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 * Dangling symlinks of .automount unit files in .wants/ directories, set up
7 automount points even when the original .automount file did not exist
8 anymore. Only the .mount unit was still around.
10 * make polkit checks async
12 * properly handle .mount unit state tracking when two mount points are stacked one on top of another on the exact same mount point.
14 * add 'set -e' to scripts in test/
15 * make test in test/ work with separate output dir
17 * suppress log output on shutdown when "quiet" is used
20 * make anaconda write timeout=0 for encrypted devices
22 * drop no longer needed modprobe.d udlfb file (it does not belong in /etc anyway)
24 * Retest multi-seat (new kms driver for displaylink)
26 * make sure pkexec works fine with pam_systemd works fine with audit=0
28 * create /var/log/journal/
30 * external: maybe it is time to patch procps so that "ps" links to
31 libsystemd-logind to print a pretty service name, seat name, session
32 name in its output. Currently it only shows cgroup membership, but
33 that's sometimes kinda hard to parse for a human.
36 - don't unconditionally filter out duplicate settings
37 - support high-level cgroup setting syntax in systemctl. Example: "systemctl set-cgroup-attr MemoryLimit 5K"
38 - support writte string mapping even for non-high-level settings
39 - add man page for systemctl commands
40 - make sure we work fine with multi-line strings
42 * kernel cmdline switch to turn off predictable network interface names
44 * journal is not closed properly at shutdown when run in a container?
46 * introduce new "journal" group in place of adm?
49 - localectl: add listing support for X11 keymaps, by parsing /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/xorg.lst
50 - localectl: support new converted x11→console keymaps
52 * logind: Class property should probably know "background" or so as value for cron jobs, and the inhibition checks should filter those out too.
54 * timer logic is confused by units which are skipped due to failing condition
55 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2013-February/008816.html
59 * figure out what we do about hostnames/fqdn in hostnamectl/hostnamed
61 * use "log level" rather than "log priority" everywhere
63 * unit_name_mangle() is currently not used on "systemctl enable" and friends, only on "systemctl start"
65 * ensure sd_journal_seek_monotonic actually works properly.
67 * timedate: have global on/off switches for auto-time (NTP), and auto-timezone that connman can subscribe to.
69 * support --root= in msgcatalog compiler
71 * Honour "-" prefix for InaccessibleDirectories= and ReadOnlyDirectories= to
72 suppress errors of the specified path doesn't exist
74 * dev-setup.c: when running in a container, create a tiny stub udev
75 database with the systemd tag set for all network interfaces found,
76 so that libudev reports them as present, and systemd's .device units
79 * merge service_kill() logic into unit_kill_context() and unify the code paths
81 * introduce ExecCondition= in services
83 * if we have systemd-analyze in C "systemctl dot" should move there too
86 - fsck hookup for the ESP mount is missing
87 - write man page for efi boot generator
88 - add configure switch for enabling/disabling efi stuff
89 - honor language efi variables for default language selection (if there are any?)
90 - honor timezone efi variables for default timezone selection (if there are any?)
91 - introduce bootctl (backed by systemd-bootd) to control temporary and persistent default boot goal plus efi variables
93 * polkit: add configure switch to enable/disable polkit client side code
95 * maybe do not install getty@tty1.service symlink in /etc but in /usr?
97 * re-enable "make check" for gtk-doc (broken for unknown reason)
99 * fstab: add new mount option x-systemd-after=/foobar/waldo to allow manual dependencies to other mount points
100 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=812826
102 * print a nicer explanation if people use variable/specifier expansion in ExecStart= for the first word
104 * mount: turn dependency information from /proc/self/mountinfo into dependency information between systemd units.
107 - logind: optionally, ignore idle-hint logic for autosuspend, block suspend as long as a session is around
108 - When we update the kernel all kind of hibernation should be prohibited until shutdown/reboot
109 - logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
110 - Add pretty name for seats in logind
111 - logind: allow showing logout dialog from system?
112 - logind: spawn user@..service on login
113 - logind: non-local X11 server handling
114 - logind: add equivalent to sd_pid_get_owner_uid() to the D-Bus API
115 - pam_systemd: try to get old session id from cgroup, if audit sessionid cannot be determined
116 - pam: when leaving a session explicitly exclude the ReleaseSession() caller process from the killing spree
117 - logind: GetSessionByPID() should accept 0 as PID value
119 * exec: when deinitializating a tty device fix the perms and group, too, not only when initializing. Set access mode/gid to 0620/tty.
121 * DeviceAllow/DeviceDeny: disallow everything by default, but whitelist /dev/zero, /dev/null and friends
123 * service: watchdog logic: for testing purposes allow ping, but do not require pong
126 - journald: also get thread ID from client, plus thread name
127 - journal: when waiting for journal additions in the client always sleep at least 1s or so, in order to minimize wakeups
128 - add API to close/reopen/get fd for journal client fd in libsystemd-journal.
129 - fallback to /dev/log based logging in libsystemd-journal, if we can't log natively?
130 - declare the local journal protocol stable in the wiki interface chart
131 - journal: reuse XZ context
132 - sd-journal: speed up sd_journal_get_data() with transparent hash table in bg
133 - journald: when dropping msgs due to ratelimit make sure to write
134 "dropped %u messages" not only when we are about to print the next
135 message that works, but alraedy after a short tiemout
136 - check if we can make journalctl by default use --follow mode inside of less if called without args?
137 - maybe add API to send pairs of iovecs via sd_journal_send
138 - journal: when writing journal auto-rotate if time jumps backwards
139 - gatewayd: should run under its own UID
140 - journal: add a setgid "adm" utility to invoke from libsystemd-journal, which passes fds via STDOUT and does PK access
141 - journactl: support negative filtering, i.e. FOOBAR!="waldo",
142 and !FOOBAR for events without FOOBAR.
143 - journal: when rotating, copy over old acls/access mode
144 - journal: document why we do not give ownership to journal files to the user that created them but use FS ACLs for that
145 - journal: send out marker messages every now and then, and immediately sync with fdatasync() afterwards, in order to have hourly guaranteed syncs.
146 - journal: when we haven't written anything in a while, sync to disk and mark file as offline, in order to be more often than not in a clean state
147 - journal-send.c, log.c: when the log socket is clogged, and we drop, count this and write a message about this when it gets unclogged again.
148 - journal: find a way to allow dropping history early, based on priority, other rules
149 - journal: When used on NFS, check payload hashes
150 - journal: When used on NFS make sure wake up sd_journal_wait() every 2s, to handle missing inotify
151 - document that people can use file system ACLs to manage access to journal files, with example
152 - Introduce journalctl -b <nr> to show journal messages of a previous boot
153 - journald: check whether it is OK if the client can still modify delivered journal entries
154 - journal live copy, based on libneon (client) and libmicrohttpd
155 - journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
156 - refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
157 - journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
158 - journal: deal nicely with byte-by-byte copied files, especially regards header
159 - journalctl: show multiline log messages sanely, expand tabs, and show all valid utf8 messages
160 - journal: store euid in journal if it differs from uid
161 - journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the components would fit
164 - document unit_name_mangle()
165 - document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fileds in
166 [Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
167 - man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
168 - Document word splitting syntax for ExecStart= and friends
169 - document that units from /etc override those from /usr and /run
170 - document the exit codes when services fail before they are exec()ed
171 - document that %% can be used to write % in a string that is specifier extended
172 - document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
173 - document in wiki how to map ical recurrence events to systemd timer unit calendar specifications
176 - systemctl list-jobs - show dependencies
177 - add systemctl switch to dump transaction without executing it
178 - Add a verbose mode to "systemctl start" and friends that explains what is being done or not done
179 - "systemctl disable" on a static unit prints no message and does
180 nothing. "systemctl enable" does nothing, and gives a bad message
181 about it. Should fix both to print nice actionable messages.
182 - print nice message from systemctl --failed if there are no entries shown, and hook that into ExecStartPre of rescue.service/emergency.service
183 - add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
184 - systemctl enable: improve the success messages (i.e. more human readable, less shell-like)
185 - systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into doesn't exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
186 - systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
187 - support "systemctl stop foobar@.service" to stop all units matching a certain template
188 - Something is wrong with symlink handling of "autovt@.service" in "systemctl list-unit-files"
190 * When shutdown.target is queued begin with an asynchronous sync()?
192 * introduce ntp.service (or suchlike) as symlink that is used to arbitrate between various NTP implementations
194 * deal with sendmail/postfix exclusivity
197 - configurable jitter for timer events
198 - timer events with system resume
199 - timer units should get the ability to trigger when:
200 o CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (TFD_TIMER_CANCEL_ON_SET)
202 - Support 2012-02~4 as syntax for specifying the fourth to last day of the month.
204 * update the kernel's TZ (sys_tz) when DST changes
206 * sync down the system time to the RTC when:
207 - CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (the user explicitely requested a time set)
208 - DST/timezone changes && ntp is active && RTC-in-localtime (never do it without ntp)
209 This takes care of syncing ntpdate updates to the RTC, and DST updates for localtime
210 mode, it will never touch the RTC if the no reliable time source is active or the
211 user did not request anything like it.
214 - implement conditional properties (dmi matches)
215 - hwdb --filter=ID_DRIVE_*
217 * if booted in "quiet" mode, and an error happens, turn on status
218 output again, so that the emergency mode isn't totally
219 surprising. Also, terminate plymouth.
221 * libunwind support for coredump pattern hook, and includes this in
222 the message for coredumps. After all, libunwind is now capable to
223 unwind coredumps since a few weeks ago. This probably requires that
224 we have nice support for multi-line messages on display in
225 logs-show.c. Alternatively: use libelfutil, which seems to be the
226 better supported alternative.
228 * figure out relation of --all and --full in the various tools
230 * add libsystemd-password or so to query passwords during boot using the password agent logic
232 * If we show an error about a unit (such as not showing up) and it has no Description string, then show a description string generated form the reverse of unit_name_mangle().
234 * fedup: add --unit to systemctl switch-root somehow
235 * fedup: don't delete initrd on switch-root
239 - timedated: export boolean that clarifies whether NTP is even available
240 - timedated: refuse time changes when NTP is on
242 * clean up date formatting and parsing so that all absolute/relative timestamps we format can also be parsed
244 * introduce generic AUGMENT_PID=, AUGMENT_DEVICE= fields
246 * on shutdown: move utmp, wall, audit logic all into PID 1 (or logind?), get rid of systemd-update-utmp-runlevel
248 * add "provisioning" instructions to setup an empty /etc + /var
249 - used to setup a new container from a shared /usr
250 - superset of tmpfiles model
251 - instructions shipped by packages and stored in /usr/lib/
252 - compose /etc/passwd and /etc/group, copy files
253 - able to create uid + gid used by packages, for file ownership
255 * make repeated alt-ctrl-del presses printing a dump, or even force a reboot without
256 waiting for the timeout
258 * high level net_prio setting in execution context
260 * hostnamed: before returning information from /etc/machine-info.conf check the modification data and reread. Similar for localed, ...
262 * currently x-systemd.timeout is lost in the initrd, since crypttab is copied into dracut, but fstab isn't
264 * WorkingDirectory: support env var replacements like in ExecStart= so that people can use $HOME
266 * refuse boot if /etc/machine-id is not useful (or set taint?)
269 - nspawn: consider changing users for -u with su, so that NSS resolving works correctly
270 - nspawn: implement personality changes a la linux32(8)
271 - nspawn: --read-only is not applied recursively to submounts
272 - nspawn: make use of device cgroup controller by default
273 - bind mount read-only the cgroup tree higher than nspawn
274 - nspawn: investigate whether we can support the same as LXC's
275 lxc.network.type=phys mode, and pass through entire network
276 interfaces to the container
277 - nspawn: maybe add a way to drop additional caps, in addition to add additional caps
278 - nspawn: maybe explicitly reset loginuid?
281 - cryptsetup-generator: warn if the password files are world-readable
282 - cryptsetup-generator: add RequiresMountsFor= to cryptseup service files referencing a file, similar for devices
283 - cryptsetup-generator: allow specification of passwords in crypttab itself
284 - move cryptsetup key caching into kernel keyctl?
285 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54982
286 - when key file cannot be found, read it from kbd in cryptsetup
288 * move debug shell to tty6 and make sure this doesn't break the gettys on tty6
290 * hw watchdog: optionally try to use the preset watchdog timeout instead of always overriding it
291 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54712
293 * after deserializing sockets in socket.c we should reapply sockopts and things
295 * make timer units go away after they elapsed
297 * http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2012-September/006502.html
298 (network and remote-fs on shutdown)
300 * come up with a nice way to write queue/read_ahead_kb for a block device without interfering with readahead
302 * move PID 1 segfaults to /var/lib/systemd/coredump?
304 * create /sbin/init symlinks from the build system
306 * Query Paul Moore about relabelling socket fds while they are open
308 * system.conf should have controls for cgroups
310 * allow writing multiple conditions in unit files on one line
312 * explore multiple service instances per listening socket idea
314 * 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.
316 * shutdown: don't read-only mount anything when running in container
318 * MountFlags=shared acts as MountFlags=slave right now.
320 * ReadOnlyDirectories= is not applied recursively to submounts
322 * drop PID 1 reloading, only do reexecing (difficult: Reload()
323 currently is properly synchronous, Reexec() is weird, because we
324 can't delay the response properly until we are back, so instead of
325 being properly synchronous we just keep open the fd and close it
326 when done. That means clients don't get a successful method reply,
327 but much rather a disconnect on success.
329 * remember which condition failed for services, not just the fact that something failed
331 * use opterr = 0 for all getopt tools
333 * properly handle loop back mounts via fstab, especially regards to fsck/passno
335 * allow services with no ExecStart= but with an ExecStop=
337 * dracut-shutdown needs to be ordered before unmounting /boot
339 * initialize the hostname from the fs label of /, if /etc/hostname does not exist?
341 * rename "userspace" to "core-os"
344 - syscall filter: add knowledge about compat syscalls
345 - syscall filter: don't enforce no new privs?
346 - syscall filter: option to return EPERM rather than SIGSYS?
347 - syscall filter: port to libseccomp
348 - system-wide seccomp filter
350 * systemd-analyze: data collection tools should be lightweight (few dependencies); data analysis tools can be heavyweight
352 * .device aliases need to be implemented with the "following" logic, probably.
354 * load-fragment: when loading a unit file via a chain of symlinks
355 verify that it isn't masked via any of the names traversed.
357 * introduce Type=pid-file
359 * maybe allow services with ExecStop= set, but no ExecStart=?
361 * change Requires=basic.target to RequisiteOverride=basic.target
363 * support rd.luks.allow-discards= kernel cmdline params in cryptsetup generator
365 * drop accountsservice's StandardOutput=syslog and Type=dbus fields
367 * when breaking cycles drop sysv services first, then services from /run, then from /etc, then from /usr
369 * move passno parsing to fstab generator
371 * automount: implement expire:
372 - set superblock timeout AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_TIMEOUT_CMD
373 - periodically run AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_EXPIRE_CMD
374 - every timeout/4 (original autofs logic)
375 - blocking, needs a thread
377 - receive expire packet on pipe if kernel tells the timeout is over
379 - answer expire packet on pipe with AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_{READY,FAIL}_CMD
380 - AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_EXPIRE_CMD returns
382 * services which create their own subcgroups break cgroup-empty notification (needs to be fixed in the kernel)
384 * ExecOnFailure=/usr/bin/foo
386 * ConditionSecurity= should learn about IMA and SMACK
389 - remove all (misguided from day 1) userspace firmware_class handling
391 - unify utf8 validator code with shared/
393 - add trigger --subsystem-match=usb/usb_device device
395 * cleanup syslog 'priority' vs. 'level' wording
397 * dbus upstream still refers to dbus.target and shouldn't
399 * 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
401 * support container_ttys=
403 * introduce mix of BindTo and Requisite
405 * add DeleteSocketsOnStop=yes|no option to socket units
407 * There's currently no way to cancel fsck (used to be possible via C-c or c on the console)
409 * add option to sockets to avoid activation. Instead just drop packets/connections, see http://cyberelk.net/tim/2012/02/15/portreserve-systemd-solution/
411 * default unix qlen is too small (10). bump sysctl? add sockopt?
413 * figure out whether we should leave dbus around during shutdown
415 * dbus: in fedora, make /var/lib/dbus/machine-id a symlink to /etc/machine-id
417 * dbus: move dbus to early boot
419 * save coredump in Windows/Mozilla minidump format
421 * support crash reporting operation modes (https://live.gnome.org/GnomeOS/Design/Whiteboards/ProblemReporting)
423 * clean up session cgroups that remain after logout (think sshd), but eventually run empty
425 * when an instanced service exits, remove its parent cgroup too if possible.
427 * default to actual 32bit PIDs, via /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max
429 * be able to specify a forced restart of service A where service B depends on, in case B
430 needs to be auto-respawned?
432 * when a bus name of a service disappears from the bus make sure to queue further activation requests
434 * tmpfiles: apply "x" on "D" too (see patch from William Douglas)
436 * for services: don't set $HOME in services unless requested
438 * hide PAM/TCPWrap options in fragment parser when compile time disabled
440 * when we automatically restart a service, ensure we restart its rdeps, too.
442 * allow Type=simple with PIDFile=
443 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=723942
445 * move PAM code into its own binary
447 * implement Register= switch in .socket units to enable registration
448 in Avahi, RPC and other socket registration services.
450 * make sure systemd-ask-password-wall does not shutdown systemd-ask-password-console too early
452 * support sd_notify() style notification when reload begins (RELOADING=1), reload is finished (READY=1), and add ReloadSignal= then to use in combination
454 * support sd_notify() style notification when shutting down, to make auto-exit bus services work (STOPPING=1)
456 * verify that the AF_UNIX sockets of a service in the fs still exist
457 when we start a service in order to avoid confusion when a user
458 assumes starting a service is enough to make it accessible
460 * Make it possible to set the keymap independently from the font on
461 the kernel cmdline. Right now setting one resets also the other.
463 * and a dbus call to generate target from current state
466 - drop /.readahead on bigger upgrades with yum
467 - move readahead files into /var (look for them with .path units?)
468 - readahead: use BTRFS_IOC_DEFRAG_RANGE instead of BTRFS_IOC_DEFRAG ioctl, with START_IO
469 - readahead: when bumping /sys readahead variable save mtime and compare later to detect changes
470 - readahead: make use of EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT, as used by http://e4rat.sourceforge.net/
472 * add support for /bin/mount -s
474 * GC unreferenced jobs (such as .device jobs)
476 * write blog stories about:
477 - hwdb: what belongs into it, lsusb
478 - enabling dbus services
480 - how to make changes to sysctl and sysfs attributes
482 - how to pass throw-away units to systemd, or dynamically change properties of existing units
483 - how to integrate cgconfig and suchlike with systemd
484 - testing with Harald's awesome test kit
486 - how to develop against journal browsing APIs
487 - the journal HTTP iface
488 - non-cgroup resource management
489 - dynamic resource management with cgroups
490 - refreshed, longer missions statement
491 - celendar time events
493 * allow port=0 in .socket units
495 * support systemd.mask= on the kernel command line.
497 * reuse mkdtemp namespace dirs in /tmp?
499 * recreate systemd's D-Bus private socket file on SIGUSR2
501 * Support --test based on current system state
503 * investigate whether the gnome pty helper should be moved into systemd, to provide cgroup support.
505 * maybe introduce ExecRestartPre=
507 * dot output for --test showing the 'initial transaction'
509 * port over to LISTEN_FDS/LISTEN_PID:
510 - rpcbind (/var/run/rpcbind.sock!) HAVEPATCH
514 - libvirtd (/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock-ro)
515 - bluetoothd (/var/run/sdp! @/org/bluez/audio!)
518 * fingerprint.target, wireless.target, gps.target, netdevice.target
520 * io priority during initialization

529 - allow specification of socket mode/umask when allocating DBusServer
530 - allow disabling of fd passing when connecting a AF_UNIX connection
531 - allow disabling of UID passing for AUTH EXTERNAL
532 - always pass cred data along each message
533 - teach dbus to activate all services it finds in /etc/systemd/services/org-*.service
535 * fix alsa mixer restore to not print error when no config is stored
537 * make cryptsetup lower --iter-time
539 * patch kernel for xattr support in /dev, /proc/, /sys?
541 * NTP: the kernel's 11-minutes-mode syncs the system time to the RTC, but only
542 in an ~30 minutes window. It does not adjust larger differences. Find a way
543 to tell the kernel, to always do a full time sync when the RTC is in UTC and
544 we are in 11-minutes-mode. When we trust the system time to NTP we also want
547 * kernel: add device_type = "fb", "fbcon" to class "graphics"
550 - use conf_parser for bootchart.conf
551 - change config options to CamelCase
555 * look for close() vs. close_nointr() vs. close_nointr_nofail()
557 * check for strerror(r) instead of strerror(-r)
559 * Use PR_SET_PROCTITLE_AREA if it becomes available in the kernel
561 * %m in printf() instead of strerror(errno);
565 * set_put(), hashmap_put() return values check. i.e. == 0 doesn't free()!
567 * use secure_getenv() instead of getenv() where appropriate
569 * link up selected blog stories from man pages and unit files Documentation= fields
571 Scheduled for removal or fixing:
573 * xxxOverridable dependencies (probably: fix)
