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
23 devices. (see: https://github.com/mjec/fido2-hmac-secret)
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 * cryptsetup: allow encoding key directly in /etc/crypttab, maybe with a
47 "base64:" prefix. Useful in particular for pkcs11 mode.
49 * socket units: allow creating a udev monitor socket with ListenDevices= or so,
50 with matches, then actviate app thorugh that passing socket oveer
53 - port sd_id128_get_machine_app_specific() over from khash
54 - port resolved over from libgcrypt (DNSSEC code)
55 - port journald + fsprg over from libgcrypt
56 - port importd over from libgcrypt
57 - when that's done: kill khash.c
58 - when that's done: kill gnutls support in resolved
60 * kill zenata, all hail weblate?
62 * when we resize disks (homed?) always round up to 4K sectors, not 512K
64 * add growvol and makevol options for /etc/crypttab, similar to
65 x-systemd.growfs and x-systemd-makefs.
67 * hook up the TPM to /etc/crypttab, with a new option that is similar to the
68 new PKCS#11 option in crypttab, and allows unlocking a LUKS volume via a key
69 unsealed from the TPM. Optionally, if TPM is not available fall back to
70 TPM-less mode, and set up linear DM mapping instead (inspired by kpartx), so
71 that the device paths stay the same, regardless if crypto is used or not.
73 * systemd-repart: by default generate minimized partition tables (i.e. tables
74 that only covere the space actually used, excluding any free space at the
75 end), in order to maximize dd'ability. Requires libfdisk work, see
76 https://github.com/karelzak/util-linux/issues/907
78 * systemd-repart: optionally, allow specifiying a path to initialize new
79 partitions from, i.e. an fs image file or a source device node. This would
80 then turn systemd-repart into a simple installer: with a few .repart files
81 you could replicate the host system on another device. a full installer would
82 then be: "systemd-repart /dev/sda && bootctl install /dev/sda &&
83 systemd-firstboot --image= …"
85 * systemd-repart: MBR partition table support. Care needs to be taken regarding
86 Type=, so that partition definitions can sanely apply to both the GPT and the
87 MBR case. Idea: accept syntax "Type=gpt:home mbr:0x83" for setting the types
88 for the two partition types explicitly. And provide an internal mapping so
89 that "Type=linux-generic" maps to the right types for both partition tables
92 * systemd-repart: allow sizing partitions as factor of available RAM, so that
93 we can reasonably size swap partitions for hibernation.
95 * systemd-repart: allow running mkfs before making partitions pop up +
96 encryption via LUKS to allow booting into an empty root with only /usr mounted in
98 * systemd-repart: allow managing the gpt read-only partition flag + auto-mount flag
100 * systemd-repart: allow disabling growing of specific partitions, or making
101 them (think ESP: we don't ever want to grow it, since we cannot resize vfat)
103 * systemd-repart: add specifier expansion, add especifier that refers to root
104 device node of current system, /usr device node, and matching verity, so that
105 an installer can be made a "copy" installer of the booted OS
107 * systemd-repart: make it a static checker during early boot for existence and
108 absence of other partitions for trusted boot environments
110 * systemd-repart: when no configuration is found, exit early do not check
111 partition table, so that it is safe to run in the initrd on any system
113 * systemd-repart: allow config of partition uuid
115 * userdb: allow username prefix searches in varlink API
117 * userdb: allow existence checks
119 * pid: activation by journal search expression
121 * when switching root from initrd to host, set the machine_id env var so that
122 if the host has no machine ID set yet we continue to use the random one the
125 * sd-event: add native support for P_ALL waitid() watching, then move PID 1 to
126 it fo reaping assigned but unknown children. This needs to some special care
127 to operate somewhat sensibly in light of priorities: P_ALL will return
128 arbitrary processes, regardless of the priority we want to watch them with,
129 hence on each event loop iteration check all processes which we shall watch
130 with higher prio explicitly, and then watch the entire rest with P_ALL.
132 * tweak sd-event's child watching: keep a prioq of children to watch and use
133 waitid() only on the children with the highest priority until one is waitable
134 and ignore all lower-prio ones from that point on
136 * maybe introduce xattrs that can be set on the root dir of the root fs
137 partition that declare the volatility mode to use the image in. Previously I
138 thought marking this via GPT partition flags but that's not ideal since
139 that's outside of the LUKS encryption/verity verification, and we probably
140 shouldn't operate in a volatile mode unless we got told so from a trusted
143 * figure out automatic partition discovery when combining writable root dir
146 * coredump: maybe when coredumping read a new xattr from /proc/$PID/exe that
147 may be used to mark a whole binary as non-coredumpable. Would fix:
148 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=69447
150 * teach parse_timestamp() timezones like the calendar spec already knows it
152 * beef up hibernation to optionally do swapon/swapoff immediately before/after
155 * beef up s2h to implement a battery watch loop: instead of entering
156 hibernation unconditionally after coming back from resume make a decision
157 based on the battery load level: if battery level is above a specific
158 threshold, go to suspend again, only hibernate if below it. This means we'd
159 stick to suspend usually, but fall back to hibernation only when battery runs
160 empty (well, subject to our sampling interval). Related to this, check if we
161 can make ACPI _BTP (i.e. /sys/class/power_supply/*/alarm) work for us too,
162 i.e. see if it can wake up machines from suspend, so that we could resume
163 automatically when the system is low on power and move automatically to
164 hibernation mode. (see
165 https://uefi.org/sites/default/files/resources/ACPI%206_2_A_Sept29.pdf
167 https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/design/device-experiences/modern-standby-wake-sources
170 * add an explicit "vertical" mode to format-table, so that "systemctl
171 status"-like outputs (i.e. with a series of field names left and values
172 right) become genuine first class citizens, and we gain automatic, sane JSON
175 * dissector: invoke fsck on the file systems we encounter, after all ext4 is
176 still pretty popular (and we mount the ESP too with it after all, which is
179 * systemd-firstboot: teach it dissector magic, so that you can point it to some
180 disk image and it will just set everything in it all behind the scenes.
182 * systemd-firstboot: add --force mode that replaces existing configuration.
184 * We should probably replace /var/log/README, /etc/rc.d/README with symlinks
185 that are linked to these places instead of copied. After all they are
186 constant vendor data.
188 * maybe add kernel cmdline params: 1) to force first-boot mode + 2) to force
189 random seed crediting
191 * nspawn: on cgroupsv1 issue cgroup empty handler process based on host events,
192 so that we make cgroup agent logic safe
194 * nspawn/machined: add API to invoke binary in container, then use that as
195 fallback in "machinectl shell"
197 * logind: rework pam_logind to also do a bus call in case of invocation from
198 user@.service, which returns the XDG_RUNTIME_DIR value, and make this
199 behaviour selectable via pam module option.
202 - when user tries to log into record signed by unrecognized key, automatically add key to our chain after polkit auth
203 - hook up machined/nspawn users with a varlink user query interface
204 - rollback when resize fails mid-operation
205 - GNOME's side for forget key on suspend (requires rework so that lock screen runs outside of uid)
208 - shrink fs on logout?
209 - update LUKS password on login if we find there's a password that unlocks the JSON record but not the LUKS device.
210 - create on activate?
211 - properties: icon url?, preferred session type?, administrator bool (which translates to 'wheel' membership)?, address?, telephone?, vcard?, samba stuff?, parental controls?
212 - communicate clearly when usb stick is safe to remove. probably involves
213 beefing up logind to make pam session close hook synchronous and wait until
214 systemd --user is shut down.
215 - logind: maybe keep a "busy fd" as long as there's a non-released session around or the user@.service
216 - maybe make automatic, read-only, time-based reflink-copies of LUKS disk images (think: time machine)
217 - distuingish destroy / remove (i.e. currently we can unregister a user, unregister+remove their home directory, but not just remove their home directory)
218 - in systemd's PAMName= logic: query passwords with ssh-askpassword, so that we can make "loginctl set-linger" mode work
219 - fingerprint authentication, pattern authentication, …
220 - make sure "classic" user records can also be managed by homed
221 - description field for groups
222 - make size of $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR configurable in user record
223 - reuse pwquality magic in firstboot
224 - query password from kernel keyring first
225 - update even if record is "absent"
226 - add a "access mode" + "fstype" field to the "status" section of json identity records reflecting the actually used access mode and fstype, even on non-luks backends
227 - move acct mgmt stuff from pam_systemd_home to pam_systemd?
228 - when "homectl --pkcs11-token-uri=" is used, synthesize ssh-authorized-keys records for all keys we have private keys on the stick for
229 - make slice for users configurable (requires logind rework)
230 - logind: populate auto-login list bus property from PKCS#11 token
231 - when determining state of a LUKS home directory, check DM suspended sysfs file
233 * introduce a new per-process uuid, similar to the boot id, the machine id, the
234 invocation id, that is derived from process creds, specifically a hashed
235 combination of AT_RANDOM + getpid() + the starttime from
236 /proc/self/status. Then add these ids implicitly when logging. Deriving this
237 uuid from these three things has the benefit that it can be derived easily
238 from /proc/$PID/ in a stable, and unique way that changes on both fork() and
241 * let's not GC a unit while its ratelimits are still pending
243 * when killing due to service watchdog timeout maybe detect whether target
244 process is under ptracing and then log loudly and continue instead.
246 * introduce a new group to own TPM devices
248 * make rfkill uaccess controllable by default, i.e. steal rule from
249 gnome-bluetooth and friends
251 * tweak journald context caching. In addition to caching per-process attributes
252 keyed by PID, cache per-cgroup attributes (i.e. the various xattrs we read)
253 keyed by cgroup path, and guarded by ctime changes. This should provide us
254 with a nice speed-up on services that have many processes running in the same
257 * make MAINPID= message reception checks even stricter: if service uses User=,
258 then check sending UID and ignore message if it doesn't match the user or
261 * maybe trigger a uevent "change" on a device if "systemctl reload xyz.device"
264 * when importing an fs tree with machined, optionally apply userns-rec-chown
266 * when importing an fs tree with machined, complain if image is not an OS
268 * Maybe introduce a helper safe_exec() or so, which is to execve() which
269 safe_fork() is to fork(). And then make revert the RLIMIT_NOFILE soft limit
270 to 1K implicitly, unless explicitly opted-out.
272 * rework seccomp/nnp logic that even if User= is used in combination with
273 a seccomp option we don't have to set NNP. For that, change uid first whil
274 keeping CAP_SYS_ADMIN, then apply seccomp, the drop cap.
276 * add a concept for automatically loading per-unit secrets off disk and
277 inserting them into the kernel keyring. Maybe SecretsDirectory= similar to
278 ConfigurationDirectory=.
280 * when no locale is configured, default to UEFI's PlatformLang variable
282 * bootctl,sd-boot: actually honour the "architecture" key
284 * add a new syscall group "@esoteric" for more esoteric stuff such as bpf() and
285 usefaultd() and make systemd-analyze check for it.
287 * paranoia: whenever we process passwords, call mlock() on the memory
288 first. i.e. look for all places we use free_and_erasep() and
289 augment them with mlock(). Also use MADV_DONTDUMP.
291 * Move RestrictAddressFamily= to the new cgroup create socket
293 * support the bind/connect/sendmsg cgroup stuff for sandboxing, and possibly
296 * maybe implicitly attach monotonic+realtime timestamps to outgoing messages in
297 log.c and sd-journal-send
299 * optionally: turn on cgroup delegation for per-session scope units
301 * introduce per-unit (i.e. per-slice, per-service) journal log size limits.
303 * sd-boot: automatically load EFI modules from some drop-in dir, so that people
304 can add in file system drivers and such
306 * sd-boot: optionally, show boot menu when previous default boot item has
307 non-zero "tries done" count
309 * introduce an option (or replacement) for "systemctl show" that outputs all
310 properties as JSON, similar to busctl's new JSON output. In contrast to that
311 it should skip the variant type string though.
313 * augment CODE_FILE=, CODE_LINE= with something like CODE_BASE= or so which
314 contains some identifier for the project, which allows us to include
315 clickable links to source files generating these log messages. The identifier
316 could be some abberviated URL prefix or so (taking inspiration from Go
317 imports). For example, for systemd we could use
318 CODE_BASE=github.com/systemd/systemd/blob/98b0b1123cc or so which is
319 sufficient to build a link by prefixing "http://" and suffixing the
322 * Augment MESSAGE_ID with MESSAGE_BASE, in a similar fashion so that we can
323 make clickable links from log messages carrying a MESSAGE_ID, that lead to
324 some explanatory text online.
326 * maybe extend .path units to expose fanotify() per-mount change events
328 * Add a "systemctl list-units --by-slice" mode or so, which rearranges the
329 output of "systemctl list-units" slightly by showing the tree structure of
330 the slices, and the units attached to them.
332 * the a-posteriori stopping of units bound to units that disappeared logic
333 should be reworked: there should be a queue of units, and we should only
334 enqeue stop jobs from a defer event that processes queue instead of
335 right-away when we find a unit that is bound to one that doesn't exist
336 anymore. (similar to how the stop-unneeded queue has been reworked the same
339 * nspawn: make nspawn suitable for shell pipelines: instead of triggering a
340 hangup when input is finished, send ^D, which synthesizes an EOF. Then wait
341 for hangup or ^D before passing on the EOF.
343 * When reloading configuration PID 1 should reset all its properties to the
344 original defaults before calling parse_config()
346 * nspawn: greater control over selinux label?
348 * hibernate/s2h: make this robust and safe to enable in Fedora by default.
351 1. add resume_offset support to the resume code (i.e. support swap files
353 2. check if swap is on weird storage and refuse if so
354 3. add auto-detection of hibernation images
356 * cgroups: use inotify to get notified when somebody else modifies cgroups
357 owned by us, then log a friendly warning.
359 * beef up log.c with support for stripping ANSI sequences from strings, so that
360 it is OK to include them in log strings. This would be particularly useful so
361 that our log messages could contain clickable links for example for unit
362 files and suchlike we operate on.
364 * add support for "portablectl attach http://foobar.com/waaa.raw (i.e. importd integration)
366 * add attach --enable and attach --now (for attach+enable+start)
368 * sync dynamic uids/gids between host+portable srvice (i.e. if DynamicUser=1 is set for a service, make sure that the
369 selected user is resolvable in the service even if it ships its own /etc/passwd)
371 * Fix DECIMAL_STR_MAX or DECIMAL_STR_WIDTH. One includes a trailing NUL, the
372 other doesn't. What a disaster. Probably to exclude it. Also
373 DECIMAL_STR_WIDTH should probably add an extra "-" into account for negative
376 * Check that users of inotify's IN_DELETE_SELF flag are using it properly, as
377 usually IN_ATTRIB is the right way to watch deleted files, as the former only
378 fires when a file is actually removed from disk, i.e. the link count drops to
379 zero and is not open anymore, while the latter happens when a file is
380 unlinked from any dir.
382 * port systemctl, busctl, … over to format-table.[ch]'s table formatters
384 * pid1: lock image configured with RootDirectory=/RootImage= using the usual nspawn semantics while the unit is up
386 * add --vacuum-xyz options to coredumpctl, matching those journalctl already has.
388 * introduce Ephemeral= unit file switch, that creates an ephemeral copy of all
389 files and directories that are left writable for a unit, and which are
390 removed after the unit goes down again. A bit like --ephemeral for
391 systemd-nspawn but for system services. If used together with RootImage= this
392 should reflink the image file itself.
394 Related: add Ephemeral=<path1> <path2> … which would allow marking
395 specific paths only like this.
397 * add CopyFile= or so as unit file setting that may be used to copy files or
398 directory trees from the host to the services RootImage= and RootDirectory=
399 environment. Which we can use for /etc/machine-id and in particular
400 /etc/resolv.conf. Should be smart and do something useful on read-only
401 images, for example fallback to read-only bind mounting the file instead.
403 * show invocation ID in systemd-run output
405 * bypass SIGTERM state in unit files if KillSignal is SIGKILL
407 * add proper dbus APIs for the various sd_notify() commands, such as MAINPID=1
408 and so on, which would mean we could report errors and such.
410 * teach tmpfiles.d q/Q logic something sensible in the context of XFS/ext4
413 * introduce DefaultSlice= or so in system.conf that allows changing where we
414 place our units by default, i.e. change system.slice to something
415 else. Similar, ManagerSlice= should exist so that PID1's own scope unit could
416 be moved somewhere else too. Finally machined and logind should get similar
417 options so that it is possible to move user session scopes and machines to a
418 different slice too by default. Usecase: people who want to put resources on
419 the entire system, with the exception of one specific service. See:
420 https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2018-February/040369.html
422 * maybe rework get_user_creds() to query the user database if $SHELL is used
423 for root, but only then.
425 * be stricter with fds we receive for the fdstore: close them asynchronously
427 * calenderspec: add support for week numbers and day numbers within a
428 year. This would allow us to define "bi-weekly" triggers safely.
430 * sd-bus: add vtable flag, that may be used to request client creds implicitly
431 and asynchronously before dispatching the operation
433 * make use of ethtool veth peer info in machined, for automatically finding out
434 host-side interface pointing to the container.
436 * add some special mode to LogsDirectory=/StateDirectory=… that allows
437 declaring these directories without necessarily pulling in deps for them, or
438 creating them when starting up. That way, we could declare that
439 systemd-journald writes to /var/log/journal, which could be useful when we
440 doing disk usage calculations and so on.
442 * taint systemd if there are fewer than 65536 users assigned (userns) to the system.
444 * deprecate RootDirectoryStartOnly= in favour of a new ExecStart= prefix char
446 * add a new RuntimeDirectoryPreserve= mode that defines a similar lifecycle for
447 the runtime dir as we maintain for the fdstore: i.e. keep it around as long
448 as the unit is running or has a job queued.
450 * support projid-based quota in machinectl for containers
452 * maybe use SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH (i.e. the env var the reproducible builds folks
453 introduced) as the RTC epoch, instead of the mtime of NEWS.
455 * add a way to lock down cgroup migration: a boolean, which when set for a unit
456 makes sure the processes in it can never migrate out of it
458 * blog about fd store and restartable services
460 * document Environment=SYSTEMD_LOG_LEVEL=debug drop-in in debugging document
462 * rework ExecOutput and ExecInput enums so that EXEC_OUTPUT_NULL loses its
463 magic meaning and is no longer upgraded to something else if set explicitly.
465 * in the long run: permit a system with /etc/machine-id linked to /dev/null, to
466 make it lose its identity, i.e. be anonymous. For this we'd have to patch
467 through the whole tree to make all code deal with the case where no machine
470 * optionally, collect cgroup resource data, and store it in per-unit RRD files,
471 suitable for processing with rrdtool. Add bus API to access this data, and
472 possibly implement a CPULoad property based on it.
474 * beef up pam_systemd to take unit file settings such as cgroups properties as
477 * maybe hook of xfs/ext4 quotactl() with services? i.e. automatically manage
478 the quota of a the user indicated in User= via unit file settings, like the
479 other resource management concepts. Would mix nicely with DynamicUser=1. Or
480 alternatively, do this with projids, so that we can also cover services
481 running as root. Quota should probably cover all the special dirs such as
482 StateDirectory=, LogsDirectory=, CacheDirectory=, as well as RootDirectory= if it
483 is set, plus the whole disk space any image configured with RootImage=.
485 * In DynamicUser= mode: before selecting a UID, use disk quota APIs on relevant
486 disks to see if the UID is already in use.
488 * add "systemctl wait" or so, which does what "systemd-run --wait" does, but
489 for all units. It should be both a way to pin units into memory as well as a
490 wait to retrieve their exit data.
492 * expose IO accounting data on the bus, show it in systemd-run --wait and log
493 about it in the resource log message
495 * show whether a service has out-of-date configuration in "systemctl status" by
496 using mtime data of ConfigurationDirectory=.
498 * Add AddUser= setting to unit files, similar to DynamicUser=1 which however
499 creates a static, persistent user rather than a dynamic, transient user. We
500 can leverage code from sysusers.d for this.
502 * add some optional flag to ReadWritePaths= and friends, that has the effect
503 that we create the dir in question when the service is started. Example:
505 ReadWritePaths=:/var/lib/foobar
507 * maybe add call sd_journal_set_block_timeout() or so to set SO_SNDTIMEO for
508 the sd-journal logging socket, and, if the timeout is set to 0, sets
509 O_NONBLOCK on it. That way people can control if and when to block for
512 * hostnamed: populate form factor data from a new hwdb database, so that old
513 yogas can be recognized as "convertible" too, even if they predate the DMI
514 "convertible" form factor
516 * Maybe add PrivatePIDs= as new unit setting, and do minimal PID namespacing
517 after all. Be strict however, only support the equivalent of nspawn's
518 --as-pid2 switch, and sanely proxy sd_notify() messages dropping stuff such
521 * Add ExecMonitor= setting. May be used multiple times. Forks off a process in
522 the service cgroup, which is supposed to monitor the service, and when it
523 exits the service is considered failed by its monitor.
525 * track the per-service PAM process properly (i.e. as an additional control
526 process), so that it may be queried on the bus and everything.
528 * add a new "debug" job mode, that is propagated to unit_start() and for
529 services results in two things: we raise SIGSTOP right before invoking
530 execve() and turn off watchdog support. Then, use that to implement
531 "systemd-gdb" for attaching to the start-up of any system service in its
534 * gpt-auto logic: related to the above, maybe support a "secondary" root
535 partition, that is mounted to / and is writable, and where the actual root's
536 /usr is mounted into.
538 * 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
540 * drop nss-myhostname in favour of nss-resolve?
542 * add a percentage syntax for TimeoutStopSec=, e.g. TimeoutStopSec=150%, and
543 then use that for the setting used in user@.service. It should be understood
544 relative to the configured default value.
546 * in networkd, when matching device types, fix up DEVTYPE rubbish the kernel passes to us
548 * enable LockMLOCK to take a percentage value relative to physical memory
550 * Permit masking specific netlink APIs with RestrictAddressFamily=
552 * nspawn: support that /proc, /sys/, /dev are pre-mounted
554 * define gpt header bits to select volatility mode
556 * ProtectClock= (drops CAP_SYS_TIMES, adds seecomp filters for settimeofday, adjtimex), sets DeviceAllow o /dev/rtc
558 * ProtectTracing= (drops CAP_SYS_PTRACE, blocks ptrace syscall, makes /sys/kernel/tracing go away)
560 * ProtectMount= (drop mount/umount/pivot_root from seccomp, disallow fuse via DeviceAllow, imply Mountflags=slave)
562 * ProtectKeyRing= to take keyring calls away
564 * RemoveKeyRing= to remove all keyring entries of the specified user
566 * ProtectReboot= that masks reboot() and kexec_load() syscalls, prohibits kill
567 on PID 1 with the relevant signals, and makes relevant files in /sys and
568 /proc (such as the sysrq stuff) unavailable
570 * make sure the ratelimit object can deal with USEC_INFINITY as way to turn off things
572 * journalctl: make sure -f ends when the container indicated by -M terminates
574 * mount: automatically search for "main" partition of an image has multiple
577 * in nss-systemd, if we run inside of RootDirectory= with PrivateUsers= set,
578 find a way to map the User=/Group= of the service to the right name. This way
579 a user/group for a service only has to exist on the host for the right
582 * add bus API for creating unit files in /etc, reusing the code for transient units
584 * add bus API to remove unit files from /etc
586 * add bus API to retrieve current unit file contents (i.e. implement "systemctl cat" on the bus only)
588 * rework fopen_temporary() to make use of open_tmpfile_linkable() (problem: the
589 kernel doesn't support linkat() that replaces existing files, currently)
591 * transient units: don't bother with actually setting unit properties, we
592 reload the unit file anyway
594 * journald: sigbus API via a signal-handler safe function that people may call
595 from the SIGBUS handler
597 * optionally, also require WATCHDOG=1 notifications during service start-up and shutdown
599 * delay activation of logind until somebody logs in, or when /dev/tty0 pulls it
600 in or lingering is on (so that containers don't bother with it until PAM is used). also exit-on-idle
602 * cache sd_event_now() result from before the first iteration...
604 * PID1: find a way how we can reload unit file configuration for
605 specific units only, without reloading the whole of systemd
607 * add an explicit parser for LimitRTPRIO= that verifies
608 the specified range and generates sane error messages for incorrect
611 * when we detect that there are waiting jobs but no running jobs, do something
613 * push CPUAffinity= also into the "cpuset" cgroup controller
615 * PID 1 should send out sd_notify("WATCHDOG=1") messages (for usage in the --user mode, and when run via nspawn)
617 * there's probably something wrong with having user mounts below /sys,
618 as we have for debugfs. for example, src/core/mount.c handles mounts
619 prefixed with /sys generally special.
620 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-June/032962.html
622 * fstab-generator: default to tmpfs-as-root if only usr= is specified on the kernel cmdline
624 * docs: bring http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/MyServiceCantGetRealtime up to date
626 * add a job mode that will fail if a transaction would mean stopping
627 running units. Use this in timedated to manage the NTP service
629 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-April/030229.html
631 * The udev blkid built-in should expose a property that reflects
632 whether media was sensed in USB CF/SD card readers. This should then
633 be used to control SYSTEMD_READY=1/0 so that USB card readers aren't
634 picked up by systemd unless they contain a medium. This would mirror
635 the behaviour we already have for CD drives.
637 * networkd/udev: implement SR_IOV configuration in .link files:
638 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-January/027451.html
640 * hostnamectl: show root image uuid
642 * Find a solution for SMACK capabilities stuff:
643 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-December/026188.html
645 * "systemctl preset-all" should probably order the unit files it
646 operates on lexicographically before starting to work, in order to
647 ensure deterministic behaviour if two unit files conflict (like DMs
650 * synchronize console access with BSD locks:
651 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-October/024582.html
653 * as soon as we have sender timestamps, revisit coalescing multiple parallel daemon reloads:
654 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-December/025862.html
656 * figure out when we can use the coarse timers
658 * add "systemctl start -v foobar.service" that shows logs of a service
659 while the start command runs. This is non-trivial to do without
660 races though, since we should flush out all journal messages before
661 returning from the "systemctl stop".
663 * 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
665 * maybe add support for specifier expansion in user.conf, specifically DefaultEnvironment=
667 * maybe allow timer units with an empty Units= setting, so that they
668 can be used for resuming the system but nothing else.
670 * what to do about udev db binary stability for apps? (raw access is not an option)
672 * systemctl: if some operation fails, show log output?
674 * systemctl edit: use equivalent of cat() to insert existing config as a comment, prepended with #.
675 Upon editor exit, lines with one # are removed, lines with two # are left with one #, etc.
677 * exponential backoff in timesyncd when we cannot reach a server
679 * timesyncd: add ugly bus calls to set NTP servers per-interface, for usage by NM
681 * merge ~/.local/share and ~/.local/lib into one similar /usr/lib and /usr/share....
683 * systemd.show_status= should probably have a mode where only failed
686 * add systemd.abort_on_kill or some other such flag to send SIGABRT instead of SIGKILL
687 (throughout the codebase, not only PID1)
691 - service registration
692 - service/domain/types browsing
694 - DNS-SD service registration from socket units
695 - resolved should optionally register additional per-interface LLMNR
696 names, so that for the container case we can establish the same name
697 (maybe "host") for referencing the server, everywhere.
698 - allow clients to request DNSSEC for a single lookup even if DNSSEC is off (?)
699 - hook up resolved with machined-based address resolution
701 * refcounting in sd-resolve is borked
703 * Add a new verb "systemctl top"
705 * add new gpt type for btrfs volumes
707 * support empty /etc boots nicely:
708 - nspawn/gpt-generator: introduce new gpt partition type for /usr
710 * generator that automatically discovers btrfs subvolumes, identifies their purpose based on some xattr on them.
712 * a way for container managers to turn off getty starting via $container_headless= or so...
714 * figure out a nice way how we can let the admin know what child/sibling unit causes cgroup membership for a specific unit
716 * For timer units: add some mechanisms so that timer units that trigger immediately on boot do not have the services
717 they run added to the initial transaction and thus confuse Type=idle.
719 * add bus api to query unit file's X fields.
721 * gpt-auto-generator:
722 - Define new partition type for encrypted swap? Support probed LUKS for encrypted swap?
723 - Make /home automount rather than mount?
725 * add generator that pulls in systemd-network from containers when
726 CAP_NET_ADMIN is set, more than the loopback device is defined, even
727 when it is otherwise off
729 * MessageQueueMessageSize= (and suchlike) should use parse_iec_size().
731 * implement Distribute= in socket units to allow running multiple
732 service instances processing the listening socket, and open this up
735 * introduce bus call FreezeUnit(s, b), as well as "systemctl freeze
736 $UNIT" and "systemctl thaw $UNIT" as wrappers around this. The calls
737 should SIGSTOP all unit processes in a loop until all processes of
738 it are fully stopped. This can later be used for app management by
739 desktop UIs such as gnome-shell to freeze apps that are not visible
740 on screen, not unlike how job control works on the shell
743 - implement per-slice CPUFairScheduling=1 switch
744 - introduce high-level settings for RT budget, swappiness
745 - how to reset dynamically changed unit cgroup attributes sanely?
746 - when reloading configuration, apply new cgroup configuration
747 - when recursively showing the cgroup hierarchy, optionally also show
748 the hierarchies of child processes
751 - add field to transient units that indicate whether systemd or somebody else saves/restores its settings, for integration with libvirt
753 * when we detect low battery and no AC on boot, show pretty splash and refuse boot
755 * libsystemd-journal, libsystemd-login, libudev: add calls to easily attach these objects to sd-event event loops
757 * be more careful what we export on the bus as (usec_t) 0 and (usec_t) -1
759 * 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
761 * After coming back from hibernation reset hibernation swap partition using the /dev/snapshot ioctl APIs
763 * If we try to find a unit via a dangling symlink, generate a clean
764 error. Currently, we just ignore it and read the unit from the search
767 * refuse boot if /usr/lib/os-release is missing or /etc/machine-id cannot be set up
769 * man: the documentation of Restart= currently is very misleading and suggests the tools from ExecStartPre= might get restarted.
771 * load .d/*.conf dropins for device units
775 - GetAllProperties() on a non-existing object does not result in a failure currently
776 - port to sd-resolve for connecting to TCP dbus servers
777 - 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
778 - see if we can drop more message validation on the sending side
779 - add API to clone sd_bus_message objects
780 - longer term: priority inheritance
782 - NameLost/NameAcquired obsolete
785 - update systemd.special(7) to mention that dbus.socket is only about the compatibility socket now
788 - allow multiple signal handlers per signal?
789 - document chaining of signal handler for SIGCHLD and child handlers
790 - define more intervals where we will shift wakeup intervals around in, 1h, 6h, 24h, ...
792 * investigate endianness issues of UUID vs. GUID
794 * dbus: when a unit failed to load (i.e. is in UNIT_ERROR state), we
795 should be able to safely try another attempt when the bus call LoadUnit() is invoked.
797 * add a pam module that passes the hdd passphrase into the PAM stack and then expires it, for usage by gdm auto-login.
799 * add a pam module that on password changes updates any LUKS slot where the password matches
802 - add unit tests for config_parse_device_allow()
804 * seems that when we follow symlinks to units we prefer the symlink
805 destination path over /etc and /usr. We should not do that. Instead
806 /etc should always override /run+/usr and also any symlink
809 * when isolating, try to figure out a way how we implicitly can order
810 all units we stop before the isolating unit...
812 * teach ConditionKernelCommandLine= globs or regexes (in order to match foobar={no,0,off})
814 * BootLoaderSpec: Clarify that the kernel has to be in $BOOT. Clarify
815 that the boot loader should be installed to the ESP. Define a way
816 how an installer can figure out whether a BLS compliant boot loader
819 * think about requeuing jobs when daemon-reload is issued? usecase:
820 the initrd issues a reload after fstab from the host is accessible
821 and we might want to requeue the mounts local-fs acquired through
824 * systemd-inhibit: make taking delay locks useful: support sending SIGINT or SIGTERM on PrepareForSleep()
826 * remove any syslog support from log.c — we probably cannot do this before split-off udev is gone for good
828 * shutdown logging: store to EFI var, and store to USB stick?
830 * merge unit_kill_common() and unit_kill_context()
833 - honor language efi variables for default language selection (if there are any?)
834 - honor timezone efi variables for default timezone selection (if there are any?)
835 - change bootctl to be backed by systemd-bootd to control temporary and persistent default boot goal plus efi variables
837 - recognize the case when not booted on EFI
839 * maybe do not install getty@tty1.service symlink in /etc but in /usr?
841 * print a nicer explanation if people use variable/specifier expansion in ExecStart= for the first word
843 * mount: turn dependency information from /proc/self/mountinfo into dependency information between systemd units.
846 - logind: optionally, ignore idle-hint logic for autosuspend, block suspend as long as a session is around
847 - logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
848 - Add pretty name for seats in logind
849 - logind: allow showing logout dialog from system?
850 - add Suspend() bus calls which take timestamps to fix double suspend issues when somebody hits suspend and closes laptop quickly.
851 - if pam_systemd is invoked by su from a process that is outside of a
852 any session we should probably just become a NOP, since that's
853 usually not a real user session but just some system code that just
855 - logind: make the Suspend()/Hibernate() bus calls wait for the for
856 the job to be completed. before returning, so that clients can wait
857 for "systemctl suspend" to finish to know when the suspending is
859 - logind: when the power button is pressed short, just popup a
860 logout dialog. If it is pressed for 1s, do the usual
861 shutdown. Inspiration are Macs here.
862 - expose "Locked" property on logind sesison objects
863 - maybe allow configuration of the StopTimeout for session scopes
864 - rename session scope so that it includes the UID. THat way
865 the session scope can be arranged freely in slices and we don't have
866 make assumptions about their slice anymore.
867 - follow PropertiesChanged state more closely, to deal with quick logouts and
871 - consider introducing implicit _TTY= + _PPID= + _EUID= + _EGID= + _FSUID= + _FSGID= fields
872 - journald: also get thread ID from client, plus thread name
873 - journal: when waiting for journal additions in the client always sleep at least 1s or so, in order to minimize wakeups
874 - add API to close/reopen/get fd for journal client fd in libsystemd-journal.
875 - fallback to /dev/log based logging in libsystemd-journal, if we cannot log natively?
876 - declare the local journal protocol stable in the wiki interface chart
877 - sd-journal: speed up sd_journal_get_data() with transparent hash table in bg
878 - journald: when dropping msgs due to ratelimit make sure to write
879 "dropped %u messages" not only when we are about to print the next
880 message that works, but already after a short timeout
881 - check if we can make journalctl by default use --follow mode inside of less if called without args?
882 - maybe add API to send pairs of iovecs via sd_journal_send
883 - journal: add a setgid "systemd-journal" utility to invoke from libsystemd-journal, which passes fds via STDOUT and does PK access
884 - journactl: support negative filtering, i.e. FOOBAR!="waldo",
885 and !FOOBAR for events without FOOBAR.
886 - journal: store timestamp of journal_file_set_offline() int he header,
887 so it is possible to display when the file was last synced.
888 - 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.
889 - journal: find a way to allow dropping history early, based on priority, other rules
890 - journal: When used on NFS, check payload hashes
891 - journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
892 - refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
893 - journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
894 - journal: deal nicely with byte-by-byte copied files, especially regards header
895 - journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the components would fit
896 - Replace utmp, wtmp, btmp, and lastlog completely with journal
897 - journalctl: instead --after-cursor= maybe have a --cursor=XYZ+1 syntax?
898 - when a kernel driver logs in a tight loop, we should ratelimit that too.
899 - journald: optionally, log debug messages to /run but everything else to /var
900 - journald: when we drop syslog messages because the syslog socket is
901 full, make sure to write how many messages are lost as first thing
902 to syslog when it works again.
903 - change systemd-journal-flush into a service that stays around during
904 boot, and causes the journal to be moved back to /run on shutdown,
905 so that we do not keep /var busy. This needs to happen synchronously,
906 hence doing this via signals is not going to work.
907 - optionally support running journald from the command line for testing purposes in external projects
908 - journald: allow per-priority and per-service retention times when rotating/vacuuming
909 - journald: make use of uid-range.h to managed uid ranges to split
911 - journalctl: add the ability to look for the most recent process of a binary. journalctl /usr/bin/X11 --pid=-1 or so...
912 - improve journalctl performance by loading journal files
913 lazily. Encode just enough information in the file name, so that we
914 do not have to open it to know that it is not interesting for us, for
915 the most common operations.
916 - man: document that corrupted journal files is nothing to act on
917 - rework journald sigbus stuff to use mutex
918 - Set RLIMIT_NPROC for systemd-journal-xyz, and all other of our
919 services that run under their own user ids, and use User= (but only
920 in a world where userns is ubiquitous since otherwise we cannot
921 invoke those daemons on the host AND in a container anymore). Also,
922 if LimitNPROC= is used without User= we should warn and refuse
924 - journalctl --verify: don't show files that are currently being
925 written to as FAIL, but instead show that their are being written to.
926 - add journalctl -H that talks via ssh to a remote peer and passes through
928 - add a version of --merge which also merges /var/log/journal/remote
929 - journalctl: -m should access container journals directly by enumerating
930 them via machined, and also watch containers coming and going.
931 Benefit: nspawn --ephemeral would start working nicely with the journal.
932 - assign MESSAGE_ID to log messages about failed services
934 * add a test if all entries in the catalog are properly formatted.
935 (Adding dashes in a catalog entry currently results in the catalog entry
936 being silently skipped. journalctl --update-catalog must warn about this,
937 and we should also have a unit test to check that all our message are OK.)
940 - document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fields in
941 [Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
942 - man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
943 - document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
944 - add a man page containing packaging guidelines and recommending usage of things like Documentation=, PrivateTmp=, PrivateNetwork= and ReadOnlyDirectories=/etc /usr.
945 - document systemd-journal-flush.service properly
946 - documentation: recommend to connect the timer units of a service to the service via Also= in [Install]
947 - man: document the very specific env the shutdown drop-in tools live in
948 - man: add more examples to man pages
949 - man: maybe sort directives in man pages, and take sections from --help and apply them to man too
950 - document root=gpt-auto properly
953 - add systemctl switch to dump transaction without executing it
954 - Add a verbose mode to "systemctl start" and friends that explains what is being done or not done
955 - "systemctl disable" on a static unit prints no message and does
956 nothing. "systemctl enable" does nothing, and gives a bad message
957 about it. Should fix both to print nice actionable messages.
958 - print nice message from systemctl --failed if there are no entries shown, and hook that into ExecStartPre of rescue.service/emergency.service
959 - add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
960 - systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into does not exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
961 - systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
962 - systemctl status output should include list of triggering units and their status
965 - "systemctl mask" should find all names by which a unit is accessible
966 (i.e. by scanning for symlinks to it) and link them all to /dev/null
969 - timer units should get the ability to trigger when:
971 - Modulate timer frequency based on battery state
973 * add libsystemd-password or so to query passwords during boot using the password agent logic
975 * clean up date formatting and parsing so that all absolute/relative timestamps we format can also be parsed
977 * on shutdown: move utmp, wall, audit logic all into PID 1 (or logind?), get rid of systemd-update-utmp-runlevel
979 * make repeated alt-ctrl-del presses printing a dump
981 * hostnamed: before returning information from /etc/machine-info.conf check the modification data and reread. Similar for localed, ...
983 * currently x-systemd.timeout is lost in the initrd, since crypttab is copied into dracut, but fstab is not
986 - emulate /dev/kmsg using CUSE and turn off the syslog syscall
987 with seccomp. That should provide us with a useful log buffer that
988 systemd can log to during early boot, and disconnect container logs
989 from the kernel's logs.
990 - as soon as networkd has a bus interface, hook up --network-interface=,
991 --network-bridge= with networkd, to trigger netdev creation should an
993 - a nice way to boot up without machine id set, so that it is set at boot
994 automatically for supporting --ephemeral. Maybe hash the host machine id
995 together with the machine name to generate the machine id for the container
996 - fix logic always print a final newline on output.
997 https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/272#issuecomment-113153176
998 - should optionally support receiving WATCHDOG=1 messages from its payload
1000 - optionally automatically add FORWARD rules to iptables whenever nspawn is
1001 running, remove them when shut down.
1004 - refuse mounting over a mount point
1005 - automatically discover .roothash files in dissect, similarly to nspawn
1008 - add an API so that libvirt-lxc can inform us about network interfaces being
1009 removed or added to an existing machine
1010 - "machinectl migrate" or similar to copy a container from or to a
1011 difference host, via ssh
1012 - introduce systemd-nspawn-ephemeral@.service, and hook it into
1013 "machinectl start" with a new --ephemeral switch
1014 - "machinectl status" should also show internal logs of the container in
1016 - "machinectl history"
1018 - "machinectl commit" that takes a writable snapshot of a tree, invokes a
1019 shell in it, and marks it read-only after use
1022 - cryptsetup-generator: allow specification of passwords in crypttab itself
1023 - support rd.luks.allow-discards= kernel cmdline params in cryptsetup generator
1025 * hw watchdog: optionally try to use the preset watchdog timeout instead of always overriding it
1026 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54712
1028 * add a dependency on standard-conf.xml and other included files to man pages
1030 * MountFlags=shared acts as MountFlags=slave right now.
1032 * properly handle loop back mounts via fstab, especially regards to fsck/passno
1034 * initialize the hostname from the fs label of /, if /etc/hostname does not exist?
1039 - add trigger --subsystem-match=usb/usb_device device
1040 - reimport udev db after MOVE events for devices without dev_t
1042 * There's currently no way to cancel fsck (used to be possible via C-c or c on the console)
1044 * add option to sockets to avoid activation. Instead just drop packets/connections, see http://cyberelk.net/tim/2012/02/15/portreserve-systemd-solution/
1047 - save coredump in Windows/Mozilla minidump format
1048 - when truncating coredumps, also log the full size that the process had, and make a metadata field so we can report truncated coredumps
1050 * support crash reporting operation modes (https://live.gnome.org/GnomeOS/Design/Whiteboards/ProblemReporting)
1052 * be able to specify a forced restart of service A where service B depends on, in case B
1053 needs to be auto-respawned?
1056 - apply "x" on "D" too (see patch from William Douglas)
1057 - instead of ignoring unknown fields, reject them.
1058 - creating new directories/subvolumes/fifos/device nodes
1059 should not follow symlinks. None of the other adjustment or creation
1060 calls follow symlinks.
1062 * make sure systemd-ask-password-wall does not shutdown systemd-ask-password-console too early
1064 * verify that the AF_UNIX sockets of a service in the fs still exist
1065 when we start a service in order to avoid confusion when a user
1066 assumes starting a service is enough to make it accessible
1068 * Make it possible to set the keymap independently from the font on
1069 the kernel cmdline. Right now setting one resets also the other.
1071 * and a dbus call to generate target from current state
1073 * write blog stories about:
1074 - hwdb: what belongs into it, lsusb
1075 - enabling dbus services
1076 - how to make changes to sysctl and sysfs attributes
1078 - how to pass throw-away units to systemd, or dynamically change properties of existing units
1079 - testing with Harald's awesome test kit
1081 - how to develop against journal browsing APIs
1082 - the journal HTTP iface
1083 - non-cgroup resource management
1084 - dynamic resource management with cgroups
1085 - refreshed, longer missions statement
1086 - calendar time events
1087 - init=/bin/sh vs. "emergency" mode, vs. "rescue" mode, vs. "multi-user" mode, vs. "graphical" mode, and the debug shell
1088 - how to create your own target
1089 - instantiated apache, dovecot and so on
1090 - hooking a script into various stages of shutdown/rearly booot
1092 * investigate whether the gnome pty helper should be moved into systemd, to provide cgroup support.
1094 * dot output for --test showing the 'initial transaction'
1097 - When logging about multiple units (stopping BoundTo units, conflicts, etc.),
1098 log both units as UNIT=, so that journalctl -u triggers on both.
1099 - generate better errors when people try to set transient properties
1100 that are not supported...

1102 - maybe introduce WantsMountsFor=? Usecase:
1103 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-January/027729.html
1104 - recreate systemd's D-Bus private socket file on SIGUSR2
1105 - move PAM code into its own binary
1106 - when we automatically restart a service, ensure we restart its rdeps, too.
1107 - hide PAM options in fragment parser when compile time disabled
1108 - Support --test based on current system state
1109 - 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().
1110 - after deserializing sockets in socket.c we should reapply sockopts and things
1111 - drop PID 1 reloading, only do reexecing (difficult: Reload()
1112 currently is properly synchronous, Reexec() is weird, because we
1113 cannot delay the response properly until we are back, so instead of
1114 being properly synchronous we just keep open the fd and close it
1115 when done. That means clients do not get a successful method reply,
1116 but much rather a disconnect on success.
1117 - when breaking cycles drop sysv services first, then services from /run, then from /etc, then from /usr
1118 - when a bus name of a service disappears from the bus make sure to queue further activation requests
1121 - allow port=0 in .socket units
1122 - maybe introduce ExecRestartPre=
1123 - add ReloadSignal= for configuring a reload signal to use
1124 - implement Register= switch in .socket units to enable registration
1125 in Avahi, RPC and other socket registration services.
1126 - allow Type=simple with PIDFile=
1127 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=723942
1128 - allow writing multiple conditions in unit files on one line
1129 - introduce Type=pid-file
1130 - introduce mix of BindTo and Requisite
1131 - add a concept of RemainAfterExit= to scope units
1132 - Allow multiple ExecStart= for all Type= settings, so that we can cover rescue.service nicely
1133 - add verification of [Install] section to systemd-analyze verify
1136 - Make sure ID_PATH is always exported and complete for
1137 network devices where possible, so we can safely rely
1141 - add support for more attribute types
1142 - inbuilt piping support (essentially degenerate async)? see loopback-setup.c and other places
1145 - add more keys to [Route] and [Address] sections
1146 - add support for more DHCPv4 options (and, longer term, other kinds of dynamic config)
1147 - add proper initrd support (in particular generate .network/.link files based on /proc/cmdline)
1148 - add reduced [Link] support to .network files
1149 - add Scope= parsing option for [Network]
1150 - properly handle routerless dhcp leases
1151 - work with non-Ethernet devices
1152 - add support for more bond options
1153 - dhcp: do we allow configuring dhcp routes on interfaces that are not the one we got the dhcp info from?
1154 - the DHCP lease data (such as NTP/DNS) is still made available when
1155 a carrier is lost on a link. It should be removed instantly.
1156 - expose in the API the following bits:
1157 - option 15, domain name and/or option 119, search list
1158 - option 12, host name and/or option 81, fqdn
1159 - option 123, 144, geolocation
1160 - option 252, configure http proxy (PAC/wpad)
1161 - provide a way to define a per-network interface default metric value
1162 for all routes to it. possibly a second default for DHCP routes.
1163 - allow Name= to be specified repeatedly in the [Match] section. Maybe also
1164 support Name=foo*|bar*|baz ?
1165 - duplicate address check for static IPs (like ARPCHECK in network-scripts)
1166 - allow DUID/IAID to be customized, see issue #394.
1167 - whenever uplink info changes, make DHCP server send out FORCERENEW
1169 * networkd-wait-online:
1170 - make operstates to wait for configurable?
1173 - figure out how much we can increase Maximum Message Size
1176 - add functions to set previously stored IPv6 addresses on startup and get
1177 them at shutdown; store them in client->ia_na
1178 - write more test cases
1179 - implement reconfigure support, see 5.3., 15.11. and 22.20.
1180 - implement support for temporary adressess (IA_TA)
1181 - implement dhcpv6 authentication
1182 - investigate the usefulness of Confirm messages; i.e. are there any
1183 situations where the link changes without any loss in carrier detection
1185 - some servers don't do rapid commit without a filled in IA_NA, verify
1192 - natively watch for dbus-*.service symlinks (PENDING)
1193 - teach dbus to activate all services it finds in /etc/systemd/services/org-*.service
1195 * fix alsa mixer restore to not print error when no config is stored
1197 * make cryptsetup lower --iter-time
1199 * patch kernel for xattr support in /dev, /proc/, /sys?
1201 * kernel: add device_type = "fb", "fbcon" to class "graphics"
1203 * /usr/bin/service should actually show the new command line
1205 * 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=
1207 * fedora: F20: go timer units all the way, leave cron.daily for cron
1209 * neither pkexec nor sudo initialize environ[] from the PAM environment?
1211 * fedora: update policy to declare access mode and ownership of unit files to root:root 0644, and add an rpmlint check for it
1213 * register catalog database signature as file magic
1215 * zsh shell completion:
1216 - <command> <verb> -<TAB> should complete options, but currently does not
1217 - systemctl add-wants,add-requires
1219 * systemctl status should know about 'systemd-analyze calendar ... --iterations='
1220 * If timer has just OnInactiveSec=..., it should fire after a specified time
1221 after being started.
1225 * look for close() vs. close_nointr() vs. close_nointr_nofail()
1227 * check for strerror(r) instead of strerror(-r)
1231 * set_put(), hashmap_put() return values check. i.e. == 0 does not free()!
1233 * use secure_getenv() instead of getenv() where appropriate
1235 * link up selected blog stories from man pages and unit files Documentation= fields
1236 String is not UTF-8 clean, ignoring assignment
