KS
2* systemctl status *.path shows all logs, not only the ones since the unit is
3 active

7c66aeba
KS
5* check systemd-tmpfiles for selinux context hookup for mknod(), symlink() and similar
6
c904f64d
LP
7* swap units that are activated by one name but shown in the kernel under another are semi-broken
8
f957632b
KS
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.
12
9a366075
LP
13* make polkit checks async
14
a40593a0 15* properly handle .mount unit state tracking when two mount points are stacked one on top of another on the exact same mount point.

LP
19* external: maybe it is time to patch procps so that "ps" links to
20 libsystemd-logind to print a pretty service name, seat name, session
21 name in its output. Currently it only shows cgroup membership, but
0028da22 22 that's sometimes kinda hard to parse for a human.
a4cc3e5c 23
7e2c2bcf 24* cgroup attrs:
f0c15f28 25 - update dbus interface docs in wiki
7b4da18c 26
81d112a8 27* localed:
81d112a8
LP
28 - localectl: support new converted x11→console keymaps
29
eb124a97 30Features:
3df82d5a 31
d686f034
LP
32* Introduce a way how we can kill the main process of a service with KillSignal, but all processes with SIGKILL later on
33 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=952634
34
19aa7c4f
LP
35* maybe add a warning to the unit file parses whern the acces mode of unit files is non-sensical.
36
aa96c6cb 37* investigate endianess issues of UUID vs. GUID
e8a7a315 38
ef3b5246
LP
39* see if we can fix https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=63672
40 without dropping the location cache entirely.
41
461bd8e4
LP
42* dbus: when a unit failed to load (i.e. is in UNIT_ERROR state), we
43 should be able to safely try another attempt when the bus call LoadUnit() is invoked.
44
ab8e074c
LP
45* if pam_systemd is invoked by su from a process that is outside of a
46 any session we should probably just become a NOP, since that's
47 usually not a real user session but just some system code that just
48 needs setuid().
49
50* add a pam module that passes the hdd passphrase into the PAM stack and then expires it, for usage by gdm auto-login.
51
52* add a pam module that on password changes updates any LUKS slot where the password matches
53
b454b112
LP
54* maybe add a generator that looks for "systemd.run=" on the kernel cmdline for container usercases...
55
56* timedatctl, localectl: possibly make some commands work without the daemon, for chroot situations...
57
4a449ed7 58* logind: add Suspend() bus calls which take timestamps to fix double suspend issues when somebody hits suspend and closes laptop quickly.
75512303 59
4a449ed7
LP
60* we need dynamic units
61
4a449ed7
LP
62* add s.th. like "systemctl set-log-level debug"
63
4ff49cb6
LP
64* cgtop: make cgtop useful in a container
65
fff87a35
ZJS
66* test/:
67 - add 'set -e' to scripts in test/
68 - make stuff in test/ work with separate output dir
69 - remove all the duplicated code in test/
b8b4d3dd
LP
70
71* suppress log output on shutdown when "quiet" is used
72
73* systemctl delete x.snapshot leaves no trace in logs (at least at default level).
74
3df82d5a
LP
75* make the coredump collector tool move itself into the user's cgroup
76 so that the coredump is properly written to the user's own journal
77 file.
78
5666ea6f
KS
79* move /usr/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/modules.devname parsing from udevd to
80 kmod static-nodes
81 call kmod as an early service, and drop CAP_MKNOD from udevd.service
a9602630 82
b6b7d433
LP
83* systemd-delta needs to be made aware of *.d/*.conf drop-in files for
84 units.
85
b5c03638
LP
86* seems that when we follow symlinks to units we prefer the symlink
87 destination path over /etc and /usr. We shouldn't do that. Instead
88 /etc should always override /run+/usr and also any symlink
89 destination.
90
752beb0c
LP
91* remove duplicate default deps logic from fstab-generator vs. mount.c
92
eece8c6f
LP
93* when isolating, try to figure out a way how we implicitly can order
94 all units we stop before the isolating unit...
95
d325d9bc
KS
96* teach udev + logind's uaccess to somehow handle the "dead" device nodes from:
97 /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/modules.devname
98 and apply ACLs to them if they have TAG=="uaccess" in udev rules.
3679d112 99
356ce991
LP
100* add ConditionArchitecture= or so
101
102* teach ConditionKernelCommandLine= globs or regexes (in order to match foobar={no,0,off})
103
bfa00bc6
LP
104* we should log capabilities too
105
3b953d68
JT
106* Support SO_REUSEPORT with socket activation:
107 - Let systemd maintain a pool of servers.
108 - Use for seamless upgrades, by running the new server before stopping the
109 old.
110
09f727ee
LP
111* after all byte-wise realloc() is slow, even on glibc, so i guess we
112 need manual exponential loops after all
113
795607b2
LP
114* BootLoaderSpec: drop allowing ext234 for $BOOT. Clarify that the
115 kernel has to be in $BOOT. Clarify that the boot loader should be
116 installed to the ESP. Define a way how an installer can figure out
117 whether a BLS compliant boot loader is installed.
118
795607b2
LP
119* man: remove .include documentation, and instead push people to use .d/*.conf
120
0be8342c
LP
121* think about requeuing jobs when daemon-reload is issued? usecase:
122 the initrd issues a reload after fstab from the host is accessible
123 and we might want to requeue the mounts local-fs acquired through
124 that automatically.
125
487060c2
LP
126* rework specifier logic so that we can distuingish OOM errors from other errors
127
e5ec62c5 128* systemd-inhibit: make taking delay locks useful: support sending SIGINT or SIGTERM on PrepareForSleep()
54c31a79 129
826872b6
LP
130* journal-or-kmsg is currently broken? See reverted commit 4a01181e460686d8b4a543b1dfa7f77c9e3c5ab8.
131
54c31a79 132* remove any syslog support from log.c -- we probably can't do this before split-off udev is gone for good
826872b6 133
8973790e 134* documentation: recommend to connect the timer units of a service to the service via Also= in [Install]
3679d112
LP
135
136* add a tool that lists active timer units plus their next elapstion and the time the units ran last
137
138* man: document the very specific env the shutdown drop-in tools live in
139
140* shutdown logging: store to EFI var, and store to USB stick?
141
142* man: extend runlevel(8) to mention that runlevels suck, and are dead. Maybe add runlevel(7) with a note about that too
143
144* systemctl: maybe add "systemctl add-wants" or so...
145
3679d112
LP
146* man: add more examples to man pages
147
148* man: maybe sort directives in man pages, and take sections from --help and apply them to man too
149
3679d112
LP
150* write UI tool that pops up emergency messages from the journal as notification
151
152* think about window-manager-run-as-user-service problem: exit 0 → activate shutdown.target; exit != 0 → restart service
153
154* msgcatalog determine default language of entries from the catalog
155 file name. i.e. foobar.de_DE.catalog would set the default entry
156 name for the entries to de_DE if they aren't explicitly suffixed
157 individually.
158
cbb77121
LP
159* use "log level" rather than "log priority" everywhere
160
d01a73b6
LP
161* timedate: have global on/off switches for auto-time (NTP), and auto-timezone that connman can subscribe to.
162
990ffbe5 163* Honour "-" prefix for InaccessibleDirectories= and ReadOnlyDirectories= to
f8aeee1f
LP
164 suppress errors of the specified path doesn't exist
165
166* dev-setup.c: when running in a container, create a tiny stub udev
167 database with the systemd tag set for all network interfaces found,
168 so that libudev reports them as present, and systemd's .device units
169 will be activated.
170
356ce991 171* merge unit_kill_common() and unit_kill_context()
490b7e47 172
81d112a8 173* introduce ExecCondition= in services
490b7e47 174
b44be3ec
LP
175* EFI:
176 - fsck hookup for the ESP mount is missing
177 - write man page for efi boot generator
b44be3ec
LP
178 - honor language efi variables for default language selection (if there are any?)
179 - honor timezone efi variables for default timezone selection (if there are any?)
180 - introduce bootctl (backed by systemd-bootd) to control temporary and persistent default boot goal plus efi variables
e4181484 181
c0fe5db5 182* maybe do not install getty@tty1.service symlink in /etc but in /usr?
e9fd44b7 183
b44be3ec 184* re-enable "make check" for gtk-doc (broken for unknown reason)
e9fd44b7 185
b44be3ec
LP
186* fstab: add new mount option x-systemd-after=/foobar/waldo to allow manual dependencies to other mount points
187 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=812826
3040728b 188
b44be3ec 189* print a nicer explanation if people use variable/specifier expansion in ExecStart= for the first word
8ed20651 190
b44be3ec 191* mount: turn dependency information from /proc/self/mountinfo into dependency information between systemd units.
e6c6e7af 192
b44be3ec
LP
193* logind:
194 - logind: optionally, ignore idle-hint logic for autosuspend, block suspend as long as a session is around
195 - When we update the kernel all kind of hibernation should be prohibited until shutdown/reboot
196 - logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
197 - Add pretty name for seats in logind
198 - logind: allow showing logout dialog from system?
199 - logind: spawn user@..service on login
200 - logind: non-local X11 server handling
201 - logind: add equivalent to sd_pid_get_owner_uid() to the D-Bus API
b44be3ec 202 - pam: when leaving a session explicitly exclude the ReleaseSession() caller process from the killing spree
eb124a97 203 - logind: GetSessionByPID() should accept 0 as PID value
e5ec62c5 204 - we should probably handle SIGTERM/SIGINT to not leave dot files around, just in case
8973790e
LP
205 - add configuration/switches to use
206 freeze (http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git) and
207 standby (https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=57793) as suspend modes
e673ad04 208
b44be3ec 209* exec: when deinitializating a tty device fix the perms and group, too, not only when initializing. Set access mode/gid to 0620/tty.
e673ad04 210
b44be3ec 211* DeviceAllow/DeviceDeny: disallow everything by default, but whitelist /dev/zero, /dev/null and friends
e673ad04 212
b44be3ec 213* service: watchdog logic: for testing purposes allow ping, but do not require pong
e673ad04 214
b44be3ec 215* journal:
b87b8b2b
KS
216 - do not use magic msync() in src/journal/journal-file.c, just call fsync()
217 <alxchk> poettering: looks like msync just calls vfs_fsync
218 http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/mm/msync.c#n18
c06bf414 219 - import and delete pstore filesystem content at startup
b44be3ec
LP
220 - journald: also get thread ID from client, plus thread name
221 - journal: when waiting for journal additions in the client always sleep at least 1s or so, in order to minimize wakeups
222 - add API to close/reopen/get fd for journal client fd in libsystemd-journal.
223 - fallback to /dev/log based logging in libsystemd-journal, if we can't log natively?
224 - declare the local journal protocol stable in the wiki interface chart
225 - journal: reuse XZ context
226 - sd-journal: speed up sd_journal_get_data() with transparent hash table in bg
227 - journald: when dropping msgs due to ratelimit make sure to write
228 "dropped %u messages" not only when we are about to print the next
229 message that works, but alraedy after a short tiemout
230 - check if we can make journalctl by default use --follow mode inside of less if called without args?
231 - maybe add API to send pairs of iovecs via sd_journal_send
232 - journal: when writing journal auto-rotate if time jumps backwards
f47ec8eb 233 - journal: add a setgid "systemd-journal" utility to invoke from libsystemd-journal, which passes fds via STDOUT and does PK access
b44be3ec
LP
234 - journactl: support negative filtering, i.e. FOOBAR!="waldo",
235 and !FOOBAR for events without FOOBAR.
236 - journal: when rotating, copy over old acls/access mode
b44be3ec 237 - journal: send out marker messages every now and then, and immediately sync with fdatasync() afterwards, in order to have hourly guaranteed syncs.
b44be3ec
LP
238 - 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.
239 - journal: find a way to allow dropping history early, based on priority, other rules
240 - journal: When used on NFS, check payload hashes
b44be3ec
LP
241 - Introduce journalctl -b <nr> to show journal messages of a previous boot
242 - journald: check whether it is OK if the client can still modify delivered journal entries
f47ec8eb 243 - journal live copy, based on libneon (client) and libmicrohttpd (server)
b44be3ec
LP
244 - journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
245 - refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
246 - journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
247 - journal: deal nicely with byte-by-byte copied files, especially regards header
248 - journalctl: show multiline log messages sanely, expand tabs, and show all valid utf8 messages
249 - journal: store euid in journal if it differs from uid
250 - journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the components would fit
601d9d6f
JT
251 - Replace utmp, wtmp, btmp, and lastlog completely with journal
252 - Port upower to use the journal for historical power information used in future calculations
b44be3ec
LP
253
254* document:
255 - document unit_name_mangle()
256 - document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fileds in
257 [Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
258 - man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
259 - Document word splitting syntax for ExecStart= and friends
260 - document that units from /etc override those from /usr and /run
261 - document the exit codes when services fail before they are exec()ed
b44be3ec 262 - document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
eb124a97 263 - document in wiki how to map ical recurrence events to systemd timer unit calendar specifications
b44be3ec
LP
264
265* systemctl:
266 - systemctl list-jobs - show dependencies
267 - add systemctl switch to dump transaction without executing it
268 - Add a verbose mode to "systemctl start" and friends that explains what is being done or not done
269 - "systemctl disable" on a static unit prints no message and does
270 nothing. "systemctl enable" does nothing, and gives a bad message
271 about it. Should fix both to print nice actionable messages.
272 - print nice message from systemctl --failed if there are no entries shown, and hook that into ExecStartPre of rescue.service/emergency.service
273 - add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
274 - systemctl enable: improve the success messages (i.e. more human readable, less shell-like)
275 - systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into doesn't exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
276 - systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
277 - support "systemctl stop foobar@.service" to stop all units matching a certain template
278 - Something is wrong with symlink handling of "autovt@.service" in "systemctl list-unit-files"
8b04b925 279
e673ad04
LP
280* introduce ntp.service (or suchlike) as symlink that is used to arbitrate between various NTP implementations
281
b44be3ec
LP
282* deal with sendmail/postfix exclusivity
283
284* timer units:
285 - configurable jitter for timer events
286 - timer events with system resume
287 - timer units should get the ability to trigger when:
288 o CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (TFD_TIMER_CANCEL_ON_SET)
289 o DST changes
eb124a97 290 - Support 2012-02~4 as syntax for specifying the fourth to last day of the month.
d2e83c23
KS
291
292* update the kernel's TZ (sys_tz) when DST changes
293
294* sync down the system time to the RTC when:
f6113d42
KS
295 - CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (the user explicitely requested a time set)
296 - DST/timezone changes && ntp is active && RTC-in-localtime (never do it without ntp)
d2e83c23 297 This takes care of syncing ntpdate updates to the RTC, and DST updates for localtime
7a43e910 298 mode, it will never touch the RTC if the no reliable time source is active or the
d2e83c23 299 user did not request anything like it.
c55b1b59 300
6c1703cc
KS
301* hwdb:
302 - implement conditional properties (dmi matches)
303 - hwdb --filter=ID_DRIVE_*
08f95888 304
59704f3e
LP
305* if booted in "quiet" mode, and an error happens, turn on status
306 output again, so that the emergency mode isn't totally
307 surprising. Also, terminate plymouth.
9ec82de1 308
e707c494
LP
309* libunwind support for coredump pattern hook, and includes this in
310 the message for coredumps. After all, libunwind is now capable to
311 unwind coredumps since a few weeks ago. This probably requires that
7f873283
LP
312 we have nice support for multi-line messages on display in
313 logs-show.c. Alternatively: use libelfutil, which seems to be the
314 better supported alternative.
e707c494 315
e707c494
LP
316* figure out relation of --all and --full in the various tools
317
a19554ed
LP
318* add libsystemd-password or so to query passwords during boot using the password agent logic
319
1cb88f2c
LP
320* 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().
321
322* fedup: add --unit to systemctl switch-root somehow
323* fedup: don't delete initrd on switch-root
324* fedup: generator
603cd8fe 325
b44be3ec 326* timedated:
b44be3ec 327 - timedated: refuse time changes when NTP is on
6d0274f1 328
a7a3f28b
LP
329* clean up date formatting and parsing so that all absolute/relative timestamps we format can also be parsed
330
9b27910b
LP
331* introduce generic AUGMENT_PID=, AUGMENT_DEVICE= fields
332
b44be3ec 333* on shutdown: move utmp, wall, audit logic all into PID 1 (or logind?), get rid of systemd-update-utmp-runlevel
08f95888 334
7d8197d1
KS
335* add "provisioning" instructions to setup an empty /etc + /var
336 - used to setup a new container from a shared /usr
337 - superset of tmpfiles model
338 - instructions shipped by packages and stored in /usr/lib/
339 - compose /etc/passwd and /etc/group, copy files
340 - able to create uid + gid used by packages, for file ownership
341
9ee58bdd
KS
342* make repeated alt-ctrl-del presses printing a dump, or even force a reboot without
343 waiting for the timeout
dcfc4b2e 344
71ef24d0
LP
345* high level net_prio setting in execution context
346
71ef24d0
LP
347* hostnamed: before returning information from /etc/machine-info.conf check the modification data and reread. Similar for localed, ...
348
1b89884b
LP
349* currently x-systemd.timeout is lost in the initrd, since crypttab is copied into dracut, but fstab isn't
350
15abdb9a 351* refuse boot if /etc/machine-id is not useful (or set taint?)
1920e37e 352
b44be3ec
LP
353* nspawn:
354 - nspawn: consider changing users for -u with su, so that NSS resolving works correctly
355 - nspawn: implement personality changes a la linux32(8)
356 - nspawn: --read-only is not applied recursively to submounts
357 - nspawn: make use of device cgroup controller by default
358 - bind mount read-only the cgroup tree higher than nspawn
eb124a97
LP
359 - nspawn: investigate whether we can support the same as LXC's
360 lxc.network.type=phys mode, and pass through entire network
361 interfaces to the container
362 - nspawn: maybe add a way to drop additional caps, in addition to add additional caps
363 - nspawn: maybe explicitly reset loginuid?
3679d112 364 - nspawn: make it work for dwalsh and shared /usr containers -- tmpfs mounts as command line parameters, selinux exec context
b44be3ec
LP
365
366* cryptsetup:
b44be3ec
LP
367 - cryptsetup-generator: allow specification of passwords in crypttab itself
368 - move cryptsetup key caching into kernel keyctl?
369 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54982
5f1dac6b 370 - support rd.luks.allow-discards= kernel cmdline params in cryptsetup generator
f8019684 371
de34a42b
LP
372* move debug shell to tty6 and make sure this doesn't break the gettys on tty6
373
424a19f8 374* hw watchdog: optionally try to use the preset watchdog timeout instead of always overriding it
41f9172f 375 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54712
424a19f8
LP
376
377* after deserializing sockets in socket.c we should reapply sockopts and things
378
a1cccad1
LP

402* ReadOnlyDirectories= is not applied recursively to submounts
403
68f16003
LP
404* drop PID 1 reloading, only do reexecing (difficult: Reload()
405 currently is properly synchronous, Reexec() is weird, because we
406 can't delay the response properly until we are back, so instead of
407 being properly synchronous we just keep open the fd and close it
edca2e23 408 when done. That means clients don't get a successful method reply,
68f16003 409 but much rather a disconnect on success.

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