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 * journald: don't make SystemMinFileSize= configurable
24 * clean up date formatting and parsing so that all absolute/relative timestamps we format can also be parsed
26 * introduce hybrid-sleep.target
28 * _SOURCE_MONOTONIC_TIMESTAMP entries from the kernel seem to be off by 1000000
30 * document unit_name_mangle()
32 * add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
34 * introduce generic AUGMENT_PID=, AUGMENT_DEVICE= fields
36 * deal with sendmail/postfix exclusivity
38 * systemctl enable: improve the success messages
40 * systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into doesn't exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
42 * on shutdown: move utmp, wall, audit logic all into PID 1 itsel
44 * add "provisioning" instructions to setup an empty /etc + /var
45 - used to setup a new container from a shared /usr
46 - superset of tmpfiles model
47 - instructions shipped by packages and stored in /usr/lib/
48 - compose /etc/passwd and /etc/group, copy files
49 - able to create uid + gid used by packages, for file ownership
51 * make repeated alt-ctrl-del presses printing a dump, or even force a reboot without
52 waiting for the timeout
54 * make sure that the journal output from the initrd is always merged into the journalctl output even if -m is not passed.
56 * add time seeks to journalctl
58 * high level net_prio setting in execution context
60 * Introduce journalctl -b <nr> to show journal messages of a previous boot
62 * systemctl should be able to show log messages from certain privileged 3rd party daemons such as setroubleshoot
64 * hostnamed: before returning information from /etc/machine-info.conf check the modification data and reread. Similar for localed, ...
66 * currently x-systemd.timeout is lost in the initrd, since crypttab is copied into dracut, but fstab isn't
68 * WorkingDirectory: support env var replacements like in ExecStart= so that people can use $HOME
70 * refuse boot if /etc/machine-id is not useful
72 * nspawn: consider changing users for -u with su, so that NSS resolving works correctly
74 * nspawn: implement personality changes a la linux32(8)
76 * nspawn: reset all aux groups
78 * cryptsetup-generator: warn if the password files are world-readable
80 * cryptsetup-generator: add RequiresMountsFor= to cryptseup service files referencing a file, similar for devices
82 * cryptsetup-generator: allow specification of passwords in crypttab itself
84 * document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fileds in
85 [Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
87 * need to update LGPL2.1 text to newest version (with updated FSF address)
89 * allow users from "wheel" to start/stop services
91 * systemctl: when powering down/suspending check for inhibitors, and warn.
93 * instantiated [Install] for target units
94 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54377
96 * support *static* (/run) hibernate inhibitors. All rpm -i actions should completely prevent any
97 sort of hibernate action until the next reboot. If the kernel or any other base tool is replaced
98 by rpm, the resume path might fail, the for resume needed kernel might even be uninstalled, and
99 the whole situation leads directly to data loss.
101 * move debug shell to tty6 and make sure this doesn't break the gettys on tty6
103 * move cryptsetup key caching into kernel keyctl?
104 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54982
106 * make nspawn work without terminal
108 * hw watchdog: optionally try to use the preset watchdog timeout instead of always overriding it
109 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54712
111 * after deserializing sockets in socket.c we should reapply sockopts and things
113 * do shutdown audit/utmp msgs inside of PID 1, get rid of systemd-update-utmp-runlevel
115 * make timer units go away after they elapsed
117 * http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2012-September/006502.html
119 * come up with a nice way to write queue/read_ahead_kb for a block device without interfering with readahead
121 * journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
123 * move PID 1 segfaults to /var/lib/systemd/coredump?
125 * Document word splitting syntax for ExecStart= and friends
127 * when writing journal entries order field items by their address to improve speed on rotating media
129 * create /sbin/init symlinks from the build system
131 * Query Paul Moore about relabelling socket fds while they are open
133 * move keymaps to /usr/lib/... rather than /usr/lib/udev/...
135 * journald: check whether it is OK if the client can still modify delivered journal entries
139 * json: properly serialize multiple fields with the same name per entry
141 * journal live copy, based on libneon (client) and libmicrohttpd
143 * document in wiki json serialization
145 * system-wide seccomp filter
147 * ability to pass fds into systemd
149 * system.conf should have controls for cgroups
151 * bind mount read-only the cgroup tree higher than than nspawn
153 * currently system services appear not to generate core dumps...
155 * wall messages for shutdown should move to logind
157 * allow writing multiple conditions in unit files on one line
159 * 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
161 * explore multiple service instances per listening socket idea
163 * 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.
165 * maybe make systemd-detect-virt suid? or use fscaps?
167 * shutdown: don't read-only mount anything when running in container
169 * nspawn: --read-only is not applied recursively to submounts
171 * MountFlags=shared acts as MountFlags=slave right now.
173 * ReadOnlyDirectories= is not applied recursively to submounts
175 * drop PID 1 reloading, only do reexecing (difficult: Reload()
176 currently is properly synchronous, Reexec() is weird, because we
177 can't delay the response properly until we are back, so instead of
178 being properly synchronous we just keep open the fd and close it
179 when done. That means clients don't get a succesful method reply,
180 but much rather a disconnect on success.
182 * document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
184 * remember which condition failed for services, not just the fact that something failed
186 * use opterr = 0 for all getopt tools
188 * properly handle loop back mounts via fstab, especially regards to fsck/passno
190 * allow services with no ExecStart= but with an ExecStop=
192 * add proper journal support to "systemctl --user status ..."
194 * add _SYSTEMD_USER_UNIT= field to journal entries
196 * dracut-shutdown needs to be ordered before unmounting /boot
198 * initialize the hostname from the fs label of /, if /etc/hostname does not exist?
200 * 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.
202 * rename "userspace" to "core-os"
204 * systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
206 * syscall filter: add knowledge about compat syscalls
208 * syscall filter: don't enforce no new privs?
210 * syscall filter: option to return EPERM rather than SIGSYS?
212 * syscall filter: port to libseccomp
214 * logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
216 * systemd-analyze post-boot is broken for initrd
218 * man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
220 * .device aliases need to be implemented with the "following" logic, probably.
222 * refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
224 * load-fragment: when loading a unit file via a chain of symlinks
225 verify that it isn't masked via any of the names traversed.
227 * journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
232 * introduce Type=pid-file
234 * systemctl list-unit-files appears to be broken for symlinked units in /usr/lib
236 * maybe allow services with ExecStop= set, but no ExecStart=?
238 * efi: implement /forcefsck as uefi variables thus not requiring file system altering to trigger a file system check
240 * efi: honour language efi variables for default language selection
242 * efi: honour timezone efi variables for default timezone selection
244 * efi: automatically mount EFI partition to /boot if no such entry exists in /etc/fstab and /boot is empty
245 gummiboot exports the EFI system partion (ESP) device:
246 /sys/firmware/efi/vars/LoaderDeviceIdentifier-4a67b082-0a4c-41cf-b6c7-440b29bb8c4f/data
247 Acpi(PNP0A03,0)/Pci(1F|2)/?/HD(Part1,Sig1FCBC57F-4BFC-4C2B-91A3-9C84FBCD9AF1)
248 '/' is the separator for the device path list
249 HD(Part1,Sig1FCBC57F-4BFC-4C2B-91A3-9C84FBCD9AF1) contains the GPT UUID of the ESP
251 * read the bootloader performance data (raw TSC) in systemd-analyze
252 /sys/firmware/efi/vars/LoaderTicksExec-4a67b082-0a4c-41cf-b6c7-440b29bb8c4f/data
254 /sys/firmware/efi/vars/LoaderTicksInit-4a67b082-0a4c-41cf-b6c7-440b29bb8c4f/data
256 /sys/firmware/efi/vars/LoaderTicksStartMenu-4a67b082-0a4c-41cf-b6c7-440b29bb8c4f/data
257 (only set if the menu was active)
259 * change Requires=basic.target to RequisiteOverride=basic.target
261 * support rd.luks.allow-discards= kernel cmdline params in cryptsetup generator
263 * nspawn: make use of device cgroup contrller by default
265 * drop accountsservice's StandardOutput=syslog and Type=dbus fields
267 * when breaking cycles drop sysv services first, then services from /run, then from /etc, then from /usr
269 * readahead: when bumping /sys readahead variable save mtime and compare later to detect changes
271 * (attempt to) make Debianites happy:
272 - implement .d/ auto includes for unit files
273 - add syntax to reset ExecStart= lists (and similar)
275 * move passno parsing to fstab generator
277 * improve !/proc/*/loginuid situation: make /proc/*/loginuid less dependent on CONFIG_AUDIT,
278 or use the users cgroup information when /proc/*/loginuid is not available.
280 * pam_systemd: try to get old session id from cgroup, if audit sessionid cannot be determined
282 * pam: when leaving a session explicitly exclude the ReleaseSession() caller process from the killing spree
284 * maybe introduce ~/.config/locale.conf and apply it within PAM
286 * readahead: make use of EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT, as used by http://e4rat.sourceforge.net/
288 * automount: implement expire
290 * logind: auto-suspend, auto-shutdown:
291 IdleAction=(none|suspend|opportunistic|hibernate|poweroff)
293 SessionIdleMode=(explicit|ignore|login)
294 ForceShutdown=(yes|no)
296 * services which create their own subcgroups break cgroup-empty notification (needs to be fixed in the kernel)

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

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

427 * implement Register= switch in .socket units to enable registration
428 in Avahi, RPC and other socket registration services.
430 * make sure systemd-ask-password-wall does not shutdown systemd-ask-password-console too early
432 * readahead: use BTRFS_IOC_DEFRAG_RANGE instead of BTRFS_IOC_DEFRAG ioctl, with START_IO
434 * readahead: check whether a btrfs volume includes ssd by checking mount flag "ssd"
436 * support sd_notify() style notification when reload begins (RELOADING=1), reload is finished (READY=1), and add ReloadSignal= then to use in combination
438 * support sd_notify() style notification when shutting down, to make auto-exit bus services work (STOPPING=1)
440 * verify that the AF_UNIX sockets of a service in the fs still exist
441 when we start a service in order to avoid confusion when a user
442 assumes starting a service is enough to make it accessible
444 * Make it possible to set the keymap independently from the font on
445 the kernel cmdline. Right now setting one resets also the other.
447 * move nss-myhostname into systemd
449 * and a dbus call to generate target from current state
451 * drop /.readahead on bigger upgrades with yum
453 * add support for /bin/mount -s
455 * GC unreferenced jobs (such as .device jobs)
457 * write blog stories about:
458 - enabling dbus services
460 - how to make changes to sysctl and sysfs attributes
462 - how to pass throw-away units to systemd, or dynamically change properties of existing units
463 - how to integrate cgconfig and suchlike with systemd
464 - resource control in systemd
465 - testing with Harald's awesome test kit
468 * allow port=0 in .socket units
470 * move readahead files into /var, look for them with .path units
472 * teach dbus to activate all services it finds in /etc/systemd/services/org-*.service
474 * support systemd.mask= on the kernel command line.
476 * when key file cannot be found, read it from kbd in cryptsetup
478 * reuse mkdtemp namespace dirs in /tmp?
480 * recreate systemd's D-Bus private socket file on SIGUSR2
482 * Support --test based on current system state
484 * investigate whether the gnome pty helper should be moved into systemd, to provide cgroup support.
486 * maybe introduce ExecRestartPre=
488 * configurable jitter for timer events
490 * timer events with system resume
492 * dot output for --test showing the 'initial transaction'
494 * calendar time support in timer:
495 https://docs.google.com/document/pub?id=1bAMyFAjWLpzR3GTDYdgj5FWRMxoZiWw5zmUHEtvdHKA
497 * implicitly import "defaults" settings file into all types
499 * writable cgroups dbus properties for live changes
501 * read config fragments for all units from /lib/systemd/system/foobar.service.d/ to override/extend specific settings
503 * port over to LISTEN_FDS/LISTEN_PID:
504 - rpcbind (/var/run/rpcbind.sock!) HAVEPATCH
508 - libvirtd (/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock-ro)
509 - bluetoothd (/var/run/sdp! @/org/bluez/audio!)

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