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.
20ffc4c4 13
6eb7a9a0
ZJS
14* fix --header to files without entries (see test-journal output).
15
2d19f95c 16Fedora 19:
3679d112 17
a4cc3e5c
LP
18* external: maybe it is time to patch procps so that "ps" links to
19 libsystemd-logind to print a pretty service name, seat name, session
20 name in its output. Currently it only shows cgroup membership, but
0028da22 21 that's sometimes kinda hard to parse for a human.
a4cc3e5c 22
7e2c2bcf 23* cgroup attrs:
f0c15f28 24 - update dbus interface docs in wiki
7b4da18c 25
81d112a8 26* localed:
81d112a8
LP
27 - localectl: support new converted x11→console keymaps
28
eb124a97 29Features:
154ff088 30
4e09014d
LP
31* cgroup-agent: downgrade error messages
32
33* document systemd-journal-flush.service properly
34
35* chane systemd-journal-flush into a service that stays around during
36 boot, and causes the journal to be moved back to /run on shutdown,
37 so that we don't keep /var busy. This needs to happen synchronously,
38 hence doing this via signals is not going to work.
39
40* allow implementation of InaccessibleDirectories=/ plus
41 ReadOnlyDirectories=... for whitelisting files for a service.
42
d5a2b9a6
LP
43* libsystemd-journal:
44 - return ECHILD as soon as somebody tries to reuse a journal object across a fork()
45
eb01ba5d
LP
46* libsystemd-bus:
47 - default policy (allow uid == 0 and our own uid)
48 - enforce alignment of pointers passed in
eb01ba5d 49 - when kdbus doesn't take our message without memfds, try again with memfds
eb01ba5d
LP
50 - implement translator service
51 - port systemd to new library
52 - implement busname unit type in systemd
53 - move to gvariant
eb01ba5d 54 - merge busctl into systemctl or so?
e4ee6e5c 55 - synthesize sd_bus_message objects from kernel messages
c7819669 56 - properly implement name registry ioctls for kdbus
86312ab8
LP
57 - get rid of object hash table, use decision tree everyhwere instead?
58 - implement monitor logic
59 - object vtable logic
60 - longer term:
61 * priority queues
86312ab8 62 * priority inheritance
eb01ba5d 63
154ff088
LP
64* in the final killing spree, detect processes from the root directory, and
65 complain loudly if they have argv[0][0] == '@' set.
66 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=961044
67
7e853a9b
LP
68* add an option to nspawn that uses seccomp to make socket(AF_NETLINK,
69 SOCK_RAW, NETLINK_AUDIT) fail the the appropriate error code that
70 makes the audit userspace to think auditing is not available in the
71 kernel.
72
d686f034
LP
73* Introduce a way how we can kill the main process of a service with KillSignal, but all processes with SIGKILL later on
74 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=952634
75
19aa7c4f
LP
76* maybe add a warning to the unit file parses whern the acces mode of unit files is non-sensical.
77
aa96c6cb 78* investigate endianess issues of UUID vs. GUID
e8a7a315 79
461bd8e4
LP
80* dbus: when a unit failed to load (i.e. is in UNIT_ERROR state), we
81 should be able to safely try another attempt when the bus call LoadUnit() is invoked.
82
ab8e074c
LP
83* if pam_systemd is invoked by su from a process that is outside of a
84 any session we should probably just become a NOP, since that's
85 usually not a real user session but just some system code that just
86 needs setuid().
87
88* add a pam module that passes the hdd passphrase into the PAM stack and then expires it, for usage by gdm auto-login.
89
90* add a pam module that on password changes updates any LUKS slot where the password matches
91
b454b112
LP
92* maybe add a generator that looks for "systemd.run=" on the kernel cmdline for container usercases...
93
94* timedatctl, localectl: possibly make some commands work without the daemon, for chroot situations...
95
4a449ed7 96* logind: add Suspend() bus calls which take timestamps to fix double suspend issues when somebody hits suspend and closes laptop quickly.
75512303 97
4a449ed7
LP
98* we need dynamic units
99
4ff49cb6
LP
100* cgtop: make cgtop useful in a container
101
fff87a35
ZJS
102* test/:
103 - add 'set -e' to scripts in test/
104 - make stuff in test/ work with separate output dir
105 - remove all the duplicated code in test/
b8b4d3dd
LP
106
107* suppress log output on shutdown when "quiet" is used
108
109* systemctl delete x.snapshot leaves no trace in logs (at least at default level).
110
3df82d5a
LP
111* make the coredump collector tool move itself into the user's cgroup
112 so that the coredump is properly written to the user's own journal
113 file.
114
5666ea6f
KS
115* move /usr/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/modules.devname parsing from udevd to
116 kmod static-nodes
117 call kmod as an early service, and drop CAP_MKNOD from udevd.service
a9602630 118
b5c03638
LP
119* seems that when we follow symlinks to units we prefer the symlink
120 destination path over /etc and /usr. We shouldn't do that. Instead
121 /etc should always override /run+/usr and also any symlink
122 destination.
123
752beb0c
LP
124* remove duplicate default deps logic from fstab-generator vs. mount.c
125
eece8c6f
LP
126* when isolating, try to figure out a way how we implicitly can order
127 all units we stop before the isolating unit...
128
d325d9bc
KS
129* teach udev + logind's uaccess to somehow handle the "dead" device nodes from:
130 /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/modules.devname
131 and apply ACLs to them if they have TAG=="uaccess" in udev rules.
3679d112 132
356ce991
LP
133* add ConditionArchitecture= or so
134
135* teach ConditionKernelCommandLine= globs or regexes (in order to match foobar={no,0,off})
136
bfa00bc6
LP
137* we should log capabilities too
138
3b953d68
JT
139* Support SO_REUSEPORT with socket activation:
140 - Let systemd maintain a pool of servers.
141 - Use for seamless upgrades, by running the new server before stopping the
142 old.
143
09f727ee
LP
144* after all byte-wise realloc() is slow, even on glibc, so i guess we
145 need manual exponential loops after all
146
795607b2
LP
147* BootLoaderSpec: drop allowing ext234 for $BOOT. Clarify that the
148 kernel has to be in $BOOT. Clarify that the boot loader should be
149 installed to the ESP. Define a way how an installer can figure out
150 whether a BLS compliant boot loader is installed.
151
795607b2
LP
152* man: remove .include documentation, and instead push people to use .d/*.conf
153
0be8342c
LP
154* think about requeuing jobs when daemon-reload is issued? usecase:
155 the initrd issues a reload after fstab from the host is accessible
156 and we might want to requeue the mounts local-fs acquired through
157 that automatically.
158
487060c2
LP
159* rework specifier logic so that we can distuingish OOM errors from other errors
160
e5ec62c5 161* systemd-inhibit: make taking delay locks useful: support sending SIGINT or SIGTERM on PrepareForSleep()
54c31a79 162
826872b6
LP
163* journal-or-kmsg is currently broken? See reverted commit 4a01181e460686d8b4a543b1dfa7f77c9e3c5ab8.
164
54c31a79 165* remove any syslog support from log.c -- we probably can't do this before split-off udev is gone for good
826872b6 166
8973790e 167* documentation: recommend to connect the timer units of a service to the service via Also= in [Install]
3679d112
LP
168
169* add a tool that lists active timer units plus their next elapstion and the time the units ran last
170
171* man: document the very specific env the shutdown drop-in tools live in
172
173* shutdown logging: store to EFI var, and store to USB stick?
174
175* man: extend runlevel(8) to mention that runlevels suck, and are dead. Maybe add runlevel(7) with a note about that too
176
177* systemctl: maybe add "systemctl add-wants" or so...
178
3679d112
LP
179* man: add more examples to man pages
180
181* man: maybe sort directives in man pages, and take sections from --help and apply them to man too
182
3679d112
LP
183* write UI tool that pops up emergency messages from the journal as notification
184
185* think about window-manager-run-as-user-service problem: exit 0 → activate shutdown.target; exit != 0 → restart service
186
187* msgcatalog determine default language of entries from the catalog
188 file name. i.e. foobar.de_DE.catalog would set the default entry
189 name for the entries to de_DE if they aren't explicitly suffixed
190 individually.
191
cbb77121
LP
192* use "log level" rather than "log priority" everywhere
193
d01a73b6
LP
194* timedate: have global on/off switches for auto-time (NTP), and auto-timezone that connman can subscribe to.
195
990ffbe5 196* Honour "-" prefix for InaccessibleDirectories= and ReadOnlyDirectories= to
f8aeee1f
LP
197 suppress errors of the specified path doesn't exist
198
199* dev-setup.c: when running in a container, create a tiny stub udev
200 database with the systemd tag set for all network interfaces found,
201 so that libudev reports them as present, and systemd's .device units
202 will be activated.
203
356ce991 204* merge unit_kill_common() and unit_kill_context()
490b7e47 205
81d112a8 206* introduce ExecCondition= in services
490b7e47 207
b44be3ec
LP
208* EFI:
209 - fsck hookup for the ESP mount is missing
210 - write man page for efi boot generator
b44be3ec
LP
211 - honor language efi variables for default language selection (if there are any?)
212 - honor timezone efi variables for default timezone selection (if there are any?)
213 - introduce bootctl (backed by systemd-bootd) to control temporary and persistent default boot goal plus efi variables
e4181484 214
c0fe5db5 215* maybe do not install getty@tty1.service symlink in /etc but in /usr?
e9fd44b7 216
b44be3ec 217* re-enable "make check" for gtk-doc (broken for unknown reason)
e9fd44b7 218
b44be3ec
LP
219* fstab: add new mount option x-systemd-after=/foobar/waldo to allow manual dependencies to other mount points
220 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=812826
3040728b 221
b44be3ec 222* print a nicer explanation if people use variable/specifier expansion in ExecStart= for the first word
8ed20651 223
b44be3ec 224* mount: turn dependency information from /proc/self/mountinfo into dependency information between systemd units.
e6c6e7af 225
b44be3ec
LP
226* logind:
227 - logind: optionally, ignore idle-hint logic for autosuspend, block suspend as long as a session is around
228 - When we update the kernel all kind of hibernation should be prohibited until shutdown/reboot
229 - logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
230 - Add pretty name for seats in logind
231 - logind: allow showing logout dialog from system?
232 - logind: spawn user@..service on login
233 - logind: non-local X11 server handling
234 - logind: add equivalent to sd_pid_get_owner_uid() to the D-Bus API
b44be3ec 235 - pam: when leaving a session explicitly exclude the ReleaseSession() caller process from the killing spree
eb124a97 236 - logind: GetSessionByPID() should accept 0 as PID value
e5ec62c5 237 - we should probably handle SIGTERM/SIGINT to not leave dot files around, just in case
e673ad04 238
b44be3ec 239* exec: when deinitializating a tty device fix the perms and group, too, not only when initializing. Set access mode/gid to 0620/tty.
e673ad04 240
b44be3ec 241* DeviceAllow/DeviceDeny: disallow everything by default, but whitelist /dev/zero, /dev/null and friends
e673ad04 242
b44be3ec 243* service: watchdog logic: for testing purposes allow ping, but do not require pong
e673ad04 244
b44be3ec 245* journal:
b87b8b2b
KS
246 - do not use magic msync() in src/journal/journal-file.c, just call fsync()
247 <alxchk> poettering: looks like msync just calls vfs_fsync
248 http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/mm/msync.c#n18
c06bf414 249 - import and delete pstore filesystem content at startup
b44be3ec
LP
250 - journald: also get thread ID from client, plus thread name
251 - journal: when waiting for journal additions in the client always sleep at least 1s or so, in order to minimize wakeups
252 - add API to close/reopen/get fd for journal client fd in libsystemd-journal.
253 - fallback to /dev/log based logging in libsystemd-journal, if we can't log natively?
254 - declare the local journal protocol stable in the wiki interface chart
255 - journal: reuse XZ context
256 - sd-journal: speed up sd_journal_get_data() with transparent hash table in bg
257 - journald: when dropping msgs due to ratelimit make sure to write
258 "dropped %u messages" not only when we are about to print the next
259 message that works, but alraedy after a short tiemout
260 - check if we can make journalctl by default use --follow mode inside of less if called without args?
261 - maybe add API to send pairs of iovecs via sd_journal_send
262 - journal: when writing journal auto-rotate if time jumps backwards
f47ec8eb 263 - journal: add a setgid "systemd-journal" utility to invoke from libsystemd-journal, which passes fds via STDOUT and does PK access
b44be3ec
LP
264 - journactl: support negative filtering, i.e. FOOBAR!="waldo",
265 and !FOOBAR for events without FOOBAR.
266 - journal: when rotating, copy over old acls/access mode
b44be3ec 267 - journal: send out marker messages every now and then, and immediately sync with fdatasync() afterwards, in order to have hourly guaranteed syncs.
b44be3ec
LP
268 - 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.
269 - journal: find a way to allow dropping history early, based on priority, other rules
270 - journal: When used on NFS, check payload hashes
b44be3ec
LP
271 - Introduce journalctl -b <nr> to show journal messages of a previous boot
272 - journald: check whether it is OK if the client can still modify delivered journal entries
f47ec8eb 273 - journal live copy, based on libneon (client) and libmicrohttpd (server)
b44be3ec
LP
274 - journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
275 - refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
276 - journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
277 - journal: deal nicely with byte-by-byte copied files, especially regards header
278 - journalctl: show multiline log messages sanely, expand tabs, and show all valid utf8 messages
279 - journal: store euid in journal if it differs from uid
280 - journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the components would fit
601d9d6f
JT
281 - Replace utmp, wtmp, btmp, and lastlog completely with journal
282 - Port upower to use the journal for historical power information used in future calculations
b44be3ec
LP
283
284* document:
285 - document unit_name_mangle()
286 - document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fileds in
287 [Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
288 - man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
289 - Document word splitting syntax for ExecStart= and friends
290 - document that units from /etc override those from /usr and /run
291 - document the exit codes when services fail before they are exec()ed
b44be3ec 292 - document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
eb124a97 293 - document in wiki how to map ical recurrence events to systemd timer unit calendar specifications
b44be3ec
LP
294
295* systemctl:
296 - systemctl list-jobs - show dependencies
297 - add systemctl switch to dump transaction without executing it
298 - Add a verbose mode to "systemctl start" and friends that explains what is being done or not done
299 - "systemctl disable" on a static unit prints no message and does
300 nothing. "systemctl enable" does nothing, and gives a bad message
301 about it. Should fix both to print nice actionable messages.
302 - print nice message from systemctl --failed if there are no entries shown, and hook that into ExecStartPre of rescue.service/emergency.service
303 - add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
304 - systemctl enable: improve the success messages (i.e. more human readable, less shell-like)
305 - systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into doesn't exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
306 - systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
307 - support "systemctl stop foobar@.service" to stop all units matching a certain template
308 - Something is wrong with symlink handling of "autovt@.service" in "systemctl list-unit-files"
8b04b925 309
e673ad04
LP
310* introduce ntp.service (or suchlike) as symlink that is used to arbitrate between various NTP implementations
311
b44be3ec
LP
312* deal with sendmail/postfix exclusivity
313
314* timer units:
315 - configurable jitter for timer events
316 - timer events with system resume
317 - timer units should get the ability to trigger when:
318 o CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (TFD_TIMER_CANCEL_ON_SET)
319 o DST changes
eb124a97 320 - Support 2012-02~4 as syntax for specifying the fourth to last day of the month.
d2e83c23
KS
321
322* update the kernel's TZ (sys_tz) when DST changes
323
324* sync down the system time to the RTC when:
f6113d42
KS
325 - CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (the user explicitely requested a time set)
326 - DST/timezone changes && ntp is active && RTC-in-localtime (never do it without ntp)
d2e83c23 327 This takes care of syncing ntpdate updates to the RTC, and DST updates for localtime
7a43e910 328 mode, it will never touch the RTC if the no reliable time source is active or the
d2e83c23 329 user did not request anything like it.
c55b1b59 330
6c1703cc
KS
331* hwdb:
332 - implement conditional properties (dmi matches)
333 - hwdb --filter=ID_DRIVE_*
08f95888 334
59704f3e
LP
335* if booted in "quiet" mode, and an error happens, turn on status
336 output again, so that the emergency mode isn't totally
337 surprising. Also, terminate plymouth.
9ec82de1 338
e707c494
LP
339* libunwind support for coredump pattern hook, and includes this in
340 the message for coredumps. After all, libunwind is now capable to
341 unwind coredumps since a few weeks ago. This probably requires that
7f873283
LP
342 we have nice support for multi-line messages on display in
343 logs-show.c. Alternatively: use libelfutil, which seems to be the
344 better supported alternative.
e707c494 345
e707c494
LP
346* figure out relation of --all and --full in the various tools
347
a19554ed
LP
348* add libsystemd-password or so to query passwords during boot using the password agent logic
349
1cb88f2c
LP
350* 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().
351
352* fedup: add --unit to systemctl switch-root somehow
353* fedup: don't delete initrd on switch-root
354* fedup: generator
603cd8fe 355
b44be3ec 356* timedated:
b44be3ec 357 - timedated: refuse time changes when NTP is on
6d0274f1 358
a7a3f28b
LP
359* clean up date formatting and parsing so that all absolute/relative timestamps we format can also be parsed
360
9b27910b
LP
361* introduce generic AUGMENT_PID=, AUGMENT_DEVICE= fields
362
b44be3ec 363* on shutdown: move utmp, wall, audit logic all into PID 1 (or logind?), get rid of systemd-update-utmp-runlevel
08f95888 364
7d8197d1
KS
365* add "provisioning" instructions to setup an empty /etc + /var
366 - used to setup a new container from a shared /usr
367 - superset of tmpfiles model
368 - instructions shipped by packages and stored in /usr/lib/
369 - compose /etc/passwd and /etc/group, copy files
370 - able to create uid + gid used by packages, for file ownership
371
9ee58bdd
KS
372* make repeated alt-ctrl-del presses printing a dump, or even force a reboot without
373 waiting for the timeout
dcfc4b2e 374
71ef24d0
LP
375* high level net_prio setting in execution context
376
71ef24d0
LP
377* hostnamed: before returning information from /etc/machine-info.conf check the modification data and reread. Similar for localed, ...
378
1b89884b
LP
379* currently x-systemd.timeout is lost in the initrd, since crypttab is copied into dracut, but fstab isn't
380
15abdb9a 381* refuse boot if /etc/machine-id is not useful (or set taint?)
1920e37e 382
b44be3ec
LP
383* nspawn:
384 - nspawn: consider changing users for -u with su, so that NSS resolving works correctly
385 - nspawn: implement personality changes a la linux32(8)
386 - nspawn: --read-only is not applied recursively to submounts
387 - nspawn: make use of device cgroup controller by default
388 - bind mount read-only the cgroup tree higher than nspawn
eb124a97

435 currently is properly synchronous, Reexec() is weird, because we

edca2e23 438 when done. That means clients don't get a successful method reply,

649 in an ~30 minutes window. It does not adjust larger differences. Find a way
