* properly handle .mount unit state tracking when two mount points are stacked one on top of another on the exact same mount point.
Fedora 19:
* Retest multi-seat
* create /var/log/journal/
Features:
* add configure switch for enabling/disabling efi stuff
* introduce ExecCondition= in services
* unify killing logic of service, socket, mount, swap units
* logind: document new PrepareForSleep(false) semantics and UnlockSessions call in wiki
* if we have systemd-analyze in C "systemctl dot" should move there too
* fsck hookup for the ESP mount is missing
* external: maybe it is time to patch procps so that "ps" links to
libsystemd-logind to print a pretty service name, seat name, session
name in its output. Currently it only shows cgroup membership, but
that's sometimes kinda hard to parse for a human.
* write man page for efi boot generator
* maybe not install getty@tty1.service symlink in /etc but in /usr?
* re-enable "make check" for gtk-doc (broken for unknown reason)
* "systemctl disable" on a static unit prints no message and does
nothing. "systemctl enable" does nothing, and gives a bad message
about it. Should fix both to print nice actionable messages.
* fstab: add new mount option x-systemd-after=/foobar/waldo to allow manual dependencies to other mount points
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=812826
* cgroup attrs:
- don't filter out duplicate settings
- don't unconditionally filter out duplicate settings
- support high-level cgroup setting syntax in systemctl. Example: "systemctl set-cgroup-attr MemoryLimit 5K"
- support writte string mapping even for non-high-level settings
- add man page for systemctl commands
- make sure we work fine with multi-line strings
* print a nicer explanation if people use variable/specifier expansion in ExecStart= for the first word
* kernel cmdline switch to turn off predictable network interface names
* journal is not closed properly at shutdown when run in a container?
* introduce new "journal" group in place of adm?
Features:
* introduce ExecCondition= in services
* unify killing logic of service, socket, mount, swap units
* if we have systemd-analyze in C "systemctl dot" should move there too
* EFI:
- fsck hookup for the ESP mount is missing
- write man page for efi boot generator
- add configure switch for enabling/disabling efi stuff
- honor language efi variables for default language selection (if there are any?)
- honor timezone efi variables for default timezone selection (if there are any?)
- introduce bootctl (backed by systemd-bootd) to control temporary and persistent default boot goal plus efi variables
* maybe not install getty@tty1.service symlink in /etc but in /usr?
* re-enable "make check" for gtk-doc (broken for unknown reason)
* fstab: add new mount option x-systemd-after=/foobar/waldo to allow manual dependencies to other mount points
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=812826
* 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
* logind:
- 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
- Add pretty name for seats in logind
- logind: allow showing logout dialog from system?
- logind: spawn user@..service on login
- logind: non-local X11 server handling
- logind: add equivalent to sd_pid_get_owner_uid() to the D-Bus API
- pam_systemd: try to get old session id from cgroup, if audit sessionid cannot be determined
- pam: when leaving a session explicitly exclude the ReleaseSession() caller process from the killing spree
* exec: when deinitializating a tty device fix the perms and group, too, not only when initializing. Set access mode/gid to 0620/tty.
