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 * introduce generic AUGMENT_PID=, AUGMENT_DEVICE= fields
24 * deal with sendmail/postfix exclusivity
26 * systemctl enable: improve the success messages
28 * systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into doesn't exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
30 * on shutdown: move utmp, wall, audit logic all into PID 1 itsel
32 * add "provisioning" instructions to setup an empty /etc + /var
33 - used to setup a new container from a shared /usr
34 - superset of tmpfiles model
35 - instructions shipped by packages and stored in /usr/lib/
36 - compose /etc/passwd and /etc/group, copy files
37 - able to create uid + gid used by packages, for file ownership
39 * make repeated alt-ctrl-del presses printing a dump, or even force a reboot without
40 waiting for the timeout
42 * make sure that the journal output from the initrd is always merged into the journalctl output even if -m is not passed.
44 * add time seeks to journalctl
46 * high level net_prio setting in execution context
48 * Introduce journalctl -b <nr> to show journal messages of a previous boot
50 * systemctl should be able to show log messages from certain privileged 3rd party daemons such as setroubleshoot
52 * hostnamed: before returning information from /etc/machine-info.conf check the modification data and reread. Similar for localed, ...
54 * currently x-systemd.timeout is lost in the initrd, since crypttab is copied into dracut, but fstab isn't
56 * WorkingDirectory: support env var replacements like in ExecStart= so that people can use $HOME
58 * refuse boot if /etc/machine-id is not useful
60 * nspawn: consider changing users for -u with su, so that NSS resolving works correctly
62 * nspawn: implement personality changes a la linux32(8)
64 * nspawn: reset all aux groups
66 * cryptsetup-generator: warn if the password files are world-readable
68 * cryptsetup-generator: add RequiresMountsFor= to cryptseup service files referencing a file, similar for devices
70 * cryptsetup-generator: allow specification of passwords in crypttab itself
72 * document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fileds in
73 [Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
75 * need to update LGPL2.1 text to newest version (with updated FSF address)
77 * allow users from "wheel" to start/stop services
79 * systemctl: when powering down/suspending check for inhibitors, and warn.
81 * instantiated [Install] for target units
82 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54377
84 * support *static* (/run) hibernate inhibitors. All rpm -i actions should completely prevent any
85 sort of hibernate action until the next reboot. If the kernel or any other base tool is replaced
86 by rpm, the resume path might fail, the for resume needed kernel might even be uninstalled, and
87 the whole situation leads directly to data loss.
89 * move debug shell to tty6 and make sure this doesn't break the gettys on tty6
91 * move cryptsetup key caching into kernel keyctl?
92 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54982
94 * make nspawn work without terminal
96 * hw watchdog: optionally try to use the preset watchdog timeout instead of always overriding it
97 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54712
99 * after deserializing sockets in socket.c we should reapply sockopts and things
101 * does vasprintf advance the struct vaargs? http://pastie.org/pastes/4712773/text
103 * do shutdown audit/utmp msgs inside of PID 1, get rid of systemd-update-utmp-runlevel
105 * make timer units go away after they elapsed
107 * http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2012-September/006502.html
109 * come up with a nice way to write queue/read_ahead_kb for a block device without interfering with readahead
111 * journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
113 * move PID 1 segfaults to /var/lib/systemd/coredump?
115 * Document word splitting syntax for ExecStart= and friends
117 * when writing journal entries order field items by their address to improve speed on rotating media
119 * create /sbin/init symlinks from the build system
121 * Query Paul Moore about relabelling socket fds while they are open
123 * move keymaps to /usr/lib/... rather than /usr/lib/udev/...
125 * journald: check whether it is OK if the client can still modify delivered journal entries
129 * json: properly serialize multiple fields with the same name per entry
131 * journal live copy, based on libneon (client) and libmicrohttpd
133 * document in wiki json serialization
135 * system-wide seccomp filter
137 * ability to pass fds into systemd
139 * system.conf should have controls for cgroups
141 * bind mount read-only the cgroup tree higher than than nspawn
143 * currently system services appear not to generate core dumps...
145 * wall messages for shutdown should move to logind
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 * maybe make systemd-detect-virt suid? or use fscaps?
157 * shutdown: don't read-only mount anything when running in container
159 * nspawn: --read-only is not applied recursively to submounts
161 * MountFlags=shared acts as MountFlags=slave right now.
163 * ReadOnlyDirectories= is not applied recursively to submounts
165 * drop PID 1 reloading, only do reexecing (difficult: Reload()
166 currently is properly synchronous, Reexec() is weird, because we
167 can't delay the response properly until we are back, so instead of
168 being properly synchronous we just keep open the fd and close it
169 when done. That means clients don't get a succesful method reply,
170 but much rather a disconnect on success.
172 * document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
174 * remember which condition failed for services, not just the fact that something failed
176 * use opterr = 0 for all getopt tools
178 * properly handle loop back mounts via fstab, especially regards to fsck/passno
180 * allow services with no ExecStart= but with an ExecStop=
182 * add proper journal support to "systemctl --user status ..."
184 * add _SYSTEMD_USER_UNIT= field to journal entries
186 * dracut-shutdown needs to be ordered before unmounting /boot
188 * initialize the hostname from the fs label of /, if /etc/hostname does not exist?
190 * install README to /etc/rc.d/init.d (if support for that is enabled) helping people who use "ls" there to figure out which services exist.
192 * rename "userspace" to "core-os"
194 * systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
196 * syscall filter: add knowledge about compat syscalls
198 * syscall filter: don't enforce no new privs?
200 * syscall filter: option to return EPERM rather than SIGSYS?
202 * syscall filter: port to libseccomp
204 * logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
206 * systemd-analyze post-boot is broken for initrd
208 * man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
210 * .device aliases need to be implemented with the "following" logic, probably.
212 * refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
214 * load-fragment: when loading a unit file via a chain of symlinks
215 verify that it isn't masked via any of the names traversed.
217 * journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
222 * introduce Type=pid-file
224 * systemctl list-unit-files appears to be broken for symlinked units in /usr/lib
226 * maybe allow services with ExecStop= set, but no ExecStart=?
228 * efi: implement /forcefsck as uefi variables thus not requiring file system altering to trigger a file system check
230 * efi: honour language efi variables for default language selection
232 * efi: honour timezone efi variables for default timezone selection
234 * efi: automatically mount EFI partition to /boot if no such entry exists in /etc/fstab and /boot is empty
235 gummiboot exports the EFI system partion (ESP) device:
236 /sys/firmware/efi/vars/LoaderDeviceIdentifier-4a67b082-0a4c-41cf-b6c7-440b29bb8c4f/data
237 Acpi(PNP0A03,0)/Pci(1F|2)/?/HD(Part1,Sig1FCBC57F-4BFC-4C2B-91A3-9C84FBCD9AF1)
238 '/' is the separator for the device path list
239 HD(Part1,Sig1FCBC57F-4BFC-4C2B-91A3-9C84FBCD9AF1) contains the GPT UUID of the ESP
241 * read the bootloader performance data (raw TSC) in systemd-analyze
242 /sys/firmware/efi/vars/LoaderTicksExec-4a67b082-0a4c-41cf-b6c7-440b29bb8c4f/data
244 /sys/firmware/efi/vars/LoaderTicksInit-4a67b082-0a4c-41cf-b6c7-440b29bb8c4f/data
246 /sys/firmware/efi/vars/LoaderTicksStartMenu-4a67b082-0a4c-41cf-b6c7-440b29bb8c4f/data
247 (only set if the menu was active)
249 * change Requires=basic.target to RequisiteOverride=basic.target
251 * support rd.luks.allow-discards= kernel cmdline params in cryptsetup generator
253 * systemctl: when stopping a service which has triggres and warning about it actually check the TriggeredBy= deps fields
255 * nspawn: make use of device cgroup contrller by default
257 * drop accountsservice's StandardOutput=syslog and Type=dbus fields
259 * when breaking cycles drop sysv services first, then services from /run, then from /etc, then from /usr
261 * readahead: when bumping /sys readahead variable save mtime and compare later to detect changes
263 * (attempt to) make Debianites happy:
264 - implement .d/ auto includes for unit files
265 - add syntax to reset ExecStart= lists (and similar)
267 * move passno parsing to fstab generator
269 * improve !/proc/*/loginuid situation: make /proc/*/loginuid less dependent on CONFIG_AUDIT,
270 or use the users cgroup information when /proc/*/loginuid is not available.
272 * pam_systemd: try to get old session id from cgroup, if audit sessionid cannot be determined
274 * pam: when leaving a session explicitly exclude the ReleaseSession() caller process from the killing spree
276 * maybe introduce ~/.config/locale.conf and apply it within PAM
278 * readahead: make use of EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT, as used by http://e4rat.sourceforge.net/
280 * automount: implement expire
282 * logind: auto-suspend, auto-shutdown:
283 IdleAction=(none|suspend|opportunistic|hibernate|poweroff)
285 SessionIdleMode=(explicit|ignore|login)
286 ForceShutdown=(yes|no)
288 * services which create their own subcgroups break cgroup-empty notification (needs to be fixed in the kernel)
290 * don't delete /tmp/systemd-namespace-* before a process is gone down
292 * vconsole: implement setterm -store -foreground xxx --background zzz

296 * fedora: make sshd and pam_loginuid work in nspawn containers
298 * fix utmp for console logins in containers
300 * Add pretty name for seats in logind
302 * ConditionSecurity= should learn about IMA
304 * Auke: merge Auke's bootchart
308 * udev systemd unify:
309 - strpcpy(), strpcpyl(), strscpy(), strscpyl()
310 - utf8 validator code
311 - now() vs. now_usec()
313 * udev: remove network interface renaming, sleep and retry logic, we do
314 no support renaming of interfaces in the conflicting kernel
317 * udev: find a way to tell udev to not cancel firmware requests when running in initramfs
319 * udev: scsi_id -> sg3_utils -> kill scsi_id
321 * udev: add trigger --subsystem-match=usb/usb_device device
323 * allow configuration of console width/height in vconsole.conf
325 * cleanup syslog 'priority' vs. 'level' wording
327 * dbus upstream still refers to dbus.target and shouldn't
329 * 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
331 * support container_ttys=
333 * introduce mix of BindTo and Requisite
335 * journalctl: show multiline log messages sanely, expand tabs, and show all valid utf8 messages
337 * add DeleteSocketsOnStop=yes|no option to socket units
339 * journal: store euid in journal if it differs from uid
341 * There's currently no way to cancel fsck (used to be possible via C-c or c on the console)
343 * journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the componets would fit
345 * add command to systemctl to plot dependency graph as tree (see rhbz 795365)
347 * add option to sockets to avoid activation. Instead just drop packets/connections, see http://cyberelk.net/tim/2012/02/15/portreserve-systemd-solution/
349 * default unix qlen is too small (10). bump sysctl? add sockopt?
351 * Possibly, detect whether SysV init scripts can do reloading by looking for "echo Usage:" lines
353 * figure out whether we should leave dbus around during shutdown
355 * dbus: in fedora, make the machine a symlink to /etc/machine-id
357 * dbus: move dbus to early boot
359 * journald: reuse XZ context
361 * logind: add equivalent to sd_pid_get_owner_uid() to the D-Bus API
363 * journal: API for looking for retrieving "all values of this field"
365 * journal: deal nicely with byte-by-byte copied files, especially regards header
367 * journal: local deserializer of export mode, http server

383 * support "systemctl stop foobar@.service" to stop all units matching a certain template
385 * logind: allow showing logout dialog from system
387 * document that %% can be used to write % in a string that is specifier extended
389 * when an instanced service exits, remove its parent cgroup too if possible.
391 * default to actual 32bit PIDs, via /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max
393 * be able to specify a forced restart of service A where service B depends on, in case B
394 needs to be auto-respawned?
396 * Something is wrong with symlink handling of "autovt@.service" in "systemctl list-unit-files"
398 * when a bus name of a service disappears from the bus make sure to queue further activation requests
400 * something like ConditionExec= or ExecStartPre= without failure state
402 * tmpfiles: apply "x" on "D" too (see patch from William Douglas)
404 * don't set $HOME in services unless requested
406 * hide PAM/TCPWrap options in fragment parser when compile time disabled
408 * when we automatically restart a service, ensure we restart its rdeps, too.
410 * allow Type=simple with PIDFile=
411 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=723942
413 * move PAM code into its own binary
415 * warn if the user stops a service but not its associated socket
417 * logind: spawn user@..service on login
419 * logind: non-local X11 server handling
421 * implement Register= switch in .socket units to enable registration
422 in Avahi, RPC and other socket registration services.
424 * make sure systemd-ask-password-wall does not shutdown systemd-ask-password-console too early
426 * readahead: use BTRFS_IOC_DEFRAG_RANGE instead of BTRFS_IOC_DEFRAG ioctl, with START_IO
428 * readahead: check whether a btrfs volume includes ssd by checking mount flag "ssd"
430 * support sd_notify() style notification when reload begins (RELOADING=1), reload is finished (READY=1), and add ReloadSignal= then to use in combination
432 * support sd_notify() style notification when shutting down, to make auto-exit bus services work (STOPPING=1)
434 * verify that the AF_UNIX sockets of a service in the fs still exist
435 when we start a service in order to avoid confusion when a user
436 assumes starting a service is enough to make it accessible
438 * Make it possible to set the keymap independently from the font on
439 the kernel cmdline. Right now setting one resets also the other.
441 * move nss-myhostname into systemd
443 * and a dbus call to generate target from current state
445 * drop /.readahead on bigger upgrades with yum
447 * add support for /bin/mount -s
449 * GC unreferenced jobs (such as .device jobs)
451 * write blog stories about:
452 - enabling dbus services
454 - how to make changes to sysctl and sysfs attributes
456 - how to pass throw-away units to systemd, or dynamically change properties of existing units
457 - how to integrate cgconfig and suchlike with systemd
458 - resource control in systemd
460 - testing with Harald's awesome test kit
463 * allow port=0 in .socket units
465 * move readahead files into /var, look for them with .path units
467 * teach dbus to activate all services it finds in /etc/systemd/services/org-*.service
469 * support systemd.mask= on the kernel command line.
471 * when key file cannot be found, read it from kbd in cryptsetup
473 * reuse mkdtemp namespace dirs in /tmp?
475 * recreate systemd's D-Bus private socket file on SIGUSR2
477 * Support --test based on current system state
479 * investigate whether the gnome pty helper should be moved into systemd, to provide cgroup support.
481 * maybe introduce ExecRestartPre=
483 * configurable jitter for timer events
485 * timer events with system resume
487 * dot output for --test showing the 'initial transaction'
489 * calendar time support in timer:
490 https://docs.google.com/document/pub?id=1bAMyFAjWLpzR3GTDYdgj5FWRMxoZiWw5zmUHEtvdHKA
492 * implicitly import "defaults" settings file into all types
494 * writable cgroups dbus properties for live changes
496 * read config fragments for all units from /lib/systemd/system/foobar.service.d/ to override/extend specific settings
498 * port over to LISTEN_FDS/LISTEN_PID:
499 - rpcbind (/var/run/rpcbind.sock!) HAVEPATCH
503 - libvirtd (/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock-ro)

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