TODO revision fd6c2363af2cb144bb6a7d6b8bdba9f777440078
fcf3ce441efd61da9bb2884968af01cb7c1452ccJohn Forte* Should systemctl status \* work on all unit types, not just .service?
fcf3ce441efd61da9bb2884968af01cb7c1452ccJohn Forte* Dangling symlinks of .automount unit files in .wants/ directories, set up
fcf3ce441efd61da9bb2884968af01cb7c1452ccJohn Forte automount points even when the original .automount file did not exist
fcf3ce441efd61da9bb2884968af01cb7c1452ccJohn Forte anymore. Only the .mount unit was still around.
fcf3ce441efd61da9bb2884968af01cb7c1452ccJohn Forte* ExecStart with unicode characters fails in strv_split_quoted:
fcf3ce441efd61da9bb2884968af01cb7c1452ccJohn Forte Environment=ONE='one' "TWO='two two' too" THREE=
fcf3ce441efd61da9bb2884968af01cb7c1452ccJohn Forte ExecStart=/bin/python3 -c 'import sys;print(sys.argv)' $ONE $TWO $THREE
fcf3ce441efd61da9bb2884968af01cb7c1452ccJohn Forte* When systemctl --host is used, underlying ssh connection can remain open.
fcf3ce441efd61da9bb2884968af01cb7c1452ccJohn Forte bus_close does not kill children?
fcf3ce441efd61da9bb2884968af01cb7c1452ccJohn Forte* Fedora: add an rpmlint check that verifies that all unit files in the RPM are listed in %systemd_post macros.
fcf3ce441efd61da9bb2884968af01cb7c1452ccJohn Forte* Fedora: move kernel image to /usr/lib/modules/, kernel-install will take care of populating /boot
fcf3ce441efd61da9bb2884968af01cb7c1452ccJohn Forte* Fedora: remove /etc/resolv.conf tmpfiles hack
fcf3ce441efd61da9bb2884968af01cb7c1452ccJohn Forte* wiki: update journal format documentation for lz4 additions
fcf3ce441efd61da9bb2884968af01cb7c1452ccJohn Forte* When lz4 gets an API for lz4 command output, make use of it to
fcf3ce441efd61da9bb2884968af01cb7c1452ccJohn Forte compress coredumps in a way compatible with /usr/bin/lz4.
fcf3ce441efd61da9bb2884968af01cb7c1452ccJohn Forte* fix userns support in nspawn, or remove it entirely
fcf3ce441efd61da9bb2884968af01cb7c1452ccJohn Forte* bus-proxy: GetConnectionSELinuxSecurityContext() is completely broken
fcf3ce441efd61da9bb2884968af01cb7c1452ccJohn Forte* timer units triggering services with failing conditions run busy:
fcf3ce441efd61da9bb2884968af01cb7c1452ccJohn Forte http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-April/030095.html
fcf3ce441efd61da9bb2884968af01cb7c1452ccJohn Forte* whe should apply a stop limit (similar to the existing start limit),
fcf3ce441efd61da9bb2884968af01cb7c1452ccJohn Forte so that we don't enter unbounded umount loops:
fcf3ce441efd61da9bb2884968af01cb7c1452ccJohn Forte http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-April/030224.html
fcf3ce441efd61da9bb2884968af01cb7c1452ccJohn Forte* logind: follow PropertiesChanged state more closely, to deal with quick logouts and relogins
fcf3ce441efd61da9bb2884968af01cb7c1452ccJohn Forte* change to KillMode=mixed by default
fcf3ce441efd61da9bb2884968af01cb7c1452ccJohn Forte* introduce argv0contains=
fcf3ce441efd61da9bb2884968af01cb7c1452ccJohn Forte* invent a better systemd-run scheme for naming scopes, that works with remoting
fcf3ce441efd61da9bb2884968af01cb7c1452ccJohn Forte* add journalctl -H that talks via ssh to a remote peer and passes through binary logs data
fcf3ce441efd61da9bb2884968af01cb7c1452ccJohn Forte* change journalctl -M to acquire fd to journal directory via machined, and then operate on that via openat() insteat of absolute paths
fcf3ce441efd61da9bb2884968af01cb7c1452ccJohn Forte* log accumulated resource usage after each service invocation
fcf3ce441efd61da9bb2884968af01cb7c1452ccJohn Forte* networkd: dhcp server: try to assign stable IP addresses based on client's MAC address
fcf3ce441efd61da9bb2884968af01cb7c1452ccJohn Forte* 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
fcf3ce441efd61da9bb2884968af01cb7c1452ccJohn Forte* logind: rename session scope so that it includes the UID. THat way
fcf3ce441efd61da9bb2884968af01cb7c1452ccJohn Forte the session scope can be arranged freely in slices and we don't have
fcf3ce441efd61da9bb2884968af01cb7c1452ccJohn Forte make assumptions about their slice anymore.
fcf3ce441efd61da9bb2884968af01cb7c1452ccJohn Forte* 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.
fcf3ce441efd61da9bb2884968af01cb7c1452ccJohn Forte* nspawn: don't copy /etc/resolv.conf from host into container unless we are in shared-network mode
fcf3ce441efd61da9bb2884968af01cb7c1452ccJohn Forte* nspawn: optionally automatically add FORWARD rules to iptables whenever nspawn is running, remove them when shut down.
fcf3ce441efd61da9bb2884968af01cb7c1452ccJohn Forte* importd: generate a nice warning if mkfs.btrfs is missing
fcf3ce441efd61da9bb2884968af01cb7c1452ccJohn Forte* 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
fcf3ce441efd61da9bb2884968af01cb7c1452ccJohn Forte* nspawn: Improve error message when --bind= is used on a non-existing source directory
fcf3ce441efd61da9bb2884968af01cb7c1452ccJohn Forte* nspawn: maybe make copying of /etc/resolv.conf optional, and skip it if --read-only is used
fcf3ce441efd61da9bb2884968af01cb7c1452ccJohn Forte* man: document how update dkr images works with machinectl
fcf3ce441efd61da9bb2884968af01cb7c1452ccJohn Forte http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-February/028630.html
fcf3ce441efd61da9bb2884968af01cb7c1452ccJohn Forte* 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
fcf3ce441efd61da9bb2884968af01cb7c1452ccJohn Forte* networkd: make DHCP server IP range configurable, including only with a single IP address
fcf3ce441efd61da9bb2884968af01cb7c1452ccJohn Forte* rework C11 utf8.[ch] to use char32_t instead of uint32_t when referring
fcf3ce441efd61da9bb2884968af01cb7c1452ccJohn Forte to unicode chars, to make things more expressive.
fcf3ce441efd61da9bb2884968af01cb7c1452ccJohn Forte* "machinectl migrate" or similar to copy a container from or to a
fcf3ce441efd61da9bb2884968af01cb7c1452ccJohn Forte difference host, via ssh
fcf3ce441efd61da9bb2884968af01cb7c1452ccJohn Forte* tmpfiles: creating new directories/subvolumes/fifos/device nodes
fcf3ce441efd61da9bb2884968af01cb7c1452ccJohn Forte should not follow symlinks. None of the other adjustment or creation
fcf3ce441efd61da9bb2884968af01cb7c1452ccJohn Forte calls follow symlinks.
fcf3ce441efd61da9bb2884968af01cb7c1452ccJohn Forte* bus-proxy: fix return code when releasing name that we don't have:
fcf3ce441efd61da9bb2884968af01cb7c1452ccJohn Forte http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-April/030494.html
fcf3ce441efd61da9bb2884968af01cb7c1452ccJohn Forte* fstab-generator: default to tmpfs-as-root if only usr= is specified on the kernel cmdline
fcf3ce441efd61da9bb2884968af01cb7c1452ccJohn Forte* docs: bring http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/MyServiceCantGetRealtime up to date
fcf3ce441efd61da9bb2884968af01cb7c1452ccJohn Forte* mounting and unmounting mount points manually with different source
fcf3ce441efd61da9bb2884968af01cb7c1452ccJohn Forte devices will result in collected collected on all devices used.
fcf3ce441efd61da9bb2884968af01cb7c1452ccJohn Forte http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-April/030225.html
fcf3ce441efd61da9bb2884968af01cb7c1452ccJohn Forte* add a job mode that will fail if a transaction would mean stopping
fcf3ce441efd61da9bb2884968af01cb7c1452ccJohn Forte running units. Use this in timedated to manage the NTP service
fcf3ce441efd61da9bb2884968af01cb7c1452ccJohn Forte http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-April/030229.html
fcf3ce441efd61da9bb2884968af01cb7c1452ccJohn Forte* Maybe add support for the equivalent of "ethtool advertise" to .link files?
fcf3ce441efd61da9bb2884968af01cb7c1452ccJohn Forte http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-April/030112.html
* create a btrfs qgroup for /var/lib/machines, and add all container
* coredump: make the handler check /proc/$PID/rlimits for RLIMIT_CORE,
whether media was sensed in USB CF/SD card readers. This should then
* nspawn: emulate /dev/kmsg using CUSE and turn off the syslog syscall
* networkd/udev: implement SR_IOV configuration in .link files:
* 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
* introduce systemd-nspawn-ephemeral@.service, and hook it into "machinectl start" with a new --ephemeral switch
* "machinectl list-images" should show os-release data, as well as machine-info data (including deployment level)
* 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
* "machinectl commit" that takes a writable snapshot of a tree, invokes a shell in it, and marks it read-only after use
* as soon as we have kdbus, and sender timestamps, revisit coalescing multiple parallel daemon reloads:
* the install state probably shouldn't get confused by generated units, think dbus1/kdbus compat!
* in systemctl list-unit-files: show the install value the presets would suggest for a service in a third column
* add "systemctl start -v foobar.service" that shows logs of a service
* 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
* timesyncd + resolved: add ugly bus calls to set NTP and DNS servers per-interface, for usage by NM
* 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
* machined: add an API so that libvirt-lxc can inform us about network interfaces being removed or added to an existing machine
* maybe add support for specifier expansion in user.conf, specifically DefaultEnvironment=
* introduce systemd-timesync-wait.service or so to sync on an NTP fix?
* systemd --user should issue sd_notify() upon reaching basic.target, not on becoming idle
* consider showing the unit names during boot up in the status output, not just the unit descriptions
* dhcp: do we allow configuring dhcp routes on interfaces that are not the one we got the dhcp info from?
* maybe support a new very "soft" reboot mode, that simply kills all processes, disassembles everything, flushes /run and sysvipc, and then reexecs systemd again
* systemd.show_status= should probably have a mode where only failed
* add systemd.abort_on_kill or some other such flag to send SIGABRT instead of SIGKILL
- the DHCP lease data (such as NTP/DNS) is still made available when
- option 15, domain name and/or option 119, search list
- option 12, host name and/or option 81, fqdn
- option 252, configure http proxy (PAC/wpad)
- add display of private key types (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4034#appendix-A.1.1)?
* Allow multiple ExecStart= for all Type= settings, so that we can cover rescue.service nicely
- nspawn/gpt-generator: introduce new gpt partition type for /usr
- fstab-generator: support systemd.volatile=yes|no|state on the kernel cmdline, too, similar to nspawn's --volatile=
* generator that automatically discovers btrfs subvolumes, identifies their purpose based on some xattr on them.
* timer units: actually add extra delays to timer units with high AccuracySec values, don't start them already when we are awake...
* figure out a nice way how we can let the admin know what child/sibling unit causes cgroup membership for a specific unit
* For timer units: add some mechanisms so that timer units that trigger immediately on boot do not have the services
* 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)
/proc/$PID/exe
a tiny process that joins the namespace and creates/binds the socket
to allow Chown/chgrp on sockets without requiring NSS in PID 1.
- add field to transient units that indicate whether systemd or somebody else saves/restores its settings, for integration with libvirt
* Automatically configure swap partition to use for hibernation by looking for largest swap partition on the root disk?
* libsystemd-journal, libsystemd-login, libudev: add calls to easily attach these objects to sd-event event loops
* 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
* After coming back from hibernation reset hibernation swap partition using the /dev/snapshot ioctl APIs
* make sure gdm does not use multi-user-x but the new default X configuration file, and then remove multi-user-x from systemd
* man: the documentation of Restart= currently is very misleading and suggests the tools from ExecStartPre= might get restarted.
- 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
- kdbus: matches against source or destination pids for an "strace -p"-like feel. Problem: The PID info needs to be available in userspace too...
- NameLost/NameAcquired obsolete
- 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.
* dbus: when a unit failed to load (i.e. is in UNIT_ERROR state), we
* add a pam module that passes the hdd passphrase into the PAM stack and then expires it, for usage by gdm auto-login.
* maybe add a generator that looks for "systemd.run=" on the kernel cmdline for container usercases...
* systemd-inhibit: make taking delay locks useful: support sending SIGINT or SIGTERM on PrepareForSleep()
* journal-or-kmsg is currently broken? See reverted commit 4a01181e460686d8b4a543b1dfa7f77c9e3c5ab8.
* remove any syslog support from log.c -- we probably cannot do this before split-off udev is gone for good
* think about window-manager-run-as-user-service problem: exit 0 → activate shutdown.target; exit != 0 → restart service
- change bootctl to be backed by systemd-bootd to control temporary and persistent default boot goal plus efi variables
* fstab: add new mount option x-systemd-after=/foobar/waldo to allow manual dependencies to other mount points
* print a nicer explanation if people use variable/specifier expansion in ExecStart= for the first word
* mount: turn dependency information from /proc/self/mountinfo into dependency information between systemd units.
- logind: optionally, ignore idle-hint logic for autosuspend, block suspend as long as a session is around
- When we update the kernel all kind of hibernation should be prohibited until shutdown/reboot
- logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
- we should probably handle SIGTERM/SIGINT to not leave dot files around, just in case
- session scopes/user unit: add RequiresMountsFor for the home directory of the user
- add Suspend() bus calls which take timestamps to fix double suspend issues when somebody hits suspend and closes laptop quickly.
* exec: when deinitializating a tty device fix the perms and group, too, not only when initializing. Set access mode/gid to 0620/tty.
- journal: when waiting for journal additions in the client always sleep at least 1s or so, in order to minimize wakeups
- add API to close/reopen/get fd for journal client fd in libsystemd-journal.
- fallback to /dev/log based logging in libsystemd-journal, if we cannot log natively?
- check if we can make journalctl by default use --follow mode inside of less if called without args?
- journal: add a setgid "systemd-journal" utility to invoke from libsystemd-journal, which passes fds via STDOUT and does PK access
- journactl: support negative filtering, i.e. FOOBAR!="waldo",
- 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.
- journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the components would fit
- optionally support running journald from the command line for testing purposes in external projects
- journald: allow per-priority and per-service retention times when rotating/vacuuming
- journald: make use of uid-range.h to managed uid ranges to split
- journalctl: add the ability to look for the most recent process of a binary. journalctl /usr/bin/X11 --pid=-1 or so...
- man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
- add a man page containing packaging guidelines and recommending usage of things like Documentation=, PrivateTmp=, PrivateNetwork= and ReadOnlyDirectories=/etc /usr.
- document systemd-journal-flush.service properly
- documentation: recommend to connect the timer units of a service to the service via Also= in [Install]
- man: extend runlevel(8) to mention that runlevels suck, and are dead. Maybe add runlevel(7) with a note about that too
- print nice message from systemctl --failed if there are no entries shown, and hook that into ExecStartPre of rescue.service/emergency.service
- add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
- systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into does not exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
- systemctl list-unit-files should list generated files (and probably with a new state "generated" for them, or so)
- 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
* 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().
* clean up date formatting and parsing so that all absolute/relative timestamps we format can also be parsed
* on shutdown: move utmp, wall, audit logic all into PID 1 (or logind?), get rid of systemd-update-utmp-runlevel
* hostnamed: before returning information from /etc/machine-info.conf check the modification data and reread. Similar for localed, ...
* currently x-systemd.timeout is lost in the initrd, since crypttab is copied into dracut, but fstab is not
- refuses to boot containers without /etc/machine-id (OK?), and with empty /etc/machine-id (not OK).
- support rd.luks.allow-discards= kernel cmdline params in cryptsetup generator
* after deserializing sockets in socket.c we should reapply sockopts and things
* move PID 1 segfaults to /var/lib/systemd/coredump?
* create /sbin/init symlinks from the build system
* properly handle loop back mounts via fstab, especially regards to fsck/passno
* initialize the hostname from the fs label of /, if /etc/hostname does not exist?
* when breaking cycles drop sysv services first, then services from /run, then from /etc, then from /usr
* ExecOnFailure=/usr/bin/foo
- add trigger --subsystem-match=usb/usb_device device
* 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
* add option to sockets to avoid activation. Instead just drop packets/connections, see http://cyberelk.net/tim/2012/02/15/portreserve-systemd-solution/
* save coredump in Windows/Mozilla minidump format
* support crash reporting operation modes (https://live.gnome.org/GnomeOS/Design/Whiteboards/ProblemReporting)
* default to actual 32-bit PIDs, via /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max
* when a bus name of a service disappears from the bus make sure to queue further activation requests
- init=/bin/sh vs. "emergency" mode, vs. "rescue" mode, vs. "multi-user" mode, vs. "graphical" mode, and the debug shell
- hooking a script into various stages of shutdown/rearly booot
- add documentation to systemd.daemon
- inbuilt piping support (essentially degenerate async)? see loopback-setup.c and other places
- add proper initrd support (in particular generate .network/.link files based on /proc/cmdline)
- investigate the usefulness of Confirm messages; i.e. are there any
- teach dbus to activate all services it finds in /etc/systemd/services/org-*.service
* dbus upstream still refers to dbus.target and should not
* /usr/bin/service should actually show the new command line
* 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=
* fedora: F20: go timer units all the way, leave cron.daily for cron
* fedora: update policy to declare access mode and ownership of unit files to root:root 0644, and add an rpmlint check for it
* set_put(), hashmap_put() return values check. i.e. == 0 does not free()!
