2 * check systemd-tmpfiles for selinux context hookup for mknod(), symlink() and similar
4 * swap units that are activated by one name but shown in the kernel under another are semi-broken
6 * make anaconda write timeout=0 for encrypted devices
8 * Dangling symlinks of .automount unit files in .wants/ directories, set up
9 automount points even when the original .automount file did not exist
10 anymore. Only the .mount unit was still around.
12 * make polkit checks async
14 * properly handle .mount unit state tracking when two mount points are stacked one on top of another on the exact same mount point.
22 * journalctl/gatewayd: GELF output
24 * journal: find a way to allow dropping history early, based on priority, other rules
26 * journal: When interleaving journal files cache binary search results so that
27 we can cheaply continue where we left off.
29 * journal: When used on NFS, check payload hashes
31 * journal: When used on NFS make sure wake up sd_journal_wait() every 2s, to handle missing inotify
33 * "See journal for details" messages should include "journalctl -u" command line
35 * document that people can use file system ACLs to manage access to journal files, with example
37 * don't show cgroup in "systemctl status" if empty/non-existant, especially for foreign .mount units
39 * timedated: export boolean that clarifies whether NTP is even available
41 * timedated: refuse time changes when NTP is on
43 * clean up date formatting and parsing so that all absolute/relative timestamps we format can also be parsed
45 * introduce hybrid-sleep.target
47 * _SOURCE_MONOTONIC_TIMESTAMP entries from the kernel seem to be off by 1000000
49 * document unit_name_mangle()
51 * add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
53 * introduce generic AUGMENT_PID=, AUGMENT_DEVICE= fields
55 * deal with sendmail/postfix exclusivity
57 * systemctl enable: improve the success messages (i.e. more human readable, less shell-like)
59 * systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into doesn't exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
61 * on shutdown: move utmp, wall, audit logic all into PID 1 itself, get rid of systemd-update-utmp-runlevel
63 * add "provisioning" instructions to setup an empty /etc + /var
64 - used to setup a new container from a shared /usr
65 - superset of tmpfiles model
66 - instructions shipped by packages and stored in /usr/lib/
67 - compose /etc/passwd and /etc/group, copy files
68 - able to create uid + gid used by packages, for file ownership
70 * make repeated alt-ctrl-del presses printing a dump, or even force a reboot without
71 waiting for the timeout
73 * high level net_prio setting in execution context
75 * Introduce journalctl -b <nr> to show journal messages of a previous boot
77 * hostnamed: before returning information from /etc/machine-info.conf check the modification data and reread. Similar for localed, ...
79 * currently x-systemd.timeout is lost in the initrd, since crypttab is copied into dracut, but fstab isn't
81 * WorkingDirectory: support env var replacements like in ExecStart= so that people can use $HOME
83 * refuse boot if /etc/machine-id is not useful
85 * nspawn: consider changing users for -u with su, so that NSS resolving works correctly
87 * nspawn: implement personality changes a la linux32(8)
89 * nspawn: reset all aux groups
91 * cryptsetup-generator: warn if the password files are world-readable
93 * cryptsetup-generator: add RequiresMountsFor= to cryptseup service files referencing a file, similar for devices
95 * cryptsetup-generator: allow specification of passwords in crypttab itself
97 * document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fileds in
98 [Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
100 * need to update LGPL2.1 text to newest version (with updated FSF address)
102 * allow users from "wheel" to start/stop services
104 * systemctl: when powering down/suspending check for inhibitors, and warn.
106 * instantiated [Install] for target units
107 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54377
109 * support *static* (/run) hibernate inhibitors. All rpm -i actions should completely prevent any
110 sort of hibernate action until the next reboot. If the kernel or any other base tool is replaced
111 by rpm, the resume path might fail, the for resume needed kernel might even be uninstalled, and
112 the whole situation leads directly to data loss.
114 * move debug shell to tty6 and make sure this doesn't break the gettys on tty6
116 * move cryptsetup key caching into kernel keyctl?
117 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54982
119 * make nspawn work without terminal
121 * hw watchdog: optionally try to use the preset watchdog timeout instead of always overriding it
122 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54712
124 * after deserializing sockets in socket.c we should reapply sockopts and things
126 * make timer units go away after they elapsed
128 * http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2012-September/006502.html
130 * come up with a nice way to write queue/read_ahead_kb for a block device without interfering with readahead
132 * journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
134 * move PID 1 segfaults to /var/lib/systemd/coredump?
136 * Document word splitting syntax for ExecStart= and friends
138 * create /sbin/init symlinks from the build system
140 * Query Paul Moore about relabelling socket fds while they are open
142 * move keymaps to /usr/lib/... rather than /usr/lib/udev/...
144 * journald: check whether it is OK if the client can still modify delivered journal entries
146 * json: properly serialize multiple fields with the same name per entry
148 * journal live copy, based on libneon (client) and libmicrohttpd
150 * document in wiki json serialization
152 * system-wide seccomp filter
154 * ability to pass fds into systemd
156 * system.conf should have controls for cgroups
158 * bind mount read-only the cgroup tree higher than than nspawn

164 * cleanup ellipsation for log output in journalctl and systemctl status: have a sane way to disable ellipsation, and disable it by default when invoked in less/more
166 * explore multiple service instances per listening socket idea
168 * testing tool for socket activation: some binary that listens on a socket and passes it on using the usual socket activation protocol to some server.
170 * shutdown: don't read-only mount anything when running in container
172 * nspawn: --read-only is not applied recursively to submounts
174 * MountFlags=shared acts as MountFlags=slave right now.
176 * ReadOnlyDirectories= is not applied recursively to submounts
178 * drop PID 1 reloading, only do reexecing (difficult: Reload()
179 currently is properly synchronous, Reexec() is weird, because we
180 can't delay the response properly until we are back, so instead of
181 being properly synchronous we just keep open the fd and close it
182 when done. That means clients don't get a succesful method reply,
183 but much rather a disconnect on success.
185 * document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
187 * remember which condition failed for services, not just the fact that something failed
189 * use opterr = 0 for all getopt tools
191 * properly handle loop back mounts via fstab, especially regards to fsck/passno
193 * allow services with no ExecStart= but with an ExecStop=
195 * add proper journal support to "systemctl --user status ..."
197 * add _SYSTEMD_USER_UNIT= field to journal entries
199 * dracut-shutdown needs to be ordered before unmounting /boot
201 * initialize the hostname from the fs label of /, if /etc/hostname does not exist?
203 * rename "userspace" to "core-os"
205 * systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
207 * syscall filter: add knowledge about compat syscalls
209 * syscall filter: don't enforce no new privs?
211 * syscall filter: option to return EPERM rather than SIGSYS?
213 * syscall filter: port to libseccomp
215 * logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
217 * systemd-analyze post-boot is broken for initrd
219 * man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
221 * .device aliases need to be implemented with the "following" logic, probably.
223 * refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
225 * load-fragment: when loading a unit file via a chain of symlinks
226 verify that it isn't masked via any of the names traversed.
228 * journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
233 * introduce Type=pid-file
235 * maybe allow services with ExecStop= set, but no ExecStart=?
237 * efi: implement /forcefsck as uefi variables thus not requiring file system altering to trigger a file system check
239 * efi: honour language efi variables for default language selection
241 * efi: honour timezone efi variables for default timezone selection
243 * efi: automatically mount EFI partition to /boot if no such entry exists in /etc/fstab and /boot is empty
244 gummiboot exports the EFI system partion (ESP) device:
245 /sys/firmware/efi/vars/LoaderDeviceIdentifier-4a67b082-0a4c-41cf-b6c7-440b29bb8c4f/data
246 Acpi(PNP0A03,0)/Pci(1F|2)/?/HD(Part1,Sig1FCBC57F-4BFC-4C2B-91A3-9C84FBCD9AF1)
247 '/' is the separator for the device path list
248 HD(Part1,Sig1FCBC57F-4BFC-4C2B-91A3-9C84FBCD9AF1) contains the GPT UUID of the ESP
250 * read the bootloader performance data (raw TSC) in systemd-analyze
251 /sys/firmware/efi/vars/LoaderTicksExec-4a67b082-0a4c-41cf-b6c7-440b29bb8c4f/data
253 /sys/firmware/efi/vars/LoaderTicksInit-4a67b082-0a4c-41cf-b6c7-440b29bb8c4f/data
255 /sys/firmware/efi/vars/LoaderTicksStartMenu-4a67b082-0a4c-41cf-b6c7-440b29bb8c4f/data
256 (only set if the menu was active)
258 * change Requires=basic.target to RequisiteOverride=basic.target
260 * support rd.luks.allow-discards= kernel cmdline params in cryptsetup generator
262 * nspawn: make use of device cgroup contrller by default
264 * drop accountsservice's StandardOutput=syslog and Type=dbus fields
266 * when breaking cycles drop sysv services first, then services from /run, then from /etc, then from /usr
268 * readahead: when bumping /sys readahead variable save mtime and compare later to detect changes
270 * (attempt to) make Debianites happy:
271 - implement .d/ auto includes for unit files
272 - add syntax to reset ExecStart= lists (and similar)
274 * move passno parsing to fstab generator
276 * improve !/proc/*/loginuid situation: make /proc/*/loginuid less dependent on CONFIG_AUDIT,
277 or use the users cgroup information when /proc/*/loginuid is not available.
279 * pam_systemd: try to get old session id from cgroup, if audit sessionid cannot be determined
281 * pam: when leaving a session explicitly exclude the ReleaseSession() caller process from the killing spree
283 * maybe introduce ~/.config/locale.conf and apply it within PAM
285 * readahead: make use of EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT, as used by http://e4rat.sourceforge.net/
287 * automount: implement expire
289 * logind: auto-suspend, auto-shutdown:
290 IdleAction=(none|suspend|opportunistic|hibernate|poweroff)
292 SessionIdleMode=(explicit|ignore|login)
293 ForceShutdown=(yes|no)
295 * services which create their own subcgroups break cgroup-empty notification (needs to be fixed in the kernel)
297 * don't delete /tmp/systemd-namespace-* before a process is gone down
299 * vconsole: implement setterm -store -foreground xxx --background zzz
301 * ExecOnFailure=/usr/bin/foo
303 * fedora: make sshd and pam_loginuid work in nspawn containers
305 * fix utmp for console logins in containers
307 * Add pretty name for seats in logind
309 * ConditionSecurity= should learn about IMA
311 * Auke: merge Auke's bootchart
315 * udev systemd unify:
316 - strpcpy(), strpcpyl(), strscpy(), strscpyl()
317 - utf8 validator code
318 - now() vs. now_usec()
320 * udev: remove network interface renaming, sleep and retry logic, we do
321 no support renaming of interfaces in the conflicting kernel
324 * udev: find a way to tell udev to not cancel firmware requests when running in initramfs
326 * udev: scsi_id -> sg3_utils -> kill scsi_id
328 * udev: add trigger --subsystem-match=usb/usb_device device
330 * allow configuration of console width/height in vconsole.conf
332 * cleanup syslog 'priority' vs. 'level' wording
334 * dbus upstream still refers to dbus.target and shouldn't
336 * when a service has the same env var set twice we actually store it twice and return that in systemctl show -p... We should only show the last setting
338 * support container_ttys=
340 * introduce mix of BindTo and Requisite
342 * journalctl: show multiline log messages sanely, expand tabs, and show all valid utf8 messages
344 * add DeleteSocketsOnStop=yes|no option to socket units
346 * journal: store euid in journal if it differs from uid
348 * There's currently no way to cancel fsck (used to be possible via C-c or c on the console)
350 * journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the componets would fit
352 * add command to systemctl to plot dependency graph as tree (see rhbz 795365)
354 * add option to sockets to avoid activation. Instead just drop packets/connections, see http://cyberelk.net/tim/2012/02/15/portreserve-systemd-solution/
356 * default unix qlen is too small (10). bump sysctl? add sockopt?
358 * figure out whether we should leave dbus around during shutdown
360 * dbus: in fedora, make the machine a symlink to /etc/machine-id

380 * clean up session cgroups that remain after logout (think sshd), but eventually run empty
382 * support "systemctl stop foobar@.service" to stop all units matching a certain template
384 * logind: allow showing logout dialog from system
386 * document that %% can be used to write % in a string that is specifier extended
388 * when an instanced service exits, remove its parent cgroup too if possible.
390 * default to actual 32bit PIDs, via /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max
392 * be able to specify a forced restart of service A where service B depends on, in case B
393 needs to be auto-respawned?
395 * Something is wrong with symlink handling of "autovt@.service" in "systemctl list-unit-files"
397 * when a bus name of a service disappears from the bus make sure to queue further activation requests
399 * something like ConditionExec= or ExecStartPre= without failure state
401 * tmpfiles: apply "x" on "D" too (see patch from William Douglas)
403 * don't set $HOME in services unless requested
405 * hide PAM/TCPWrap options in fragment parser when compile time disabled
407 * when we automatically restart a service, ensure we restart its rdeps, too.
409 * allow Type=simple with PIDFile=
410 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=723942
412 * move PAM code into its own binary
414 * logind: spawn user@..service on login
416 * logind: non-local X11 server handling

419 in Avahi, RPC and other socket registration services.
421 * make sure systemd-ask-password-wall does not shutdown systemd-ask-password-console too early
423 * readahead: use BTRFS_IOC_DEFRAG_RANGE instead of BTRFS_IOC_DEFRAG ioctl, with START_IO
425 * readahead: check whether a btrfs volume includes ssd by checking mount flag "ssd"
427 * support sd_notify() style notification when reload begins (RELOADING=1), reload is finished (READY=1), and add ReloadSignal= then to use in combination
429 * support sd_notify() style notification when shutting down, to make auto-exit bus services work (STOPPING=1)
431 * verify that the AF_UNIX sockets of a service in the fs still exist
432 when we start a service in order to avoid confusion when a user
433 assumes starting a service is enough to make it accessible
435 * Make it possible to set the keymap independently from the font on
436 the kernel cmdline. Right now setting one resets also the other.
438 * move nss-myhostname into systemd
440 * and a dbus call to generate target from current state
442 * drop /.readahead on bigger upgrades with yum
444 * add support for /bin/mount -s
446 * GC unreferenced jobs (such as .device jobs)
448 * write blog stories about:
449 - enabling dbus services
451 - how to make changes to sysctl and sysfs attributes
453 - how to pass throw-away units to systemd, or dynamically change properties of existing units
454 - how to integrate cgconfig and suchlike with systemd
455 - resource control in systemd
456 - testing with Harald's awesome test kit
459 * allow port=0 in .socket units
461 * move readahead files into /var (look for them with .path units?)
463 * teach dbus to activate all services it finds in /etc/systemd/services/org-*.service
465 * support systemd.mask= on the kernel command line.
467 * when key file cannot be found, read it from kbd in cryptsetup
469 * reuse mkdtemp namespace dirs in /tmp?
471 * recreate systemd's D-Bus private socket file on SIGUSR2
473 * Support --test based on current system state
475 * investigate whether the gnome pty helper should be moved into systemd, to provide cgroup support.
477 * maybe introduce ExecRestartPre=
479 * configurable jitter for timer events
481 * timer events with system resume
483 * dot output for --test showing the 'initial transaction'
485 * calendar time support in timer:
486 https://docs.google.com/document/pub?id=1bAMyFAjWLpzR3GTDYdgj5FWRMxoZiWw5zmUHEtvdHKA
488 * writable cgroups dbus properties for live changes
490 * port over to LISTEN_FDS/LISTEN_PID:
491 - rpcbind (/var/run/rpcbind.sock!) HAVEPATCH
495 - libvirtd (/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock-ro)

515 - allow disabling of fd passing when connecting a AF_UNIX connection
516 - allow disabling of UID passing for AUTH EXTERNAL
517 - always pass cred data along each message
519 * fix alsa mixer restore to not print error when no config is stored
521 * gnome-shell python script/glxinfo/is-accelerated must die
523 * make cryptsetup lower --iter-time
525 * patch kernel for xattr support in /dev, /proc/, /sys and /sys/fs/cgroup?
527 * NTP: the kernel's 11-minutes-mode syncs the system time to the RTC, but only
528 in an ~30 minutes window. It does not adjust larger differences. Find a way
529 to tell the kernel, to always do a full time sync when the RTC is in UTC and
530 we are in 11-minutes-mode. When we trust the system time to NTP we also want
533 * kernel: add device_type = "fb", "fbcon" to class "graphics"
537 * look for close() vs. close_nointr() vs. close_nointr_nofail()
539 * check for strerror(r) instead of strerror(-r)
541 * Use PR_SET_PROCTITLE_AREA if it becomes available in the kernel
543 * %m in printf() instead of strerror(errno);
547 * set_put(), hashmap_put() return values check. i.e. == 0 doesn't free()!
549 * use secure_getenv() instead of getenv() where appropriate
551 Scheduled for removal or fixing:
553 * xxxOverridable dependencies (probably: fix)
555 * support for early-boot SysV services (definitely: remove)
