3 * swap units that are activated by one name but shown in the kernel under another are semi-broken
5 * make anaconda write timeout=0 for encrypted devices
7 * service: pid file reading after reload doesn't work, since we don't reset the pid variable
9 * make sure timeouts are applied to Type=oneshot services.
11 * Dangling symlinks of .automount unit files in .wants/ directories, set up
12 automount points even when the original .automount file did not exist
13 anymore. Only the .mount unit was still around.
15 * make polkit checks async
17 * properly handle .mount unit state tracking when two mount points are stacked one on top of another on the exact same mount point.
21 * show getty in container mode, not sulogin
23 * support container_ttys=
25 * journald: make configurable "store-on-var", "store-on-run", "dont-store", "auto"
26 (store-persistent, store-volatile?)
28 * Add ConditionReadWriteFileSystem= so that systemd-sysctl doesn't get executed when /proc/sys is read-only
30 * unset container= and container_uuid= for child processes
32 * when bind mounting /etc/machine-id, do so from /run/machine-id
34 * introduce mix of BindTo and Requisite
36 * journalctl: show multiline log messages sanely, expand tabs, and show all valid utf8 messages
38 * introduce NeedsMounts= or so to create .mount dependencies automatically for a specific path
40 * add DeleteSocketsOnStop=yes|no option to socket units
42 * add shutdown inhibit API for usage by libvirt and friends
44 * journal: store euid in journal if it differs from uid
46 * support chrony in addition to ntpd in timedated
48 * journal: extend sd-journal.h logging calls to implicitly log function names/line numbers/...
50 * document crypttab(5)
52 * There's currently no way to cancel fsck (used to be possible via C-c or c on the console)
54 * hook up /dev/watchdog with main event loop for embedded, server uses
56 * when dumping cgroup contents, include main/control PID of a service, explicitly
58 * keep an eye on https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=670100
60 * D-Bus: always pass cred data along each message
62 * journal: work on https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/systemd-journal
64 * journal: allow turning off logging entirely
66 * journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the componets would fit
68 * add command to systemctl to plot dependency graph as tree (see rhbz 795365)
70 * make logind reserve tty10 or so for text logins, so that gdm never picks it up
72 * add option to sockets to avoid activation. Instead just drop packets/connections, see http://cyberelk.net/tim/2012/02/15/portreserve-systemd-solution/
74 * isolate for getty is still broken, due to logind
76 * default unix qlen is too small (10). bump sysctl? add sockopt?
78 * support units generated by a generator and placed in /run/systemd/system/; the directory is
79 currently ignored because it is empty before the generatores are executed
81 * Possibly, detect whether SysV init scripts can do reloading by looking for "echo Usage:" lines
83 * figure out whether we should leave dbus around during shutdown
85 * add interface to allow immediate rotation of the journal, and even flushing.
87 * dbus: in fedora, make the machine a symlink to /etc/machine-id
89 * journald: reuse XZ context
91 * logind: add equivalent to sd_pid_get_owner_uid() to the D-Bus API
93 * write RPM spec macros for presets
95 * journal: write man pages for API
97 * journal: OR matches are borked
99 * journal: extend hash tables as we go
101 * journal: API for looking for retrieving "all values of this field"
103 * journal: deal nicely with byte-by-byte copied files, especially regards header
105 * journal: local deserializer of export mode, http server
107 * journal: message catalog
109 * journal: forward-secure signatures
111 * document the exit codes when services fail before they are exec()ed
113 * rework namespace support, don't use pivot_root, and mount things after creating the namespace, not before
115 * systemctl journal command
117 * journalctl: --cursor support, priority filtering
119 * systemctl status: show coredumps
121 * systemctl status: show whether journal was rotated since service started
123 * save coredump in Windows/Mozilla minidump format
125 * support crash reporting operation modes (https://live.gnome.org/GnomeOS/Design/Whiteboards/ProblemReporting)
127 * journal: allow per-entry control on /var vs. /run (think incognito browser mode)
129 * clean up session cgroups that remain after logout (think sshd), but eventually run empty
131 * support "systemctl stop foobar@.service" to stop all units matching a certain template
135 * logind: allow showing logout dialog from system
137 * document that %% can be used to write % in a string that is specifier extended
139 * when an instanced service exits, remove its parent cgroup too if possible.
141 * Make libselinux, libattr, libcap, libdl dependencies only of the tools which actually need them.
143 * as Tom Gundersen pointed out there's a always a dep loop if people use crypto file systems with random keys
145 * unset container=, container_uuid= in PID1?
147 * automatically escape unit names passed on the service (i.e. think "systemctl start serial-getty.service@serial/by-path/jshdfjsdfhkjh" being automatically escaped as necessary.
149 * if we can not get user quota for tmpfs, mount a separate tmpfs instance
150 for every user in /run/user/$USER with a configured maximum size
152 * default to actual 32bit PIDs, via /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max
154 * add an option to make mounts private/shareable and so on, enable this for root by default
156 * be able to specify a forced restart of service A where service B depends on, in case B
157 needs to be auto-respawned?
159 * Something is wrong with symlink handling of "autovt@.service" in "systemctl list-unit-files"
161 * when a bus name of a service disappears from the bus make sure to queue further activation requests
163 * something like ConditionExec= or ExecStartPre= without failure state
165 * tmpfiles: apply "x" on "D" too (see patch from William Douglas)
167 * don't set $HOME in services unless requested
169 * hide PAM/TCPWrap options in fragment parser when compile time disabled
171 * when we automatically restart a service, ensure we restart its rdeps, too.
173 * allow Type=simple with PIDFile=
174 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=723942
176 * move PAM code into its own binary
178 * warn if the user stops a service but not its associated socket
180 * logind: spawn user@..service on login
182 * logind: non-local X11 server handling
184 * implement Register= switch in .socket units to enable registration
185 in Avahi, RPC and other socket registration services.
187 * make sure systemd-ask-password-wall does not shutdown systemd-ask-password-console too early
189 * readahead: use BTRFS_IOC_DEFRAG_RANGE instead of BTRFS_IOC_DEFRAG ioctl, with START_IO
191 * readahead: check whether a btrfs volume includes ssd by checking mount flag "ssd"
193 * support sd_notify() style notification when reload begins (RELOADING=1), reload is finished (READY=1), and add ReloadSignal= then to use in combination
195 * support sd_notify() style notification when shutting down, to make auto-exit bus services work (STOPPING=1)
197 * verify that the AF_UNIX sockets of a service in the fs still exist
198 when we start a service in order to avoid confusion when a user
199 assumes starting a service is enough to make it accessible
201 * Make it possible to set the keymap independently from the font on
202 the kernel cmdline. Right now setting one resets also the other.
204 * move nss-myhostname into systemd
206 * and a dbus call to generate target from current state
208 * drop /.readahead on bigger upgrades with yum
210 * add inode nr check to readahead to suppress preloading changed files
212 * add support for /bin/mount -s
214 * GC unreferenced jobs (such as .device jobs)
216 * when failing to start a service due to ratelimiting, try again later, if restart=always is set
218 * write blog stories about:
219 - enabling dbus services
221 - how to make changes to sysctl and sysfs attributes
223 - how to pass throw-away units to systemd, or dynamically change properties of existing units
224 - how to integrate cgconfig and suchlike with systemd
225 - resource control in systemd
227 * allow port=0 in .socket units
229 * move readahead files into /var, look for them with .path units
231 * teach dbus to activate all services it finds in /etc/systemd/services/org-*.service
233 * support systemd.mask= on the kernel command line.
235 * when key file cannot be found, read it from kbd in cryptsetup
237 * reuse mkdtemp namespace dirs in /tmp?
239 * recreate systemd's D-Bus private socket file on SIGUSR2
241 * Support --test based on current system state
243 * investigate whether the gnome pty helper should be moved into systemd, to provide cgroup support.
245 * maybe introduce ExecRestartPre=
247 * configurable jitter for timer events
249 * timer events with system resume
251 * timer events on calendar time
253 * dot output for --test showing the 'initial transaction'
255 * calendar time support in timer, iCalendar semantics for the timer stuff (RFC2445)

258 * implicitly import "defaults" settings file into all types
259 * exec settings override
260 * writable cgroups dbus properties for live changes
262 * read config fragments for all units from /lib/systemd/system/foobar.service.d/ to override/extend specific settings
264 * port over to LISTEN_FDS/LISTEN_PID:
265 - rpcbind (/var/run/rpcbind.sock!) HAVEPATCH
269 - libvirtd (/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock-ro)
270 - bluetoothd (/var/run/sdp! @/org/bluez/audio!)
273 * auditd service files
275 * fingerprint.target, wireless.target, gps.target, netdevice.target
277 * io priority during initialization
279 * systemctl list-jobs - show dependencies
281 * add systemctl switch to dump transaction without executing it
283 * suspend, resume support?
285 * drop cap bounding set in readahead and other services
290 - get process transport into dbus for systemctl -P/-H (PENDING)
292 - natively watch for dbus-*.service symlinks (PENDING)
293 - allow specification of socket mode/umask when allocating DBusServer
294 - allow disabling of fd passing when connecting a AF_UNIX connection
295 - allow disabling of UID passing for AUTH EXTERNAL
298 PR_SET_CHILD_REAPER patch: https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/7/28/426
299 (patch in linux-next, on the way to the next kernel)
301 * fix alsa mixer restore to not print error when no config is stored
303 * gnome-shell python script/glxinfo/is-accelerated must die
305 * make cryptsetup lower --iter-time
307 * patch kernel for xattr support in /dev, /proc/, /sys and /sys/fs/cgroup?
309 * NTP: the kernel's 11-minutes-mode syncs the system time to the RTC, but only
310 in an ~30 minutes window. It does not adjust larger differences. Find a way
311 to tell the kernel, to always do a full time sync when the RTC is in UTC and
312 we are in 11-minutes-mode. When we trust the system time to NTP we also want
315 * patch kernel for cpu feature modalias for autoloading aes/kvm/...
316 (patches in linux-next, on the way to the next kernel)
318 * kernel: add device_type = "fb", "fbcon" to class "graphics"
322 * look for close() vs. close_nointr() vs. close_nointr_nofail()
324 * check for strerror(r) instead of strerror(-r)
326 * Use PR_SET_PROCTITLE_AREA if it becomes available in the kernel
328 * %m in printf() instead of strerror();
332 * set_put(), hashmap_put() return values check. i.e. == 0 doesn't free()!
