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 * introduce ntp.service (or suchlike) as symlink that is used to arbitrate between various NTP implementations
24 * timer units should get the ability to trigger: a) when CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps, and b) when DST jumps takes place
26 * When we begin with system shutdown all kind of suspend/hibernation should be prohibited until shutdown/reboot
28 * When we update the kernel all kind of hibernation should be prohibited until shutdown/reboot
31 - implement conditional properties (dmi matches)
32 - hwdb --filter=ID_DRIVE_*
33 - find out what to do for blockdevs and skipping scsi modaliases
34 - move writing code to src/libudev/libudev-hwdb-private.c
36 * sd_journal_enumerate_data() implies XZ-decoding compressed field, this sucks hard
38 * if booted in "quiet" mode, and an error happens, turn on status output again, so that the emergency mode isn't totally surprising
40 * localectl: add listing support for X11 keymaps, by parsing /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/xorg.lst
42 * libunwind support for coredump pattern hook, and includes this in
43 the message for coredumps. After all, libunwind is now capable to
44 unwind coredumps since a few weeks ago. This probably requires that
45 we have nice support for multi-line messages on display in logs-show.c.
47 * figure out relation of --all and --full in the various tools
49 * journal: when writing journal auto-rotate if time jumps backwards
51 * introduce new "journal" group in place of adm? introduce groups for the various mini daemons?
53 * journal: add a setgid "adm" utility to invoke from libsystemd-journal, which passes fds via STDOUT and does PK access
55 * link up selected blog stories from man pages?
57 * journactl: support negative filtering, i.e. FOOBAR!="waldo",
58 and !FOOBAR for events without FOOBAR.
60 * print nice message from systemctl --failed if there are no entries shown, and hook that into ExecStartPre of rescue.service/emergency.service
62 * add libsystemd-password or so to query passwords during boot using the password agent logic
64 * journal: when rotating, copy over old acls/access mode
66 * journal: document why we do not give ownership to journal files to the user that created them but use FS ACLs for that
68 * journal: send out marker messages every now and then, and immediately sync with fdatasync() afterwards, in order to have hourly guaranteed syncs.
70 * 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
72 * 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.
74 * 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().
76 * fedup: add --unit to systemctl switch-root somehow
77 * fedup: don't delete initrd on switch-root
80 * journal: find a way to allow dropping history early, based on priority, other rules
82 * journal: When used on NFS, check payload hashes
84 * journal: When used on NFS make sure wake up sd_journal_wait() every 2s, to handle missing inotify
86 * document that people can use file system ACLs to manage access to journal files, with example
88 * don't show cgroup in "systemctl status" if empty/non-existant, especially for foreign .mount units
90 * timedated: export boolean that clarifies whether NTP is even available
92 * timedated: refuse time changes when NTP is on
94 * clean up date formatting and parsing so that all absolute/relative timestamps we format can also be parsed
96 * document unit_name_mangle()
98 * add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
100 * introduce generic AUGMENT_PID=, AUGMENT_DEVICE= fields
102 * deal with sendmail/postfix exclusivity
104 * systemctl enable: improve the success messages (i.e. more human readable, less shell-like)
106 * systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into doesn't exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
108 * on shutdown: move utmp, wall, audit logic all into PID 1 itself, get rid of systemd-update-utmp-runlevel
110 * add "provisioning" instructions to setup an empty /etc + /var
111 - used to setup a new container from a shared /usr
112 - superset of tmpfiles model
113 - instructions shipped by packages and stored in /usr/lib/
114 - compose /etc/passwd and /etc/group, copy files
115 - able to create uid + gid used by packages, for file ownership
117 * make repeated alt-ctrl-del presses printing a dump, or even force a reboot without
118 waiting for the timeout
120 * high level net_prio setting in execution context
122 * Introduce journalctl -b <nr> to show journal messages of a previous boot
124 * hostnamed: before returning information from /etc/machine-info.conf check the modification data and reread. Similar for localed, ...
126 * currently x-systemd.timeout is lost in the initrd, since crypttab is copied into dracut, but fstab isn't
128 * WorkingDirectory: support env var replacements like in ExecStart= so that people can use $HOME
130 * refuse boot if /etc/machine-id is not useful
132 * nspawn: consider changing users for -u with su, so that NSS resolving works correctly
134 * nspawn: implement personality changes a la linux32(8)
136 * nspawn: reset all aux groups
138 * cryptsetup-generator: warn if the password files are world-readable
140 * cryptsetup-generator: add RequiresMountsFor= to cryptseup service files referencing a file, similar for devices
142 * cryptsetup-generator: allow specification of passwords in crypttab itself
144 * document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fileds in
145 [Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
147 * need to update LGPL2.1 text to newest version (with updated FSF address)
149 * systemctl: when powering down/suspending check for inhibitors, and warn.
151 * instantiated [Install] for target units
152 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54377
154 * move debug shell to tty6 and make sure this doesn't break the gettys on tty6
156 * move cryptsetup key caching into kernel keyctl?
157 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54982
159 * make nspawn work without terminal
161 * hw watchdog: optionally try to use the preset watchdog timeout instead of always overriding it
162 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54712
164 * after deserializing sockets in socket.c we should reapply sockopts and things
166 * make timer units go away after they elapsed
168 * http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2012-September/006502.html
170 * come up with a nice way to write queue/read_ahead_kb for a block device without interfering with readahead
172 * journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
174 * move PID 1 segfaults to /var/lib/systemd/coredump?
176 * Document word splitting syntax for ExecStart= and friends
178 * create /sbin/init symlinks from the build system
180 * Query Paul Moore about relabelling socket fds while they are open
182 * move keymaps to /usr/lib/... rather than /usr/lib/udev/...
184 * journald: check whether it is OK if the client can still modify delivered journal entries
186 * journal live copy, based on libneon (client) and libmicrohttpd
188 * system-wide seccomp filter
190 * ability to pass fds into systemd
192 * system.conf should have controls for cgroups
194 * bind mount read-only the cgroup tree higher than than nspawn
196 * allow writing multiple conditions in unit files on one line
198 * explore multiple service instances per listening socket idea
200 * 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.
202 * shutdown: don't read-only mount anything when running in container
204 * nspawn: --read-only is not applied recursively to submounts
206 * MountFlags=shared acts as MountFlags=slave right now.
208 * ReadOnlyDirectories= is not applied recursively to submounts
210 * drop PID 1 reloading, only do reexecing (difficult: Reload()
211 currently is properly synchronous, Reexec() is weird, because we
212 can't delay the response properly until we are back, so instead of
213 being properly synchronous we just keep open the fd and close it
214 when done. That means clients don't get a succesful method reply,
215 but much rather a disconnect on success.
217 * document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
219 * remember which condition failed for services, not just the fact that something failed
221 * use opterr = 0 for all getopt tools
223 * properly handle loop back mounts via fstab, especially regards to fsck/passno
225 * allow services with no ExecStart= but with an ExecStop=
227 * add proper journal support to "systemctl --user status ..."
229 * add _SYSTEMD_USER_UNIT= field to journal entries
231 * dracut-shutdown needs to be ordered before unmounting /boot
233 * initialize the hostname from the fs label of /, if /etc/hostname does not exist?
235 * rename "userspace" to "core-os"
237 * systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
239 * syscall filter: add knowledge about compat syscalls
241 * syscall filter: don't enforce no new privs?
243 * syscall filter: option to return EPERM rather than SIGSYS?
245 * syscall filter: port to libseccomp
247 * logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
249 * systemd-analyze post-boot is broken for initrd
251 * man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
253 * .device aliases need to be implemented with the "following" logic, probably.
255 * refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
257 * load-fragment: when loading a unit file via a chain of symlinks
258 verify that it isn't masked via any of the names traversed.
260 * journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
265 * introduce Type=pid-file
267 * maybe allow services with ExecStop= set, but no ExecStart=?
269 * efi: implement /forcefsck as uefi variables thus not requiring file system altering to trigger a file system check
271 * efi: honour language efi variables for default language selection
273 * efi: honour timezone efi variables for default timezone selection
275 * efi: automatically mount EFI partition to /boot if no such entry exists in /etc/fstab and /boot is empty
276 gummiboot exports the EFI system partion (ESP) device:
277 /sys/firmware/efi/vars/LoaderDeviceIdentifier-4a67b082-0a4c-41cf-b6c7-440b29bb8c4f/data
278 Acpi(PNP0A03,0)/Pci(1F|2)/?/HD(Part1,Sig1FCBC57F-4BFC-4C2B-91A3-9C84FBCD9AF1)
279 '/' is the separator for the device path list
280 HD(Part1,Sig1FCBC57F-4BFC-4C2B-91A3-9C84FBCD9AF1) contains the GPT UUID of the ESP
282 * read the bootloader performance data (raw TSC) in systemd-analyze
283 /sys/firmware/efi/vars/LoaderTicksExec-4a67b082-0a4c-41cf-b6c7-440b29bb8c4f/data
285 /sys/firmware/efi/vars/LoaderTicksInit-4a67b082-0a4c-41cf-b6c7-440b29bb8c4f/data
287 /sys/firmware/efi/vars/LoaderTicksStartMenu-4a67b082-0a4c-41cf-b6c7-440b29bb8c4f/data
288 (only set if the menu was active)
290 * change Requires=basic.target to RequisiteOverride=basic.target
292 * support rd.luks.allow-discards= kernel cmdline params in cryptsetup generator
294 * nspawn: make use of device cgroup contrller by default
296 * drop accountsservice's StandardOutput=syslog and Type=dbus fields
298 * when breaking cycles drop sysv services first, then services from /run, then from /etc, then from /usr
300 * readahead: when bumping /sys readahead variable save mtime and compare later to detect changes
302 * (attempt to) make Debianites happy:
303 - implement .d/ auto includes for unit files
304 - add syntax to reset ExecStart= lists (and similar)
306 * move passno parsing to fstab generator
308 * improve !/proc/*/loginuid situation: make /proc/*/loginuid less dependent on CONFIG_AUDIT,
309 or use the users cgroup information when /proc/*/loginuid is not available.
311 * pam_systemd: try to get old session id from cgroup, if audit sessionid cannot be determined
313 * pam: when leaving a session explicitly exclude the ReleaseSession() caller process from the killing spree
315 * maybe introduce ~/.config/locale.conf and apply it within PAM
317 * readahead: make use of EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT, as used by http://e4rat.sourceforge.net/
319 * automount: implement expire
321 * logind: auto-suspend, auto-shutdown:
322 IdleAction=(none|suspend|opportunistic|hibernate|poweroff)
324 SessionIdleMode=(explicit|ignore|login)
325 ForceShutdown=(yes|no)
327 * services which create their own subcgroups break cgroup-empty notification (needs to be fixed in the kernel)
329 * don't delete /tmp/systemd-namespace-* before a process is gone down
331 * vconsole: implement setterm -store -foreground xxx --background zzz
333 * ExecOnFailure=/usr/bin/foo
335 * fedora: make sshd and pam_loginuid work in nspawn containers
337 * fix utmp for console logins in containers
339 * Add pretty name for seats in logind
341 * ConditionSecurity= should learn about IMA
343 * Auke: merge Auke's bootchart
347 * udev systemd unify:
348 - strpcpy(), strpcpyl(), strscpy(), strscpyl()
349 - utf8 validator code
350 - now() vs. now_usec()
352 * udev: remove network interface renaming, sleep and retry logic, we do
353 no support renaming of interfaces in the conflicting kernel
356 * udev: find a way to tell udev to not cancel firmware requests when running in initramfs
358 * udev: scsi_id -> sg3_utils -> kill scsi_id
360 * udev: add trigger --subsystem-match=usb/usb_device device
362 * allow configuration of console width/height in vconsole.conf
364 * cleanup syslog 'priority' vs. 'level' wording
366 * dbus upstream still refers to dbus.target and shouldn't
368 * 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
370 * support container_ttys=
372 * introduce mix of BindTo and Requisite
374 * journalctl: show multiline log messages sanely, expand tabs, and show all valid utf8 messages
376 * add DeleteSocketsOnStop=yes|no option to socket units
378 * journal: store euid in journal if it differs from uid
380 * There's currently no way to cancel fsck (used to be possible via C-c or c on the console)
382 * journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the componets would fit
384 * add command to systemctl to plot dependency graph as tree (see rhbz 795365)
386 * add option to sockets to avoid activation. Instead just drop packets/connections, see http://cyberelk.net/tim/2012/02/15/portreserve-systemd-solution/
388 * default unix qlen is too small (10). bump sysctl? add sockopt?
390 * figure out whether we should leave dbus around during shutdown
392 * dbus: in fedora, make the machine a symlink to /etc/machine-id
394 * dbus: move dbus to early boot

410 * support crash reporting operation modes (https://live.gnome.org/GnomeOS/Design/Whiteboards/ProblemReporting)
412 * clean up session cgroups that remain after logout (think sshd), but eventually run empty
414 * support "systemctl stop foobar@.service" to stop all units matching a certain template
416 * logind: allow showing logout dialog from system
418 * document that %% can be used to write % in a string that is specifier extended
420 * when an instanced service exits, remove its parent cgroup too if possible.
422 * default to actual 32bit PIDs, via /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max
424 * be able to specify a forced restart of service A where service B depends on, in case B
425 needs to be auto-respawned?
427 * Something is wrong with symlink handling of "autovt@.service" in "systemctl list-unit-files"
429 * when a bus name of a service disappears from the bus make sure to queue further activation requests
431 * something like ConditionExec= or ExecStartPre= without failure state
433 * tmpfiles: apply "x" on "D" too (see patch from William Douglas)
435 * don't set $HOME in services unless requested
437 * hide PAM/TCPWrap options in fragment parser when compile time disabled
439 * when we automatically restart a service, ensure we restart its rdeps, too.
441 * allow Type=simple with PIDFile=
442 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=723942
444 * move PAM code into its own binary
446 * logind: spawn user@..service on login
448 * logind: non-local X11 server handling
450 * implement Register= switch in .socket units to enable registration
451 in Avahi, RPC and other socket registration services.
453 * make sure systemd-ask-password-wall does not shutdown systemd-ask-password-console too early
455 * readahead: use BTRFS_IOC_DEFRAG_RANGE instead of BTRFS_IOC_DEFRAG ioctl, with START_IO
457 * readahead: check whether a btrfs volume includes ssd by checking mount flag "ssd"
459 * support sd_notify() style notification when reload begins (RELOADING=1), reload is finished (READY=1), and add ReloadSignal= then to use in combination
461 * support sd_notify() style notification when shutting down, to make auto-exit bus services work (STOPPING=1)
463 * verify that the AF_UNIX sockets of a service in the fs still exist
464 when we start a service in order to avoid confusion when a user
465 assumes starting a service is enough to make it accessible
467 * Make it possible to set the keymap independently from the font on
468 the kernel cmdline. Right now setting one resets also the other.
470 * move nss-myhostname into systemd
472 * and a dbus call to generate target from current state
474 * drop /.readahead on bigger upgrades with yum
476 * add support for /bin/mount -s
478 * GC unreferenced jobs (such as .device jobs)
480 * write blog stories about:
481 - hwdb: what belongs into it, lsusb
482 - enabling dbus services
484 - how to make changes to sysctl and sysfs attributes
486 - how to pass throw-away units to systemd, or dynamically change properties of existing units
487 - how to integrate cgconfig and suchlike with systemd
488 - testing with Harald's awesome test kit
490 - how to develop against journal browsing APIs
491 - the journal HTTP iface
492 - non-cgroup resource management
494 * allow port=0 in .socket units
496 * move readahead files into /var (look for them with .path units?)
498 * teach dbus to activate all services it finds in /etc/systemd/services/org-*.service
500 * support systemd.mask= on the kernel command line.
502 * when key file cannot be found, read it from kbd in cryptsetup
504 * reuse mkdtemp namespace dirs in /tmp?
506 * recreate systemd's D-Bus private socket file on SIGUSR2
508 * Support --test based on current system state
510 * investigate whether the gnome pty helper should be moved into systemd, to provide cgroup support.
512 * maybe introduce ExecRestartPre=
514 * configurable jitter for timer events
516 * timer events with system resume
518 * dot output for --test showing the 'initial transaction'
520 * calendar time support in timer:
521 https://docs.google.com/document/pub?id=1bAMyFAjWLpzR3GTDYdgj5FWRMxoZiWw5zmUHEtvdHKA
523 * writable cgroups dbus properties for live changes
525 * port over to LISTEN_FDS/LISTEN_PID:
526 - rpcbind (/var/run/rpcbind.sock!) HAVEPATCH
530 - libvirtd (/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock-ro)
531 - bluetoothd (/var/run/sdp! @/org/bluez/audio!)

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