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.
22 * clean up date formatting and parsing so that all absolute/relative timestamps we format can also be parsed
24 * introduce hybrid-sleep.target
26 * _SOURCE_MONOTONIC_TIMESTAMP entries from the kernel seem to be off by 1000000
28 * document unit_name_mangle()
30 * add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
32 * introduce generic AUGMENT_PID=, AUGMENT_DEVICE= fields
34 * deal with sendmail/postfix exclusivity
36 * systemctl enable: improve the success messages
38 * systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into doesn't exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
40 * on shutdown: move utmp, wall, audit logic all into PID 1 itsel
42 * add "provisioning" instructions to setup an empty /etc + /var
43 - used to setup a new container from a shared /usr
44 - superset of tmpfiles model
45 - instructions shipped by packages and stored in /usr/lib/
46 - compose /etc/passwd and /etc/group, copy files
47 - able to create uid + gid used by packages, for file ownership
49 * make repeated alt-ctrl-del presses printing a dump, or even force a reboot without
50 waiting for the timeout
52 * make sure that the journal output from the initrd is always merged into the journalctl output even if -m is not passed.
54 * add time seeks to journalctl
56 * high level net_prio setting in execution context
58 * Introduce journalctl -b <nr> to show journal messages of a previous boot
60 * systemctl should be able to show log messages from certain privileged 3rd party daemons such as setroubleshoot
62 * hostnamed: before returning information from /etc/machine-info.conf check the modification data and reread. Similar for localed, ...
64 * currently x-systemd.timeout is lost in the initrd, since crypttab is copied into dracut, but fstab isn't
66 * WorkingDirectory: support env var replacements like in ExecStart= so that people can use $HOME
68 * refuse boot if /etc/machine-id is not useful
70 * nspawn: consider changing users for -u with su, so that NSS resolving works correctly
72 * nspawn: implement personality changes a la linux32(8)
74 * nspawn: reset all aux groups
76 * cryptsetup-generator: warn if the password files are world-readable
78 * cryptsetup-generator: add RequiresMountsFor= to cryptseup service files referencing a file, similar for devices
80 * cryptsetup-generator: allow specification of passwords in crypttab itself
82 * document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fileds in
83 [Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
85 * need to update LGPL2.1 text to newest version (with updated FSF address)
87 * allow users from "wheel" to start/stop services
89 * systemctl: when powering down/suspending check for inhibitors, and warn.
91 * instantiated [Install] for target units
92 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54377
94 * support *static* (/run) hibernate inhibitors. All rpm -i actions should completely prevent any
95 sort of hibernate action until the next reboot. If the kernel or any other base tool is replaced
96 by rpm, the resume path might fail, the for resume needed kernel might even be uninstalled, and
97 the whole situation leads directly to data loss.
99 * move debug shell to tty6 and make sure this doesn't break the gettys on tty6
101 * move cryptsetup key caching into kernel keyctl?
102 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54982
104 * make nspawn work without terminal
106 * hw watchdog: optionally try to use the preset watchdog timeout instead of always overriding it
107 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54712
109 * after deserializing sockets in socket.c we should reapply sockopts and things
111 * do shutdown audit/utmp msgs inside of PID 1, get rid of systemd-update-utmp-runlevel
113 * make timer units go away after they elapsed
115 * http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2012-September/006502.html
117 * come up with a nice way to write queue/read_ahead_kb for a block device without interfering with readahead
119 * journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
121 * move PID 1 segfaults to /var/lib/systemd/coredump?
123 * Document word splitting syntax for ExecStart= and friends
125 * when writing journal entries order field items by their address to improve speed on rotating media
127 * create /sbin/init symlinks from the build system
129 * Query Paul Moore about relabelling socket fds while they are open
131 * move keymaps to /usr/lib/... rather than /usr/lib/udev/...
133 * journald: check whether it is OK if the client can still modify delivered journal entries
137 * json: properly serialize multiple fields with the same name per entry
139 * journal live copy, based on libneon (client) and libmicrohttpd
141 * document in wiki json serialization
143 * system-wide seccomp filter
145 * ability to pass fds into systemd
147 * system.conf should have controls for cgroups
149 * bind mount read-only the cgroup tree higher than than nspawn
151 * currently system services appear not to generate core dumps...
153 * wall messages for shutdown should move to logind
155 * allow writing multiple conditions in unit files on one line
157 * 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
159 * explore multiple service instances per listening socket idea
161 * 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.
163 * maybe make systemd-detect-virt suid? or use fscaps?
165 * shutdown: don't read-only mount anything when running in container
167 * nspawn: --read-only is not applied recursively to submounts
169 * MountFlags=shared acts as MountFlags=slave right now.
171 * ReadOnlyDirectories= is not applied recursively to submounts
173 * drop PID 1 reloading, only do reexecing (difficult: Reload()
174 currently is properly synchronous, Reexec() is weird, because we
175 can't delay the response properly until we are back, so instead of
176 being properly synchronous we just keep open the fd and close it
177 when done. That means clients don't get a succesful method reply,
178 but much rather a disconnect on success.
180 * document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
182 * remember which condition failed for services, not just the fact that something failed
184 * use opterr = 0 for all getopt tools
186 * properly handle loop back mounts via fstab, especially regards to fsck/passno
188 * allow services with no ExecStart= but with an ExecStop=
190 * add proper journal support to "systemctl --user status ..."
192 * add _SYSTEMD_USER_UNIT= field to journal entries
194 * dracut-shutdown needs to be ordered before unmounting /boot
196 * initialize the hostname from the fs label of /, if /etc/hostname does not exist?
198 * 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.
200 * rename "userspace" to "core-os"
202 * systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
204 * syscall filter: add knowledge about compat syscalls
206 * syscall filter: don't enforce no new privs?
208 * syscall filter: option to return EPERM rather than SIGSYS?
210 * syscall filter: port to libseccomp
212 * logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
214 * systemd-analyze post-boot is broken for initrd
216 * man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
218 * .device aliases need to be implemented with the "following" logic, probably.
220 * refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
222 * load-fragment: when loading a unit file via a chain of symlinks
223 verify that it isn't masked via any of the names traversed.
225 * journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
230 * introduce Type=pid-file
232 * systemctl list-unit-files appears to be broken for symlinked units in /usr/lib
234 * maybe allow services with ExecStop= set, but no ExecStart=?
236 * efi: implement /forcefsck as uefi variables thus not requiring file system altering to trigger a file system check
238 * efi: honour language efi variables for default language selection
240 * efi: honour timezone efi variables for default timezone selection
242 * efi: automatically mount EFI partition to /boot if no such entry exists in /etc/fstab and /boot is empty
243 gummiboot exports the EFI system partion (ESP) device:
244 /sys/firmware/efi/vars/LoaderDeviceIdentifier-4a67b082-0a4c-41cf-b6c7-440b29bb8c4f/data
245 Acpi(PNP0A03,0)/Pci(1F|2)/?/HD(Part1,Sig1FCBC57F-4BFC-4C2B-91A3-9C84FBCD9AF1)
246 '/' is the separator for the device path list
247 HD(Part1,Sig1FCBC57F-4BFC-4C2B-91A3-9C84FBCD9AF1) contains the GPT UUID of the ESP
249 * read the bootloader performance data (raw TSC) in systemd-analyze
250 /sys/firmware/efi/vars/LoaderTicksExec-4a67b082-0a4c-41cf-b6c7-440b29bb8c4f/data
252 /sys/firmware/efi/vars/LoaderTicksInit-4a67b082-0a4c-41cf-b6c7-440b29bb8c4f/data
254 /sys/firmware/efi/vars/LoaderTicksStartMenu-4a67b082-0a4c-41cf-b6c7-440b29bb8c4f/data
255 (only set if the menu was active)
257 * change Requires=basic.target to RequisiteOverride=basic.target
259 * support rd.luks.allow-discards= kernel cmdline params in cryptsetup generator
261 * nspawn: make use of device cgroup contrller by default
263 * drop accountsservice's StandardOutput=syslog and Type=dbus fields
265 * when breaking cycles drop sysv services first, then services from /run, then from /etc, then from /usr
267 * readahead: when bumping /sys readahead variable save mtime and compare later to detect changes
269 * (attempt to) make Debianites happy:
270 - implement .d/ auto includes for unit files
271 - add syntax to reset ExecStart= lists (and similar)
273 * move passno parsing to fstab generator
275 * improve !/proc/*/loginuid situation: make /proc/*/loginuid less dependent on CONFIG_AUDIT,
276 or use the users cgroup information when /proc/*/loginuid is not available.
278 * pam_systemd: try to get old session id from cgroup, if audit sessionid cannot be determined
280 * pam: when leaving a session explicitly exclude the ReleaseSession() caller process from the killing spree
282 * maybe introduce ~/.config/locale.conf and apply it within PAM
284 * readahead: make use of EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT, as used by http://e4rat.sourceforge.net/
286 * automount: implement expire
288 * logind: auto-suspend, auto-shutdown:
289 IdleAction=(none|suspend|opportunistic|hibernate|poweroff)
291 SessionIdleMode=(explicit|ignore|login)
292 ForceShutdown=(yes|no)
294 * services which create their own subcgroups break cgroup-empty notification (needs to be fixed in the kernel)

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

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

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