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

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

387 * support "systemctl stop foobar@.service" to stop all units matching a certain template
389 * logind: allow showing logout dialog from system
391 * document that %% can be used to write % in a string that is specifier extended
393 * when an instanced service exits, remove its parent cgroup too if possible.
395 * default to actual 32bit PIDs, via /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max
397 * be able to specify a forced restart of service A where service B depends on, in case B
398 needs to be auto-respawned?
400 * Something is wrong with symlink handling of "autovt@.service" in "systemctl list-unit-files"
402 * when a bus name of a service disappears from the bus make sure to queue further activation requests
404 * something like ConditionExec= or ExecStartPre= without failure state
406 * tmpfiles: apply "x" on "D" too (see patch from William Douglas)
408 * don't set $HOME in services unless requested
410 * hide PAM/TCPWrap options in fragment parser when compile time disabled
412 * when we automatically restart a service, ensure we restart its rdeps, too.
414 * allow Type=simple with PIDFile=
415 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=723942
417 * move PAM code into its own binary
419 * logind: spawn user@..service on login

423 * implement Register= switch in .socket units to enable registration
424 in Avahi, RPC and other socket registration services.
426 * make sure systemd-ask-password-wall does not shutdown systemd-ask-password-console too early
428 * readahead: use BTRFS_IOC_DEFRAG_RANGE instead of BTRFS_IOC_DEFRAG ioctl, with START_IO
430 * readahead: check whether a btrfs volume includes ssd by checking mount flag "ssd"
432 * support sd_notify() style notification when reload begins (RELOADING=1), reload is finished (READY=1), and add ReloadSignal= then to use in combination
434 * support sd_notify() style notification when shutting down, to make auto-exit bus services work (STOPPING=1)
436 * verify that the AF_UNIX sockets of a service in the fs still exist
437 when we start a service in order to avoid confusion when a user
438 assumes starting a service is enough to make it accessible
440 * Make it possible to set the keymap independently from the font on
441 the kernel cmdline. Right now setting one resets also the other.
443 * move nss-myhostname into systemd
445 * and a dbus call to generate target from current state
447 * drop /.readahead on bigger upgrades with yum
449 * add support for /bin/mount -s
451 * GC unreferenced jobs (such as .device jobs)
453 * write blog stories about:
454 - enabling dbus services
456 - how to make changes to sysctl and sysfs attributes
458 - how to pass throw-away units to systemd, or dynamically change properties of existing units
459 - how to integrate cgconfig and suchlike with systemd
460 - resource control in systemd
462 - testing with Harald's awesome test kit
465 * allow port=0 in .socket units
467 * move readahead files into /var, look for them with .path units
469 * teach dbus to activate all services it finds in /etc/systemd/services/org-*.service
471 * support systemd.mask= on the kernel command line.
473 * when key file cannot be found, read it from kbd in cryptsetup
475 * reuse mkdtemp namespace dirs in /tmp?
477 * recreate systemd's D-Bus private socket file on SIGUSR2
479 * Support --test based on current system state
481 * investigate whether the gnome pty helper should be moved into systemd, to provide cgroup support.
483 * maybe introduce ExecRestartPre=
485 * configurable jitter for timer events
487 * timer events with system resume
489 * dot output for --test showing the 'initial transaction'
491 * calendar time support in timer:
492 https://docs.google.com/document/pub?id=1bAMyFAjWLpzR3GTDYdgj5FWRMxoZiWw5zmUHEtvdHKA
494 * implicitly import "defaults" settings file into all types
496 * writable cgroups dbus properties for live changes
498 * read config fragments for all units from /lib/systemd/system/foobar.service.d/ to override/extend specific settings
500 * port over to LISTEN_FDS/LISTEN_PID:
501 - rpcbind (/var/run/rpcbind.sock!) HAVEPATCH
505 - libvirtd (/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock-ro)
506 - bluetoothd (/var/run/sdp! @/org/bluez/audio!)

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