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 * WorkingDirectory: support env var replacements like in ExecStart= so that people can use $HOME
24 * refuse boot if /etc/machine-id is not useful
26 * nspawn: consider changing users for -u with su, so that NSS resolving works correctly
28 * nspawn: implement personality changes a la linux32(8)
30 * nspawn: reset all aux groups
32 * cryptsetup-generator: warn if the password files are world-readable
34 * cryptsetup-generator: add RequiresMountsFor= to cryptseup service files referencing a file, similar for devices
36 * cryptsetup-generator: allow specification of passwords in crypttab itself
38 * document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fileds in
39 [Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
41 * need to update LGPL2.1 text to newest version (with updated FSF address)
43 * allow users from "wheel" to start/stop services
45 * systemctl: when powering down/suspending check for inhibitors, and warn.
47 * instantiated [Install] for target units
48 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54377
50 * support *static* (/run) hibernate inhibitors. All rpm -i actions should completely prevent any
51 sort of hibernate action until the next reboot. If the kernel or any other base tool is replaced
52 by rpm, the resume path might fail, the for resume needed kernel might even be uninstalled, and
53 the whole situation leads directly to data loss.
55 * move debug shell to tty6 and make sure this doesn't break the gettys on tty6
57 * move cryptsetup key caching into kernel keyctl?
58 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54982
60 * make nspawn work without terminal
62 * hw watchdog: optionally try to use the preset watchdog timeout instead of always overriding it
63 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54712
65 * after deserializing sockets in socket.c we should reapply sockopts and things
67 * does vasprintf advance the struct vaargs? http://pastie.org/pastes/4712773/text
69 * do shutdown audit/utmp msgs inside of PID 1, get rid of systemd-update-utmp-runlevel
71 * make timer units go away after they elapsed
73 * http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2012-September/006502.html
75 * come up with a nice way to write queue/read_ahead_kb for a block device without interfering with readahead
77 * journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
79 * move PID 1 segfaults to /var/lib/systemd/coredump?
81 * Document word splitting syntax for ExecStart= and friends
83 * when writing journal entries order field items by their address to improve speed on rotating media
85 * create /sbin/init symlinks from the build system
87 * Query Paul Moore about relabelling socket fds while they are open
89 * move keymaps to /usr/lib/... rather than /usr/lib/udev/...
91 * journald: check whether it is OK if the client can still modify delivered journal entries
95 * json: properly serialize multiple fields with the same name per entry
97 * journal live copy, based on libneon (client) and libmicrohttpd
99 * document in wiki json serialization
101 * system-wide seccomp filter
103 * ability to pass fds into systemd
105 * system.conf should have controls for cgroups
107 * bind mount read-only the cgroup tree higher than than nspawn
109 * currently system services appear not to generate core dumps...
111 * wall messages for shutdown should move to logind
113 * allow writing multiple conditions in unit files on one line
115 * 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
117 * explore multiple service instances per listening socket idea
119 * 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.
121 * maybe make systemd-detect-virt suid? or use fscaps?
123 * shutdown: don't read-only mount anything when running in container
125 * nspawn: --read-only is not applied recursively to submounts
127 * MountFlags=shared acts as MountFlags=slave right now.
129 * ReadOnlyDirectories= is not applied recursively to submounts
131 * drop PID 1 reloading, only do reexecing (difficult: Reload()
132 currently is properly synchronous, Reexec() is weird, because we
133 can't delay the response properly until we are back, so instead of
134 being properly synchronous we just keep open the fd and close it
135 when done. That means clients don't get a succesful method reply,
136 but much rather a disconnect on success.
138 * document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
140 * remember which condition failed for services, not just the fact that something failed
142 * use opterr = 0 for all getopt tools
144 * properly handle loop back mounts via fstab, especially regards to fsck/passno
146 * allow services with no ExecStart= but with an ExecStop=
148 * add proper journal support to "systemctl --user status ..."
150 * add _SYSTEMD_USER_UNIT= field to journal entries
152 * dracut-shutdown needs to be ordered before unmounting /boot
154 * initialize the hostname from the fs label of /, if /etc/hostname does not exist?
156 * 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.
158 * rename "userspace" to "core-os"
160 * systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
162 * syscall filter: add knowledge about compat syscalls
164 * syscall filter: don't enforce no new privs?
166 * syscall filter: option to return EPERM rather than SIGSYS?
168 * syscall filter: port to libseccomp
170 * logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
172 * systemd-analyze post-boot is broken for initrd
174 * man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
176 * .device aliases need to be implemented with the "following" logic, probably.
178 * refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
180 * load-fragment: when loading a unit file via a chain of symlinks
181 verify that it isn't masked via any of the names traversed.
183 * journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
188 * introduce Type=pid-file
190 * systemctl list-unit-files appears to be broken for symlinked units in /usr/lib
192 * maybe allow services with ExecStop= set, but no ExecStart=?
194 * efi: implement /forcefsck as uefi variables thus not requiring file system altering to trigger a file system check
196 * efi: honour language efi variables for default language selection
198 * efi: honour timezone efi variables for default timezone selection
200 * efi: automatically mount EFI partition to /boot if no such entry exists in /etc/fstab and /boot is empty
201 gummiboot exports the EFI system partion (ESP) device:
202 /sys/firmware/efi/vars/LoaderDeviceIdentifier-4a67b082-0a4c-41cf-b6c7-440b29bb8c4f/data
203 Acpi(PNP0A03,0)/Pci(1F|2)/?/HD(Part1,Sig1FCBC57F-4BFC-4C2B-91A3-9C84FBCD9AF1)
204 '/' is the separator for the device path list
205 HD(Part1,Sig1FCBC57F-4BFC-4C2B-91A3-9C84FBCD9AF1) contains the GPT UUID of the ESP
207 * read the bootloader performance data (raw TSC) in systemd-analyze
208 /sys/firmware/efi/vars/LoaderTicksExec-4a67b082-0a4c-41cf-b6c7-440b29bb8c4f/data
210 /sys/firmware/efi/vars/LoaderTicksInit-4a67b082-0a4c-41cf-b6c7-440b29bb8c4f/data
212 /sys/firmware/efi/vars/LoaderTicksStartMenu-4a67b082-0a4c-41cf-b6c7-440b29bb8c4f/data

221 * nspawn: make use of device cgroup contrller by default
223 * drop accountsservice's StandardOutput=syslog and Type=dbus fields
225 * when breaking cycles drop sysv services first, then services from /run, then from /etc, then from /usr
227 * readahead: when bumping /sys readahead variable save mtime and compare later to detect changes
229 * (attempt to) make Debianites happy:
230 - implement .d/ auto includes for unit files
231 - add syntax to reset ExecStart= lists (and similar)
233 * move passno parsing to fstab generator
235 * improve !/proc/*/loginuid situation: make /proc/*/loginuid less dependent on CONFIG_AUDIT,
236 or use the users cgroup information when /proc/*/loginuid is not available.
238 * pam_systemd: try to get old session id from cgroup, if audit sessionid cannot be determined
240 * pam: when leaving a session explicitly exclude the ReleaseSession() caller process from the killing spree
242 * maybe introduce ~/.config/locale.conf and apply it within PAM
244 * readahead: make use of EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT, as used by http://e4rat.sourceforge.net/
246 * automount: implement expire
248 * logind: auto-suspend, auto-shutdown:
249 IdleAction=(none|suspend|opportunistic|hibernate|poweroff)
251 SessionIdleMode=(explicit|ignore|login)
252 ForceShutdown=(yes|no)
254 * services which create their own subcgroups break cgroup-empty notification (needs to be fixed in the kernel)

262 * fedora: make sshd and pam_loginuid work in nspawn containers
264 * fix utmp for console logins in containers
266 * Add pretty name for seats in logind
268 * ConditionSecurity= should learn about IMA
270 * Auke: merge Auke's bootchart
274 * udev systemd unify:
275 - strpcpy(), strpcpyl(), strscpy(), strscpyl()
276 - utf8 validator code
277 - now() vs. now_usec()
279 * udev: remove network interface renaming, sleep and retry logic, we do
280 no support renaming of interfaces in the conflicting kernel
283 * udev: find a way to tell udev to not cancel firmware requests when running in initramfs
285 * udev: scsi_id -> sg3_utils -> kill scsi_id
287 * udev: add trigger --subsystem-match=usb/usb_device device
289 * allow configuration of console width/height in vconsole.conf
291 * cleanup syslog 'priority' vs. 'level' wording
293 * dbus upstream still refers to dbus.target and shouldn't
295 * 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
297 * support container_ttys=
299 * introduce mix of BindTo and Requisite
301 * journalctl: show multiline log messages sanely, expand tabs, and show all valid utf8 messages
303 * add DeleteSocketsOnStop=yes|no option to socket units
305 * journal: store euid in journal if it differs from uid
307 * There's currently no way to cancel fsck (used to be possible via C-c or c on the console)

311 * add command to systemctl to plot dependency graph as tree (see rhbz 795365)
313 * add option to sockets to avoid activation. Instead just drop packets/connections, see http://cyberelk.net/tim/2012/02/15/portreserve-systemd-solution/
315 * default unix qlen is too small (10). bump sysctl? add sockopt?
317 * Possibly, detect whether SysV init scripts can do reloading by looking for "echo Usage:" lines
319 * figure out whether we should leave dbus around during shutdown
321 * dbus: in fedora, make the machine a symlink to /etc/machine-id
323 * dbus: move dbus to early boot
325 * journald: reuse XZ context
327 * logind: add equivalent to sd_pid_get_owner_uid() to the D-Bus API
329 * journal: API for looking for retrieving "all values of this field"
331 * journal: deal nicely with byte-by-byte copied files, especially regards header

345 * support crash reporting operation modes (https://live.gnome.org/GnomeOS/Design/Whiteboards/ProblemReporting)
347 * clean up session cgroups that remain after logout (think sshd), but eventually run empty
349 * support "systemctl stop foobar@.service" to stop all units matching a certain template
351 * logind: allow showing logout dialog from system
353 * document that %% can be used to write % in a string that is specifier extended
355 * when an instanced service exits, remove its parent cgroup too if possible.
357 * default to actual 32bit PIDs, via /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max
359 * be able to specify a forced restart of service A where service B depends on, in case B
360 needs to be auto-respawned?
362 * Something is wrong with symlink handling of "autovt@.service" in "systemctl list-unit-files"
364 * when a bus name of a service disappears from the bus make sure to queue further activation requests
366 * something like ConditionExec= or ExecStartPre= without failure state
368 * tmpfiles: apply "x" on "D" too (see patch from William Douglas)
370 * don't set $HOME in services unless requested
372 * hide PAM/TCPWrap options in fragment parser when compile time disabled
374 * when we automatically restart a service, ensure we restart its rdeps, too.
376 * allow Type=simple with PIDFile=
377 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=723942
379 * move PAM code into its own binary
381 * warn if the user stops a service but not its associated socket

388 in Avahi, RPC and other socket registration services.
390 * make sure systemd-ask-password-wall does not shutdown systemd-ask-password-console too early
392 * readahead: use BTRFS_IOC_DEFRAG_RANGE instead of BTRFS_IOC_DEFRAG ioctl, with START_IO
394 * readahead: check whether a btrfs volume includes ssd by checking mount flag "ssd"
396 * support sd_notify() style notification when reload begins (RELOADING=1), reload is finished (READY=1), and add ReloadSignal= then to use in combination
398 * support sd_notify() style notification when shutting down, to make auto-exit bus services work (STOPPING=1)
400 * verify that the AF_UNIX sockets of a service in the fs still exist
401 when we start a service in order to avoid confusion when a user
402 assumes starting a service is enough to make it accessible
404 * Make it possible to set the keymap independently from the font on
405 the kernel cmdline. Right now setting one resets also the other.
407 * move nss-myhostname into systemd
409 * and a dbus call to generate target from current state
411 * drop /.readahead on bigger upgrades with yum
413 * add support for /bin/mount -s
415 * GC unreferenced jobs (such as .device jobs)
417 * write blog stories about:
418 - enabling dbus services
420 - how to make changes to sysctl and sysfs attributes
422 - how to pass throw-away units to systemd, or dynamically change properties of existing units
423 - how to integrate cgconfig and suchlike with systemd
424 - resource control in systemd

433 * teach dbus to activate all services it finds in /etc/systemd/services/org-*.service
435 * support systemd.mask= on the kernel command line.
437 * when key file cannot be found, read it from kbd in cryptsetup
439 * reuse mkdtemp namespace dirs in /tmp?
441 * recreate systemd's D-Bus private socket file on SIGUSR2
443 * Support --test based on current system state
445 * investigate whether the gnome pty helper should be moved into systemd, to provide cgroup support.
447 * maybe introduce ExecRestartPre=
449 * configurable jitter for timer events
451 * timer events with system resume
453 * timer events on calendar time:
454 maybe use this time syntax? http://ohse.de/uwe/uschedule/uschedule.html
456 * dot output for --test showing the 'initial transaction'
458 * calendar time support in timer, iCalendar semantics for the timer stuff (RFC2445)
459 http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=99ee5315dac6211e972fa3f23bcc9a0343ff58c4
461 * implicitly import "defaults" settings file into all types
463 * writable cgroups dbus properties for live changes
465 * read config fragments for all units from /lib/systemd/system/foobar.service.d/ to override/extend specific settings
467 * port over to LISTEN_FDS/LISTEN_PID:
468 - rpcbind (/var/run/rpcbind.sock!) HAVEPATCH
472 - libvirtd (/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock-ro)
473 - bluetoothd (/var/run/sdp! @/org/bluez/audio!)
476 * fingerprint.target, wireless.target, gps.target, netdevice.target
478 * io priority during initialization
480 * systemctl list-jobs - show dependencies
482 * add systemctl switch to dump transaction without executing it
484 * drop cap bounding set in readahead and other services
490 - natively watch for dbus-*.service symlinks (PENDING)
491 - allow specification of socket mode/umask when allocating DBusServer
492 - allow disabling of fd passing when connecting a AF_UNIX connection
493 - allow disabling of UID passing for AUTH EXTERNAL
494 - always pass cred data along each message
496 * fix alsa mixer restore to not print error when no config is stored
498 * gnome-shell python script/glxinfo/is-accelerated must die
500 * make cryptsetup lower --iter-time
502 * patch kernel for xattr support in /dev, /proc/, /sys and /sys/fs/cgroup?
504 * NTP: the kernel's 11-minutes-mode syncs the system time to the RTC, but only
505 in an ~30 minutes window. It does not adjust larger differences. Find a way
506 to tell the kernel, to always do a full time sync when the RTC is in UTC and
507 we are in 11-minutes-mode. When we trust the system time to NTP we also want
510 * kernel: add device_type = "fb", "fbcon" to class "graphics"
514 * look for close() vs. close_nointr() vs. close_nointr_nofail()
516 * check for strerror(r) instead of strerror(-r)
518 * Use PR_SET_PROCTITLE_AREA if it becomes available in the kernel
520 * %m in printf() instead of strerror(errno);
524 * set_put(), hashmap_put() return values check. i.e. == 0 doesn't free()!
526 * use secure_getenv() instead of getenv() where appropriate
528 Scheduled for removal or fixing:
530 * xxxOverridable dependencies (probably: fix)
532 * support for early-boot SysV services (definitely: remove)
