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
2d19f95c 14Fedora 19:
3679d112 15
a4cc3e5c
LP
16* external: maybe it is time to patch procps so that "ps" links to
17 libsystemd-logind to print a pretty service name, seat name, session
18 name in its output. Currently it only shows cgroup membership, but
0028da22 19 that's sometimes kinda hard to parse for a human.
a4cc3e5c 20
7e2c2bcf 21* cgroup attrs:
f0c15f28 22 - update dbus interface docs in wiki
7b4da18c 23
81d112a8 24* localed:
81d112a8
LP
25 - localectl: support new converted x11→console keymaps
26
eb124a97 27Features:
3df82d5a 28
e8a7a315
LP
29* nss-myhostname: investigate whether there's any point in also
30 resolving localhost6, localhost.localdomain, ip6-localhost or any of
31 the other names often seen in /etc/hosts
32
ef3b5246
LP
33* see if we can fix https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=63672
34 without dropping the location cache entirely.
35
461bd8e4
LP
36* dbus: when a unit failed to load (i.e. is in UNIT_ERROR state), we
37 should be able to safely try another attempt when the bus call LoadUnit() is invoked.
38
248f0775
LP
39* for instanced unit drop-ins we should look in foo@bar.service.d/ as well as foo@.service.d/
40
ab8e074c
LP
41* if pam_systemd is invoked by su from a process that is outside of a
42 any session we should probably just become a NOP, since that's
43 usually not a real user session but just some system code that just
44 needs setuid().
45
46* add a pam module that passes the hdd passphrase into the PAM stack and then expires it, for usage by gdm auto-login.
47
48* add a pam module that on password changes updates any LUKS slot where the password matches
49
b454b112
LP
50* maybe add a generator that looks for "systemd.run=" on the kernel cmdline for container usercases...
51
52* timedatctl, localectl: possibly make some commands work without the daemon, for chroot situations...
53
4a449ed7 54* logind: add Suspend() bus calls which take timestamps to fix double suspend issues when somebody hits suspend and closes laptop quickly.
75512303 55
4a449ed7
LP
56* we need dynamic units
57
4a449ed7
LP
58* add s.th. like "systemctl set-log-level debug"
59
4ff49cb6
LP
60* cgtop: make cgtop useful in a container
61
62* make sure cg_pid_get_path() works properly for co-mounted controllers
63
64* nspawn: ensure syntax of --uuid= argument is correct
65
a53824ea
LP
66* explicitly disallow changing the cgroup path of units in the
67 name=systemd hierarchy, unless it is outside of /system
68
fff87a35
ZJS
69* test/:
70 - add 'set -e' to scripts in test/
71 - make stuff in test/ work with separate output dir
72 - remove all the duplicated code in test/
b8b4d3dd
LP
73
74* suppress log output on shutdown when "quiet" is used
75
76* systemctl delete x.snapshot leaves no trace in logs (at least at default level).
77
3df82d5a
LP
78* make the coredump collector tool move itself into the user's cgroup
79 so that the coredump is properly written to the user's own journal
80 file.
81
5666ea6f
KS
82* move /usr/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/modules.devname parsing from udevd to
83 kmod static-nodes
84 call kmod as an early service, and drop CAP_MKNOD from udevd.service
a9602630 85
b6b7d433
LP
86* systemd-delta needs to be made aware of *.d/*.conf drop-in files for
87 units.
88
b5c03638
LP
89* seems that when we follow symlinks to units we prefer the symlink
90 destination path over /etc and /usr. We shouldn't do that. Instead
91 /etc should always override /run+/usr and also any symlink
92 destination.
93
752beb0c
LP
94* remove duplicate default deps logic from fstab-generator vs. mount.c
95
eece8c6f
LP
96* when isolating, try to figure out a way how we implicitly can order
97 all units we stop before the isolating unit...
98
d325d9bc
KS
99* teach udev + logind's uaccess to somehow handle the "dead" device nodes from:
100 /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/modules.devname
101 and apply ACLs to them if they have TAG=="uaccess" in udev rules.
3679d112 102
356ce991
LP
103* add ConditionArchitecture= or so
104
105* teach ConditionKernelCommandLine= globs or regexes (in order to match foobar={no,0,off})
106
bfa00bc6
LP
107* we should log capabilities too
108
3b953d68
JT
109* Support SO_REUSEPORT with socket activation:
110 - Let systemd maintain a pool of servers.
111 - Use for seamless upgrades, by running the new server before stopping the
112 old.
113
09f727ee
LP
114* after all byte-wise realloc() is slow, even on glibc, so i guess we
115 need manual exponential loops after all
116
795607b2
LP
117* BootLoaderSpec: drop allowing ext234 for $BOOT. Clarify that the
118 kernel has to be in $BOOT. Clarify that the boot loader should be
119 installed to the ESP. Define a way how an installer can figure out
120 whether a BLS compliant boot loader is installed.
121
795607b2
LP
122* man: remove .include documentation, and instead push people to use .d/*.conf
123
0be8342c
LP
124* think about requeuing jobs when daemon-reload is issued? usecase:
125 the initrd issues a reload after fstab from the host is accessible
126 and we might want to requeue the mounts local-fs acquired through
127 that automatically.
128
6bc80e94
LP
129* neither pkexec nor sudo initialize environ[] from the PAM environment?
130
487060c2
LP
131* rework specifier logic so that we can distuingish OOM errors from other errors
132
e5ec62c5 133* systemd-inhibit: make taking delay locks useful: support sending SIGINT or SIGTERM on PrepareForSleep()
54c31a79 134
826872b6
LP
135* journal-or-kmsg is currently broken? See reverted commit 4a01181e460686d8b4a543b1dfa7f77c9e3c5ab8.
136
54c31a79 137* remove any syslog support from log.c -- we probably can't do this before split-off udev is gone for good
826872b6 138
e5ec62c5 139* fedora: connect the timer units of a service to the service via Also= in [Install]
3679d112
LP
140
141* fedora: F20: go timer units all the way, leave cron.daily for cron
142
143* add a tool that lists active timer units plus their next elapstion and the time the units ran last
144
145* man: document the very specific env the shutdown drop-in tools live in
146
147* shutdown logging: store to EFI var, and store to USB stick?
148
149* man: extend runlevel(8) to mention that runlevels suck, and are dead. Maybe add runlevel(7) with a note about that too
150
151* systemctl: maybe add "systemctl add-wants" or so...
152
153* man: add a link to socket activation blog from systemd.socket(5)
154
3679d112
LP
155* man: add more examples to man pages
156
157* man: maybe sort directives in man pages, and take sections from --help and apply them to man too
158
3679d112
LP
159* add "# export SYSTEMD_PAGER=" to bash login
160
161* /usr/bin/service should actually show the new command line
162
163* 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=
164
165* write UI tool that pops up emergency messages from the journal as notification
166
167* think about window-manager-run-as-user-service problem: exit 0 → activate shutdown.target; exit != 0 → restart service
168
169* msgcatalog determine default language of entries from the catalog
170 file name. i.e. foobar.de_DE.catalog would set the default entry
171 name for the entries to de_DE if they aren't explicitly suffixed
172 individually.
173
cbb77121
LP
174* use "log level" rather than "log priority" everywhere
175
dd359de8
LP
176* ensure sd_journal_seek_monotonic actually works properly.
177
d01a73b6
LP
178* timedate: have global on/off switches for auto-time (NTP), and auto-timezone that connman can subscribe to.
179
990ffbe5 180* Honour "-" prefix for InaccessibleDirectories= and ReadOnlyDirectories= to
f8aeee1f
LP
181 suppress errors of the specified path doesn't exist
182
183* dev-setup.c: when running in a container, create a tiny stub udev
184 database with the systemd tag set for all network interfaces found,
185 so that libudev reports them as present, and systemd's .device units
186 will be activated.
187
356ce991 188* merge unit_kill_common() and unit_kill_context()
490b7e47 189
81d112a8 190* introduce ExecCondition= in services
490b7e47 191
b44be3ec
LP
192* EFI:
193 - fsck hookup for the ESP mount is missing
194 - write man page for efi boot generator
b44be3ec
LP
195 - honor language efi variables for default language selection (if there are any?)
196 - honor timezone efi variables for default timezone selection (if there are any?)
197 - introduce bootctl (backed by systemd-bootd) to control temporary and persistent default boot goal plus efi variables
e4181484 198
c0fe5db5 199* maybe do not install getty@tty1.service symlink in /etc but in /usr?
e9fd44b7 200
b44be3ec 201* re-enable "make check" for gtk-doc (broken for unknown reason)
e9fd44b7 202
b44be3ec
LP
203* fstab: add new mount option x-systemd-after=/foobar/waldo to allow manual dependencies to other mount points
204 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=812826
3040728b 205
b44be3ec 206* print a nicer explanation if people use variable/specifier expansion in ExecStart= for the first word
8ed20651 207
b44be3ec 208* mount: turn dependency information from /proc/self/mountinfo into dependency information between systemd units.
e6c6e7af 209
b44be3ec
LP
210* logind:
211 - logind: optionally, ignore idle-hint logic for autosuspend, block suspend as long as a session is around
212 - When we update the kernel all kind of hibernation should be prohibited until shutdown/reboot
213 - logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
214 - Add pretty name for seats in logind
215 - logind: allow showing logout dialog from system?
216 - logind: spawn user@..service on login
217 - logind: non-local X11 server handling
218 - logind: add equivalent to sd_pid_get_owner_uid() to the D-Bus API
b44be3ec 219 - pam: when leaving a session explicitly exclude the ReleaseSession() caller process from the killing spree
eb124a97 220 - logind: GetSessionByPID() should accept 0 as PID value
e5ec62c5 221 - we should probably handle SIGTERM/SIGINT to not leave dot files around, just in case
e673ad04 222
b44be3ec 223* exec: when deinitializating a tty device fix the perms and group, too, not only when initializing. Set access mode/gid to 0620/tty.
e673ad04 224
b44be3ec 225* DeviceAllow/DeviceDeny: disallow everything by default, but whitelist /dev/zero, /dev/null and friends
e673ad04 226
b44be3ec 227* service: watchdog logic: for testing purposes allow ping, but do not require pong
e673ad04 228
b44be3ec 229* journal:
b87b8b2b
KS
230 - do not use magic msync() in src/journal/journal-file.c, just call fsync()
231 <alxchk> poettering: looks like msync just calls vfs_fsync
232 http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/mm/msync.c#n18
c06bf414 233 - import and delete pstore filesystem content at startup
b44be3ec
LP
234 - journald: also get thread ID from client, plus thread name
235 - journal: when waiting for journal additions in the client always sleep at least 1s or so, in order to minimize wakeups
236 - add API to close/reopen/get fd for journal client fd in libsystemd-journal.
237 - fallback to /dev/log based logging in libsystemd-journal, if we can't log natively?
238 - declare the local journal protocol stable in the wiki interface chart
239 - journal: reuse XZ context
240 - sd-journal: speed up sd_journal_get_data() with transparent hash table in bg
241 - journald: when dropping msgs due to ratelimit make sure to write
242 "dropped %u messages" not only when we are about to print the next
243 message that works, but alraedy after a short tiemout
244 - check if we can make journalctl by default use --follow mode inside of less if called without args?
245 - maybe add API to send pairs of iovecs via sd_journal_send
246 - journal: when writing journal auto-rotate if time jumps backwards
247 - gatewayd: should run under its own UID
f47ec8eb 248 - journal: add a setgid "systemd-journal" utility to invoke from libsystemd-journal, which passes fds via STDOUT and does PK access
b44be3ec
LP
249 - journactl: support negative filtering, i.e. FOOBAR!="waldo",
250 and !FOOBAR for events without FOOBAR.
251 - journal: when rotating, copy over old acls/access mode
b44be3ec 252 - journal: send out marker messages every now and then, and immediately sync with fdatasync() afterwards, in order to have hourly guaranteed syncs.
b44be3ec
LP
253 - 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.
254 - journal: find a way to allow dropping history early, based on priority, other rules
255 - journal: When used on NFS, check payload hashes
256 - journal: When used on NFS make sure wake up sd_journal_wait() every 2s, to handle missing inotify
b44be3ec
LP
257 - Introduce journalctl -b <nr> to show journal messages of a previous boot
258 - journald: check whether it is OK if the client can still modify delivered journal entries
f47ec8eb 259 - journal live copy, based on libneon (client) and libmicrohttpd (server)
b44be3ec
LP
260 - journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
261 - refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
262 - journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
263 - journal: deal nicely with byte-by-byte copied files, especially regards header
264 - journalctl: show multiline log messages sanely, expand tabs, and show all valid utf8 messages
265 - journal: store euid in journal if it differs from uid
266 - journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the components would fit
2e4015f3 267 - 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
268 - Replace utmp, wtmp, btmp, and lastlog completely with journal
269 - Port upower to use the journal for historical power information used in future calculations
b44be3ec
LP
270
271* document:
272 - document unit_name_mangle()
273 - document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fileds in
274 [Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
275 - man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
276 - Document word splitting syntax for ExecStart= and friends
277 - document that units from /etc override those from /usr and /run
278 - document the exit codes when services fail before they are exec()ed
b44be3ec 279 - document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
eb124a97 280 - document in wiki how to map ical recurrence events to systemd timer unit calendar specifications
b44be3ec
LP
281
282* systemctl:
283 - systemctl list-jobs - show dependencies
284 - add systemctl switch to dump transaction without executing it
285 - Add a verbose mode to "systemctl start" and friends that explains what is being done or not done
286 - "systemctl disable" on a static unit prints no message and does
287 nothing. "systemctl enable" does nothing, and gives a bad message
288 about it. Should fix both to print nice actionable messages.
289 - print nice message from systemctl --failed if there are no entries shown, and hook that into ExecStartPre of rescue.service/emergency.service
290 - add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
291 - systemctl enable: improve the success messages (i.e. more human readable, less shell-like)
292 - systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into doesn't exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
293 - systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
294 - support "systemctl stop foobar@.service" to stop all units matching a certain template
295 - Something is wrong with symlink handling of "autovt@.service" in "systemctl list-unit-files"
7ba97195
ZJS
296 - add configuration/switches to use
297 freeze (http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git) and
298 standby (https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=57793) as suspend modes
8b04b925 299
e673ad04
LP
300* introduce ntp.service (or suchlike) as symlink that is used to arbitrate between various NTP implementations
301
b44be3ec
LP
302* deal with sendmail/postfix exclusivity
303
304* timer units:
305 - configurable jitter for timer events
306 - timer events with system resume
307 - timer units should get the ability to trigger when:
308 o CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (TFD_TIMER_CANCEL_ON_SET)
309 o DST changes
eb124a97 310 - Support 2012-02~4 as syntax for specifying the fourth to last day of the month.
d2e83c23
KS
311
312* update the kernel's TZ (sys_tz) when DST changes
313
314* sync down the system time to the RTC when:
f6113d42
KS
315 - CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (the user explicitely requested a time set)
316 - DST/timezone changes && ntp is active && RTC-in-localtime (never do it without ntp)
d2e83c23 317 This takes care of syncing ntpdate updates to the RTC, and DST updates for localtime
7a43e910 318 mode, it will never touch the RTC if the no reliable time source is active or the
d2e83c23 319 user did not request anything like it.
c55b1b59 320
6c1703cc
KS
321* hwdb:
322 - implement conditional properties (dmi matches)
323 - hwdb --filter=ID_DRIVE_*
08f95888 324
59704f3e
LP
325* if booted in "quiet" mode, and an error happens, turn on status
326 output again, so that the emergency mode isn't totally
327 surprising. Also, terminate plymouth.
9ec82de1 328
e707c494
LP
329* libunwind support for coredump pattern hook, and includes this in
330 the message for coredumps. After all, libunwind is now capable to
331 unwind coredumps since a few weeks ago. This probably requires that
7f873283
LP
332 we have nice support for multi-line messages on display in
333 logs-show.c. Alternatively: use libelfutil, which seems to be the
334 better supported alternative.
e707c494 335
e707c494
LP
336* figure out relation of --all and --full in the various tools
337
a19554ed
LP
338* add libsystemd-password or so to query passwords during boot using the password agent logic
339
1cb88f2c
LP
340* 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().
341
342* fedup: add --unit to systemctl switch-root somehow
343* fedup: don't delete initrd on switch-root
344* fedup: generator
603cd8fe 345
b44be3ec 346* timedated:
b44be3ec 347 - timedated: refuse time changes when NTP is on
6d0274f1 348
a7a3f28b
LP
349* clean up date formatting and parsing so that all absolute/relative timestamps we format can also be parsed
350
9b27910b
LP
351* introduce generic AUGMENT_PID=, AUGMENT_DEVICE= fields
352
b44be3ec 353* on shutdown: move utmp, wall, audit logic all into PID 1 (or logind?), get rid of systemd-update-utmp-runlevel
08f95888 354
7d8197d1
KS
355* add "provisioning" instructions to setup an empty /etc + /var
356 - used to setup a new container from a shared /usr
357 - superset of tmpfiles model
358 - instructions shipped by packages and stored in /usr/lib/
359 - compose /etc/passwd and /etc/group, copy files
360 - able to create uid + gid used by packages, for file ownership
361
9ee58bdd
KS
362* make repeated alt-ctrl-del presses printing a dump, or even force a reboot without
363 waiting for the timeout
dcfc4b2e 364
71ef24d0
LP
365* high level net_prio setting in execution context
366
71ef24d0
LP
367* hostnamed: before returning information from /etc/machine-info.conf check the modification data and reread. Similar for localed, ...
368
1b89884b
LP
369* currently x-systemd.timeout is lost in the initrd, since crypttab is copied into dracut, but fstab isn't
370
1920e37e
LP
371* WorkingDirectory: support env var replacements like in ExecStart= so that people can use $HOME
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

428 currently is properly synchronous, Reexec() is weird, because we
429 can't delay the response properly until we are back, so instead of
430 being properly synchronous we just keep open the fd and close it
edca2e23 431 when done. That means clients don't get a successful method reply,
