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 * add "provisioning" instructions to setup an empty /etc + /var
22 - used to setup a new container from a shared /usr
23 - superset of tmpfiles model
24 - instructions shipped by packages and stored in /usr/lib/
25 - compose /etc/passwd and /etc/group, copy files
26 - able to create uid + gid used by packages, for file ownership
28 * make repeated alt-ctrl-del presses printing a dump, or even force a reboot without
29 waiting for the timeout
31 * currently x-systemd.timeout is lost in the initrd, since crypttab is copied into dracut, but fstab isn't
33 * WorkingDirectory: support env var replacements like in ExecStart= so that people can use $HOME
35 * refuse boot if /etc/machine-id is not useful
37 * nspawn: consider changing users for -u with su, so that NSS resolving works correctly
39 * nspawn: implement personality changes a la linux32(8)
41 * nspawn: reset all aux groups
43 * cryptsetup-generator: warn if the password files are world-readable
45 * cryptsetup-generator: add RequiresMountsFor= to cryptseup service files referencing a file, similar for devices
47 * cryptsetup-generator: allow specification of passwords in crypttab itself
49 * document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fileds in
50 [Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
52 * need to update LGPL2.1 text to newest version (with updated FSF address)
54 * allow users from "wheel" to start/stop services
56 * systemctl: when powering down/suspending check for inhibitors, and warn.
58 * instantiated [Install] for target units
59 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54377
61 * support *static* (/run) hibernate inhibitors. All rpm -i actions should completely prevent any
62 sort of hibernate action until the next reboot. If the kernel or any other base tool is replaced
63 by rpm, the resume path might fail, the for resume needed kernel might even be uninstalled, and
64 the whole situation leads directly to data loss.
66 * move debug shell to tty6 and make sure this doesn't break the gettys on tty6
68 * move cryptsetup key caching into kernel keyctl?
69 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54982
71 * make nspawn work without terminal
73 * hw watchdog: optionally try to use the preset watchdog timeout instead of always overriding it
74 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54712
76 * after deserializing sockets in socket.c we should reapply sockopts and things
78 * does vasprintf advance the struct vaargs? http://pastie.org/pastes/4712773/text
80 * do shutdown audit/utmp msgs inside of PID 1, get rid of systemd-update-utmp-runlevel
82 * make timer units go away after they elapsed
84 * http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2012-September/006502.html
86 * come up with a nice way to write queue/read_ahead_kb for a block device without interfering with readahead
88 * journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
90 * move PID 1 segfaults to /var/lib/systemd/coredump?
92 * Document word splitting syntax for ExecStart= and friends
94 * when writing journal entries order field items by their address to improve speed on rotating media
96 * create /sbin/init symlinks from the build system
98 * Query Paul Moore about relabelling socket fds while they are open
100 * move keymaps to /usr/lib/... rather than /usr/lib/udev/...
102 * journald: check whether it is OK if the client can still modify delivered journal entries
106 * json: properly serialize multiple fields with the same name per entry
108 * journal live copy, based on libneon (client) and libmicrohttpd
110 * document in wiki json serialization
112 * system-wide seccomp filter
114 * ability to pass fds into systemd
116 * system.conf should have controls for cgroups
118 * bind mount read-only the cgroup tree higher than than nspawn
120 * currently system services appear not to generate core dumps...
122 * wall messages for shutdown should move to logind
124 * allow writing multiple conditions in unit files on one line
126 * 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
128 * explore multiple service instances per listening socket idea
130 * 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.
132 * maybe make systemd-detect-virt suid? or use fscaps?
134 * shutdown: don't read-only mount anything when running in container
136 * nspawn: --read-only is not applied recursively to submounts
138 * MountFlags=shared acts as MountFlags=slave right now.
140 * ReadOnlyDirectories= is not applied recursively to submounts
142 * drop PID 1 reloading, only do reexecing (difficult: Reload()
143 currently is properly synchronous, Reexec() is weird, because we
144 can't delay the response properly until we are back, so instead of
145 being properly synchronous we just keep open the fd and close it
146 when done. That means clients don't get a succesful method reply,
147 but much rather a disconnect on success.
149 * document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
151 * remember which condition failed for services, not just the fact that something failed
153 * use opterr = 0 for all getopt tools
155 * properly handle loop back mounts via fstab, especially regards to fsck/passno
157 * allow services with no ExecStart= but with an ExecStop=
159 * add proper journal support to "systemctl --user status ..."
161 * add _SYSTEMD_USER_UNIT= field to journal entries
163 * dracut-shutdown needs to be ordered before unmounting /boot
165 * initialize the hostname from the fs label of /, if /etc/hostname does not exist?
167 * 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.
169 * rename "userspace" to "core-os"
171 * systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
173 * syscall filter: add knowledge about compat syscalls
175 * syscall filter: don't enforce no new privs?
177 * syscall filter: option to return EPERM rather than SIGSYS?
179 * syscall filter: port to libseccomp
181 * logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
183 * systemd-analyze post-boot is broken for initrd
185 * man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
187 * .device aliases need to be implemented with the "following" logic, probably.
189 * refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
191 * load-fragment: when loading a unit file via a chain of symlinks
192 verify that it isn't masked via any of the names traversed.
194 * journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
199 * introduce Type=pid-file
201 * systemctl list-unit-files appears to be broken for symlinked units in /usr/lib
203 * maybe allow services with ExecStop= set, but no ExecStart=?
205 * efi: implement /forcefsck as uefi variables thus not requiring file system altering to trigger a file system check
207 * efi: honour language efi variables for default language selection
209 * efi: honour timezone efi variables for default timezone selection
211 * efi: automatically mount EFI partition to /boot if no such entry exists in /etc/fstab and /boot is empty
212 gummiboot exports the EFI system partion (ESP) device:
213 /sys/firmware/efi/vars/LoaderDeviceIdentifier-4a67b082-0a4c-41cf-b6c7-440b29bb8c4f/data
214 Acpi(PNP0A03,0)/Pci(1F|2)/?/HD(Part1,Sig1FCBC57F-4BFC-4C2B-91A3-9C84FBCD9AF1)
215 '/' is the separator for the device path list
216 HD(Part1,Sig1FCBC57F-4BFC-4C2B-91A3-9C84FBCD9AF1) contains the GPT UUID of the ESP
218 * read the bootloader performance data (raw TSC) in systemd-analyze
219 /sys/firmware/efi/vars/LoaderTicksExec-4a67b082-0a4c-41cf-b6c7-440b29bb8c4f/data
221 /sys/firmware/efi/vars/LoaderTicksInit-4a67b082-0a4c-41cf-b6c7-440b29bb8c4f/data
223 /sys/firmware/efi/vars/LoaderTicksStartMenu-4a67b082-0a4c-41cf-b6c7-440b29bb8c4f/data
224 (only set if the menu was active)
226 * change Requires=basic.target to RequisiteOverride=basic.target
228 * support rd.luks.allow-discards= kernel cmdline params in cryptsetup generator
230 * systemctl: when stopping a service which has triggres and warning about it actually check the TriggeredBy= deps fields
232 * nspawn: make use of device cgroup contrller by default
234 * drop accountsservice's StandardOutput=syslog and Type=dbus fields
236 * when breaking cycles drop sysv services first, then services from /run, then from /etc, then from /usr
238 * readahead: when bumping /sys readahead variable save mtime and compare later to detect changes
240 * (attempt to) make Debianites happy:
241 - implement .d/ auto includes for unit files
242 - add syntax to reset ExecStart= lists (and similar)
244 * move passno parsing to fstab generator
246 * improve !/proc/*/loginuid situation: make /proc/*/loginuid less dependent on CONFIG_AUDIT,
247 or use the users cgroup information when /proc/*/loginuid is not available.
249 * pam_systemd: try to get old session id from cgroup, if audit sessionid cannot be determined
251 * pam: when leaving a session explicitly exclude the ReleaseSession() caller process from the killing spree
253 * maybe introduce ~/.config/locale.conf and apply it within PAM
255 * readahead: make use of EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT, as used by http://e4rat.sourceforge.net/
257 * automount: implement expire
259 * logind: auto-suspend, auto-shutdown:
260 IdleAction=(none|suspend|opportunistic|hibernate|poweroff)
262 SessionIdleMode=(explicit|ignore|login)
263 ForceShutdown=(yes|no)
265 * services which create their own subcgroups break cgroup-empty notification (needs to be fixed in the kernel)

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

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

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