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

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

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

347 * support crash reporting operation modes (https://live.gnome.org/GnomeOS/Design/Whiteboards/ProblemReporting)
349 * clean up session cgroups that remain after logout (think sshd), but eventually run empty
351 * support "systemctl stop foobar@.service" to stop all units matching a certain template
353 * logind: allow showing logout dialog from system
355 * document that %% can be used to write % in a string that is specifier extended
357 * when an instanced service exits, remove its parent cgroup too if possible.
359 * default to actual 32bit PIDs, via /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max
361 * be able to specify a forced restart of service A where service B depends on, in case B
362 needs to be auto-respawned?
364 * Something is wrong with symlink handling of "autovt@.service" in "systemctl list-unit-files"
366 * when a bus name of a service disappears from the bus make sure to queue further activation requests
368 * something like ConditionExec= or ExecStartPre= without failure state
370 * tmpfiles: apply "x" on "D" too (see patch from William Douglas)
372 * don't set $HOME in services unless requested
374 * hide PAM/TCPWrap options in fragment parser when compile time disabled
376 * when we automatically restart a service, ensure we restart its rdeps, too.
378 * allow Type=simple with PIDFile=
379 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=723942
381 * move PAM code into its own binary
383 * warn if the user stops a service but not its associated socket
385 * logind: spawn user@..service on login

390 in Avahi, RPC and other socket registration services.
392 * make sure systemd-ask-password-wall does not shutdown systemd-ask-password-console too early
394 * readahead: use BTRFS_IOC_DEFRAG_RANGE instead of BTRFS_IOC_DEFRAG ioctl, with START_IO
396 * readahead: check whether a btrfs volume includes ssd by checking mount flag "ssd"
398 * support sd_notify() style notification when reload begins (RELOADING=1), reload is finished (READY=1), and add ReloadSignal= then to use in combination
400 * support sd_notify() style notification when shutting down, to make auto-exit bus services work (STOPPING=1)
402 * verify that the AF_UNIX sockets of a service in the fs still exist
403 when we start a service in order to avoid confusion when a user
404 assumes starting a service is enough to make it accessible
406 * Make it possible to set the keymap independently from the font on
407 the kernel cmdline. Right now setting one resets also the other.
409 * move nss-myhostname into systemd
411 * and a dbus call to generate target from current state
413 * drop /.readahead on bigger upgrades with yum
415 * add support for /bin/mount -s
417 * GC unreferenced jobs (such as .device jobs)
419 * write blog stories about:
420 - enabling dbus services
422 - how to make changes to sysctl and sysfs attributes
424 - how to pass throw-away units to systemd, or dynamically change properties of existing units
425 - how to integrate cgconfig and suchlike with systemd
426 - resource control in systemd

435 * teach dbus to activate all services it finds in /etc/systemd/services/org-*.service
437 * support systemd.mask= on the kernel command line.
439 * when key file cannot be found, read it from kbd in cryptsetup
441 * reuse mkdtemp namespace dirs in /tmp?
443 * recreate systemd's D-Bus private socket file on SIGUSR2
445 * Support --test based on current system state
447 * investigate whether the gnome pty helper should be moved into systemd, to provide cgroup support.
449 * maybe introduce ExecRestartPre=
451 * configurable jitter for timer events
453 * timer events with system resume
455 * timer events on calendar time:
456 maybe use this time syntax? http://ohse.de/uwe/uschedule/uschedule.html
458 * dot output for --test showing the 'initial transaction'
460 * calendar time support in timer, iCalendar semantics for the timer stuff (RFC2445)
461 http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=99ee5315dac6211e972fa3f23bcc9a0343ff58c4
463 * implicitly import "defaults" settings file into all types
465 * writable cgroups dbus properties for live changes
467 * read config fragments for all units from /lib/systemd/system/foobar.service.d/ to override/extend specific settings
469 * port over to LISTEN_FDS/LISTEN_PID:
470 - rpcbind (/var/run/rpcbind.sock!) HAVEPATCH
474 - libvirtd (/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock-ro)
475 - bluetoothd (/var/run/sdp! @/org/bluez/audio!)
478 * fingerprint.target, wireless.target, gps.target, netdevice.target
480 * io priority during initialization
482 * systemctl list-jobs - show dependencies
484 * add systemctl switch to dump transaction without executing it
486 * drop cap bounding set in readahead and other services
492 - natively watch for dbus-*.service symlinks (PENDING)
493 - allow specification of socket mode/umask when allocating DBusServer
494 - allow disabling of fd passing when connecting a AF_UNIX connection
495 - allow disabling of UID passing for AUTH EXTERNAL
496 - always pass cred data along each message
498 * fix alsa mixer restore to not print error when no config is stored
500 * gnome-shell python script/glxinfo/is-accelerated must die
502 * make cryptsetup lower --iter-time
504 * patch kernel for xattr support in /dev, /proc/, /sys and /sys/fs/cgroup?
506 * NTP: the kernel's 11-minutes-mode syncs the system time to the RTC, but only
507 in an ~30 minutes window. It does not adjust larger differences. Find a way
508 to tell the kernel, to always do a full time sync when the RTC is in UTC and
509 we are in 11-minutes-mode. When we trust the system time to NTP we also want
512 * kernel: add device_type = "fb", "fbcon" to class "graphics"
516 * look for close() vs. close_nointr() vs. close_nointr_nofail()
518 * check for strerror(r) instead of strerror(-r)
520 * Use PR_SET_PROCTITLE_AREA if it becomes available in the kernel
522 * %m in printf() instead of strerror(errno);
526 * set_put(), hashmap_put() return values check. i.e. == 0 doesn't free()!
528 * use secure_getenv() instead of getenv() where appropriate
530 Scheduled for removal or fixing:
532 * xxxOverridable dependencies (probably: fix)
534 * support for early-boot SysV services (definitely: remove)
