* wiki: update journal format documentation for lz4 additions
-* When lz4 gets an API for lz4 command output, make use of it to
- compress coredumps in a way compatible with /usr/bin/lz4.
+Janitorial Clean-ups:
+
+* code cleanup: retire FOREACH_WORD_QUOTED, port to extract_first_word() loops instead
+
+* replace manual readdir() loops with FOREACH_DIRENT or FOREACH_DIRENT_ALL
+
+* Get rid of the last strerror() invocations in favour of %m and strerror_r()
+
+* Rearrange tests so that the various test-xyz.c match a specific src/basic/xyz.c again
Features:
+* PID1: find a way how we can reload unit file configuration for
+ specific units only, without reloading the whole of systemd
+
+* For services: replace the default Requires=basic.target with After=basic.target + Requires=sysinit.target.
+
+* drop "Overridable" dependency types
+
+* document precise effect of DefaultDependencies=yes
+
+* add an explicit parser for LimitNICE= and LimitRTPRIO= that verifies
+ the specified range and generates sane error messages for incorrect
+ specifications. Also, for LimitNICE= maybe introduce a syntax such
+ as "+5" or "-7" in order to make the limits more readable as they
+ are otherwise shifted by 20.
+
+* do something about "/control" subcgroups in the unified cgroup hierarchy
+
+* when we detect that there are waiting jobs but no running jobs, do something
+
+* push CPUAffinity also into the "cpuset" cgroup controller (only after the cpuset controller got ported to the unified hierarchy)
+
+* add a concept of RemainAfterExit= to scope units
+
+* add a new command "systemctl revert" or so, that removes all dropin
+ snippets in /run and /etc, and all unit files with counterparts in
+ /usr, and thus undoes what "systemctl set-property" and "systemctl
+ edit" create. Maybe even add "systemctl revert -a" to do this for
+ all units.
+
* sd-event: maybe add support for inotify events
* PID 1 should send out sd_notify("WATCHDOG=1") messages (for usage in the --user mode, and when run via nspawn)
prefixed with /sys generally special.
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-June/032962.html
-* Add PassEnvironment= setting to service units, to import select env vars from PID 1 into the service env block
-
* nspawn: fix logic always print a final newline on output.
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/272#issuecomment-113153176
* man: document that unless you use StandardError=null the shell >/dev/stderr won't work in shell scripts in services
-* man: clarify that "machinectl show" shows different information than "machinectl status" (no cgroup tree, no IP addresses, ...)
-
* "systemctl daemon-reload" should result in /etc/systemd/system.conf being reloaded by systemd
* install: include generator dirs in unit file search paths
* .timer units should optionally support CLOCK_BOOTTIME in addition to CLOCK_MONOTONIC
-* create a btrfs qgroup for /var/lib/machines, and add all container
- subvolumes we create to it.
-
* When logging about multiple units (stopping BoundTo units, conflicts, etc.),
log both units as UNIT=, so that journalctl -u triggers on both.
that are not supported...
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-February/028076.html
-* Introduce $LISTEN_NAMES to complement $LISTEN_FDS, containing a
- colon separated list of identifiers for the fds passed.
-
* maybe introduce WantsMountsFor=? Usecase:
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-January/027729.html
-* rework kexec logic to use new kexec_file_load() syscall, so that we
- don't have to call kexec tool anymore.
-
* The udev blkid built-in should expose a property that reflects
whether media was sensed in USB CF/SD card readers. This should then
be used to control SYSTEMD_READY=1/0 so that USB card readers aren't
* networkd/udev: implement SR_IOV configuration in .link files:
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-January/027451.html
-* When RLIMIT_NPROC is set from a unit file it currently always is set
- for root, not for the user set in User=, which makes it
- useless. After fixing this, set RLIMIT_NPROC for
- systemd-journal-xyz, and all other of our services that run under
- their own user ids, and use User= (but only in a world where userns
- is ubiquitous since otherwise we cannot invoke those daemons on the
- host AND in a container anymore). Also, if LimitNPROC= is used
- without User= we should warn and refuse operation.

* logind: maybe allow configuration of the StopTimeout for session scopes
* Find a solution for SMACK capabilities stuff:
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-December/026188.html
-* port libmount hookup to use API's own inotify interface, as soon as that is table in libmount
-
* "systemctl preset-all" should probably order the unit files it
operates on lexicographically before starting to work, in order to
ensure deterministic behaviour if two unit files conflict (like DMs
* maybe add support for specifier expansion in user.conf, specifically DefaultEnvironment=
-* code cleanup: retire FOREACH_WORD_QUOTED, port to extract_first_word() loops instead
-
* introduce systemd-timesync-wait.service or so to sync on an NTP fix?
* systemd --user should issue sd_notify() upon reaching basic.target, not on becoming idle
* maybe do not install getty@tty1.service symlink in /etc but in /usr?
-* fstab: add new mount option x-systemd-after=/foobar/waldo to allow manual dependencies to other mount points
- https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=812826
-
* print a nicer explanation if people use variable/specifier expansion in ExecStart= for the first word
* mount: turn dependency information from /proc/self/mountinfo into dependency information between systemd units.
- add API to close/reopen/get fd for journal client fd in libsystemd-journal.
- fallback to /dev/log based logging in libsystemd-journal, if we cannot log natively?
- declare the local journal protocol stable in the wiki interface chart
- - journal: reuse XZ context
- sd-journal: speed up sd_journal_get_data() with transparent hash table in bg
- journald: when dropping msgs due to ratelimit make sure to write
"dropped %u messages" not only when we are about to print the next
- document systemd-journal-flush.service properly
- documentation: recommend to connect the timer units of a service to the service via Also= in [Install]
- man: document the very specific env the shutdown drop-in tools live in
- - man: extend runlevel(8) to mention that runlevels suck, and are dead. Maybe add runlevel(7) with a note about that too
- man: add more examples to man pages
- man: maybe sort directives in man pages, and take sections from --help and apply them to man too
- add Scope= parsing option for [Network]
- properly handle routerless dhcp leases
- add more attribute support for SIT tunnel
- - work with non-ethernet devices
+ - work with non-Ethernet devices
- add support for more bond options
* networkd-wait-online:
* dbus: in fedora, make /var/lib/dbus/machine-id a symlink to /etc/machine-id
-* add "# export SYSTEMD_PAGER=" to bash login
-
* /usr/bin/service should actually show the new command line
* 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=
