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 * code cleanup: retire FOREACH_WORD_QUOTED, port to extract_first_word() loops instead
28 * replace manual readdir() loops with FOREACH_DIRENT or FOREACH_DIRENT_ALL
30 * Get rid of the last strerror() invocations in favour of %m and strerror_r()
32 * Rearrange tests so that the various test-xyz.c match a specific src/basic/xyz.c again
36 * resolved: maybe add a switch to disable any local caching
38 * ProtectKernelLogs= (drops CAP_SYSLOG, add seccomp for syslog() syscall, and DeviceAllow to /dev/kmsg) in service files
40 * ProtectClock= (drops CAP_SYS_TIMES, adds seecomp filters for settimeofday, adjtimex), sets DeviceAllow o /dev/rtc
42 * ProtectMount= (drop mount/umount/pivot_root from seccomp, disallow fuse via DeviceAllow, imply Mountflags=slave)
44 * ProtectDevices= should also take iopl/ioperm/pciaccess away
46 * ProtectKeyRing= to take keyring calls away
48 * RestrictNamespaces= or so in services (taking away the ability to create namespaces, with setns, unshare, clone)
50 * RestrictRealtime= which takes aware ability to create realtime processes
52 * nspawn: make /proc/sys/net writable?
54 * make sure the ratelimit object can deal with USEC_INFINITY as way to turn off things
56 * journalctl: make sure -f ends when the container indicated by -M terminates
58 * expose the "privileged" flag of ExecCommand on the bus, and open it up to
61 * rework fopen_temporary() to make use of open_tmpfile_linkable() (problem: the
62 kernel doesn't support linkat() that replaces existing files, currently)
64 * check if DeviceAllow= should split first, resolve specifiers later
66 * transient units: don't bother with actually setting unit properties, we
67 reload the unit file anyway
69 * make sure resolved can be restarted without losing pushed-in dns config
71 * journald: sigbus API via a signal-handler safe function that people may call
72 from the SIGBUS handler
74 * when using UTF8, ellipsize with "…" rather than "...", so that we can show more contents before truncating
76 * move specifier expansion from service_spawn() into load-fragment.c
78 * optionally, also require WATCHDOG=1 notifications during service start-up and shutdown
80 * resolved: when routing queries, make sure only look for the *longest* suffix...
82 * resolved: maybe, after all, implement local listening for DNS packets on port
85 * delay activation of logind until somebody logs in, or when /dev/tty0 pulls it
86 in or lingering is on (so that containers don't bother with it until PAM is used). also exit-on-idle
88 * cache sd_event_now() result from before the first iteration...
90 * add systemctl stop --job-mode=triggering that follows TRIGGERED_BY deps and adds them to the same transaction
92 * Maybe add a way how users can "pin" units into memory, so that they are not subject to automatic GC?
94 * PID1: find a way how we can reload unit file configuration for
95 specific units only, without reloading the whole of systemd
97 * add an explicit parser for LimitRTPRIO= that verifies
98 the specified range and generates sane error messages for incorrect
101 * do something about "/control" subcgroups in the unified cgroup hierarchy
103 * when we detect that there are waiting jobs but no running jobs, do something
105 * push CPUAffinity= also into the "cpuset" cgroup controller (only after the cpuset controller got ported to the unified hierarchy)
107 * PID 1 should send out sd_notify("WATCHDOG=1") messages (for usage in the --user mode, and when run via nspawn)
109 * consider throwing a warning if a service declares it wants to be "Before=" a .device unit.
111 * there's probably something wrong with having user mounts below /sys,
112 as we have for debugfs. for exmaple, src/core/mount.c handles mounts
113 prefixed with /sys generally special.
114 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-June/032962.html
116 * man: document that unless you use StandardError=null the shell >/dev/stderr won't work in shell scripts in services
118 * install: include generator dirs in unit file search paths
120 * fstab-generator: default to tmpfs-as-root if only usr= is specified on the kernel cmdline
122 * docs: bring http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/MyServiceCantGetRealtime up to date
124 * mounting and unmounting mount points manually with different source
125 devices will result in collected collected on all devices used.
126 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-April/030225.html
128 * add a job mode that will fail if a transaction would mean stopping
129 running units. Use this in timedated to manage the NTP service
131 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-April/030229.html
133 * Maybe add support for the equivalent of "ethtool advertise" to .link files?
134 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-April/030112.html
136 * The udev blkid built-in should expose a property that reflects
137 whether media was sensed in USB CF/SD card readers. This should then
138 be used to control SYSTEMD_READY=1/0 so that USB card readers aren't
139 picked up by systemd unless they contain a medium. This would mirror
140 the behaviour we already have for CD drives.
142 * networkd/udev: implement SR_IOV configuration in .link files:
143 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-January/027451.html
145 * Rework systemctl's GetAll property parsing to use the generic bus_map_all_properties() API
147 * implement a per-service firewall based on net_cls
149 * Port various tools to make use of verbs.[ch], where applicable: busctl,
150 bootctl, coredumpctl, hostnamectl, localectl, systemd-analyze, timedatectl
152 * hostnamectl: show root image uuid
154 * sysfs set api in libudev is not const
156 * Find a solution for SMACK capabilities stuff:
157 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-December/026188.html
159 * "systemctl preset-all" should probably order the unit files it
160 operates on lexicographically before starting to work, in order to
161 ensure deterministic behaviour if two unit files conflict (like DMs
164 * synchronize console access with BSD locks:
165 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-October/024582.html
167 * as soon as we have kdbus, and sender timestamps, revisit coalescing multiple parallel daemon reloads:
168 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-December/025862.html
170 * in systemctl list-unit-files: show the install value the presets would suggest for a service in a third column
172 * figure out when we can use the coarse timers
174 * add "systemctl start -v foobar.service" that shows logs of a service
175 while the start command runs. This is non-trivial to do without
176 races though, since we should flush out all journal messages before
177 returning from the "systemctl stop".
179 * 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
181 * maybe add support for specifier expansion in user.conf, specifically DefaultEnvironment=
183 * introduce systemd-timesync-wait.service or so to sync on an NTP fix?
185 * systemd --user should issue sd_notify() upon reaching basic.target, not on becoming idle
187 * consider showing the unit names during boot up in the status output, not just the unit descriptions
189 * maybe allow timer units with an empty Units= setting, so that they
190 can be used for resuming the system but nothing else.
192 * what to do about udev db binary stability for apps? (raw access is not an option)
194 * maybe provide an API to allow migration of foreign PIDs into existing scopes.
196 * man: maybe use the word "inspect" rather than "introspect"?
198 * systemctl: if some operation fails, show log output?
201 - allow creation of units from scratch
202 - use equvalent of cat() to insert existing config as a comment, prepended with #.
203 Upon editor exit, lines with one # are removed, lines with two # are left with one #, etc.
205 * exponential backoff in timesyncd when we cannot reach a server
207 * timesyncd: add ugly bus calls to set NTP servers per-interface, for usage by NM
209 * extract_many_words() should probably be used by a lot of code that
210 currently uses FOREACH_WORD and friends. For example, most conf
211 parsing callbacks should use it.
213 * merge ~/.local/share and ~/.local/lib into one similar /usr/lib and /usr/share....
215 * systemd.show_status= should probably have a mode where only failed
218 * add systemd.abort_on_kill or some other such flag to send SIGABRT instead of SIGKILL
219 (throughout the codebase, not only PID1)
223 - service registration
224 - service/domain/types browsing
226 - DNS-SD service registration from socket units
227 - resolved should optionally register additional per-interface LLMNR
228 names, so that for the container case we can establish the same name
229 (maybe "host") for referencing the server, everywhere.
230 - allow clients to request DNSSEC for a single lookup even if DNSSEC is off (?)
232 * refcounting in sd-resolve is borked
234 * Add a new verb "systemctl top"
236 * add new gpt type for btrfs volumes
238 * support empty /etc boots nicely:
239 - nspawn/gpt-generator: introduce new gpt partition type for /usr
240 - fstab-generator: support systemd.volatile=yes|no|state on the kernel cmdline, too, similar to nspawn's --volatile=
242 * generator that automatically discovers btrfs subvolumes, identifies their purpose based on some xattr on them.
244 * a way for container managers to turn off getty starting via $container_headless= or so...
246 * figure out a nice way how we can let the admin know what child/sibling unit causes cgroup membership for a specific unit
248 * mount_cgroup_controllers(): symlinks need to get the label applied
250 * For timer units: add some mechanisms so that timer units that trigger immediately on boot do not have the services
251 they run added to the initial transaction and thus confuse Type=idle.
253 * 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)
255 * add bus api to query unit file's X fields.
257 * gpt-auto-generator:
258 - Support LUKS for root devices
259 - Define new partition type for encrypted swap? Support probed LUKS for encrypted swap?
260 - Make /home automount rather than mount?
262 * add generator that pulls in systemd-network from containers when
263 CAP_NET_ADMIN is set, more than the loopback device is defined, even
264 when it is otherwise off
266 * MessageQueueMessageSize= (and suchlike) should use parse_iec_size().
268 * "busctl status" works only as root on dbus1, since we cannot read
271 * implement Distribute= in socket units to allow running multiple
272 service instances processing the listening socket, and open this up
275 * socket units: support creating sockets in different namespace,
276 opening it up for JoinsNamespaceOf=. This would require to fork off
277 a tiny process that joins the namespace and creates/binds the socket
278 and passes this back to PID1 via SCM_RIGHTS. This also could be used
279 to allow Chown/chgrp on sockets without requiring NSS in PID 1.
281 * New service property: maximum CPU runtime for a service
283 * introduce bus call FreezeUnit(s, b), as well as "systemctl freeze
284 $UNIT" and "systemctl thaw $UNIT" as wrappers around this. The calls
285 should SIGSTOP all unit processes in a loop until all processes of
286 it are fully stopped. This can later be used for app management by
287 desktop UIs such as gnome-shell to freeze apps that are not visible
288 on screen, not unlike how job control works on the shell
291 - implement per-slice CPUFairScheduling=1 switch
292 - handle jointly mounted controllers correctly
293 - introduce high-level settings for RT budget, swappiness
294 - how to reset dynamically changed unit cgroup attributes sanely?
295 - when reloading configuration, apply new cgroup configuration
296 - when recursively showing the cgroup hierarchy, optionally also show
297 the hierarchies of child processes
300 - add field to transient units that indicate whether systemd or somebody else saves/restores its settings, for integration with libvirt
301 - ensure scope units may be started only a single time
303 * Automatically configure swap partition to use for hibernation by looking for largest swap partition on the root disk?
305 * when we detect low battery and no AC on boot, show pretty splash and refuse boot
307 * libsystemd-journal, libsystemd-login, libudev: add calls to easily attach these objects to sd-event event loops
309 * be more careful what we export on the bus as (usec_t) 0 and (usec_t) -1
311 * 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
313 * After coming back from hibernation reset hibernation swap partition using the /dev/snapshot ioctl APIs
315 * If we try to find a unit via a dangling symlink, generate a clean
316 error. Currently, we just ignore it and read the unit from the search
319 * refuse boot if /etc/os-release is missing or /etc/machine-id cannot be set up
321 * btrfs raid assembly: some .device jobs stay stuck in the queue
323 * make sure gdm does not use multi-user-x but the new default X configuration file, and then remove multi-user-x from systemd
325 * man: the documentation of Restart= currently is very misleading and suggests the tools from ExecStartPre= might get restarted.
327 * load .d/*.conf dropins for device units
329 * allow implementation of InaccessibleDirectories=/ plus
330 ReadOnlyDirectories=... for whitelisting files for a service.
334 - GetAllProperties() on a non-existing object does not result in a failure currently
335 - kdbus: process fd=-1 for incoming msgs
336 - port to sd-resolve for connecting to TCP dbus servers
337 - kdbus: maybe add controlling tty metadata fields
338 - 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
339 - when kdbus does not take our message without memfds, try again with memfds
340 - see if we can drop more message validation on the sending side
341 - add API to clone sd_bus_message objects
342 - make AddMatch calls on dbus1 transports async?
343 - kdbus: matches against source or destination pids for an "strace -p"-like feel. Problem: The PID info needs to be available in userspace too...
344 - longer term: priority inheritance
347 - NameLost/NameAcquired obsolete
350 - update systemd.special(7) to mention that dbus.socket is only about the compatibility socket now
351 - test bloom filter generation indexes
352 - kdbus: introduce a concept of "send-only" connections
353 - 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.
356 - allow multiple signal handlers per signal?
357 - document chaining of signal handler for SIGCHLD and child handlers
358 - define more intervals where we will shift wakeup intervals around in, 1h, 6h, 24h, ...
359 - generate a failure of a default event loop is executed out-of-thread
360 - maybe add support for inotify events
362 * investigate endianness issues of UUID vs. GUID
364 * dbus: when a unit failed to load (i.e. is in UNIT_ERROR state), we
365 should be able to safely try another attempt when the bus call LoadUnit() is invoked.
367 * add a pam module that passes the hdd passphrase into the PAM stack and then expires it, for usage by gdm auto-login.
369 * add a pam module that on password changes updates any LUKS slot where the password matches
371 * maybe add a generator that looks for "systemd.run=" on the kernel cmdline for container usercases...
373 * cgtop: make cgtop useful in a container
376 - add 'set -e' to scripts in test/
377 - make stuff in test/ work with separate output dir
379 * seems that when we follow symlinks to units we prefer the symlink
380 destination path over /etc and /usr. We should not do that. Instead
381 /etc should always override /run+/usr and also any symlink
384 * when isolating, try to figure out a way how we implicitly can order
385 all units we stop before the isolating unit...
387 * teach ConditionKernelCommandLine= globs or regexes (in order to match foobar={no,0,off})
389 * BootLoaderSpec: Clarify that the kernel has to be in $BOOT. Clarify
390 that the boot loader should be installed to the ESP. Define a way
391 how an installer can figure out whether a BLS compliant boot loader
394 * think about requeuing jobs when daemon-reload is issued? usecase:
395 the initrd issues a reload after fstab from the host is accessible
396 and we might want to requeue the mounts local-fs acquired through
399 * systemd-inhibit: make taking delay locks useful: support sending SIGINT or SIGTERM on PrepareForSleep()
401 * remove any syslog support from log.c — we probably cannot do this before split-off udev is gone for good
403 * shutdown logging: store to EFI var, and store to USB stick?
405 * think about window-manager-run-as-user-service problem: exit 0 → activate shutdown.target; exit != 0 → restart service
407 * merge unit_kill_common() and unit_kill_context()
409 * introduce ExecCondition= in services
412 - honor language efi variables for default language selection (if there are any?)
413 - honor timezone efi variables for default timezone selection (if there are any?)
414 - change bootctl to be backed by systemd-bootd to control temporary and persistent default boot goal plus efi variables
416 * maybe do not install getty@tty1.service symlink in /etc but in /usr?
418 * print a nicer explanation if people use variable/specifier expansion in ExecStart= for the first word
420 * mount: turn dependency information from /proc/self/mountinfo into dependency information between systemd units.
423 - logind: optionally, ignore idle-hint logic for autosuspend, block suspend as long as a session is around
424 - When we update the kernel all kind of hibernation should be prohibited until shutdown/reboot
425 - logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
426 - Add pretty name for seats in logind
427 - logind: allow showing logout dialog from system?
428 - we should probably handle SIGTERM/SIGINT to not leave dot files around, just in case
429 - session scopes/user unit: add RequiresMountsFor for the home directory of the user
430 - add Suspend() bus calls which take timestamps to fix double suspend issues when somebody hits suspend and closes laptop quickly.
431 - if pam_systemd is invoked by su from a process that is outside of a
432 any session we should probably just become a NOP, since that's
433 usually not a real user session but just some system code that just
435 - logind: make the Suspend()/Hibernate() bus calls wait for the for
436 the job to be completed. before returning, so that clients can wait
437 for "systemctl suspend" to finish to know when the suspending is
439 - logind: when the power button is pressed short, just popup a
440 logout dialog. If it is pressed for 1s, do the usual
441 shutdown. Inspiration are Macs here.
442 - expose "Locked" property on logind sesison objects
443 - given that logind now lets PID 1 do all nasty work, we can
444 probably reduce the capability set it retains substantially.
445 (we need CAP_SYS_ADMIN for drmSetMaster(), so maybe not worth it)
446 - expose orientation sensors and tablet mode through logind
447 - maybe allow configuration of the StopTimeout for session scopes
448 - rename session scope so that it includes the UID. THat way
449 the session scope can be arranged freely in slices and we don't have
450 make assumptions about their slice anymore.
451 - follow PropertiesChanged state more closely, to deal with quick logouts and
454 * exec: when deinitializating a tty device fix the perms and group, too, not only when initializing. Set access mode/gid to 0620/tty.
456 * service: watchdog logic: for testing purposes allow ping, but do not require pong
459 - consider introducing implicit _TTY= + _PPID= + _EUID= + _EGID= + _FSUID= + _FSGID= fields
460 - import and delete pstore filesystem content at startup
461 - journald: also get thread ID from client, plus thread name
462 - journal: when waiting for journal additions in the client always sleep at least 1s or so, in order to minimize wakeups
463 - add API to close/reopen/get fd for journal client fd in libsystemd-journal.
464 - fallback to /dev/log based logging in libsystemd-journal, if we cannot log natively?
465 - declare the local journal protocol stable in the wiki interface chart
466 - sd-journal: speed up sd_journal_get_data() with transparent hash table in bg
467 - journald: when dropping msgs due to ratelimit make sure to write
468 "dropped %u messages" not only when we are about to print the next
469 message that works, but alraedy after a short tiemout
470 - check if we can make journalctl by default use --follow mode inside of less if called without args?
471 - maybe add API to send pairs of iovecs via sd_journal_send
472 - journal: when writing journal auto-rotate if time jumps backwards
473 - journal: add a setgid "systemd-journal" utility to invoke from libsystemd-journal, which passes fds via STDOUT and does PK access
474 - journactl: support negative filtering, i.e. FOOBAR!="waldo",
475 and !FOOBAR for events without FOOBAR.
476 - journal: store timestamp of journal_file_set_offline() int he header,
477 so it is possible to display when the file was last synced.
478 - 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.
479 - journal: find a way to allow dropping history early, based on priority, other rules
480 - journal: When used on NFS, check payload hashes
481 - journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
482 - refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
483 - journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
484 - journal: deal nicely with byte-by-byte copied files, especially regards header
485 - journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the components would fit
486 - Replace utmp, wtmp, btmp, and lastlog completely with journal
487 - journalctl: instead --after-cursor= maybe have a --cursor=XYZ+1 syntax?
488 - when a kernel driver logs in a tight loop, we should ratelimit that too.
489 - journald: optionally, log debug messages to /run but everything else to /var
490 - journald: when we drop syslog messages because the syslog socket is
491 full, make sure to write how many messages are lost as first thing
492 to syslog when it works again.
493 - journald: make sure ratelimit is actually really per-service with the new cgroup changes
494 - change systemd-journal-flush into a service that stays around during
495 boot, and causes the journal to be moved back to /run on shutdown,
496 so that we do not keep /var busy. This needs to happen synchronously,
497 hence doing this via signals is not going to work.
498 - optionally support running journald from the command line for testing purposes in external projects
499 - journald: allow per-priority and per-service retention times when rotating/vacuuming
500 - journald: make use of uid-range.h to managed uid ranges to split
502 - journalctl: add the ability to look for the most recent process of a binary. journalctl /usr/bin/X11 --pid=-1 or so...
503 - improve journalctl performance by loading journal files
504 lazily. Encode just enough information in the file name, so that we
505 do not have to open it to know that it is not interesting for us, for
506 the most common operations.
507 - journal-or-kmsg is currently broken? See reverted
508 commit 4a01181e460686d8b4a543b1dfa7f77c9e3c5ab8.
509 - man: document that corrupted journal files is nothing to act on
510 - rework journald sigbus stuff to use mutex
511 - Set RLIMIT_NPROC for systemd-journal-xyz, and all other of our
512 services that run under their own user ids, and use User= (but only
513 in a world where userns is ubiquitous since otherwise we cannot
514 invoke those daemons on the host AND in a container anymore). Also,
515 if LimitNPROC= is used without User= we should warn and refuse
517 - journalctl --verify: don't show files that are currently being
518 written to as FAIL, but instead show that their are being written to.
519 - add journalctl -H that talks via ssh to a remote peer and passes through
521 - add a version of --merge which also merges /var/log/journal/remote
522 - log accumulated resource usage after each service invocation
523 - journalctl: -m should access container journals directly by enumerating
524 them via machined, and also watch containers coming and going.
525 Benefit: nspawn --ephemeral would start working nicely with the journal.
526 - assign MESSAGE_ID to log messages about failed services
529 - document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fields in
530 [Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
531 - man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
532 - document the exit codes when services fail before they are exec()ed
533 - document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
534 - document in wiki how to map ical recurrence events to systemd timer unit calendar specifications
535 - add a man page containing packaging guidelines and recommending usage of things like Documentation=, PrivateTmp=, PrivateNetwork= and ReadOnlyDirectories=/etc /usr.
536 - document systemd-journal-flush.service properly
537 - documentation: recommend to connect the timer units of a service to the service via Also= in [Install]
538 - man: document the very specific env the shutdown drop-in tools live in
539 - man: add more examples to man pages
540 - man: maybe sort directives in man pages, and take sections from --help and apply them to man too
543 - systemctl list-jobs - show dependencies
544 - add systemctl switch to dump transaction without executing it
545 - Add a verbose mode to "systemctl start" and friends that explains what is being done or not done
546 - "systemctl disable" on a static unit prints no message and does
547 nothing. "systemctl enable" does nothing, and gives a bad message
548 about it. Should fix both to print nice actionable messages.
549 - print nice message from systemctl --failed if there are no entries shown, and hook that into ExecStartPre of rescue.service/emergency.service
550 - add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
551 - systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into does not exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
552 - systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
553 - better error message if you run systemctl without systemd running
554 - systemctl status output should should include list of triggering units and their status
557 - "systemctl mask" should find all names by which a unit is accessible
558 (i.e. by scanning for symlinks to it) and link them all to /dev/null
561 - timer units should get the ability to trigger when:
562 o CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (TFD_TIMER_CANCEL_ON_SET)
564 - Support 2012-02~4 as syntax for specifying the fourth to last day of the month.
565 - calendarspec: support value ranges with ".." notation. Example: 2013-4..8-1
566 - Modulate timer frequency based on battery state
568 * add libsystemd-password or so to query passwords during boot using the password agent logic
570 * clean up date formatting and parsing so that all absolute/relative timestamps we format can also be parsed
572 * on shutdown: move utmp, wall, audit logic all into PID 1 (or logind?), get rid of systemd-update-utmp-runlevel
574 * make repeated alt-ctrl-del presses printing a dump, or even force a reboot without
575 waiting for the timeout
577 * hostnamed: before returning information from /etc/machine-info.conf check the modification data and reread. Similar for localed, ...
579 * currently x-systemd.timeout is lost in the initrd, since crypttab is copied into dracut, but fstab is not
582 - to allow "linking" of nspawn containers, extend --network-bridge= so
583 that it can dynamically create bridge interfaces that are refcounted
584 by the containers on them. For each group of containers to link together
585 - nspawn -x should support ephemeral instances of gpt images
586 - emulate /dev/kmsg using CUSE and turn off the syslog syscall
587 with seccomp. That should provide us with a useful log buffer that
588 systemd can log to during early boot, and disconnect container logs
589 from the kernel's logs.
590 - as soon as networkd has a bus interface, hook up --network-interface=,
591 --network-bridge= with networkd, to trigger netdev creation should an
593 - don't copy /etc/resolv.conf from host into container unless we are in
595 - a nice way to boot up without machine id set, so that it is set at boot
596 automatically for supporting --ephemeral. Maybe hash the host machine id
597 together with the machine name to generate the machine id for the container
598 - fix logic always print a final newline on output.
599 https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/272#issuecomment-113153176
600 - should optionally support receiving WATCHDOG=1 messages from its payload
602 - should send out sd_notify("WATCHDOG=1") messages
603 - optionally automatically add FORWARD rules to iptables whenever nspawn is
604 running, remove them when shut down.
605 - Improve error message when --bind= is used on a non-existing source
607 - maybe make copying of /etc/resolv.conf optional, and skip it if --read-only
611 - "machinectl list" should probably show columns for OS version and IP
613 - add an API so that libvirt-lxc can inform us about network interfaces being
614 removed or added to an existing machine
615 - "machinectl migrate" or similar to copy a container from or to a
616 difference host, via ssh
617 - introduce systemd-nspawn-ephemeral@.service, and hook it into
618 "machinectl start" with a new --ephemeral switch
619 - "machinectl status" should also show internal logs of the container in
621 - "machinectl list-images" should show os-release data, as well as
622 machine-info data (including deployment level)
623 - "machinectl history"
625 - "machinectl commit" that takes a writable snapshot of a tree, invokes a
626 shell in it, and marks it read-only after use
629 - generate a nice warning if mkfs.btrfs is missing
632 - cryptsetup-generator: allow specification of passwords in crypttab itself
633 - move cryptsetup key caching into kernel keyctl?
634 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54982
635 - support rd.luks.allow-discards= kernel cmdline params in cryptsetup generator
637 * hw watchdog: optionally try to use the preset watchdog timeout instead of always overriding it
638 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54712
640 * create /sbin/init symlinks from the build system
642 * MountFlags=shared acts as MountFlags=slave right now.
644 * properly handle loop back mounts via fstab, especially regards to fsck/passno
646 * initialize the hostname from the fs label of /, if /etc/hostname does not exist?
651 - add trigger --subsystem-match=usb/usb_device device
652 - reimport udev db after MOVE events for devices without dev_t
654 * 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
656 * There's currently no way to cancel fsck (used to be possible via C-c or c on the console)
658 * add option to sockets to avoid activation. Instead just drop packets/connections, see http://cyberelk.net/tim/2012/02/15/portreserve-systemd-solution/
661 - save coredump in Windows/Mozilla minidump format
662 - move PID 1 segfaults to /var/lib/systemd/coredump?
664 * support crash reporting operation modes (https://live.gnome.org/GnomeOS/Design/Whiteboards/ProblemReporting)
666 * default to actual 32-bit PIDs, via /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max
668 * be able to specify a forced restart of service A where service B depends on, in case B
669 needs to be auto-respawned?
672 - apply "x" on "D" too (see patch from William Douglas)
674 - instead of ignoring unknown fields, reject them.
675 - creating new directories/subvolumes/fifos/device nodes
676 should not follow symlinks. None of the other adjustment or creation
677 calls follow symlinks.
679 * make sure systemd-ask-password-wall does not shutdown systemd-ask-password-console too early
681 * verify that the AF_UNIX sockets of a service in the fs still exist
682 when we start a service in order to avoid confusion when a user
683 assumes starting a service is enough to make it accessible
685 * Make it possible to set the keymap independently from the font on
686 the kernel cmdline. Right now setting one resets also the other.
688 * and a dbus call to generate target from current state
690 * write blog stories about:
691 - hwdb: what belongs into it, lsusb
692 - enabling dbus services
694 - how to make changes to sysctl and sysfs attributes
696 - how to pass throw-away units to systemd, or dynamically change properties of existing units
697 - testing with Harald's awesome test kit
699 - how to develop against journal browsing APIs
700 - the journal HTTP iface
701 - non-cgroup resource management
702 - dynamic resource management with cgroups
703 - refreshed, longer missions statement
704 - calendar time events
705 - init=/bin/sh vs. "emergency" mode, vs. "rescue" mode, vs. "multi-user" mode, vs. "graphical" mode, and the debug shell
706 - how to create your own target
707 - instantiated apache, dovecot and so on
708 - hooking a script into various stages of shutdown/rearly booot
710 * investigate whether the gnome pty helper should be moved into systemd, to provide cgroup support.
712 * dot output for --test showing the 'initial transaction'
714 * fingerprint.target, wireless.target, gps.target, netdevice.target
717 - .timer units should optionally support CLOCK_BOOTTIME in addition to CLOCK_MONOTONIC
718 - When logging about multiple units (stopping BoundTo units, conflicts, etc.),
719 log both units as UNIT=, so that journalctl -u triggers on both.
720 - generate better errors when people try to set transient properties
721 that are not supported...
722 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-February/028076.html
723 - maybe introduce WantsMountsFor=? Usecase:
724 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-January/027729.html
725 - recreate systemd's D-Bus private socket file on SIGUSR2
726 - GC unreferenced jobs (such as .device jobs)
727 - move PAM code into its own binary
728 - when we automatically restart a service, ensure we restart its rdeps, too.
729 - for services: do not set $HOME in services unless requested
730 - hide PAM options in fragment parser when compile time disabled
731 - Support --test based on current system state
732 - 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().
733 - after deserializing sockets in socket.c we should reapply sockopts and things
734 - drop PID 1 reloading, only do reexecing (difficult: Reload()
735 currently is properly synchronous, Reexec() is weird, because we
736 cannot delay the response properly until we are back, so instead of
737 being properly synchronous we just keep open the fd and close it
738 when done. That means clients do not get a successful method reply,
739 but much rather a disconnect on success.
740 - when breaking cycles drop sysv services first, then services from /run, then from /etc, then from /usr
741 - when a bus name of a service disappears from the bus make sure to queue further activation requests
744 - allow port=0 in .socket units
745 - maybe introduce ExecRestartPre=
746 - add ReloadSignal= for configuring a reload signal to use
747 - implement Register= switch in .socket units to enable registration
748 in Avahi, RPC and other socket registration services.
749 - allow Type=simple with PIDFile=
750 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=723942
751 - allow writing multiple conditions in unit files on one line
752 - load-fragment: when loading a unit file via a chain of symlinks
753 verify that it is not masked via any of the names traversed.
754 - introduce Type=pid-file
755 - ExecOnFailure=/usr/bin/foo
756 - introduce mix of BindTo and Requisite
757 - add a concept of RemainAfterExit= to scope units
758 - Set NoNewPrivileges= on all of our own services, where that makes sense
759 - Allow multiple ExecStart= for all Type= settings, so that we can cover rescue.service nicely
760 - consider adding RuntimeDirectoryUser= + RuntimeDirectoryGroup=
763 - Make sure ID_PATH is always exported and complete for
764 network devices where possible, so we can safely rely
766 - check MTUBytes parsing (expecting size_t but we are using unsigned)
769 - add support for more attribute types
770 - inbuilt piping support (essentially degenerate async)? see loopback-setup.c and other places
773 - add more keys to [Route] and [Address] sections
774 - add support for more DHCPv4 options (and, longer term, other kinds of dynamic config)
775 - add proper initrd support (in particular generate .network/.link files based on /proc/cmdline)
776 - add reduced [Link] support to .network files
777 - add Scope= parsing option for [Network]
778 - properly handle routerless dhcp leases
779 - add more attribute support for SIT tunnel
780 - work with non-Ethernet devices
781 - add support for more bond options
782 - dhcp: do we allow configuring dhcp routes on interfaces that are not the one we got the dhcp info from?
783 - the DHCP lease data (such as NTP/DNS) is still made available when
784 a carrier is lost on a link. It should be removed instantly.
785 - expose in the API the following bits:
786 - option 15, domain name and/or option 119, search list
787 - option 12, host name and/or option 81, fqdn
788 - option 123, 144, geolocation
789 - option 252, configure http proxy (PAC/wpad)
790 - provide a way to define a per-network interface default metric value
791 for all routes to it. possibly a second default for DHCP routes.
792 - allow Name= to be specified repeatedly in the [Match] section. Maybe also
793 support Name=foo*|bar*|baz ?
794 - duplicate address check for static IPs (like ARPCHECK in network-scripts)
795 - allow DUID/IAID to be customized, see issue #394.
796 - support configuration option for TSO (tcp segmentation offload)
797 - whenever uplink info changes, make DHCP server send out FORCERENEW
799 * networkd-wait-online:
800 - make operstates to wait for configurable?
803 - figure out how much we can increase Maximum Message Size
804 - support RFC4702 (pass FQDN)
807 - add functions to set previously stored IPv6 addresses on startup and get
808 them at shutdown; store them in client->ia_na
809 - write more test cases
810 - implement reconfigure support, see 5.3., 15.11. and 22.20.
811 - implement support for temporary adressess (IA_TA)
812 - implement dhcpv6 authentication
813 - investigate the usefulness of Confirm messages; i.e. are there any
814 situations where the link changes without any loss in carrier detection
816 - some servers don't do rapid commit without a filled in IA_NA, verify
822 - natively watch for dbus-*.service symlinks (PENDING)
823 - teach dbus to activate all services it finds in /etc/systemd/services/org-*.service
825 * fix alsa mixer restore to not print error when no config is stored
827 * make cryptsetup lower --iter-time
829 * patch kernel for xattr support in /dev, /proc/, /sys?
831 * kernel: add device_type = "fb", "fbcon" to class "graphics"
833 * drop accountsservice's StandardOutput=syslog and Type=dbus fields
835 * dbus: in fedora, make /var/lib/dbus/machine-id a symlink to /etc/machine-id
837 * /usr/bin/service should actually show the new command line
839 * 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=
841 * fedora: F20: go timer units all the way, leave cron.daily for cron
843 * neither pkexec nor sudo initialize environ[] from the PAM environment?
845 * fedora: update policy to declare access mode and ownership of unit files to root:root 0644, and add an rpmlint check for it
847 * register catalog database signature as file magic
849 * zsh shell completion:
850 - <command> <verb> -<TAB> should complete options, but currently does not
851 - systemctl add-wants,add-requires
856 * look for close() vs. close_nointr() vs. close_nointr_nofail()
858 * check for strerror(r) instead of strerror(-r)
860 * Use PR_SET_PROCTITLE_AREA if it becomes available in the kernel
864 * set_put(), hashmap_put() return values check. i.e. == 0 does not free()!
866 * use secure_getenv() instead of getenv() where appropriate
868 * link up selected blog stories from man pages and unit files Documentation= fields
