2* systemctl status *.path shows all logs, not only the ones since the unit is
3 active

7* swap units that are activated by one name but shown in the kernel under another are semi-broken
8
f957632b
KS
9* Dangling symlinks of .automount unit files in .wants/ directories, set up
10 automount points even when the original .automount file did not exist
11 anymore. Only the .mount unit was still around.
12
9a366075
LP
13* make polkit checks async
14
a40593a0 15* 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
19* external: maybe it is time to patch procps so that "ps" links to
20 libsystemd-logind to print a pretty service name, seat name, session
21 name in its output. Currently it only shows cgroup membership, but
0028da22 22 that's sometimes kinda hard to parse for a human.
a4cc3e5c 23
7e2c2bcf 24* cgroup attrs:
f0c15f28 25 - update dbus interface docs in wiki
7b4da18c 26
81d112a8 27* localed:
81d112a8
LP
28 - localectl: support new converted x11→console keymaps
29
eb124a97 30Features:
154ff088 31
eb01ba5d
LP
32* libsystemd-bus:
33 - default policy (allow uid == 0 and our own uid)
34 - enforce alignment of pointers passed in
35 - negotiation for attach attributes
36 - verify that the PID doesn't change for existing busses
37 - when kdbus doesn't take our message without memfds, try again with memfds
38 - kdbus: generate correct bloom filter for matches
39 - implement translator service
40 - port systemd to new library
41 - implement busname unit type in systemd
42 - move to gvariant
43 - minimal locking around the memfd cache
44 - keep the connection fds around as long as the bus is open
eb01ba5d 45 - merge busctl into systemctl or so?
e4ee6e5c 46 - synthesize sd_bus_message objects from kernel messages
eb01ba5d 47
154ff088
LP
48* in the final killing spree, detect processes from the root directory, and
49 complain loudly if they have argv[0][0] == '@' set.
50 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=961044
51
32821c76
KS
52* read the kernel's console "debug" keyword like we read "quiet" and adjust:
53 systemd.log_level=debug and maybe systemd.log_target=kmsg
3df82d5a 54
7e853a9b
LP
55* add an option to nspawn that uses seccomp to make socket(AF_NETLINK,
56 SOCK_RAW, NETLINK_AUDIT) fail the the appropriate error code that
57 makes the audit userspace to think auditing is not available in the
58 kernel.
59
d686f034
LP
60* Introduce a way how we can kill the main process of a service with KillSignal, but all processes with SIGKILL later on
61 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=952634
62
19aa7c4f
LP
63* maybe add a warning to the unit file parses whern the acces mode of unit files is non-sensical.
64
aa96c6cb 65* investigate endianess issues of UUID vs. GUID
e8a7a315 66
ef3b5246
LP
67* see if we can fix https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=63672
68 without dropping the location cache entirely.
69
461bd8e4
LP
70* dbus: when a unit failed to load (i.e. is in UNIT_ERROR state), we
71 should be able to safely try another attempt when the bus call LoadUnit() is invoked.
72
ab8e074c
LP
73* if pam_systemd is invoked by su from a process that is outside of a
74 any session we should probably just become a NOP, since that's
75 usually not a real user session but just some system code that just
76 needs setuid().
77
78* add a pam module that passes the hdd passphrase into the PAM stack and then expires it, for usage by gdm auto-login.
79
80* add a pam module that on password changes updates any LUKS slot where the password matches
81
b454b112
LP
82* maybe add a generator that looks for "systemd.run=" on the kernel cmdline for container usercases...
83
84* timedatctl, localectl: possibly make some commands work without the daemon, for chroot situations...
85
4a449ed7 86* logind: add Suspend() bus calls which take timestamps to fix double suspend issues when somebody hits suspend and closes laptop quickly.
75512303 87
4a449ed7
LP
88* we need dynamic units
89
4a449ed7
LP
90* add s.th. like "systemctl set-log-level debug"
91
4ff49cb6
LP
92* cgtop: make cgtop useful in a container
93
fff87a35
ZJS
94* test/:
95 - add 'set -e' to scripts in test/
96 - make stuff in test/ work with separate output dir
97 - remove all the duplicated code in test/
b8b4d3dd
LP
98
99* suppress log output on shutdown when "quiet" is used
100
101* systemctl delete x.snapshot leaves no trace in logs (at least at default level).
102
3df82d5a
LP
103* make the coredump collector tool move itself into the user's cgroup
104 so that the coredump is properly written to the user's own journal
105 file.
106
5666ea6f
KS
107* move /usr/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/modules.devname parsing from udevd to
108 kmod static-nodes
109 call kmod as an early service, and drop CAP_MKNOD from udevd.service
a9602630 110
b5c03638
LP
111* seems that when we follow symlinks to units we prefer the symlink
112 destination path over /etc and /usr. We shouldn't do that. Instead
113 /etc should always override /run+/usr and also any symlink
114 destination.
115
752beb0c
LP
116* remove duplicate default deps logic from fstab-generator vs. mount.c
117
eece8c6f
LP
118* when isolating, try to figure out a way how we implicitly can order
119 all units we stop before the isolating unit...
120
d325d9bc
KS
121* teach udev + logind's uaccess to somehow handle the "dead" device nodes from:
122 /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/modules.devname
123 and apply ACLs to them if they have TAG=="uaccess" in udev rules.
3679d112 124
356ce991
LP
125* add ConditionArchitecture= or so
126
127* teach ConditionKernelCommandLine= globs or regexes (in order to match foobar={no,0,off})
128
bfa00bc6
LP
129* we should log capabilities too
130
3b953d68
JT
131* Support SO_REUSEPORT with socket activation:
132 - Let systemd maintain a pool of servers.
133 - Use for seamless upgrades, by running the new server before stopping the
134 old.
135
09f727ee
LP
136* after all byte-wise realloc() is slow, even on glibc, so i guess we
137 need manual exponential loops after all
138
795607b2
LP
139* BootLoaderSpec: drop allowing ext234 for $BOOT. Clarify that the
140 kernel has to be in $BOOT. Clarify that the boot loader should be
141 installed to the ESP. Define a way how an installer can figure out
142 whether a BLS compliant boot loader is installed.
143
795607b2
LP
144* man: remove .include documentation, and instead push people to use .d/*.conf
145
0be8342c
LP
146* think about requeuing jobs when daemon-reload is issued? usecase:
147 the initrd issues a reload after fstab from the host is accessible
148 and we might want to requeue the mounts local-fs acquired through
149 that automatically.
150
487060c2
LP
151* rework specifier logic so that we can distuingish OOM errors from other errors
152
e5ec62c5 153* systemd-inhibit: make taking delay locks useful: support sending SIGINT or SIGTERM on PrepareForSleep()
54c31a79 154
826872b6
LP
155* journal-or-kmsg is currently broken? See reverted commit 4a01181e460686d8b4a543b1dfa7f77c9e3c5ab8.
156
54c31a79 157* remove any syslog support from log.c -- we probably can't do this before split-off udev is gone for good
826872b6 158
8973790e 159* documentation: recommend to connect the timer units of a service to the service via Also= in [Install]
3679d112
LP
160
161* add a tool that lists active timer units plus their next elapstion and the time the units ran last
162
163* man: document the very specific env the shutdown drop-in tools live in
164
165* shutdown logging: store to EFI var, and store to USB stick?
166
167* man: extend runlevel(8) to mention that runlevels suck, and are dead. Maybe add runlevel(7) with a note about that too
168
169* systemctl: maybe add "systemctl add-wants" or so...
170
3679d112
LP
171* man: add more examples to man pages
172
173* man: maybe sort directives in man pages, and take sections from --help and apply them to man too
174
3679d112
LP
175* write UI tool that pops up emergency messages from the journal as notification
176
177* think about window-manager-run-as-user-service problem: exit 0 → activate shutdown.target; exit != 0 → restart service
178
179* msgcatalog determine default language of entries from the catalog
180 file name. i.e. foobar.de_DE.catalog would set the default entry
181 name for the entries to de_DE if they aren't explicitly suffixed
182 individually.
183
cbb77121
LP
184* use "log level" rather than "log priority" everywhere
185
d01a73b6
LP
186* timedate: have global on/off switches for auto-time (NTP), and auto-timezone that connman can subscribe to.
187
990ffbe5 188* Honour "-" prefix for InaccessibleDirectories= and ReadOnlyDirectories= to
f8aeee1f
LP
189 suppress errors of the specified path doesn't exist
190
191* dev-setup.c: when running in a container, create a tiny stub udev
192 database with the systemd tag set for all network interfaces found,
193 so that libudev reports them as present, and systemd's .device units
194 will be activated.
195
356ce991 196* merge unit_kill_common() and unit_kill_context()
490b7e47 197
81d112a8 198* introduce ExecCondition= in services
490b7e47 199
b44be3ec
LP
200* EFI:
201 - fsck hookup for the ESP mount is missing
202 - write man page for efi boot generator
b44be3ec
LP
203 - honor language efi variables for default language selection (if there are any?)
204 - honor timezone efi variables for default timezone selection (if there are any?)
205 - introduce bootctl (backed by systemd-bootd) to control temporary and persistent default boot goal plus efi variables
e4181484 206
c0fe5db5 207* maybe do not install getty@tty1.service symlink in /etc but in /usr?
e9fd44b7 208
b44be3ec 209* re-enable "make check" for gtk-doc (broken for unknown reason)
e9fd44b7 210
b44be3ec
LP
211* fstab: add new mount option x-systemd-after=/foobar/waldo to allow manual dependencies to other mount points
212 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=812826
3040728b 213
b44be3ec 214* print a nicer explanation if people use variable/specifier expansion in ExecStart= for the first word
8ed20651 215
b44be3ec 216* mount: turn dependency information from /proc/self/mountinfo into dependency information between systemd units.
e6c6e7af 217
b44be3ec
LP
218* logind:
219 - logind: optionally, ignore idle-hint logic for autosuspend, block suspend as long as a session is around
220 - When we update the kernel all kind of hibernation should be prohibited until shutdown/reboot
221 - logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
222 - Add pretty name for seats in logind
223 - logind: allow showing logout dialog from system?
224 - logind: spawn user@..service on login
225 - logind: non-local X11 server handling
226 - logind: add equivalent to sd_pid_get_owner_uid() to the D-Bus API
b44be3ec 227 - pam: when leaving a session explicitly exclude the ReleaseSession() caller process from the killing spree
eb124a97 228 - logind: GetSessionByPID() should accept 0 as PID value
e5ec62c5 229 - we should probably handle SIGTERM/SIGINT to not leave dot files around, just in case
e673ad04 230
b44be3ec 231* exec: when deinitializating a tty device fix the perms and group, too, not only when initializing. Set access mode/gid to 0620/tty.
e673ad04 232
b44be3ec 233* DeviceAllow/DeviceDeny: disallow everything by default, but whitelist /dev/zero, /dev/null and friends
e673ad04 234
b44be3ec 235* service: watchdog logic: for testing purposes allow ping, but do not require pong
e673ad04 236
b44be3ec 237* journal:
b87b8b2b
KS
238 - do not use magic msync() in src/journal/journal-file.c, just call fsync()
239 <alxchk> poettering: looks like msync just calls vfs_fsync
240 http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/mm/msync.c#n18
c06bf414 241 - import and delete pstore filesystem content at startup
b44be3ec
LP
242 - journald: also get thread ID from client, plus thread name
243 - journal: when waiting for journal additions in the client always sleep at least 1s or so, in order to minimize wakeups
244 - add API to close/reopen/get fd for journal client fd in libsystemd-journal.
245 - fallback to /dev/log based logging in libsystemd-journal, if we can't log natively?
246 - declare the local journal protocol stable in the wiki interface chart
247 - journal: reuse XZ context
248 - sd-journal: speed up sd_journal_get_data() with transparent hash table in bg
249 - journald: when dropping msgs due to ratelimit make sure to write
250 "dropped %u messages" not only when we are about to print the next
251 message that works, but alraedy after a short tiemout
252 - check if we can make journalctl by default use --follow mode inside of less if called without args?
253 - maybe add API to send pairs of iovecs via sd_journal_send
254 - journal: when writing journal auto-rotate if time jumps backwards
f47ec8eb 255 - journal: add a setgid "systemd-journal" utility to invoke from libsystemd-journal, which passes fds via STDOUT and does PK access
b44be3ec
LP
256 - journactl: support negative filtering, i.e. FOOBAR!="waldo",
257 and !FOOBAR for events without FOOBAR.
258 - journal: when rotating, copy over old acls/access mode
b44be3ec 259 - journal: send out marker messages every now and then, and immediately sync with fdatasync() afterwards, in order to have hourly guaranteed syncs.
b44be3ec
LP
260 - 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.
261 - journal: find a way to allow dropping history early, based on priority, other rules
262 - journal: When used on NFS, check payload hashes
b44be3ec
LP
263 - Introduce journalctl -b <nr> to show journal messages of a previous boot
264 - journald: check whether it is OK if the client can still modify delivered journal entries
f47ec8eb 265 - journal live copy, based on libneon (client) and libmicrohttpd (server)
b44be3ec
LP
266 - journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
267 - refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
268 - journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
269 - journal: deal nicely with byte-by-byte copied files, especially regards header
270 - journalctl: show multiline log messages sanely, expand tabs, and show all valid utf8 messages
271 - journal: store euid in journal if it differs from uid
272 - journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the components would fit
601d9d6f
JT
273 - Replace utmp, wtmp, btmp, and lastlog completely with journal
274 - Port upower to use the journal for historical power information used in future calculations
b44be3ec
LP
275
276* document:
277 - document unit_name_mangle()
278 - document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fileds in
279 [Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
280 - man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
281 - Document word splitting syntax for ExecStart= and friends
282 - document that units from /etc override those from /usr and /run
283 - document the exit codes when services fail before they are exec()ed
b44be3ec 284 - document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
eb124a97 285 - document in wiki how to map ical recurrence events to systemd timer unit calendar specifications
b44be3ec
LP
286
287* systemctl:
288 - systemctl list-jobs - show dependencies
289 - add systemctl switch to dump transaction without executing it
290 - Add a verbose mode to "systemctl start" and friends that explains what is being done or not done
291 - "systemctl disable" on a static unit prints no message and does
292 nothing. "systemctl enable" does nothing, and gives a bad message
293 about it. Should fix both to print nice actionable messages.
294 - print nice message from systemctl --failed if there are no entries shown, and hook that into ExecStartPre of rescue.service/emergency.service
295 - add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
296 - systemctl enable: improve the success messages (i.e. more human readable, less shell-like)
297 - systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into doesn't exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
298 - systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
299 - support "systemctl stop foobar@.service" to stop all units matching a certain template
300 - Something is wrong with symlink handling of "autovt@.service" in "systemctl list-unit-files"
8b04b925 301
e673ad04
LP
302* introduce ntp.service (or suchlike) as symlink that is used to arbitrate between various NTP implementations
303
b44be3ec
LP
304* deal with sendmail/postfix exclusivity
305
306* timer units:
307 - configurable jitter for timer events
308 - timer events with system resume
309 - timer units should get the ability to trigger when:
310 o CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (TFD_TIMER_CANCEL_ON_SET)
311 o DST changes
eb124a97 312 - Support 2012-02~4 as syntax for specifying the fourth to last day of the month.
d2e83c23
KS
313
314* update the kernel's TZ (sys_tz) when DST changes
315
316* sync down the system time to the RTC when:
f6113d42
KS
317 - CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (the user explicitely requested a time set)
318 - DST/timezone changes && ntp is active && RTC-in-localtime (never do it without ntp)
d2e83c23 319 This takes care of syncing ntpdate updates to the RTC, and DST updates for localtime
7a43e910 320 mode, it will never touch the RTC if the no reliable time source is active or the
d2e83c23 321 user did not request anything like it.
c55b1b59 322
6c1703cc
KS
323* hwdb:
324 - implement conditional properties (dmi matches)
325 - hwdb --filter=ID_DRIVE_*
08f95888 326
59704f3e
LP
327* if booted in "quiet" mode, and an error happens, turn on status
328 output again, so that the emergency mode isn't totally
329 surprising. Also, terminate plymouth.
9ec82de1 330
e707c494
LP
331* libunwind support for coredump pattern hook, and includes this in
332 the message for coredumps. After all, libunwind is now capable to
333 unwind coredumps since a few weeks ago. This probably requires that
7f873283
LP
334 we have nice support for multi-line messages on display in
335 logs-show.c. Alternatively: use libelfutil, which seems to be the
336 better supported alternative.
e707c494 337
e707c494
LP
338* figure out relation of --all and --full in the various tools
339
a19554ed
LP
340* add libsystemd-password or so to query passwords during boot using the password agent logic
341
1cb88f2c
LP
342* 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().
343
344* fedup: add --unit to systemctl switch-root somehow
345* fedup: don't delete initrd on switch-root
346* fedup: generator
603cd8fe 347
b44be3ec 348* timedated:
b44be3ec 349 - timedated: refuse time changes when NTP is on
6d0274f1 350
a7a3f28b
LP
351* clean up date formatting and parsing so that all absolute/relative timestamps we format can also be parsed
352
9b27910b
LP
353* introduce generic AUGMENT_PID=, AUGMENT_DEVICE= fields
354
b44be3ec 355* on shutdown: move utmp, wall, audit logic all into PID 1 (or logind?), get rid of systemd-update-utmp-runlevel
08f95888 356
7d8197d1
KS
357* add "provisioning" instructions to setup an empty /etc + /var
358 - used to setup a new container from a shared /usr
359 - superset of tmpfiles model
360 - instructions shipped by packages and stored in /usr/lib/
361 - compose /etc/passwd and /etc/group, copy files
362 - able to create uid + gid used by packages, for file ownership
363
9ee58bdd
KS
364* make repeated alt-ctrl-del presses printing a dump, or even force a reboot without
365 waiting for the timeout
dcfc4b2e 366
71ef24d0
LP
367* high level net_prio setting in execution context
368
71ef24d0
LP
369* hostnamed: before returning information from /etc/machine-info.conf check the modification data and reread. Similar for localed, ...
370
1b89884b
LP
371* currently x-systemd.timeout is lost in the initrd, since crypttab is copied into dracut, but fstab isn't
372
15abdb9a 373* refuse boot if /etc/machine-id is not useful (or set taint?)
1920e37e 374
b44be3ec
LP
375* nspawn:
376 - nspawn: consider changing users for -u with su, so that NSS resolving works correctly
377 - nspawn: implement personality changes a la linux32(8)
378 - nspawn: --read-only is not applied recursively to submounts
379 - nspawn: make use of device cgroup controller by default
380 - bind mount read-only the cgroup tree higher than nspawn
eb124a97
LP
381 - nspawn: investigate whether we can support the same as LXC's
382 lxc.network.type=phys mode, and pass through entire network
383 interfaces to the container

LP
426* drop PID 1 reloading, only do reexecing (difficult: Reload()
427 currently is properly synchronous, Reexec() is weird, because we
428 can't delay the response properly until we are back, so instead of
429 being properly synchronous we just keep open the fd and close it
edca2e23 430 when done. That means clients don't get a successful method reply,

641 in an ~30 minutes window. It does not adjust larger differences. Find a way
642 to tell the kernel, to always do a full time sync when the RTC is in UTC and
643 we are in 11-minutes-mode. When we trust the system time to NTP we also want
