Lennart Poettering71092d72011-07-29 05:01:47 +02001Bugfixes:
Kay Sievers7c66aeb2012-04-17 02:55:39 +02002* check systemd-tmpfiles for selinux context hookup for mknod(), symlink() and similar
3
Lennart Poetteringc904f642011-02-25 01:47:31 +01004* swap units that are activated by one name but shown in the kernel under another are semi-broken
5
Kay Sieversf9576322011-09-21 19:33:52 +02006* Dangling symlinks of .automount unit files in .wants/ directories, set up
7 automount points even when the original .automount file did not exist
8 anymore. Only the .mount unit was still around.
9
Lennart Poettering9a366072011-10-07 22:00:23 +020010* make polkit checks async
11
Lennart Poetteringa40593a2011-11-08 19:12:29 +010012* properly handle .mount unit state tracking when two mount points are stacked one on top of another on the exact same mount point.
Kay Sievers20ffc4c2012-04-17 18:47:49 +020013
Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek7bcd8652013-01-29 16:14:07 -050014* add 'set -e' to scripts in test/
15* make test in test/ work with separate output dir
16
Kay Sievers2f8d0772013-02-04 18:54:58 +010017* suppress log output on shutdown when "quiet" is used
18
Kay Sievers2d19f952013-01-16 05:02:53 +010019Fedora 19:
Lennart Poettering3679d112013-02-27 02:24:10 +010020
Kay Sievers2f8d0772013-02-04 18:54:58 +010021* make anaconda write timeout=0 for encrypted devices
Lennart Poettering81d112a2013-01-29 00:36:23 +010022
Lennart Poetteringa4cc3e52013-01-24 02:59:25 +010023* external: maybe it is time to patch procps so that "ps" links to
24 libsystemd-logind to print a pretty service name, seat name, session
25 name in its output. Currently it only shows cgroup membership, but
Lennart Poettering0028da22013-01-25 03:07:24 +010026 that's sometimes kinda hard to parse for a human.
Lennart Poetteringa4cc3e52013-01-24 02:59:25 +010027
Lennart Poettering7e2c2bc2013-01-18 01:48:46 +010028* cgroup attrs:
Lennart Poetteringf0c15f22013-02-27 18:56:25 +010029 - update dbus interface docs in wiki
Lennart Poettering7b4da182013-01-14 02:13:07 +010030
Lennart Poettering7b4da182013-01-14 02:13:07 +010031* kernel cmdline switch to turn off predictable network interface names
Lennart Poettering788f75a2013-01-08 19:43:01 +010032
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +010033* journal is not closed properly at shutdown when run in a container?
34
Lennart Poettering81d112a2013-01-29 00:36:23 +010035* localed:
36 - localectl: add listing support for X11 keymaps, by parsing /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/xorg.lst
37 - localectl: support new converted x11→console keymaps
38
Lennart Poetteringeb124a92013-02-09 01:17:36 +010039* logind: Class property should probably know "background" or so as value for cron jobs, and the inhibition checks should filter those out too.
Lennart Poettering990ffbe2013-02-08 23:25:55 +010040
Lennart Poetteringdd359de2013-02-13 04:57:30 +010041* timer logic is confused by units which are skipped due to failing condition
42 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2013-February/008816.html
43
Lennart Poettering61a96482013-03-06 15:39:27 +010044* timer logic is also confused if a service it triggers hasn't finished when the next timer elapses:
45 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2013-February/009021.html
46
Lennart Poetteringeb124a92013-02-09 01:17:36 +010047Features:
Lennart Poettering3679d112013-02-27 02:24:10 +010048
Lennart Poettering795607b2013-03-11 17:49:33 +010049* BootLoaderSpec: drop allowing ext234 for $BOOT. Clarify that the
50 kernel has to be in $BOOT. Clarify that the boot loader should be
51 installed to the ESP. Define a way how an installer can figure out
52 whether a BLS compliant boot loader is installed.
53
Lennart Poettering795607b2013-03-11 17:49:33 +010054* man: remove .include documentation, and instead push people to use .d/*.conf
55
56* disallow .include from included files
57
Lennart Poetteringcf4eeab2013-03-08 13:49:14 +010058* timedatectl needs to show whether NTP is available at all
59
Lennart Poettering5b3968b2013-03-08 14:01:06 +010060* reduce caps of systemd-localed
61
Lennart Poettering247c8732013-03-07 20:46:35 +010062* safe_atod() is too naive, as it is vulnerable to locale parameters, should be locale independent.
63
Lennart Poettering0be83422013-03-07 13:39:57 +010064* think about requeuing jobs when daemon-reload is issued? usecase:
65 the initrd issues a reload after fstab from the host is accessible
66 and we might want to requeue the mounts local-fs acquired through
67 that automatically.
68
Lennart Poettering6bc80e92013-03-05 04:10:19 +010069* neither pkexec nor sudo initialize environ[] from the PAM environment?
70
Lennart Poettering487060c2013-03-01 14:54:55 +010071* rework specifier logic so that we can distuingish OOM errors from other errors
72
Lennart Poettering54c31a72013-02-28 19:55:48 +010073* systemd-inhibit: refuse taking delay locks
74
Lennart Poettering826872b2013-02-27 15:00:38 +010075* journal-or-kmsg is currently broken? See reverted commit 4a01181e460686d8b4a543b1dfa7f77c9e3c5ab8.
76
Lennart Poettering54c31a72013-02-28 19:55:48 +010077* remove any syslog support from log.c -- we probably can't do this before split-off udev is gone for good
Lennart Poettering826872b2013-02-27 15:00:38 +010078
Lennart Poettering3679d112013-02-27 02:24:10 +010079* fedora: connect the timer units of a service to the service via Also= in [Install], and maybe introduce timers.target
80
81* fedora: F20: go timer units all the way, leave cron.daily for cron
82
83* add a tool that lists active timer units plus their next elapstion and the time the units ran last
84
85* man: document the very specific env the shutdown drop-in tools live in
86
87* shutdown logging: store to EFI var, and store to USB stick?
88
89* man: extend runlevel(8) to mention that runlevels suck, and are dead. Maybe add runlevel(7) with a note about that too
90
91* systemctl: maybe add "systemctl add-wants" or so...
92
93* man: add a link to socket activation blog from systemd.socket(5)
94
95* systemctl status: show drop-in snippets for service files in addition to service file path themesevles.
96
97* man: add more examples to man pages
98
99* man: maybe sort directives in man pages, and take sections from --help and apply them to man too
100
Lennart Poettering3679d112013-02-27 02:24:10 +0100101* add "# export SYSTEMD_PAGER=" to bash login
102
103* /usr/bin/service should actually show the new command line
104
105* fedora: suggest auto-restart on failure, but not on sucess and not on coredump. also, ask people to think about changing the start limit logic. Also point people to RestartPreventExitStatus=, SuccessExitStatus=
106
107* write UI tool that pops up emergency messages from the journal as notification
108
109* think about window-manager-run-as-user-service problem: exit 0 → activate shutdown.target; exit != 0 → restart service
110
111* msgcatalog determine default language of entries from the catalog
112 file name. i.e. foobar.de_DE.catalog would set the default entry
113 name for the entries to de_DE if they aren't explicitly suffixed
114 individually.
115
Lennart Poettering3ac525b2013-02-13 21:20:42 +0100116* figure out what we do about hostnames/fqdn in hostnamectl/hostnamed
117
Lennart Poetteringcbb77122013-02-13 19:35:28 +0100118* use "log level" rather than "log priority" everywhere
119
120* unit_name_mangle() is currently not used on "systemctl enable" and friends, only on "systemctl start"
121
Lennart Poetteringdd359de2013-02-13 04:57:30 +0100122* ensure sd_journal_seek_monotonic actually works properly.
123
Lennart Poetteringd01a73b2013-02-13 00:12:40 +0100124* timedate: have global on/off switches for auto-time (NTP), and auto-timezone that connman can subscribe to.
125
Lennart Poetteringeb124a92013-02-09 01:17:36 +0100126* support --root= in msgcatalog compiler
127
Lennart Poettering990ffbe2013-02-08 23:25:55 +0100128* Honour "-" prefix for InaccessibleDirectories= and ReadOnlyDirectories= to
Lennart Poetteringf8aeee12013-01-30 02:33:16 +0100129 suppress errors of the specified path doesn't exist
130
131* dev-setup.c: when running in a container, create a tiny stub udev
132 database with the systemd tag set for all network interfaces found,
133 so that libudev reports them as present, and systemd's .device units
134 will be activated.
135
Lennart Poettering81d112a2013-01-29 00:36:23 +0100136* merge service_kill() logic into unit_kill_context() and unify the code paths
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100137
Lennart Poettering81d112a2013-01-29 00:36:23 +0100138* introduce ExecCondition= in services
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100139
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100140* EFI:
141 - fsck hookup for the ESP mount is missing
142 - write man page for efi boot generator
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100143 - honor language efi variables for default language selection (if there are any?)
144 - honor timezone efi variables for default timezone selection (if there are any?)
145 - introduce bootctl (backed by systemd-bootd) to control temporary and persistent default boot goal plus efi variables
146
Kay Sieversc0fe5db2013-01-27 22:59:01 +0100147* maybe do not install getty@tty1.service symlink in /etc but in /usr?
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100148
149* re-enable "make check" for gtk-doc (broken for unknown reason)
150
151* fstab: add new mount option x-systemd-after=/foobar/waldo to allow manual dependencies to other mount points
152 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=812826
153
154* print a nicer explanation if people use variable/specifier expansion in ExecStart= for the first word
155
Lennart Poettering205b7fa2013-01-07 22:15:48 +0100156* mount: turn dependency information from /proc/self/mountinfo into dependency information between systemd units.
157
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100158* logind:
159 - logind: optionally, ignore idle-hint logic for autosuspend, block suspend as long as a session is around
160 - When we update the kernel all kind of hibernation should be prohibited until shutdown/reboot
161 - logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
162 - Add pretty name for seats in logind
163 - logind: allow showing logout dialog from system?
164 - logind: spawn user@..service on login
165 - logind: non-local X11 server handling
166 - logind: add equivalent to sd_pid_get_owner_uid() to the D-Bus API
167 - pam_systemd: try to get old session id from cgroup, if audit sessionid cannot be determined
168 - pam: when leaving a session explicitly exclude the ReleaseSession() caller process from the killing spree
Lennart Poetteringeb124a92013-02-09 01:17:36 +0100169 - logind: GetSessionByPID() should accept 0 as PID value
Lennart Poettering95b4be12012-12-23 22:38:21 +0100170
Lennart Poettering499519c2012-12-19 20:50:42 +0100171* exec: when deinitializating a tty device fix the perms and group, too, not only when initializing. Set access mode/gid to 0620/tty.
172
Lennart Poettering490b7e42012-12-19 15:27:27 +0100173* DeviceAllow/DeviceDeny: disallow everything by default, but whitelist /dev/zero, /dev/null and friends
174
175* service: watchdog logic: for testing purposes allow ping, but do not require pong
176
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100177* journal:
Kay Sieversc06bf412013-02-27 13:07:09 +0100178 - import and delete pstore filesystem content at startup
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100179 - journald: also get thread ID from client, plus thread name
180 - journal: when waiting for journal additions in the client always sleep at least 1s or so, in order to minimize wakeups
181 - add API to close/reopen/get fd for journal client fd in libsystemd-journal.
182 - fallback to /dev/log based logging in libsystemd-journal, if we can't log natively?
183 - declare the local journal protocol stable in the wiki interface chart
184 - journal: reuse XZ context
185 - sd-journal: speed up sd_journal_get_data() with transparent hash table in bg
186 - journald: when dropping msgs due to ratelimit make sure to write
187 "dropped %u messages" not only when we are about to print the next
188 message that works, but alraedy after a short tiemout
189 - check if we can make journalctl by default use --follow mode inside of less if called without args?
190 - maybe add API to send pairs of iovecs via sd_journal_send
191 - journal: when writing journal auto-rotate if time jumps backwards
192 - gatewayd: should run under its own UID
Lennart Poetteringf47ec8e2013-03-05 18:59:14 +0100193 - journal: add a setgid "systemd-journal" utility to invoke from libsystemd-journal, which passes fds via STDOUT and does PK access
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100194 - journactl: support negative filtering, i.e. FOOBAR!="waldo",
195 and !FOOBAR for events without FOOBAR.
196 - journal: when rotating, copy over old acls/access mode
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100197 - journal: send out marker messages every now and then, and immediately sync with fdatasync() afterwards, in order to have hourly guaranteed syncs.
198 - journal: when we haven't written anything in a while, sync to disk and mark file as offline, in order to be more often than not in a clean state
199 - 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.
200 - journal: find a way to allow dropping history early, based on priority, other rules
201 - journal: When used on NFS, check payload hashes
202 - journal: When used on NFS make sure wake up sd_journal_wait() every 2s, to handle missing inotify
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100203 - Introduce journalctl -b <nr> to show journal messages of a previous boot
204 - journald: check whether it is OK if the client can still modify delivered journal entries
Lennart Poetteringf47ec8e2013-03-05 18:59:14 +0100205 - journal live copy, based on libneon (client) and libmicrohttpd (server)
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100206 - journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
207 - refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
208 - journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
209 - journal: deal nicely with byte-by-byte copied files, especially regards header
210 - journalctl: show multiline log messages sanely, expand tabs, and show all valid utf8 messages
211 - journal: store euid in journal if it differs from uid
212 - journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the components would fit
Lennart Poettering2e4015f2013-03-07 21:48:17 +0100213 - journalctl: make journalctl smarter, and actually check groups that have access to /var/log/journal before printing message about recomming group membership for journal access
Lennart Poettering59659842012-11-22 20:16:15 +0100214
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100215* document:
216 - document unit_name_mangle()
217 - document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fileds in
218 [Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
219 - man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
220 - Document word splitting syntax for ExecStart= and friends
221 - document that units from /etc override those from /usr and /run
222 - document the exit codes when services fail before they are exec()ed
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100223 - document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
Lennart Poetteringeb124a92013-02-09 01:17:36 +0100224 - document in wiki how to map ical recurrence events to systemd timer unit calendar specifications
Lennart Poetteringe4181482012-11-20 21:33:49 +0100225
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100226* systemctl:
227 - systemctl list-jobs - show dependencies
228 - add systemctl switch to dump transaction without executing it
229 - Add a verbose mode to "systemctl start" and friends that explains what is being done or not done
230 - "systemctl disable" on a static unit prints no message and does
231 nothing. "systemctl enable" does nothing, and gives a bad message
232 about it. Should fix both to print nice actionable messages.
233 - print nice message from systemctl --failed if there are no entries shown, and hook that into ExecStartPre of rescue.service/emergency.service
234 - add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
235 - systemctl enable: improve the success messages (i.e. more human readable, less shell-like)
236 - systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into doesn't exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
237 - systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
238 - support "systemctl stop foobar@.service" to stop all units matching a certain template
239 - Something is wrong with symlink handling of "autovt@.service" in "systemctl list-unit-files"
Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek7ba97192013-03-07 12:41:22 -0500240 - add configuration/switches to use
241 freeze (http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git) and
242 standby (https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=57793) as suspend modes
Lennart Poettering8ed20652012-11-18 23:32:09 +0100243
Lennart Poetteringe673ad02012-11-14 22:20:51 +0100244* introduce ntp.service (or suchlike) as symlink that is used to arbitrate between various NTP implementations
245
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100246* deal with sendmail/postfix exclusivity
247
248* timer units:
249 - configurable jitter for timer events
250 - timer events with system resume
251 - timer units should get the ability to trigger when:
252 o CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (TFD_TIMER_CANCEL_ON_SET)
253 o DST changes
Lennart Poetteringeb124a92013-02-09 01:17:36 +0100254 - Support 2012-02~4 as syntax for specifying the fourth to last day of the month.
Kay Sieversd2e83c22012-11-04 15:47:08 +0100255
256* update the kernel's TZ (sys_tz) when DST changes
257
258* sync down the system time to the RTC when:
Kay Sieversf6113d42012-11-07 13:59:50 +0100259 - CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (the user explicitely requested a time set)
260 - DST/timezone changes && ntp is active && RTC-in-localtime (never do it without ntp)
Kay Sieversd2e83c22012-11-04 15:47:08 +0100261 This takes care of syncing ntpdate updates to the RTC, and DST updates for localtime
Kay Sievers7a43e912012-11-05 02:17:23 +0100262 mode, it will never touch the RTC if the no reliable time source is active or the
Kay Sieversd2e83c22012-11-04 15:47:08 +0100263 user did not request anything like it.
Lennart Poetteringc55b1b52012-10-31 00:04:59 +0100264
Kay Sievers6c1703c2012-10-29 20:54:19 +0100265* hwdb:
266 - implement conditional properties (dmi matches)
267 - hwdb --filter=ID_DRIVE_*
Lennart Poettering08f95882012-10-03 11:37:06 -0400268
Lennart Poettering59704f32013-01-17 21:20:23 +0100269* if booted in "quiet" mode, and an error happens, turn on status
270 output again, so that the emergency mode isn't totally
271 surprising. Also, terminate plymouth.
Lennart Poettering9ec82de2012-10-28 00:49:49 +0200272
Lennart Poetteringe707c492012-10-26 03:51:10 +0200273* libunwind support for coredump pattern hook, and includes this in
274 the message for coredumps. After all, libunwind is now capable to
275 unwind coredumps since a few weeks ago. This probably requires that
Lennart Poettering7f873282013-01-17 02:49:57 +0100276 we have nice support for multi-line messages on display in
277 logs-show.c. Alternatively: use libelfutil, which seems to be the
278 better supported alternative.

283
Lennart Poettering1cb88f22012-10-23 17:13:01 +0200284* 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().
285
286* fedup: add --unit to systemctl switch-root somehow
287* fedup: don't delete initrd on switch-root
288* fedup: generator

297
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100298* on shutdown: move utmp, wall, audit logic all into PID 1 (or logind?), get rid of systemd-update-utmp-runlevel
Lennart Poettering08f95882012-10-03 11:37:06 -0400299
Kay Sievers7d8197d2012-10-02 19:09:09 +0200300* add "provisioning" instructions to setup an empty /etc + /var
301 - used to setup a new container from a shared /usr
302 - superset of tmpfiles model

304 - compose /etc/passwd and /etc/group, copy files
305 - able to create uid + gid used by packages, for file ownership
306
Kay Sievers9ee58bd2012-10-02 18:18:41 +0200307* make repeated alt-ctrl-del presses printing a dump, or even force a reboot without
308 waiting for the timeout
Lennart Poetteringdcfc4b22012-08-03 21:49:06 +0200309
Lennart Poettering71ef24d2012-10-02 13:11:26 -0400310* high level net_prio setting in execution context
311
Lennart Poettering71ef24d2012-10-02 13:11:26 -0400312* hostnamed: before returning information from /etc/machine-info.conf check the modification data and reread. Similar for localed, ...
313
Lennart Poettering1b898842012-09-27 17:18:13 +0200314* currently x-systemd.timeout is lost in the initrd, since crypttab is copied into dracut, but fstab isn't
315
Lennart Poettering1920e372012-09-24 22:46:22 +0200316* WorkingDirectory: support env var replacements like in ExecStart= so that people can use $HOME
317

Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100320* nspawn:
321 - nspawn: consider changing users for -u with su, so that NSS resolving works correctly
322 - nspawn: implement personality changes a la linux32(8)
323 - nspawn: --read-only is not applied recursively to submounts
324 - nspawn: make use of device cgroup controller by default
325 - bind mount read-only the cgroup tree higher than nspawn
Lennart Poetteringeb124a92013-02-09 01:17:36 +0100326 - nspawn: investigate whether we can support the same as LXC's
327 lxc.network.type=phys mode, and pass through entire network
328 interfaces to the container
329 - nspawn: maybe add a way to drop additional caps, in addition to add additional caps
330 - nspawn: maybe explicitly reset loginuid?
Lennart Poettering3679d112013-02-27 02:24:10 +0100331 - nspawn: move all containers to name=systemd:/containers/, and introduce externally visible names for containers
332 - nspawn: make it work for dwalsh and shared /usr containers -- tmpfs mounts as command line parameters, selinux exec context
Lennart Poettering1920e372012-09-24 22:46:22 +0200333
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100334* cryptsetup:

Lennart Poetteringde34a422012-09-17 13:24:35 +0200342* move debug shell to tty6 and make sure this doesn't break the gettys on tty6
343
Lennart Poettering424a19f2012-09-14 20:02:52 +0200344* hw watchdog: optionally try to use the preset watchdog timeout instead of always overriding it
Lennart Poettering41f91722012-09-18 11:27:56 +0200345 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54712

Lennart Poettering85568792012-09-12 04:46:38 +0200353
Lennart Poettering85568792012-09-12 04:46:38 +0200354* come up with a nice way to write queue/read_ahead_kb for a block device without interfering with readahead
355
Lennart Poettering4a308472012-09-11 01:45:27 +0200356* move PID 1 segfaults to /var/lib/systemd/coredump?

369
Lennart Poettering68f16002012-08-13 15:39:25 +0200370* MountFlags=shared acts as MountFlags=slave right now.
371
Lennart Poettering5a7e9592012-08-13 16:27:17 +0200372* ReadOnlyDirectories= is not applied recursively to submounts
373
Lennart Poettering68f16002012-08-13 15:39:25 +0200374* drop PID 1 reloading, only do reexecing (difficult: Reload()
375 currently is properly synchronous, Reexec() is weird, because we
376 can't delay the response properly until we are back, so instead of
377 being properly synchronous we just keep open the fd and close it
Thomas Hindoe Paaboel Andersenedca2e22012-11-05 21:13:28 +0100378 when done. That means clients don't get a successful method reply,
Lennart Poettering68f16002012-08-13 15:39:25 +0200379 but much rather a disconnect on success.
Lennart Poettering0790b9f2012-08-09 12:52:49 +0200380
Lennart Poettering5aea9322012-08-08 19:19:45 +0200381* remember which condition failed for services, not just the fact that something failed

388
Lennart Poettering4d9909c2012-07-31 14:35:42 +0200389* dracut-shutdown needs to be ordered before unmounting /boot
390
Lennart Poettering47ae7202012-07-27 12:21:39 +0200391* initialize the hostname from the fs label of /, if /etc/hostname does not exist?

396 - syscall filter: add knowledge about compat syscalls
397 - syscall filter: don't enforce no new privs?
398 - syscall filter: option to return EPERM rather than SIGSYS?
399 - syscall filter: port to libseccomp
400 - system-wide seccomp filter
Lennart Poetteringc66d36e2012-07-10 16:46:15 +0200401
David Straussc649f722012-11-23 03:51:41 -0600402* systemd-analyze: data collection tools should be lightweight (few dependencies); data analysis tools can be heavyweight
403
Lennart Poetteringbe0aa782012-07-10 00:32:22 +0200404* .device aliases need to be implemented with the "following" logic, probably.
405
Lennart Poettering99469962012-07-03 16:09:36 +0200406* load-fragment: when loading a unit file via a chain of symlinks
407 verify that it isn't masked via any of the names traversed.
408
Lennart Poettering3471bed2012-06-27 22:38:35 +0200409* introduce Type=pid-file

420
Lennart Poetteringb86fa932012-05-21 15:28:07 +0200421* move passno parsing to fstab generator
422
Kay Sieversd3a3f222013-01-16 05:01:04 +0100423* automount: implement expire:
424 - set superblock timeout AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_TIMEOUT_CMD
425 - periodically run AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_EXPIRE_CMD
426 - every timeout/4 (original autofs logic)
427 - blocking, needs a thread
428 - run until -EAGAIN
429 - receive expire packet on pipe if kernel tells the timeout is over
430 - call umount
431 - answer expire packet on pipe with AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_{READY,FAIL}_CMD
432 - AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_EXPIRE_CMD returns
Lennart Poettering465349c2012-05-07 17:16:50 +0200433
Lennart Poettering06dab8e2012-05-03 22:53:25 +0200434* services which create their own subcgroups break cgroup-empty notification (needs to be fixed in the kernel)

462
Lennart Poetteringd0e5a332012-02-20 19:56:14 +0100463* default unix qlen is too small (10). bump sysctl? add sockopt?

466

Lennart Poettering680a1db2012-02-02 02:21:59 +0100468
Lennart Poetteringa6e87e92012-09-05 15:25:32 -0700469* dbus: move dbus to early boot

Lennart Poettering71092d72011-07-29 05:01:47 +0200506* support sd_notify() style notification when shutting down, to make auto-exit bus services work (STOPPING=1)
Lennart Poettering8d0e38a2011-06-15 15:31:54 +0200507
Lennart Poetteringf28f1da2011-05-20 01:57:20 +0200508* verify that the AF_UNIX sockets of a service in the fs still exist
509 when we start a service in order to avoid confusion when a user
510 assumes starting a service is enough to make it accessible
511
Lennart Poettering88a07672011-05-12 16:14:44 +0200512* Make it possible to set the keymap independently from the font on
513 the kernel cmdline. Right now setting one resets also the other.

Kay Sievers69b1c672011-12-29 14:09:04 +0100609* NTP: the kernel's 11-minutes-mode syncs the system time to the RTC, but only
610 in an ~30 minutes window. It does not adjust larger differences. Find a way
611 to tell the kernel, to always do a full time sync when the RTC is in UTC and
612 we are in 11-minutes-mode. When we trust the system time to NTP we also want
613 the RTC to sync up.
