2 * swap units that are activated by one name but shown in the kernel under another are semi-broken
4 * make anaconda write timeout=0 for encrypted devices
6 * make sure timeouts are applied to Type=oneshot services.
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.
18 * suspend/hibernate/hybrid support, auto-suspend logic with idle hint
20 * udev: unify selinux stuff with systemd
22 * udev: find a way to tell udev to not cancel firmware requests when running in initramfs
24 * udev: scsi_id -> sg3_utils -> kill scsi_id
26 * udev: add trigger --subsystem-match=usb/usb_device device
29 - use symbol versioning
30 - remove deprecated symbols
31 - return object with *_unref()
32 - kill: udev_monitor_from_socket()
33 - kill: udev_queue_get_failed_list_entry()
34 - kill: udev_get_{dev,sys,run}_path()
36 * allow configuration of console width/height in vconsole.conf
38 * PrivateTmp should apply to both /tmp and /var/tmp
40 * fstab should take priority over units in /usr
42 * cleanup syslog 'priority' vs. 'level' wording
44 * journal: if mmap() fails for mapping window try to unmap a a few older maps
46 * dbus upstream still refers to dbus.target and shouldn't
48 * 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
50 * add man page documenting all kernel cmdline options, including stuff like fsck.mode=
52 * show getty in container mode, not sulogin
54 * support container_ttys=
56 * journald: make configurable "store-on-var", "store-on-run", "dont-store", "auto"
57 (store-persistent, store-volatile?)
59 * introduce mix of BindTo and Requisite
61 * journalctl: show multiline log messages sanely, expand tabs, and show all valid utf8 messages
63 * introduce NeedsMounts= or so to create .mount dependencies automatically for a specific path
65 * add DeleteSocketsOnStop=yes|no option to socket units
67 * journal: store euid in journal if it differs from uid
69 * support chrony in addition to ntpd in timedated
71 * document crypttab(5)
73 * There's currently no way to cancel fsck (used to be possible via C-c or c on the console)
75 * keep an eye on https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=670100
77 * journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the componets would fit
79 * add command to systemctl to plot dependency graph as tree (see rhbz 795365)
81 * make logind reserve tty10 or so for text logins, so that gdm never picks it up
83 * add option to sockets to avoid activation. Instead just drop packets/connections, see http://cyberelk.net/tim/2012/02/15/portreserve-systemd-solution/
85 * default unix qlen is too small (10). bump sysctl? add sockopt?
87 * support units generated by a generator and placed in /run/systemd/system/; the directory is
88 currently ignored because it is empty before the generatores are executed
90 * Possibly, detect whether SysV init scripts can do reloading by looking for "echo Usage:" lines
92 * figure out whether we should leave dbus around during shutdown
94 * add interface to allow immediate rotation of the journal, and even flushing.
96 * dbus: in fedora, make the machine a symlink to /etc/machine-id
98 * journald: reuse XZ context
100 * logind: add equivalent to sd_pid_get_owner_uid() to the D-Bus API
102 * write RPM spec macros for presets

110 * journal: API for looking for retrieving "all values of this field"
112 * journal: deal nicely with byte-by-byte copied files, especially regards header
114 * journal: local deserializer of export mode, http server
116 * journal: message catalog
118 * journal: forward-secure signatures
120 * document the exit codes when services fail before they are exec()ed
122 * rework namespace support, don't use pivot_root, and mount things after creating the namespace, not before
124 * systemctl journal command
126 * journalctl: --cursor support, priority filtering
128 * systemctl status: show coredumps
130 * systemctl status: show whether journal was rotated since service started
132 * save coredump in Windows/Mozilla minidump format
134 * support crash reporting operation modes (https://live.gnome.org/GnomeOS/Design/Whiteboards/ProblemReporting)
136 * journal: allow per-entry control on /var vs. /run (think incognito browser mode)
138 * clean up session cgroups that remain after logout (think sshd), but eventually run empty
140 * support "systemctl stop foobar@.service" to stop all units matching a certain template
144 * logind: allow showing logout dialog from system
146 * document that %% can be used to write % in a string that is specifier extended
148 * when an instanced service exits, remove its parent cgroup too if possible.
150 * as Tom Gundersen pointed out there's a always a dep loop if people use crypto file systems with random keys
152 * automatically escape unit names passed on the service (i.e. think "systemctl start serial-getty.service@serial/by-path/jshdfjsdfhkjh" being automatically escaped as necessary.
154 * if we can not get user quota for tmpfs, mount a separate tmpfs instance
155 for every user in /run/user/$USER with a configured maximum size
157 * default to actual 32bit PIDs, via /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max
159 * add an option to make mounts private/shareable and so on, enable this for root by default
161 * be able to specify a forced restart of service A where service B depends on, in case B
162 needs to be auto-respawned?
164 * Something is wrong with symlink handling of "autovt@.service" in "systemctl list-unit-files"
166 * when a bus name of a service disappears from the bus make sure to queue further activation requests
168 * something like ConditionExec= or ExecStartPre= without failure state
170 * tmpfiles: apply "x" on "D" too (see patch from William Douglas)
172 * don't set $HOME in services unless requested
174 * hide PAM/TCPWrap options in fragment parser when compile time disabled
176 * when we automatically restart a service, ensure we restart its rdeps, too.
178 * allow Type=simple with PIDFile=
179 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=723942
181 * move PAM code into its own binary
183 * warn if the user stops a service but not its associated socket
185 * logind: spawn user@..service on login
187 * logind: non-local X11 server handling
189 * implement Register= switch in .socket units to enable registration
190 in Avahi, RPC and other socket registration services.
192 * make sure systemd-ask-password-wall does not shutdown systemd-ask-password-console too early
194 * readahead: use BTRFS_IOC_DEFRAG_RANGE instead of BTRFS_IOC_DEFRAG ioctl, with START_IO
196 * readahead: check whether a btrfs volume includes ssd by checking mount flag "ssd"
198 * support sd_notify() style notification when reload begins (RELOADING=1), reload is finished (READY=1), and add ReloadSignal= then to use in combination
200 * support sd_notify() style notification when shutting down, to make auto-exit bus services work (STOPPING=1)
202 * verify that the AF_UNIX sockets of a service in the fs still exist
203 when we start a service in order to avoid confusion when a user
204 assumes starting a service is enough to make it accessible
206 * Make it possible to set the keymap independently from the font on
207 the kernel cmdline. Right now setting one resets also the other.
209 * move nss-myhostname into systemd
211 * and a dbus call to generate target from current state
213 * drop /.readahead on bigger upgrades with yum
215 * add inode nr check to readahead to suppress preloading changed files
217 * add support for /bin/mount -s
219 * GC unreferenced jobs (such as .device jobs)
221 * when failing to start a service due to ratelimiting, try again later, if restart=always is set
223 * write blog stories about:
224 - enabling dbus services
226 - how to make changes to sysctl and sysfs attributes
228 - how to pass throw-away units to systemd, or dynamically change properties of existing units
229 - how to integrate cgconfig and suchlike with systemd
230 - resource control in systemd
232 * allow port=0 in .socket units
234 * move readahead files into /var, look for them with .path units
236 * teach dbus to activate all services it finds in /etc/systemd/services/org-*.service
238 * support systemd.mask= on the kernel command line.
240 * when key file cannot be found, read it from kbd in cryptsetup
242 * reuse mkdtemp namespace dirs in /tmp?
244 * recreate systemd's D-Bus private socket file on SIGUSR2
246 * Support --test based on current system state
248 * investigate whether the gnome pty helper should be moved into systemd, to provide cgroup support.
250 * maybe introduce ExecRestartPre=
252 * configurable jitter for timer events
254 * timer events with system resume
256 * timer events on calendar time
258 * dot output for --test showing the 'initial transaction'
260 * calendar time support in timer, iCalendar semantics for the timer stuff (RFC2445)

263 * implicitly import "defaults" settings file into all types
264 * exec settings override
265 * writable cgroups dbus properties for live changes
267 * read config fragments for all units from /lib/systemd/system/foobar.service.d/ to override/extend specific settings
269 * port over to LISTEN_FDS/LISTEN_PID:
270 - rpcbind (/var/run/rpcbind.sock!) HAVEPATCH
274 - libvirtd (/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock-ro)
275 - bluetoothd (/var/run/sdp! @/org/bluez/audio!)
278 * auditd service files
280 * fingerprint.target, wireless.target, gps.target, netdevice.target
282 * io priority during initialization
284 * systemctl list-jobs - show dependencies
286 * add systemctl switch to dump transaction without executing it
288 * drop cap bounding set in readahead and other services
294 - natively watch for dbus-*.service symlinks (PENDING)
295 - allow specification of socket mode/umask when allocating DBusServer
296 - allow disabling of fd passing when connecting a AF_UNIX connection
297 - allow disabling of UID passing for AUTH EXTERNAL
298 - always pass cred data along each message
301 PR_SET_CHILD_REAPER patch: https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/7/28/426
302 (patch in linux-next, on the way to the next kernel)
304 * fix alsa mixer restore to not print error when no config is stored
306 * gnome-shell python script/glxinfo/is-accelerated must die
308 * make cryptsetup lower --iter-time
310 * patch kernel for xattr support in /dev, /proc/, /sys and /sys/fs/cgroup?
312 * NTP: the kernel's 11-minutes-mode syncs the system time to the RTC, but only
313 in an ~30 minutes window. It does not adjust larger differences. Find a way
314 to tell the kernel, to always do a full time sync when the RTC is in UTC and
315 we are in 11-minutes-mode. When we trust the system time to NTP we also want
318 * patch kernel for cpu feature modalias for autoloading aes/kvm/...
319 (patches in linux-next, on the way to the next kernel)
321 * kernel: add device_type = "fb", "fbcon" to class "graphics"
325 * look for close() vs. close_nointr() vs. close_nointr_nofail()
327 * check for strerror(r) instead of strerror(-r)
329 * Use PR_SET_PROCTITLE_AREA if it becomes available in the kernel
331 * %m in printf() instead of strerror();
335 * set_put(), hashmap_put() return values check. i.e. == 0 doesn't free()!
