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
24 * When lz4 gets an API for lz4 command output, make use of it to
25 compress coredumps in a way compatible with /usr/bin/lz4.
29 * sd-event: maybe add support for inotify events
31 * PID 1 should send out sd_notify("WATCHDOG=1") messages (for usage in the --user mode, and when run via nspawn)
33 * nspawn should send out sd_notify("WATCHDOG=1") messages
35 * nspawn should optionally support receiving WATCHDOG=1 messages from its payload PID 1...
37 * consider throwing a warning if a service declares it wants to be "Before=" a .device unit.
39 * "systemctl edit" should know a mode to create a new unit file
41 * there's probably something wrong with having user mounts below /sys,
42 as we have for debugfs. for exmaple, src/core/mount.c handles mounts
43 prefixed with /sys generally special.
44 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-June/032962.html
46 * Add PassEnvironment= setting to service units, to import select env vars from PID 1 into the service env block
48 * nspawn: fix logic always print a final newline on output.
49 https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/272#issuecomment-113153176
51 * make nspawn's --network-veth switch more powerful:
52 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-June/033121.html
54 * man: document that unless you use StandardError=null the shell >/dev/stderr won't work in shell scripts in services
56 * man: clarify that "machinectl show" shows different information than "machinectl status" (no cgroup tree, no IP addresses, ...)
58 * "systemctl daemon-reload" should result in /etc/systemd/system.conf being reloaded by systemd
60 * install: include generator dirs in unit file search paths
62 * logind: follow PropertiesChanged state more closely, to deal with quick logouts and relogins
64 * invent a better systemd-run scheme for naming scopes, that works with remoting
66 * add journalctl -H that talks via ssh to a remote peer and passes through binary logs data
68 * change journalctl -M to acquire fd to journal directory via machined, and then operate on that via openat() instead of absolute paths
70 * add a version of --merge which also merges /var/log/journal/remote
72 * log accumulated resource usage after each service invocation
74 * nspawn: a nice way to boot up without machine id set, so that it is set at boot automatically for supporting --ephemeral. Maybe hash the host machine id together with the machine name to generate the machine id for the container
76 * logind: rename session scope so that it includes the UID. THat way
77 the session scope can be arranged freely in slices and we don't have
78 make assumptions about their slice anymore.
80 * journalctl: -m should access container journals directly by enumerating them via machined, and also watch containers coming and going. Benefit: nspawn --ephemeral would start working nicely with the journal.
82 * nspawn: don't copy /etc/resolv.conf from host into container unless we are in shared-network mode
84 * nspawn: optionally automatically add FORWARD rules to iptables whenever nspawn is running, remove them when shut down.
86 * importd: generate a nice warning if mkfs.btrfs is missing
88 * nspawn: add a logic for cleaning up read-only, hidden container images in /var/lib/machines that are not ancestors of any non-hidden containers
90 * nspawn: Improve error message when --bind= is used on a non-existing source directory
92 * nspawn: maybe make copying of /etc/resolv.conf optional, and skip it if --read-only is used
94 * man: document how update dkr images works with machinectl
95 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-February/028630.html
97 * nspawn: as soon as networkd has a bus interface, hook up --network-interface=, --network-bridge= with networkd, to trigger netdev creation should an interface be missing
99 * rework C11 utf8.[ch] to use char32_t instead of uint32_t when referring
100 to unicode chars, to make things more expressive.
102 * "machinectl migrate" or similar to copy a container from or to a
103 difference host, via ssh
105 * tmpfiles: creating new directories/subvolumes/fifos/device nodes
106 should not follow symlinks. None of the other adjustment or creation
107 calls follow symlinks.
109 * fstab-generator: default to tmpfs-as-root if only usr= is specified on the kernel cmdline
111 * docs: bring http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/MyServiceCantGetRealtime up to date
113 * mounting and unmounting mount points manually with different source
114 devices will result in collected collected on all devices used.
115 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-April/030225.html
117 * add a job mode that will fail if a transaction would mean stopping
118 running units. Use this in timedated to manage the NTP service
120 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-April/030229.html
122 * Maybe add support for the equivalent of "ethtool advertise" to .link files?
123 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-April/030112.html
125 * .timer units should optionally support CLOCK_BOOTTIME in addition to CLOCK_MONOTONIC
127 * create a btrfs qgroup for /var/lib/machines, and add all container
128 subvolumes we create to it.
130 * When logging about multiple units (stopping BoundTo units, conflicts, etc.),
131 log both units as UNIT=, so that journalctl -u triggers on both.
133 * to allow "linking" of nspawn containers, extend --network-bridge= so
134 that it can dynamically create bridge interfaces that are refcounted
135 by the containers on them. For each group of containers to link together
137 * journalctl --verify: don't show files that are currently being
138 written to as FAIL, but instead show that their are being written
141 * assign MESSAGE_ID to log messages about failed services
143 * coredump: make the handler check /proc/$PID/rlimits for RLIMIT_CORE,
144 and supress coredump if turned off. Then change RLIMIT_CORE to
145 infinity by default for all services. This then allows per-service
146 control of coredumping.
148 * generate better errors when people try to set transient properties
149 that are not supported...
150 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-February/028076.html
152 * Introduce $LISTEN_NAMES to complement $LISTEN_FDS, containing a
153 colon separated list of identifiers for the fds passed.
155 * maybe introduce WantsMountsFor=? Usecase:
156 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-January/027729.html
158 * rework kexec logic to use new kexec_file_load() syscall, so that we
159 don't have to call kexec tool anymore.
161 * The udev blkid built-in should expose a property that reflects
162 whether media was sensed in USB CF/SD card readers. This should then
163 be used to control SYSTEMD_READY=1/0 so that USB card readers aren't
164 picked up by systemd unless they contain a medium. This would mirror
165 the behaviour we already have for CD drives.
167 * nspawn: emulate /dev/kmsg using CUSE and turn off the syslog syscall
168 with seccomp. That should provide us with a useful log buffer that
169 systemd can log to during early boot, and disconnect container logs
170 from the kernel's logs.
172 * networkd/udev: implement SR_IOV configuration in .link files:
173 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-January/027451.html
175 * When RLIMIT_NPROC is set from a unit file it currently always is set
176 for root, not for the user set in User=, which makes it
177 useless. After fixing this, set RLIMIT_NPROC for
178 systemd-journal-xyz, and all other of our services that run under
179 their own user ids, and use User= (but only in a world where userns
180 is ubiquitous since otherwise we cannot invoke those daemons on the
181 host AND in a container anymore). Also, if LimitNPROC= is used
182 without User= we should warn and refuse operation.
184 * logind: maybe allow configuration of the StopTimeout for session scopes
186 * Set NoNewPrivileges= on all of our own services, where that makes sense
188 * Rework systemctl's GetAll property parsing to use the generic bus_map_all_properties() API
190 * rework journald sigbus stuff to use mutex
192 * import-dkr: support tarsum checksum verification, if it becomes reality one day...
194 * import-dkr: convert json bits to nspawn configuration
196 * 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
198 * introduce systemd-nspawn-ephemeral@.service, and hook it into "machinectl start" with a new --ephemeral switch
200 * "machinectl status" should also show internal logs of the container in question
202 * "machinectl list-images" should show os-release data, as well as machine-info data (including deployment level)
204 * Port various tools to make use of verbs.[ch], where applicable
206 * "machinectl history"
210 * "machinectl commit" that takes a writable snapshot of a tree, invokes a shell in it, and marks it read-only after use
212 * systemd-nspawn -x should support ephemeral instances of gpt images
214 * hostnamectl: show root image uuid
216 * sysfs set api in libudev is not const
218 * Find a solution for SMACK capabilities stuff:
219 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-December/026188.html
221 * port libmount hookup to use API's own inotify interface, as soon as that is table in libmount
223 * "systemctl preset-all" should probably order the unit files it
224 operates on lexicographically before starting to work, in order to
225 ensure deterministic behaviour if two unit files conflict (like DMs
228 * resolved should optionally register additional per-interface LLMNR
229 names, so that for the container case we can establish the same name
230 (maybe "host") for referencing the server, everywhere.
232 * systemd-journal-upload (or a new, related tool): allow pushing out
233 journal messages onto the network in BSD syslog protocol,
234 continuously. Default to some link-local IP mcast group, to make this
235 useful as a one-stop debugging tool.
237 * synchronize console access with BSD locks:
238 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-October/024582.html
240 * as soon as we have kdbus, and sender timestamps, revisit coalescing multiple parallel daemon reloads:
241 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-December/025862.html
243 * the install state probably shouldn't get confused by generated units, think dbus1/kdbus compat!
245 * in systemctl list-unit-files: show the install value the presets would suggest for a service in a third column
247 * figure out when we can use the coarse timers
249 * add "systemctl start -v foobar.service" that shows logs of a service
250 while the start command runs. This is non-trivial to do without
251 races though, since we should flush out all journal messages before
252 returning from the "systemctl stop".
254 * 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
256 * timesyncd + resolved: add ugly bus calls to set NTP and DNS servers per-interface, for usage by NM
258 * 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
260 * machined: add an API so that libvirt-lxc can inform us about network interfaces being removed or added to an existing machine
262 * maybe add support for specifier expansion in user.conf, specifically DefaultEnvironment=
264 * code cleanup: retire FOREACH_WORD_QUOTED, port to extract_first_word() loops instead
266 * introduce systemd-timesync-wait.service or so to sync on an NTP fix?
268 * systemd --user should issue sd_notify() upon reaching basic.target, not on becoming idle
270 * consider showing the unit names during boot up in the status output, not just the unit descriptions
272 * dhcp: do we allow configuring dhcp routes on interfaces that are not the one we got the dhcp info from?
274 * maybe allow timer units with an empty Units= setting, so that they
275 can be used for resuming the system but nothing else.
277 * what to do about udev db binary stability for apps? (raw access is not an option)
279 * maybe provide an API to allow migration of foreign PIDs into existing scopes.
281 * maybe support a new very "soft" reboot mode, that simply kills all processes, disassembles everything, flushes /run and sysvipc, and then reexecs systemd again
283 * man: document that corrupted journal files is nothing to act on
285 * man: maybe use the word "inspect" rather than "introspect"?
287 * "machinectl list" should probably show columns for OS version and IP addresses
289 * systemctl: if some operation fails, show log output?
292 - allow creation of units from scratch
293 - use equvalent of cat() to insert existing config as a comment, prepended with #.
294 Upon editor exit, lines with one # are removed, lines with two # are left with one #, etc.
296 * refcounting in sd-resolve is borked
298 * exponential backoff in timesyncd and resolved when we cannot reach a server
300 * extract_many_words() should probably be used by a lot of code that
301 currently uses FOREACH_WORD and friends. For example, most conf
302 parsing callbacks should use it.
304 * merge ~/.local/share and ~/.local/lib into one similar /usr/lib and /usr/share....
306 * systemd.show_status= should probably have a mode where only failed
309 * add systemd.abort_on_kill or some other such flag to send SIGABRT instead of SIGKILL
310 (throughout the codebase, not only PID1)
313 - add LLDP client side support
314 - the DHCP lease data (such as NTP/DNS) is still made available when
315 a carrier is lost on a link. It should be removed instantly.
316 - expose in the API the following bits:
317 - option 15, domain name and/or option 119, search list
318 - option 12, host name and/or option 81, fqdn
319 - option 123, 144, geolocation
320 - option 252, configure http proxy (PAC/wpad)
321 - provide a way to define a per-network interface default metric value
322 for all routes to it. possibly a second default for DHCP routes.
323 - allow Name= to be specified repeatedly in the [Match] section. Maybe also
324 support Name=foo*|bar*|baz ?
325 - duplicate address check for static IPs (like ARPCHECK in network-scripts)
326 - allow DUID/IAID to be customized, see issue #394.
327 - support configuration option for TSO (tcp segmentation offload)
328 - networkd: whenever uplink info changes, make DHCP server send out FORCERENEW
331 - put networkd events and rtnl events at a higher priority, so that
332 we always process them before we process client requests
334 - add display of private key types (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4034#appendix-A.1.1)?
339 - DNS-SD service registration from socket units
341 - dname: Not necessary for plain DNS as synthesized cname is handed out instead if we do not
342 announce dname support. However, for DNSSEC it is necessary as the synthesized cname
346 * Allow multiple ExecStart= for all Type= settings, so that we can cover rescue.service nicely
348 * Add a new verb "systemctl top"
350 * add new gpt type for btrfs volumes
352 * support empty /etc boots nicely:
353 - nspawn/gpt-generator: introduce new gpt partition type for /usr
354 - fstab-generator: support systemd.volatile=yes|no|state on the kernel cmdline, too, similar to nspawn's --volatile=
356 * generator that automatically discovers btrfs subvolumes, identifies their purpose based on some xattr on them.
358 * timer units: actually add extra delays to timer units with high AccuracySec values, don't start them already when we are awake...
360 * a way for container managers to turn off getty starting via $container_headless= or so...
362 * figure out a nice way how we can let the admin know what child/sibling unit causes cgroup membership for a specific unit
364 * mount_cgroup_controllers(): symlinks need to get the label applied
366 * For timer units: add some mechanisms so that timer units that trigger immediately on boot do not have the services
367 they run added to the initial transaction and thus confuse Type=idle.
369 * 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)
371 * sd-event: generate a failure of a default event loop is executed out-of-thread
373 * add bus api to query unit file's X fields.
375 * consider adding RuntimeDirectoryUser= + RuntimeDirectoryGroup=
377 * sd-event: define more intervals where we will shift wakeup intervals around in, 1h, 6h, 24h, ...
379 * gpt-auto-generator:
380 - Support LUKS for root devices
381 - Define new partition type for encrypted swap? Support probed LUKS for encrypted swap?
382 - Make /home automount rather than mount?
384 * add generator that pulls in systemd-network from containers when
385 CAP_NET_ADMIN is set, more than the loopback device is defined, even
386 when it is otherwise off
388 * MessageQueueMessageSize= and RLimitFSIZE= (and suchlike) should use parse_iec_size().
390 * "busctl status" works only as root on dbus1, since we cannot read
393 * implement Distribute= in socket units to allow running multiple
394 service instances processing the listening socket, and open this up
397 * socket units: support creating sockets in different namespace,
398 opening it up for JoinsNamespaceOf=. This would require to fork off
399 a tiny process that joins the namespace and creates/binds the socket
400 and passes this back to PID1 via SCM_RIGHTS. This also could be used
401 to allow Chown/chgrp on sockets without requiring NSS in PID 1.
403 * New service property: maximum CPU and wallclock runtime for a service
405 * introduce bus call FreezeUnit(s, b), as well as "systemctl freeze
406 $UNIT" and "systemctl thaw $UNIT" as wrappers around this. The calls
407 should SIGSTOP all unit processes in a loop until all processes of
408 it are fully stopped. This can later be used for app management by
409 desktop UIs such as gnome-shell to freeze apps that are not visible
410 on screen, not unlike how job control works on the shell
413 - implement per-slice CPUFairScheduling=1 switch
414 - handle jointly mounted controllers correctly
415 - introduce high-level settings for RT budget, swappiness
416 - how to reset dynamically changed unit cgroup attributes sanely?
417 - when reloading configuration, apply new cgroup configuration
418 - when recursively showing the cgroup hierarchy, optionally also show
419 the hierarchies of child processes
422 - add field to transient units that indicate whether systemd or somebody else saves/restores its settings, for integration with libvirt
423 - ensure scope units may be started only a single time
425 * Automatically configure swap partition to use for hibernation by looking for largest swap partition on the root disk?
427 * when we detect low battery and no AC on boot, show pretty splash and refuse boot
429 * machined, localed: when we try to kill an empty cgroup, generate an ESRCH error over the bus
431 * libsystemd-journal, libsystemd-login, libudev: add calls to easily attach these objects to sd-event event loops
433 * be more careful what we export on the bus as (usec_t) 0 and (usec_t) -1
435 * unify dispatch table in systemctl_main() and friends
437 * 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
439 * After coming back from hibernation reset hibernation swap partition using the /dev/snapshot ioctl APIs
441 * If we try to find a unit via a dangling symlink, generate a clean
442 error. Currently, we just ignore it and read the unit from the search
445 * refuse boot if /etc/os-release is missing or /etc/machine-id cannot be set up
447 * btrfs raid assembly: some .device jobs stay stuck in the queue
449 * make sure gdm does not use multi-user-x but the new default X configuration file, and then remove multi-user-x from systemd
451 * man: the documentation of Restart= currently is very misleading and suggests the tools from ExecStartPre= might get restarted.
453 * load .d/*.conf dropins for device units
455 * allow implementation of InaccessibleDirectories=/ plus
456 ReadOnlyDirectories=... for whitelisting files for a service.
460 - GetAllProperties() on a non-existing object does not result in a failure currently
461 - kdbus: process fd=-1 for incoming msgs
462 - port to sd-resolve for connecting to TCP dbus servers
463 - kdbus: maybe add controlling tty metadata fields
464 - 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
465 - when kdbus does not take our message without memfds, try again with memfds
466 - see if we can drop more message validation on the sending side
467 - add API to clone sd_bus_message objects
468 - make AddMatch calls on dbus1 transports async?
469 - kdbus: matches against source or destination pids for an "strace -p"-like feel. Problem: The PID info needs to be available in userspace too...
470 - longer term: priority inheritance
473 - NameLost/NameAcquired obsolete
476 - update systemd.special(7) to mention that dbus.socket is only about the compatibility socket now
477 - test bloom filter generation indexes
478 - bus-proxy: when passing messages from kdbus, make sure we properly
479 handle the case where a large number of fds is appended that we
480 cannot pass into sendmsg() of the AF_UNIX sokcet (which only accepts
482 - kdbus: introduce a concept of "send-only" connections
483 - 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.
486 - allow multiple signal handlers per signal?
487 - document chaining of signal handler for SIGCHLD and child handlers
489 * in the final killing spree, detect processes from the root directory, and
490 complain loudly if they have argv[0][0] == '@' set.
491 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=961044
493 * investigate endianness issues of UUID vs. GUID
495 * dbus: when a unit failed to load (i.e. is in UNIT_ERROR state), we
496 should be able to safely try another attempt when the bus call LoadUnit() is invoked.
498 * add a pam module that passes the hdd passphrase into the PAM stack and then expires it, for usage by gdm auto-login.
500 * add a pam module that on password changes updates any LUKS slot where the password matches
502 * maybe add a generator that looks for "systemd.run=" on the kernel cmdline for container usercases...
504 * cgtop: make cgtop useful in a container
507 - add 'set -e' to scripts in test/
508 - make stuff in test/ work with separate output dir
510 * seems that when we follow symlinks to units we prefer the symlink
511 destination path over /etc and /usr. We should not do that. Instead
512 /etc should always override /run+/usr and also any symlink
515 * when isolating, try to figure out a way how we implicitly can order
516 all units we stop before the isolating unit...
518 * teach ConditionKernelCommandLine= globs or regexes (in order to match foobar={no,0,off})
520 * BootLoaderSpec: Clarify that the kernel has to be in $BOOT. Clarify
521 that the boot loader should be installed to the ESP. Define a way
522 how an installer can figure out whether a BLS compliant boot loader
525 * think about requeuing jobs when daemon-reload is issued? usecase:
526 the initrd issues a reload after fstab from the host is accessible
527 and we might want to requeue the mounts local-fs acquired through
530 * systemd-inhibit: make taking delay locks useful: support sending SIGINT or SIGTERM on PrepareForSleep()
532 * journal-or-kmsg is currently broken? See reverted commit 4a01181e460686d8b4a543b1dfa7f77c9e3c5ab8.
534 * remove any syslog support from log.c -- we probably cannot do this before split-off udev is gone for good
536 * shutdown logging: store to EFI var, and store to USB stick?
538 * write UI tool that pops up emergency messages from the journal as notification
540 * think about window-manager-run-as-user-service problem: exit 0 → activate shutdown.target; exit != 0 → restart service
542 * merge unit_kill_common() and unit_kill_context()
544 * introduce ExecCondition= in services
547 - honor language efi variables for default language selection (if there are any?)
548 - honor timezone efi variables for default timezone selection (if there are any?)
549 - change bootctl to be backed by systemd-bootd to control temporary and persistent default boot goal plus efi variables
551 * maybe do not install getty@tty1.service symlink in /etc but in /usr?
553 * fstab: add new mount option x-systemd-after=/foobar/waldo to allow manual dependencies to other mount points
554 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=812826
556 * print a nicer explanation if people use variable/specifier expansion in ExecStart= for the first word
558 * mount: turn dependency information from /proc/self/mountinfo into dependency information between systemd units.
561 - logind: optionally, ignore idle-hint logic for autosuspend, block suspend as long as a session is around
562 - When we update the kernel all kind of hibernation should be prohibited until shutdown/reboot
563 - logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
564 - Add pretty name for seats in logind
565 - logind: allow showing logout dialog from system?
566 - we should probably handle SIGTERM/SIGINT to not leave dot files around, just in case
567 - session scopes/user unit: add RequiresMountsFor for the home directory of the user
568 - add Suspend() bus calls which take timestamps to fix double suspend issues when somebody hits suspend and closes laptop quickly.
569 - if pam_systemd is invoked by su from a process that is outside of a
570 any session we should probably just become a NOP, since that's
571 usually not a real user session but just some system code that just
573 - logind: make the Suspend()/Hibernate() bus calls wait for the for
574 the job to be completed. before returning, so that clients can wait
575 for "systemctl suspend" to finish to know when the suspending is
577 - logind: when the power button is pressed short, just popup a
578 logout dialog. If it is pressed for 1s, do the usual
579 shutdown. Inspiration are Macs here.
580 - expose "Locked" property on logind sesison objects
581 - given that logind now lets PID 1 do all nasty work, we can
582 probably reduce the capability set it retains substantially.
583 (we need CAP_SYS_ADMIN for drmSetMaster(), so maybe not worth it)
584 - expose orientation sensors and tablet mode through logind
586 * exec: when deinitializating a tty device fix the perms and group, too, not only when initializing. Set access mode/gid to 0620/tty.
588 * service: watchdog logic: for testing purposes allow ping, but do not require pong
591 - consider introducing implicit _TTY= + _PPID= + _EUID= + _EGID= + _FSUID= + _FSGID= fields
592 - import and delete pstore filesystem content at startup
593 - journald: also get thread ID from client, plus thread name
594 - journal: when waiting for journal additions in the client always sleep at least 1s or so, in order to minimize wakeups
595 - add API to close/reopen/get fd for journal client fd in libsystemd-journal.
596 - fallback to /dev/log based logging in libsystemd-journal, if we cannot log natively?
597 - declare the local journal protocol stable in the wiki interface chart
598 - journal: reuse XZ context
599 - sd-journal: speed up sd_journal_get_data() with transparent hash table in bg
600 - journald: when dropping msgs due to ratelimit make sure to write
601 "dropped %u messages" not only when we are about to print the next
602 message that works, but alraedy after a short tiemout
603 - check if we can make journalctl by default use --follow mode inside of less if called without args?
604 - maybe add API to send pairs of iovecs via sd_journal_send
605 - journal: when writing journal auto-rotate if time jumps backwards
606 - journal: add a setgid "systemd-journal" utility to invoke from libsystemd-journal, which passes fds via STDOUT and does PK access
607 - journactl: support negative filtering, i.e. FOOBAR!="waldo",
608 and !FOOBAR for events without FOOBAR.
609 - journal: store timestamp of journal_file_set_offline() int he header,
610 so it is possible to display when the file was last synced.
611 - 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.
612 - journal: find a way to allow dropping history early, based on priority, other rules
613 - journal: When used on NFS, check payload hashes
614 - journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
615 - refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
616 - journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
617 - journal: deal nicely with byte-by-byte copied files, especially regards header
618 - journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the components would fit
619 - Replace utmp, wtmp, btmp, and lastlog completely with journal
620 - journalctl: instead --after-cursor= maybe have a --cursor=XYZ+1 syntax?
621 - when a kernel driver logs in a tight loop, we should ratelimit that too.
622 - journald: optionally, log debug messages to /run but everything else to /var
623 - journald: when we drop syslog messages because the syslog socket is
624 full, make sure to write how many messages are lost as first thing
625 to syslog when it works again.
626 - journald: make sure ratelimit is actually really per-service with the new cgroup changes
627 - change systemd-journal-flush into a service that stays around during
628 boot, and causes the journal to be moved back to /run on shutdown,
629 so that we do not keep /var busy. This needs to happen synchronously,
630 hence doing this via signals is not going to work.
631 - optionally support running journald from the command line for testing purposes in external projects
632 - journald: allow per-priority and per-service retention times when rotating/vacuuming
633 - journald: make use of uid-range.h to managed uid ranges to split
635 - journalctl: add the ability to look for the most recent process of a binary. journalctl /usr/bin/X11 --pid=-1 or so...
636 - improve journalctl performance by loading journal files
637 lazily. Encode just enough information in the file name, so that we
638 do not have to open it to know that it is not interesting for us, for
639 the most common operations.
642 - document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fields in
643 [Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
644 - man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
645 - document the exit codes when services fail before they are exec()ed
646 - document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
647 - document in wiki how to map ical recurrence events to systemd timer unit calendar specifications
648 - add a man page containing packaging guidelines and recommending usage of things like Documentation=, PrivateTmp=, PrivateNetwork= and ReadOnlyDirectories=/etc /usr.
649 - document systemd-journal-flush.service properly
650 - documentation: recommend to connect the timer units of a service to the service via Also= in [Install]
651 - man: document the very specific env the shutdown drop-in tools live in
652 - man: extend runlevel(8) to mention that runlevels suck, and are dead. Maybe add runlevel(7) with a note about that too
653 - man: add more examples to man pages
654 - man: maybe sort directives in man pages, and take sections from --help and apply them to man too
657 - systemctl list-jobs - show dependencies
658 - add systemctl switch to dump transaction without executing it
659 - Add a verbose mode to "systemctl start" and friends that explains what is being done or not done
660 - "systemctl disable" on a static unit prints no message and does
661 nothing. "systemctl enable" does nothing, and gives a bad message
662 about it. Should fix both to print nice actionable messages.
663 - print nice message from systemctl --failed if there are no entries shown, and hook that into ExecStartPre of rescue.service/emergency.service
664 - add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
665 - systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into does not exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
666 - systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
667 - support "systemctl stop foobar@.service" to stop all units matching a certain template
668 - Something is wrong with symlink handling of "autovt@.service" in "systemctl list-unit-files"
669 - better error message if you run systemctl without systemd running
670 - systemctl status output should should include list of triggering units and their status
673 - "systemctl mask" should find all names by which a unit is accessible
674 (i.e. by scanning for symlinks to it) and link them all to /dev/null
675 - systemctl list-unit-files should list generated files (and probably with a new state "generated" for them, or so)
678 - timer units should get the ability to trigger when:
679 o CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (TFD_TIMER_CANCEL_ON_SET)
681 - Support 2012-02~4 as syntax for specifying the fourth to last day of the month.
682 - calendarspec: support value ranges with ".." notation. Example: 2013-4..8-1
683 - 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
684 - Modulate timer frequency based on battery state
686 * add libsystemd-password or so to query passwords during boot using the password agent logic
688 * 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().
690 * clean up date formatting and parsing so that all absolute/relative timestamps we format can also be parsed
692 * on shutdown: move utmp, wall, audit logic all into PID 1 (or logind?), get rid of systemd-update-utmp-runlevel
694 * make repeated alt-ctrl-del presses printing a dump, or even force a reboot without
695 waiting for the timeout
697 * hostnamed: before returning information from /etc/machine-info.conf check the modification data and reread. Similar for localed, ...
699 * currently x-systemd.timeout is lost in the initrd, since crypttab is copied into dracut, but fstab is not
702 - refuses to boot containers without /etc/machine-id (OK?), and with empty /etc/machine-id (not OK).
705 - cryptsetup-generator: allow specification of passwords in crypttab itself
706 - move cryptsetup key caching into kernel keyctl?
707 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54982
708 - support rd.luks.allow-discards= kernel cmdline params in cryptsetup generator
710 * hw watchdog: optionally try to use the preset watchdog timeout instead of always overriding it
711 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54712
713 * after deserializing sockets in socket.c we should reapply sockopts and things
715 * make timer units go away after they elapsed
717 * move PID 1 segfaults to /var/lib/systemd/coredump?
719 * create /sbin/init symlinks from the build system
721 * allow writing multiple conditions in unit files on one line
723 * MountFlags=shared acts as MountFlags=slave right now.
725 * drop PID 1 reloading, only do reexecing (difficult: Reload()
726 currently is properly synchronous, Reexec() is weird, because we
727 cannot delay the response properly until we are back, so instead of
728 being properly synchronous we just keep open the fd and close it
729 when done. That means clients do not get a successful method reply,
730 but much rather a disconnect on success.
732 * properly handle loop back mounts via fstab, especially regards to fsck/passno
734 * initialize the hostname from the fs label of /, if /etc/hostname does not exist?
736 * rename "userspace" to "core-os"
738 * load-fragment: when loading a unit file via a chain of symlinks
739 verify that it is not masked via any of the names traversed.
741 * introduce Type=pid-file
743 * change Requires=basic.target to RequisiteOverride=basic.target
745 * when breaking cycles drop sysv services first, then services from /run, then from /etc, then from /usr
747 * ExecOnFailure=/usr/bin/foo
752 - add trigger --subsystem-match=usb/usb_device device
753 - reimport udev db after MOVE events for devices without dev_t
755 * 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
757 * introduce mix of BindTo and Requisite
759 * There's currently no way to cancel fsck (used to be possible via C-c or c on the console)
761 * add option to sockets to avoid activation. Instead just drop packets/connections, see http://cyberelk.net/tim/2012/02/15/portreserve-systemd-solution/
763 * default unix qlen is too small (10). bump sysctl? add sockopt?
765 * save coredump in Windows/Mozilla minidump format
767 * support crash reporting operation modes (https://live.gnome.org/GnomeOS/Design/Whiteboards/ProblemReporting)
769 * default to actual 32-bit PIDs, via /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max
771 * be able to specify a forced restart of service A where service B depends on, in case B
772 needs to be auto-respawned?
774 * when a bus name of a service disappears from the bus make sure to queue further activation requests
777 - apply "x" on "D" too (see patch from William Douglas)
779 - instead of ignoring unknown fields, reject them.
781 * for services: do not set $HOME in services unless requested
783 * hide PAM options in fragment parser when compile time disabled
785 * when we automatically restart a service, ensure we restart its rdeps, too.
787 * allow Type=simple with PIDFile=
788 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=723942
790 * move PAM code into its own binary
792 * implement Register= switch in .socket units to enable registration
793 in Avahi, RPC and other socket registration services.
795 * make sure systemd-ask-password-wall does not shutdown systemd-ask-password-console too early
797 * add ReloadSignal= for configuring a reload signal to use
799 * verify that the AF_UNIX sockets of a service in the fs still exist
800 when we start a service in order to avoid confusion when a user
801 assumes starting a service is enough to make it accessible
803 * Make it possible to set the keymap independently from the font on
804 the kernel cmdline. Right now setting one resets also the other.
806 * and a dbus call to generate target from current state
808 * GC unreferenced jobs (such as .device jobs)
810 * write blog stories about:
811 - hwdb: what belongs into it, lsusb

828 - hooking a script into various stages of shutdown/rearly booot
830 * allow port=0 in .socket units
832 * recreate systemd's D-Bus private socket file on SIGUSR2
834 * Support --test based on current system state
836 * investigate whether the gnome pty helper should be moved into systemd, to provide cgroup support.
838 * maybe introduce ExecRestartPre=
840 * dot output for --test showing the 'initial transaction'
842 * fingerprint.target, wireless.target, gps.target, netdevice.target
845 - figure out a simple way to wait for journal events in a way that
847 - add documentation to systemd.daemon
850 - plot per-process IO utilization
851 - group processes based on service association (cgroups)
852 - document initcall_debug
853 - kernel cmdline "bootchart" option for simplicity?
856 - Make sure ID_PATH is always exported and complete for
857 network devices where possible, so we can safely rely
859 - check MTUBytes parsing (expecting size_t but we are using unsigned)
862 - add support for more attribute types
863 - inbuilt piping support (essentially degenerate async)? see loopback-setup.c and other places
866 - add more keys to [Route] and [Address] sections
867 - add support for more DHCPv4 options (and, longer term, other kinds of dynamic config)
868 - add proper initrd support (in particular generate .network/.link files based on /proc/cmdline)
869 - add reduced [Link] support to .network files
870 - add Scope= parsing option for [Network]
871 - properly handle routerless dhcp leases
872 - add more attribute support for SIT tunnel

876 * networkd-wait-online:
877 - make operstates to wait for configurable?
880 - figure out how much we can increase Maximum Message Size
881 - support RFC4702 (pass FQDN)
884 - add functions to set previously stored IPv6 addresses on startup and get
885 them at shutdown; store them in client->ia_na
886 - write more test cases
887 - implement reconfigure support, see 5.3., 15.11. and 22.20.
888 - implement support for temporary adressess (IA_TA)
889 - implement dhcpv6 authentication
890 - investigate the usefulness of Confirm messages; i.e. are there any
891 situations where the link changes without any loss in carrier detection
893 - some servers don't do rapid commit without a filled in IA_NA, verify
899 - natively watch for dbus-*.service symlinks (PENDING)
900 - teach dbus to activate all services it finds in /etc/systemd/services/org-*.service
902 * fix alsa mixer restore to not print error when no config is stored
904 * make cryptsetup lower --iter-time
906 * patch kernel for xattr support in /dev, /proc/, /sys?
908 * kernel: add device_type = "fb", "fbcon" to class "graphics"
910 * drop accountsservice's StandardOutput=syslog and Type=dbus fields
912 * dbus upstream still refers to dbus.target and should not
914 * dbus: in fedora, make /var/lib/dbus/machine-id a symlink to /etc/machine-id
916 * add "# export SYSTEMD_PAGER=" to bash login
918 * /usr/bin/service should actually show the new command line
920 * 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=
922 * fedora: F20: go timer units all the way, leave cron.daily for cron
924 * neither pkexec nor sudo initialize environ[] from the PAM environment?
926 * fedora: update policy to declare access mode and ownership of unit files to root:root 0644, and add an rpmlint check for it
928 * register catalog database signature as file magic
930 * zsh shell completion:
931 - <command> <verb> -<TAB> should complete options, but currently does not
932 - systemctl add-wants,add-requires
937 * look for close() vs. close_nointr() vs. close_nointr_nofail()
939 * check for strerror(r) instead of strerror(-r)
941 * Use PR_SET_PROCTITLE_AREA if it becomes available in the kernel
945 * set_put(), hashmap_put() return values check. i.e. == 0 does not free()!
947 * use secure_getenv() instead of getenv() where appropriate
949 * link up selected blog stories from man pages and unit files Documentation= fields
951 Scheduled for removal or fixing:
953 * xxxOverridable dependencies (probably: fix)
