3 * Should systemctl status \* work on all unit types, not just .service?
5 * Dangling symlinks of .automount unit files in .wants/ directories, set up
6 automount points even when the original .automount file did not exist
7 anymore. Only the .mount unit was still around.
9 * ExecStart with unicode characters fails in strv_split_extract:
12 Environment=ONE='one' "TWO='two two' too" THREE=
13 ExecStart=/bin/python3 -c 'import sys;print(sys.argv)' $ONE $TWO $THREE
15 * When systemctl --host is used, underlying ssh connection can remain open.
16 bus_close does not kill children?
20 * Fedora: add an rpmlint check that verifies that all unit files in the RPM are listed in %systemd_post macros.
22 * wiki: update journal format documentation for lz4 additions
26 * replace manual readdir() loops with FOREACH_DIRENT or FOREACH_DIRENT_ALL
28 * Rearrange tests so that the various test-xyz.c match a specific src/basic/xyz.c again
32 * replace all canonicalize_file_name() invocations by chase_symlinks(), in
33 particulr those where a rootdir is relevant.
35 * drop nss-myhostname in favour of nss-resolve?
37 * drop internal dlopen() based nss-dns fallback in nss-resolve, and rely on the
38 external nsswitch.conf based one
40 * add a percentage syntax for TimeoutStopSec=, e.g. TimeoutStopSec=150%, and
41 then use that for the setting used in user@.service. It should be understood
42 relative to the configured default value.
44 * on cgroupsv2 add DelegateControllers=, to pick the precise cgroup controllers to delegate
46 * in networkd, when matching device types, fix up DEVTYPE rubbish the kernel passes to us
48 * enable LockMLOCK to take a percentage value relative to physical memory
50 * switch to ProtectSystem=strict for all our long-running services where that's possible
52 * If RootDirectory= is used, mount /proc, /sys, /dev into it, if not mounted yet
54 * Permit masking specific netlink APIs with RestrictAddressFamily=
56 * nspawn: start UID allocation loop from hash of container name
58 * nspawn: support that /proc, /sys/, /dev are pre-mounted
60 * define gpt header bits to select volatility mode
62 * ProtectKernelLogs= (drops CAP_SYSLOG, add seccomp for syslog() syscall, and DeviceAllow to /dev/kmsg) in service files
64 * ProtectClock= (drops CAP_SYS_TIMES, adds seecomp filters for settimeofday, adjtimex), sets DeviceAllow o /dev/rtc
66 * ProtectTracing= (drops CAP_SYS_PTRACE, blocks ptrace syscall, makes /sys/kernel/tracing go away)
68 * ProtectMount= (drop mount/umount/pivot_root from seccomp, disallow fuse via DeviceAllow, imply Mountflags=slave)
70 * ProtectKeyRing= to take keyring calls away
72 * RemoveKeyRing= to remove all keyring entries of the specified user
74 * ProtectReboot= that masks reboot() and kexec_load() syscalls, prohibits kill
75 on PID 1 with the relevant signals, and makes relevant files in /sys and
76 /proc (such as the sysrq stuff) unavailable
78 * DeviceAllow= should also generate seccomp filters for mknod()
80 * Add DataDirectory=, CacheDirectory= and LogDirectory= to match
81 RuntimeDirectory=, and create it as necessary when starting a service, owned by the right user.
83 * Add BindDirectory= for allowing arbitrary, private bind mounts for services
85 * Add RootImage= for mounting a disk image or file as root directory
87 * make sure the ratelimit object can deal with USEC_INFINITY as way to turn off things
89 * journalctl: make sure -f ends when the container indicated by -M terminates
91 * mount: automatically search for "main" partition of an image has multiple
94 * expose the "privileged" flag of ExecCommand on the bus, and open it up to
97 * in nss-systemd, if we run inside of RootDirectory= with PrivateUsers= set,
98 find a way to map the User=/Group= of the service to the right name. This way
99 a user/group for a service only has to exist on the host for the right
102 * allow attaching additional journald log fields to cgroups
104 * add bus API for creating unit files in /etc, reusing the code for transient units
106 * add bus API to remove unit files from /etc
108 * add bus API to retrieve current unit file contents (i.e. implement "systemctl cat" on the bus only)
110 * rework fopen_temporary() to make use of open_tmpfile_linkable() (problem: the
111 kernel doesn't support linkat() that replaces existing files, currently)
113 * check if DeviceAllow= should split first, resolve specifiers later
115 * transient units: don't bother with actually setting unit properties, we
116 reload the unit file anyway
118 * journald: sigbus API via a signal-handler safe function that people may call
119 from the SIGBUS handler
121 * optionally, also require WATCHDOG=1 notifications during service start-up and shutdown
123 * resolved: when routing queries, make sure only look for the *longest* suffix...
125 * delay activation of logind until somebody logs in, or when /dev/tty0 pulls it
126 in or lingering is on (so that containers don't bother with it until PAM is used). also exit-on-idle
128 * cache sd_event_now() result from before the first iteration...
130 * add systemctl stop --job-mode=triggering that follows TRIGGERED_BY deps and adds them to the same transaction
132 * PID1: find a way how we can reload unit file configuration for
133 specific units only, without reloading the whole of systemd
135 * add an explicit parser for LimitRTPRIO= that verifies
136 the specified range and generates sane error messages for incorrect
139 * do something about "/control" subcgroups in the unified cgroup hierarchy
141 * when we detect that there are waiting jobs but no running jobs, do something
143 * push CPUAffinity= also into the "cpuset" cgroup controller (only after the cpuset controller got ported to the unified hierarchy)
145 * PID 1 should send out sd_notify("WATCHDOG=1") messages (for usage in the --user mode, and when run via nspawn)
147 * there's probably something wrong with having user mounts below /sys,
148 as we have for debugfs. for exmaple, src/core/mount.c handles mounts
149 prefixed with /sys generally special.
150 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-June/032962.html
152 * man: document that unless you use StandardError=null the shell >/dev/stderr won't work in shell scripts in services
154 * fstab-generator: default to tmpfs-as-root if only usr= is specified on the kernel cmdline
156 * docs: bring http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/MyServiceCantGetRealtime up to date
158 * mounting and unmounting mount points manually with different source
159 devices will result in collected on all devices used.
160 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-April/030225.html
162 * add a job mode that will fail if a transaction would mean stopping
163 running units. Use this in timedated to manage the NTP service
165 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-April/030229.html
167 * Maybe add support for the equivalent of "ethtool advertise" to .link files?
168 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-April/030112.html
170 * The udev blkid built-in should expose a property that reflects
171 whether media was sensed in USB CF/SD card readers. This should then
172 be used to control SYSTEMD_READY=1/0 so that USB card readers aren't
173 picked up by systemd unless they contain a medium. This would mirror
174 the behaviour we already have for CD drives.
176 * networkd/udev: implement SR_IOV configuration in .link files:
177 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-January/027451.html
179 * Rework systemctl's GetAll property parsing to use the generic bus_map_all_properties() API
181 * implement a per-service firewall based on net_cls
183 * Port various tools to make use of verbs.[ch], where applicable: busctl,
184 coredumpctl, hostnamectl, localectl, systemd-analyze, timedatectl
186 * hostnamectl: show root image uuid
188 * sysfs set api in libudev is not const
190 * Find a solution for SMACK capabilities stuff:
191 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-December/026188.html
193 * "systemctl preset-all" should probably order the unit files it
194 operates on lexicographically before starting to work, in order to
195 ensure deterministic behaviour if two unit files conflict (like DMs
198 * synchronize console access with BSD locks:
199 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-October/024582.html
201 * as soon as we have sender timestamps, revisit coalescing multiple parallel daemon reloads:
202 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-December/025862.html
204 * in systemctl list-unit-files: show the install value the presets would suggest for a service in a third column
206 * figure out when we can use the coarse timers
208 * add "systemctl start -v foobar.service" that shows logs of a service
209 while the start command runs. This is non-trivial to do without
210 races though, since we should flush out all journal messages before
211 returning from the "systemctl stop".
213 * 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
215 * maybe add support for specifier expansion in user.conf, specifically DefaultEnvironment=
217 * introduce systemd-timesync-wait.service or so to sync on an NTP fix?
219 * systemd --user should issue sd_notify() upon reaching basic.target, not on becoming idle
221 * consider showing the unit names during boot up in the status output, not just the unit descriptions
223 * maybe allow timer units with an empty Units= setting, so that they
224 can be used for resuming the system but nothing else.
226 * what to do about udev db binary stability for apps? (raw access is not an option)
228 * maybe provide an API to allow migration of foreign PIDs into existing scopes.
230 * man: maybe use the word "inspect" rather than "introspect"?
232 * systemctl: if some operation fails, show log output?
234 * systemctl edit: use equvalent of cat() to insert existing config as a comment, prepended with #.
235 Upon editor exit, lines with one # are removed, lines with two # are left with one #, etc.
237 * exponential backoff in timesyncd when we cannot reach a server
239 * timesyncd: add ugly bus calls to set NTP servers per-interface, for usage by NM
241 * merge ~/.local/share and ~/.local/lib into one similar /usr/lib and /usr/share....
243 * systemd.show_status= should probably have a mode where only failed
246 * add systemd.abort_on_kill or some other such flag to send SIGABRT instead of SIGKILL
247 (throughout the codebase, not only PID1)
251 - service registration
252 - service/domain/types browsing
254 - DNS-SD service registration from socket units
255 - resolved should optionally register additional per-interface LLMNR
256 names, so that for the container case we can establish the same name
257 (maybe "host") for referencing the server, everywhere.
258 - allow clients to request DNSSEC for a single lookup even if DNSSEC is off (?)
259 - hook up resolved with machined-based address resolution
261 * refcounting in sd-resolve is borked
263 * Add a new verb "systemctl top"
265 * add new gpt type for btrfs volumes
267 * support empty /etc boots nicely:
268 - nspawn/gpt-generator: introduce new gpt partition type for /usr
269 - fstab-generator: support systemd.volatile=yes|no|state on the kernel cmdline, too, similar to nspawn's --volatile=
271 * generator that automatically discovers btrfs subvolumes, identifies their purpose based on some xattr on them.
273 * a way for container managers to turn off getty starting via $container_headless= or so...
275 * figure out a nice way how we can let the admin know what child/sibling unit causes cgroup membership for a specific unit
277 * mount_cgroup_controllers(): symlinks need to get the label applied
279 * For timer units: add some mechanisms so that timer units that trigger immediately on boot do not have the services
280 they run added to the initial transaction and thus confuse Type=idle.
282 * Run most system services with cgroupfs read-only and procfs with a more secure mode (doesn't work, since the hidepid= option is per-pid-namespace, not per-mount)
284 * add bus api to query unit file's X fields.
286 * gpt-auto-generator:
287 - Support LUKS for root devices
288 - Define new partition type for encrypted swap? Support probed LUKS for encrypted swap?
289 - Make /home automount rather than mount?
291 * add generator that pulls in systemd-network from containers when
292 CAP_NET_ADMIN is set, more than the loopback device is defined, even
293 when it is otherwise off
295 * MessageQueueMessageSize= (and suchlike) should use parse_iec_size().
297 * implement Distribute= in socket units to allow running multiple
298 service instances processing the listening socket, and open this up
301 * socket units: support creating sockets in different namespace,
302 opening it up for JoinsNamespaceOf=. This would require to fork off
303 a tiny process that joins the namespace and creates/binds the socket
304 and passes this back to PID1 via SCM_RIGHTS. This also could be used
305 to allow Chown/chgrp on sockets without requiring NSS in PID 1.
307 * introduce bus call FreezeUnit(s, b), as well as "systemctl freeze
308 $UNIT" and "systemctl thaw $UNIT" as wrappers around this. The calls
309 should SIGSTOP all unit processes in a loop until all processes of
310 it are fully stopped. This can later be used for app management by
311 desktop UIs such as gnome-shell to freeze apps that are not visible
312 on screen, not unlike how job control works on the shell
315 - implement per-slice CPUFairScheduling=1 switch
316 - handle jointly mounted controllers correctly
317 - introduce high-level settings for RT budget, swappiness
318 - how to reset dynamically changed unit cgroup attributes sanely?
319 - when reloading configuration, apply new cgroup configuration
320 - when recursively showing the cgroup hierarchy, optionally also show
321 the hierarchies of child processes
324 - add field to transient units that indicate whether systemd or somebody else saves/restores its settings, for integration with libvirt
325 - ensure scope units may be started only a single time
327 * Automatically configure swap partition to use for hibernation by looking for largest swap partition on the root disk?
329 * when we detect low battery and no AC on boot, show pretty splash and refuse boot
331 * libsystemd-journal, libsystemd-login, libudev: add calls to easily attach these objects to sd-event event loops
333 * be more careful what we export on the bus as (usec_t) 0 and (usec_t) -1
335 * 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
337 * After coming back from hibernation reset hibernation swap partition using the /dev/snapshot ioctl APIs
339 * If we try to find a unit via a dangling symlink, generate a clean
340 error. Currently, we just ignore it and read the unit from the search
343 * refuse boot if /usr/lib/os-release is missing or /etc/machine-id cannot be set up
345 * btrfs raid assembly: some .device jobs stay stuck in the queue
347 * man: the documentation of Restart= currently is very misleading and suggests the tools from ExecStartPre= might get restarted.
349 * load .d/*.conf dropins for device units
351 * allow implementation of InaccessibleDirectories=/ plus
352 ReadOnlyDirectories=... for whitelisting files for a service.
356 - GetAllProperties() on a non-existing object does not result in a failure currently
357 - kdbus: process fd=-1 for incoming msgs
358 - port to sd-resolve for connecting to TCP dbus servers
359 - kdbus: maybe add controlling tty metadata fields
360 - 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
361 - when kdbus does not take our message without memfds, try again with memfds
362 - see if we can drop more message validation on the sending side
363 - add API to clone sd_bus_message objects
364 - make AddMatch calls on dbus1 transports async?
365 - kdbus: matches against source or destination pids for an "strace -p"-like feel. Problem: The PID info needs to be available in userspace too...
366 - longer term: priority inheritance
369 - NameLost/NameAcquired obsolete
372 - update systemd.special(7) to mention that dbus.socket is only about the compatibility socket now
373 - test bloom filter generation indexes
374 - kdbus: introduce a concept of "send-only" connections
375 - kdbus: add counter for refused unicast messages that is passed out via the RECV ioctl. SImilar to the counter for dropped multicast messages we already have.
378 - allow multiple signal handlers per signal?
379 - document chaining of signal handler for SIGCHLD and child handlers
380 - define more intervals where we will shift wakeup intervals around in, 1h, 6h, 24h, ...
381 - generate a failure of a default event loop is executed out-of-thread
382 - maybe add support for inotify events
384 * investigate endianness issues of UUID vs. GUID
386 * dbus: when a unit failed to load (i.e. is in UNIT_ERROR state), we
387 should be able to safely try another attempt when the bus call LoadUnit() is invoked.
389 * add a pam module that passes the hdd passphrase into the PAM stack and then expires it, for usage by gdm auto-login.
391 * add a pam module that on password changes updates any LUKS slot where the password matches
393 * maybe add a generator that looks for "systemd.run=" on the kernel cmdline for container usercases...
395 * cgtop: make cgtop useful in a container
398 - add 'set -e' to scripts in test/
399 - make stuff in test/ work with separate output dir
401 * seems that when we follow symlinks to units we prefer the symlink
402 destination path over /etc and /usr. We should not do that. Instead
403 /etc should always override /run+/usr and also any symlink
406 * when isolating, try to figure out a way how we implicitly can order
407 all units we stop before the isolating unit...
409 * teach ConditionKernelCommandLine= globs or regexes (in order to match foobar={no,0,off})
411 * BootLoaderSpec: Clarify that the kernel has to be in $BOOT. Clarify
412 that the boot loader should be installed to the ESP. Define a way
413 how an installer can figure out whether a BLS compliant boot loader
416 * think about requeuing jobs when daemon-reload is issued? usecase:
417 the initrd issues a reload after fstab from the host is accessible
418 and we might want to requeue the mounts local-fs acquired through
421 * systemd-inhibit: make taking delay locks useful: support sending SIGINT or SIGTERM on PrepareForSleep()
423 * remove any syslog support from log.c — we probably cannot do this before split-off udev is gone for good
425 * shutdown logging: store to EFI var, and store to USB stick?
427 * think about window-manager-run-as-user-service problem: exit 0 → activate shutdown.target; exit != 0 → restart service
429 * merge unit_kill_common() and unit_kill_context()
431 * introduce ExecCondition= in services
434 - honor language efi variables for default language selection (if there are any?)
435 - honor timezone efi variables for default timezone selection (if there are any?)
436 - change bootctl to be backed by systemd-bootd to control temporary and persistent default boot goal plus efi variables
438 * maybe do not install getty@tty1.service symlink in /etc but in /usr?
440 * print a nicer explanation if people use variable/specifier expansion in ExecStart= for the first word
442 * mount: turn dependency information from /proc/self/mountinfo into dependency information between systemd units.
445 - logind: optionally, ignore idle-hint logic for autosuspend, block suspend as long as a session is around
446 - When we update the kernel all kind of hibernation should be prohibited until shutdown/reboot
447 - logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
448 - Add pretty name for seats in logind
449 - logind: allow showing logout dialog from system?
450 - we should probably handle SIGTERM/SIGINT to not leave dot files around, just in case
451 - session scopes/user unit: add RequiresMountsFor for the home directory of the user
452 - add Suspend() bus calls which take timestamps to fix double suspend issues when somebody hits suspend and closes laptop quickly.
453 - if pam_systemd is invoked by su from a process that is outside of a
454 any session we should probably just become a NOP, since that's
455 usually not a real user session but just some system code that just
457 - logind: make the Suspend()/Hibernate() bus calls wait for the for
458 the job to be completed. before returning, so that clients can wait
459 for "systemctl suspend" to finish to know when the suspending is
461 - logind: when the power button is pressed short, just popup a
462 logout dialog. If it is pressed for 1s, do the usual
463 shutdown. Inspiration are Macs here.
464 - expose "Locked" property on logind sesison objects
465 - given that logind now lets PID 1 do all nasty work, we can
466 probably reduce the capability set it retains substantially.
467 (we need CAP_SYS_ADMIN for drmSetMaster(), so maybe not worth it)
468 - expose orientation sensors and tablet mode through logind
469 - maybe allow configuration of the StopTimeout for session scopes
470 - rename session scope so that it includes the UID. THat way
471 the session scope can be arranged freely in slices and we don't have
472 make assumptions about their slice anymore.
473 - follow PropertiesChanged state more closely, to deal with quick logouts and
476 * exec: when deinitializating a tty device fix the perms and group, too, not only when initializing. Set access mode/gid to 0620/tty.
478 * service: watchdog logic: for testing purposes allow ping, but do not require pong
481 - consider introducing implicit _TTY= + _PPID= + _EUID= + _EGID= + _FSUID= + _FSGID= fields
482 - import and delete pstore filesystem content at startup
483 - journald: also get thread ID from client, plus thread name
484 - journal: when waiting for journal additions in the client always sleep at least 1s or so, in order to minimize wakeups
485 - add API to close/reopen/get fd for journal client fd in libsystemd-journal.
486 - fallback to /dev/log based logging in libsystemd-journal, if we cannot log natively?
487 - declare the local journal protocol stable in the wiki interface chart
488 - sd-journal: speed up sd_journal_get_data() with transparent hash table in bg
489 - journald: when dropping msgs due to ratelimit make sure to write
490 "dropped %u messages" not only when we are about to print the next
491 message that works, but alraedy after a short tiemout
492 - check if we can make journalctl by default use --follow mode inside of less if called without args?
493 - maybe add API to send pairs of iovecs via sd_journal_send
494 - journal: add a setgid "systemd-journal" utility to invoke from libsystemd-journal, which passes fds via STDOUT and does PK access
495 - journactl: support negative filtering, i.e. FOOBAR!="waldo",
496 and !FOOBAR for events without FOOBAR.
497 - journal: store timestamp of journal_file_set_offline() int he header,
498 so it is possible to display when the file was last synced.
499 - 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.
500 - journal: find a way to allow dropping history early, based on priority, other rules
501 - journal: When used on NFS, check payload hashes
502 - journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
503 - refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
504 - journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
505 - journal: deal nicely with byte-by-byte copied files, especially regards header
506 - journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the components would fit
507 - Replace utmp, wtmp, btmp, and lastlog completely with journal
508 - journalctl: instead --after-cursor= maybe have a --cursor=XYZ+1 syntax?
509 - when a kernel driver logs in a tight loop, we should ratelimit that too.
510 - journald: optionally, log debug messages to /run but everything else to /var
511 - journald: when we drop syslog messages because the syslog socket is
512 full, make sure to write how many messages are lost as first thing
513 to syslog when it works again.
514 - journald: make sure ratelimit is actually really per-service with the new cgroup changes
515 - change systemd-journal-flush into a service that stays around during
516 boot, and causes the journal to be moved back to /run on shutdown,
517 so that we do not keep /var busy. This needs to happen synchronously,
518 hence doing this via signals is not going to work.
519 - optionally support running journald from the command line for testing purposes in external projects
520 - journald: allow per-priority and per-service retention times when rotating/vacuuming
521 - journald: make use of uid-range.h to managed uid ranges to split
523 - journalctl: add the ability to look for the most recent process of a binary. journalctl /usr/bin/X11 --pid=-1 or so...
524 - improve journalctl performance by loading journal files
525 lazily. Encode just enough information in the file name, so that we
526 do not have to open it to know that it is not interesting for us, for
527 the most common operations.
528 - journal-or-kmsg is currently broken? See reverted
529 commit 4a01181e460686d8b4a543b1dfa7f77c9e3c5ab8.
530 - man: document that corrupted journal files is nothing to act on
531 - rework journald sigbus stuff to use mutex
532 - Set RLIMIT_NPROC for systemd-journal-xyz, and all other of our
533 services that run under their own user ids, and use User= (but only
534 in a world where userns is ubiquitous since otherwise we cannot
535 invoke those daemons on the host AND in a container anymore). Also,
536 if LimitNPROC= is used without User= we should warn and refuse
538 - journalctl --verify: don't show files that are currently being
539 written to as FAIL, but instead show that their are being written to.
540 - add journalctl -H that talks via ssh to a remote peer and passes through
542 - add a version of --merge which also merges /var/log/journal/remote
543 - log accumulated resource usage after each service invocation
544 - journalctl: -m should access container journals directly by enumerating
545 them via machined, and also watch containers coming and going.
546 Benefit: nspawn --ephemeral would start working nicely with the journal.
547 - assign MESSAGE_ID to log messages about failed services
550 - document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fields in
551 [Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
552 - man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
553 - document the exit codes when services fail before they are exec()ed
554 - document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
555 - document in wiki how to map ical recurrence events to systemd timer unit calendar specifications
556 - add a man page containing packaging guidelines and recommending usage of things like Documentation=, PrivateTmp=, PrivateNetwork= and ReadOnlyDirectories=/etc /usr.
557 - document systemd-journal-flush.service properly
558 - documentation: recommend to connect the timer units of a service to the service via Also= in [Install]
559 - man: document the very specific env the shutdown drop-in tools live in
560 - man: add more examples to man pages
561 - man: maybe sort directives in man pages, and take sections from --help and apply them to man too
564 - add systemctl switch to dump transaction without executing it
565 - Add a verbose mode to "systemctl start" and friends that explains what is being done or not done
566 - "systemctl disable" on a static unit prints no message and does
567 nothing. "systemctl enable" does nothing, and gives a bad message
568 about it. Should fix both to print nice actionable messages.
569 - print nice message from systemctl --failed if there are no entries shown, and hook that into ExecStartPre of rescue.service/emergency.service
570 - add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
571 - systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into does not exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
572 - systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
573 - better error message if you run systemctl without systemd running
574 - systemctl status output should include list of triggering units and their status
577 - "systemctl mask" should find all names by which a unit is accessible
578 (i.e. by scanning for symlinks to it) and link them all to /dev/null
581 - timer units should get the ability to trigger when:
582 o CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (TFD_TIMER_CANCEL_ON_SET)
584 - Modulate timer frequency based on battery state
586 * add libsystemd-password or so to query passwords during boot using the password agent logic
588 * clean up date formatting and parsing so that all absolute/relative timestamps we format can also be parsed
590 * on shutdown: move utmp, wall, audit logic all into PID 1 (or logind?), get rid of systemd-update-utmp-runlevel
592 * make repeated alt-ctrl-del presses printing a dump, or even force a reboot without
593 waiting for the timeout
595 * hostnamed: before returning information from /etc/machine-info.conf check the modification data and reread. Similar for localed, ...
597 * currently x-systemd.timeout is lost in the initrd, since crypttab is copied into dracut, but fstab is not
600 - nspawn -x should support ephemeral instances of gpt images
601 - emulate /dev/kmsg using CUSE and turn off the syslog syscall
602 with seccomp. That should provide us with a useful log buffer that
603 systemd can log to during early boot, and disconnect container logs
604 from the kernel's logs.
605 - as soon as networkd has a bus interface, hook up --network-interface=,
606 --network-bridge= with networkd, to trigger netdev creation should an
608 - a nice way to boot up without machine id set, so that it is set at boot
609 automatically for supporting --ephemeral. Maybe hash the host machine id
610 together with the machine name to generate the machine id for the container
611 - fix logic always print a final newline on output.
612 https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/272#issuecomment-113153176
613 - should optionally support receiving WATCHDOG=1 messages from its payload
615 - should send out sd_notify("WATCHDOG=1") messages
616 - optionally automatically add FORWARD rules to iptables whenever nspawn is
617 running, remove them when shut down.
618 - Improve error message when --bind= is used on a non-existing source
620 - maybe make copying of /etc/resolv.conf optional, and skip it if --read-only
624 - add an API so that libvirt-lxc can inform us about network interfaces being
625 removed or added to an existing machine
626 - "machinectl migrate" or similar to copy a container from or to a
627 difference host, via ssh
628 - introduce systemd-nspawn-ephemeral@.service, and hook it into
629 "machinectl start" with a new --ephemeral switch
630 - "machinectl status" should also show internal logs of the container in
632 - "machinectl list-images" should show os-release data, as well as
633 machine-info data (including deployment level)
634 - "machinectl history"
636 - "machinectl commit" that takes a writable snapshot of a tree, invokes a
637 shell in it, and marks it read-only after use
640 - generate a nice warning if mkfs.btrfs is missing
643 - cryptsetup-generator: allow specification of passwords in crypttab itself
644 - move cryptsetup key caching into kernel keyctl?
645 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54982
646 - support rd.luks.allow-discards= kernel cmdline params in cryptsetup generator
648 * hw watchdog: optionally try to use the preset watchdog timeout instead of always overriding it
649 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54712
651 * create /sbin/init symlinks from the build system
653 * MountFlags=shared acts as MountFlags=slave right now.
655 * properly handle loop back mounts via fstab, especially regards to fsck/passno
657 * initialize the hostname from the fs label of /, if /etc/hostname does not exist?
662 - add trigger --subsystem-match=usb/usb_device device
663 - reimport udev db after MOVE events for devices without dev_t
665 * when a service has the same env var set twice we actually store it twice and return that in systemctl show -p... We should only show the last setting
667 * There's currently no way to cancel fsck (used to be possible via C-c or c on the console)
669 * add option to sockets to avoid activation. Instead just drop packets/connections, see http://cyberelk.net/tim/2012/02/15/portreserve-systemd-solution/
672 - save coredump in Windows/Mozilla minidump format
673 - when truncating coredumps, also log the full size that the process had, and make a metadata field so we can report truncated coredumps
675 * support crash reporting operation modes (https://live.gnome.org/GnomeOS/Design/Whiteboards/ProblemReporting)
677 * default to actual 32-bit PIDs, via /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max
679 * be able to specify a forced restart of service A where service B depends on, in case B
680 needs to be auto-respawned?
683 - apply "x" on "D" too (see patch from William Douglas)
685 - instead of ignoring unknown fields, reject them.
686 - creating new directories/subvolumes/fifos/device nodes
687 should not follow symlinks. None of the other adjustment or creation
688 calls follow symlinks.
690 * make sure systemd-ask-password-wall does not shutdown systemd-ask-password-console too early
692 * verify that the AF_UNIX sockets of a service in the fs still exist
693 when we start a service in order to avoid confusion when a user
694 assumes starting a service is enough to make it accessible
696 * Make it possible to set the keymap independently from the font on
697 the kernel cmdline. Right now setting one resets also the other.
699 * and a dbus call to generate target from current state
701 * write blog stories about:
702 - hwdb: what belongs into it, lsusb
703 - enabling dbus services
705 - how to make changes to sysctl and sysfs attributes
707 - how to pass throw-away units to systemd, or dynamically change properties of existing units
708 - testing with Harald's awesome test kit
710 - how to develop against journal browsing APIs
711 - the journal HTTP iface
712 - non-cgroup resource management
713 - dynamic resource management with cgroups
714 - refreshed, longer missions statement
715 - calendar time events
716 - init=/bin/sh vs. "emergency" mode, vs. "rescue" mode, vs. "multi-user" mode, vs. "graphical" mode, and the debug shell
717 - how to create your own target
718 - instantiated apache, dovecot and so on
719 - hooking a script into various stages of shutdown/rearly booot
721 * investigate whether the gnome pty helper should be moved into systemd, to provide cgroup support.
723 * dot output for --test showing the 'initial transaction'
725 * fingerprint.target, wireless.target, gps.target, netdevice.target
728 - .timer units should optionally support CLOCK_BOOTTIME in addition to CLOCK_MONOTONIC
729 - When logging about multiple units (stopping BoundTo units, conflicts, etc.),
730 log both units as UNIT=, so that journalctl -u triggers on both.
731 - generate better errors when people try to set transient properties
732 that are not supported...
733 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-February/028076.html
734 - maybe introduce WantsMountsFor=? Usecase:
735 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-January/027729.html
736 - recreate systemd's D-Bus private socket file on SIGUSR2
737 - move PAM code into its own binary
738 - when we automatically restart a service, ensure we restart its rdeps, too.
739 - hide PAM options in fragment parser when compile time disabled
740 - Support --test based on current system state
741 - 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().
742 - after deserializing sockets in socket.c we should reapply sockopts and things
743 - drop PID 1 reloading, only do reexecing (difficult: Reload()
744 currently is properly synchronous, Reexec() is weird, because we
745 cannot delay the response properly until we are back, so instead of
746 being properly synchronous we just keep open the fd and close it
747 when done. That means clients do not get a successful method reply,
748 but much rather a disconnect on success.
749 - when breaking cycles drop sysv services first, then services from /run, then from /etc, then from /usr
750 - when a bus name of a service disappears from the bus make sure to queue further activation requests
753 - allow port=0 in .socket units
754 - maybe introduce ExecRestartPre=
755 - add ReloadSignal= for configuring a reload signal to use
756 - implement Register= switch in .socket units to enable registration
757 in Avahi, RPC and other socket registration services.
758 - allow Type=simple with PIDFile=
759 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=723942
760 - allow writing multiple conditions in unit files on one line
761 - load-fragment: when loading a unit file via a chain of symlinks
762 verify that it is not masked via any of the names traversed.
763 - introduce Type=pid-file
764 - ExecOnFailure=/usr/bin/foo
765 - introduce mix of BindTo and Requisite
766 - add a concept of RemainAfterExit= to scope units
767 - Set NoNewPrivileges= on all of our own services, where that makes sense
768 - Allow multiple ExecStart= for all Type= settings, so that we can cover rescue.service nicely
769 - consider adding RuntimeDirectoryUser= + RuntimeDirectoryGroup=
772 - Make sure ID_PATH is always exported and complete for
773 network devices where possible, so we can safely rely
775 - check MTUBytes parsing (expecting size_t but we are using unsigned)
778 - add support for more attribute types
779 - inbuilt piping support (essentially degenerate async)? see loopback-setup.c and other places
782 - add more keys to [Route] and [Address] sections
783 - add support for more DHCPv4 options (and, longer term, other kinds of dynamic config)
784 - add proper initrd support (in particular generate .network/.link files based on /proc/cmdline)
785 - add reduced [Link] support to .network files
786 - add Scope= parsing option for [Network]
787 - properly handle routerless dhcp leases
788 - work with non-Ethernet devices
789 - add support for more bond options
790 - dhcp: do we allow configuring dhcp routes on interfaces that are not the one we got the dhcp info from?
791 - the DHCP lease data (such as NTP/DNS) is still made available when
792 a carrier is lost on a link. It should be removed instantly.
793 - expose in the API the following bits:
794 - option 15, domain name and/or option 119, search list
795 - option 12, host name and/or option 81, fqdn
796 - option 123, 144, geolocation
797 - option 252, configure http proxy (PAC/wpad)
798 - provide a way to define a per-network interface default metric value
799 for all routes to it. possibly a second default for DHCP routes.
800 - allow Name= to be specified repeatedly in the [Match] section. Maybe also
801 support Name=foo*|bar*|baz ?
802 - duplicate address check for static IPs (like ARPCHECK in network-scripts)
803 - allow DUID/IAID to be customized, see issue #394.
804 - whenever uplink info changes, make DHCP server send out FORCERENEW
806 * networkd-wait-online:
807 - make operstates to wait for configurable?
810 - figure out how much we can increase Maximum Message Size
811 - support RFC4702 (pass FQDN)
814 - add functions to set previously stored IPv6 addresses on startup and get
815 them at shutdown; store them in client->ia_na
816 - write more test cases
817 - implement reconfigure support, see 5.3., 15.11. and 22.20.
818 - implement support for temporary adressess (IA_TA)
819 - implement dhcpv6 authentication
820 - investigate the usefulness of Confirm messages; i.e. are there any
821 situations where the link changes without any loss in carrier detection
823 - some servers don't do rapid commit without a filled in IA_NA, verify
830 - natively watch for dbus-*.service symlinks (PENDING)
831 - teach dbus to activate all services it finds in /etc/systemd/services/org-*.service
833 * fix alsa mixer restore to not print error when no config is stored
835 * make cryptsetup lower --iter-time
837 * patch kernel for xattr support in /dev, /proc/, /sys?
839 * kernel: add device_type = "fb", "fbcon" to class "graphics"
841 * drop accountsservice's StandardOutput=syslog and Type=dbus fields
843 * dbus: in fedora, make /var/lib/dbus/machine-id a symlink to /etc/machine-id
845 * /usr/bin/service should actually show the new command line
847 * 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=
849 * fedora: F20: go timer units all the way, leave cron.daily for cron
851 * neither pkexec nor sudo initialize environ[] from the PAM environment?
853 * fedora: update policy to declare access mode and ownership of unit files to root:root 0644, and add an rpmlint check for it
855 * register catalog database signature as file magic
857 * zsh shell completion:
858 - <command> <verb> -<TAB> should complete options, but currently does not
859 - systemctl add-wants,add-requires
864 * look for close() vs. close_nointr() vs. close_nointr_nofail()
866 * check for strerror(r) instead of strerror(-r)
868 * Use PR_SET_PROCTITLE_AREA if it becomes available in the kernel
872 * set_put(), hashmap_put() return values check. i.e. == 0 does not free()!
874 * use secure_getenv() instead of getenv() where appropriate
876 * link up selected blog stories from man pages and unit files Documentation= fields
