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_quoted:
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 * Fedora: move kernel image to /usr/lib/modules/, kernel-install will take care of populating /boot
24 * Fedora: remove /etc/resolv.conf tmpfiles hack
26 * wiki: update journal format documentation for lz4 additions
28 * When lz4 gets an API for lz4 command output, make use of it to
29 compress coredumps in a way compatible with /usr/bin/lz4.
33 * Figure out why 13790add4 breaks boot across all distributions. Revert it if
34 we cannot get it fixed.
36 * rework fsckd/fsck's connection logic or remove fsck entirely
38 * fix userns support in nspawn, or remove it entirely
40 * make unmount-on-eject work again
42 * bus-proxy: GetConnectionSELinuxSecurityContext() is completely broken
44 * timer units triggering services with failing conditions run busy:
45 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-April/030095.html
47 * figure out what to do about systemd.pc
51 * tmpfiles: creating new directories/subvolumes/fifos/device nodes
52 should not follow symlinks. None of the other adjustment or creation
53 calls follow symlinks.
55 * bus-proxy: fix return code when releasing name that we don't have:
56 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-April/030494.html
58 * fstab-generator: default to tmpfs-as-root if only usr= is specified on the kernel cmdline
60 * check for the various fs-specific ioctls we call that we do so only
61 after verifying they are regular files or directories, and not
62 device files, so that we don't confuse drivers.
64 * docs: bring http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/MyServiceCantGetRealtime up to date
66 * systemctl should set EFI firmware flag via logind
68 * mounting and unmounting mount points manually with different source
69 devices will result in collected collected on all devices used.
70 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-April/030225.html
72 * whe should apply a stop limit (similar to the existing start limit),
73 so that we don't enter unbounded umount loops:
74 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-April/030224.html
76 * add a job mode that will fail if a transaction would mean stopping
77 running units. Use this in timedated to manage the NTP service
79 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-April/030229.html
81 * Maybe add support for the equivalent of "ethtool advertise" to .link files?
82 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-April/030112.html
84 * fstab-generator should generate systemd-fsck-root.service when
85 running in the initrd, and operate on the right device.
87 * .timer units should optionally support CLOCK_BOOTTIME in addition to CLOCK_MONOTONIC
89 * systemd-run should support a mode where we wait for the unit to be started up
91 * create a btrfs qgroup for /var/lib/machines, and add all container
92 subvolumes we create to it.
94 * nspawn: add --overlay= to support overlay file systems, similar to
97 * When logging about multiple units (stopping BoundTo units, conflicts, etc.),
98 log both units as UNIT=, so that journalctl -u triggers on both.
100 * to allow "linking" of nspawn containers, extend --network-bridge= so
101 that it can dynamically create bridge interfaces that are refcounted
102 by the containers on them. For each group of containers to link together
104 * journalctl --verify: don't show files that are currently being
105 written to as FAIL, but instead show that their are being written
108 * assign MESSAGE_ID to log messages about failed services
110 * coredump: make the handler check /proc/$PID/rlimits for RLIMIT_CORE,
111 and supress coredump if turned off. Then change RLIMIT_CORE to
112 infinity by default for all services. This then allows per-service
113 control of coredumping.
115 * generate better errors when people try to set transient properties
116 that are not supported...
117 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-February/028076.html
119 * PID 1: when invoking systemctl preset-all on first boots, operate in
120 an exclusively additive way, i.e. never remove any pre-existing
121 symlinks, only add new ones.
123 * Introduce $LISTEN_NAMES to complement $LISTEN_FDS, containing a
124 colon separated list of identifiers for the fds passed.
126 * when the fstab-generator runs in the initrd, it should create a /dev/null mask for systemd-fsck-root.service, to avoid that the the root fs is fsck'ed twice.
128 * maybe introduce WantsMountsFor=? Usecase:
129 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-January/027729.html
131 * rework kexec logic to use new kexec_file_load() syscall, so that we
132 don't have to call kexec tool anymore.
134 * The udev blkid built-in should expose a property that reflects
135 whether media was sensed in USB CF/SD card readers. This should then
136 be used to control SYSTEMD_READY=1/0 so that USB card readers aren't
137 picked up by systemd unless they contain a medium. This would mirror
138 the behaviour we already have for CD drives.
140 * nspawn: emulate /dev/kmsg using CUSE and turn off the syslog syscall
141 with seccomp. That should provide us with a useful log buffer that
142 systemd can log to during early boot, and disconnect container logs
143 from the kernel's logs.
145 * networkd/udev: implement SR_IOV configuration in .link files:
146 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-January/027451.html
148 * When RLIMIT_NPROC is set from a unit file it currently always is set
149 for root, not for the user set in User=, which makes it
150 useless. After fixing this, set RLIMIT_NPROC for
151 systemd-journal-xyz, and all other of our services that run under
152 their own user ids, and use User= (but only in a world where userns
153 is ubiquitous since otherwise we cannot invoke those daemons on the
154 host AND in a container anymore). Also, if LimitNPROC= is used
155 without User= we should warn and refuse operation.
157 * logind: maybe allow configuration of the StopTimeout for session scopes
159 * Set NoNewPriviliges= on all of our own services, where that makes sense
161 * Rework systemctl's GetAll property parsing to use the generic bus_map_all_properties() API
163 * rework journald sigbus stuff to use mutex
165 * import-dkr: support tarsum checksum verification, if it becomes reality one day...
167 * import-dkr: convert json bits to nspawn configuration
169 * core/cgroup: support net_cls modules, and support automatically allocating class ids, then add support for making firewall changes depending on it, to implement a per-service firewall
171 * introduce systemd-nspawn-ephemeral@.service, and hook it into "machinectl start" with a new --ephemeral switch
173 * "machinectl status" should also show internal logs of the container in question
175 * "machinectl list-images" should show os-release data, as well as machine-info data (including deployment level)
177 * nspawn: when start a container "foobar" look for its configuration in a file "foobar.nspawn" in /etc/systemd/nspawn/ as well as next to the actualy directory or image to boot
179 * Port various tools to make use of verbs.[ch], where applicable
181 * "machinectl history"
185 * "machinectl commit" that takes a writable snapshot of a tree, invokes a shell in it, and marks it read-only after use
187 * systemd-nspawn -x should support ephemeral instances of gpt images
189 * hostnamectl: show root image uuid
191 * sysfs set api in libudev is not const
193 * Find a solution for SMACK capabilities stuff:
194 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-December/026188.html
196 * port libmount hookup to use API's own inotify interface, as soon as that is table in libmount
198 * "systemctl preset-all" should probably order the unit files it
199 operates on lexicographically before starting to work, in order to
200 ensure deterministic behaviour if two unit files conflict (like DMs
203 * resolved should optionally register additional per-interface LLMNR
204 names, so that for the container case we can establish the same name
205 (maybe "host") for referencing the server, everywhere.
207 * systemd-journal-upload (or a new, related tool): allow pushing out
208 journal messages onto the network in BSD syslog protocol,
209 continuously. Default to some link-local IP mcast group, to make this
210 useful as a one-stop debugging tool.
212 * synchronize console access with BSD locks:
213 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-October/024582.html
215 * as soon as we have kdbus, and sender timestamps, revisit coalescing multiple parallel daemon reloads:
216 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-December/025862.html
218 * the install state probably shouldn't get confused by generated units, think dbus1/kdbus compat!
220 * in systemctl list-unit-files: show the install value the presets would suggest for a service in a third column
222 * figure out when we can use the coarse timers
224 * sd-resolve: drop res_query wrapping, people should call via the bus to resolved instead
226 * add "systemctl start -v foobar.service" that shows logs of a service
227 while the start command runs. This is non-trivial to do without
228 races though, since we should flush out all journal messages before
229 returning from the "systemctl stop".
231 * 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
233 * timesyncd + resolved: add ugly bus calls to set NTP and DNS servers per-interface, for usage by NM
235 * add infrastructure to allocate dynamic/transient users and UID ranges, for use in user-namespaced containers, per-seat gdm login screens and gdm guest sessions
237 * machined: add an API so that libvirt-lxc can inform us about network interfaces being removed or added to an existing machine
239 * maybe add support for specifier expansion in user.conf, specifically DefaultEnvironment=
241 * code cleanup: retire FOREACH_WORD_QUOTED, port to unquote_first_word() loops instead
243 * introduce systemd-timesync-wait.service or so to sync on an NTP fix?
245 * systemd --user should issue sd_notify() upon reaching basic.target, not on becoming idle
247 * consider showing the unit names during boot up in the status output, not just the unit descriptions
249 * dhcp: do we allow configuring dhcp routes on interfaces that are not the one we got the dhcp info from?
251 * maybe allow timer units with an empty Units= setting, so that they
252 can be used for resuming the system but nothing else.
254 * what to do about udev db binary stability for apps? (raw access is not an option)
256 * maybe provide an API to allow migration of foreign PIDs into existing scopes.
258 * maybe support a new very "soft" reboot mode, that simply kills all processes, disassembles everything, flushes /run and sysvipc, and then reexecs systemd again
260 * man: document that corrupted journal files is nothing to act on
262 * man: maybe use the word "inspect" rather than "introspect"?
264 * "machinectl list" should probably show columns for OS version and IP addresses
266 * systemctl: if some operation fails, show log output?
269 - allow creation of units from scratch
270 - use equvalent of cat() to insert existing config as a comment, prepended with #.
271 Upon editor exit, lines with one # are removed, lines with two # are left with one #, etc.
273 * refcounting in sd-resolve is borked
275 * exponential backoff in timesyncd and resolved when we cannot reach a server
277 * unquote_many_words() should probably be used by a lot of code that
278 currently uses FOREACH_WORD and friends. For example, most conf
279 parsing callbacks should use it.
281 * merge ~/.local/share and ~/.local/lib into one similar /usr/lib and /usr/share....
283 * systemd.show_status= should probably have a mode where only failed
286 * add systemd.abort_on_kill or some other such flag to send SIGABRT instead of SIGKILL
287 (throughout the codebase, not only PID1)
290 - add LLDP client side support
291 - the DHCP lease data (such as NTP/DNS) is still made available when
292 a carrier is lost on a link. It should be removed instantly.
293 - .network setting that allows overriding of the hostname to send to the dhcp server
294 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-July/021550.html
295 - expose in the API the following bits:
296 - option 15, domain name and/or option 119, search list
297 - option 12, host name and/or option 81, fqdn
298 - option 100, 101, timezone
299 - option 123, 144, geolocation
300 - option 252, configure http proxy (PAC/wpad)
301 - networkd's dhcp server should transparently pass on the DNS and
302 NTP server list it got from user configuration and its dhcp client
303 to clients. It should also pass on its own timezone information.
304 - provide a way to define a per-network interface default metric value
305 for all routes to it. possibly a second default for DHCP routes.
306 - allow Name= to be specified repeatedly in the [Match] section. Maybe also
307 support Name=foo*|bar*|baz ?
308 - duplicate address check for static IPs (like ARPCHECK in network-scripts)
311 - put networkd events and rtnl events at a higher priority, so that
312 we always process them before we process client requests
314 - use base64 for key presentation?
315 - add display of private key types (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4034#appendix-A.1.1)?
316 - add nice formatting of DNS timestamps
321 - DNS-SD service registration from socket units
325 - maybe randomize DNS UDP source ports
326 - maybe compare query section of DNS replies
328 * Allow multiple ExecStart= for all Type= settings, so that we can cover rescue.service nicely
330 * Add a new verb "systemctl top"
332 * add new gpt type for btrfs volumes
334 * support empty /etc boots nicely:
335 - nspawn/gpt-generator: introduce new gpt partition type for /usr
336 - fstab-generator: support systemd.volatile=yes|no|state on the kernel cmdline, too, similar to nspawn's --volatile=
338 * generator that automatically discovers btrfs subvolumes, identifies their purpose based on some xattr on them.
340 * timer units: actually add extra delays to timer units with high AccuracySec values, don't start them already when we are awake...
342 * a way for container managers to turn off getty starting via $container_headless= or so...
344 * figure out a nice way how we can let the admin know what child/sibling unit causes cgroup membership for a specific unit
346 * mount_cgroup_controllers(): symlinks need to get the label applied
348 * For timer units: add some mechanisms so that timer units that trigger immediately on boot do not have the services
349 they run added to the initial transaction and thus confuse Type=idle.
351 * 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)
353 * sd-event: generate a failure of a default event loop is executed out-of-thread
355 * add bus api to query unit file's X fields.
357 * consider adding RuntimeDirectoryUser= + RuntimeDirectoryGroup=
359 * sd-event: define more intervals where we will shift wakeup intervals around in, 1h, 6h, 24h, ...
361 * gpt-auto-generator:
362 - Support LUKS for root devices
363 - Define new partition type for encrypted swap? Support probed LUKS for encrypted swap?
364 - Make /home automount rather than mount?
366 * add generator that pulls in systemd-network from containers when
367 CAP_NET_ADMIN is set, more than the loopback device is defined, even
368 when it is otherwise off
370 * MessageQueueMessageSize= and RLimitFSIZE= (and suchlike) should use parse_iec_size().
372 * "busctl status" works only as root on dbus1, since we cannot read
375 * implement Distribute= in socket units to allow running multiple
376 service instances processing the listening socket, and open this up
379 * socket units: support creating sockets in different namespace,
380 opening it up for JoinsNamespaceOf=. This would require to fork off
381 a tiny process that joins the namespace and creates/binds the socket
382 and passes this back to PID1 via SCM_RIGHTS. This also could be used
383 to allow Chown/chgrp on sockets without requiring NSS in PID 1.
385 * New service property: maximum CPU and wallclock runtime for a service
387 * introduce bus call FreezeUnit(s, b), as well as "systemctl freeze
388 $UNIT" and "systemctl thaw $UNIT" as wrappers around this. The calls
389 should SIGSTOP all unit processes in a loop until all processes of
390 it are fully stopped. This can later be used for app management by
391 desktop UIs such as gnome-shell to freeze apps that are not visible
392 on screen, not unlike how job control works on the shell
395 - implement per-slice CPUFairScheduling=1 switch
396 - handle jointly mounted controllers correctly
397 - introduce high-level settings for RT budget, swappiness
398 - how to reset dynamically changed unit cgroup attributes sanely?
399 - when reloading configuration, apply new cgroup configuration
400 - when recursively showing the cgroup hierarchy, optionally also show
401 the hierarchies of child processes
404 - add field to transient units that indicate whether systemd or somebody else saves/restores its settings, for integration with libvirt
405 - ensure scope units may be started only a single time
407 * Automatically configure swap partition to use for hibernation by looking for largest swap partition on the root disk?
409 * when we detect low battery and no AC on boot, show pretty splash and refuse boot
411 * machined, localed: when we try to kill an empty cgroup, generate an ESRCH error over the bus
413 * libsystemd-journal, libsystemd-login, libudev: add calls to easily attach these objects to sd-event event loops
415 * be more careful what we export on the bus as (usec_t) 0 and (usec_t) -1
417 * unify dispatch table in systemctl_main() and friends
419 * 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
421 * After coming back from hibernation reset hibernation swap partition using the /dev/snapshot ioctl APIs
423 * If we try to find a unit via a dangling symlink, generate a clean
424 error. Currently, we just ignore it and read the unit from the search
427 * refuse boot if /etc/os-release is missing or /etc/machine-id cannot be set up
429 * btrfs raid assembly: some .device jobs stay stuck in the queue
431 * make sure gdm does not use multi-user-x but the new default X configuration file, and then remove multi-user-x from systemd
433 * man: the documentation of Restart= currently is very misleading and suggests the tools from ExecStartPre= might get restarted.
435 * load .d/*.conf dropins for device units
437 * allow implementation of InaccessibleDirectories=/ plus
438 ReadOnlyDirectories=... for whitelisting files for a service.
441 - GetAllProperties() on a non-existing object does not result in a failure currently
442 - kdbus: process fd=-1 for incoming msgs
443 - port to sd-resolve for connecting to TCP dbus servers
444 - kdbus: maybe add controlling tty metadata fields
445 - 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
446 - when kdbus does not take our message without memfds, try again with memfds
447 - see if we can drop more message validation on the sending side
448 - add API to clone sd_bus_message objects
449 - make AddMatch calls on dbus1 transports async?
450 - kdbus: matches against source or destination pids for an "strace -p"-like feel. Problem: The PID info needs to be available in userspace too...
451 - longer term: priority inheritance
454 - NameLost/NameAcquired obsolete
457 - update systemd.special(7) to mention that dbus.socket is only about the compatibility socket now
458 - test bloom filter generation indexes
459 - bus-proxy: when passing messages from kdbus, make sure we properly
460 handle the case where a large number of fds is appended that we
461 cannot pass into sendmsg() of the AF_UNIX sokcet (which only accepts
463 - kdbus: introduce a concept of "send-only" connections
464 - 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.
467 - allow multiple signal handlers per signal?
468 - document chaining of signal handler for SIGCHLD and child handlers
470 * in the final killing spree, detect processes from the root directory, and
471 complain loudly if they have argv[0][0] == '@' set.
472 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=961044
474 * investigate endianness issues of UUID vs. GUID
476 * dbus: when a unit failed to load (i.e. is in UNIT_ERROR state), we
477 should be able to safely try another attempt when the bus call LoadUnit() is invoked.
479 * add a pam module that passes the hdd passphrase into the PAM stack and then expires it, for usage by gdm auto-login.
481 * add a pam module that on password changes updates any LUKS slot where the password matches
483 * maybe add a generator that looks for "systemd.run=" on the kernel cmdline for container usercases...
485 * cgtop: make cgtop useful in a container
488 - add 'set -e' to scripts in test/
489 - make stuff in test/ work with separate output dir
491 * seems that when we follow symlinks to units we prefer the symlink
492 destination path over /etc and /usr. We should not do that. Instead
493 /etc should always override /run+/usr and also any symlink
496 * when isolating, try to figure out a way how we implicitly can order
497 all units we stop before the isolating unit...
499 * teach ConditionKernelCommandLine= globs or regexes (in order to match foobar={no,0,off})
501 * BootLoaderSpec: Clarify that the kernel has to be in $BOOT. Clarify
502 that the boot loader should be installed to the ESP. Define a way
503 how an installer can figure out whether a BLS compliant boot loader
506 * think about requeuing jobs when daemon-reload is issued? usecase:
507 the initrd issues a reload after fstab from the host is accessible
508 and we might want to requeue the mounts local-fs acquired through
511 * systemd-inhibit: make taking delay locks useful: support sending SIGINT or SIGTERM on PrepareForSleep()
513 * journal-or-kmsg is currently broken? See reverted commit 4a01181e460686d8b4a543b1dfa7f77c9e3c5ab8.
515 * remove any syslog support from log.c -- we probably cannot do this before split-off udev is gone for good
517 * shutdown logging: store to EFI var, and store to USB stick?
519 * write UI tool that pops up emergency messages from the journal as notification
521 * think about window-manager-run-as-user-service problem: exit 0 → activate shutdown.target; exit != 0 → restart service
523 * merge unit_kill_common() and unit_kill_context()
525 * introduce ExecCondition= in services
528 - honor language efi variables for default language selection (if there are any?)
529 - honor timezone efi variables for default timezone selection (if there are any?)
530 - change bootctl to be backed by systemd-bootd to control temporary and persistent default boot goal plus efi variables
532 * maybe do not install getty@tty1.service symlink in /etc but in /usr?
534 * re-enable "make check" for gtk-doc (broken for unknown reason)
536 * fstab: add new mount option x-systemd-after=/foobar/waldo to allow manual dependencies to other mount points
537 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=812826
539 * print a nicer explanation if people use variable/specifier expansion in ExecStart= for the first word
541 * mount: turn dependency information from /proc/self/mountinfo into dependency information between systemd units.
544 - logind: optionally, ignore idle-hint logic for autosuspend, block suspend as long as a session is around
545 - When we update the kernel all kind of hibernation should be prohibited until shutdown/reboot
546 - logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
547 - Add pretty name for seats in logind
548 - logind: allow showing logout dialog from system?
549 - we should probably handle SIGTERM/SIGINT to not leave dot files around, just in case
550 - session scopes/user unit: add RequiresMountsFor for the home directory of the user
551 - add Suspend() bus calls which take timestamps to fix double suspend issues when somebody hits suspend and closes laptop quickly.
552 - if pam_systemd is invoked by su from a process that is outside of a
553 any session we should probably just become a NOP, since that's
554 usually not a real user session but just some system code that just
556 - logind: make the Suspend()/Hibernate() bus calls wait for the for
557 the job to be completed. before returning, so that clients can wait
558 for "systemctl suspend" to finish to know when the suspending is
560 - logind: when the power button is pressed short, just popup a
561 logout dialog. If it is pressed for 1s, do the usual
562 shutdown. Inspiration are Macs here.
563 - expose "Locked" property on logind sesison objects
564 - given that logind now lets PID 1 do all nasty work, we can
565 probably reduce the capability set it retains substantially.
566 (we need CAP_SYS_ADMIN for drmSetMaster(), so maybe not worth it)
567 - expose orientation sensors and tablet mode through logind
569 * exec: when deinitializating a tty device fix the perms and group, too, not only when initializing. Set access mode/gid to 0620/tty.
571 * service: watchdog logic: for testing purposes allow ping, but do not require pong
574 - consider introducing implicit _TTY= + _PPID= + _EUID= + _EGID= + _FSUID= + _FSGID= fields
575 - import and delete pstore filesystem content at startup
576 - journald: also get thread ID from client, plus thread name
577 - journal: when waiting for journal additions in the client always sleep at least 1s or so, in order to minimize wakeups
578 - add API to close/reopen/get fd for journal client fd in libsystemd-journal.
579 - fallback to /dev/log based logging in libsystemd-journal, if we cannot log natively?
580 - declare the local journal protocol stable in the wiki interface chart
581 - journal: reuse XZ context
582 - sd-journal: speed up sd_journal_get_data() with transparent hash table in bg
583 - journald: when dropping msgs due to ratelimit make sure to write
584 "dropped %u messages" not only when we are about to print the next
585 message that works, but alraedy after a short tiemout
586 - check if we can make journalctl by default use --follow mode inside of less if called without args?
587 - maybe add API to send pairs of iovecs via sd_journal_send
588 - journal: when writing journal auto-rotate if time jumps backwards
589 - journal: add a setgid "systemd-journal" utility to invoke from libsystemd-journal, which passes fds via STDOUT and does PK access
590 - journactl: support negative filtering, i.e. FOOBAR!="waldo",
591 and !FOOBAR for events without FOOBAR.
592 - journal: store timestamp of journal_file_set_offline() int he header,
593 so it is possible to display when the file was last synced.
594 - 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.
595 - journal: find a way to allow dropping history early, based on priority, other rules
596 - journal: When used on NFS, check payload hashes
597 - journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
598 - refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
599 - journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
600 - journal: deal nicely with byte-by-byte copied files, especially regards header
601 - journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the components would fit
602 - Replace utmp, wtmp, btmp, and lastlog completely with journal
603 - journalctl: instead --after-cursor= maybe have a --cursor=XYZ+1 syntax?
604 - when a kernel driver logs in a tight loop, we should ratelimit that too.
605 - journald: optionally, log debug messages to /run but everything else to /var
606 - journald: when we drop syslog messages because the syslog socket is
607 full, make sure to write how many messages are lost as first thing
608 to syslog when it works again.
609 - journald: make sure ratelimit is actually really per-service with the new cgroup changes
610 - change systemd-journal-flush into a service that stays around during
611 boot, and causes the journal to be moved back to /run on shutdown,
612 so that we do not keep /var busy. This needs to happen synchronously,
613 hence doing this via signals is not going to work.
614 - optionally support running journald from the command line for testing purposes in external projects
615 - journald: allow per-priority and per-service retention times when rotating/vacuuming
616 - journald: make use of uid-range.h to managed uid ranges to split
618 - journalctl: add the ability to look for the most recent process of a binary. journalctl /usr/bin/X11 --pid=-1 or so...
619 - improve journalctl performance by loading journal files
620 lazily. Encode just enough information in the file name, so that we
621 do not have to open it to know that it is not interesting for us, for
622 the most common operations.
625 - document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fields in
626 [Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
627 - man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
628 - document the exit codes when services fail before they are exec()ed
629 - document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
630 - document in wiki how to map ical recurrence events to systemd timer unit calendar specifications
631 - add a man page containing packaging guidelines and recommending usage of things like Documentation=, PrivateTmp=, PrivateNetwork= and ReadOnlyDirectories=/etc /usr.
632 - document systemd-journal-flush.service properly
633 - documentation: recommend to connect the timer units of a service to the service via Also= in [Install]
634 - man: document the very specific env the shutdown drop-in tools live in
635 - man: extend runlevel(8) to mention that runlevels suck, and are dead. Maybe add runlevel(7) with a note about that too
636 - man: add more examples to man pages
637 - man: maybe sort directives in man pages, and take sections from --help and apply them to man too
640 - systemctl list-jobs - show dependencies
641 - add systemctl switch to dump transaction without executing it
642 - Add a verbose mode to "systemctl start" and friends that explains what is being done or not done
643 - "systemctl disable" on a static unit prints no message and does
644 nothing. "systemctl enable" does nothing, and gives a bad message
645 about it. Should fix both to print nice actionable messages.
646 - print nice message from systemctl --failed if there are no entries shown, and hook that into ExecStartPre of rescue.service/emergency.service
647 - add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
648 - systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into does not exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
649 - systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
650 - support "systemctl stop foobar@.service" to stop all units matching a certain template
651 - Something is wrong with symlink handling of "autovt@.service" in "systemctl list-unit-files"
652 - better error message if you run systemctl without systemd running
653 - systemctl status output should should include list of triggering units and their status
656 - "systemctl mask" should find all names by which a unit is accessible
657 (i.e. by scanning for symlinks to it) and link them all to /dev/null
658 - systemctl list-unit-files should list generated files (and probably with a new state "generated" for them, or so)
661 - timer units should get the ability to trigger when:
662 o CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (TFD_TIMER_CANCEL_ON_SET)
664 - Support 2012-02~4 as syntax for specifying the fourth to last day of the month.
665 - calendarspec: support value ranges with ".." notation. Example: 2013-4..8-1
666 - when parsing calendar timestamps support the UTC timezone (even if we will not support arbitrary timezone specs, support UTC itself certainly makes sense), also support syntaxes such as +0200
667 - Modulate timer frequency based on battery state
669 * add libsystemd-password or so to query passwords during boot using the password agent logic
671 * 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().
673 * fedup: add --unit to systemctl switch-root somehow
674 * fedup: do not delete initrd on switch-root
677 * clean up date formatting and parsing so that all absolute/relative timestamps we format can also be parsed
679 * on shutdown: move utmp, wall, audit logic all into PID 1 (or logind?), get rid of systemd-update-utmp-runlevel
681 * make repeated alt-ctrl-del presses printing a dump, or even force a reboot without
682 waiting for the timeout
684 * hostnamed: before returning information from /etc/machine-info.conf check the modification data and reread. Similar for localed, ...
686 * currently x-systemd.timeout is lost in the initrd, since crypttab is copied into dracut, but fstab is not
689 - refuses to boot containers without /etc/machine-id (OK?), and with empty /etc/machine-id (not OK).
692 - cryptsetup-generator: allow specification of passwords in crypttab itself
693 - move cryptsetup key caching into kernel keyctl?
694 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54982
695 - support rd.luks.allow-discards= kernel cmdline params in cryptsetup generator
697 * hw watchdog: optionally try to use the preset watchdog timeout instead of always overriding it
698 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54712
700 * after deserializing sockets in socket.c we should reapply sockopts and things
702 * make timer units go away after they elapsed
704 * move PID 1 segfaults to /var/lib/systemd/coredump?
706 * create /sbin/init symlinks from the build system
708 * allow writing multiple conditions in unit files on one line
710 * MountFlags=shared acts as MountFlags=slave right now.
712 * drop PID 1 reloading, only do reexecing (difficult: Reload()
713 currently is properly synchronous, Reexec() is weird, because we
714 cannot delay the response properly until we are back, so instead of
715 being properly synchronous we just keep open the fd and close it
716 when done. That means clients do not get a successful method reply,
717 but much rather a disconnect on success.
719 * properly handle loop back mounts via fstab, especially regards to fsck/passno
721 * initialize the hostname from the fs label of /, if /etc/hostname does not exist?
723 * rename "userspace" to "core-os"
725 * load-fragment: when loading a unit file via a chain of symlinks
726 verify that it is not masked via any of the names traversed.
728 * introduce Type=pid-file
730 * change Requires=basic.target to RequisiteOverride=basic.target
732 * when breaking cycles drop sysv services first, then services from /run, then from /etc, then from /usr
734 * automount: implement expire:
735 - set superblock timeout AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_TIMEOUT_CMD
736 - periodically run AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_EXPIRE_CMD
737 - every timeout/4 (original autofs logic)
738 - blocking, needs a thread
740 - receive expire packet on pipe if kernel tells the timeout is over
742 - answer expire packet on pipe with AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_{READY,FAIL}_CMD
743 - AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_EXPIRE_CMD returns
745 * ExecOnFailure=/usr/bin/foo
750 - add trigger --subsystem-match=usb/usb_device device
751 - reimport udev db after MOVE events for devices without dev_t
753 * 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
755 * introduce mix of BindTo and Requisite
757 * There's currently no way to cancel fsck (used to be possible via C-c or c on the console)
759 * add option to sockets to avoid activation. Instead just drop packets/connections, see http://cyberelk.net/tim/2012/02/15/portreserve-systemd-solution/
761 * default unix qlen is too small (10). bump sysctl? add sockopt?
763 * save coredump in Windows/Mozilla minidump format
765 * support crash reporting operation modes (https://live.gnome.org/GnomeOS/Design/Whiteboards/ProblemReporting)
767 * default to actual 32-bit PIDs, via /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max
769 * be able to specify a forced restart of service A where service B depends on, in case B
770 needs to be auto-respawned?
772 * when a bus name of a service disappears from the bus make sure to queue further activation requests
775 - apply "x" on "D" too (see patch from William Douglas)
777 - instead of ignoring unknown fields, reject them.
779 * for services: do not set $HOME in services unless requested
781 * hide PAM options in fragment parser when compile time disabled
783 * when we automatically restart a service, ensure we restart its rdeps, too.
785 * allow Type=simple with PIDFile=
786 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=723942
788 * move PAM code into its own binary
790 * implement Register= switch in .socket units to enable registration
791 in Avahi, RPC and other socket registration services.
793 * make sure systemd-ask-password-wall does not shutdown systemd-ask-password-console too early
795 * add ReloadSignal= for configuring a reload signal to use
797 * verify that the AF_UNIX sockets of a service in the fs still exist
798 when we start a service in order to avoid confusion when a user
799 assumes starting a service is enough to make it accessible
801 * Make it possible to set the keymap independently from the font on
802 the kernel cmdline. Right now setting one resets also the other.
804 * and a dbus call to generate target from current state
806 * GC unreferenced jobs (such as .device jobs)
808 * write blog stories about:
809 - hwdb: what belongs into it, lsusb
810 - enabling dbus services
812 - how to make changes to sysctl and sysfs attributes

824 - how to create your own target
825 - instantiated apache, dovecot and so on
826 - hooking a script into various stages of shutdown/rearly booot
828 * allow port=0 in .socket units
830 * recreate systemd's D-Bus private socket file on SIGUSR2
832 * Support --test based on current system state
834 * investigate whether the gnome pty helper should be moved into systemd, to provide cgroup support.
836 * maybe introduce ExecRestartPre=
838 * dot output for --test showing the 'initial transaction'
840 * fingerprint.target, wireless.target, gps.target, netdevice.target
843 - figure out a simple way to wait for journal events in a way that
845 - add documentation to systemd.daemon
848 - plot per-process IO utilization
849 - group processes based on service association (cgroups)
850 - document initcall_debug
851 - kernel cmdline "bootchart" option for simplicity?
854 - Make sure ID_PATH is always exported and complete for
855 network devices where possible, so we can safely rely
857 - check MTUBytes parsing (expecting size_t but we are using unsigned)
860 - add support for more attribute types
861 - inbuilt piping support (essentially degenerate async)? see loopback-setup.c and other places
864 - add more keys to [Route] and [Address] sections
865 - add support for more DHCPv4 options (and, longer term, other kinds of dynamic config)
866 - add proper initrd support (in particular generate .network/.link files based on /proc/cmdline)
867 - add reduced [Link] support to .network files
868 - add Scope= parsing option for [Network]
869 - properly handle routerless dhcp leases
870 - add more attribute support for SIT tunnel
871 - work with non-ethernet devices
872 - add support for more bond options
874 * networkd-wait-online:
875 - make operstates to wait for configurable?
878 - figure out how much we can increase Maximum Message Size
879 - export timezone information
880 - support RFC4702 (pass FQDN)
883 - add functions to set previously stored IPv6 addresses on startup and get
884 them at shutdown; store them in client->ia_na
885 - write more test cases
886 - implement reconfigure support, see 5.3., 15.11. and 22.20.
887 - implement support for temporary adressess (IA_TA)
888 - implement dhcpv6 authentication
889 - investigate the usefulness of Confirm messages; i.e. are there any
890 situations where the link changes without any loss in carrier detection
892 - some servers don't do rapid commit without a filled in IA_NA, verify
898 - natively watch for dbus-*.service symlinks (PENDING)
899 - teach dbus to activate all services it finds in /etc/systemd/services/org-*.service
901 * fix alsa mixer restore to not print error when no config is stored
903 * make cryptsetup lower --iter-time
905 * patch kernel for xattr support in /dev, /proc/, /sys?
907 * kernel: add device_type = "fb", "fbcon" to class "graphics"
909 * drop accountsservice's StandardOutput=syslog and Type=dbus fields
911 * dbus upstream still refers to dbus.target and should not
913 * dbus: in fedora, make /var/lib/dbus/machine-id a symlink to /etc/machine-id
915 * add "# export SYSTEMD_PAGER=" to bash login
917 * /usr/bin/service should actually show the new command line
919 * 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=
921 * fedora: F20: go timer units all the way, leave cron.daily for cron
923 * neither pkexec nor sudo initialize environ[] from the PAM environment?
925 * fedora: update policy to declare access mode and ownership of unit files to root:root 0644, and add an rpmlint check for it
927 * register catalog database signature as file magic
929 * zsh shell completion:
930 - <command> <verb> -<TAB> should complete options, but currently does not
931 - systemctl add-wants,add-requires
936 * look for close() vs. close_nointr() vs. close_nointr_nofail()
938 * check for strerror(r) instead of strerror(-r)
940 * Use PR_SET_PROCTITLE_AREA if it becomes available in the kernel
944 * set_put(), hashmap_put() return values check. i.e. == 0 does not free()!
946 * use secure_getenv() instead of getenv() where appropriate
948 * link up selected blog stories from man pages and unit files Documentation= fields
950 Scheduled for removal or fixing:
952 * xxxOverridable dependencies (probably: fix)
