3 * swap units that are activated by one name but shown in the kernel under another are semi-broken
5 * NM should pull in network.target (PENDING)
6 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=692008
8 * make anaconda write timeout=0 for encrypted devices
10 * service: pid file reading after reload doesn't work, since we don't reset the pid variable
12 * make sure timeouts are applied to Type=oneshot services.
14 * Dangling symlinks of .automount unit files in .wants/ directories, set up
15 automount points even when the original .automount file did not exist
16 anymore. Only the .mount unit was still around.
18 * make polkit checks async
20 * properly handle .mount unit state tracking when two mount points are stacked one on top of another on the exact same mount point.
24 * systemctl journal command
26 * journalctl: --cursor support, priority filtering
28 * systemctl status: show coredumps
30 * systemctl status: show whether journal was rotated since service started
32 * save coredump in Windows/Mozilla minidump format
34 * support crash reporting operation modes (https://live.gnome.org/GnomeOS/Design/Whiteboards/ProblemReporting)
36 * allow per-entry control on /var vs. /run (think incognito browser mode)
38 * clean up session cgroups that remain after logout (think sshd), but eventually run empty
40 * support "systemctl stop foobar@.service" to stop all units matching a certain template
44 * logind: selinux is borked...
46 * logind: allow showing logout dialog from system
48 * document that %% can be used to write % in a string that is specifier extended
50 * check utf8 everywhere
52 * when an instanced service exits, remove its parent cgroup too if possible.
54 * Make libselinux, libattr, libcap, libdl dependencies only of the tools which actually need them.
56 * as Tom Gundersen pointed out there's a always a dep loop if people use crypto file systems with random keys
58 * unset container= in PID1?
60 * 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.
62 * if we can not get user quota for tmpfs, mount a separate tmpfs instance
63 for every user in /run/user/$USER with a configured maximum size
65 * default to actual 32bit PIDs, via /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max
67 * add an option to make mounts private/shareable and so on, enable this for root by default
69 * internal restart counter for units (focus on auto-respawn)
71 * finer-grained auto-respawn settings (rate-limit)
73 * be able to specify a forced restart of service A where service B depends on, in case B
74 needs to be auto-respawned?
76 * Something is wrong with symlink handling of "autovt@.service" in "systemctl list-unit-files"
78 * when a bus name of a service disappears from the bus make sure to queue further activation requests
80 * something like ConditionExec= or ExecStartPre= without failure state
82 * service restart retry configuration
84 * tmpfiles: apply "x" on "D" too (see patch from William Douglas)
85 * tmpfiles: support generation of char/block devices, symlinks and one-line files (think sysfs)
87 * don't set $HOME in services unless requested
89 * hide PAM/TCPWrap options in fragment parser when compile time disabled
91 * when we automatically restart a service, ensure we retsart its rdeps, too.
93 * allow Type=simple with PIDFile=
94 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=723942
96 * move PAM code into its own binary
98 * warn if the user stops a service but not its associated socket
100 * logind: spawn user@..service on login
102 * logind: non-local X11 server handling
104 * implement Register= switch in .socket units to enable registration
105 in Avahi, RPC and other socket registration services.
107 * make sure systemd-ask-password-wall does not shutdown systemd-ask-password-console too early
109 * readahead: use BTRFS_IOC_DEFRAG_RANGE instead of BTRFS_IOC_DEFRAG ioctl, with START_IO
111 * readahead: check whether a btrfs volume includes ssd by checking mount flag "ssd"
113 * support sd_notify() style notification when reload begins (RELOADING=1), reload is finished (READY=1)
115 * support sd_notify() style notification when shutting down, to make auto-exit bus services work (STOPPING=1)
117 * verify that the AF_UNIX sockets of a service in the fs still exist
118 when we start a service in order to avoid confusion when a user
119 assumes starting a service is enough to make it accessible
121 * Make it possible to set the keymap independently from the font on
122 the kernel cmdline. Right now setting one resets also the other.
124 * move nss-myhostname into systemd
126 * and a dbus call to generate target from current state
128 * drop /.readahead on bigger upgrades with yum
130 * add inode nr check to readahead to suppress preloading changed files
132 * add support for /bin/mount -s
134 * GC unreferenced jobs (such as .device jobs)
136 * cgroup_notify_empty(): recursively check groups up the tree, too
138 * when failing to start a service due to ratelimiting, try again later, if restart=always is set
140 * write blog stories about:
141 - enabling dbus services
143 - how to make changes to sysctl and sysfs attributes
145 - cgroup best pratices to avoid stepping on each others toes
146 - how to pass throw-away units to systemd, or dynamically change properties of existing units
147 - how to integrate cgconfig and suchlike with systemd
148 - security properties
150 - details of instantiated @.service setups
152 * allow port=0 in .socket units
154 * move readahead files into /var, look for them with .path units
156 * teach dbus to activate all services it finds in /etc/systemd/services/org-*.service
158 * support systemd.mask= on the kernel command line.
160 * when key file cannot be found, read it from kbd in cryptsetup
162 * reuse mkdtemp namespace dirs in /tmp?
164 * recreate systemd's D-Bus private socket file on SIGUSR2
166 * Support --test based on current system state
168 * investigate whether the gnome pty helper should be moved into systemd, to provide cgroup support.
170 * maybe introduce ExecRestartPre=
172 * configurable jitter for timer events
174 * timer events with system resume
176 * timer events on calendar time
178 * dot output for --test showing the 'initial transaction'
180 * calendar time support in timer, iCalendar semantics for the timer stuff (RFC2445)

183 * implicitly import "defaults" settings file into all types
184 * exec settings override
185 * writable cgroups dbus properties for live changes
187 * read config fragments for all units from /lib/systemd/system/foobar.service.d/ to override/extend specific settings
189 * port over to LISTEN_FDS/LISTEN_PID:
190 - rpcbind (/var/run/rpcbind.sock!) HAVEPATCH
194 - libvirtd (/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock-ro)
195 - bluetoothd (/var/run/sdp! @/org/bluez/audio!)
198 * auditd service files
200 * fingerprint.target, wireless.target, gps.target, netdevice.target
202 * io priority during initialization
204 * if a service fails too often, make the service enter failed mode, and the socket, too.
206 * systemctl list-jobs - show dependencies
208 * add systemctl switch to dump transaction without executing it
210 * suspend, resume support?
212 * drop cap bounding set in readahead and other services
217 - get process transport into dbus for systemctl -P/-H (PENDING)
219 - natively watch for dbus-*.service symlinks (PENDING)
220 - allow specification of socket mode/umask when allocating DBusServer
221 - allow disabling of fd passing when connecting a AF_UNIX connection
222 - allow disabling of UID passing for AUTH EXTERNAL
225 PR_SET_CHILD_REAPER patch: https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/7/28/426
227 * fix alsa mixer restore to not print error when no config is stored
229 * udisks should not use udisks-part-id, instead use blkid. also not probe /dev/loopxxx
231 * snd-seq should go, https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=676095
233 * gnome-shell python script/glxinfo/is-accelerated must die
235 * make cryptsetup lower --iter-time
237 * patch kernel for xattr support in /dev, /proc/, /sys and /sys/fs/cgroup?
239 * NTP: the kernel's 11-minutes-mode syncs the system time to the RTC, but only
240 in an ~30 minutes window. It does not adjust larger differences. Find a way
241 to tell the kernel, to always do a full time sync when the RTC is in UTC and
242 we are in 11-minutes-mode. When we trust the system time to NTP we also want
245 * patch kernel for cpu feature modalias for autoloading aes/kvm/...
246 (patches in linux-next, on the way to the next kernel)
248 * kernel: add /proc/sys file exposing CAP_LAST_CAP? sysconf?
249 merged: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git;a=commit;h=73efc0394e148d0e15583e13712637831f926720
251 * kernel: add device_type = "fb", "fbcon" to class "graphics"
255 * look for close() vs. close_nointr() vs. close_nointr_nofail()
257 * check for strerror(r) instead of strerror(-r)
259 * Use PR_SET_PROCTITLE_AREA if it becomes available in the kernel
261 * %m in printf() instead of strerror();
265 * set_put(), hashmap_put() return values check. i.e. == 0 doesn't free()!
