3 * swap units that are activated by one name but shown in the kernel under another are semi-broken
5 * make anaconda write timeout=0 for encrypted devices
7 * make sure timeouts are applied to Type=oneshot services.
9 * Dangling symlinks of .automount unit files in .wants/ directories, set up
10 automount points even when the original .automount file did not exist
11 anymore. Only the .mount unit was still around.
13 * make polkit checks async
15 * properly handle .mount unit state tracking when two mount points are stacked one on top of another on the exact same mount point.
19 * make gtk-doc optional (like kmod?)
21 * udev: find a way to tell udev to not cancel firmware requests in initramfs
23 * udev: scsi_id -> sg3_utils?
25 * udev: kill /usr/lib/udev/devices/ and use tmpfiles for it
27 * udev: add trigger --subsystem-match=usb/usb_device
29 * udev: remove RUN+="socket:"
32 - use symbol versioning
33 - return object with *_unref()

35 - kill: udev_queue_get_failed_list_entry()
37 * udev: use systemd log.h
39 * allow configuration of console width/height in vconsole.conf
41 * PrivateTmp should apply to both /tmp and /var/tmp
43 * fstab should take priority over units in /usr
45 * cleanup syslog 'priority' vs. 'level' wording
47 * journal: if mmap() fails for mapping window try to unmap a a few older maps
49 * add flag file for shutdownd so that clients can check whether a shutdown is queued
51 * dbus upstream still refers to dbus.target and shouldn't
53 * 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
55 * add man page documenting all kernel cmdline options, including stuff like fsck.mode=
57 * show getty in container mode, not sulogin
59 * support container_ttys=
61 * journald: make configurable "store-on-var", "store-on-run", "dont-store", "auto"
62 (store-persistent, store-volatile?)
64 * Add ConditionReadWriteFileSystem= so that systemd-sysctl doesn't get executed when /proc/sys is read-only
66 * unset container= and container_uuid= for child processes
68 * when bind mounting /etc/machine-id, do so from /run/machine-id
70 * introduce mix of BindTo and Requisite
72 * journalctl: show multiline log messages sanely, expand tabs, and show all valid utf8 messages
74 * introduce NeedsMounts= or so to create .mount dependencies automatically for a specific path
76 * add DeleteSocketsOnStop=yes|no option to socket units
78 * add shutdown inhibit API for usage by libvirt and friends
80 * journal: store euid in journal if it differs from uid
82 * support chrony in addition to ntpd in timedated
84 * document crypttab(5)
86 * There's currently no way to cancel fsck (used to be possible via C-c or c on the console)
88 * hook up /dev/watchdog with main event loop for embedded, server uses
90 * when dumping cgroup contents, include main/control PID of a service, explicitly
92 * keep an eye on https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=670100
94 * D-Bus: always pass cred data along each message
96 * journal: allow turning off logging entirely
98 * journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the componets would fit
100 * add command to systemctl to plot dependency graph as tree (see rhbz 795365)
102 * make logind reserve tty10 or so for text logins, so that gdm never picks it up
104 * add option to sockets to avoid activation. Instead just drop packets/connections, see http://cyberelk.net/tim/2012/02/15/portreserve-systemd-solution/
106 * isolate for getty is still broken, due to logind
108 * default unix qlen is too small (10). bump sysctl? add sockopt?
110 * support units generated by a generator and placed in /run/systemd/system/; the directory is
111 currently ignored because it is empty before the generatores are executed
113 * Possibly, detect whether SysV init scripts can do reloading by looking for "echo Usage:" lines
115 * figure out whether we should leave dbus around during shutdown
117 * add interface to allow immediate rotation of the journal, and even flushing.
119 * dbus: in fedora, make the machine a symlink to /etc/machine-id
121 * journald: reuse XZ context
123 * logind: add equivalent to sd_pid_get_owner_uid() to the D-Bus API

135 * journal: deal nicely with byte-by-byte copied files, especially regards header
137 * journal: local deserializer of export mode, http server
139 * journal: message catalog
141 * journal: forward-secure signatures
143 * document the exit codes when services fail before they are exec()ed
145 * rework namespace support, don't use pivot_root, and mount things after creating the namespace, not before
147 * systemctl journal command
149 * journalctl: --cursor support, priority filtering
151 * systemctl status: show coredumps
153 * systemctl status: show whether journal was rotated since service started
155 * save coredump in Windows/Mozilla minidump format
157 * support crash reporting operation modes (https://live.gnome.org/GnomeOS/Design/Whiteboards/ProblemReporting)
159 * journal: allow per-entry control on /var vs. /run (think incognito browser mode)
161 * clean up session cgroups that remain after logout (think sshd), but eventually run empty
163 * support "systemctl stop foobar@.service" to stop all units matching a certain template
167 * logind: allow showing logout dialog from system
169 * document that %% can be used to write % in a string that is specifier extended
171 * when an instanced service exits, remove its parent cgroup too if possible.
173 * Make libselinux, libattr, libcap, libdl dependencies only of the tools which actually need them.
175 * as Tom Gundersen pointed out there's a always a dep loop if people use crypto file systems with random keys
177 * unset container=, container_uuid= in PID1?
179 * 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.
181 * if we can not get user quota for tmpfs, mount a separate tmpfs instance
182 for every user in /run/user/$USER with a configured maximum size
184 * default to actual 32bit PIDs, via /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max
186 * add an option to make mounts private/shareable and so on, enable this for root by default
188 * be able to specify a forced restart of service A where service B depends on, in case B
189 needs to be auto-respawned?
191 * Something is wrong with symlink handling of "autovt@.service" in "systemctl list-unit-files"
193 * when a bus name of a service disappears from the bus make sure to queue further activation requests
195 * something like ConditionExec= or ExecStartPre= without failure state
197 * tmpfiles: apply "x" on "D" too (see patch from William Douglas)
199 * don't set $HOME in services unless requested
201 * hide PAM/TCPWrap options in fragment parser when compile time disabled
203 * when we automatically restart a service, ensure we restart its rdeps, too.
205 * allow Type=simple with PIDFile=
206 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=723942
208 * move PAM code into its own binary
210 * warn if the user stops a service but not its associated socket
212 * logind: spawn user@..service on login
214 * logind: non-local X11 server handling
216 * implement Register= switch in .socket units to enable registration
217 in Avahi, RPC and other socket registration services.
219 * make sure systemd-ask-password-wall does not shutdown systemd-ask-password-console too early
221 * readahead: use BTRFS_IOC_DEFRAG_RANGE instead of BTRFS_IOC_DEFRAG ioctl, with START_IO
223 * readahead: check whether a btrfs volume includes ssd by checking mount flag "ssd"
225 * support sd_notify() style notification when reload begins (RELOADING=1), reload is finished (READY=1), and add ReloadSignal= then to use in combination
227 * support sd_notify() style notification when shutting down, to make auto-exit bus services work (STOPPING=1)
229 * verify that the AF_UNIX sockets of a service in the fs still exist
230 when we start a service in order to avoid confusion when a user
231 assumes starting a service is enough to make it accessible
233 * Make it possible to set the keymap independently from the font on
234 the kernel cmdline. Right now setting one resets also the other.
236 * move nss-myhostname into systemd
238 * and a dbus call to generate target from current state
240 * drop /.readahead on bigger upgrades with yum
242 * add inode nr check to readahead to suppress preloading changed files
244 * add support for /bin/mount -s
246 * GC unreferenced jobs (such as .device jobs)
248 * when failing to start a service due to ratelimiting, try again later, if restart=always is set
250 * write blog stories about:
251 - enabling dbus services
253 - how to make changes to sysctl and sysfs attributes
255 - how to pass throw-away units to systemd, or dynamically change properties of existing units
256 - how to integrate cgconfig and suchlike with systemd
257 - resource control in systemd
259 * allow port=0 in .socket units
261 * move readahead files into /var, look for them with .path units
263 * teach dbus to activate all services it finds in /etc/systemd/services/org-*.service
265 * support systemd.mask= on the kernel command line.
267 * when key file cannot be found, read it from kbd in cryptsetup
269 * reuse mkdtemp namespace dirs in /tmp?
271 * recreate systemd's D-Bus private socket file on SIGUSR2
273 * Support --test based on current system state
275 * investigate whether the gnome pty helper should be moved into systemd, to provide cgroup support.
277 * maybe introduce ExecRestartPre=
279 * configurable jitter for timer events
281 * timer events with system resume
283 * timer events on calendar time
285 * dot output for --test showing the 'initial transaction'
287 * calendar time support in timer, iCalendar semantics for the timer stuff (RFC2445)

290 * implicitly import "defaults" settings file into all types
291 * exec settings override
292 * writable cgroups dbus properties for live changes
294 * read config fragments for all units from /lib/systemd/system/foobar.service.d/ to override/extend specific settings
296 * port over to LISTEN_FDS/LISTEN_PID:
297 - rpcbind (/var/run/rpcbind.sock!) HAVEPATCH
301 - libvirtd (/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock-ro)
302 - bluetoothd (/var/run/sdp! @/org/bluez/audio!)
305 * auditd service files
307 * fingerprint.target, wireless.target, gps.target, netdevice.target
309 * io priority during initialization
311 * systemctl list-jobs - show dependencies
313 * add systemctl switch to dump transaction without executing it
315 * suspend, resume support?
317 * drop cap bounding set in readahead and other services
322 - get process transport into dbus for systemctl -P/-H (PENDING)
324 - natively watch for dbus-*.service symlinks (PENDING)
325 - allow specification of socket mode/umask when allocating DBusServer
326 - allow disabling of fd passing when connecting a AF_UNIX connection
327 - allow disabling of UID passing for AUTH EXTERNAL
330 PR_SET_CHILD_REAPER patch: https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/7/28/426
331 (patch in linux-next, on the way to the next kernel)
333 * fix alsa mixer restore to not print error when no config is stored
335 * gnome-shell python script/glxinfo/is-accelerated must die
337 * make cryptsetup lower --iter-time
339 * patch kernel for xattr support in /dev, /proc/, /sys and /sys/fs/cgroup?
341 * NTP: the kernel's 11-minutes-mode syncs the system time to the RTC, but only
342 in an ~30 minutes window. It does not adjust larger differences. Find a way
343 to tell the kernel, to always do a full time sync when the RTC is in UTC and
344 we are in 11-minutes-mode. When we trust the system time to NTP we also want
347 * patch kernel for cpu feature modalias for autoloading aes/kvm/...
348 (patches in linux-next, on the way to the next kernel)
350 * kernel: add device_type = "fb", "fbcon" to class "graphics"
354 * look for close() vs. close_nointr() vs. close_nointr_nofail()
356 * check for strerror(r) instead of strerror(-r)
358 * Use PR_SET_PROCTITLE_AREA if it becomes available in the kernel
360 * %m in printf() instead of strerror();
364 * set_put(), hashmap_put() return values check. i.e. == 0 doesn't free()!
