KS
2* check systemd-tmpfiles for selinux context hookup for mknod(), symlink() and similar
3
c904f64d
LP
4* swap units that are activated by one name but shown in the kernel under another are semi-broken
5
f957632b
KS
6* Dangling symlinks of .automount unit files in .wants/ directories, set up
7 automount points even when the original .automount file did not exist
8 anymore. Only the .mount unit was still around.
9
9a366075
LP
10* make polkit checks async
11
a40593a0 12* properly handle .mount unit state tracking when two mount points are stacked one on top of another on the exact same mount point.

2d19f95c 14Fedora 19:
3679d112 15
a4cc3e5c
LP
16* external: maybe it is time to patch procps so that "ps" links to
17 libsystemd-logind to print a pretty service name, seat name, session
18 name in its output. Currently it only shows cgroup membership, but
0028da22 19 that's sometimes kinda hard to parse for a human.
a4cc3e5c 20
7e2c2bcf 21* cgroup attrs:
f0c15f28 22 - update dbus interface docs in wiki
7b4da18c 23
81d112a8 24* localed:
81d112a8
LP
25 - localectl: support new converted x11→console keymaps
26
eb124a97 27Features:
3df82d5a 28
19aa7c4f
LP
29* maybe add a warning to the unit file parses whern the acces mode of unit files is non-sensical.
30
aa96c6cb 31* investigate endianess issues of UUID vs. GUID
e8a7a315 32
ef3b5246
LP
33* see if we can fix https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=63672
34 without dropping the location cache entirely.
35
461bd8e4
LP
36* dbus: when a unit failed to load (i.e. is in UNIT_ERROR state), we
37 should be able to safely try another attempt when the bus call LoadUnit() is invoked.
38
ab8e074c
LP
39* if pam_systemd is invoked by su from a process that is outside of a
40 any session we should probably just become a NOP, since that's
41 usually not a real user session but just some system code that just
42 needs setuid().
43
44* add a pam module that passes the hdd passphrase into the PAM stack and then expires it, for usage by gdm auto-login.
45
46* add a pam module that on password changes updates any LUKS slot where the password matches
47
b454b112
LP
48* maybe add a generator that looks for "systemd.run=" on the kernel cmdline for container usercases...
49
50* timedatctl, localectl: possibly make some commands work without the daemon, for chroot situations...
51
4a449ed7 52* logind: add Suspend() bus calls which take timestamps to fix double suspend issues when somebody hits suspend and closes laptop quickly.
75512303 53
4a449ed7
LP
54* we need dynamic units
55
4a449ed7
LP
56* add s.th. like "systemctl set-log-level debug"
57
4ff49cb6
LP
58* cgtop: make cgtop useful in a container
59
fff87a35
ZJS
60* test/:
61 - add 'set -e' to scripts in test/
62 - make stuff in test/ work with separate output dir
63 - remove all the duplicated code in test/
b8b4d3dd
LP
64
65* suppress log output on shutdown when "quiet" is used
66
67* systemctl delete x.snapshot leaves no trace in logs (at least at default level).
68
3df82d5a
LP
69* make the coredump collector tool move itself into the user's cgroup
70 so that the coredump is properly written to the user's own journal
71 file.
72
5666ea6f
KS
73* move /usr/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/modules.devname parsing from udevd to
74 kmod static-nodes
75 call kmod as an early service, and drop CAP_MKNOD from udevd.service
a9602630 76
b6b7d433
LP
77* systemd-delta needs to be made aware of *.d/*.conf drop-in files for
78 units.
79
b5c03638
LP
80* seems that when we follow symlinks to units we prefer the symlink
81 destination path over /etc and /usr. We shouldn't do that. Instead
82 /etc should always override /run+/usr and also any symlink
83 destination.
84
752beb0c
LP
85* remove duplicate default deps logic from fstab-generator vs. mount.c
86
eece8c6f
LP
87* when isolating, try to figure out a way how we implicitly can order
88 all units we stop before the isolating unit...
89
d325d9bc
KS
90* teach udev + logind's uaccess to somehow handle the "dead" device nodes from:
91 /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/modules.devname
92 and apply ACLs to them if they have TAG=="uaccess" in udev rules.
3679d112 93
356ce991
LP
94* add ConditionArchitecture= or so
95
96* teach ConditionKernelCommandLine= globs or regexes (in order to match foobar={no,0,off})
97
bfa00bc6
LP
98* we should log capabilities too
99
3b953d68
JT
100* Support SO_REUSEPORT with socket activation:
101 - Let systemd maintain a pool of servers.
102 - Use for seamless upgrades, by running the new server before stopping the
103 old.
104
09f727ee
LP
105* after all byte-wise realloc() is slow, even on glibc, so i guess we
106 need manual exponential loops after all
107
795607b2
LP
108* BootLoaderSpec: drop allowing ext234 for $BOOT. Clarify that the
109 kernel has to be in $BOOT. Clarify that the boot loader should be
110 installed to the ESP. Define a way how an installer can figure out
111 whether a BLS compliant boot loader is installed.
112
795607b2
LP
113* man: remove .include documentation, and instead push people to use .d/*.conf
114
0be8342c
LP
115* think about requeuing jobs when daemon-reload is issued? usecase:
116 the initrd issues a reload after fstab from the host is accessible
117 and we might want to requeue the mounts local-fs acquired through
118 that automatically.
119
487060c2
LP
120* rework specifier logic so that we can distuingish OOM errors from other errors
121
e5ec62c5 122* systemd-inhibit: make taking delay locks useful: support sending SIGINT or SIGTERM on PrepareForSleep()
54c31a79 123
826872b6
LP
124* journal-or-kmsg is currently broken? See reverted commit 4a01181e460686d8b4a543b1dfa7f77c9e3c5ab8.
125
54c31a79 126* remove any syslog support from log.c -- we probably can't do this before split-off udev is gone for good
826872b6 127
8973790e 128* documentation: recommend to connect the timer units of a service to the service via Also= in [Install]
3679d112
LP
129
130* add a tool that lists active timer units plus their next elapstion and the time the units ran last
131
132* man: document the very specific env the shutdown drop-in tools live in
133
134* shutdown logging: store to EFI var, and store to USB stick?
135
136* man: extend runlevel(8) to mention that runlevels suck, and are dead. Maybe add runlevel(7) with a note about that too
137
138* systemctl: maybe add "systemctl add-wants" or so...
139
3679d112
LP
140* man: add more examples to man pages
141
142* man: maybe sort directives in man pages, and take sections from --help and apply them to man too
143
3679d112
LP
144* write UI tool that pops up emergency messages from the journal as notification
145
146* think about window-manager-run-as-user-service problem: exit 0 → activate shutdown.target; exit != 0 → restart service
147
148* msgcatalog determine default language of entries from the catalog
149 file name. i.e. foobar.de_DE.catalog would set the default entry
150 name for the entries to de_DE if they aren't explicitly suffixed
151 individually.
152
cbb77121
LP
153* use "log level" rather than "log priority" everywhere
154
d01a73b6
LP
155* timedate: have global on/off switches for auto-time (NTP), and auto-timezone that connman can subscribe to.
156
990ffbe5 157* Honour "-" prefix for InaccessibleDirectories= and ReadOnlyDirectories= to
f8aeee1f
LP
158 suppress errors of the specified path doesn't exist
159
160* dev-setup.c: when running in a container, create a tiny stub udev
161 database with the systemd tag set for all network interfaces found,
162 so that libudev reports them as present, and systemd's .device units
163 will be activated.
164
356ce991 165* merge unit_kill_common() and unit_kill_context()
490b7e47 166
81d112a8 167* introduce ExecCondition= in services
490b7e47 168
b44be3ec
LP
169* EFI:
170 - fsck hookup for the ESP mount is missing
171 - write man page for efi boot generator
b44be3ec
LP
172 - honor language efi variables for default language selection (if there are any?)
173 - honor timezone efi variables for default timezone selection (if there are any?)
174 - introduce bootctl (backed by systemd-bootd) to control temporary and persistent default boot goal plus efi variables
e4181484 175
c0fe5db5 176* maybe do not install getty@tty1.service symlink in /etc but in /usr?
e9fd44b7 177
b44be3ec 178* re-enable "make check" for gtk-doc (broken for unknown reason)
e9fd44b7 179
b44be3ec
LP
180* fstab: add new mount option x-systemd-after=/foobar/waldo to allow manual dependencies to other mount points
181 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=812826
3040728b 182
b44be3ec 183* print a nicer explanation if people use variable/specifier expansion in ExecStart= for the first word
8ed20651 184
b44be3ec 185* mount: turn dependency information from /proc/self/mountinfo into dependency information between systemd units.
e6c6e7af 186
b44be3ec
LP
187* logind:
188 - logind: optionally, ignore idle-hint logic for autosuspend, block suspend as long as a session is around
189 - When we update the kernel all kind of hibernation should be prohibited until shutdown/reboot
190 - logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
191 - Add pretty name for seats in logind
192 - logind: allow showing logout dialog from system?
193 - logind: spawn user@..service on login
194 - logind: non-local X11 server handling
195 - logind: add equivalent to sd_pid_get_owner_uid() to the D-Bus API
b44be3ec 196 - pam: when leaving a session explicitly exclude the ReleaseSession() caller process from the killing spree
eb124a97 197 - logind: GetSessionByPID() should accept 0 as PID value
e5ec62c5 198 - we should probably handle SIGTERM/SIGINT to not leave dot files around, just in case
8973790e
LP
199 - add configuration/switches to use
200 freeze (http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git) and
201 standby (https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=57793) as suspend modes
e673ad04 202
b44be3ec 203* exec: when deinitializating a tty device fix the perms and group, too, not only when initializing. Set access mode/gid to 0620/tty.
e673ad04 204
b44be3ec 205* DeviceAllow/DeviceDeny: disallow everything by default, but whitelist /dev/zero, /dev/null and friends
e673ad04 206
b44be3ec 207* service: watchdog logic: for testing purposes allow ping, but do not require pong
e673ad04 208
b44be3ec 209* journal:
b87b8b2b
KS
210 - do not use magic msync() in src/journal/journal-file.c, just call fsync()
211 <alxchk> poettering: looks like msync just calls vfs_fsync
212 http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/mm/msync.c#n18
c06bf414 213 - import and delete pstore filesystem content at startup
b44be3ec
LP
214 - journald: also get thread ID from client, plus thread name
215 - journal: when waiting for journal additions in the client always sleep at least 1s or so, in order to minimize wakeups
216 - add API to close/reopen/get fd for journal client fd in libsystemd-journal.
217 - fallback to /dev/log based logging in libsystemd-journal, if we can't log natively?
218 - declare the local journal protocol stable in the wiki interface chart
219 - journal: reuse XZ context
220 - sd-journal: speed up sd_journal_get_data() with transparent hash table in bg
221 - journald: when dropping msgs due to ratelimit make sure to write
222 "dropped %u messages" not only when we are about to print the next
223 message that works, but alraedy after a short tiemout
224 - check if we can make journalctl by default use --follow mode inside of less if called without args?
225 - maybe add API to send pairs of iovecs via sd_journal_send
226 - journal: when writing journal auto-rotate if time jumps backwards
f47ec8eb 227 - journal: add a setgid "systemd-journal" utility to invoke from libsystemd-journal, which passes fds via STDOUT and does PK access
b44be3ec
LP
228 - journactl: support negative filtering, i.e. FOOBAR!="waldo",
229 and !FOOBAR for events without FOOBAR.
230 - journal: when rotating, copy over old acls/access mode
b44be3ec 231 - journal: send out marker messages every now and then, and immediately sync with fdatasync() afterwards, in order to have hourly guaranteed syncs.
b44be3ec
LP
232 - 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.
233 - journal: find a way to allow dropping history early, based on priority, other rules
234 - journal: When used on NFS, check payload hashes
b44be3ec
LP
235 - Introduce journalctl -b <nr> to show journal messages of a previous boot
236 - journald: check whether it is OK if the client can still modify delivered journal entries
f47ec8eb 237 - journal live copy, based on libneon (client) and libmicrohttpd (server)
b44be3ec
LP
238 - journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
239 - refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
240 - journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
241 - journal: deal nicely with byte-by-byte copied files, especially regards header
242 - journalctl: show multiline log messages sanely, expand tabs, and show all valid utf8 messages
243 - journal: store euid in journal if it differs from uid
244 - journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the components would fit
601d9d6f
JT
245 - Replace utmp, wtmp, btmp, and lastlog completely with journal
246 - Port upower to use the journal for historical power information used in future calculations
b44be3ec
LP
247
248* document:
249 - document unit_name_mangle()
250 - document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fileds in
251 [Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
252 - man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
253 - Document word splitting syntax for ExecStart= and friends
254 - document that units from /etc override those from /usr and /run
255 - document the exit codes when services fail before they are exec()ed
b44be3ec 256 - document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
eb124a97 257 - document in wiki how to map ical recurrence events to systemd timer unit calendar specifications
b44be3ec
LP
258
259* systemctl:
260 - systemctl list-jobs - show dependencies
261 - add systemctl switch to dump transaction without executing it
262 - Add a verbose mode to "systemctl start" and friends that explains what is being done or not done
263 - "systemctl disable" on a static unit prints no message and does
264 nothing. "systemctl enable" does nothing, and gives a bad message
265 about it. Should fix both to print nice actionable messages.
266 - print nice message from systemctl --failed if there are no entries shown, and hook that into ExecStartPre of rescue.service/emergency.service
267 - add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
268 - systemctl enable: improve the success messages (i.e. more human readable, less shell-like)
269 - systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into doesn't exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
270 - systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
271 - support "systemctl stop foobar@.service" to stop all units matching a certain template
272 - Something is wrong with symlink handling of "autovt@.service" in "systemctl list-unit-files"
8b04b925 273
e673ad04
LP
274* introduce ntp.service (or suchlike) as symlink that is used to arbitrate between various NTP implementations
275
b44be3ec
LP
276* deal with sendmail/postfix exclusivity
277
278* timer units:
279 - configurable jitter for timer events
280 - timer events with system resume
281 - timer units should get the ability to trigger when:
282 o CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (TFD_TIMER_CANCEL_ON_SET)
283 o DST changes
eb124a97 284 - Support 2012-02~4 as syntax for specifying the fourth to last day of the month.
d2e83c23
KS
285
286* update the kernel's TZ (sys_tz) when DST changes
287
288* sync down the system time to the RTC when:
f6113d42
KS
289 - CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (the user explicitely requested a time set)
290 - DST/timezone changes && ntp is active && RTC-in-localtime (never do it without ntp)
d2e83c23 291 This takes care of syncing ntpdate updates to the RTC, and DST updates for localtime
7a43e910 292 mode, it will never touch the RTC if the no reliable time source is active or the
d2e83c23 293 user did not request anything like it.
c55b1b59 294
6c1703cc
KS
295* hwdb:
296 - implement conditional properties (dmi matches)
297 - hwdb --filter=ID_DRIVE_*
08f95888 298
59704f3e
LP
299* if booted in "quiet" mode, and an error happens, turn on status
300 output again, so that the emergency mode isn't totally
301 surprising. Also, terminate plymouth.
9ec82de1 302
e707c494
LP
303* libunwind support for coredump pattern hook, and includes this in
304 the message for coredumps. After all, libunwind is now capable to
305 unwind coredumps since a few weeks ago. This probably requires that
7f873283
LP
306 we have nice support for multi-line messages on display in
307 logs-show.c. Alternatively: use libelfutil, which seems to be the
308 better supported alternative.
e707c494 309
e707c494
LP
310* figure out relation of --all and --full in the various tools
311
a19554ed
LP
312* add libsystemd-password or so to query passwords during boot using the password agent logic
313
1cb88f2c
LP
314* 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().
315
316* fedup: add --unit to systemctl switch-root somehow
317* fedup: don't delete initrd on switch-root
318* fedup: generator
603cd8fe 319
b44be3ec 320* timedated:
b44be3ec 321 - timedated: refuse time changes when NTP is on
6d0274f1 322
a7a3f28b
LP
323* clean up date formatting and parsing so that all absolute/relative timestamps we format can also be parsed
324
9b27910b
LP
325* introduce generic AUGMENT_PID=, AUGMENT_DEVICE= fields
326
b44be3ec 327* on shutdown: move utmp, wall, audit logic all into PID 1 (or logind?), get rid of systemd-update-utmp-runlevel
08f95888 328
7d8197d1
KS
329* add "provisioning" instructions to setup an empty /etc + /var
330 - used to setup a new container from a shared /usr
331 - superset of tmpfiles model
332 - instructions shipped by packages and stored in /usr/lib/
333 - compose /etc/passwd and /etc/group, copy files
334 - able to create uid + gid used by packages, for file ownership
335
9ee58bdd
KS
336* make repeated alt-ctrl-del presses printing a dump, or even force a reboot without
337 waiting for the timeout
dcfc4b2e 338
71ef24d0
LP
339* high level net_prio setting in execution context
340
71ef24d0
LP
341* hostnamed: before returning information from /etc/machine-info.conf check the modification data and reread. Similar for localed, ...
342
1b89884b
LP
343* currently x-systemd.timeout is lost in the initrd, since crypttab is copied into dracut, but fstab isn't
344
15abdb9a 345* refuse boot if /etc/machine-id is not useful (or set taint?)
1920e37e 346
b44be3ec
LP
347* nspawn:
348 - nspawn: consider changing users for -u with su, so that NSS resolving works correctly
349 - nspawn: implement personality changes a la linux32(8)
350 - nspawn: --read-only is not applied recursively to submounts
351 - nspawn: make use of device cgroup controller by default
352 - bind mount read-only the cgroup tree higher than nspawn
eb124a97
LP
353 - nspawn: investigate whether we can support the same as LXC's
354 lxc.network.type=phys mode, and pass through entire network
355 interfaces to the container
356 - nspawn: maybe add a way to drop additional caps, in addition to add additional caps
357 - nspawn: maybe explicitly reset loginuid?
3679d112 358 - nspawn: make it work for dwalsh and shared /usr containers -- tmpfs mounts as command line parameters, selinux exec context
b44be3ec
LP
359
360* cryptsetup:
b44be3ec
LP
361 - cryptsetup-generator: allow specification of passwords in crypttab itself
362 - move cryptsetup key caching into kernel keyctl?
363 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54982
5f1dac6b 364 - support rd.luks.allow-discards= kernel cmdline params in cryptsetup generator
f8019684 365
de34a42b
LP
366* move debug shell to tty6 and make sure this doesn't break the gettys on tty6
367
424a19f8 368* hw watchdog: optionally try to use the preset watchdog timeout instead of always overriding it
41f9172f 369 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54712
424a19f8
LP
370
371* after deserializing sockets in socket.c we should reapply sockopts and things
372
a1cccad1
LP
373* make timer units go away after they elapsed
374
8556879e 375* http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2012-September/006502.html
d05c556b 376 (network and remote-fs on shutdown)
8556879e 377
8556879e
LP
378* come up with a nice way to write queue/read_ahead_kb for a block device without interfering with readahead

68f16003
LP
398* drop PID 1 reloading, only do reexecing (difficult: Reload()
399 currently is properly synchronous, Reexec() is weird, because we
400 can't delay the response properly until we are back, so instead of
401 being properly synchronous we just keep open the fd and close it
edca2e23 402 when done. That means clients don't get a successful method reply,
68f16003 403 but much rather a disconnect on success.

614* NTP: the kernel's 11-minutes-mode syncs the system time to the RTC, but only
615 in an ~30 minutes window. It does not adjust larger differences. Find a way
616 to tell the kernel, to always do a full time sync when the RTC is in UTC and
617 we are in 11-minutes-mode. When we trust the system time to NTP we also want
618 the RTC to sync up.
