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.

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
eb124a97 27Features:
3df82d5a 28
ef3b5246
LP
29* see if we can fix https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=63672
30 without dropping the location cache entirely.
31
461bd8e4
LP
32* dbus: when a unit failed to load (i.e. is in UNIT_ERROR state), we
33 should be able to safely try another attempt when the bus call LoadUnit() is invoked.
34
248f0775
LP
35* for instanced unit drop-ins we should look in foo@bar.service.d/ as well as foo@.service.d/
36
ab8e074c
LP
37* if pam_systemd is invoked by su from a process that is outside of a
38 any session we should probably just become a NOP, since that's
39 usually not a real user session but just some system code that just
40 needs setuid().
41
42* add a pam module that passes the hdd passphrase into the PAM stack and then expires it, for usage by gdm auto-login.
43
44* add a pam module that on password changes updates any LUKS slot where the password matches
45
b454b112
LP
46* maybe add a generator that looks for "systemd.run=" on the kernel cmdline for container usercases...
47
48* timedatctl, localectl: possibly make some commands work without the daemon, for chroot situations...
49
b454b112
LP
50* logind: consider making suspend inhibitor locks non-session specific, but keep suspend-key inhibitor locks session specific
51
4a449ed7 52* logind: add Suspend() bus calls which take timestamps to fix double suspend issues when somebody hits suspend and closes laptop quickly.
75512303 53
4a449ed7
LP
54* we need dynamic units
55
56* nss-myhostname should also resolve 'localhost' so that /etc/hosts becomes optional.
d8d3d8a7 57
4a449ed7
LP
58* add s.th. like "systemctl set-log-level debug"
59
60* sd-login: allow enumerating machines and add inotify iface
4ff49cb6 61
4ff49cb6
LP
62* cgroup-util: verify syntax of cgroup controllers
63
64* cgtop: make cgtop useful in a container
65
66* make sure cg_pid_get_path() works properly for co-mounted controllers
67
68* nspawn: ensure syntax of --uuid= argument is correct
69
a53824ea
LP
70* explicitly disallow changing the cgroup path of units in the
71 name=systemd hierarchy, unless it is outside of /system
72
fff87a35
ZJS
73* test/:
74 - add 'set -e' to scripts in test/
75 - make stuff in test/ work with separate output dir
76 - remove all the duplicated code in test/
b8b4d3dd
LP
77
78* suppress log output on shutdown when "quiet" is used
79
80* systemctl delete x.snapshot leaves no trace in logs (at least at default level).
81
3df82d5a
LP
82* make the coredump collector tool move itself into the user's cgroup
83 so that the coredump is properly written to the user's own journal
84 file.
85
5666ea6f
KS
86* move /usr/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/modules.devname parsing from udevd to
87 kmod static-nodes
88 call kmod as an early service, and drop CAP_MKNOD from udevd.service
a9602630 89
b6b7d433
LP
90* systemd-delta needs to be made aware of *.d/*.conf drop-in files for
91 units.
92
b5c03638
LP
93* seems that when we follow symlinks to units we prefer the symlink
94 destination path over /etc and /usr. We shouldn't do that. Instead
95 /etc should always override /run+/usr and also any symlink
96 destination.
97
752beb0c
LP
98* remove duplicate default deps logic from fstab-generator vs. mount.c
99
eece8c6f
LP
100* when isolating, try to figure out a way how we implicitly can order
101 all units we stop before the isolating unit...
102
d325d9bc
KS
103* teach udev + logind's uaccess to somehow handle the "dead" device nodes from:
104 /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/modules.devname
105 and apply ACLs to them if they have TAG=="uaccess" in udev rules.
3679d112 106
64e30145
LP
107* matching against units is currently broken in journalctl. We really
108 need another AND level in the expressions,
109 i.e. sd_journal_add_conjunction().
110
356ce991
LP
111* add ConditionArchitecture= or so
112
113* teach ConditionKernelCommandLine= globs or regexes (in order to match foobar={no,0,off})
114
bfa00bc6
LP
115* we should log capabilities too
116
3b953d68
JT
117* Support SO_REUSEPORT with socket activation:
118 - Let systemd maintain a pool of servers.
119 - Use for seamless upgrades, by running the new server before stopping the
120 old.
121
09f727ee
LP
122* after all byte-wise realloc() is slow, even on glibc, so i guess we
123 need manual exponential loops after all
124
795607b2
LP
125* BootLoaderSpec: drop allowing ext234 for $BOOT. Clarify that the
126 kernel has to be in $BOOT. Clarify that the boot loader should be
127 installed to the ESP. Define a way how an installer can figure out
128 whether a BLS compliant boot loader is installed.
129
795607b2
LP
130* man: remove .include documentation, and instead push people to use .d/*.conf
131
132* disallow .include from included files
133
247c873b
LP
134* safe_atod() is too naive, as it is vulnerable to locale parameters, should be locale independent.
135
0be8342c
LP
136* think about requeuing jobs when daemon-reload is issued? usecase:
137 the initrd issues a reload after fstab from the host is accessible
138 and we might want to requeue the mounts local-fs acquired through
139 that automatically.
140
6bc80e94
LP
141* neither pkexec nor sudo initialize environ[] from the PAM environment?
142
487060c2
LP
143* rework specifier logic so that we can distuingish OOM errors from other errors
144
e5ec62c5 145* systemd-inhibit: make taking delay locks useful: support sending SIGINT or SIGTERM on PrepareForSleep()
54c31a79 146
826872b6
LP
147* journal-or-kmsg is currently broken? See reverted commit 4a01181e460686d8b4a543b1dfa7f77c9e3c5ab8.
148
54c31a79 149* remove any syslog support from log.c -- we probably can't do this before split-off udev is gone for good
826872b6 150
e5ec62c5 151* fedora: connect the timer units of a service to the service via Also= in [Install]
3679d112
LP
152
153* fedora: F20: go timer units all the way, leave cron.daily for cron
154
155* add a tool that lists active timer units plus their next elapstion and the time the units ran last
156
157* man: document the very specific env the shutdown drop-in tools live in
158
159* shutdown logging: store to EFI var, and store to USB stick?
160
161* man: extend runlevel(8) to mention that runlevels suck, and are dead. Maybe add runlevel(7) with a note about that too
162
163* systemctl: maybe add "systemctl add-wants" or so...
164
165* man: add a link to socket activation blog from systemd.socket(5)
166
3679d112
LP
167* man: add more examples to man pages
168
169* man: maybe sort directives in man pages, and take sections from --help and apply them to man too
170
3679d112
LP
171* add "# export SYSTEMD_PAGER=" to bash login
172
173* /usr/bin/service should actually show the new command line
174
175* fedora: suggest auto-restart on failure, but not on sucess and not on coredump. also, ask people to think about changing the start limit logic. Also point people to RestartPreventExitStatus=, SuccessExitStatus=
176
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
dd359de8
LP
188* ensure sd_journal_seek_monotonic actually works properly.
189
d01a73b6
LP
190* timedate: have global on/off switches for auto-time (NTP), and auto-timezone that connman can subscribe to.
191
990ffbe5 192* Honour "-" prefix for InaccessibleDirectories= and ReadOnlyDirectories= to
f8aeee1f
LP
193 suppress errors of the specified path doesn't exist
194
195* dev-setup.c: when running in a container, create a tiny stub udev
196 database with the systemd tag set for all network interfaces found,
197 so that libudev reports them as present, and systemd's .device units
198 will be activated.
199
356ce991 200* merge unit_kill_common() and unit_kill_context()
490b7e47 201
81d112a8 202* introduce ExecCondition= in services
490b7e47 203
b44be3ec
LP
204* EFI:
205 - fsck hookup for the ESP mount is missing
206 - write man page for efi boot generator
b44be3ec
LP
207 - honor language efi variables for default language selection (if there are any?)
208 - honor timezone efi variables for default timezone selection (if there are any?)
209 - introduce bootctl (backed by systemd-bootd) to control temporary and persistent default boot goal plus efi variables
e4181484 210
c0fe5db5 211* maybe do not install getty@tty1.service symlink in /etc but in /usr?
e9fd44b7 212
b44be3ec 213* re-enable "make check" for gtk-doc (broken for unknown reason)
e9fd44b7 214
b44be3ec
LP
215* fstab: add new mount option x-systemd-after=/foobar/waldo to allow manual dependencies to other mount points
216 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=812826
3040728b 217
b44be3ec 218* print a nicer explanation if people use variable/specifier expansion in ExecStart= for the first word
8ed20651 219
b44be3ec 220* mount: turn dependency information from /proc/self/mountinfo into dependency information between systemd units.
e6c6e7af 221
b44be3ec
LP
222* logind:
223 - logind: optionally, ignore idle-hint logic for autosuspend, block suspend as long as a session is around
224 - When we update the kernel all kind of hibernation should be prohibited until shutdown/reboot
225 - logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
226 - Add pretty name for seats in logind
227 - logind: allow showing logout dialog from system?
228 - logind: spawn user@..service on login
229 - logind: non-local X11 server handling
230 - logind: add equivalent to sd_pid_get_owner_uid() to the D-Bus API
b44be3ec 231 - pam: when leaving a session explicitly exclude the ReleaseSession() caller process from the killing spree
eb124a97 232 - logind: GetSessionByPID() should accept 0 as PID value
e5ec62c5 233 - we should probably handle SIGTERM/SIGINT to not leave dot files around, just in case
e673ad04 234
b44be3ec 235* exec: when deinitializating a tty device fix the perms and group, too, not only when initializing. Set access mode/gid to 0620/tty.
e673ad04 236
b44be3ec 237* DeviceAllow/DeviceDeny: disallow everything by default, but whitelist /dev/zero, /dev/null and friends
e673ad04 238
b44be3ec 239* service: watchdog logic: for testing purposes allow ping, but do not require pong
e673ad04 240
b44be3ec 241* journal:
b87b8b2b
KS
242 - do not use magic msync() in src/journal/journal-file.c, just call fsync()
243 <alxchk> poettering: looks like msync just calls vfs_fsync
244 http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/mm/msync.c#n18
c06bf414 245 - import and delete pstore filesystem content at startup
b44be3ec
LP
246 - journald: also get thread ID from client, plus thread name
247 - journal: when waiting for journal additions in the client always sleep at least 1s or so, in order to minimize wakeups
248 - add API to close/reopen/get fd for journal client fd in libsystemd-journal.
249 - fallback to /dev/log based logging in libsystemd-journal, if we can't log natively?
250 - declare the local journal protocol stable in the wiki interface chart
251 - journal: reuse XZ context
252 - sd-journal: speed up sd_journal_get_data() with transparent hash table in bg
253 - journald: when dropping msgs due to ratelimit make sure to write
254 "dropped %u messages" not only when we are about to print the next
255 message that works, but alraedy after a short tiemout
256 - check if we can make journalctl by default use --follow mode inside of less if called without args?
257 - maybe add API to send pairs of iovecs via sd_journal_send
258 - journal: when writing journal auto-rotate if time jumps backwards
259 - gatewayd: should run under its own UID
f47ec8eb 260 - journal: add a setgid "systemd-journal" utility to invoke from libsystemd-journal, which passes fds via STDOUT and does PK access
b44be3ec
LP
261 - journactl: support negative filtering, i.e. FOOBAR!="waldo",
262 and !FOOBAR for events without FOOBAR.
263 - journal: when rotating, copy over old acls/access mode
b44be3ec 264 - journal: send out marker messages every now and then, and immediately sync with fdatasync() afterwards, in order to have hourly guaranteed syncs.
b44be3ec
LP
265 - 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.
266 - journal: find a way to allow dropping history early, based on priority, other rules
267 - journal: When used on NFS, check payload hashes
268 - journal: When used on NFS make sure wake up sd_journal_wait() every 2s, to handle missing inotify
b44be3ec
LP
269 - Introduce journalctl -b <nr> to show journal messages of a previous boot
270 - journald: check whether it is OK if the client can still modify delivered journal entries
f47ec8eb 271 - journal live copy, based on libneon (client) and libmicrohttpd (server)
b44be3ec
LP
272 - journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
273 - refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
274 - journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
275 - journal: deal nicely with byte-by-byte copied files, especially regards header
276 - journalctl: show multiline log messages sanely, expand tabs, and show all valid utf8 messages
277 - journal: store euid in journal if it differs from uid
278 - journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the components would fit
2e4015f3 279 - journalctl: make journalctl smarter, and actually check groups that have access to /var/log/journal before printing message about recomming group membership for journal access
601d9d6f
JT
280 - Replace utmp, wtmp, btmp, and lastlog completely with journal
281 - Port upower to use the journal for historical power information used in future calculations
b44be3ec
LP
282
283* document:
284 - document unit_name_mangle()
285 - document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fileds in
286 [Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
287 - man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
288 - Document word splitting syntax for ExecStart= and friends
289 - document that units from /etc override those from /usr and /run
290 - document the exit codes when services fail before they are exec()ed
b44be3ec 291 - document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
eb124a97 292 - document in wiki how to map ical recurrence events to systemd timer unit calendar specifications
b44be3ec
LP
293
294* systemctl:
295 - systemctl list-jobs - show dependencies
296 - add systemctl switch to dump transaction without executing it
297 - Add a verbose mode to "systemctl start" and friends that explains what is being done or not done
298 - "systemctl disable" on a static unit prints no message and does
299 nothing. "systemctl enable" does nothing, and gives a bad message
300 about it. Should fix both to print nice actionable messages.
301 - print nice message from systemctl --failed if there are no entries shown, and hook that into ExecStartPre of rescue.service/emergency.service
302 - add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
303 - systemctl enable: improve the success messages (i.e. more human readable, less shell-like)
304 - systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into doesn't exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
305 - systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
306 - support "systemctl stop foobar@.service" to stop all units matching a certain template
307 - Something is wrong with symlink handling of "autovt@.service" in "systemctl list-unit-files"
7ba97195
ZJS
308 - add configuration/switches to use
309 freeze (http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git) and
310 standby (https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=57793) as suspend modes
8b04b925 311
e673ad04
LP
312* introduce ntp.service (or suchlike) as symlink that is used to arbitrate between various NTP implementations
313
b44be3ec
LP
314* deal with sendmail/postfix exclusivity
315
316* timer units:
317 - configurable jitter for timer events
318 - timer events with system resume
319 - timer units should get the ability to trigger when:
320 o CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (TFD_TIMER_CANCEL_ON_SET)
321 o DST changes
eb124a97 322 - Support 2012-02~4 as syntax for specifying the fourth to last day of the month.
d2e83c23
KS
323
324* update the kernel's TZ (sys_tz) when DST changes
325
326* sync down the system time to the RTC when:
f6113d42
KS
327 - CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (the user explicitely requested a time set)
328 - DST/timezone changes && ntp is active && RTC-in-localtime (never do it without ntp)
d2e83c23 329 This takes care of syncing ntpdate updates to the RTC, and DST updates for localtime
7a43e910 330 mode, it will never touch the RTC if the no reliable time source is active or the
d2e83c23 331 user did not request anything like it.
c55b1b59 332
6c1703cc
KS
333* hwdb:
334 - implement conditional properties (dmi matches)
335 - hwdb --filter=ID_DRIVE_*
08f95888 336
59704f3e
LP
337* if booted in "quiet" mode, and an error happens, turn on status
338 output again, so that the emergency mode isn't totally
339 surprising. Also, terminate plymouth.
9ec82de1 340
e707c494
LP
341* libunwind support for coredump pattern hook, and includes this in
342 the message for coredumps. After all, libunwind is now capable to
343 unwind coredumps since a few weeks ago. This probably requires that
7f873283
LP
344 we have nice support for multi-line messages on display in
345 logs-show.c. Alternatively: use libelfutil, which seems to be the
346 better supported alternative.
e707c494 347
e707c494
LP
348* figure out relation of --all and --full in the various tools
349
a19554ed
LP
350* add libsystemd-password or so to query passwords during boot using the password agent logic
351
1cb88f2c
LP
352* 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().
353
354* fedup: add --unit to systemctl switch-root somehow
355* fedup: don't delete initrd on switch-root
356* fedup: generator
603cd8fe 357
b44be3ec 358* timedated:
b44be3ec 359 - timedated: refuse time changes when NTP is on
6d0274f1 360
a7a3f28b
LP
361* clean up date formatting and parsing so that all absolute/relative timestamps we format can also be parsed
362
9b27910b
LP
363* introduce generic AUGMENT_PID=, AUGMENT_DEVICE= fields
364
b44be3ec 365* on shutdown: move utmp, wall, audit logic all into PID 1 (or logind?), get rid of systemd-update-utmp-runlevel
08f95888 366
7d8197d1
KS
367* add "provisioning" instructions to setup an empty /etc + /var
368 - used to setup a new container from a shared /usr
369 - superset of tmpfiles model
370 - instructions shipped by packages and stored in /usr/lib/
371 - compose /etc/passwd and /etc/group, copy files
372 - able to create uid + gid used by packages, for file ownership
373
9ee58bdd
KS
374* make repeated alt-ctrl-del presses printing a dump, or even force a reboot without
375 waiting for the timeout
dcfc4b2e 376
71ef24d0
LP
377* high level net_prio setting in execution context
378
71ef24d0
LP
379* hostnamed: before returning information from /etc/machine-info.conf check the modification data and reread. Similar for localed, ...
380
1b89884b
LP
381* currently x-systemd.timeout is lost in the initrd, since crypttab is copied into dracut, but fstab isn't
382
1920e37e
LP
383* WorkingDirectory: support env var replacements like in ExecStart= so that people can use $HOME
384
15abdb9a 385* refuse boot if /etc/machine-id is not useful (or set taint?)
1920e37e 386

440 currently is properly synchronous, Reexec() is weird, because we
441 can't delay the response properly until we are back, so instead of
442 being properly synchronous we just keep open the fd and close it
edca2e23 443 when done. That means clients don't get a successful method reply,
68f16003 444 but much rather a disconnect on success.
