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 * don't show cgroup in "systemctl status" if empty/non-existant, especially for foreign .mount units
24 * timedated: export boolean that clarifies whether NTP is even available
26 * timedated: refuse time changes when NTP is on
28 * clean up date formatting and parsing so that all absolute/relative timestamps we format can also be parsed
30 * introduce hybrid-sleep.target
32 * _SOURCE_MONOTONIC_TIMESTAMP entries from the kernel seem to be off by 1000000
34 * document unit_name_mangle()
36 * add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
38 * introduce generic AUGMENT_PID=, AUGMENT_DEVICE= fields
40 * deal with sendmail/postfix exclusivity
42 * systemctl enable: improve the success messages (i.e. more human readable, less shell-like)
44 * systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into doesn't exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
46 * on shutdown: move utmp, wall, audit logic all into PID 1 itself, get rid of systemd-update-utmp-runlevel
48 * add "provisioning" instructions to setup an empty /etc + /var
49 - used to setup a new container from a shared /usr
50 - superset of tmpfiles model
51 - instructions shipped by packages and stored in /usr/lib/
52 - compose /etc/passwd and /etc/group, copy files
53 - able to create uid + gid used by packages, for file ownership
55 * make repeated alt-ctrl-del presses printing a dump, or even force a reboot without
56 waiting for the timeout
58 * high level net_prio setting in execution context
60 * Introduce journalctl -b <nr> to show journal messages of a previous boot
62 * hostnamed: before returning information from /etc/machine-info.conf check the modification data and reread. Similar for localed, ...
64 * currently x-systemd.timeout is lost in the initrd, since crypttab is copied into dracut, but fstab isn't
66 * WorkingDirectory: support env var replacements like in ExecStart= so that people can use $HOME
68 * refuse boot if /etc/machine-id is not useful
70 * nspawn: consider changing users for -u with su, so that NSS resolving works correctly
72 * nspawn: implement personality changes a la linux32(8)
74 * nspawn: reset all aux groups
76 * cryptsetup-generator: warn if the password files are world-readable
78 * cryptsetup-generator: add RequiresMountsFor= to cryptseup service files referencing a file, similar for devices
80 * cryptsetup-generator: allow specification of passwords in crypttab itself
82 * document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fileds in
83 [Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
85 * need to update LGPL2.1 text to newest version (with updated FSF address)
87 * allow users from "wheel" to start/stop services
89 * systemctl: when powering down/suspending check for inhibitors, and warn.
91 * instantiated [Install] for target units
92 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54377
94 * support *static* (/run) hibernate inhibitors. All rpm -i actions should completely prevent any
95 sort of hibernate action until the next reboot. If the kernel or any other base tool is replaced
96 by rpm, the resume path might fail, the for resume needed kernel might even be uninstalled, and
97 the whole situation leads directly to data loss.
99 * move debug shell to tty6 and make sure this doesn't break the gettys on tty6
101 * move cryptsetup key caching into kernel keyctl?
102 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54982
104 * make nspawn work without terminal
106 * hw watchdog: optionally try to use the preset watchdog timeout instead of always overriding it
107 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54712
109 * after deserializing sockets in socket.c we should reapply sockopts and things
111 * make timer units go away after they elapsed
113 * http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2012-September/006502.html
115 * come up with a nice way to write queue/read_ahead_kb for a block device without interfering with readahead
117 * journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
119 * move PID 1 segfaults to /var/lib/systemd/coredump?
121 * Document word splitting syntax for ExecStart= and friends
123 * create /sbin/init symlinks from the build system
125 * Query Paul Moore about relabelling socket fds while they are open
127 * move keymaps to /usr/lib/... rather than /usr/lib/udev/...
129 * journald: check whether it is OK if the client can still modify delivered journal entries
131 * json: properly serialize multiple fields with the same name per entry
133 * journal live copy, based on libneon (client) and libmicrohttpd
135 * document in wiki json serialization
137 * system-wide seccomp filter
139 * ability to pass fds into systemd
141 * system.conf should have controls for cgroups
143 * bind mount read-only the cgroup tree higher than than nspawn
145 * currently system services appear not to generate core dumps...
147 * allow writing multiple conditions in unit files on one line
149 * 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
151 * explore multiple service instances per listening socket idea
153 * 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.
155 * shutdown: don't read-only mount anything when running in container
157 * nspawn: --read-only is not applied recursively to submounts
159 * MountFlags=shared acts as MountFlags=slave right now.
161 * ReadOnlyDirectories= is not applied recursively to submounts
163 * drop PID 1 reloading, only do reexecing (difficult: Reload()
164 currently is properly synchronous, Reexec() is weird, because we
165 can't delay the response properly until we are back, so instead of
166 being properly synchronous we just keep open the fd and close it
167 when done. That means clients don't get a succesful method reply,
168 but much rather a disconnect on success.
170 * document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
172 * remember which condition failed for services, not just the fact that something failed
174 * use opterr = 0 for all getopt tools
176 * properly handle loop back mounts via fstab, especially regards to fsck/passno
178 * allow services with no ExecStart= but with an ExecStop=
180 * add proper journal support to "systemctl --user status ..."
182 * add _SYSTEMD_USER_UNIT= field to journal entries
184 * dracut-shutdown needs to be ordered before unmounting /boot
186 * initialize the hostname from the fs label of /, if /etc/hostname does not exist?
188 * rename "userspace" to "core-os"
190 * systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
192 * syscall filter: add knowledge about compat syscalls
194 * syscall filter: don't enforce no new privs?
196 * syscall filter: option to return EPERM rather than SIGSYS?
198 * syscall filter: port to libseccomp
200 * logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
202 * systemd-analyze post-boot is broken for initrd
204 * man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
206 * .device aliases need to be implemented with the "following" logic, probably.
208 * refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
210 * load-fragment: when loading a unit file via a chain of symlinks
211 verify that it isn't masked via any of the names traversed.
213 * journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
218 * introduce Type=pid-file
220 * maybe allow services with ExecStop= set, but no ExecStart=?
222 * efi: implement /forcefsck as uefi variables thus not requiring file system altering to trigger a file system check
224 * efi: honour language efi variables for default language selection
226 * efi: honour timezone efi variables for default timezone selection
228 * efi: automatically mount EFI partition to /boot if no such entry exists in /etc/fstab and /boot is empty
229 gummiboot exports the EFI system partion (ESP) device:
230 /sys/firmware/efi/vars/LoaderDeviceIdentifier-4a67b082-0a4c-41cf-b6c7-440b29bb8c4f/data
231 Acpi(PNP0A03,0)/Pci(1F|2)/?/HD(Part1,Sig1FCBC57F-4BFC-4C2B-91A3-9C84FBCD9AF1)
232 '/' is the separator for the device path list
233 HD(Part1,Sig1FCBC57F-4BFC-4C2B-91A3-9C84FBCD9AF1) contains the GPT UUID of the ESP
235 * read the bootloader performance data (raw TSC) in systemd-analyze
236 /sys/firmware/efi/vars/LoaderTicksExec-4a67b082-0a4c-41cf-b6c7-440b29bb8c4f/data
238 /sys/firmware/efi/vars/LoaderTicksInit-4a67b082-0a4c-41cf-b6c7-440b29bb8c4f/data
240 /sys/firmware/efi/vars/LoaderTicksStartMenu-4a67b082-0a4c-41cf-b6c7-440b29bb8c4f/data
241 (only set if the menu was active)
243 * change Requires=basic.target to RequisiteOverride=basic.target
245 * support rd.luks.allow-discards= kernel cmdline params in cryptsetup generator
247 * nspawn: make use of device cgroup contrller by default
249 * drop accountsservice's StandardOutput=syslog and Type=dbus fields
251 * when breaking cycles drop sysv services first, then services from /run, then from /etc, then from /usr
253 * readahead: when bumping /sys readahead variable save mtime and compare later to detect changes
255 * (attempt to) make Debianites happy:
256 - implement .d/ auto includes for unit files
257 - add syntax to reset ExecStart= lists (and similar)
259 * move passno parsing to fstab generator
261 * improve !/proc/*/loginuid situation: make /proc/*/loginuid less dependent on CONFIG_AUDIT,
262 or use the users cgroup information when /proc/*/loginuid is not available.
264 * pam_systemd: try to get old session id from cgroup, if audit sessionid cannot be determined
266 * pam: when leaving a session explicitly exclude the ReleaseSession() caller process from the killing spree
268 * maybe introduce ~/.config/locale.conf and apply it within PAM
270 * readahead: make use of EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT, as used by http://e4rat.sourceforge.net/
272 * automount: implement expire
274 * logind: auto-suspend, auto-shutdown:
275 IdleAction=(none|suspend|opportunistic|hibernate|poweroff)
277 SessionIdleMode=(explicit|ignore|login)
278 ForceShutdown=(yes|no)
280 * services which create their own subcgroups break cgroup-empty notification (needs to be fixed in the kernel)
282 * don't delete /tmp/systemd-namespace-* before a process is gone down
284 * vconsole: implement setterm -store -foreground xxx --background zzz
286 * ExecOnFailure=/usr/bin/foo
288 * fedora: make sshd and pam_loginuid work in nspawn containers
290 * fix utmp for console logins in containers
292 * Add pretty name for seats in logind
294 * ConditionSecurity= should learn about IMA
296 * Auke: merge Auke's bootchart
300 * udev systemd unify:
301 - strpcpy(), strpcpyl(), strscpy(), strscpyl()
302 - utf8 validator code
303 - now() vs. now_usec()
305 * udev: remove network interface renaming, sleep and retry logic, we do
306 no support renaming of interfaces in the conflicting kernel
309 * udev: find a way to tell udev to not cancel firmware requests when running in initramfs
311 * udev: scsi_id -> sg3_utils -> kill scsi_id
313 * udev: add trigger --subsystem-match=usb/usb_device device
315 * allow configuration of console width/height in vconsole.conf
317 * cleanup syslog 'priority' vs. 'level' wording
319 * dbus upstream still refers to dbus.target and shouldn't
321 * 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
323 * support container_ttys=
325 * introduce mix of BindTo and Requisite
327 * journalctl: show multiline log messages sanely, expand tabs, and show all valid utf8 messages
329 * add DeleteSocketsOnStop=yes|no option to socket units
331 * journal: store euid in journal if it differs from uid
333 * There's currently no way to cancel fsck (used to be possible via C-c or c on the console)
335 * journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the componets would fit
337 * add command to systemctl to plot dependency graph as tree (see rhbz 795365)
339 * add option to sockets to avoid activation. Instead just drop packets/connections, see http://cyberelk.net/tim/2012/02/15/portreserve-systemd-solution/
341 * default unix qlen is too small (10). bump sysctl? add sockopt?
343 * figure out whether we should leave dbus around during shutdown
345 * dbus: in fedora, make the machine a symlink to /etc/machine-id
347 * dbus: move dbus to early boot

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

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

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