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 * localectl: add listing support for X11 keymaps, by parsing /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/xorg.lst
24 * libunwind support for coredump pattern hook, and includes this in
25 the message for coredumps. After all, libunwind is now capable to
26 unwind coredumps since a few weeks ago. This probably requires that
27 we have nice support for multi-line messages on display in logs-show.c.
29 * coredumpctl: show dates for coredumps
31 * coredumpctl: add gdb command that invokes gdb on the selected coredump an binary in one go
33 * figure out relation of --all and --full in the various tools
35 * journal: when writing journal auto-rotate if time jumps backwards
37 * introduce new "journal" group in place of adm? introduce groups for the various mini daemons?
39 * journal: add a setgid "adm" utility to invoke from libsystemd-journal, which passes fds via STDOUT and does PK access
41 * link up selected blog stories from man pages?
43 * journactl: support negative filtering, i.e. FOOBAR!="waldo"
45 * drop header/footer from systemctl --failed output if there are no entries shown, print nice message instead, and hook that into ExecStartPre of rescue.service/emergency.service
47 * add libsystemd-password or so to query passwords during boot using the password agent logic
49 * journal: when rotating, copy over old acls/access mode
51 * journal: document why we do not give ownership to journal files to the user that created them but use FS ACLs for that
53 * journal: send out marker messages every now and then, and immediately sync with fdatasync() afterwards, in order to have hourly guaranteed syncs.
55 * 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
57 * 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.
59 * 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().
61 * fedup: add --unit to systemctl switch-root somehow
62 * fedup: don't delete initrd on switch-root
65 * journal: find a way to allow dropping history early, based on priority, other rules
67 * journal: When used on NFS, check payload hashes
69 * journal: When used on NFS make sure wake up sd_journal_wait() every 2s, to handle missing inotify
71 * document that people can use file system ACLs to manage access to journal files, with example
73 * don't show cgroup in "systemctl status" if empty/non-existant, especially for foreign .mount units
75 * timedated: export boolean that clarifies whether NTP is even available
77 * timedated: refuse time changes when NTP is on
79 * clean up date formatting and parsing so that all absolute/relative timestamps we format can also be parsed
81 * introduce hybrid-sleep.target
83 * document unit_name_mangle()
85 * add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
87 * introduce generic AUGMENT_PID=, AUGMENT_DEVICE= fields
89 * deal with sendmail/postfix exclusivity
91 * systemctl enable: improve the success messages (i.e. more human readable, less shell-like)
93 * systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into doesn't exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
95 * on shutdown: move utmp, wall, audit logic all into PID 1 itself, get rid of systemd-update-utmp-runlevel
97 * add "provisioning" instructions to setup an empty /etc + /var
98 - used to setup a new container from a shared /usr
99 - superset of tmpfiles model
100 - instructions shipped by packages and stored in /usr/lib/
101 - compose /etc/passwd and /etc/group, copy files
102 - able to create uid + gid used by packages, for file ownership
104 * make repeated alt-ctrl-del presses printing a dump, or even force a reboot without
105 waiting for the timeout
107 * high level net_prio setting in execution context
109 * Introduce journalctl -b <nr> to show journal messages of a previous boot
111 * hostnamed: before returning information from /etc/machine-info.conf check the modification data and reread. Similar for localed, ...
113 * currently x-systemd.timeout is lost in the initrd, since crypttab is copied into dracut, but fstab isn't
115 * WorkingDirectory: support env var replacements like in ExecStart= so that people can use $HOME
117 * refuse boot if /etc/machine-id is not useful
119 * nspawn: consider changing users for -u with su, so that NSS resolving works correctly
121 * nspawn: implement personality changes a la linux32(8)
123 * nspawn: reset all aux groups
125 * cryptsetup-generator: warn if the password files are world-readable
127 * cryptsetup-generator: add RequiresMountsFor= to cryptseup service files referencing a file, similar for devices
129 * cryptsetup-generator: allow specification of passwords in crypttab itself
131 * document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fileds in
132 [Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
134 * need to update LGPL2.1 text to newest version (with updated FSF address)
136 * systemctl: when powering down/suspending check for inhibitors, and warn.
138 * instantiated [Install] for target units
139 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54377
141 * support *static* (/run) hibernate inhibitors. All rpm -i actions should completely prevent any
142 sort of hibernate action until the next reboot. If the kernel or any other base tool is replaced
143 by rpm, the resume path might fail, the for resume needed kernel might even be uninstalled, and
144 the whole situation leads directly to data loss.
146 * move debug shell to tty6 and make sure this doesn't break the gettys on tty6
148 * move cryptsetup key caching into kernel keyctl?
149 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54982
151 * make nspawn work without terminal
153 * hw watchdog: optionally try to use the preset watchdog timeout instead of always overriding it
154 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54712
156 * after deserializing sockets in socket.c we should reapply sockopts and things
158 * make timer units go away after they elapsed
160 * http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2012-September/006502.html
162 * come up with a nice way to write queue/read_ahead_kb for a block device without interfering with readahead
164 * journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
166 * move PID 1 segfaults to /var/lib/systemd/coredump?
168 * Document word splitting syntax for ExecStart= and friends
170 * create /sbin/init symlinks from the build system
172 * Query Paul Moore about relabelling socket fds while they are open
174 * move keymaps to /usr/lib/... rather than /usr/lib/udev/...
176 * journald: check whether it is OK if the client can still modify delivered journal entries
178 * journal live copy, based on libneon (client) and libmicrohttpd
180 * system-wide seccomp filter
182 * ability to pass fds into systemd
184 * system.conf should have controls for cgroups
186 * bind mount read-only the cgroup tree higher than than nspawn
188 * allow writing multiple conditions in unit files on one line
190 * explore multiple service instances per listening socket idea
192 * 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.
194 * shutdown: don't read-only mount anything when running in container
196 * nspawn: --read-only is not applied recursively to submounts
198 * MountFlags=shared acts as MountFlags=slave right now.
200 * ReadOnlyDirectories= is not applied recursively to submounts
202 * drop PID 1 reloading, only do reexecing (difficult: Reload()
203 currently is properly synchronous, Reexec() is weird, because we
204 can't delay the response properly until we are back, so instead of
205 being properly synchronous we just keep open the fd and close it
206 when done. That means clients don't get a succesful method reply,
207 but much rather a disconnect on success.
209 * document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
211 * remember which condition failed for services, not just the fact that something failed
213 * use opterr = 0 for all getopt tools
215 * properly handle loop back mounts via fstab, especially regards to fsck/passno
217 * allow services with no ExecStart= but with an ExecStop=
219 * add proper journal support to "systemctl --user status ..."
221 * add _SYSTEMD_USER_UNIT= field to journal entries
223 * dracut-shutdown needs to be ordered before unmounting /boot
225 * initialize the hostname from the fs label of /, if /etc/hostname does not exist?
227 * rename "userspace" to "core-os"
229 * systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
231 * syscall filter: add knowledge about compat syscalls
233 * syscall filter: don't enforce no new privs?
235 * syscall filter: option to return EPERM rather than SIGSYS?
237 * syscall filter: port to libseccomp
239 * logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
241 * systemd-analyze post-boot is broken for initrd
243 * man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
245 * .device aliases need to be implemented with the "following" logic, probably.
247 * refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
249 * load-fragment: when loading a unit file via a chain of symlinks
250 verify that it isn't masked via any of the names traversed.
252 * journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
257 * introduce Type=pid-file
259 * maybe allow services with ExecStop= set, but no ExecStart=?
261 * efi: implement /forcefsck as uefi variables thus not requiring file system altering to trigger a file system check
263 * efi: honour language efi variables for default language selection
265 * efi: honour timezone efi variables for default timezone selection
267 * efi: automatically mount EFI partition to /boot if no such entry exists in /etc/fstab and /boot is empty
268 gummiboot exports the EFI system partion (ESP) device:
269 /sys/firmware/efi/vars/LoaderDeviceIdentifier-4a67b082-0a4c-41cf-b6c7-440b29bb8c4f/data
270 Acpi(PNP0A03,0)/Pci(1F|2)/?/HD(Part1,Sig1FCBC57F-4BFC-4C2B-91A3-9C84FBCD9AF1)
271 '/' is the separator for the device path list
272 HD(Part1,Sig1FCBC57F-4BFC-4C2B-91A3-9C84FBCD9AF1) contains the GPT UUID of the ESP
274 * read the bootloader performance data (raw TSC) in systemd-analyze
275 /sys/firmware/efi/vars/LoaderTicksExec-4a67b082-0a4c-41cf-b6c7-440b29bb8c4f/data
277 /sys/firmware/efi/vars/LoaderTicksInit-4a67b082-0a4c-41cf-b6c7-440b29bb8c4f/data
279 /sys/firmware/efi/vars/LoaderTicksStartMenu-4a67b082-0a4c-41cf-b6c7-440b29bb8c4f/data
280 (only set if the menu was active)
282 * change Requires=basic.target to RequisiteOverride=basic.target
284 * support rd.luks.allow-discards= kernel cmdline params in cryptsetup generator
286 * nspawn: make use of device cgroup contrller by default
288 * drop accountsservice's StandardOutput=syslog and Type=dbus fields
290 * when breaking cycles drop sysv services first, then services from /run, then from /etc, then from /usr
292 * readahead: when bumping /sys readahead variable save mtime and compare later to detect changes
294 * (attempt to) make Debianites happy:
295 - implement .d/ auto includes for unit files
296 - add syntax to reset ExecStart= lists (and similar)
298 * move passno parsing to fstab generator
300 * improve !/proc/*/loginuid situation: make /proc/*/loginuid less dependent on CONFIG_AUDIT,
301 or use the users cgroup information when /proc/*/loginuid is not available.
303 * pam_systemd: try to get old session id from cgroup, if audit sessionid cannot be determined
305 * pam: when leaving a session explicitly exclude the ReleaseSession() caller process from the killing spree
307 * maybe introduce ~/.config/locale.conf and apply it within PAM
309 * readahead: make use of EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT, as used by http://e4rat.sourceforge.net/
311 * automount: implement expire
313 * logind: auto-suspend, auto-shutdown:
314 IdleAction=(none|suspend|opportunistic|hibernate|poweroff)
316 SessionIdleMode=(explicit|ignore|login)
317 ForceShutdown=(yes|no)
319 * services which create their own subcgroups break cgroup-empty notification (needs to be fixed in the kernel)
321 * don't delete /tmp/systemd-namespace-* before a process is gone down
323 * vconsole: implement setterm -store -foreground xxx --background zzz
325 * ExecOnFailure=/usr/bin/foo
327 * fedora: make sshd and pam_loginuid work in nspawn containers
329 * fix utmp for console logins in containers
331 * Add pretty name for seats in logind
333 * ConditionSecurity= should learn about IMA
335 * Auke: merge Auke's bootchart
339 * udev systemd unify:
340 - strpcpy(), strpcpyl(), strscpy(), strscpyl()
341 - utf8 validator code
342 - now() vs. now_usec()
344 * udev: remove network interface renaming, sleep and retry logic, we do
345 no support renaming of interfaces in the conflicting kernel
348 * udev: find a way to tell udev to not cancel firmware requests when running in initramfs
350 * udev: scsi_id -> sg3_utils -> kill scsi_id
352 * udev: add trigger --subsystem-match=usb/usb_device device
354 * allow configuration of console width/height in vconsole.conf
356 * cleanup syslog 'priority' vs. 'level' wording
358 * dbus upstream still refers to dbus.target and shouldn't
360 * 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
362 * support container_ttys=
364 * introduce mix of BindTo and Requisite
366 * journalctl: show multiline log messages sanely, expand tabs, and show all valid utf8 messages
368 * add DeleteSocketsOnStop=yes|no option to socket units
370 * journal: store euid in journal if it differs from uid
372 * There's currently no way to cancel fsck (used to be possible via C-c or c on the console)
374 * journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the componets would fit
376 * add command to systemctl to plot dependency graph as tree (see rhbz 795365)
378 * add option to sockets to avoid activation. Instead just drop packets/connections, see http://cyberelk.net/tim/2012/02/15/portreserve-systemd-solution/
380 * default unix qlen is too small (10). bump sysctl? add sockopt?
382 * figure out whether we should leave dbus around during shutdown
384 * dbus: in fedora, make the machine a symlink to /etc/machine-id

402 * support crash reporting operation modes (https://live.gnome.org/GnomeOS/Design/Whiteboards/ProblemReporting)
404 * clean up session cgroups that remain after logout (think sshd), but eventually run empty
406 * support "systemctl stop foobar@.service" to stop all units matching a certain template
408 * logind: allow showing logout dialog from system
410 * document that %% can be used to write % in a string that is specifier extended
412 * when an instanced service exits, remove its parent cgroup too if possible.
414 * default to actual 32bit PIDs, via /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max
416 * be able to specify a forced restart of service A where service B depends on, in case B
417 needs to be auto-respawned?
419 * Something is wrong with symlink handling of "autovt@.service" in "systemctl list-unit-files"
421 * when a bus name of a service disappears from the bus make sure to queue further activation requests
423 * something like ConditionExec= or ExecStartPre= without failure state
425 * tmpfiles: apply "x" on "D" too (see patch from William Douglas)
427 * don't set $HOME in services unless requested
429 * hide PAM/TCPWrap options in fragment parser when compile time disabled
431 * when we automatically restart a service, ensure we restart its rdeps, too.
433 * allow Type=simple with PIDFile=
434 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=723942
436 * move PAM code into its own binary
438 * logind: spawn user@..service on login
440 * logind: non-local X11 server handling
442 * implement Register= switch in .socket units to enable registration
443 in Avahi, RPC and other socket registration services.
445 * make sure systemd-ask-password-wall does not shutdown systemd-ask-password-console too early
447 * readahead: use BTRFS_IOC_DEFRAG_RANGE instead of BTRFS_IOC_DEFRAG ioctl, with START_IO
449 * readahead: check whether a btrfs volume includes ssd by checking mount flag "ssd"
451 * support sd_notify() style notification when reload begins (RELOADING=1), reload is finished (READY=1), and add ReloadSignal= then to use in combination
453 * support sd_notify() style notification when shutting down, to make auto-exit bus services work (STOPPING=1)
455 * verify that the AF_UNIX sockets of a service in the fs still exist
456 when we start a service in order to avoid confusion when a user
457 assumes starting a service is enough to make it accessible
459 * Make it possible to set the keymap independently from the font on
460 the kernel cmdline. Right now setting one resets also the other.
462 * move nss-myhostname into systemd
464 * and a dbus call to generate target from current state
466 * drop /.readahead on bigger upgrades with yum
468 * add support for /bin/mount -s
470 * GC unreferenced jobs (such as .device jobs)
472 * write blog stories about:
473 - hwdb: what belongs into it, lsusb
474 - enabling dbus services
476 - how to make changes to sysctl and sysfs attributes
478 - how to pass throw-away units to systemd, or dynamically change properties of existing units
479 - how to integrate cgconfig and suchlike with systemd
480 - testing with Harald's awesome test kit
482 - how to develop against journal browsing APIs
483 - the journal HTTP iface
484 - non-cgroup resource management
486 * allow port=0 in .socket units
488 * move readahead files into /var (look for them with .path units?)
490 * teach dbus to activate all services it finds in /etc/systemd/services/org-*.service
492 * support systemd.mask= on the kernel command line.
494 * when key file cannot be found, read it from kbd in cryptsetup
496 * reuse mkdtemp namespace dirs in /tmp?
498 * recreate systemd's D-Bus private socket file on SIGUSR2
500 * Support --test based on current system state
502 * investigate whether the gnome pty helper should be moved into systemd, to provide cgroup support.
504 * maybe introduce ExecRestartPre=
506 * configurable jitter for timer events
508 * timer events with system resume
510 * dot output for --test showing the 'initial transaction'
512 * calendar time support in timer:
513 https://docs.google.com/document/pub?id=1bAMyFAjWLpzR3GTDYdgj5FWRMxoZiWw5zmUHEtvdHKA
515 * writable cgroups dbus properties for live changes
517 * port over to LISTEN_FDS/LISTEN_PID:
518 - rpcbind (/var/run/rpcbind.sock!) HAVEPATCH
522 - libvirtd (/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock-ro)
523 - bluetoothd (/var/run/sdp! @/org/bluez/audio!)
526 * fingerprint.target, wireless.target, gps.target, netdevice.target
528 * io priority during initialization
530 * systemctl list-jobs - show dependencies
532 * add systemctl switch to dump transaction without executing it
534 * drop cap bounding set in readahead and other services
540 - natively watch for dbus-*.service symlinks (PENDING)
541 - allow specification of socket mode/umask when allocating DBusServer
542 - allow disabling of fd passing when connecting a AF_UNIX connection
543 - allow disabling of UID passing for AUTH EXTERNAL
544 - always pass cred data along each message
546 * fix alsa mixer restore to not print error when no config is stored
548 * gnome-shell python script/glxinfo/is-accelerated must die
550 * make cryptsetup lower --iter-time
552 * patch kernel for xattr support in /dev, /proc/, /sys and /sys/fs/cgroup?
554 * NTP: the kernel's 11-minutes-mode syncs the system time to the RTC, but only
555 in an ~30 minutes window. It does not adjust larger differences. Find a way
556 to tell the kernel, to always do a full time sync when the RTC is in UTC and
557 we are in 11-minutes-mode. When we trust the system time to NTP we also want
560 * kernel: add device_type = "fb", "fbcon" to class "graphics"
564 * look for close() vs. close_nointr() vs. close_nointr_nofail()
566 * check for strerror(r) instead of strerror(-r)
568 * Use PR_SET_PROCTITLE_AREA if it becomes available in the kernel
570 * %m in printf() instead of strerror(errno);
574 * set_put(), hashmap_put() return values check. i.e. == 0 doesn't free()!
576 * use secure_getenv() instead of getenv() where appropriate
578 Scheduled for removal or fixing:
580 * xxxOverridable dependencies (probably: fix)
582 * support for early-boot SysV services (definitely: remove)
