c904f64d
LP
8* swap units that are activated by one name but shown in the kernel under another are semi-broken
9
f957632b
KS
10* Dangling symlinks of .automount unit files in .wants/ directories, set up
11 automount points even when the original .automount file did not exist
12 anymore. Only the .mount unit was still around.
13
9a366075
LP
14* make polkit checks async
15
a40593a0 16* properly handle .mount unit state tracking when two mount points are stacked one on top of another on the exact same mount point.

LP
20* fix match logic to add another level of disjunction/conjunction
21
a4cc3e5c
LP
22* external: maybe it is time to patch procps so that "ps" links to
23 libsystemd-logind to print a pretty service name, seat name, session
24 name in its output. Currently it only shows cgroup membership, but
0028da22 25 that's sometimes kinda hard to parse for a human.
a4cc3e5c 26
7e2c2bcf 27* cgroup attrs:
f0c15f28 28 - update dbus interface docs in wiki
7b4da18c 29
81d112a8 30* localed:
81d112a8
LP
31 - localectl: support new converted x11→console keymaps

33* timer logic is confused by units which are skipped due to failing condition
34 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2013-February/008816.html
35
61a9648f
LP
36* timer logic is also confused if a service it triggers hasn't finished when the next timer elapses:

38
eb124a97 39Features:
3df82d5a 40
d8d3d8a7
LP
41* move session owner code from sd-login.c to cgroup-util.c
42
4ff49cb6
LP
43* decimal_str_max() should become a type-safe macro
44
45* show-cgroup.c uses its own ulog10 implementation
46
47* cgroup-util: verify syntax of cgroup controllers
48
49* cgtop: make cgtop useful in a container
50
51* make sure cg_pid_get_path() works properly for co-mounted controllers
52
53* nspawn: ensure syntax of --uuid= argument is correct
54
55* nspawn: detect whether something is an OS by checking for /etc/os-release
56
a53824ea
LP
57* explicitly disallow changing the cgroup path of units in the
58 name=systemd hierarchy, unless it is outside of /system
59
b8b4d3dd
LP
60* add 'set -e' to scripts in test/
61* make test in test/ work with separate output dir
62
63* suppress log output on shutdown when "quiet" is used
64
65* systemctl delete x.snapshot leaves no trace in logs (at least at default level).
66
3df82d5a
LP
67* make the coredump collector tool move itself into the user's cgroup
68 so that the coredump is properly written to the user's own journal
69 file.
70
5666ea6f
KS
71* move /usr/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/modules.devname parsing from udevd to
72 kmod static-nodes
73 call kmod as an early service, and drop CAP_MKNOD from udevd.service
a9602630 74
b6b7d433
LP
75* systemd-delta needs to be made aware of *.d/*.conf drop-in files for
76 units.
77
b5c03638
LP
78* seems that when we follow symlinks to units we prefer the symlink
79 destination path over /etc and /usr. We shouldn't do that. Instead
80 /etc should always override /run+/usr and also any symlink
81 destination.
82
752beb0c
LP
83* remove duplicate default deps logic from fstab-generator vs. mount.c
84
eece8c6f
LP
85* when isolating, try to figure out a way how we implicitly can order
86 all units we stop before the isolating unit...
87
d325d9bc
KS
88* teach udev + logind's uaccess to somehow handle the "dead" device nodes from:
89 /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/modules.devname
90 and apply ACLs to them if they have TAG=="uaccess" in udev rules.
3679d112 91
64e30145
LP
92* matching against units is currently broken in journalctl. We really
93 need another AND level in the expressions,
94 i.e. sd_journal_add_conjunction().
95
356ce991
LP
96* add ConditionArchitecture= or so
97
98* teach ConditionKernelCommandLine= globs or regexes (in order to match foobar={no,0,off})
99
bfa00bc6
LP
100* we should log capabilities too
101
3b953d68
JT
102* Support SO_REUSEPORT with socket activation:
103 - Let systemd maintain a pool of servers.
104 - Use for seamless upgrades, by running the new server before stopping the
105 old.
106
09f727ee
LP
107* after all byte-wise realloc() is slow, even on glibc, so i guess we
108 need manual exponential loops after all
109
795607b2
LP
110* BootLoaderSpec: drop allowing ext234 for $BOOT. Clarify that the
111 kernel has to be in $BOOT. Clarify that the boot loader should be
112 installed to the ESP. Define a way how an installer can figure out
113 whether a BLS compliant boot loader is installed.
114
795607b2
LP
115* man: remove .include documentation, and instead push people to use .d/*.conf
116
117* disallow .include from included files
118
247c873b
LP
119* safe_atod() is too naive, as it is vulnerable to locale parameters, should be locale independent.
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
6bc80e94
LP
126* neither pkexec nor sudo initialize environ[] from the PAM environment?
127
487060c2
LP
128* rework specifier logic so that we can distuingish OOM errors from other errors
129
e5ec62c5 130* systemd-inhibit: make taking delay locks useful: support sending SIGINT or SIGTERM on PrepareForSleep()
54c31a79 131
826872b6
LP
132* journal-or-kmsg is currently broken? See reverted commit 4a01181e460686d8b4a543b1dfa7f77c9e3c5ab8.
133
54c31a79 134* remove any syslog support from log.c -- we probably can't do this before split-off udev is gone for good
826872b6 135
e5ec62c5 136* fedora: connect the timer units of a service to the service via Also= in [Install]
3679d112
LP
137
138* fedora: F20: go timer units all the way, leave cron.daily for cron
139
140* add a tool that lists active timer units plus their next elapstion and the time the units ran last
141
142* man: document the very specific env the shutdown drop-in tools live in
143
144* shutdown logging: store to EFI var, and store to USB stick?
145
146* man: extend runlevel(8) to mention that runlevels suck, and are dead. Maybe add runlevel(7) with a note about that too
147
148* systemctl: maybe add "systemctl add-wants" or so...
149
150* man: add a link to socket activation blog from systemd.socket(5)
151
3679d112
LP
152* man: add more examples to man pages
153
154* man: maybe sort directives in man pages, and take sections from --help and apply them to man too
155
3679d112
LP
156* add "# export SYSTEMD_PAGER=" to bash login
157
158* /usr/bin/service should actually show the new command line
159
160* fedora: suggest auto-restart on failure, but not on sucess and not on coredump. also, ask people to think about changing the start limit logic. Also point people to RestartPreventExitStatus=, SuccessExitStatus=
161
162* write UI tool that pops up emergency messages from the journal as notification
163
164* think about window-manager-run-as-user-service problem: exit 0 → activate shutdown.target; exit != 0 → restart service
165
166* msgcatalog determine default language of entries from the catalog
167 file name. i.e. foobar.de_DE.catalog would set the default entry
168 name for the entries to de_DE if they aren't explicitly suffixed
169 individually.
170
cbb77121
LP
171* use "log level" rather than "log priority" everywhere
172
dd359de8
LP
173* ensure sd_journal_seek_monotonic actually works properly.
174
d01a73b6
LP
175* timedate: have global on/off switches for auto-time (NTP), and auto-timezone that connman can subscribe to.
176
990ffbe5 177* Honour "-" prefix for InaccessibleDirectories= and ReadOnlyDirectories= to
f8aeee1f
LP
178 suppress errors of the specified path doesn't exist
179
180* dev-setup.c: when running in a container, create a tiny stub udev
181 database with the systemd tag set for all network interfaces found,
182 so that libudev reports them as present, and systemd's .device units
183 will be activated.
184
356ce991 185* merge unit_kill_common() and unit_kill_context()
490b7e47 186
81d112a8 187* introduce ExecCondition= in services
490b7e47 188
b44be3ec
LP
189* EFI:
190 - fsck hookup for the ESP mount is missing
191 - write man page for efi boot generator
b44be3ec
LP
192 - honor language efi variables for default language selection (if there are any?)
193 - honor timezone efi variables for default timezone selection (if there are any?)
194 - introduce bootctl (backed by systemd-bootd) to control temporary and persistent default boot goal plus efi variables
e4181484 195
c0fe5db5 196* maybe do not install getty@tty1.service symlink in /etc but in /usr?
e9fd44b7 197
b44be3ec 198* re-enable "make check" for gtk-doc (broken for unknown reason)
e9fd44b7 199
b44be3ec
LP
200* fstab: add new mount option x-systemd-after=/foobar/waldo to allow manual dependencies to other mount points
201 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=812826
3040728b 202
b44be3ec 203* print a nicer explanation if people use variable/specifier expansion in ExecStart= for the first word
8ed20651 204
b44be3ec 205* mount: turn dependency information from /proc/self/mountinfo into dependency information between systemd units.
e6c6e7af 206
b44be3ec
LP
207* logind:
208 - logind: optionally, ignore idle-hint logic for autosuspend, block suspend as long as a session is around
209 - When we update the kernel all kind of hibernation should be prohibited until shutdown/reboot
210 - logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
211 - Add pretty name for seats in logind
212 - logind: allow showing logout dialog from system?
213 - logind: spawn user@..service on login
214 - logind: non-local X11 server handling
215 - logind: add equivalent to sd_pid_get_owner_uid() to the D-Bus API
b44be3ec 216 - pam: when leaving a session explicitly exclude the ReleaseSession() caller process from the killing spree
eb124a97 217 - logind: GetSessionByPID() should accept 0 as PID value
e5ec62c5 218 - we should probably handle SIGTERM/SIGINT to not leave dot files around, just in case
e673ad04 219
b44be3ec 220* exec: when deinitializating a tty device fix the perms and group, too, not only when initializing. Set access mode/gid to 0620/tty.
e673ad04 221
b44be3ec 222* DeviceAllow/DeviceDeny: disallow everything by default, but whitelist /dev/zero, /dev/null and friends
e673ad04 223
b44be3ec 224* service: watchdog logic: for testing purposes allow ping, but do not require pong
e673ad04 225
b44be3ec 226* journal:
b87b8b2b
KS
227 - do not use magic msync() in src/journal/journal-file.c, just call fsync()
228 <alxchk> poettering: looks like msync just calls vfs_fsync
229 http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/mm/msync.c#n18
c06bf414 230 - import and delete pstore filesystem content at startup
b44be3ec
LP
231 - journald: also get thread ID from client, plus thread name
232 - journal: when waiting for journal additions in the client always sleep at least 1s or so, in order to minimize wakeups
233 - add API to close/reopen/get fd for journal client fd in libsystemd-journal.
234 - fallback to /dev/log based logging in libsystemd-journal, if we can't log natively?
235 - declare the local journal protocol stable in the wiki interface chart
236 - journal: reuse XZ context
237 - sd-journal: speed up sd_journal_get_data() with transparent hash table in bg
238 - journald: when dropping msgs due to ratelimit make sure to write
239 "dropped %u messages" not only when we are about to print the next
240 message that works, but alraedy after a short tiemout
241 - check if we can make journalctl by default use --follow mode inside of less if called without args?
242 - maybe add API to send pairs of iovecs via sd_journal_send
243 - journal: when writing journal auto-rotate if time jumps backwards
244 - gatewayd: should run under its own UID
f47ec8eb 245 - journal: add a setgid "systemd-journal" utility to invoke from libsystemd-journal, which passes fds via STDOUT and does PK access
b44be3ec
LP
246 - journactl: support negative filtering, i.e. FOOBAR!="waldo",
247 and !FOOBAR for events without FOOBAR.
248 - journal: when rotating, copy over old acls/access mode
b44be3ec 249 - journal: send out marker messages every now and then, and immediately sync with fdatasync() afterwards, in order to have hourly guaranteed syncs.
b44be3ec
LP
250 - 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.
251 - journal: find a way to allow dropping history early, based on priority, other rules
252 - journal: When used on NFS, check payload hashes
253 - journal: When used on NFS make sure wake up sd_journal_wait() every 2s, to handle missing inotify
b44be3ec
LP
254 - Introduce journalctl -b <nr> to show journal messages of a previous boot
255 - journald: check whether it is OK if the client can still modify delivered journal entries
f47ec8eb 256 - journal live copy, based on libneon (client) and libmicrohttpd (server)
b44be3ec
LP
257 - journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
258 - refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
259 - journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
260 - journal: deal nicely with byte-by-byte copied files, especially regards header
261 - journalctl: show multiline log messages sanely, expand tabs, and show all valid utf8 messages
262 - journal: store euid in journal if it differs from uid
263 - journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the components would fit
2e4015f3 264 - journalctl: make journalctl smarter, and actually check groups that have access to /var/log/journal before printing message about recomming group membership for journal access
b44be3ec
LP
265
266* document:
267 - document unit_name_mangle()
268 - document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fileds in
269 [Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
270 - man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
271 - Document word splitting syntax for ExecStart= and friends
272 - document that units from /etc override those from /usr and /run
273 - document the exit codes when services fail before they are exec()ed
b44be3ec 274 - document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
eb124a97 275 - document in wiki how to map ical recurrence events to systemd timer unit calendar specifications
b44be3ec
LP
276
277* systemctl:
278 - systemctl list-jobs - show dependencies
279 - add systemctl switch to dump transaction without executing it
280 - Add a verbose mode to "systemctl start" and friends that explains what is being done or not done
281 - "systemctl disable" on a static unit prints no message and does
282 nothing. "systemctl enable" does nothing, and gives a bad message
283 about it. Should fix both to print nice actionable messages.
284 - print nice message from systemctl --failed if there are no entries shown, and hook that into ExecStartPre of rescue.service/emergency.service
285 - add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
286 - systemctl enable: improve the success messages (i.e. more human readable, less shell-like)
287 - systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into doesn't exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
288 - systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
289 - support "systemctl stop foobar@.service" to stop all units matching a certain template
290 - Something is wrong with symlink handling of "autovt@.service" in "systemctl list-unit-files"
7ba97195
ZJS
291 - add configuration/switches to use
292 freeze (http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git) and
293 standby (https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=57793) as suspend modes
8b04b925 294
e673ad04
LP
295* introduce ntp.service (or suchlike) as symlink that is used to arbitrate between various NTP implementations
296
b44be3ec
LP
297* deal with sendmail/postfix exclusivity
298
299* timer units:
300 - configurable jitter for timer events
301 - timer events with system resume
302 - timer units should get the ability to trigger when:
303 o CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (TFD_TIMER_CANCEL_ON_SET)
304 o DST changes
eb124a97 305 - Support 2012-02~4 as syntax for specifying the fourth to last day of the month.
d2e83c23
KS
306
307* update the kernel's TZ (sys_tz) when DST changes
308
309* sync down the system time to the RTC when:
f6113d42
KS
310 - CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (the user explicitely requested a time set)
311 - DST/timezone changes && ntp is active && RTC-in-localtime (never do it without ntp)
d2e83c23 312 This takes care of syncing ntpdate updates to the RTC, and DST updates for localtime
7a43e910 313 mode, it will never touch the RTC if the no reliable time source is active or the
d2e83c23 314 user did not request anything like it.
c55b1b59 315
6c1703cc
KS
316* hwdb:
317 - implement conditional properties (dmi matches)
318 - hwdb --filter=ID_DRIVE_*
08f95888 319
59704f3e
LP
320* if booted in "quiet" mode, and an error happens, turn on status
321 output again, so that the emergency mode isn't totally
322 surprising. Also, terminate plymouth.
9ec82de1 323
e707c494
LP
324* libunwind support for coredump pattern hook, and includes this in
325 the message for coredumps. After all, libunwind is now capable to
326 unwind coredumps since a few weeks ago. This probably requires that
7f873283
LP
327 we have nice support for multi-line messages on display in
328 logs-show.c. Alternatively: use libelfutil, which seems to be the
329 better supported alternative.
e707c494 330
e707c494
LP
331* figure out relation of --all and --full in the various tools
332
a19554ed
LP
333* add libsystemd-password or so to query passwords during boot using the password agent logic
334
1cb88f2c
LP
335* 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().
336
337* fedup: add --unit to systemctl switch-root somehow
338* fedup: don't delete initrd on switch-root
339* fedup: generator
603cd8fe 340
b44be3ec 341* timedated:
b44be3ec 342 - timedated: refuse time changes when NTP is on
6d0274f1 343
a7a3f28b
LP
344* clean up date formatting and parsing so that all absolute/relative timestamps we format can also be parsed
345
9b27910b
LP
346* introduce generic AUGMENT_PID=, AUGMENT_DEVICE= fields
347
b44be3ec 348* on shutdown: move utmp, wall, audit logic all into PID 1 (or logind?), get rid of systemd-update-utmp-runlevel
08f95888 349
7d8197d1
KS
350* add "provisioning" instructions to setup an empty /etc + /var
351 - used to setup a new container from a shared /usr
352 - superset of tmpfiles model
353 - instructions shipped by packages and stored in /usr/lib/
354 - compose /etc/passwd and /etc/group, copy files
355 - able to create uid + gid used by packages, for file ownership
356
9ee58bdd
KS
357* make repeated alt-ctrl-del presses printing a dump, or even force a reboot without
358 waiting for the timeout
dcfc4b2e 359
71ef24d0
LP
360* high level net_prio setting in execution context
361
71ef24d0
LP
362* hostnamed: before returning information from /etc/machine-info.conf check the modification data and reread. Similar for localed, ...
363
1b89884b
LP
364* currently x-systemd.timeout is lost in the initrd, since crypttab is copied into dracut, but fstab isn't
365
1920e37e
LP
366* WorkingDirectory: support env var replacements like in ExecStart= so that people can use $HOME
367
15abdb9a 368* refuse boot if /etc/machine-id is not useful (or set taint?)
1920e37e 369
b44be3ec
LP
370* nspawn:
371 - nspawn: consider changing users for -u with su, so that NSS resolving works correctly
372 - nspawn: implement personality changes a la linux32(8)
373 - nspawn: --read-only is not applied recursively to submounts
374 - nspawn: make use of device cgroup controller by default
375 - bind mount read-only the cgroup tree higher than nspawn
eb124a97
LP
376 - nspawn: investigate whether we can support the same as LXC's
377 lxc.network.type=phys mode, and pass through entire network
378 interfaces to the container
379 - nspawn: maybe add a way to drop additional caps, in addition to add additional caps
380 - nspawn: maybe explicitly reset loginuid?
3679d112
LP
381 - nspawn: move all containers to name=systemd:/containers/, and introduce externally visible names for containers
382 - nspawn: make it work for dwalsh and shared /usr containers -- tmpfs mounts as command line parameters, selinux exec context
b44be3ec
LP
383
384* cryptsetup:
385 - cryptsetup-generator: warn if the password files are world-readable
b44be3ec

423* drop PID 1 reloading, only do reexecing (difficult: Reload()
424 currently is properly synchronous, Reexec() is weird, because we
425 can't delay the response properly until we are back, so instead of
426 being properly synchronous we just keep open the fd and close it
edca2e23 427 when done. That means clients don't get a successful method reply,
68f16003 428 but much rather a disconnect on success.

650 in an ~30 minutes window. It does not adjust larger differences. Find a way
