7db293c4
KS
2* systemd-journald seems to randomly hang on shutdown, likely not handling
3 SIGTERM, shutdown blocks until we send SIGKILL at the very end.
4
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.

ZJS
17* add 'set -e' to scripts in test/
18* make test in test/ work with separate output dir
19
2f8d077e
KS
20* suppress log output on shutdown when "quiet" is used
21
2d19f95c 22Fedora 19:
3679d112 23
2f8d077e 24* make anaconda write timeout=0 for encrypted devices
81d112a8 25
a4cc3e5c
LP
26* external: maybe it is time to patch procps so that "ps" links to
27 libsystemd-logind to print a pretty service name, seat name, session
28 name in its output. Currently it only shows cgroup membership, but
0028da22 29 that's sometimes kinda hard to parse for a human.
a4cc3e5c 30
7e2c2bcf 31* cgroup attrs:
f0c15f28 32 - update dbus interface docs in wiki
7b4da18c 33
b44be3ec 34* journal is not closed properly at shutdown when run in a container?
205b7fa4 35
81d112a8
LP
36* localed:
37 - localectl: add listing support for X11 keymaps, by parsing /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/xorg.lst
38 - localectl: support new converted x11→console keymaps
39
eb124a97 40* logind: Class property should probably know "background" or so as value for cron jobs, and the inhibition checks should filter those out too.
990ffbe5 41
dd359de8
LP
42* timer logic is confused by units which are skipped due to failing condition
43 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2013-February/008816.html
44
61a9648f
LP
45* timer logic is also confused if a service it triggers hasn't finished when the next timer elapses:

LP
50* snapshots really should be isolatable, but currently aren't.
51
b5c03638
LP
52* seems that when we follow symlinks to units we prefer the symlink
53 destination path over /etc and /usr. We shouldn't do that. Instead
54 /etc should always override /run+/usr and also any symlink
55 destination.
56
752beb0c
LP
57* remove duplicate default deps logic from fstab-generator vs. mount.c
58
eece8c6f
LP
59* when isolating, try to figure out a way how we implicitly can order
60 all units we stop before the isolating unit...
61
d325d9bc
KS
62* teach udev + logind's uaccess to somehow handle the "dead" device nodes from:
63 /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/modules.devname
64 and apply ACLs to them if they have TAG=="uaccess" in udev rules.
3679d112 65
64e30145
LP
66* matching against units is currently broken in journalctl. We really
67 need another AND level in the expressions,
68 i.e. sd_journal_add_conjunction().
69
356ce991
LP
70* add ConditionArchitecture= or so
71
72* teach ConditionKernelCommandLine= globs or regexes (in order to match foobar={no,0,off})
73
bfa00bc6
LP
74* hostnamectl: when a passed pretty hostname also qualifies as low-level name, then only set low-level name, and unset the pretty hostname
75
76* we should log capabilities too
77
3b953d68
JT
78* Support SO_REUSEPORT with socket activation:
79 - Let systemd maintain a pool of servers.
80 - Use for seamless upgrades, by running the new server before stopping the
81 old.
82
09f727ee
LP
83* after all byte-wise realloc() is slow, even on glibc, so i guess we
84 need manual exponential loops after all
85
795607b2
LP
86* BootLoaderSpec: drop allowing ext234 for $BOOT. Clarify that the
87 kernel has to be in $BOOT. Clarify that the boot loader should be
88 installed to the ESP. Define a way how an installer can figure out
89 whether a BLS compliant boot loader is installed.
90
795607b2
LP
91* man: remove .include documentation, and instead push people to use .d/*.conf
92
93* disallow .include from included files
94
247c873b
LP
95* safe_atod() is too naive, as it is vulnerable to locale parameters, should be locale independent.
96
0be8342c
LP
97* think about requeuing jobs when daemon-reload is issued? usecase:
98 the initrd issues a reload after fstab from the host is accessible
99 and we might want to requeue the mounts local-fs acquired through
100 that automatically.
101
6bc80e94
LP
102* neither pkexec nor sudo initialize environ[] from the PAM environment?
103
487060c2
LP
104* rework specifier logic so that we can distuingish OOM errors from other errors
105
54c31a79
LP
106* systemd-inhibit: refuse taking delay locks
107
826872b6
LP
108* journal-or-kmsg is currently broken? See reverted commit 4a01181e460686d8b4a543b1dfa7f77c9e3c5ab8.
109
54c31a79 110* remove any syslog support from log.c -- we probably can't do this before split-off udev is gone for good
826872b6 111
3679d112
LP
112* fedora: connect the timer units of a service to the service via Also= in [Install], and maybe introduce timers.target
113
114* fedora: F20: go timer units all the way, leave cron.daily for cron
115
116* add a tool that lists active timer units plus their next elapstion and the time the units ran last
117
118* man: document the very specific env the shutdown drop-in tools live in
119
120* shutdown logging: store to EFI var, and store to USB stick?
121
122* man: extend runlevel(8) to mention that runlevels suck, and are dead. Maybe add runlevel(7) with a note about that too
123
124* systemctl: maybe add "systemctl add-wants" or so...
125
126* man: add a link to socket activation blog from systemd.socket(5)
127
128* systemctl status: show drop-in snippets for service files in addition to service file path themesevles.
129
130* man: add more examples to man pages
131
132* man: maybe sort directives in man pages, and take sections from --help and apply them to man too
133
3679d112
LP
134* add "# export SYSTEMD_PAGER=" to bash login
135
136* /usr/bin/service should actually show the new command line
137
138* 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=
139
140* write UI tool that pops up emergency messages from the journal as notification
141
142* think about window-manager-run-as-user-service problem: exit 0 → activate shutdown.target; exit != 0 → restart service
143
144* msgcatalog determine default language of entries from the catalog
145 file name. i.e. foobar.de_DE.catalog would set the default entry
146 name for the entries to de_DE if they aren't explicitly suffixed
147 individually.
148
3ac525bd
LP
149* figure out what we do about hostnames/fqdn in hostnamectl/hostnamed
150
cbb77121
LP
151* use "log level" rather than "log priority" everywhere
152
dd359de8
LP
153* ensure sd_journal_seek_monotonic actually works properly.
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
e673ad04 198
b44be3ec 199* exec: when deinitializating a tty device fix the perms and group, too, not only when initializing. Set access mode/gid to 0620/tty.
e673ad04 200
b44be3ec 201* DeviceAllow/DeviceDeny: disallow everything by default, but whitelist /dev/zero, /dev/null and friends
e673ad04 202
b44be3ec 203* service: watchdog logic: for testing purposes allow ping, but do not require pong
e673ad04 204
b44be3ec 205* journal:
b87b8b2b
KS
206 - do not use magic msync() in src/journal/journal-file.c, just call fsync()
207 <alxchk> poettering: looks like msync just calls vfs_fsync
208 http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/mm/msync.c#n18
c06bf414 209 - import and delete pstore filesystem content at startup
b44be3ec
LP
210 - journald: also get thread ID from client, plus thread name
211 - journal: when waiting for journal additions in the client always sleep at least 1s or so, in order to minimize wakeups
212 - add API to close/reopen/get fd for journal client fd in libsystemd-journal.
213 - fallback to /dev/log based logging in libsystemd-journal, if we can't log natively?
214 - declare the local journal protocol stable in the wiki interface chart
215 - journal: reuse XZ context
216 - sd-journal: speed up sd_journal_get_data() with transparent hash table in bg
217 - journald: when dropping msgs due to ratelimit make sure to write
218 "dropped %u messages" not only when we are about to print the next
219 message that works, but alraedy after a short tiemout
220 - check if we can make journalctl by default use --follow mode inside of less if called without args?
221 - maybe add API to send pairs of iovecs via sd_journal_send
222 - journal: when writing journal auto-rotate if time jumps backwards
223 - gatewayd: should run under its own UID
f47ec8eb 224 - journal: add a setgid "systemd-journal" utility to invoke from libsystemd-journal, which passes fds via STDOUT and does PK access
b44be3ec
LP
225 - journactl: support negative filtering, i.e. FOOBAR!="waldo",
226 and !FOOBAR for events without FOOBAR.
227 - journal: when rotating, copy over old acls/access mode
b44be3ec 228 - journal: send out marker messages every now and then, and immediately sync with fdatasync() afterwards, in order to have hourly guaranteed syncs.
b44be3ec
LP
229 - 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.
230 - journal: find a way to allow dropping history early, based on priority, other rules
231 - journal: When used on NFS, check payload hashes
232 - journal: When used on NFS make sure wake up sd_journal_wait() every 2s, to handle missing inotify
b44be3ec
LP
233 - Introduce journalctl -b <nr> to show journal messages of a previous boot
234 - journald: check whether it is OK if the client can still modify delivered journal entries
f47ec8eb 235 - journal live copy, based on libneon (client) and libmicrohttpd (server)
b44be3ec
LP
236 - journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
237 - refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
238 - journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
239 - journal: deal nicely with byte-by-byte copied files, especially regards header
240 - journalctl: show multiline log messages sanely, expand tabs, and show all valid utf8 messages
241 - journal: store euid in journal if it differs from uid
242 - journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the components would fit
2e4015f3 243 - 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
244
245* document:
246 - document unit_name_mangle()
247 - document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fileds in
248 [Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
249 - man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
250 - Document word splitting syntax for ExecStart= and friends
251 - document that units from /etc override those from /usr and /run
252 - document the exit codes when services fail before they are exec()ed
b44be3ec 253 - document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
eb124a97 254 - document in wiki how to map ical recurrence events to systemd timer unit calendar specifications
b44be3ec
LP
255
256* systemctl:
257 - systemctl list-jobs - show dependencies
258 - add systemctl switch to dump transaction without executing it
259 - Add a verbose mode to "systemctl start" and friends that explains what is being done or not done
260 - "systemctl disable" on a static unit prints no message and does
261 nothing. "systemctl enable" does nothing, and gives a bad message
262 about it. Should fix both to print nice actionable messages.
263 - print nice message from systemctl --failed if there are no entries shown, and hook that into ExecStartPre of rescue.service/emergency.service
264 - add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
265 - systemctl enable: improve the success messages (i.e. more human readable, less shell-like)
266 - systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into doesn't exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
267 - systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
268 - support "systemctl stop foobar@.service" to stop all units matching a certain template
269 - Something is wrong with symlink handling of "autovt@.service" in "systemctl list-unit-files"
7ba97195
ZJS
270 - add configuration/switches to use
271 freeze (http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git) and
272 standby (https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=57793) as suspend modes
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

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
1920e37e
LP
345* WorkingDirectory: support env var replacements like in ExecStart= so that people can use $HOME
346
15abdb9a 347* refuse boot if /etc/machine-id is not useful (or set taint?)
1920e37e 348
b44be3ec
LP
349* nspawn:
350 - nspawn: consider changing users for -u with su, so that NSS resolving works correctly
351 - nspawn: implement personality changes a la linux32(8)
352 - nspawn: --read-only is not applied recursively to submounts
353 - nspawn: make use of device cgroup controller by default
354 - bind mount read-only the cgroup tree higher than nspawn
eb124a97
LP
355 - nspawn: investigate whether we can support the same as LXC's
356 lxc.network.type=phys mode, and pass through entire network
357 interfaces to the container
358 - nspawn: maybe add a way to drop additional caps, in addition to add additional caps
359 - nspawn: maybe explicitly reset loginuid?
3679d112
LP
360 - nspawn: move all containers to name=systemd:/containers/, and introduce externally visible names for containers
361 - nspawn: make it work for dwalsh and shared /usr containers -- tmpfs mounts as command line parameters, selinux exec context
b44be3ec
LP
362
363* cryptsetup:
364 - cryptsetup-generator: warn if the password files are world-readable
365 - cryptsetup-generator: add RequiresMountsFor= to cryptseup service files referencing a file, similar for devices
366 - cryptsetup-generator: allow specification of passwords in crypttab itself
367 - move cryptsetup key caching into kernel keyctl?
368 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54982
369 - when key file cannot be found, read it from kbd in cryptsetup
f8019684 370
de34a42b
LP
371* move debug shell to tty6 and make sure this doesn't break the gettys on tty6
372
424a19f8 373* hw watchdog: optionally try to use the preset watchdog timeout instead of always overriding it
41f9172f 374 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54712
424a19f8

d05c556b 381 (network and remote-fs on shutdown)
8556879e 382
8556879e
LP
383* come up with a nice way to write queue/read_ahead_kb for a block device without interfering with readahead
384
4a30847b
LP
385* move PID 1 segfaults to /var/lib/systemd/coredump?
386

397* shutdown: don't read-only mount anything when running in container
398
68f16003 399* MountFlags=shared acts as MountFlags=slave right now.
0790b9fe 400
5a7e9599
LP
401* ReadOnlyDirectories= is not applied recursively to submounts
402
68f16003
LP
403* drop PID 1 reloading, only do reexecing (difficult: Reload()
404 currently is properly synchronous, Reexec() is weird, because we
405 can't delay the response properly until we are back, so instead of
406 being properly synchronous we just keep open the fd and close it
edca2e23 407 when done. That means clients don't get a successful method reply,
68f16003 408 but much rather a disconnect on success.
0790b9fe 409
5aea932f
LP
410* remember which condition failed for services, not just the fact that something failed

421
88a6c589 422* rename "userspace" to "core-os"
8351ceae 423
b44be3ec
LP
424* syscall filter:
425 - syscall filter: add knowledge about compat syscalls
426 - syscall filter: don't enforce no new privs?
427 - syscall filter: option to return EPERM rather than SIGSYS?
428 - syscall filter: port to libseccomp
429 - system-wide seccomp filter

447
b86fa936
LP
448* move passno parsing to fstab generator
449
d3a3f222
KS
450* automount: implement expire:
451 - set superblock timeout AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_TIMEOUT_CMD
452 - periodically run AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_EXPIRE_CMD
453 - every timeout/4 (original autofs logic)
454 - blocking, needs a thread
455 - run until -EAGAIN
456 - receive expire packet on pipe if kernel tells the timeout is over
457 - call umount
458 - answer expire packet on pipe with AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_{READY,FAIL}_CMD
459 - AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_EXPIRE_CMD returns
465349c0 460

476* dbus upstream still refers to dbus.target and shouldn't
477
169c4f65
LP
478* when a service has the same env var set twice we actually store it twice and return that in systemctl show -p... We should only show the last setting

486* There's currently no way to cancel fsck (used to be possible via C-c or c on the console)
487
d0e5a333

488* add option to sockets to avoid activation. Instead just drop packets/connections, see http://cyberelk.net/tim/2012/02/15/portreserve-systemd-solution/
489
d0e5a333

8d0e38a2 534
f28f1daf
LP
535* verify that the AF_UNIX sockets of a service in the fs still exist
536 when we start a service in order to avoid confusion when a user
537 assumes starting a service is enough to make it accessible
538
88a07670
LP
539* Make it possible to set the keymap independently from the font on
540 the kernel cmdline. Right now setting one resets also the other.
541
71092d70 542* and a dbus call to generate target from current state

69b1c674
KS
629* NTP: the kernel's 11-minutes-mode syncs the system time to the RTC, but only
630 in an ~30 minutes window. It does not adjust larger differences. Find a way
631 to tell the kernel, to always do a full time sync when the RTC is in UTC and
632 we are in 11-minutes-mode. When we trust the system time to NTP we also want
633 the RTC to sync up.
634
