0N/A
0N/A* add inode stat() check to readahead to suppress preloading changed files
0N/A
0N/A* allow list of pathes in config_parse_condition_path()
0N/A
0N/A* introduce dbus calls for enabling/disabling a service
0N/A
0N/A* support notifications for services being enabled/disabled

0N/A* Maybe merge nss-myhostname into systemd?
0N/A
0N/A* GC unreferenced jobs (such as .device jobs)
0N/A
0N/A* support wildcard expansion in ListenStream= and friends
0N/A

0N/A
0N/A* fix alsa mixer restore to not print error when no config is stored
0N/A
0N/A* show enablement status in systemctl status
0N/A
0N/A* write blog stories about:
0N/A - enabling dbus services
0N/A - status update
0N/A - you are a distro: why switch?
0N/A - /etc/sysconfig and /etc/default
0N/A - how to write socket activated services
0N/A
0N/A* maybe add tiny dbus services similar to hostnamed for locale and wallclock/timezone?
0N/A
0N/A* allow port=0 in .socket units
0N/A
0N/A* rename systemd-logger to systemd-stdio-syslog-bridge
0N/A
0N/A* take BSD file lock on tty devices when using them?
0N/A
0N/A* avoid any flag files, or readahead files in /, we need to support r/o /
0N/A or / on tmpfs like Android setups.
0N/A
0N/A* move readahead files into /var, look for them with .path units
0N/A
0N/A* teach dbus to activate all services it finds in /etc/systemd/services/org-*.service
0N/A
0N/A* get process transport into dbus for systemctl -P/-H
4632N/A
0N/A* document default dependencies
0N/A
0N/A* support systemd.whitelist=/systemd.blacklist= on the kernel command
4632N/A line.
0N/A
0N/A* Find a way to replace /var/run, /var/lock directories with
0N/A symlinks during an RPM package upgrade (filesystem.rpm or systemd.rpm).
4632N/A (lua code to create symlinks right away for new installations is in filesytem.rpm now)
0N/A We soon want to get rid of var-run.mount var-lock.mount units:
0N/A if mountpoint /run ; then
0N/A umount /var/run || :
0N/A else
0N/A mount --move /var/run /run || mount --bind /var/run /run
0N/A fi
0N/A mv /var/run /var/.run.save
0N/A ln -s /run /var/run
0N/A echo "R /var/.run.save" > /etc/tmpfiles.d/remove-run-save.conf
0N/A
0N/A* when key file cannot be found, read it from kbd in cryptsetup
0N/A
0N/A* add switch to systemctl to show enabled but not running services. Or
0N/A another switch that shows service that have been running since
0N/A booting but aren't running anymore.
0N/A
0N/A* reuse mkdtemp namespace dirs in /tmp?
0N/A
0N/A* recreate systemd's D-Bus private socket file on SIGUSR2
0N/A
0N/A* be more specific what failed:
0N/A ...
0N/A Unmounting file systems.
0N/A Not all file systems unmounted, 1 left.
0N/A Disabling swaps.
0N/A Detaching loop devices.
0N/A Detaching DM devices.
0N/A Cannot finalize remaining file systems and devices, trying to kill remaining processes.
0N/A Unmounting file systems.
0N/A Not all file systems unmounted, 1 left.
0N/A Cannot finalize remaining file systems and devices, giving up.
0N/A ...
0N/A
0N/A* check for compiled-in, but not active selinux, and don't print any warnings
0N/A about policy loading. Probably check for available selinux in /proc/filesystems,
0N/A and check for active selinux with getcon_raw() == "kernel"
0N/A
0N/A* Support --test based on current system state
0N/A
0N/A* systemctl enable as D-Bus call
0N/A
0N/A* consider services with any kind of link in /etc/systemd/system enabled
0N/A
0N/A* show failure error string in "systemctl status"
0N/A
1777N/A* make sure timeouts are applied to Type=oneshot services.
1777N/A
0N/A* Implement:
0N/A systemctl mask <unit>
0N/A systemctl unmask <unit>
0N/A Also support --temp to make this temporary by placing mask links in /run.
0N/A
1777N/A* detect LXC environment
1777N/A
0N/A* Maybe store in unit files whether a service should be enabled by default on package installation
0N/A (belongs into a distro pattern though, not in an upstream package's service file)
0N/A
0N/A* perhaps add "systemctl reenable" as combination of "systemctl disable" and "systemctl enable"
0N/A
0N/A* need a way to apply mount options of api vfs from systemd unit files
0N/A (or some other modern source?) instead of fstab?
0N/A
0N/A* maybe introduce ExecRestartPre=
0N/A
4825N/A* figure out what happened to bluez patch
4825N/A
4825N/A* Patch systemd-fsck to use -C and pass console fd to it
4825N/A
0N/A* configurable jitter for timer events
0N/A
0N/A* Support ProcessNeededForShutdown=true to allow stuff like mdmon to
0N/A be killed very late after the rootfs is read only? If implement pass
0N/A this to shutdown binary via command line argument.
1777N/A
1777N/A* use pivot_root on shutdown so that we can unmount the root directory.
0N/A - copy binaries to, and pivot_root() to the "shutdown tmpfs"
0N/A - solve "mdadm --wait-clean" problem that way
0N/A
0N/A* dot output for --test showing the 'initial transaction'
0N/A
0N/A* calendar time support in timer, iCalendar semantics for the timer stuff (RFC2445)
0N/A - timerfd() with TFD_TIMER_CANCELON_SET support: https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/4/27/383
0N/A
1777N/A* systemd --user
0N/A - get PR_SET_ANCHOR merged: http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/2/2/165
0N/A
0N/A* add VT tracking:
1777N/A - provide CK functionality
0N/A - start getty only when actual vt switch happens (same model as
0N/A socket on-demand activation). allocate the next free tty and
0N/A start a getty there. this way, pressing alt-f[1-12] will switch
0N/A through running X and getty sessions, and any unallocated
0N/A activated tty will start a new getty. the hardcoding of
0N/A getty[1-6] will entirely go away.
0N/A - http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/gregkh/tty-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=fbc92a3455577ab17615cbcb91826399061bd789
0N/A
0N/A* implicitly import "defaults" settings file into all types
0N/A
0N/A* port over to LISTEN_FDS/LISTEN_PID:
0N/A - uuidd HAVEPATCH
0N/A - rpcbind (/var/run/rpcbind.sock!) HAVEPATCH
0N/A - cups HAVEPATCH
0N/A - postfix, saslauthd
0N/A - apache/samba
0N/A - libvirtd (/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock-ro)
0N/A - bluetoothd (/var/run/sdp! @/org/bluez/audio!)
0N/A - distccd
0N/A
0N/A* fingerprint.target, wireless.target, gps.target, netdevice.target
0N/A
0N/A* set_put(), hashmap_put() return values check. i.e. == 0 doesn't free()!
0N/A
* io priority during initialization
* if a service fails too often, make the service enter failed mode, and the socket, too.
* systemctl list-jobs - show dependencies
* auditd service files
* add systemctl switch to dump transaction without executing it
* suspend, resume support?
* readahead: btrfs/LVM SSD detection
* add separate man page for [Install] settings
* allow runtime changing of log level and target
* drop cap bounding set in readahead and other services
External:
* udisks should not use udisks-part-id, instead use blkid. also not probe /dev/loopxxx
* snd-seq should go, https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=676095
* gnome-shell python script/glxinfo/is-accelerated must die
* make cryptsetup lower --iter-time
* patch kernel for xattr support in /dev, /proc/, /sys and /sys/fs/cgroup?
* patch kernel for cpu feature modalias for autoloading aes/kvm/...
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/ak/linux-misc-2.6.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/cpuid-match
(Rafael J. Wysocki's sysdev rework is on the way. After that CPUs can be exported a proper bus.)
* procps, psmisc, sysvinit-tools, hostname → util-linux-ng

Regularly:
* look for close() vs. close_nointr() vs. close_nointr_nofail()
* check for strerror(r) instead of strerror(-r)
* Use PR_SET_PROCTITLE_AREA if it becomes available in the kernel
* %m in printf() instead of strerror();
* pahole
* CFLAGS="-Wl,--gc-sections -Wl,--print-gc-sections -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections"
