afe3ab58 1Bugfixes:
c343be28 2
b3ae710c
ZJS
3* Should systemctl status \* work on all unit types, not just .service?
4
f957632b
KS
5* Dangling symlinks of .automount unit files in .wants/ directories, set up
6 automount points even when the original .automount file did not exist
7 anymore. Only the .mount unit was still around.
8
afe3ab58 9* ExecStart with unicode characters fails in strv_split_quoted:
d19e85f0
ZJS
10
11 [Service]
12 Environment=ONE='one' "TWO='two two' too" THREE=
13 ExecStart=/bin/python3 -c 'import sys;print(sys.argv)' $ONE $TWO $THREE
14
3f85ef0f 15* MEMORY return code is overloaded for syntax errors in the command line.
afe3ab58
LP
16 str_split_quoted() should return a real return code, so spawn_child can
17 report the failure properly.
afea8d38 18
3e495a66
ZJS
19* When systemctl --host is used, underlying ssh connection can remain open.
20 bus_close does not kill children?
21
f38afcd0 22External:
f85857df 23
f38afcd0 24* Fedora: add an rpmlint check that verifies that all unit files in the RPM are listed in %systemd_post macros.
bafb15ba 25
81429136 26* Fedora: move kernel image to /usr/lib/modules/, kernel-install will take care of populating /boot
e7b4d43e 27
58f55364
LP
28* Fedora: remove /etc/resolv.conf tmpfiles hack
29
83a1ff25
ZJS
30* wiki: update journal format documentation for lz4 additions
31
32* When lz4 gets an API for lz4 command output, make use of it to
33 compress coredumps in a way compatible with /usr/bin/lz4.
34
6ce02c2a
LP
35Features:
36
8c340239
LP
37* nspawn: allow configuring cgroup (and other) properties via
38 --property= when invoking from the command line.
39
5ad65d62
LP
40* add udev rule construct SYSCTL{} to write to sysctls
41
f93b36af
LP
42* assign MESSAGE_ID to log messages about failed services
43
20760dcf
LP
44* coredump: make the handler check /proc/$PID/rlimits for RLIMIT_CORE,
45 and supress coredump if turned off. Then change RLIMIT_CORE to
46 infinity by default for all services. This then allows per-service
47 control of coredumping.
48
49* introduce some call that iterates through cmsg and closes all fds
50 passed in, and use it everywhere...
51
df22b0bb
LP
52* generate better errors when people try to set transient properties
53 that are not supported...
54 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-February/028076.html
55
56* nspawn, if stdout/stderr/stdin are non-ttys, don't set up
57 /dev/console, but instead just pass the fds through directly.
58
b9be39bf
LP
59* When runlevel3.target is used to define dependencies on other units,
60 then we don't pick it up currently, since nothing ever references
61 runlevel3.target, and never figure out it actually is just an alias
62 for multi-user.target. A hackish fix could be to add a .wants link
63 from multi-user.target to runlevel3.target, if it is a symlink to
64 it. Best would be to create this .wants/ symlink from
65 sysv-generator. systemd would then load the referenced unit, figure
66 out it is just an alias and that the dependency would be on itself
67 and suppress it. Thus the alias and its deps would be loaded as
68 desired.
69
70* PID 1: when invoking systemctl preset-all on first boots, operate in
71 an exclusively additive way, i.e. never remove any pre-existing
72 symlinks, only add new ones.
73
c0548228
LP
74* Introduce $LISTEN_NAMES to complement $LISTEN_FDS, containing a
75 colon separated list of identifiers for the fds passed.
76
2aeed676
LP
77* networkd: implement BindCarrier= logic to .network units that binds
78 application of the file to the carrier sense on another interface,
79 in order to implement uplink/downlink logic.
80
e5f774df
LP
81* make networkd subscribe to PrepareForSleep(false) and refresh all
82 DHCP leases then.
83
e0ec8950
LP
84* when the fstab-generator runs in the initrd, it should create a /dev/null mask for systemd-fsck-root.service, to avoid that the the root fs is fsck'ed twice.
85
73cb7754
LP
86* maybe introduce WantsMountsFor=? Usecase:
87 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-January/027729.html
88
84bef24d
LP
89* rework kexec logic to use new kexec_file_load() syscall, so that we
90 don't have to call kexec tool anymore.
91
477e75ef
LP
92* The udev blkid built-in should expose a property that reflects
93 whether media was sensed in USB CF/SD card readers. This should then
94 be used to control SYSTEMD_READY=1/0 so that USB card readers aren't
95 picked up by systemd unless they contain a medium. This would mirror
96 the behaviour we already have for CD drives.
97
98* We should remove really old cruft from cdrom_id
99
7dfb0404
LP
100* nspawn: emulate /dev/kmsg using CUSE and turn off the syslog syscall
101 with seccomp. That should provide us with a useful log buffer that
102 systemd can log to during early boot, and disconnect container logs
103 from the kernel's logs.
104
2bc39683
LP
105* networkd/udev: implement SR_IOV configuration in .link files:
106 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-January/027451.html
107
687f6a0b
LP
108* When RLIMIT_NPROC is set from a unit file it currently always is set
109 for root, not for the user set in User=, which makes it
110 useless. After fixing this, set RLIMIT_NPROC for
111 systemd-journal-xyz, and all other of our services that run under
112 their own user ids, and use User= (but only in a world where userns
113 is ubiquitous since otherwise we cannot invoke those daemons on the
2bc39683
LP
114 host AND in a container anymore). Also, if LimitNPROC= is used
115 without User= we should warn and refuse operation.
687f6a0b 116
31a11e8f
LP
117* logind: maybe allow configuration of the StopTimeout for session scopes
118
dbdee28b
LP
119* Set NoNewPriviliges= on all of our own services, where that makes sense
120
17fe5614
LP
121* Rework systemctl's GetAll property parsing to use the generic bus_map_all_properties() API
122
123* rework journald sigbus stuff to use mutex
124
7687f85e
LP
125* import-dkr: support tarsum checksum verification, if it becomes reality one day...
126
127* import-dkr: convert json bits to nspawn configuration
128
02c74033
LP
129* import: support import from local files, and export to local files
130
c14db9b3
LP
131* core/cgroup: support net_cls modules, and support automatically allocating class ids, then add support for making firewall changes depending on it, to implement a per-service firewall
132
fa607802
LP
133* introduce systemd-nspawn-ephemeral@.service, and hook it into "machinectl start" with a new --ephemeral switch
134
cc98b302 135* logind,machined: add generic catch-all polkit verbs for most privileged operations, similar to systemd itself
a47e6701 136
fa607802 137* "machinectl status" should also show internal logs of the container in question
a47e6701 138
92ff080b 139* "machinectl list-images" should show os-release data, as well as machine-info data (including deployment level)
b80c66ba 140
bd69054b
LP
141* nspawn: when start a container "foobar" look for its configuration in a file "foobar.nspawn" in /etc/systemd/nspawn/ as well as next to the actualy directory or image to boot
142
c3a0d00d
LP
143* Port various tools to make use of verbs.[ch], where applicable
144
c3a0d00d
LP
145* "machinectl history"
146
147* "machinectl diff"
148
de146bb2
LP
149* "machinectl commit" that takes a writable snapshot of a tree, invokes a shell in it, and marks it read-only after use
150
358ba19e
LP
151* "machinectl status" should show 10 most recent log lines of both the host logs of the unit of the machine, plus the logs generated in the machine
152
91f4347e 153* add transparent btrfs pool in a loopback file in /var if btrfs operations (such as systemd-import pull-dkr) are used and /var is not a btrfs file system
358ba19e 154
de146bb2
LP
155* systemd-nspawn -x should support ephemeral instances of gpt images
156
5b728e6b
LP
157* move machinectl's mount and copy commands into machined
158
c3a0d00d
LP
159* hostnamectl: show root image uuid
160
82e6c50c
LP
161* sysfs set api in libudev is not const
162
d2f81fb0
LP
163* Find a solution for SMACK capabilities stuff:
164 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-December/026188.html
98cd2651 165
b7307642
LP
166* port libmount hookup to use API's own inotify interface, as soon as that is table in libmount
167
2a441c8a
LP
168* "systemctl preset-all" should probably order the unit files it
169 operates on lexicographically before starting to work, in order to
170 ensure deterministic behaviour if two unit files conflict (like DMs
171 do, for example)
172
40ff4a4a
LP
173* resolved should optionally register additional per-interface LLMNR
174 names, so that for the container case we can establish the same name
175 (maybe "host") for referencing the server, everywhere.
176
0a86c1a9
LP
177* systemd-journal-upload (or a new, related tool): allow pushing out
178 journal messages onto the network in BSD syslog protocol,
f131770b 179 continuously. Default to some link-local IP mcast group, to make this
0a86c1a9
LP
180 useful as a one-stop debugging tool.
181
182* synchronize console access with BSD locks:
183 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-October/024582.html
184
185* as soon as we have kdbus, and sender timestamps, revisit coalescing multiple parallel daemon reloads:
186 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-December/025862.html
187
41114e81
LP
188* set $REMOTE_IP (or $REMOTE_ADDR/$REMOTE_PORT) environment variable when doing per-connection socket activation. use format introduced by xinetd or CGI for this
189
e3286870
LP
190* the install state probably shouldn't get confused by generated units, think dbus1/kdbus compat!
191
e3286870
LP
192* in systemctl list-unit-files: show the install value the presets would suggest for a service in a third column
193
194* we should try harder to collapse start jobs for swaps that end up being the same:
195 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-November/025359.html
196
a195cbad
LP
197* timedated should compensate on SetTime for the time spent in polkit
198
8514b677
LP
199* figure out when we can use the coarse timers
200
6c78f43c
LP
201* sd-resolve: drop res_query wrapping, people should call via the bus to resolved instead
202
7b0fce61
LP
203* add "systemctl start -v foobar.service" that shows logs of a service
204 while the start command runs. This is non-trivial to do without
205 races though, since we should flush out all journal messages before
206 returning from the "systemctl stop".
207
b568ef14 208* firstboot: make it useful to be run immediately after yum --installroot to set up a machine. (most specifically, make --copy-root-password work even if /etc/passwd already exists
c2d5b3c9 209
264b8070
LP
210* timesyncd + resolved: add ugly bus calls to set NTP and DNS servers per-interface, for usage by NM
211
7e27f312
LP
212* add infrastructure to allocate dynamic/transient users and UID ranges, for use in user-namespaced containers, per-seat gdm login screens and gdm guest sessions
213
f81e67f7
LP
214* machined: add an API so that libvirt-lxc can inform us about network interfaces being removed or added to an existing machine
215
d48b7bd2
LP
216* maybe add support for specifier expansion in user.conf, specifically DefaultEnvironment=
217
25e14499
LP
218* code cleanup: retire FOREACH_WORD_QUOTED, port to unquote_first_word() loops instead
219
758c4d7a
LP
220* introduce systemd-timesync-wait.service or so to sync on an NTP fix?
221
821cc13d
LP
222* systemd --user should issue sd_notify() upon reaching basic.target, not on becoming idle
223
8483d73f
LP
224* consider showing the unit names during boot up in the status output, not just the unit descriptions
225
8483d73f
LP
226* dhcp: do we allow configuring dhcp routes on interfaces that are not the one we got the dhcp info from?
227
228* maybe allow timer units with an empty Units= setting, so that they
229 can be used for resuming the system but nothing else.
230
25e773ee 231* what to do about udev db binary stability for apps? (raw access is not an option)
b857e042 232
6dab5bb1
LP
233* maybe provide an API to allow migration of foreign PIDs into existing scopes.
234
384a4be2
LP
235* maybe support a new very "soft" reboot mode, that simply kills all processes, disassembles everything, flushes /run and sysvipc, and then reexecs systemd again
236
706d9750
LP
237* man: document that corrupted journal files is nothing to act on
238
3bcde97e
LP
239* man: maybe use the word "inspect" rather than "introspect"?
240
533bb267
LP
241* "machinectl list" should probably show columns for OS version and IP addresses
242
279f0366 243* systemctl: if some operation fails, show log output?
533bb267 244
b42de08a
ZJS
245* systemctl edit:
246- allow creation of units from scratch
247- use equvalent of cat() to insert existing config as a comment, prepended with #.
248 Upon editor exit, lines with one # are removed, lines with two # are left with one #, etc.
202aea45 249
42aeb14a
LP
250* refcounting in sd-resolve is borked
251
252* exponential backoff in timesyncd and resolved when we cannot reach a server
253
14a32924
LP
254* tmpfiles: port to unquote_many_words(), similar to sysusers
255
256* unquote_many_words() should probably be used by a lot of code that
257 currently uses FOREACH_WORD and friends. For example, most conf
258 parsing callbacks should use it.
259
563b1bdc
LP
260* merge ~/.local/share and ~/.local/lib into one similar /usr/lib and /usr/share....
261
5dcf9838
LP
262* systemd.show_status= should probably have a mode where only failed
263 units are shown.
264
b873d33e 265* networkd:
d61bb44a 266 - add LLDP client side support
ed220efd
LP
267 - the DHCP lease data (such as NTP/DNS) is still made available when
268 a carrier is lost on a link. It should be removed instantly.
41488fe9
LP
269 - .network setting that allows overriding of the hostname to send to the dhcp server
270 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-July/021550.html
41488fe9
LP
271 - expose in the API the following bits:
272 - option 15, domain name and/or option 119, search list
273 - option 12, host name and/or option 81, fqdn
274 - option 100, 101, timezone
275 - option 123, 144, geolocation
276 - option 252, configure http proxy (PAC/wpad)
ca70bec9
LP
277 - networkd's dhcp server should transparently pass on the DNS and
278 NTP server list it got from user configuration and its dhcp client
279 to clients. It should also pass on its own timezone information.
1dbe0a6e
LP
280 - provide a way to define a per-network interface default metric value
281 for all routes to it. possibly a second default for DHCP routes.
157a180e
TG
282 - allow Name= to be specified repeatedly in the [Match] section. Maybe also
283 support Name=foo*|bar*|baz ?
823f4a91 284 - duplicate address check for static IPs (like ARPCHECK in network-scripts)
b873d33e 285
9d6db739 286* resolved:
1dbe0a6e
LP
287 - put networkd events and rtnl events at a higher priority, so that
288 we always process them before we process client requests
9d6db739 289 - DNSSEC
ff3d6560
ZJS
290 - use base64 for key presentation?
291 - add display of private key types (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4034#appendix-A.1.1)?
151226ab 292 - add nice formatting of DNS timestamps
23c4091d
LP
293 - DNS
294 - search paths
9d6db739 295 - mDNS/DNS-SD
0f47ed0a 296 - avahi compat
9d6db739 297 - DNS-SD service registration from socket units
bc075489
LP
298 - edns0
299 - dname
b6b63571 300 - cname on PTR (?)
279f0366
LP
301 - maybe randomize DNS UDP source ports
302 - maybe compare query section of DNS replies
3f77a1b1 303
e2a69298
LP
304* Allow multiple ExecStart= for all Type= settings, so that we can cover rescue.service nicely
305
2834ffe7
LP
306* Add a new verb "systemctl top"
307
a940778f
LP
308* add new gpt type for btrfs volumes
309
a01647e5 310* support empty /etc boots nicely:
3c779fa5 311 - nspawn/gpt-generator: introduce new gpt partition type for /usr
a940778f 312 - fstab-generator: support systemd.volatile=yes|no|state on the kernel cmdline, too, similar to nspawn's --volatile=
a01647e5 313
3de03738
LP
314* generator that automatically discovers btrfs subvolumes, identifies their purpose based on some xattr on them.
315
2b1c3767
LP
316* timer units: actually add extra delays to timer units with high AccuracySec values, don't start them already when we are awake...
317
37efac5d
LP
318* a way for container managers to turn off getty starting via $container_headless= or so...
319
7348b3ad
LP
320* figure out a nice way how we can let the admin know what child/sibling unit causes cgroup membership for a specific unit
321
e107ed18
LP
322* mount_cgroup_controllers(): symlinks need to get the label applied
323
81429136
KS
324* For timer units: add some mechanisms so that timer units that trigger immediately on boot do not have the services
325 they run added to the initial transaction and thus confuse Type=idle.
e107ed18 326
f598ac3e 327* Run most system services with cgroupfs read-only and procfs with a more secure mode (doesn't work, since the hidepid= option is per-pid-namespace, not per-mount)
11fb37f1 328
01083ad0
LP
329* sd-event: generate a failure of a default event loop is executed out-of-thread
330
edb2935c
LP
331* add bus api to query unit file's X fields.
332
769918ec
LP
333* consider adding RuntimeDirectoryUser= + RuntimeDirectoryGroup=
334
335* sd-event: define more intervals where we will shift wakeup intervals around in, 1h, 6h, 24h, ...
336
6a3f892a 337* gpt-auto-generator:
2a781fc9
LP
338 - Support LUKS for root devices
339 - Define new partition type for encrypted swap? Support probed LUKS for encrypted swap?
6a3f892a 340 - Make /home automount rather than mount?
6a3f892a 341
65026403
LP
342* add generator that pulls in systemd-network from containers when
343 CAP_NET_ADMIN is set, more than the loopback device is defined, even
344 when it is otherwise off
f8901862 345
eda8f067
LP
346* MessageQueueMessageSize= and RLimitFSIZE= (and suchlike) should use parse_iec_size().
347
d4fdc205
LP
348* "busctl status" works only as root on dbus1, since we cannot read
349 /proc/$PID/exe
350
af1082b0
LP
351* implement Distribute= in socket units to allow running multiple
352 service instances processing the listening socket, and open this up
353 for ReusePort=
354
488ad3b3
LP
355* socket units: support creating sockets in different namespace,
356 opening it up for JoinsNamespaceOf=. This would require to fork off
357 a tiny process that joins the namespace and creates/binds the socket
358 and passes this back to PID1 via SCM_RIGHTS. This also could be used
359 to allow Chown/chgrp on sockets without requiring NSS in PID 1.
360
47c94a96
LP
361* New service property: maximum CPU and wallclock runtime for a service
362
09ecd746
LP
363* introduce bus call FreezeUnit(s, b), as well as "systemctl freeze
364 $UNIT" and "systemctl thaw $UNIT" as wrappers around this. The calls
365 should SIGSTOP all unit processes in a loop until all processes of
366 it are fully stopped. This can later be used for app management by
367 desktop UIs such as gnome-shell to freeze apps that are not visible
368 on screen, not unlike how job control works on the shell
369
f38afcd0 370* cgroups:
f38afcd0
LP
371 - implement per-slice CPUFairScheduling=1 switch
372 - handle jointly mounted controllers correctly
373 - introduce high-level settings for RT budget, swappiness
374 - how to reset dynamically changed unit cgroup attributes sanely?
375 - when reloading configuration, apply new cgroup configuration
376 - when recursively showing the cgroup hierarchy, optionally also show
377 the hierarchies of child processes
0bee65f0 378
f38afcd0
LP
379* transient units:
380 - allow creating auxiliary units with the same call
381 - add field to transient units that indicate whether systemd or somebody else saves/restores its settings, for integration with libvirt
382 - ensure scope units may be started only a single time
ebcf1f97 383
47c94a96
LP
384* Automatically configure swap partition to use for hibernation by looking for largest swap partition on the root disk?
385
718db961
LP
386* when we detect low battery and no AC on boot, show pretty splash and refuse boot

f38afcd0 388* machined, localed: when we try to kill an empty cgroup, generate an ESRCH error over the bus
718db961
LP
389
390* libsystemd-journal, libsystemd-login, libudev: add calls to easily attach these objects to sd-event event loops
391
966204e0
LP
392* be more careful what we export on the bus as (usec_t) 0 and (usec_t) -1

94676f3e 394* unify dispatch table in systemctl_main() and friends
6fd4d020 395
41644622
LP
396* rfkill,backlight: we probably should run the load tools inside of the udev rules so that the state is properly initialized by the time other software sees it
397
7f79cd71 398* After coming back from hibernation reset hibernation swap partition using the /dev/snapshot ioctl APIs
0aafd43d 399
19aadacf
JE
400* If we try to find a unit via a dangling symlink, generate a clean
401 error. Currently, we just ignore it and read the unit from the search
df5f6971
LP
402 path anyway.

fcba531e
LP
404* refuse boot if /etc/os-release is missing or /etc/machine-id cannot be set up

18d4e7c2 409
bdeeb6b5
LP
410* man: the documentation of Restart= currently is very misleading and suggests the tools from ExecStartPre= might get restarted.
411
412* load .d/*.conf dropins for device units
413
4e09014d
LP
414* allow implementation of InaccessibleDirectories=/ plus
415 ReadOnlyDirectories=... for whitelisting files for a service.
416
6bb648a1 417* sd-bus:
fa607802 418 - GetAllProperties() on a non-existing object does not result in a failure currently
d0928791 419 - kdbus: process fd=-1 for incoming msgs
7212c608 420 - port to sd-resolve for connecting to TCP dbus servers
1f140dd8 421 - kdbus: maybe add controlling tty metadata fields
57f2a947 422 - see if we can introduce a new sd_bus_get_owner_machine_id() call to retrieve the machine ID of the machine of the bus itself
d28315e4 423 - when kdbus does not take our message without memfds, try again with memfds
f38afcd0 424 - see if we can drop more message validation on the sending side
f38afcd0 425 - add API to clone sd_bus_message objects
dc17bcef 426 - make AddMatch calls on dbus1 transports async?
80caea6c 427 - kdbus: matches against source or destination pids for an "strace -p"-like feel. Problem: The PID info needs to be available in userspace too...
ab9716c2 428 - longer term: priority inheritance
df98a87b
LP
429 - dbus spec updates:
430 - kdbus mapping
431 - NameLost/NameAcquired obsolete
432 - GVariant
2ecfc64e 433 - path escaping
6a8b5fa4 434 - update systemd.special(7) to mention that dbus.socket is only about the compatibility socket now
69727e6d 435 - test bloom filter generation indexes
279f0366
LP
436 - bus-proxy: when passing messages from kdbus, make sure we properly
437 handle the case where a large number of fds is appended that we
438 cannot pass into sendmsg() of the AF_UNIX sokcet (which only accepts
439 253 messages)
b568ef14 440 - kdbus: introduce a concept of "send-only" connections
0ad68f87 441 - kdbus: add counter for refused unicast messages that is passed out via the RECV ioctl. SImilar to the counter for dropped multicast messages we already have.
f38afcd0
LP
442
443* sd-event
12179984 444 - allow multiple signal handlers per signal?
0536ce5d 445 - document chaining of signal handler for SIGCHLD and child handlers
eb01ba5d 446

447* in the final killing spree, detect processes from the root directory, and
448 complain loudly if they have argv[0][0] == '@' set.
449 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=961044

69af4503 451* investigate endianness issues of UUID vs. GUID
e8a7a315 452
461bd8e4
LP
453* dbus: when a unit failed to load (i.e. is in UNIT_ERROR state), we
454 should be able to safely try another attempt when the bus call LoadUnit() is invoked.
455
ab8e074c
LP
456* add a pam module that passes the hdd passphrase into the PAM stack and then expires it, for usage by gdm auto-login.

459
b454b112
LP
460* maybe add a generator that looks for "systemd.run=" on the kernel cmdline for container usercases...

4ff49cb6
LP
462* cgtop: make cgtop useful in a container
463
fff87a35
ZJS
464* test/:
465 - add 'set -e' to scripts in test/
466 - make stuff in test/ work with separate output dir
b8b4d3dd 467
b5c03638 468* seems that when we follow symlinks to units we prefer the symlink
d28315e4 469 destination path over /etc and /usr. We should not do that. Instead
b5c03638
LP
470 /etc should always override /run+/usr and also any symlink
471 destination.

eece8c6f
LP
473* when isolating, try to figure out a way how we implicitly can order
474 all units we stop before the isolating unit...

356ce991
LP
476* teach ConditionKernelCommandLine= globs or regexes (in order to match foobar={no,0,off})
477
c1446921
LP
478* BootLoaderSpec: Clarify that the kernel has to be in $BOOT. Clarify
479 that the boot loader should be installed to the ESP. Define a way
480 how an installer can figure out whether a BLS compliant boot loader
481 is installed.
795607b2 482
0be8342c
LP
483* think about requeuing jobs when daemon-reload is issued? usecase:
484 the initrd issues a reload after fstab from the host is accessible
485 and we might want to requeue the mounts local-fs acquired through
486 that automatically.
487
e5ec62c5 488* systemd-inhibit: make taking delay locks useful: support sending SIGINT or SIGTERM on PrepareForSleep()
54c31a79 489
826872b6
LP
490* journal-or-kmsg is currently broken? See reverted commit 4a01181e460686d8b4a543b1dfa7f77c9e3c5ab8.

d28315e4 492* remove any syslog support from log.c -- we probably cannot do this before split-off udev is gone for good
826872b6 493
3679d112
LP
494* shutdown logging: store to EFI var, and store to USB stick?
495
3679d112
LP
496* write UI tool that pops up emergency messages from the journal as notification
497
498* think about window-manager-run-as-user-service problem: exit 0 → activate shutdown.target; exit != 0 → restart service
499
356ce991 500* merge unit_kill_common() and unit_kill_context()
490b7e47 501
81d112a8 502* introduce ExecCondition= in services
490b7e47 503
b44be3ec 504* EFI:
b44be3ec
LP
505 - honor language efi variables for default language selection (if there are any?)
506 - honor timezone efi variables for default timezone selection (if there are any?)
466784c8 507 - change bootctl to be backed by systemd-bootd to control temporary and persistent default boot goal plus efi variables
e4181484 508
c0fe5db5 509* maybe do not install getty@tty1.service symlink in /etc but in /usr?
e9fd44b7 510
b44be3ec 511* re-enable "make check" for gtk-doc (broken for unknown reason)
e9fd44b7 512
b44be3ec
LP
513* fstab: add new mount option x-systemd-after=/foobar/waldo to allow manual dependencies to other mount points
514 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=812826
3040728b 515
b44be3ec 516* print a nicer explanation if people use variable/specifier expansion in ExecStart= for the first word
8ed20651 517
b44be3ec 518* mount: turn dependency information from /proc/self/mountinfo into dependency information between systemd units.
e6c6e7af 519
b44be3ec
LP
520* logind:
521 - logind: optionally, ignore idle-hint logic for autosuspend, block suspend as long as a session is around
522 - When we update the kernel all kind of hibernation should be prohibited until shutdown/reboot
523 - logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
524 - Add pretty name for seats in logind
525 - logind: allow showing logout dialog from system?
e5ec62c5 526 - we should probably handle SIGTERM/SIGINT to not leave dot files around, just in case
f38afcd0
LP
527 - session scopes/user unit: add RequiresMountsFor for the home directory of the user
528 - add Suspend() bus calls which take timestamps to fix double suspend issues when somebody hits suspend and closes laptop quickly.
529 - if pam_systemd is invoked by su from a process that is outside of a
530 any session we should probably just become a NOP, since that's
531 usually not a real user session but just some system code that just
532 needs setuid().
279f0366
LP
533 - logind: make the Suspend()/Hibernate() bus calls wait for the for
534 the job to be completed. before returning, so that clients can wait
535 for "systemctl suspend" to finish to know when the suspending is
536 complete.
537 - logind: when the power button is pressed short, just popup a
538 logout dialog. If it is pressed for 1s, do the usual
539 shutdown. Inspiration are Macs here.
540 - logind: allow users to kill or lock their own sessions
541 - expose "Locked" property on logind sesison objects
542 - given that logind now lets PID 1 do all nasty work, we can
543 probably reduce the capability set it retains substantially.
544 (we need CAP_SYS_ADMIN for drmSetMaster(), so maybe not worth it)
b568ef14 545 - expose orientation sensors and tablet mode through logind
e673ad04 546
b44be3ec 547* exec: when deinitializating a tty device fix the perms and group, too, not only when initializing. Set access mode/gid to 0620/tty.
e673ad04 548
b44be3ec 549* service: watchdog logic: for testing purposes allow ping, but do not require pong
e673ad04 550
b44be3ec 551* journal:
57f2a947 552 - consider introducing implicit _TTY= + _PPID= + _EUID= + _EGID= + _FSUID= + _FSGID= fields
c06bf414 553 - import and delete pstore filesystem content at startup
b44be3ec
LP
554 - journald: also get thread ID from client, plus thread name
555 - journal: when waiting for journal additions in the client always sleep at least 1s or so, in order to minimize wakeups
556 - add API to close/reopen/get fd for journal client fd in libsystemd-journal.
d28315e4 557 - fallback to /dev/log based logging in libsystemd-journal, if we cannot log natively?
b44be3ec
LP
558 - declare the local journal protocol stable in the wiki interface chart
559 - journal: reuse XZ context
560 - sd-journal: speed up sd_journal_get_data() with transparent hash table in bg
561 - journald: when dropping msgs due to ratelimit make sure to write
562 "dropped %u messages" not only when we are about to print the next
563 message that works, but alraedy after a short tiemout
564 - check if we can make journalctl by default use --follow mode inside of less if called without args?
565 - maybe add API to send pairs of iovecs via sd_journal_send
566 - journal: when writing journal auto-rotate if time jumps backwards
f47ec8eb 567 - journal: add a setgid "systemd-journal" utility to invoke from libsystemd-journal, which passes fds via STDOUT and does PK access
b44be3ec
LP
568 - journactl: support negative filtering, i.e. FOOBAR!="waldo",
569 and !FOOBAR for events without FOOBAR.
038cf334
ZJS
570 - journal: store timestamp of journal_file_set_offline() int he header,
571 so it is possible to display when the file was last synced.
b44be3ec
LP
572 - 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.
573 - journal: find a way to allow dropping history early, based on priority, other rules
574 - journal: When used on NFS, check payload hashes
b44be3ec
LP
575 - journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
576 - refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
577 - journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
578 - journal: deal nicely with byte-by-byte copied files, especially regards header
b44be3ec 579 - journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the components would fit
601d9d6f 580 - Replace utmp, wtmp, btmp, and lastlog completely with journal
f38afcd0 581 - journalctl: instead --after-cursor= maybe have a --cursor=XYZ+1 syntax?
f38afcd0
LP
582 - when a kernel driver logs in a tight loop, we should ratelimit that too.
583 - journald: optionally, log debug messages to /run but everything else to /var
584 - journald: when we drop syslog messages because the syslog socket is
585 full, make sure to write how many messages are lost as first thing
586 to syslog when it works again.
587 - journald: make sure ratelimit is actually really per-service with the new cgroup changes
588 - change systemd-journal-flush into a service that stays around during
589 boot, and causes the journal to be moved back to /run on shutdown,
d28315e4 590 so that we do not keep /var busy. This needs to happen synchronously,
f38afcd0 591 hence doing this via signals is not going to work.
279f0366
LP
592 - optionally support running journald from the command line for testing purposes in external projects
593 - journald: allow per-priority and per-service retention times when rotating/vacuuming
594 - journald: make use of uid-range.h to managed uid ranges to split
595 journals in.
596 - journalctl: add the ability to look for the most recent process of a binary. journalctl /usr/bin/X11 --pid=-1 or so...
597 - improve journalctl performance by loading journal files
598 lazily. Encode just enough information in the file name, so that we
599 do not have to open it to know that it is not interesting for us, for
600 the most common operations.
b44be3ec
LP
601
602* document:
8b8f2591 603 - document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fields in
b44be3ec
LP
604 [Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
605 - man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
b44be3ec 606 - document the exit codes when services fail before they are exec()ed
b44be3ec 607 - document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
eb124a97 608 - document in wiki how to map ical recurrence events to systemd timer unit calendar specifications
f38afcd0
LP
609 - add a man page containing packaging guidelines and recommending usage of things like Documentation=, PrivateTmp=, PrivateNetwork= and ReadOnlyDirectories=/etc /usr.
610 - document systemd-journal-flush.service properly
f38afcd0
LP
611 - documentation: recommend to connect the timer units of a service to the service via Also= in [Install]
612 - man: document the very specific env the shutdown drop-in tools live in
613 - man: extend runlevel(8) to mention that runlevels suck, and are dead. Maybe add runlevel(7) with a note about that too
614 - man: add more examples to man pages
615 - man: maybe sort directives in man pages, and take sections from --help and apply them to man too
b44be3ec
LP
616
617* systemctl:
618 - systemctl list-jobs - show dependencies
619 - add systemctl switch to dump transaction without executing it
620 - Add a verbose mode to "systemctl start" and friends that explains what is being done or not done
621 - "systemctl disable" on a static unit prints no message and does
622 nothing. "systemctl enable" does nothing, and gives a bad message
623 about it. Should fix both to print nice actionable messages.
624 - print nice message from systemctl --failed if there are no entries shown, and hook that into ExecStartPre of rescue.service/emergency.service
625 - add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
d28315e4 626 - systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into does not exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
b44be3ec
LP
627 - systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
628 - support "systemctl stop foobar@.service" to stop all units matching a certain template
629 - Something is wrong with symlink handling of "autovt@.service" in "systemctl list-unit-files"
f38afcd0
LP
630 - better error message if you run systemctl without systemd running
631 - systemctl status output should should include list of triggering units and their status
f38afcd0
LP
632
633* unit install:
634 - "systemctl mask" should find all names by which a unit is accessible
635 (i.e. by scanning for symlinks to it) and link them all to /dev/null
f38afcd0 636 - systemctl list-unit-files should list generated files (and probably with a new state "generated" for them, or so)
8b04b925 637
b44be3ec 638* timer units:
b44be3ec
LP
639 - timer units should get the ability to trigger when:
640 o CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (TFD_TIMER_CANCEL_ON_SET)
641 o DST changes
eb124a97 642 - Support 2012-02~4 as syntax for specifying the fourth to last day of the month.
f38afcd0 643 - calendarspec: support value ranges with ".." notation. Example: 2013-4..8-1
d28315e4 644 - when parsing calendar timestamps support the UTC timezone (even if we will not support arbitrary timezone specs, support UTC itself certainly makes sense), also support syntaxes such as +0200
90e071d1 645 - Modulate timer frequency based on battery state
d2e83c23 646
a19554ed
LP
647* add libsystemd-password or so to query passwords during boot using the password agent logic
648
1cb88f2c
LP
649* 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().
650
651* fedup: add --unit to systemctl switch-root somehow
d28315e4 652* fedup: do not delete initrd on switch-root
1cb88f2c 653* fedup: generator
603cd8fe 654
a7a3f28b

655* clean up date formatting and parsing so that all absolute/relative timestamps we format can also be parsed

660 waiting for the timeout
dcfc4b2e 661
71ef24d0
LP
662* hostnamed: before returning information from /etc/machine-info.conf check the modification data and reread. Similar for localed, ...

d28315e4 664* currently x-systemd.timeout is lost in the initrd, since crypttab is copied into dracut, but fstab is not
1b89884b 665
b44be3ec 666* nspawn:
9cb74bcb 667 - refuses to boot containers without /etc/machine-id (OK?), and with empty /etc/machine-id (not OK).
b44be3ec

669* cryptsetup:
b44be3ec

672 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54982
5f1dac6b 673 - support rd.luks.allow-discards= kernel cmdline params in cryptsetup generator
f8019684 674
424a19f8 675* hw watchdog: optionally try to use the preset watchdog timeout instead of always overriding it

0790b9fe 689
68f16003
LP
690* drop PID 1 reloading, only do reexecing (difficult: Reload()
691 currently is properly synchronous, Reexec() is weird, because we
d28315e4 692 cannot delay the response properly until we are back, so instead of
68f16003 693 being properly synchronous we just keep open the fd and close it
d28315e4 694 when done. That means clients do not get a successful method reply,
68f16003 695 but much rather a disconnect on success.
0790b9fe 696

713 - set superblock timeout AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_TIMEOUT_CMD
714 - periodically run AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_EXPIRE_CMD
715 - every timeout/4 (original autofs logic)
716 - blocking, needs a thread
717 - run until -EAGAIN
718 - receive expire packet on pipe if kernel tells the timeout is over
719 - call umount
