update TODO

[thirdparty/systemd.git] / TODO

* drop IN_ATTRIB from inotify watches for .path units where possible to avoid
  lots of wakeups due to /dev changing when we watch a subdir of /dev.

* Support ProcessNeededForShutdown=true to allow stuff like mdmon
  to br killed very late after the rootfs is read only

* Integrate "mdadm --wait-clean". Maybe just let SIGTERM to mdmon trigger the
  needed action

* bind mounts with 'fsck' fail and block for a minute:
    /foo /bar none bind 1 1
  (requesting fsck is wrong, but why do we block for a minute
   instead of just handling the error)

* oneshot services which do not remain: 'exited' instead of 'dead'?
  it should be visible in 'systemctl' that they have been run

* dot output for --test showing the 'initial transaction'

* calendar time support in timer, iCalendar semantics for the timer stuff (RFC2445)
  - check timerfd() patch: http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/11/23/290

* systemd --user
  - get PR_SET_ANCHOR merged: http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/2/2/165

* add VT tracking:
    - provide CK functionality
    - start getty only when actual vt switch happens (same model as
      socket on-demand activation). allocate the next free tty and
      start a getty there. this way, pressing alt-f[1-12] will switch
      through running X and getty sessions, and any unallocated
      activated tty will start a new getty. the hardcoding of
      getty[1-6] will entirely go away.

* implicitly import "defaults" settings file into all types

* port over to LISTEN_FDS/LISTEN_PID:
   - uuidd    DONE
   - dbus     DONE
   - rsyslog  DONE
   - rpcbind (/var/run/rpcbind.sock!) DONE
   - cups     DONE
   - avahi-daemon (/var/run/avahi-daemon/socket) DONE
   - ssh      CLASSIC
   - postfix, saslauthd
   - apache/samba
   - libvirtd (/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock-ro)
   - bluetoothd (/var/run/sdp! @/org/bluez/audio!)
   - distccd

* fingerprint.target, wireless.target, gps.target

* set_put(), hashmap_put() return values check. i.e. == 0 doesn't free()!

* io priority during initialization

* if a service fails too often, make the service enter failed mode, and the socket, too.

* systemctl list-jobs - show dependencies

* accountsservice is borked

* auditd service files

* add systemctl switch to dump transaction without executing it

* suspend, resume

* systemctl auto-pager a la git

* readahead: btrfs/LVM SSD detection

* when processes remain in a service even though the start command failed enter active

* add seperate man page for [Install] settings

* only add quotacheck deps to .mount units which mention grpquota/usrquota in the mount flags

* systemctl condrestart should return 0 if service isn't running

* tmpfiles: allow specification of .conf files on cmdline

* allow runtime changing of log level and target

* automatically determine TERM= based on tty name even for /dev/console

* fix hotplug transactions

* isolate multi-user.target doesn't start a getty@tty1 if we run it from graphical.target

* sendmail.service doesn't get rid PID file, fails to kill everything on stop

* global defaults for StandardOuput=xxx

* Make EnvironmentFile=-/fooobar/waldo ingnore errors while reading /foobar/waldo

* mkswap/mke2fs is called on wrong devices in crypto devices.

Fedora:

* obsolete readhead in systemd pkg

* chkconfig → systemd enable/daemon-reload glue

* /var/lock, /var/run → what happens if rpm stuff is no %ghosted?

External:

* make cryptsetup lower --iter-time

* patch kernel for xattr support in /dev, /proc/, /sys and /sys/fs/cgroup.

* patch kernel for cpu feature modalias for autoloading aes/kvm/...

* place /etc/inittab with explaining blurb.

* pam_securetty should honour console=

* procps, psmisc, sysvinit-tools, hostname → util-linux-ng

Regularly:

* look for close() vs. close_nointr() vs. close_nointr_nofail()

* check for strerror(r) instead of strerror(-r)

* Use PR_SET_PROCTITLE_AREA if it becomes available in the kernel

* %m in printf() instead of strerror();

* pahole

* CFLAGS="-Wl,--gc-sections -Wl,--print-gc-sections -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections"
