3 * swap units that are activated by one name but shown in the kernel under another are semi-broken
5 * NM should pull in network.target (PENDING)
6 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=692008
8 * make anaconda write timeout=0 for encrypted devices
10 * service: pid file reading after reload doesn't work, since we don't reset the pid variable
12 * make sure timeouts are applied to Type=oneshot services.
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.
18 * make polkit checks async
20 * properly handle .mount unit state tracking when two mount points are stacked one on top of another on the exact same mount point.
24 * support units generated by a generator and placed in /run/systemd/system/; the directory is
25 currently ignored because it is empty before the generatores are executed
27 * let 'systemctl reboot' called as non-root talk to logind instead of systemd, to get polkit
28 system policy in the loop of privilege checking, so normal users can possibly use /sbin/reboot
30 * Possibly, detect whether SysV init scripts can do reloading by looking for "echo Usage:" lines
32 * figure out whether we should leave dbus around during shutdown
34 * support closing all fds via RLIMIT_NOFILE instead of /proc, in order to make chroot stuff work.
36 * add interface to allow immediate rotation of the journal, and even flushing.
38 * don't log coredumps of PID 1 into the journal
40 * if a journal file is corrupt, rotate it and create a new one
42 * dbus: in fedora, make the machine a symlink to /etc/machine-id
44 * journald: reuse XZ context
46 * logind: add equivalent to sd_pid_get_owner_uid() to the D-Bus API
48 * write RPM spec macros for presets
50 * write man pages for systemd-cat
52 * journal: write man pages for API
54 * journal: OR matches are borked
56 * journal: extend hash tables as we go
58 * journal: API for looking for retrieving "all values of this field"
60 * journal: deal nicely with byte-by-byte copied files, especially regards header
62 * journal: local deserializer of export mode, http server
64 * journal: message catalog
66 * journal: forward-secure signatures
68 * document the exit codes when services fail before they are exec()ed
70 * rework namespace support, don't use pivot_root, and mount things after creating the namespace, not before
72 * systemctl journal command
74 * journalctl: --cursor support, priority filtering
76 * systemctl status: show coredumps
78 * systemctl status: show whether journal was rotated since service started
80 * save coredump in Windows/Mozilla minidump format
82 * support crash reporting operation modes (https://live.gnome.org/GnomeOS/Design/Whiteboards/ProblemReporting)
84 * allow per-entry control on /var vs. /run (think incognito browser mode)
86 * clean up session cgroups that remain after logout (think sshd), but eventually run empty
88 * support "systemctl stop foobar@.service" to stop all units matching a certain template
92 * logind: allow showing logout dialog from system
94 * document that %% can be used to write % in a string that is specifier extended
96 * check utf8 everywhere
98 * when an instanced service exits, remove its parent cgroup too if possible.
100 * Make libselinux, libattr, libcap, libdl dependencies only of the tools which actually need them.
102 * as Tom Gundersen pointed out there's a always a dep loop if people use crypto file systems with random keys
104 * unset container= in PID1?
106 * 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.
108 * if we can not get user quota for tmpfs, mount a separate tmpfs instance
109 for every user in /run/user/$USER with a configured maximum size
111 * default to actual 32bit PIDs, via /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max
113 * add an option to make mounts private/shareable and so on, enable this for root by default
115 * internal restart counter for units (focus on auto-respawn)
117 * finer-grained auto-respawn settings (rate-limit)
119 * be able to specify a forced restart of service A where service B depends on, in case B
120 needs to be auto-respawned?
122 * Something is wrong with symlink handling of "autovt@.service" in "systemctl list-unit-files"
124 * when a bus name of a service disappears from the bus make sure to queue further activation requests
126 * something like ConditionExec= or ExecStartPre= without failure state
128 * service restart retry configuration
130 * tmpfiles: apply "x" on "D" too (see patch from William Douglas)
132 * don't set $HOME in services unless requested
134 * hide PAM/TCPWrap options in fragment parser when compile time disabled
136 * when we automatically restart a service, ensure we retsart its rdeps, too.
138 * allow Type=simple with PIDFile=
139 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=723942
141 * move PAM code into its own binary
143 * warn if the user stops a service but not its associated socket
145 * logind: spawn user@..service on login
147 * logind: non-local X11 server handling
149 * implement Register= switch in .socket units to enable registration
150 in Avahi, RPC and other socket registration services.
152 * make sure systemd-ask-password-wall does not shutdown systemd-ask-password-console too early
154 * readahead: use BTRFS_IOC_DEFRAG_RANGE instead of BTRFS_IOC_DEFRAG ioctl, with START_IO
156 * readahead: check whether a btrfs volume includes ssd by checking mount flag "ssd"
158 * support sd_notify() style notification when reload begins (RELOADING=1), reload is finished (READY=1), and add ReloadSignal= then to use in combination
160 * support sd_notify() style notification when shutting down, to make auto-exit bus services work (STOPPING=1)
162 * verify that the AF_UNIX sockets of a service in the fs still exist
163 when we start a service in order to avoid confusion when a user
164 assumes starting a service is enough to make it accessible
166 * Make it possible to set the keymap independently from the font on
167 the kernel cmdline. Right now setting one resets also the other.
169 * move nss-myhostname into systemd
171 * and a dbus call to generate target from current state
173 * drop /.readahead on bigger upgrades with yum
175 * add inode nr check to readahead to suppress preloading changed files
177 * add support for /bin/mount -s
179 * GC unreferenced jobs (such as .device jobs)
181 * when failing to start a service due to ratelimiting, try again later, if restart=always is set
183 * write blog stories about:
184 - enabling dbus services
186 - how to make changes to sysctl and sysfs attributes
188 - how to pass throw-away units to systemd, or dynamically change properties of existing units
189 - how to integrate cgconfig and suchlike with systemd
190 - resource control in systemd
192 * allow port=0 in .socket units
194 * move readahead files into /var, look for them with .path units
196 * teach dbus to activate all services it finds in /etc/systemd/services/org-*.service
198 * support systemd.mask= on the kernel command line.
200 * when key file cannot be found, read it from kbd in cryptsetup
202 * reuse mkdtemp namespace dirs in /tmp?
204 * recreate systemd's D-Bus private socket file on SIGUSR2
206 * Support --test based on current system state
208 * investigate whether the gnome pty helper should be moved into systemd, to provide cgroup support.
210 * maybe introduce ExecRestartPre=
212 * configurable jitter for timer events
214 * timer events with system resume
216 * timer events on calendar time
218 * dot output for --test showing the 'initial transaction'
220 * calendar time support in timer, iCalendar semantics for the timer stuff (RFC2445)

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