1fab57c2
KS
2* the running hwdb seems not to pick up updated database files without
3 an explicit: udevadm control --reload
4
cff452c7
KS
5* enabling an instance unit creates pointless link, and
6 the unit will be started with getty@getty.service:
7 $ systemctl enable getty@.service
8 ln -s '/usr/lib/systemd/system/getty@.service' '/etc/systemd/system/getty.target.wants/getty@.service'
9
7c66aeba
KS
10* check systemd-tmpfiles for selinux context hookup for mknod(), symlink() and similar
11
c904f64d
LP
12* swap units that are activated by one name but shown in the kernel under another are semi-broken
13
f957632b
KS
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.
17
9a366075
LP
18* make polkit checks async
19
a40593a0 20* properly handle .mount unit state tracking when two mount points are stacked one on top of another on the exact same mount point.
20ffc4c4 21
466784c8 22Fedora 20:
3679d112 23
dc7adf20 24* external: ps should gain colums for slice and machine
7b4da18c 25
81d112a8 26* localed:
81d112a8
LP
27 - localectl: support new converted x11→console keymaps
28
55d32caf 29* when installing fedora with yum --installroot /var/run is a directory, not a symlink

bafb15ba
LP
32CGroup Rework Completion:
33
bafb15ba
LP
34* introduce "mainpid" for scopes
35
36* implement system-wide DefaultCPUAccounting=1 switch (and similar for blockio, memory?)
37
38* implement per-slice CPUFairScheduling=1 switch
39
40* handle jointly mounted controllers correctly
41
42* logind: implement session kill exceptions
43
bafb15ba
LP
44* make BlockIODeviceWeight=, BlockIODeviceBandwidth= runtime settable
45
049b4474 46* introduce high-level settings for RT budget, swappiness
bafb15ba 47
431c72dc 48* wiki: document new bus APIs of PID 1 (transient units, Reloading signal)
bafb15ba 49
eb124a97 50Features:
154ff088 51
07beec12
LP
52* for transient units, instead of writing out drop-ins for all properties consider serializing them in the normal serialization stream
53
5a4555ba
LP
54* logind: when logging out, remove user-owned sysv and posix IPC objects
55
afaba023
LP
56* session scopes/user unit: add RequiresMountsFor for the home directory of the user
57
4c4ae27d
LP
58* add a man page containing packaging guidelines and recommending usage of things like Documentation=, PrivateTmp=, PrivateNetwork= and ReadOnlyDirectories=/etc /usr.
59
408f281b
LP
60* journalctl: instead --after-cursor= maybe have a --cursor=XYZ+1 syntax?
61
e1b7e7ec
LP
62* given that logind/machined now let PID 1 do all nasty work we can
63 probably reduce the capability set they retain substantially.
64
6aaa8c2f 65* btrfs raid assembly: some .device jobs stay stuck in the queue
c3bb87db 66
e7256c5c
LP
67* Fedora: add an rpmlint check that verifies that all unit files in the RPM are listed in %systemd_post macros.
68
042e33ae
LP
69* Fedora: post FPC ticket to move add %tmpfiles_create to the packaging guidelines
70
e1b7e7ec 71* make sure gdm doesn't use multi-user-x but the new default X configuration file, and then remove multi-user-x from systemd
18d4e7c2 72
36c0868b
LP
73* when parsing calendar timestamps support the UTC timezone (even if we won't support arbitrary timezone specs, support UTC itself certainly makes sense), also support syntaxes such as +0200
74
fa7deadb
LP
75* when a kernel driver logs in a tight loop we should ratelimit that too.
76
c5757cc8 77* "systemctl disable" of a unit instance removes all symlinks, should
69af4503 78 only remove the instance symlink (systemctl disable of a template
c5757cc8
LP
79 unit however should remove them all).
80
81* journald: optionally, log debug messages to /run but everything else to /var
82
d907c208
LP
83* systemctl list-unit-files should list generated files (and probably with a new state "generated" for them, or so)
84
049b4474
LP
85* do we really need both hasprefix() and startswith()?
86
bdeeb6b5
LP
87* journald: when we drop syslog messages because the syslog socket is
88 full, make sure to write how many messages are lost as first thing
89 to syslog when it works again.
90
91* prohibit Restart= set with Type=oneshot
92
93* man: the documentation of Restart= currently is very misleading and suggests the tools from ExecStartPre= might get restarted.
94
95* load .d/*.conf dropins for device units
96
fb6becb4
LP
97* add a fixed dbus path for "my own unit", "my own session", ... to PID1, logind, ...
98
6c12b52e
LP
99* service_coldplug() appears to reinstall the wrong stop timeout watch?
100
11ddb6f4
LP
101* transient units: allow creating auxiliary units with the same call
102
7041efe9
LP
103* how to reset dynamically changed attributes sanely?
104
b42defe3
LP
105* when reloading configuration, apply new cgroup configuration
106
4ad49000 107* journald: make sure ratelimit is actually really per-service with the new cgroup changes
3d3ee759 108
9444b1f2
LP
109* libsystemd-logind: sd_session_is_active() and friends: verify
110 validity of session name before appending it to a path
111
9444b1f2 112* gparted needs to disable auto-activation of mount units somehow, or
69af4503 113 maybe we should stop doing auto-activation of this after boot
9444b1f2 114 entirely. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=701676
466784c8
KS
115 Maybe take a BSD lock at the disk device node and teach udev to
116 check for that and suppress event handling.
9444b1f2 117
a016b922
LP
118* when a service changes state make reflect that in the
119 RUNNING/LISTENING states of its socket
120
a016b922
LP
121* when recursively showing the cgroup hierarchy, optionally also show
122 the hierarchies of child processes
123
1f263d4d
LP
124* document logic of auto/noauto and fail/nofail in fstab in systemd.mount or systemd-fstab-generator man page
125
9444b1f2 126* we should properly escape ssh hostnames we add into dbus server strings
1f263d4d
LP
127
128* something pulls in pcre as so dep into our daemons such as hostnamed.
129
4e09014d
LP
130* document systemd-journal-flush.service properly
131
a65f06bb 132* change systemd-journal-flush into a service that stays around during
4e09014d
LP
133 boot, and causes the journal to be moved back to /run on shutdown,
134 so that we don't keep /var busy. This needs to happen synchronously,
135 hence doing this via signals is not going to work.
136
137* allow implementation of InaccessibleDirectories=/ plus
138 ReadOnlyDirectories=... for whitelisting files for a service.
139
eb01ba5d
LP
140* libsystemd-bus:
141 - default policy (allow uid == 0 and our own uid)
142 - enforce alignment of pointers passed in
eb01ba5d 143 - when kdbus doesn't take our message without memfds, try again with memfds
eb01ba5d
LP
144 - implement translator service
145 - port systemd to new library
146 - implement busname unit type in systemd
147 - move to gvariant
eb01ba5d 148 - merge busctl into systemctl or so?
e4ee6e5c 149 - synthesize sd_bus_message objects from kernel messages
c7819669 150 - properly implement name registry ioctls for kdbus
86312ab8
LP
151 - get rid of object hash table, use decision tree everyhwere instead?
152 - implement monitor logic
153 - object vtable logic
154 - longer term:
155 * priority queues
86312ab8 156 * priority inheritance
eb01ba5d 157
154ff088
LP
158* in the final killing spree, detect processes from the root directory, and
159 complain loudly if they have argv[0][0] == '@' set.
160 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=961044
161
7e853a9b
LP
162* add an option to nspawn that uses seccomp to make socket(AF_NETLINK,
163 SOCK_RAW, NETLINK_AUDIT) fail the the appropriate error code that
164 makes the audit userspace to think auditing is not available in the
165 kernel.
166
d686f034
LP
167* Introduce a way how we can kill the main process of a service with KillSignal, but all processes with SIGKILL later on
168 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=952634
169
69af4503 170* maybe add a warning to the unit file parses where the access mode of unit files is nonsensical.
19aa7c4f 171
69af4503 172* investigate endianness issues of UUID vs. GUID
e8a7a315 173
461bd8e4
LP
174* dbus: when a unit failed to load (i.e. is in UNIT_ERROR state), we
175 should be able to safely try another attempt when the bus call LoadUnit() is invoked.
176
ab8e074c
LP
177* if pam_systemd is invoked by su from a process that is outside of a
178 any session we should probably just become a NOP, since that's
179 usually not a real user session but just some system code that just
180 needs setuid().
181
182* add a pam module that passes the hdd passphrase into the PAM stack and then expires it, for usage by gdm auto-login.
183
184* add a pam module that on password changes updates any LUKS slot where the password matches
185
b454b112
LP
186* maybe add a generator that looks for "systemd.run=" on the kernel cmdline for container usercases...
187
188* timedatctl, localectl: possibly make some commands work without the daemon, for chroot situations...
189
4a449ed7 190* logind: add Suspend() bus calls which take timestamps to fix double suspend issues when somebody hits suspend and closes laptop quickly.
75512303 191
4a449ed7
LP
192* we need dynamic units
193
4ff49cb6
LP
194* cgtop: make cgtop useful in a container
195
fff87a35
ZJS
196* test/:
197 - add 'set -e' to scripts in test/
198 - make stuff in test/ work with separate output dir
199 - remove all the duplicated code in test/
b8b4d3dd 200
b8b4d3dd
LP
201* systemctl delete x.snapshot leaves no trace in logs (at least at default level).
202
3df82d5a
LP
203* make the coredump collector tool move itself into the user's cgroup
204 so that the coredump is properly written to the user's own journal
205 file.
206
b5c03638
LP
207* seems that when we follow symlinks to units we prefer the symlink
208 destination path over /etc and /usr. We shouldn't do that. Instead
209 /etc should always override /run+/usr and also any symlink
210 destination.
211
752beb0c
LP
212* remove duplicate default deps logic from fstab-generator vs. mount.c
213
eece8c6f
LP
214* when isolating, try to figure out a way how we implicitly can order
215 all units we stop before the isolating unit...
216
356ce991
LP
217* add ConditionArchitecture= or so
218
219* teach ConditionKernelCommandLine= globs or regexes (in order to match foobar={no,0,off})
220
3b953d68
JT
221* Support SO_REUSEPORT with socket activation:
222 - Let systemd maintain a pool of servers.
223 - Use for seamless upgrades, by running the new server before stopping the
224 old.
225
09f727ee
LP
226* after all byte-wise realloc() is slow, even on glibc, so i guess we
227 need manual exponential loops after all
228
795607b2
LP
229* BootLoaderSpec: drop allowing ext234 for $BOOT. Clarify that the
230 kernel has to be in $BOOT. Clarify that the boot loader should be
231 installed to the ESP. Define a way how an installer can figure out
232 whether a BLS compliant boot loader is installed.
233
795607b2
LP
234* man: remove .include documentation, and instead push people to use .d/*.conf
235
0be8342c
LP
236* think about requeuing jobs when daemon-reload is issued? usecase:
237 the initrd issues a reload after fstab from the host is accessible
238 and we might want to requeue the mounts local-fs acquired through
239 that automatically.
240
69af4503 241* rework specifier logic so that we can distinguish OOM errors from other errors
487060c2 242
e5ec62c5 243* systemd-inhibit: make taking delay locks useful: support sending SIGINT or SIGTERM on PrepareForSleep()
54c31a79 244
826872b6
LP
245* journal-or-kmsg is currently broken? See reverted commit 4a01181e460686d8b4a543b1dfa7f77c9e3c5ab8.
246
54c31a79 247* remove any syslog support from log.c -- we probably can't do this before split-off udev is gone for good
826872b6 248
8973790e 249* documentation: recommend to connect the timer units of a service to the service via Also= in [Install]
3679d112 250
69af4503 251* add a tool that lists active timer units plus their next elapse and the time the units ran last
3679d112
LP
252
253* man: document the very specific env the shutdown drop-in tools live in
254
255* shutdown logging: store to EFI var, and store to USB stick?
256
69af4503 257* man: extend runlevel(8) to mention that runlevels suck, and are dead. Maybe add runlevel(7) with a note about that too
3679d112
LP
258
259* systemctl: maybe add "systemctl add-wants" or so...
260
3679d112
LP
261* man: add more examples to man pages
262
263* man: maybe sort directives in man pages, and take sections from --help and apply them to man too
264
3679d112
LP
265* write UI tool that pops up emergency messages from the journal as notification
266
267* think about window-manager-run-as-user-service problem: exit 0 → activate shutdown.target; exit != 0 → restart service
268
269* msgcatalog determine default language of entries from the catalog
270 file name. i.e. foobar.de_DE.catalog would set the default entry
271 name for the entries to de_DE if they aren't explicitly suffixed
272 individually.
273
cbb77121
LP
274* use "log level" rather than "log priority" everywhere
275
d01a73b6
LP
276* timedate: have global on/off switches for auto-time (NTP), and auto-timezone that connman can subscribe to.
277
990ffbe5 278* Honour "-" prefix for InaccessibleDirectories= and ReadOnlyDirectories= to
f8aeee1f
LP
279 suppress errors of the specified path doesn't exist
280
281* dev-setup.c: when running in a container, create a tiny stub udev
282 database with the systemd tag set for all network interfaces found,
283 so that libudev reports them as present, and systemd's .device units
284 will be activated.
285
356ce991 286* merge unit_kill_common() and unit_kill_context()
490b7e47 287
81d112a8 288* introduce ExecCondition= in services
490b7e47 289
b44be3ec
LP
290* EFI:
291 - fsck hookup for the ESP mount is missing
292 - write man page for efi boot generator
b44be3ec
LP
293 - honor language efi variables for default language selection (if there are any?)
294 - honor timezone efi variables for default timezone selection (if there are any?)
466784c8 295 - change bootctl to be backed by systemd-bootd to control temporary and persistent default boot goal plus efi variables
e4181484 296
c0fe5db5 297* maybe do not install getty@tty1.service symlink in /etc but in /usr?
e9fd44b7 298
b44be3ec 299* re-enable "make check" for gtk-doc (broken for unknown reason)
e9fd44b7 300
b44be3ec
LP
301* fstab: add new mount option x-systemd-after=/foobar/waldo to allow manual dependencies to other mount points
302 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=812826
3040728b 303
b44be3ec 304* print a nicer explanation if people use variable/specifier expansion in ExecStart= for the first word
8ed20651 305
b44be3ec 306* mount: turn dependency information from /proc/self/mountinfo into dependency information between systemd units.
e6c6e7af 307
b44be3ec
LP
308* logind:
309 - logind: optionally, ignore idle-hint logic for autosuspend, block suspend as long as a session is around
310 - When we update the kernel all kind of hibernation should be prohibited until shutdown/reboot
311 - logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
312 - Add pretty name for seats in logind
313 - logind: allow showing logout dialog from system?
314 - logind: spawn user@..service on login
315 - logind: non-local X11 server handling
316 - logind: add equivalent to sd_pid_get_owner_uid() to the D-Bus API
b44be3ec 317 - pam: when leaving a session explicitly exclude the ReleaseSession() caller process from the killing spree
eb124a97 318 - logind: GetSessionByPID() should accept 0 as PID value
e5ec62c5 319 - we should probably handle SIGTERM/SIGINT to not leave dot files around, just in case
e673ad04 320
b44be3ec 321* exec: when deinitializating a tty device fix the perms and group, too, not only when initializing. Set access mode/gid to 0620/tty.
e673ad04 322
b44be3ec 323* DeviceAllow/DeviceDeny: disallow everything by default, but whitelist /dev/zero, /dev/null and friends
e673ad04 324
b44be3ec 325* service: watchdog logic: for testing purposes allow ping, but do not require pong
e673ad04 326
b44be3ec 327* journal:
b87b8b2b
KS
328 - do not use magic msync() in src/journal/journal-file.c, just call fsync()
329 <alxchk> poettering: looks like msync just calls vfs_fsync
330 http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/mm/msync.c#n18
c06bf414 331 - import and delete pstore filesystem content at startup
b44be3ec
LP
332 - journald: also get thread ID from client, plus thread name
333 - journal: when waiting for journal additions in the client always sleep at least 1s or so, in order to minimize wakeups
334 - add API to close/reopen/get fd for journal client fd in libsystemd-journal.
335 - fallback to /dev/log based logging in libsystemd-journal, if we can't log natively?
336 - declare the local journal protocol stable in the wiki interface chart
337 - journal: reuse XZ context
338 - sd-journal: speed up sd_journal_get_data() with transparent hash table in bg
339 - journald: when dropping msgs due to ratelimit make sure to write
340 "dropped %u messages" not only when we are about to print the next
341 message that works, but alraedy after a short tiemout
342 - check if we can make journalctl by default use --follow mode inside of less if called without args?
343 - maybe add API to send pairs of iovecs via sd_journal_send
344 - journal: when writing journal auto-rotate if time jumps backwards
f47ec8eb 345 - journal: add a setgid "systemd-journal" utility to invoke from libsystemd-journal, which passes fds via STDOUT and does PK access
b44be3ec
LP
346 - journactl: support negative filtering, i.e. FOOBAR!="waldo",
347 and !FOOBAR for events without FOOBAR.
348 - journal: when rotating, copy over old acls/access mode
b44be3ec 349 - journal: send out marker messages every now and then, and immediately sync with fdatasync() afterwards, in order to have hourly guaranteed syncs.
b44be3ec
LP
350 - 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.
351 - journal: find a way to allow dropping history early, based on priority, other rules
352 - journal: When used on NFS, check payload hashes
b44be3ec 353 - journald: check whether it is OK if the client can still modify delivered journal entries
f47ec8eb 354 - journal live copy, based on libneon (client) and libmicrohttpd (server)
b44be3ec
LP
355 - journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
356 - refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
357 - journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
358 - journal: deal nicely with byte-by-byte copied files, especially regards header
77a9e8de 359 - journalctl: expand tabs
b44be3ec
LP
360 - journal: store euid in journal if it differs from uid
361 - journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the components would fit
601d9d6f
JT
362 - Replace utmp, wtmp, btmp, and lastlog completely with journal
363 - Port upower to use the journal for historical power information used in future calculations
b44be3ec
LP
364
365* document:
366 - document unit_name_mangle()
367 - document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fileds in
368 [Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
369 - man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
370 - Document word splitting syntax for ExecStart= and friends
371 - document that units from /etc override those from /usr and /run
372 - document the exit codes when services fail before they are exec()ed
b44be3ec 373 - document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
eb124a97 374 - document in wiki how to map ical recurrence events to systemd timer unit calendar specifications
b44be3ec
LP
375
376* systemctl:
377 - systemctl list-jobs - show dependencies
378 - add systemctl switch to dump transaction without executing it
379 - Add a verbose mode to "systemctl start" and friends that explains what is being done or not done
380 - "systemctl disable" on a static unit prints no message and does
381 nothing. "systemctl enable" does nothing, and gives a bad message
382 about it. Should fix both to print nice actionable messages.
383 - print nice message from systemctl --failed if there are no entries shown, and hook that into ExecStartPre of rescue.service/emergency.service
384 - add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
385 - systemctl enable: improve the success messages (i.e. more human readable, less shell-like)
386 - systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into doesn't exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
387 - systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
388 - support "systemctl stop foobar@.service" to stop all units matching a certain template

393* deal with sendmail/postfix exclusivity

395* timer units:
396 - configurable jitter for timer events
397 - timer events with system resume
398 - timer units should get the ability to trigger when:
399 o CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (TFD_TIMER_CANCEL_ON_SET)
400 o DST changes
eb124a97 401 - Support 2012-02~4 as syntax for specifying the fourth to last day of the month.

405* sync down the system time to the RTC when:
f6113d42
KS
406 - CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (the user explicitely requested a time set)
407 - DST/timezone changes && ntp is active && RTC-in-localtime (never do it without ntp)
d2e83c23 408 This takes care of syncing ntpdate updates to the RTC, and DST updates for localtime
7a43e910 409 mode, it will never touch the RTC if the no reliable time source is active or the
d2e83c23 410 user did not request anything like it.

LP
416* libunwind support for coredump pattern hook, and includes this in
417 the message for coredumps. After all, libunwind is now capable to
418 unwind coredumps since a few weeks ago. This probably requires that
7f873283

419 we have nice support for multi-line messages on display in

511* drop PID 1 reloading, only do reexecing (difficult: Reload()
512 currently is properly synchronous, Reexec() is weird, because we
513 can't delay the response properly until we are back, so instead of
514 being properly synchronous we just keep open the fd and close it
edca2e23 515 when done. That means clients don't get a successful method reply,

557 - call umount
