KS
2* check systemd-tmpfiles for selinux context hookup for mknod(), symlink() and similar
3
c904f64d
LP
4* swap units that are activated by one name but shown in the kernel under another are semi-broken
5
f957632b
KS
6* Dangling symlinks of .automount unit files in .wants/ directories, set up
7 automount points even when the original .automount file did not exist
8 anymore. Only the .mount unit was still around.
9
9a366075
LP
10* make polkit checks async
11
a40593a0 12* properly handle .mount unit state tracking when two mount points are stacked one on top of another on the exact same mount point.

2d19f95c 14Fedora 19:
3679d112 15
a4cc3e5c
LP
16* external: maybe it is time to patch procps so that "ps" links to
17 libsystemd-logind to print a pretty service name, seat name, session
18 name in its output. Currently it only shows cgroup membership, but
0028da22 19 that's sometimes kinda hard to parse for a human.
a4cc3e5c 20
7e2c2bcf 21* cgroup attrs:
f0c15f28 22 - update dbus interface docs in wiki
7b4da18c 23
81d112a8 24* localed:
81d112a8
LP
25 - localectl: support new converted x11→console keymaps
26
55d32caf
LP
27* when installing fedora with yum --installroot /var/run is a directory, not a symlink
28
eb124a97 29Features:
154ff088 30
374ec6ab 31* fix killing spree logic in systemd-user-sessions
fb6becb4
LP
32
33* logind: implement session kill exceptions
34
35* fix machine regstration to forward property array
36
37* fix loginctl cgroup enumeration
38
39* move "systemctl dump" to systemd-analyze
40
41* introduce "mainpid" for scopes
42
43* add a fixed dbus path for "my own unit", "my own session", ... to PID1, logind, ...
44
45* add implicit slice for instantiated services
46
6c12b52e
LP
47* service_coldplug() appears to reinstall the wrong stop timeout watch?
48
11ddb6f4
LP
49* transient units: allow creating auxiliary units with the same call
50
241da328
LP
51* make BlockIODeviceWeight=, BlockIODeviceBandwidth= runtime settable
52
7041efe9
LP
53* split up BlockIOWeight= and BlockIODeviceWeight=
54
d28e9236
LP
55* introduce high-level settings for RT budget, swapiness
56
7041efe9
LP
57* how to reset dynamically changed attributes sanely?
58
b42defe3
LP
59* when reloading configuration, apply new cgroup configuration
60
c2756a68
LP
61* implement system-wide DefaultCPUAccounting=1 switch (and similar for blockio, memory?)
62
63* implement per-slice CPUFairScheduling=1 switch
8e2af478
LP
64
65* handle jointly mounted controllers correctly
66
4ad49000 67* journald: make sure ratelimit is actually really per-service with the new cgroup changes
3d3ee759 68
9444b1f2
LP
69* move systemctl dump to systemd-analyze
70
71* libsystemd-logind: sd_session_is_active() and friends: verify
72 validity of session name before appending it to a path
73
74* logind: when a PAM client calls ReleaseSession() start a timeout and
75 kill the session entirely after that is reached.
76
77* gparted needs to disable auto-activation of mount units somehow, or
78 maybe we should stop doing auto-activiation of this after boot
79 entirely. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=701676
80
a016b922
LP
81* when a service changes state make reflect that in the
82 RUNNING/LISTENING states of its socket
83
a016b922
LP
84* when recursively showing the cgroup hierarchy, optionally also show
85 the hierarchies of child processes
86
1f263d4d
LP
87* document logic of auto/noauto and fail/nofail in fstab in systemd.mount or systemd-fstab-generator man page
88
9444b1f2 89* we should properly escape ssh hostnames we add into dbus server strings
1f263d4d
LP
90
91* something pulls in pcre as so dep into our daemons such as hostnamed.
92
4e09014d
LP
93* cgroup-agent: downgrade error messages
94
95* document systemd-journal-flush.service properly
96
97* chane systemd-journal-flush into a service that stays around during
98 boot, and causes the journal to be moved back to /run on shutdown,
99 so that we don't keep /var busy. This needs to happen synchronously,
100 hence doing this via signals is not going to work.
101
102* allow implementation of InaccessibleDirectories=/ plus
103 ReadOnlyDirectories=... for whitelisting files for a service.
104
d5a2b9a6
LP
105* libsystemd-journal:
106 - return ECHILD as soon as somebody tries to reuse a journal object across a fork()
107
eb01ba5d
LP
108* libsystemd-bus:
109 - default policy (allow uid == 0 and our own uid)
110 - enforce alignment of pointers passed in
eb01ba5d 111 - when kdbus doesn't take our message without memfds, try again with memfds
eb01ba5d
LP
112 - implement translator service
113 - port systemd to new library
114 - implement busname unit type in systemd
115 - move to gvariant
eb01ba5d 116 - merge busctl into systemctl or so?
e4ee6e5c 117 - synthesize sd_bus_message objects from kernel messages
c7819669 118 - properly implement name registry ioctls for kdbus
86312ab8
LP
119 - get rid of object hash table, use decision tree everyhwere instead?
120 - implement monitor logic
121 - object vtable logic
122 - longer term:
123 * priority queues
86312ab8 124 * priority inheritance
eb01ba5d 125
154ff088
LP
126* in the final killing spree, detect processes from the root directory, and
127 complain loudly if they have argv[0][0] == '@' set.
128 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=961044
129
7e853a9b
LP
130* add an option to nspawn that uses seccomp to make socket(AF_NETLINK,
131 SOCK_RAW, NETLINK_AUDIT) fail the the appropriate error code that
132 makes the audit userspace to think auditing is not available in the
133 kernel.
134
d686f034
LP
135* Introduce a way how we can kill the main process of a service with KillSignal, but all processes with SIGKILL later on
136 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=952634
137
19aa7c4f
LP
138* maybe add a warning to the unit file parses whern the acces mode of unit files is non-sensical.
139
aa96c6cb 140* investigate endianess issues of UUID vs. GUID
e8a7a315 141
461bd8e4
LP
142* dbus: when a unit failed to load (i.e. is in UNIT_ERROR state), we
143 should be able to safely try another attempt when the bus call LoadUnit() is invoked.
144
ab8e074c
LP
145* if pam_systemd is invoked by su from a process that is outside of a
146 any session we should probably just become a NOP, since that's
147 usually not a real user session but just some system code that just
148 needs setuid().
149
150* add a pam module that passes the hdd passphrase into the PAM stack and then expires it, for usage by gdm auto-login.
151
152* add a pam module that on password changes updates any LUKS slot where the password matches
153
b454b112
LP
154* maybe add a generator that looks for "systemd.run=" on the kernel cmdline for container usercases...
155
156* timedatctl, localectl: possibly make some commands work without the daemon, for chroot situations...
157
4a449ed7 158* logind: add Suspend() bus calls which take timestamps to fix double suspend issues when somebody hits suspend and closes laptop quickly.
75512303 159
4a449ed7
LP
160* we need dynamic units
161
4ff49cb6
LP
162* cgtop: make cgtop useful in a container
163
fff87a35
ZJS
164* test/:
165 - add 'set -e' to scripts in test/
166 - make stuff in test/ work with separate output dir
167 - remove all the duplicated code in test/
b8b4d3dd
LP
168
169* suppress log output on shutdown when "quiet" is used
170
171* systemctl delete x.snapshot leaves no trace in logs (at least at default level).
172
3df82d5a
LP
173* make the coredump collector tool move itself into the user's cgroup
174 so that the coredump is properly written to the user's own journal
175 file.
176
5666ea6f
KS
177* move /usr/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/modules.devname parsing from udevd to
178 kmod static-nodes
179 call kmod as an early service, and drop CAP_MKNOD from udevd.service
a9602630 180
b5c03638
LP
181* seems that when we follow symlinks to units we prefer the symlink
182 destination path over /etc and /usr. We shouldn't do that. Instead
183 /etc should always override /run+/usr and also any symlink
184 destination.
185
752beb0c
LP
186* remove duplicate default deps logic from fstab-generator vs. mount.c
187
eece8c6f
LP
188* when isolating, try to figure out a way how we implicitly can order
189 all units we stop before the isolating unit...
190
d325d9bc
KS
191* teach udev + logind's uaccess to somehow handle the "dead" device nodes from:
192 /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/modules.devname
193 and apply ACLs to them if they have TAG=="uaccess" in udev rules.
3679d112 194
356ce991
LP
195* add ConditionArchitecture= or so
196
197* teach ConditionKernelCommandLine= globs or regexes (in order to match foobar={no,0,off})
198
bfa00bc6
LP
199* we should log capabilities too
200
3b953d68
JT
201* Support SO_REUSEPORT with socket activation:
202 - Let systemd maintain a pool of servers.
203 - Use for seamless upgrades, by running the new server before stopping the
204 old.
205
09f727ee
LP
206* after all byte-wise realloc() is slow, even on glibc, so i guess we
207 need manual exponential loops after all
208
795607b2
LP
209* BootLoaderSpec: drop allowing ext234 for $BOOT. Clarify that the
210 kernel has to be in $BOOT. Clarify that the boot loader should be
211 installed to the ESP. Define a way how an installer can figure out
212 whether a BLS compliant boot loader is installed.
213
795607b2
LP
214* man: remove .include documentation, and instead push people to use .d/*.conf
215
0be8342c
LP
216* think about requeuing jobs when daemon-reload is issued? usecase:
217 the initrd issues a reload after fstab from the host is accessible
218 and we might want to requeue the mounts local-fs acquired through
219 that automatically.
220
487060c2
LP
221* rework specifier logic so that we can distuingish OOM errors from other errors
222
e5ec62c5 223* systemd-inhibit: make taking delay locks useful: support sending SIGINT or SIGTERM on PrepareForSleep()
54c31a79 224
826872b6
LP
225* journal-or-kmsg is currently broken? See reverted commit 4a01181e460686d8b4a543b1dfa7f77c9e3c5ab8.
226
54c31a79 227* remove any syslog support from log.c -- we probably can't do this before split-off udev is gone for good
826872b6 228
8973790e 229* documentation: recommend to connect the timer units of a service to the service via Also= in [Install]
3679d112
LP
230
231* add a tool that lists active timer units plus their next elapstion and the time the units ran last
232
233* man: document the very specific env the shutdown drop-in tools live in
234
235* shutdown logging: store to EFI var, and store to USB stick?
236
237* man: extend runlevel(8) to mention that runlevels suck, and are dead. Maybe add runlevel(7) with a note about that too
238
239* systemctl: maybe add "systemctl add-wants" or so...
240
3679d112
LP
241* man: add more examples to man pages
242
243* man: maybe sort directives in man pages, and take sections from --help and apply them to man too
244
3679d112
LP
245* write UI tool that pops up emergency messages from the journal as notification
246
247* think about window-manager-run-as-user-service problem: exit 0 → activate shutdown.target; exit != 0 → restart service
248
249* msgcatalog determine default language of entries from the catalog
250 file name. i.e. foobar.de_DE.catalog would set the default entry
251 name for the entries to de_DE if they aren't explicitly suffixed
252 individually.
253
cbb77121
LP
254* use "log level" rather than "log priority" everywhere
255
d01a73b6
LP
256* timedate: have global on/off switches for auto-time (NTP), and auto-timezone that connman can subscribe to.
257
990ffbe5 258* Honour "-" prefix for InaccessibleDirectories= and ReadOnlyDirectories= to
f8aeee1f
LP
259 suppress errors of the specified path doesn't exist
260
261* dev-setup.c: when running in a container, create a tiny stub udev
262 database with the systemd tag set for all network interfaces found,
263 so that libudev reports them as present, and systemd's .device units
264 will be activated.
265
356ce991 266* merge unit_kill_common() and unit_kill_context()
490b7e47 267
81d112a8 268* introduce ExecCondition= in services
490b7e47 269
b44be3ec
LP
270* EFI:
271 - fsck hookup for the ESP mount is missing
272 - write man page for efi boot generator
b44be3ec
LP
273 - honor language efi variables for default language selection (if there are any?)
274 - honor timezone efi variables for default timezone selection (if there are any?)
275 - introduce bootctl (backed by systemd-bootd) to control temporary and persistent default boot goal plus efi variables
e4181484 276
c0fe5db5 277* maybe do not install getty@tty1.service symlink in /etc but in /usr?
e9fd44b7 278
b44be3ec 279* re-enable "make check" for gtk-doc (broken for unknown reason)
e9fd44b7 280
b44be3ec
LP
281* fstab: add new mount option x-systemd-after=/foobar/waldo to allow manual dependencies to other mount points
282 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=812826
3040728b 283
b44be3ec 284* print a nicer explanation if people use variable/specifier expansion in ExecStart= for the first word
8ed20651 285
b44be3ec 286* mount: turn dependency information from /proc/self/mountinfo into dependency information between systemd units.
e6c6e7af 287
b44be3ec
LP
288* logind:
289 - logind: optionally, ignore idle-hint logic for autosuspend, block suspend as long as a session is around
290 - When we update the kernel all kind of hibernation should be prohibited until shutdown/reboot
291 - logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
292 - Add pretty name for seats in logind
293 - logind: allow showing logout dialog from system?
294 - logind: spawn user@..service on login
295 - logind: non-local X11 server handling
296 - logind: add equivalent to sd_pid_get_owner_uid() to the D-Bus API
b44be3ec 297 - pam: when leaving a session explicitly exclude the ReleaseSession() caller process from the killing spree
eb124a97 298 - logind: GetSessionByPID() should accept 0 as PID value
e5ec62c5 299 - we should probably handle SIGTERM/SIGINT to not leave dot files around, just in case
e673ad04 300
b44be3ec 301* exec: when deinitializating a tty device fix the perms and group, too, not only when initializing. Set access mode/gid to 0620/tty.
e673ad04 302
b44be3ec 303* DeviceAllow/DeviceDeny: disallow everything by default, but whitelist /dev/zero, /dev/null and friends
e673ad04 304
b44be3ec 305* service: watchdog logic: for testing purposes allow ping, but do not require pong
e673ad04 306
b44be3ec 307* journal:
b87b8b2b
KS
308 - do not use magic msync() in src/journal/journal-file.c, just call fsync()
309 <alxchk> poettering: looks like msync just calls vfs_fsync
310 http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/mm/msync.c#n18
c06bf414 311 - import and delete pstore filesystem content at startup
b44be3ec
LP
312 - journald: also get thread ID from client, plus thread name
313 - journal: when waiting for journal additions in the client always sleep at least 1s or so, in order to minimize wakeups
314 - add API to close/reopen/get fd for journal client fd in libsystemd-journal.
315 - fallback to /dev/log based logging in libsystemd-journal, if we can't log natively?
316 - declare the local journal protocol stable in the wiki interface chart
317 - journal: reuse XZ context
318 - sd-journal: speed up sd_journal_get_data() with transparent hash table in bg
319 - journald: when dropping msgs due to ratelimit make sure to write
320 "dropped %u messages" not only when we are about to print the next
321 message that works, but alraedy after a short tiemout
322 - check if we can make journalctl by default use --follow mode inside of less if called without args?
323 - maybe add API to send pairs of iovecs via sd_journal_send
324 - journal: when writing journal auto-rotate if time jumps backwards
f47ec8eb 325 - journal: add a setgid "systemd-journal" utility to invoke from libsystemd-journal, which passes fds via STDOUT and does PK access
b44be3ec
LP
326 - journactl: support negative filtering, i.e. FOOBAR!="waldo",
327 and !FOOBAR for events without FOOBAR.
328 - journal: when rotating, copy over old acls/access mode
b44be3ec 329 - journal: send out marker messages every now and then, and immediately sync with fdatasync() afterwards, in order to have hourly guaranteed syncs.
b44be3ec
LP
330 - 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.
331 - journal: find a way to allow dropping history early, based on priority, other rules
332 - journal: When used on NFS, check payload hashes
b44be3ec
LP
333 - Introduce journalctl -b <nr> to show journal messages of a previous boot
334 - journald: check whether it is OK if the client can still modify delivered journal entries
f47ec8eb 335 - journal live copy, based on libneon (client) and libmicrohttpd (server)
b44be3ec
LP
336 - journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
337 - refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
338 - journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
339 - journal: deal nicely with byte-by-byte copied files, especially regards header
340 - journalctl: show multiline log messages sanely, expand tabs, and show all valid utf8 messages
341 - journal: store euid in journal if it differs from uid
342 - journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the components would fit
601d9d6f
JT
343 - Replace utmp, wtmp, btmp, and lastlog completely with journal
344 - Port upower to use the journal for historical power information used in future calculations
b44be3ec
LP
345
346* document:
347 - document unit_name_mangle()
348 - document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fileds in
349 [Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
350 - man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
351 - Document word splitting syntax for ExecStart= and friends
352 - document that units from /etc override those from /usr and /run
353 - document the exit codes when services fail before they are exec()ed
b44be3ec 354 - document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
eb124a97 355 - document in wiki how to map ical recurrence events to systemd timer unit calendar specifications
b44be3ec
LP
356
357* systemctl:
358 - systemctl list-jobs - show dependencies
359 - add systemctl switch to dump transaction without executing it
360 - Add a verbose mode to "systemctl start" and friends that explains what is being done or not done
361 - "systemctl disable" on a static unit prints no message and does
362 nothing. "systemctl enable" does nothing, and gives a bad message
363 about it. Should fix both to print nice actionable messages.
364 - print nice message from systemctl --failed if there are no entries shown, and hook that into ExecStartPre of rescue.service/emergency.service
365 - add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
366 - systemctl enable: improve the success messages (i.e. more human readable, less shell-like)
367 - systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into doesn't exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
368 - systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
369 - support "systemctl stop foobar@.service" to stop all units matching a certain template
370 - Something is wrong with symlink handling of "autovt@.service" in "systemctl list-unit-files"
8b04b925 371
e673ad04
LP
372* introduce ntp.service (or suchlike) as symlink that is used to arbitrate between various NTP implementations
373
b44be3ec
LP
374* deal with sendmail/postfix exclusivity
375
376* timer units:
377 - configurable jitter for timer events
378 - timer events with system resume
379 - timer units should get the ability to trigger when:
380 o CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (TFD_TIMER_CANCEL_ON_SET)
381 o DST changes
eb124a97 382 - Support 2012-02~4 as syntax for specifying the fourth to last day of the month.
d2e83c23
KS
383
384* update the kernel's TZ (sys_tz) when DST changes
385
386* sync down the system time to the RTC when:
f6113d42
KS
387 - CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (the user explicitely requested a time set)
388 - DST/timezone changes && ntp is active && RTC-in-localtime (never do it without ntp)
d2e83c23 389 This takes care of syncing ntpdate updates to the RTC, and DST updates for localtime
7a43e910 390 mode, it will never touch the RTC if the no reliable time source is active or the
d2e83c23 391 user did not request anything like it.
c55b1b59 392
6c1703cc
KS
393* hwdb:
394 - implement conditional properties (dmi matches)
395 - hwdb --filter=ID_DRIVE_*
08f95888 396
59704f3e
LP
397* if booted in "quiet" mode, and an error happens, turn on status
398 output again, so that the emergency mode isn't totally
399 surprising. Also, terminate plymouth.
9ec82de1 400
e707c494
LP
