100% systemd Calendar Timers systemd has supported timer units for activating services based on time since its inception. However, it only could schedule services based on monotonic time events (i.e. "every 5 minutes"). With this feature in place systemd also supports calendar time events (i.e. "every monday morning 6:00 am", or "at midnight on every 1st, 2nd, 3rd of each month if that's saturday or sunday"). 2012-01-17
100% systemd Lightweight Containers For a longer time systemd already included the systemd-nspawn tool as a more powerful version of chroot(1), primarily inteded for use in development, experimenting, debugging, instrumentation, testing and building of software. With Fedora 19 we want to make nspawn considerably more useful, so that it can easily be used to start containers capable of booting up a complete and unmodified Fedora distribution inside as normal system services. 2012-01-17
100% systemd Message Catalog Logging is essential for finding and tracking down system problems. Just finding and tracking them down however is seldom enough to actually get them fixed. With Journal Message Catalogs we want to link helpful meta information directly to many log messages applications generate, keyed off an ID identifying the type of message. This localized meta information can help the user to fix the problem, refer him to additional documentation, or even inform him where to get further help. 2012-01-17
95% systemd/udev Predictable Network Interface Names The udevd service has a long history of providing predicatable names for block devices and others. For Fedora 19 we'd like to provide the same for network interfaces, following a similar naming scheme, but only as fallback if not other solution such as biosdevname is installed or the administrator manually defined network interface names via udev rules or the old network scripts. 2012-01-29
100% systemd Resource Control systemd already has support for assigning specific resources to system services using various configuration settings. With Fedora 19 we'd like to build on that, and add the ability for the admin to dynamically query the resource control parameters and change them at runtime. 2012-03-07
80% Systemtap 2.2 A new feature release of Systemtap 2013-03-05
55% Thermostat 1.0 Improved monitoring and serviceability tool for Java applications 2013-03-12
80% Trusted Network Connect (TNC) This feature provides Trusted Network Connect(TNC) framework that can be used to assess and verify end clients' system state (such as network ports/firewall status or legitimate binaries) and its compliance to a predefined policy with existing network access control (NAC) solutions. 2013-03-11
20% Usermode Migration Access control of privileged operations for ordinary users should be handled exclusively by a centrally managed authority. 2012-10-16
50% Virt Device Failover Support for transparent failover between an assigned and an emulated device, allows enabling the migration and overcommit dynamically, while still gaining the performance benefits of device assignment and without disrupting the guest operation. 2013-01-29
90% Virt Storage Migration Migrate a running virtual machine from one host to another, including in use storage, with no downtime. No need for a shared storage location between the two. 2013-03-12
