(-r)
246 * Use PR_SET_PROCTITLE_AREA if it becomes available in the kernel
248 * %m in printf() instead of strerror();
252 * CFLAGS="-Wl,--gc-sections -Wl,--print-gc-sections -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections"
