2 * check systemd-tmpfiles for selinux context hookup for mknod(), symlink() and similar
4 * swap units that are activated by one name but shown in the kernel under another are semi-broken
6 * make anaconda write timeout=0 for encrypted devices
8 * make sure timeouts are applied to Type=oneshot services.
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.
14 * make polkit checks async
16 * properly handle .mount unit state tracking when two mount points are stacked one on top of another on the exact same mount point.
19 * cg_shorten_controllers() misuses alloca()
21 * suspend/hibernate/hybrid support, auto-suspend logic with idle hint
23 * udev: find a way to tell udev to not cancel firmware requests when running in initramfs
25 * udev: scsi_id -> sg3_utils -> kill scsi_id
27 * udev: add trigger --subsystem-match=usb/usb_device device
30 - use symbol versioning
31 - always return object with *_unref()
32 - remove deprecated symbols
33 - udev_monitor_from_socket()
34 - udev_queue_get_failed_list_entry()
35 - udev_get_{dev,sys,run}_path()
37 * allow configuration of console width/height in vconsole.conf
39 * PrivateTmp should apply to both /tmp and /var/tmp
41 * fstab should take priority over units in /usr
43 * cleanup syslog 'priority' vs. 'level' wording
45 * journal: if mmap() fails for mapping window try to unmap a a few older maps
47 * dbus upstream still refers to dbus.target and shouldn't
49 * 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
51 * add man page documenting all kernel cmdline options, including stuff like fsck.mode=
53 * show getty in container mode, not sulogin
55 * support container_ttys=
57 * journald: make configurable "store-on-var", "store-on-run", "dont-store", "auto"
58 (store-persistent, store-volatile?)
60 * introduce mix of BindTo and Requisite
62 * journalctl: show multiline log messages sanely, expand tabs, and show all valid utf8 messages
64 * introduce NeedsMounts= or so to create .mount dependencies automatically for a specific path
66 * add DeleteSocketsOnStop=yes|no option to socket units
68 * journal: store euid in journal if it differs from uid
70 * support chrony in addition to ntpd in timedated
72 * document crypttab(5)
74 * There's currently no way to cancel fsck (used to be possible via C-c or c on the console)
76 * keep an eye on https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=670100
78 * journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the componets would fit
80 * add command to systemctl to plot dependency graph as tree (see rhbz 795365)
82 * make logind reserve tty10 or so for text logins, so that gdm never picks it up
84 * add option to sockets to avoid activation. Instead just drop packets/connections, see http://cyberelk.net/tim/2012/02/15/portreserve-systemd-solution/
86 * default unix qlen is too small (10). bump sysctl? add sockopt?
88 * support units generated by a generator and placed in /run/systemd/system/; the directory is
89 currently ignored because it is empty before the generatores are executed
91 * Possibly, detect whether SysV init scripts can do reloading by looking for "echo Usage:" lines
93 * figure out whether we should leave dbus around during shutdown
95 * add interface to allow immediate rotation of the journal, and even flushing.
97 * dbus: in fedora, make the machine a symlink to /etc/machine-id
99 * journald: reuse XZ context

113 * journal: deal nicely with byte-by-byte copied files, especially regards header
115 * journal: local deserializer of export mode, http server
117 * journal: message catalog
119 * journal: forward-secure signatures
121 * document the exit codes when services fail before they are exec()ed
123 * rework namespace support, don't use pivot_root, and mount things after creating the namespace, not before
125 * systemctl journal command
127 * journalctl: --cursor support, priority filtering
129 * systemctl status: show coredumps
131 * systemctl status: show whether journal was rotated since service started
133 * save coredump in Windows/Mozilla minidump format
135 * support crash reporting operation modes (https://live.gnome.org/GnomeOS/Design/Whiteboards/ProblemReporting)
137 * journal: allow per-entry control on /var vs. /run (think incognito browser mode)
139 * clean up session cgroups that remain after logout (think sshd), but eventually run empty
141 * support "systemctl stop foobar@.service" to stop all units matching a certain template
145 * logind: allow showing logout dialog from system
147 * document that %% can be used to write % in a string that is specifier extended
149 * when an instanced service exits, remove its parent cgroup too if possible.
151 * as Tom Gundersen pointed out there's a always a dep loop if people use crypto file systems with random keys
153 * automatically escape unit names passed on the service (i.e. think "systemctl start serial-getty.service@serial/by-path/jshdfjsdfhkjh" being automatically escaped as necessary.
155 * if we can not get user quota for tmpfs, mount a separate tmpfs instance
156 for every user in /run/user/$USER with a configured maximum size
158 * default to actual 32bit PIDs, via /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max
160 * add an option to make mounts private/shareable and so on, enable this for root by default
162 * be able to specify a forced restart of service A where service B depends on, in case B
163 needs to be auto-respawned?
165 * Something is wrong with symlink handling of "autovt@.service" in "systemctl list-unit-files"
167 * when a bus name of a service disappears from the bus make sure to queue further activation requests
169 * something like ConditionExec= or ExecStartPre= without failure state
171 * tmpfiles: apply "x" on "D" too (see patch from William Douglas)
173 * don't set $HOME in services unless requested
175 * hide PAM/TCPWrap options in fragment parser when compile time disabled
177 * when we automatically restart a service, ensure we restart its rdeps, too.
179 * allow Type=simple with PIDFile=
180 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=723942
182 * move PAM code into its own binary
184 * warn if the user stops a service but not its associated socket
186 * logind: spawn user@..service on login
188 * logind: non-local X11 server handling
190 * implement Register= switch in .socket units to enable registration
191 in Avahi, RPC and other socket registration services.
193 * make sure systemd-ask-password-wall does not shutdown systemd-ask-password-console too early
195 * readahead: use BTRFS_IOC_DEFRAG_RANGE instead of BTRFS_IOC_DEFRAG ioctl, with START_IO
197 * readahead: check whether a btrfs volume includes ssd by checking mount flag "ssd"
199 * support sd_notify() style notification when reload begins (RELOADING=1), reload is finished (READY=1), and add ReloadSignal= then to use in combination
201 * support sd_notify() style notification when shutting down, to make auto-exit bus services work (STOPPING=1)
203 * verify that the AF_UNIX sockets of a service in the fs still exist
204 when we start a service in order to avoid confusion when a user
205 assumes starting a service is enough to make it accessible
207 * Make it possible to set the keymap independently from the font on
208 the kernel cmdline. Right now setting one resets also the other.
210 * move nss-myhostname into systemd
212 * and a dbus call to generate target from current state
214 * drop /.readahead on bigger upgrades with yum
216 * add inode nr check to readahead to suppress preloading changed files
218 * add support for /bin/mount -s
220 * GC unreferenced jobs (such as .device jobs)
222 * when failing to start a service due to ratelimiting, try again later, if restart=always is set
224 * write blog stories about:
225 - enabling dbus services
227 - how to make changes to sysctl and sysfs attributes
229 - how to pass throw-away units to systemd, or dynamically change properties of existing units
230 - how to integrate cgconfig and suchlike with systemd
231 - resource control in systemd
233 * allow port=0 in .socket units
235 * move readahead files into /var, look for them with .path units
237 * teach dbus to activate all services it finds in /etc/systemd/services/org-*.service
239 * support systemd.mask= on the kernel command line.
241 * when key file cannot be found, read it from kbd in cryptsetup
243 * reuse mkdtemp namespace dirs in /tmp?
245 * recreate systemd's D-Bus private socket file on SIGUSR2
247 * Support --test based on current system state
249 * investigate whether the gnome pty helper should be moved into systemd, to provide cgroup support.
251 * maybe introduce ExecRestartPre=
253 * configurable jitter for timer events
255 * timer events with system resume
257 * timer events on calendar time
259 * dot output for --test showing the 'initial transaction'
261 * calendar time support in timer, iCalendar semantics for the timer stuff (RFC2445)

264 * implicitly import "defaults" settings file into all types
265 * exec settings override
266 * writable cgroups dbus properties for live changes
268 * read config fragments for all units from /lib/systemd/system/foobar.service.d/ to override/extend specific settings
270 * port over to LISTEN_FDS/LISTEN_PID:
271 - rpcbind (/var/run/rpcbind.sock!) HAVEPATCH
275 - libvirtd (/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock-ro)
276 - bluetoothd (/var/run/sdp! @/org/bluez/audio!)
279 * auditd service files
281 * fingerprint.target, wireless.target, gps.target, netdevice.target
283 * io priority during initialization
285 * systemctl list-jobs - show dependencies
287 * add systemctl switch to dump transaction without executing it
289 * drop cap bounding set in readahead and other services
295 - natively watch for dbus-*.service symlinks (PENDING)
296 - allow specification of socket mode/umask when allocating DBusServer
297 - allow disabling of fd passing when connecting a AF_UNIX connection
298 - allow disabling of UID passing for AUTH EXTERNAL
299 - always pass cred data along each message
302 PR_SET_CHILD_REAPER patch: https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/7/28/426
303 (patch in linux-next, on the way to the next kernel)
305 * fix alsa mixer restore to not print error when no config is stored
307 * gnome-shell python script/glxinfo/is-accelerated must die
309 * make cryptsetup lower --iter-time
311 * patch kernel for xattr support in /dev, /proc/, /sys and /sys/fs/cgroup?
313 * NTP: the kernel's 11-minutes-mode syncs the system time to the RTC, but only
314 in an ~30 minutes window. It does not adjust larger differences. Find a way
315 to tell the kernel, to always do a full time sync when the RTC is in UTC and
316 we are in 11-minutes-mode. When we trust the system time to NTP we also want
319 * patch kernel for cpu feature modalias for autoloading aes/kvm/...
320 (patches in linux-next, on the way to the next kernel)
322 * kernel: add device_type = "fb", "fbcon" to class "graphics"
326 * look for close() vs. close_nointr() vs. close_nointr_nofail()
328 * check for strerror(r) instead of strerror(-r)
330 * Use PR_SET_PROCTITLE_AREA if it becomes available in the kernel
332 * %m in printf() instead of strerror();
336 * set_put(), hashmap_put() return values check. i.e. == 0 doesn't free()!
