TODO - systemd-stable - Rivoreo Source Code Repositories

 F15:

 * swap units that are activated by one name but shown in the kernel under another are semi-broken

 * isolate multi-user.target doesn't start a getty@tty1 if we run it from graphical.target

 * NFS, networkmanager ordering issue (PENDING)

 * add fstab fields to add wait timeouts, change Wants to Requires by local-fs.target

 * hook emergency.target into local-fs.target in some way as OnFailure with isolate

 * save/restore tool for SysV as requested by FPC (PENDING)

 * bind mounts are ignored

 * 0595f9a1c182a84581749823ef47c5f292e545f9 is borked, freezes shutdown
     (path: after installing inotify watches, recheck file again to fix race)

 * NM should pull in network.target, ntpd should pull in rtc-set.target.

 * bluetooth should be possible to disable

 * fix alsa mixer restore to not print error when no config is stored

 * don't trim empty cgroups
   https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=678555

 * reload-or-try-restart man page uses word "fail"

 Features:

 * write blog stories about:
   - chroot, nspawn and friends
   - the blame game: systemd-analyze
   - enabling dbus services
   - status update

 * allow port = 0 in .socket units

 * rename systemd-logger to systemd-stdio-syslog-bridge

 * introduce /usr/lib/binfmt.d/, /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/

 * in pam_systemd: don't rely on /proc/self/loginuid in a container

 * take BSD file lock on tty devices when using them?

 * tmpfiles should allow two identical lines
   https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=690253

 * avoid any flag files, or readahead files in /, we need to support r/o /
   or / on tmpfs like Android setups.

 * teach dbus to activate all services it finds in /etc/systemd/services/org-*.service

 * get process transport into dbus for systemctl -P/-H

 * document default dependencies

 * support systemd.whitelist=/systemd.blacklist= on the kernel command
   line.

 * Find a way to replace /var/run, /var/lock directories with
   symlinks during an RPM package upgrade (filesystem.rpm or systemd.rpm).
   We soon want to get rid of var-run.mount var-lock.mount units.

 * when key file cannot be found, read it from kbd in cryptsetup

 * get rid of random file name in generator directory?
     /run/systemd/generator-IH1vFu

 * fix SD_WARNING syslog stuff in src/sd-daemon.h to include the
   LOG_DAEMON(3) facility value. Never use the LOG_KERNEL(0) facility.

 * add switch to systemctl to show enabled but not running services. Or
   another switch that shows service that have been running since
   booting but aren't running anymore.

 * reuse mkdtemp namespace dirs in /tmp?

 * don't strip facility from kmsg log messages as soon as that is possible:
     http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=9d90c8d9cde929cbc575098e825d7c29d9f45054

 * recreate systemd's D-Bus private socket file on SIGUSR2

 * be more specific what failed:
     ...
     Unmounting file systems.
     Not all file systems unmounted, 1 left.
     Disabling swaps.
     Detaching loop devices.
     Detaching DM devices.
     Cannot finalize remaining file systems and devices, trying to kill remaining processes.
     Unmounting file systems.
     Not all file systems unmounted, 1 left.
     Cannot finalize remaining file systems and devices, giving up.
     ...

 * check for compiled-in, but not active selinux, and don't print any warnings
   about policy loading. Probably check for available selinux in /proc/filesystems,
   and check for active selinux with getcon_raw() == "kernel"

 * optionally create watched directories in .path units

 * Support --test based on current system state

 * consider services with no [Install] section and stored in /lib enabled by "systemctl is-enabled"

 * consider services with any kind of link in /etc/systemd/system enabled

 * show failure error string in "systemctl status"

 * make sure timeouts are applied to Type=oneshot services.

 * Maybe implement "systemctl mask" and "systemctl unmask", but not
   document it? When doing that add switch to make this temporary by
   placing mask links in /dev.
   Consider moving the actual fs operations into systemd behind a D-Bus
   interface, to make namespaces/containers/remote connections work properly.

 * detect LXC environment

 * invoke vhangup() before and after invoking getty
     http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=3c95c985fa91ecf6a0e29622bbdd13dcfc5ce9f1

 * support "auto" and "comment=systemd.automount" at the same time for an fstab entry

 * Maybe store in unit files whether a service should be enabled by default on package installation
   (belongs into a distro pattern though, not in an upstream package's service file)

 * perhaps add "systemctl reenable" as combination of "systemctl disable" and "systemctl enable"

 * need a way to apply mount options of api vfs from systemd unit files
   (or some other modern source?) instead of fstab

 * maybe introduce ExecRestartPre=

 * figure out what happened to bluez patch

 * Patch systemd-fsck to use -C and pass console fd to it

 * support remote/ssh systemctl/systemadm, and local privileged access → dbus patches need to be merged

 * configurable jitter for timer events

 * Support ProcessNeededForShutdown=true to allow stuff like mdmon
   to be killed very late after the rootfs is read only (?)

 * Integrate "mdadm --wait-clean". Maybe just let SIGTERM to mdmon trigger the
   needed action

 * dot output for --test showing the 'initial transaction'

 * calendar time support in timer, iCalendar semantics for the timer stuff (RFC2445)
   - check timerfd() patch: http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/11/23/290

 * systemd --user
   - get PR_SET_ANCHOR merged: http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/2/2/165

 * add VT tracking:
   - provide CK functionality
   - start getty only when actual vt switch happens (same model as
     socket on-demand activation). allocate the next free tty and
     start a getty there. this way, pressing alt-f[1-12] will switch
     through running X and getty sessions, and any unallocated
     activated tty will start a new getty. the hardcoding of
     getty[1-6] will entirely go away.

 * implicitly import "defaults" settings file into all types

 * port over to LISTEN_FDS/LISTEN_PID:
    - uuidd    HAVEPATCH
    - rpcbind (/var/run/rpcbind.sock!) HAVEPATCH
    - cups     HAVEPATCH
    - postfix, saslauthd
    - apache/samba
    - libvirtd (/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock-ro)
    - bluetoothd (/var/run/sdp! @/org/bluez/audio!)
    - distccd

 * fingerprint.target, wireless.target, gps.target, netdevice.target

 * set_put(), hashmap_put() return values check. i.e. == 0 doesn't free()!

 * 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

 * accountsservice is borked

 * 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

 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
