3 * swap units that are activated by one name but shown in the kernel under another are semi-broken
5 * NM should pull in network.target (PENDING)
6 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=692008
8 * make anaconda write timeout=0 for encrypted devices
10 * service: pid file reading after reload doesn't work, since we don't reset the pid variable
12 * make sure timeouts are applied to Type=oneshot services.
14 * Dangling symlinks of .automount unit files in .wants/ directories, set up
15 automount points even when the original .automount file did not exist
16 anymore. Only the .mount unit was still around.
18 * make polkit checks async
20 * properly handle .mount unit state tracking when two mount points are stacked one on top of another on the exact same mount point.
24 * man: for some reason the HTML versions of the man pages are currently not being packaged
26 * prefer /etc over /run?
28 * when dumping cgroup contents, include main/control PID of a service, explicitly
30 * keep an eye on https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=670100
32 * D-Bus: always pass cred data along each message
34 * journal: work on https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/systemd-journal
36 * journal: allow turning off logging entirely
38 * journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the componets would fit
40 * add command to systemctl to plot dependency graph as tree (see rhbz 795365)
42 * make logind reserve tty10 or so for text logins, so that gdm never picks it up
44 * add option to sockets to avoid activation. Instead just drop packets/connections, see http://cyberelk.net/tim/2012/02/15/portreserve-systemd-solution/
46 * isolate for getty is still broken, due to logind
48 * default unix qlen is too small (10). bump sysctl? add sockopt?
50 * support units generated by a generator and placed in /run/systemd/system/; the directory is
51 currently ignored because it is empty before the generatores are executed
53 * Possibly, detect whether SysV init scripts can do reloading by looking for "echo Usage:" lines
55 * figure out whether we should leave dbus around during shutdown
57 * support closing all fds via RLIMIT_NOFILE instead of /proc, in order to make chroot stuff work.
59 * add interface to allow immediate rotation of the journal, and even flushing.
61 * don't log coredumps of PID 1 into the journal
63 * if a journal file is corrupt, rotate it and create a new one
65 * dbus: in fedora, make the machine a symlink to /etc/machine-id
67 * journald: reuse XZ context
69 * logind: add equivalent to sd_pid_get_owner_uid() to the D-Bus API
71 * write RPM spec macros for presets
73 * write man pages for systemd-cat
75 * journal: write man pages for API
77 * journal: OR matches are borked
79 * journal: extend hash tables as we go
81 * journal: API for looking for retrieving "all values of this field"
83 * journal: deal nicely with byte-by-byte copied files, especially regards header
85 * journal: local deserializer of export mode, http server
87 * journal: message catalog
89 * journal: forward-secure signatures
91 * document the exit codes when services fail before they are exec()ed
93 * rework namespace support, don't use pivot_root, and mount things after creating the namespace, not before
95 * systemctl journal command
97 * journalctl: --cursor support, priority filtering
99 * systemctl status: show coredumps
101 * systemctl status: show whether journal was rotated since service started
103 * save coredump in Windows/Mozilla minidump format
105 * support crash reporting operation modes (https://live.gnome.org/GnomeOS/Design/Whiteboards/ProblemReporting)
107 * journal: allow per-entry control on /var vs. /run (think incognito browser mode)
109 * clean up session cgroups that remain after logout (think sshd), but eventually run empty
111 * support "systemctl stop foobar@.service" to stop all units matching a certain template
115 * logind: allow showing logout dialog from system
117 * document that %% can be used to write % in a string that is specifier extended
119 * check utf8 everywhere
121 * when an instanced service exits, remove its parent cgroup too if possible.
123 * Make libselinux, libattr, libcap, libdl dependencies only of the tools which actually need them.
125 * as Tom Gundersen pointed out there's a always a dep loop if people use crypto file systems with random keys
127 * unset container= in PID1?
129 * 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.
131 * if we can not get user quota for tmpfs, mount a separate tmpfs instance
132 for every user in /run/user/$USER with a configured maximum size
134 * default to actual 32bit PIDs, via /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max
136 * add an option to make mounts private/shareable and so on, enable this for root by default
138 * be able to specify a forced restart of service A where service B depends on, in case B
139 needs to be auto-respawned?
141 * Something is wrong with symlink handling of "autovt@.service" in "systemctl list-unit-files"
143 * when a bus name of a service disappears from the bus make sure to queue further activation requests
145 * something like ConditionExec= or ExecStartPre= without failure state
147 * tmpfiles: apply "x" on "D" too (see patch from William Douglas)
149 * don't set $HOME in services unless requested
151 * hide PAM/TCPWrap options in fragment parser when compile time disabled
153 * when we automatically restart a service, ensure we retsart its rdeps, too.
155 * allow Type=simple with PIDFile=
156 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=723942
158 * move PAM code into its own binary
160 * warn if the user stops a service but not its associated socket
162 * logind: spawn user@..service on login
164 * logind: non-local X11 server handling
166 * implement Register= switch in .socket units to enable registration
167 in Avahi, RPC and other socket registration services.
169 * make sure systemd-ask-password-wall does not shutdown systemd-ask-password-console too early
171 * readahead: use BTRFS_IOC_DEFRAG_RANGE instead of BTRFS_IOC_DEFRAG ioctl, with START_IO
173 * readahead: check whether a btrfs volume includes ssd by checking mount flag "ssd"
175 * support sd_notify() style notification when reload begins (RELOADING=1), reload is finished (READY=1), and add ReloadSignal= then to use in combination
177 * support sd_notify() style notification when shutting down, to make auto-exit bus services work (STOPPING=1)
179 * verify that the AF_UNIX sockets of a service in the fs still exist
180 when we start a service in order to avoid confusion when a user
181 assumes starting a service is enough to make it accessible
183 * Make it possible to set the keymap independently from the font on
184 the kernel cmdline. Right now setting one resets also the other.
186 * move nss-myhostname into systemd
188 * and a dbus call to generate target from current state
190 * drop /.readahead on bigger upgrades with yum
192 * add inode nr check to readahead to suppress preloading changed files
194 * add support for /bin/mount -s
196 * GC unreferenced jobs (such as .device jobs)
198 * when failing to start a service due to ratelimiting, try again later, if restart=always is set
200 * write blog stories about:
201 - enabling dbus services
203 - how to make changes to sysctl and sysfs attributes
205 - how to pass throw-away units to systemd, or dynamically change properties of existing units
206 - how to integrate cgconfig and suchlike with systemd
207 - resource control in systemd
209 * allow port=0 in .socket units
211 * move readahead files into /var, look for them with .path units
213 * teach dbus to activate all services it finds in /etc/systemd/services/org-*.service
215 * support systemd.mask= on the kernel command line.
217 * when key file cannot be found, read it from kbd in cryptsetup
219 * reuse mkdtemp namespace dirs in /tmp?
221 * recreate systemd's D-Bus private socket file on SIGUSR2
223 * Support --test based on current system state
225 * investigate whether the gnome pty helper should be moved into systemd, to provide cgroup support.
227 * maybe introduce ExecRestartPre=
229 * configurable jitter for timer events
231 * timer events with system resume
233 * timer events on calendar time
235 * dot output for --test showing the 'initial transaction'
237 * calendar time support in timer, iCalendar semantics for the timer stuff (RFC2445)

240 * implicitly import "defaults" settings file into all types
241 * exec settings override
242 * writable cgroups dbus properties for live changes
244 * read config fragments for all units from /lib/systemd/system/foobar.service.d/ to override/extend specific settings
246 * port over to LISTEN_FDS/LISTEN_PID:
247 - rpcbind (/var/run/rpcbind.sock!) HAVEPATCH
251 - libvirtd (/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock-ro)
252 - bluetoothd (/var/run/sdp! @/org/bluez/audio!)
255 * auditd service files
257 * fingerprint.target, wireless.target, gps.target, netdevice.target
259 * io priority during initialization
261 * systemctl list-jobs - show dependencies
263 * add systemctl switch to dump transaction without executing it
265 * suspend, resume support?
267 * drop cap bounding set in readahead and other services
272 - get process transport into dbus for systemctl -P/-H (PENDING)
274 - natively watch for dbus-*.service symlinks (PENDING)
275 - allow specification of socket mode/umask when allocating DBusServer
276 - allow disabling of fd passing when connecting a AF_UNIX connection
277 - allow disabling of UID passing for AUTH EXTERNAL
280 PR_SET_CHILD_REAPER patch: https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/7/28/426
282 * fix alsa mixer restore to not print error when no config is stored
284 * udisks should not use udisks-part-id, instead use blkid. also not probe /dev/loopxxx
286 * snd-seq should go, https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=676095
288 * gnome-shell python script/glxinfo/is-accelerated must die
290 * make cryptsetup lower --iter-time
292 * patch kernel for xattr support in /dev, /proc/, /sys and /sys/fs/cgroup?
294 * NTP: the kernel's 11-minutes-mode syncs the system time to the RTC, but only
295 in an ~30 minutes window. It does not adjust larger differences. Find a way
296 to tell the kernel, to always do a full time sync when the RTC is in UTC and
297 we are in 11-minutes-mode. When we trust the system time to NTP we also want
300 * patch kernel for cpu feature modalias for autoloading aes/kvm/...
301 (patches in linux-next, on the way to the next kernel)
303 * kernel: add /proc/sys file exposing CAP_LAST_CAP? sysconf?
304 merged: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git;a=commit;h=73efc0394e148d0e15583e13712637831f926720
306 * kernel: add device_type = "fb", "fbcon" to class "graphics"
310 * look for close() vs. close_nointr() vs. close_nointr_nofail()
312 * check for strerror(r) instead of strerror(-r)
314 * Use PR_SET_PROCTITLE_AREA if it becomes available in the kernel
316 * %m in printf() instead of strerror();
320 * set_put(), hashmap_put() return values check. i.e. == 0 doesn't free()!
