3 * swap units that are activated by one name but shown in the kernel under another are semi-broken
5 * make anaconda write timeout=0 for encrypted devices
7 * service: pid file reading after reload doesn't work, since we don't reset the pid variable
9 * make sure timeouts are applied to Type=oneshot services.
11 * Dangling symlinks of .automount unit files in .wants/ directories, set up
12 automount points even when the original .automount file did not exist
13 anymore. Only the .mount unit was still around.
15 * make polkit checks async
17 * properly handle .mount unit state tracking when two mount points are stacked one on top of another on the exact same mount point.
21 * journal: extend sd-journal.h logging calls to implicitly log function names/line numbers/...
23 * document crypttab(5)
25 * There's currently no way to cancel fsck (used to be possible via C-c or c on the console)
27 * hook up /dev/watchdog with main event loop for embedded, server uses
29 * man: for some reason the HTML versions of the man pages are currently not being packaged
31 * prefer /etc over /run?
33 * when dumping cgroup contents, include main/control PID of a service, explicitly
35 * keep an eye on https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=670100
37 * D-Bus: always pass cred data along each message
39 * journal: work on https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/systemd-journal
41 * journal: allow turning off logging entirely
43 * journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the componets would fit
45 * add command to systemctl to plot dependency graph as tree (see rhbz 795365)
47 * make logind reserve tty10 or so for text logins, so that gdm never picks it up
49 * add option to sockets to avoid activation. Instead just drop packets/connections, see http://cyberelk.net/tim/2012/02/15/portreserve-systemd-solution/
51 * isolate for getty is still broken, due to logind
53 * default unix qlen is too small (10). bump sysctl? add sockopt?
55 * support units generated by a generator and placed in /run/systemd/system/; the directory is
56 currently ignored because it is empty before the generatores are executed
58 * Possibly, detect whether SysV init scripts can do reloading by looking for "echo Usage:" lines
60 * figure out whether we should leave dbus around during shutdown
62 * support closing all fds via RLIMIT_NOFILE instead of /proc, in order to make chroot stuff work.
64 * add interface to allow immediate rotation of the journal, and even flushing.
66 * don't log coredumps of PID 1 into the journal
68 * if a journal file is corrupt, rotate it and create a new one
70 * dbus: in fedora, make the machine a symlink to /etc/machine-id
72 * journald: reuse XZ context
74 * logind: add equivalent to sd_pid_get_owner_uid() to the D-Bus API
76 * write RPM spec macros for presets
78 * write man pages for systemd-cat
80 * journal: write man pages for API
82 * journal: OR matches are borked
84 * journal: extend hash tables as we go
86 * journal: API for looking for retrieving "all values of this field"
88 * journal: deal nicely with byte-by-byte copied files, especially regards header
90 * journal: local deserializer of export mode, http server
92 * journal: message catalog
94 * journal: forward-secure signatures
96 * document the exit codes when services fail before they are exec()ed
98 * rework namespace support, don't use pivot_root, and mount things after creating the namespace, not before
100 * systemctl journal command
102 * journalctl: --cursor support, priority filtering
104 * systemctl status: show coredumps
106 * systemctl status: show whether journal was rotated since service started
108 * save coredump in Windows/Mozilla minidump format
110 * support crash reporting operation modes (https://live.gnome.org/GnomeOS/Design/Whiteboards/ProblemReporting)
112 * journal: allow per-entry control on /var vs. /run (think incognito browser mode)
114 * clean up session cgroups that remain after logout (think sshd), but eventually run empty
116 * support "systemctl stop foobar@.service" to stop all units matching a certain template
120 * logind: allow showing logout dialog from system
122 * document that %% can be used to write % in a string that is specifier extended
124 * when an instanced service exits, remove its parent cgroup too if possible.
126 * Make libselinux, libattr, libcap, libdl dependencies only of the tools which actually need them.
128 * as Tom Gundersen pointed out there's a always a dep loop if people use crypto file systems with random keys
130 * unset container= in PID1?
132 * 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.
134 * if we can not get user quota for tmpfs, mount a separate tmpfs instance
135 for every user in /run/user/$USER with a configured maximum size
137 * default to actual 32bit PIDs, via /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max
139 * add an option to make mounts private/shareable and so on, enable this for root by default
141 * be able to specify a forced restart of service A where service B depends on, in case B
142 needs to be auto-respawned?
144 * Something is wrong with symlink handling of "autovt@.service" in "systemctl list-unit-files"
146 * when a bus name of a service disappears from the bus make sure to queue further activation requests
148 * something like ConditionExec= or ExecStartPre= without failure state
150 * tmpfiles: apply "x" on "D" too (see patch from William Douglas)
152 * don't set $HOME in services unless requested
154 * hide PAM/TCPWrap options in fragment parser when compile time disabled
156 * when we automatically restart a service, ensure we retsart its rdeps, too.
158 * allow Type=simple with PIDFile=
159 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=723942
161 * move PAM code into its own binary
163 * warn if the user stops a service but not its associated socket
165 * logind: spawn user@..service on login
167 * logind: non-local X11 server handling
169 * implement Register= switch in .socket units to enable registration
170 in Avahi, RPC and other socket registration services.
172 * make sure systemd-ask-password-wall does not shutdown systemd-ask-password-console too early
174 * readahead: use BTRFS_IOC_DEFRAG_RANGE instead of BTRFS_IOC_DEFRAG ioctl, with START_IO
176 * readahead: check whether a btrfs volume includes ssd by checking mount flag "ssd"
178 * support sd_notify() style notification when reload begins (RELOADING=1), reload is finished (READY=1), and add ReloadSignal= then to use in combination
180 * support sd_notify() style notification when shutting down, to make auto-exit bus services work (STOPPING=1)
182 * verify that the AF_UNIX sockets of a service in the fs still exist
183 when we start a service in order to avoid confusion when a user
184 assumes starting a service is enough to make it accessible
186 * Make it possible to set the keymap independently from the font on
187 the kernel cmdline. Right now setting one resets also the other.
189 * move nss-myhostname into systemd
191 * and a dbus call to generate target from current state
193 * drop /.readahead on bigger upgrades with yum
195 * add inode nr check to readahead to suppress preloading changed files
197 * add support for /bin/mount -s
199 * GC unreferenced jobs (such as .device jobs)
201 * when failing to start a service due to ratelimiting, try again later, if restart=always is set
203 * write blog stories about:
204 - enabling dbus services
206 - how to make changes to sysctl and sysfs attributes
208 - how to pass throw-away units to systemd, or dynamically change properties of existing units
209 - how to integrate cgconfig and suchlike with systemd
210 - resource control in systemd
212 * allow port=0 in .socket units
214 * move readahead files into /var, look for them with .path units
216 * teach dbus to activate all services it finds in /etc/systemd/services/org-*.service
218 * support systemd.mask= on the kernel command line.
220 * when key file cannot be found, read it from kbd in cryptsetup
222 * reuse mkdtemp namespace dirs in /tmp?
224 * recreate systemd's D-Bus private socket file on SIGUSR2
226 * Support --test based on current system state
228 * investigate whether the gnome pty helper should be moved into systemd, to provide cgroup support.
230 * maybe introduce ExecRestartPre=
232 * configurable jitter for timer events
234 * timer events with system resume
236 * timer events on calendar time
238 * dot output for --test showing the 'initial transaction'
240 * calendar time support in timer, iCalendar semantics for the timer stuff (RFC2445)

244 * exec settings override
245 * writable cgroups dbus properties for live changes
247 * read config fragments for all units from /lib/systemd/system/foobar.service.d/ to override/extend specific settings
249 * port over to LISTEN_FDS/LISTEN_PID:
250 - rpcbind (/var/run/rpcbind.sock!) HAVEPATCH
254 - libvirtd (/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock-ro)
255 - bluetoothd (/var/run/sdp! @/org/bluez/audio!)
258 * auditd service files
260 * fingerprint.target, wireless.target, gps.target, netdevice.target
262 * io priority during initialization
264 * systemctl list-jobs - show dependencies
266 * add systemctl switch to dump transaction without executing it
268 * suspend, resume support?
270 * drop cap bounding set in readahead and other services
275 - get process transport into dbus for systemctl -P/-H (PENDING)
277 - natively watch for dbus-*.service symlinks (PENDING)
278 - allow specification of socket mode/umask when allocating DBusServer
279 - allow disabling of fd passing when connecting a AF_UNIX connection
280 - allow disabling of UID passing for AUTH EXTERNAL
283 PR_SET_CHILD_REAPER patch: https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/7/28/426
285 * fix alsa mixer restore to not print error when no config is stored
287 * udisks should not use udisks-part-id, instead use blkid. also not probe /dev/loopxxx
289 * snd-seq should go, https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=676095
291 * gnome-shell python script/glxinfo/is-accelerated must die
293 * make cryptsetup lower --iter-time
295 * patch kernel for xattr support in /dev, /proc/, /sys and /sys/fs/cgroup?
297 * NTP: the kernel's 11-minutes-mode syncs the system time to the RTC, but only
298 in an ~30 minutes window. It does not adjust larger differences. Find a way
299 to tell the kernel, to always do a full time sync when the RTC is in UTC and
300 we are in 11-minutes-mode. When we trust the system time to NTP we also want
303 * patch kernel for cpu feature modalias for autoloading aes/kvm/...
304 (patches in linux-next, on the way to the next kernel)
306 * kernel: add /proc/sys file exposing CAP_LAST_CAP? sysconf?
307 merged: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git;a=commit;h=73efc0394e148d0e15583e13712637831f926720
309 * kernel: add device_type = "fb", "fbcon" to class "graphics"
313 * look for close() vs. close_nointr() vs. close_nointr_nofail()
315 * check for strerror(r) instead of strerror(-r)
317 * Use PR_SET_PROCTITLE_AREA if it becomes available in the kernel
319 * %m in printf() instead of strerror();
323 * set_put(), hashmap_put() return values check. i.e. == 0 doesn't free()!
