TODO revision 3f85ef0f05ffc51e19f86fb83a1c51e8e3cd6817
db479b48bd4d75423ed4a45e15b75089d1a8ad72fielding* Should systemctl status \* work on all unit types, not just .service?
db479b48bd4d75423ed4a45e15b75089d1a8ad72fielding* Dangling symlinks of .automount unit files in .wants/ directories, set up
db479b48bd4d75423ed4a45e15b75089d1a8ad72fielding automount points even when the original .automount file did not exist
db479b48bd4d75423ed4a45e15b75089d1a8ad72fielding anymore. Only the .mount unit was still around.
240b85022b73af58a6d971cd3d05d54037d8f682nd* properly handle .mount unit state tracking when two mount points are stacked one on top of another on the exact same mount point.
240b85022b73af58a6d971cd3d05d54037d8f682nd* ExecStart with unicode characters fails in strv_split_quoted:
240b85022b73af58a6d971cd3d05d54037d8f682nd Environment=ONE='one' "TWO='two two' too" THREE=
240b85022b73af58a6d971cd3d05d54037d8f682nd ExecStart=/bin/python3 -c 'import sys;print(sys.argv)' $ONE $TWO $THREE
240b85022b73af58a6d971cd3d05d54037d8f682nd* MEMORY return code is overloaded for syntax errors in the command line.
240b85022b73af58a6d971cd3d05d54037d8f682nd str_split_quoted() should return a real return code, so spawn_child can
3d0434b7f8ce3bfce252ebbe3cabe626ba750d83gregames report the failure properly.
3d0434b7f8ce3bfce252ebbe3cabe626ba750d83gregames* udev_set_log_priority should verify the value before saving it.
3d0434b7f8ce3bfce252ebbe3cabe626ba750d83gregames* Fedora: add an rpmlint check that verifies that all unit files in the RPM are listed in %systemd_post macros.
3d0434b7f8ce3bfce252ebbe3cabe626ba750d83gregames* Fedora: post FPC ticket to move add %tmpfiles_create to the packaging guidelines
3d0434b7f8ce3bfce252ebbe3cabe626ba750d83gregames* Fedora: move kernel image to /usr/lib/modules/, kernel-install will take care of populating /boot
3d0434b7f8ce3bfce252ebbe3cabe626ba750d83gregames* Fedora: remove /etc/resolv.conf tmpfiles hack
3d0434b7f8ce3bfce252ebbe3cabe626ba750d83gregames* wiki: update journal format documentation for lz4 additions
3d0434b7f8ce3bfce252ebbe3cabe626ba750d83gregames* When lz4 gets an API for lz4 command output, make use of it to
3d0434b7f8ce3bfce252ebbe3cabe626ba750d83gregames compress coredumps in a way compatible with /usr/bin/lz4.
3d0434b7f8ce3bfce252ebbe3cabe626ba750d83gregames* logind: when the power button is pressed short, just popup a logout dialog. If it is pressed for 1s, do the usual shutdown. Inspiration are Macs here.
3d0434b7f8ce3bfce252ebbe3cabe626ba750d83gregames* optionally support running journald from the command line for testing purposes in external projects
3d0434b7f8ce3bfce252ebbe3cabe626ba750d83gregames* journald: allow per-priority and per-service retention times when rotating/vacuuming
3d0434b7f8ce3bfce252ebbe3cabe626ba750d83gregames* introduce systemd-timesync-wait.service or so to sync on an NTP fix?
3d0434b7f8ce3bfce252ebbe3cabe626ba750d83gregames* systemd --user should issue sd_notify() upon reaching basic.target, not on becoming idle
3d0434b7f8ce3bfce252ebbe3cabe626ba750d83gregames* configure.ac pretends dbus was optional but actually hardcodes use of dbus' pkg-config file to determine various dbus dirs such as policy and activation dirs
3d0434b7f8ce3bfce252ebbe3cabe626ba750d83gregames* consider showing the unit names during boot up in the status output, not just the unit descriptions
3d0434b7f8ce3bfce252ebbe3cabe626ba750d83gregames* dhcp: do we allow configuring dhcp routes on interfaces that are not the one we got the dhcp info from?
3d0434b7f8ce3bfce252ebbe3cabe626ba750d83gregames* maybe allow timer units with an empty Units= setting, so that they
3d0434b7f8ce3bfce252ebbe3cabe626ba750d83gregames can be used for resuming the system but nothing else.
3d0434b7f8ce3bfce252ebbe3cabe626ba750d83gregames* what to do about udev db binary stability for apps?
3d0434b7f8ce3bfce252ebbe3cabe626ba750d83gregames* maybe provide an API to allow migration of foreign PIDs into existing scopes.
3d0434b7f8ce3bfce252ebbe3cabe626ba750d83gregames* kdbus: maybe rename "connection name" concept to something that doesn't reuse the word "name"?
3d0434b7f8ce3bfce252ebbe3cabe626ba750d83gregames* PID 1 doesn't apply nspawns devices cgroup policy
3d0434b7f8ce3bfce252ebbe3cabe626ba750d83gregames* maybe support a new very "soft" reboot mode, that simply kills all processes, disassembles everything, flushes /run and sysvipc, and then reexecs systemd again
cd2e0fb5f8e86eecb278e9d623f4c272d96f5e3ctrawick* man: document that corrupted journal files is nothing to act on
3d0434b7f8ce3bfce252ebbe3cabe626ba750d83gregames* bus-proxy: when passing messages from kdbus, make sure we properly
3d0434b7f8ce3bfce252ebbe3cabe626ba750d83gregames handle the case where a large number of fds is appended that we
3d0434b7f8ce3bfce252ebbe3cabe626ba750d83gregames cannot pass into sendmsg() of the AF_UNIX sokcet (which only accepts
86826d685f83170ca07d56550db9f0c2922a916btrawick 253 messages)
cd2e0fb5f8e86eecb278e9d623f4c272d96f5e3ctrawick* man: maybe use the word "inspect" rather than "introspect"?
3d0434b7f8ce3bfce252ebbe3cabe626ba750d83gregames* introduce machines.target to order after all nspawn instances
3d0434b7f8ce3bfce252ebbe3cabe626ba750d83gregames* systemd-nspawn@.service should fail if some nspawn arg is invalid, with Type=notify
cd2e0fb5f8e86eecb278e9d623f4c272d96f5e3ctrawick* "machinectl list" should probably show columns for OS version and IP addresses
3d0434b7f8ce3bfce252ebbe3cabe626ba750d83gregames* systemctl: if it fails, show log output?
3d0434b7f8ce3bfce252ebbe3cabe626ba750d83gregames* maybe add "systemctl edit" that copies unit files from /usr/lib/systemd/system to /etc/systemd/system and invokes vim on them
3d0434b7f8ce3bfce252ebbe3cabe626ba750d83gregames* refcounting in sd-resolve is borked
3d0434b7f8ce3bfce252ebbe3cabe626ba750d83gregames* exponential backoff in timesyncd and resolved when we cannot reach a server
43162230430f8144afe9c32cd0e60b927f4e0a60gregames* journald: make use of uid-range.h to managed uid ranges to split
3d0434b7f8ce3bfce252ebbe3cabe626ba750d83gregames journals in.
3d0434b7f8ce3bfce252ebbe3cabe626ba750d83gregames* tmpfiles: port to unquote_many_words(), similar to sysusers
1c86147fa9b58111f7df3b0e24a5bf97833d5d84trawick* unquote_many_words() should probably be used by a lot of code that
89211a5d592cdf0170d2b541946661b1a2a279c5trawick currently uses FOREACH_WORD and friends. For example, most conf
3d0434b7f8ce3bfce252ebbe3cabe626ba750d83gregames parsing callbacks should use it.
3d0434b7f8ce3bfce252ebbe3cabe626ba750d83gregames* logind: make the Suspend()/Hibernate() bus calls wait for the for
3d0434b7f8ce3bfce252ebbe3cabe626ba750d83gregames the job to be completed. before returning, so that clients can wait
3d0434b7f8ce3bfce252ebbe3cabe626ba750d83gregames for "systemctl suspend" to finish to know when the suspending is
43162230430f8144afe9c32cd0e60b927f4e0a60gregames* merge ~/.local/share and ~/.local/lib into one similar /usr/lib and /usr/share....
d468ce085370fb85e0cb4e3b48bd1a47c2eca33ctrawick* journald: allows specification of UID range for splitting up journal files
d468ce085370fb85e0cb4e3b48bd1a47c2eca33ctrawick* systemd.show_status= should probably have a mode where only failed
d468ce085370fb85e0cb4e3b48bd1a47c2eca33ctrawick units are shown.
8b30d716ef6380801f225010838faa3c00141a06trawick - add LLDP client side support
d468ce085370fb85e0cb4e3b48bd1a47c2eca33ctrawick - the DHCP lease data (such as NTP/DNS) is still made available when
3d0434b7f8ce3bfce252ebbe3cabe626ba750d83gregames a carrier is lost on a link. It should be removed instantly.
8b30d716ef6380801f225010838faa3c00141a06trawick - .network setting that allows overriding of the hostname to send to the dhcp server
d468ce085370fb85e0cb4e3b48bd1a47c2eca33ctrawick http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-July/021550.html
d468ce085370fb85e0cb4e3b48bd1a47c2eca33ctrawick - expose in the API the following bits:
d468ce085370fb85e0cb4e3b48bd1a47c2eca33ctrawick - option 15, domain name and/or option 119, search list
d468ce085370fb85e0cb4e3b48bd1a47c2eca33ctrawick - option 12, host name and/or option 81, fqdn
c0d403aebd449af101969d1ff60a8cbcf9ecf35cgregames - option 100, 101, timezone
3d0434b7f8ce3bfce252ebbe3cabe626ba750d83gregames - option 123, 144, geolocation
3d0434b7f8ce3bfce252ebbe3cabe626ba750d83gregames - option 252, configure http proxy (PAC/wpad)
3d0434b7f8ce3bfce252ebbe3cabe626ba750d83gregames - networkd's dhcp server should transparently pass on the DNS and
3d0434b7f8ce3bfce252ebbe3cabe626ba750d83gregames NTP server list it got from user configuration and its dhcp client
3d0434b7f8ce3bfce252ebbe3cabe626ba750d83gregames to clients. It should also pass on its own timezone information.
3d0434b7f8ce3bfce252ebbe3cabe626ba750d83gregames - provide a way to define a per-network interface default metric value
3d0434b7f8ce3bfce252ebbe3cabe626ba750d83gregames for all routes to it. possibly a second default for DHCP routes.
3d0434b7f8ce3bfce252ebbe3cabe626ba750d83gregames - allow Name= to be specified repeatedly in the [Match] section. Maybe also
3d0434b7f8ce3bfce252ebbe3cabe626ba750d83gregames support Name=foo*|bar*|baz ?
3d0434b7f8ce3bfce252ebbe3cabe626ba750d83gregames - put networkd events and rtnl events at a higher priority, so that
3d0434b7f8ce3bfce252ebbe3cabe626ba750d83gregames we always process them before we process client requests
3d0434b7f8ce3bfce252ebbe3cabe626ba750d83gregames - use base64 for key presentation?
3d0434b7f8ce3bfce252ebbe3cabe626ba750d83gregames - add display of private key types (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4034#appendix-A.1.1)?
3d0434b7f8ce3bfce252ebbe3cabe626ba750d83gregames - add nice formatting of DNS timestamps
3d0434b7f8ce3bfce252ebbe3cabe626ba750d83gregames - search paths
3d0434b7f8ce3bfce252ebbe3cabe626ba750d83gregames - avahi compat
4657f9b12af4b123b80e15c73fa03c190e47a8bftrawick - DNS-SD service registration from socket units
1c86147fa9b58111f7df3b0e24a5bf97833d5d84trawick - cname on PTR (?)
3d0434b7f8ce3bfce252ebbe3cabe626ba750d83gregames* Ignore .busname units on classic D-Bus boots, systemd-resolved cannot be started on kdbus
3d0434b7f8ce3bfce252ebbe3cabe626ba750d83gregames without the active policy and should get a Wants=org.freedesktop.resolve1.busname to
3d0434b7f8ce3bfce252ebbe3cabe626ba750d83gregames pull-in the policy.
8b30d716ef6380801f225010838faa3c00141a06trawick* Allow multiple ExecStart= for all Type= settings, so that we can cover rescue.service nicely
8b30d716ef6380801f225010838faa3c00141a06trawick* Add a new verb "systemctl top"
8b30d716ef6380801f225010838faa3c00141a06trawick* logind: allow users to kill or lock their own sessions
3d0434b7f8ce3bfce252ebbe3cabe626ba750d83gregames* add new gpt type for btrfs volumes
3d0434b7f8ce3bfce252ebbe3cabe626ba750d83gregames* support empty /etc boots nicely:
3d0434b7f8ce3bfce252ebbe3cabe626ba750d83gregames - nspawn/gpt-generator: introduce new gpt partition type for /usr
3d0434b7f8ce3bfce252ebbe3cabe626ba750d83gregames - fstab-generator: support systemd.volatile=yes|no|state on the kernel cmdline, too, similar to nspawn's --volatile=
3d0434b7f8ce3bfce252ebbe3cabe626ba750d83gregames* generator that automatically discovers btrfs subvolumes, identifies their purpose based on some xattr on them.
3d0434b7f8ce3bfce252ebbe3cabe626ba750d83gregames* support setting empty environment variables with Environment= and EnvironmentFile=
3d0434b7f8ce3bfce252ebbe3cabe626ba750d83gregames* timer units: actually add extra delays to timer units with high AccuracySec values, don't start them already when we are awake...
3d0434b7f8ce3bfce252ebbe3cabe626ba750d83gregames* a way for container managers to turn off getty starting via $container_headless= or so...
3d0434b7f8ce3bfce252ebbe3cabe626ba750d83gregames* figure out a nice way how we can let the admin know what child/sibling unit causes cgroup membership for a specific unit
3d0434b7f8ce3bfce252ebbe3cabe626ba750d83gregames* journalctl: add the ability to look for the most recent process of a binary. journalctl /usr/bin/X11 --pid=-1 or so...
* For timer units: add some mechanisms so that timer units that trigger immediately on boot do not have the services
* Run most system services with cgroupfs read-only and procfs with a more secure mode (doesn't work, since the hidepid= option is per-pid-namespace, not per-mount)
/proc/$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.
- manager property enumeration was broken when systemd moved to /usr/lib/
- 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
- introduce sd_bus_emit_object_added()/sd_bus_emit_object_removed() that automatically includes the build-in interfaces in the list
- 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
* 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 out marker messages every now and then, and immediately sync with fdatasync() afterwards, in order to have hourly guaranteed syncs.
- 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
- 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
* come up with a nice way to write queue/read_ahead_kb for a block device without interfering with readahead
* 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()!
