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 new "journal" group in place of adm? introduce groups for the various mini daemons?
24 * journal: add a setgid "adm" utility to invoke from libsystemd-journal, which passes fds via STDOUT and does PK access
26 * link up selected blog stories from man pages?
28 * journactl: support negative filtering, i.e. FOOBAR!="waldo"
30 * drop header/footer from systemctl --failed output if there are no entries shown, print nice message instead, and hook that into ExecStartPre of rescue.service/emergency.service
32 * add libsystemd-password or so to query passwords during boot using the password agent logic
34 * journal: when rotating, copy over old acls/access mode
36 * journal: document why we do not give ownership to journal files to the user that created them but use FS ACLs for that
38 * journal: send out marker messages every now and then, and immediately sync with fdatasync() afterwards, in order to have hourly guaranteed syncs.
40 * 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
42 * 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.
44 * 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().
46 * fedup: add --unit to systemctl switch-root somehow
47 * fedup: don't delete initrd on switch-root
50 * journalctl/gatewayd: GELF output
52 * journal: find a way to allow dropping history early, based on priority, other rules
54 * journal: When interleaving journal files cache binary search results so that
55 we can cheaply continue where we left off.
57 * journal: When used on NFS, check payload hashes
59 * journal: When used on NFS make sure wake up sd_journal_wait() every 2s, to handle missing inotify
61 * "See journal for details" messages should include "journalctl -u" command line
63 * document that people can use file system ACLs to manage access to journal files, with example
65 * don't show cgroup in "systemctl status" if empty/non-existant, especially for foreign .mount units
67 * timedated: export boolean that clarifies whether NTP is even available
69 * timedated: refuse time changes when NTP is on
71 * clean up date formatting and parsing so that all absolute/relative timestamps we format can also be parsed
73 * introduce hybrid-sleep.target
75 * _SOURCE_MONOTONIC_TIMESTAMP entries from the kernel seem to be off by 1000000
77 * document unit_name_mangle()
79 * add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
81 * introduce generic AUGMENT_PID=, AUGMENT_DEVICE= fields
83 * deal with sendmail/postfix exclusivity
85 * systemctl enable: improve the success messages (i.e. more human readable, less shell-like)
87 * systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into doesn't exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
89 * on shutdown: move utmp, wall, audit logic all into PID 1 itself, get rid of systemd-update-utmp-runlevel
91 * add "provisioning" instructions to setup an empty /etc + /var
92 - used to setup a new container from a shared /usr
93 - superset of tmpfiles model
94 - instructions shipped by packages and stored in /usr/lib/
95 - compose /etc/passwd and /etc/group, copy files
96 - able to create uid + gid used by packages, for file ownership
98 * make repeated alt-ctrl-del presses printing a dump, or even force a reboot without
99 waiting for the timeout
101 * high level net_prio setting in execution context
103 * Introduce journalctl -b <nr> to show journal messages of a previous boot
105 * hostnamed: before returning information from /etc/machine-info.conf check the modification data and reread. Similar for localed, ...
107 * currently x-systemd.timeout is lost in the initrd, since crypttab is copied into dracut, but fstab isn't
109 * WorkingDirectory: support env var replacements like in ExecStart= so that people can use $HOME
111 * refuse boot if /etc/machine-id is not useful
113 * nspawn: consider changing users for -u with su, so that NSS resolving works correctly
115 * nspawn: implement personality changes a la linux32(8)
117 * nspawn: reset all aux groups
119 * cryptsetup-generator: warn if the password files are world-readable
121 * cryptsetup-generator: add RequiresMountsFor= to cryptseup service files referencing a file, similar for devices
123 * cryptsetup-generator: allow specification of passwords in crypttab itself
125 * document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fileds in
126 [Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
128 * need to update LGPL2.1 text to newest version (with updated FSF address)
130 * allow users from "wheel" to start/stop services
132 * systemctl: when powering down/suspending check for inhibitors, and warn.
134 * instantiated [Install] for target units
135 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54377
137 * support *static* (/run) hibernate inhibitors. All rpm -i actions should completely prevent any
138 sort of hibernate action until the next reboot. If the kernel or any other base tool is replaced
139 by rpm, the resume path might fail, the for resume needed kernel might even be uninstalled, and
140 the whole situation leads directly to data loss.
142 * move debug shell to tty6 and make sure this doesn't break the gettys on tty6
144 * move cryptsetup key caching into kernel keyctl?
145 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54982
147 * make nspawn work without terminal
149 * hw watchdog: optionally try to use the preset watchdog timeout instead of always overriding it
150 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54712
152 * after deserializing sockets in socket.c we should reapply sockopts and things
154 * make timer units go away after they elapsed
156 * http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2012-September/006502.html
158 * come up with a nice way to write queue/read_ahead_kb for a block device without interfering with readahead
160 * journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
162 * move PID 1 segfaults to /var/lib/systemd/coredump?
164 * Document word splitting syntax for ExecStart= and friends
166 * create /sbin/init symlinks from the build system
168 * Query Paul Moore about relabelling socket fds while they are open
170 * move keymaps to /usr/lib/... rather than /usr/lib/udev/...
172 * journald: check whether it is OK if the client can still modify delivered journal entries
174 * json: properly serialize multiple fields with the same name per entry
176 * journal live copy, based on libneon (client) and libmicrohttpd
178 * document in wiki json serialization
180 * system-wide seccomp filter
182 * ability to pass fds into systemd
184 * system.conf should have controls for cgroups

188 * currently system services appear not to generate core dumps...
190 * allow writing multiple conditions in unit files on one line
192 * 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
194 * explore multiple service instances per listening socket idea
196 * 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.
198 * shutdown: don't read-only mount anything when running in container
200 * nspawn: --read-only is not applied recursively to submounts
202 * MountFlags=shared acts as MountFlags=slave right now.
204 * ReadOnlyDirectories= is not applied recursively to submounts
206 * drop PID 1 reloading, only do reexecing (difficult: Reload()
207 currently is properly synchronous, Reexec() is weird, because we
208 can't delay the response properly until we are back, so instead of
209 being properly synchronous we just keep open the fd and close it
210 when done. That means clients don't get a succesful method reply,
211 but much rather a disconnect on success.
213 * document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
215 * remember which condition failed for services, not just the fact that something failed
217 * use opterr = 0 for all getopt tools
219 * properly handle loop back mounts via fstab, especially regards to fsck/passno
221 * allow services with no ExecStart= but with an ExecStop=
223 * add proper journal support to "systemctl --user status ..."
225 * add _SYSTEMD_USER_UNIT= field to journal entries
227 * dracut-shutdown needs to be ordered before unmounting /boot
229 * initialize the hostname from the fs label of /, if /etc/hostname does not exist?
231 * rename "userspace" to "core-os"
233 * systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
235 * syscall filter: add knowledge about compat syscalls
237 * syscall filter: don't enforce no new privs?
239 * syscall filter: option to return EPERM rather than SIGSYS?
241 * syscall filter: port to libseccomp
243 * logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
245 * systemd-analyze post-boot is broken for initrd
247 * man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
249 * .device aliases need to be implemented with the "following" logic, probably.
251 * refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
253 * load-fragment: when loading a unit file via a chain of symlinks
254 verify that it isn't masked via any of the names traversed.
256 * journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
261 * introduce Type=pid-file
263 * maybe allow services with ExecStop= set, but no ExecStart=?
265 * efi: implement /forcefsck as uefi variables thus not requiring file system altering to trigger a file system check
267 * efi: honour language efi variables for default language selection
269 * efi: honour timezone efi variables for default timezone selection
271 * efi: automatically mount EFI partition to /boot if no such entry exists in /etc/fstab and /boot is empty
272 gummiboot exports the EFI system partion (ESP) device:
273 /sys/firmware/efi/vars/LoaderDeviceIdentifier-4a67b082-0a4c-41cf-b6c7-440b29bb8c4f/data
274 Acpi(PNP0A03,0)/Pci(1F|2)/?/HD(Part1,Sig1FCBC57F-4BFC-4C2B-91A3-9C84FBCD9AF1)
275 '/' is the separator for the device path list
276 HD(Part1,Sig1FCBC57F-4BFC-4C2B-91A3-9C84FBCD9AF1) contains the GPT UUID of the ESP
278 * read the bootloader performance data (raw TSC) in systemd-analyze
279 /sys/firmware/efi/vars/LoaderTicksExec-4a67b082-0a4c-41cf-b6c7-440b29bb8c4f/data
281 /sys/firmware/efi/vars/LoaderTicksInit-4a67b082-0a4c-41cf-b6c7-440b29bb8c4f/data
283 /sys/firmware/efi/vars/LoaderTicksStartMenu-4a67b082-0a4c-41cf-b6c7-440b29bb8c4f/data
284 (only set if the menu was active)
286 * change Requires=basic.target to RequisiteOverride=basic.target
288 * support rd.luks.allow-discards= kernel cmdline params in cryptsetup generator
290 * nspawn: make use of device cgroup contrller by default
292 * drop accountsservice's StandardOutput=syslog and Type=dbus fields
294 * when breaking cycles drop sysv services first, then services from /run, then from /etc, then from /usr
296 * readahead: when bumping /sys readahead variable save mtime and compare later to detect changes
298 * (attempt to) make Debianites happy:
299 - implement .d/ auto includes for unit files
300 - add syntax to reset ExecStart= lists (and similar)
302 * move passno parsing to fstab generator
304 * improve !/proc/*/loginuid situation: make /proc/*/loginuid less dependent on CONFIG_AUDIT,
305 or use the users cgroup information when /proc/*/loginuid is not available.
307 * pam_systemd: try to get old session id from cgroup, if audit sessionid cannot be determined
309 * pam: when leaving a session explicitly exclude the ReleaseSession() caller process from the killing spree
311 * maybe introduce ~/.config/locale.conf and apply it within PAM
313 * readahead: make use of EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT, as used by http://e4rat.sourceforge.net/
315 * automount: implement expire
317 * logind: auto-suspend, auto-shutdown:
318 IdleAction=(none|suspend|opportunistic|hibernate|poweroff)
320 SessionIdleMode=(explicit|ignore|login)
321 ForceShutdown=(yes|no)
323 * services which create their own subcgroups break cgroup-empty notification (needs to be fixed in the kernel)

327 * vconsole: implement setterm -store -foreground xxx --background zzz
329 * ExecOnFailure=/usr/bin/foo
331 * fedora: make sshd and pam_loginuid work in nspawn containers
333 * fix utmp for console logins in containers
335 * Add pretty name for seats in logind
337 * ConditionSecurity= should learn about IMA
339 * Auke: merge Auke's bootchart
343 * udev systemd unify:
344 - strpcpy(), strpcpyl(), strscpy(), strscpyl()
345 - utf8 validator code
346 - now() vs. now_usec()
348 * udev: remove network interface renaming, sleep and retry logic, we do
349 no support renaming of interfaces in the conflicting kernel
352 * udev: find a way to tell udev to not cancel firmware requests when running in initramfs
354 * udev: scsi_id -> sg3_utils -> kill scsi_id
356 * udev: add trigger --subsystem-match=usb/usb_device device
358 * allow configuration of console width/height in vconsole.conf
360 * cleanup syslog 'priority' vs. 'level' wording
362 * dbus upstream still refers to dbus.target and shouldn't
364 * 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
366 * support container_ttys=
368 * introduce mix of BindTo and Requisite
370 * journalctl: show multiline log messages sanely, expand tabs, and show all valid utf8 messages
372 * add DeleteSocketsOnStop=yes|no option to socket units
374 * journal: store euid in journal if it differs from uid
376 * There's currently no way to cancel fsck (used to be possible via C-c or c on the console)
378 * journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the componets would fit
380 * add command to systemctl to plot dependency graph as tree (see rhbz 795365)
382 * add option to sockets to avoid activation. Instead just drop packets/connections, see http://cyberelk.net/tim/2012/02/15/portreserve-systemd-solution/
384 * default unix qlen is too small (10). bump sysctl? add sockopt?
386 * figure out whether we should leave dbus around during shutdown
388 * dbus: in fedora, make the machine a symlink to /etc/machine-id
390 * dbus: move dbus to early boot

394 * logind: add equivalent to sd_pid_get_owner_uid() to the D-Bus API
396 * journal: deal nicely with byte-by-byte copied files, especially regards header

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

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