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

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

268 * fix utmp for console logins in containers
270 * Add pretty name for seats in logind
272 * ConditionSecurity= should learn about IMA
274 * Auke: merge Auke's bootchart
278 * udev systemd unify:
279 - strpcpy(), strpcpyl(), strscpy(), strscpyl()
280 - utf8 validator code
281 - now() vs. now_usec()
283 * udev: remove network interface renaming, sleep and retry logic, we do
284 no support renaming of interfaces in the conflicting kernel
287 * udev: find a way to tell udev to not cancel firmware requests when running in initramfs
289 * udev: scsi_id -> sg3_utils -> kill scsi_id
291 * udev: add trigger --subsystem-match=usb/usb_device device
293 * allow configuration of console width/height in vconsole.conf
295 * cleanup syslog 'priority' vs. 'level' wording
297 * dbus upstream still refers to dbus.target and shouldn't
299 * 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
301 * support container_ttys=
303 * introduce mix of BindTo and Requisite
305 * journalctl: show multiline log messages sanely, expand tabs, and show all valid utf8 messages
307 * add DeleteSocketsOnStop=yes|no option to socket units
309 * journal: store euid in journal if it differs from uid
311 * There's currently no way to cancel fsck (used to be possible via C-c or c on the console)
313 * journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the componets would fit
315 * add command to systemctl to plot dependency graph as tree (see rhbz 795365)
317 * add option to sockets to avoid activation. Instead just drop packets/connections, see http://cyberelk.net/tim/2012/02/15/portreserve-systemd-solution/
319 * default unix qlen is too small (10). bump sysctl? add sockopt?
321 * Possibly, detect whether SysV init scripts can do reloading by looking for "echo Usage:" lines
323 * figure out whether we should leave dbus around during shutdown
325 * dbus: in fedora, make the machine a symlink to /etc/machine-id
327 * dbus: move dbus to early boot
329 * journald: reuse XZ context
331 * logind: add equivalent to sd_pid_get_owner_uid() to the D-Bus API
333 * journal: API for looking for retrieving "all values of this field"
335 * journal: deal nicely with byte-by-byte copied files, especially regards header

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

483 * add systemctl switch to dump transaction without executing it
485 * drop cap bounding set in readahead and other services
491 - natively watch for dbus-*.service symlinks (PENDING)
492 - allow specification of socket mode/umask when allocating DBusServer
493 - allow disabling of fd passing when connecting a AF_UNIX connection
494 - allow disabling of UID passing for AUTH EXTERNAL
495 - always pass cred data along each message
497 * fix alsa mixer restore to not print error when no config is stored
499 * gnome-shell python script/glxinfo/is-accelerated must die
501 * make cryptsetup lower --iter-time
503 * patch kernel for xattr support in /dev, /proc/, /sys and /sys/fs/cgroup?
505 * NTP: the kernel's 11-minutes-mode syncs the system time to the RTC, but only
506 in an ~30 minutes window. It does not adjust larger differences. Find a way
507 to tell the kernel, to always do a full time sync when the RTC is in UTC and
508 we are in 11-minutes-mode. When we trust the system time to NTP we also want
511 * kernel: add device_type = "fb", "fbcon" to class "graphics"
515 * look for close() vs. close_nointr() vs. close_nointr_nofail()
517 * check for strerror(r) instead of strerror(-r)
519 * Use PR_SET_PROCTITLE_AREA if it becomes available in the kernel
521 * %m in printf() instead of strerror(errno);
525 * set_put(), hashmap_put() return values check. i.e. == 0 doesn't free()!
527 * use secure_getenv() instead of getenv() where appropriate
529 Scheduled for removal or fixing:
531 * xxxOverridable dependencies (probably: fix)
533 * support for early-boot SysV services (definitely: remove)
