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:
154ff088 31
d5a2b9a6
LP
32* libsystemd-journal:
33 - return ECHILD as soon as somebody tries to reuse a journal object across a fork()
34
eb01ba5d
LP
35* libsystemd-bus:
36 - default policy (allow uid == 0 and our own uid)
37 - enforce alignment of pointers passed in
38 - negotiation for attach attributes
eb01ba5d
LP
39 - when kdbus doesn't take our message without memfds, try again with memfds
40 - kdbus: generate correct bloom filter for matches
41 - implement translator service
42 - port systemd to new library
43 - implement busname unit type in systemd
44 - move to gvariant
45 - minimal locking around the memfd cache
46 - keep the connection fds around as long as the bus is open
eb01ba5d 47 - merge busctl into systemctl or so?
e4ee6e5c 48 - synthesize sd_bus_message objects from kernel messages
eb01ba5d 49

LP
50* in the final killing spree, detect processes from the root directory, and
51 complain loudly if they have argv[0][0] == '@' set.
52 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=961044
53
32821c76
KS
54* read the kernel's console "debug" keyword like we read "quiet" and adjust:
55 systemd.log_level=debug and maybe systemd.log_target=kmsg
3df82d5a 56
7e853a9b
LP
57* add an option to nspawn that uses seccomp to make socket(AF_NETLINK,
58 SOCK_RAW, NETLINK_AUDIT) fail the the appropriate error code that
59 makes the audit userspace to think auditing is not available in the
60 kernel.
61
d686f034
LP
62* Introduce a way how we can kill the main process of a service with KillSignal, but all processes with SIGKILL later on
63 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=952634
64
19aa7c4f
LP
65* maybe add a warning to the unit file parses whern the acces mode of unit files is non-sensical.
66
aa96c6cb 67* investigate endianess issues of UUID vs. GUID
e8a7a315 68
ef3b5246
LP
69* see if we can fix https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=63672
70 without dropping the location cache entirely.
71
461bd8e4
LP
72* dbus: when a unit failed to load (i.e. is in UNIT_ERROR state), we
73 should be able to safely try another attempt when the bus call LoadUnit() is invoked.
74
ab8e074c
LP
75* if pam_systemd is invoked by su from a process that is outside of a
76 any session we should probably just become a NOP, since that's
77 usually not a real user session but just some system code that just
78 needs setuid().
79
80* add a pam module that passes the hdd passphrase into the PAM stack and then expires it, for usage by gdm auto-login.
81
82* add a pam module that on password changes updates any LUKS slot where the password matches
83
b454b112
LP
84* maybe add a generator that looks for "systemd.run=" on the kernel cmdline for container usercases...
85
86* timedatctl, localectl: possibly make some commands work without the daemon, for chroot situations...
87
4a449ed7 88* logind: add Suspend() bus calls which take timestamps to fix double suspend issues when somebody hits suspend and closes laptop quickly.
75512303 89
4a449ed7
LP
90* we need dynamic units
91
4a449ed7
LP
92* add s.th. like "systemctl set-log-level debug"
93
4ff49cb6
LP
94* cgtop: make cgtop useful in a container
95
fff87a35
ZJS
96* test/:
97 - add 'set -e' to scripts in test/
98 - make stuff in test/ work with separate output dir
99 - remove all the duplicated code in test/
b8b4d3dd
LP
100
101* suppress log output on shutdown when "quiet" is used
102
103* systemctl delete x.snapshot leaves no trace in logs (at least at default level).
104
3df82d5a
LP
105* make the coredump collector tool move itself into the user's cgroup
106 so that the coredump is properly written to the user's own journal
107 file.
108
5666ea6f
KS
109* move /usr/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/modules.devname parsing from udevd to
110 kmod static-nodes
111 call kmod as an early service, and drop CAP_MKNOD from udevd.service
a9602630 112
b5c03638
LP
113* seems that when we follow symlinks to units we prefer the symlink
114 destination path over /etc and /usr. We shouldn't do that. Instead
115 /etc should always override /run+/usr and also any symlink
116 destination.
117
752beb0c
LP
118* remove duplicate default deps logic from fstab-generator vs. mount.c
119
eece8c6f
LP
120* when isolating, try to figure out a way how we implicitly can order
121 all units we stop before the isolating unit...
122
d325d9bc
KS
123* teach udev + logind's uaccess to somehow handle the "dead" device nodes from:
124 /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/modules.devname
125 and apply ACLs to them if they have TAG=="uaccess" in udev rules.
3679d112 126
356ce991
LP
127* add ConditionArchitecture= or so
128
129* teach ConditionKernelCommandLine= globs or regexes (in order to match foobar={no,0,off})
130
bfa00bc6
LP
131* we should log capabilities too
132
3b953d68
JT
133* Support SO_REUSEPORT with socket activation:
134 - Let systemd maintain a pool of servers.
135 - Use for seamless upgrades, by running the new server before stopping the
136 old.
137
09f727ee
LP
138* after all byte-wise realloc() is slow, even on glibc, so i guess we
139 need manual exponential loops after all
140
795607b2
LP
141* BootLoaderSpec: drop allowing ext234 for $BOOT. Clarify that the
142 kernel has to be in $BOOT. Clarify that the boot loader should be
143 installed to the ESP. Define a way how an installer can figure out
144 whether a BLS compliant boot loader is installed.
145
795607b2
LP
146* man: remove .include documentation, and instead push people to use .d/*.conf
147
0be8342c
LP
148* think about requeuing jobs when daemon-reload is issued? usecase:
149 the initrd issues a reload after fstab from the host is accessible
150 and we might want to requeue the mounts local-fs acquired through
151 that automatically.
152
487060c2
LP
153* rework specifier logic so that we can distuingish OOM errors from other errors
154
e5ec62c5 155* systemd-inhibit: make taking delay locks useful: support sending SIGINT or SIGTERM on PrepareForSleep()
54c31a79 156
826872b6
LP
157* journal-or-kmsg is currently broken? See reverted commit 4a01181e460686d8b4a543b1dfa7f77c9e3c5ab8.
158
54c31a79 159* remove any syslog support from log.c -- we probably can't do this before split-off udev is gone for good
826872b6 160
8973790e 161* documentation: recommend to connect the timer units of a service to the service via Also= in [Install]
3679d112
LP
162
163* add a tool that lists active timer units plus their next elapstion and the time the units ran last
164
165* man: document the very specific env the shutdown drop-in tools live in
166
167* shutdown logging: store to EFI var, and store to USB stick?
168
169* man: extend runlevel(8) to mention that runlevels suck, and are dead. Maybe add runlevel(7) with a note about that too
170
171* systemctl: maybe add "systemctl add-wants" or so...
172
3679d112
LP
173* man: add more examples to man pages
174
175* man: maybe sort directives in man pages, and take sections from --help and apply them to man too
176
3679d112
LP
177* write UI tool that pops up emergency messages from the journal as notification
178
179* think about window-manager-run-as-user-service problem: exit 0 → activate shutdown.target; exit != 0 → restart service
180
181* msgcatalog determine default language of entries from the catalog
182 file name. i.e. foobar.de_DE.catalog would set the default entry
183 name for the entries to de_DE if they aren't explicitly suffixed
184 individually.
185
cbb77121
LP
186* use "log level" rather than "log priority" everywhere
187
d01a73b6
LP
188* timedate: have global on/off switches for auto-time (NTP), and auto-timezone that connman can subscribe to.
189
990ffbe5 190* Honour "-" prefix for InaccessibleDirectories= and ReadOnlyDirectories= to
f8aeee1f
LP
191 suppress errors of the specified path doesn't exist
192
193* dev-setup.c: when running in a container, create a tiny stub udev
194 database with the systemd tag set for all network interfaces found,
195 so that libudev reports them as present, and systemd's .device units
196 will be activated.
197
356ce991 198* merge unit_kill_common() and unit_kill_context()
490b7e47 199
81d112a8 200* introduce ExecCondition= in services
490b7e47 201
b44be3ec
LP
202* EFI:
203 - fsck hookup for the ESP mount is missing
204 - write man page for efi boot generator
b44be3ec
LP
205 - honor language efi variables for default language selection (if there are any?)
206 - honor timezone efi variables for default timezone selection (if there are any?)
207 - introduce bootctl (backed by systemd-bootd) to control temporary and persistent default boot goal plus efi variables
e4181484 208
c0fe5db5 209* maybe do not install getty@tty1.service symlink in /etc but in /usr?
e9fd44b7 210
b44be3ec 211* re-enable "make check" for gtk-doc (broken for unknown reason)
e9fd44b7 212
b44be3ec
LP
213* fstab: add new mount option x-systemd-after=/foobar/waldo to allow manual dependencies to other mount points
214 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=812826
3040728b 215
b44be3ec 216* print a nicer explanation if people use variable/specifier expansion in ExecStart= for the first word
8ed20651 217
b44be3ec 218* mount: turn dependency information from /proc/self/mountinfo into dependency information between systemd units.
e6c6e7af 219
b44be3ec
LP
220* logind:
221 - logind: optionally, ignore idle-hint logic for autosuspend, block suspend as long as a session is around
222 - When we update the kernel all kind of hibernation should be prohibited until shutdown/reboot
223 - logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
224 - Add pretty name for seats in logind
225 - logind: allow showing logout dialog from system?
226 - logind: spawn user@..service on login
227 - logind: non-local X11 server handling
228 - logind: add equivalent to sd_pid_get_owner_uid() to the D-Bus API
b44be3ec 229 - pam: when leaving a session explicitly exclude the ReleaseSession() caller process from the killing spree
eb124a97 230 - logind: GetSessionByPID() should accept 0 as PID value
e5ec62c5 231 - we should probably handle SIGTERM/SIGINT to not leave dot files around, just in case
e673ad04 232
b44be3ec 233* exec: when deinitializating a tty device fix the perms and group, too, not only when initializing. Set access mode/gid to 0620/tty.
e673ad04 234
b44be3ec 235* DeviceAllow/DeviceDeny: disallow everything by default, but whitelist /dev/zero, /dev/null and friends
e673ad04 236
b44be3ec 237* service: watchdog logic: for testing purposes allow ping, but do not require pong
e673ad04 238
b44be3ec 239* journal:
b87b8b2b
KS
240 - do not use magic msync() in src/journal/journal-file.c, just call fsync()
241 <alxchk> poettering: looks like msync just calls vfs_fsync
242 http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/mm/msync.c#n18
c06bf414 243 - import and delete pstore filesystem content at startup
b44be3ec
LP
244 - journald: also get thread ID from client, plus thread name
245 - journal: when waiting for journal additions in the client always sleep at least 1s or so, in order to minimize wakeups
246 - add API to close/reopen/get fd for journal client fd in libsystemd-journal.
247 - fallback to /dev/log based logging in libsystemd-journal, if we can't log natively?
248 - declare the local journal protocol stable in the wiki interface chart
249 - journal: reuse XZ context
250 - sd-journal: speed up sd_journal_get_data() with transparent hash table in bg
251 - journald: when dropping msgs due to ratelimit make sure to write
252 "dropped %u messages" not only when we are about to print the next
253 message that works, but alraedy after a short tiemout
254 - check if we can make journalctl by default use --follow mode inside of less if called without args?
255 - maybe add API to send pairs of iovecs via sd_journal_send
256 - journal: when writing journal auto-rotate if time jumps backwards
f47ec8eb 257 - journal: add a setgid "systemd-journal" utility to invoke from libsystemd-journal, which passes fds via STDOUT and does PK access
b44be3ec
LP
258 - journactl: support negative filtering, i.e. FOOBAR!="waldo",
259 and !FOOBAR for events without FOOBAR.
260 - journal: when rotating, copy over old acls/access mode
b44be3ec 261 - journal: send out marker messages every now and then, and immediately sync with fdatasync() afterwards, in order to have hourly guaranteed syncs.
b44be3ec
LP
262 - 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.
263 - journal: find a way to allow dropping history early, based on priority, other rules
264 - journal: When used on NFS, check payload hashes
b44be3ec
LP
265 - Introduce journalctl -b <nr> to show journal messages of a previous boot
266 - journald: check whether it is OK if the client can still modify delivered journal entries
f47ec8eb 267 - journal live copy, based on libneon (client) and libmicrohttpd (server)
b44be3ec
LP
268 - journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
269 - refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
270 - journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
271 - journal: deal nicely with byte-by-byte copied files, especially regards header
272 - journalctl: show multiline log messages sanely, expand tabs, and show all valid utf8 messages
273 - journal: store euid in journal if it differs from uid
274 - journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the components would fit
601d9d6f
JT
275 - Replace utmp, wtmp, btmp, and lastlog completely with journal
276 - Port upower to use the journal for historical power information used in future calculations
b44be3ec
LP
277
278* document:
279 - document unit_name_mangle()
280 - document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fileds in
281 [Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
282 - man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
283 - Document word splitting syntax for ExecStart= and friends
284 - document that units from /etc override those from /usr and /run
285 - document the exit codes when services fail before they are exec()ed
b44be3ec 286 - document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
eb124a97 287 - document in wiki how to map ical recurrence events to systemd timer unit calendar specifications
b44be3ec
LP
288
289* systemctl:
290 - systemctl list-jobs - show dependencies
291 - add systemctl switch to dump transaction without executing it
292 - Add a verbose mode to "systemctl start" and friends that explains what is being done or not done
293 - "systemctl disable" on a static unit prints no message and does
294 nothing. "systemctl enable" does nothing, and gives a bad message
295 about it. Should fix both to print nice actionable messages.
296 - print nice message from systemctl --failed if there are no entries shown, and hook that into ExecStartPre of rescue.service/emergency.service
297 - add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
298 - systemctl enable: improve the success messages (i.e. more human readable, less shell-like)
299 - systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into doesn't exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
300 - systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
301 - support "systemctl stop foobar@.service" to stop all units matching a certain template
302 - Something is wrong with symlink handling of "autovt@.service" in "systemctl list-unit-files"
8b04b925 303
e673ad04
LP
304* introduce ntp.service (or suchlike) as symlink that is used to arbitrate between various NTP implementations
305
b44be3ec
LP
306* deal with sendmail/postfix exclusivity
307
308* timer units:
309 - configurable jitter for timer events
310 - timer events with system resume
311 - timer units should get the ability to trigger when:
312 o CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (TFD_TIMER_CANCEL_ON_SET)
313 o DST changes
eb124a97 314 - Support 2012-02~4 as syntax for specifying the fourth to last day of the month.
d2e83c23
KS
315
316* update the kernel's TZ (sys_tz) when DST changes
317
318* sync down the system time to the RTC when:
f6113d42
KS
319 - CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (the user explicitely requested a time set)
320 - DST/timezone changes && ntp is active && RTC-in-localtime (never do it without ntp)
d2e83c23 321 This takes care of syncing ntpdate updates to the RTC, and DST updates for localtime
7a43e910 322 mode, it will never touch the RTC if the no reliable time source is active or the
d2e83c23 323 user did not request anything like it.
c55b1b59 324
6c1703cc
KS
325* hwdb:
326 - implement conditional properties (dmi matches)
327 - hwdb --filter=ID_DRIVE_*
08f95888 328
59704f3e
LP
329* if booted in "quiet" mode, and an error happens, turn on status
330 output again, so that the emergency mode isn't totally
331 surprising. Also, terminate plymouth.
9ec82de1 332
e707c494
LP
333* libunwind support for coredump pattern hook, and includes this in
334 the message for coredumps. After all, libunwind is now capable to
335 unwind coredumps since a few weeks ago. This probably requires that
7f873283
LP
336 we have nice support for multi-line messages on display in
337 logs-show.c. Alternatively: use libelfutil, which seems to be the
338 better supported alternative.
e707c494 339
e707c494
LP
340* figure out relation of --all and --full in the various tools
341
a19554ed
LP
342* add libsystemd-password or so to query passwords during boot using the password agent logic
343
1cb88f2c
LP
344* 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().
345
346* fedup: add --unit to systemctl switch-root somehow
347* fedup: don't delete initrd on switch-root
348* fedup: generator
603cd8fe 349
b44be3ec 350* timedated:
b44be3ec 351 - timedated: refuse time changes when NTP is on
6d0274f1 352
a7a3f28b
LP
353* clean up date formatting and parsing so that all absolute/relative timestamps we format can also be parsed
354
9b27910b
LP
355* introduce generic AUGMENT_PID=, AUGMENT_DEVICE= fields
356
b44be3ec 357* on shutdown: move utmp, wall, audit logic all into PID 1 (or logind?), get rid of systemd-update-utmp-runlevel
08f95888 358
7d8197d1
KS
359* add "provisioning" instructions to setup an empty /etc + /var
360 - used to setup a new container from a shared /usr
361 - superset of tmpfiles model
362 - instructions shipped by packages and stored in /usr/lib/
363 - compose /etc/passwd and /etc/group, copy files
364 - able to create uid + gid used by packages, for file ownership
365
9ee58bdd
KS
366* make repeated alt-ctrl-del presses printing a dump, or even force a reboot without
367 waiting for the timeout
dcfc4b2e 368
71ef24d0
LP
369* high level net_prio setting in execution context
370
71ef24d0
LP
371* hostnamed: before returning information from /etc/machine-info.conf check the modification data and reread. Similar for localed, ...
372
1b89884b
LP
373* currently x-systemd.timeout is lost in the initrd, since crypttab is copied into dracut, but fstab isn't
374
15abdb9a 375* refuse boot if /etc/machine-id is not useful (or set taint?)
1920e37e 376
b44be3ec
LP
377* nspawn:
378 - nspawn: consider changing users for -u with su, so that NSS resolving works correctly
379 - nspawn: implement personality changes a la linux32(8)
380 - nspawn: --read-only is not applied recursively to submounts
381 - nspawn: make use of device cgroup controller by default
382 - bind mount read-only the cgroup tree higher than nspawn
eb124a97
LP
383 - nspawn: investigate whether we can support the same as LXC's

428* drop PID 1 reloading, only do reexecing (difficult: Reload()
429 currently is properly synchronous, Reexec() is weird, because we

431 being properly synchronous we just keep open the fd and close it
edca2e23 432 when done. That means clients don't get a successful method reply,

643 in an ~30 minutes window. It does not adjust larger differences. Find a way
644 to tell the kernel, to always do a full time sync when the RTC is in UTC and
645 we are in 11-minutes-mode. When we trust the system time to NTP we also want
