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.

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
55d32caf
LP
27* when installing fedora with yum --installroot /var/run is a directory, not a symlink
28
eb124a97 29Features:
154ff088 30
a016b922
LP
31* when a service changes state make reflect that in the
32 RUNNING/LISTENING states of its socket
33
34* slices:
35 - fix libsystemd-login to handle slices properly
36 - add option to pam_systemd to move login session into a slice
37 - add call to logind's dbus intrface to register a machine (also, calls for listing them)
38
39* when recursively showing the cgroup hierarchy, optionally also show
40 the hierarchies of child processes
41
1f263d4d
LP
42* document logic of auto/noauto and fail/nofail in fstab in systemd.mount or systemd-fstab-generator man page
43
44* we should properly escape hostnames we add into dbus server strings
45
46* something pulls in pcre as so dep into our daemons such as hostnamed.
47
4e09014d
LP
48* cgroup-agent: downgrade error messages
49
50* document systemd-journal-flush.service properly
51
52* chane systemd-journal-flush into a service that stays around during
53 boot, and causes the journal to be moved back to /run on shutdown,
54 so that we don't keep /var busy. This needs to happen synchronously,
55 hence doing this via signals is not going to work.
56
57* allow implementation of InaccessibleDirectories=/ plus
58 ReadOnlyDirectories=... for whitelisting files for a service.
59
d5a2b9a6
LP
60* libsystemd-journal:
61 - return ECHILD as soon as somebody tries to reuse a journal object across a fork()
62
eb01ba5d
LP
63* libsystemd-bus:
64 - default policy (allow uid == 0 and our own uid)
65 - enforce alignment of pointers passed in
eb01ba5d 66 - when kdbus doesn't take our message without memfds, try again with memfds
eb01ba5d
LP
67 - implement translator service
68 - port systemd to new library
69 - implement busname unit type in systemd
70 - move to gvariant
eb01ba5d 71 - merge busctl into systemctl or so?
e4ee6e5c 72 - synthesize sd_bus_message objects from kernel messages
c7819669 73 - properly implement name registry ioctls for kdbus
86312ab8
LP
74 - get rid of object hash table, use decision tree everyhwere instead?
75 - implement monitor logic
76 - object vtable logic
77 - longer term:
78 * priority queues
86312ab8 79 * priority inheritance
eb01ba5d 80
154ff088
LP
81* in the final killing spree, detect processes from the root directory, and
82 complain loudly if they have argv[0][0] == '@' set.
83 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=961044
84
7e853a9b
LP
85* add an option to nspawn that uses seccomp to make socket(AF_NETLINK,
86 SOCK_RAW, NETLINK_AUDIT) fail the the appropriate error code that
87 makes the audit userspace to think auditing is not available in the
88 kernel.
89
d686f034
LP
90* Introduce a way how we can kill the main process of a service with KillSignal, but all processes with SIGKILL later on
91 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=952634
92
19aa7c4f
LP
93* maybe add a warning to the unit file parses whern the acces mode of unit files is non-sensical.
94
aa96c6cb 95* investigate endianess issues of UUID vs. GUID
e8a7a315 96
461bd8e4
LP
97* dbus: when a unit failed to load (i.e. is in UNIT_ERROR state), we
98 should be able to safely try another attempt when the bus call LoadUnit() is invoked.
99
ab8e074c
LP
100* if pam_systemd is invoked by su from a process that is outside of a
101 any session we should probably just become a NOP, since that's
102 usually not a real user session but just some system code that just
103 needs setuid().
104
105* add a pam module that passes the hdd passphrase into the PAM stack and then expires it, for usage by gdm auto-login.
106
107* add a pam module that on password changes updates any LUKS slot where the password matches
108
b454b112
LP
109* maybe add a generator that looks for "systemd.run=" on the kernel cmdline for container usercases...
110
111* timedatctl, localectl: possibly make some commands work without the daemon, for chroot situations...
112
4a449ed7 113* logind: add Suspend() bus calls which take timestamps to fix double suspend issues when somebody hits suspend and closes laptop quickly.
75512303 114
4a449ed7
LP
115* we need dynamic units
116
4ff49cb6
LP
117* cgtop: make cgtop useful in a container
118
fff87a35
ZJS
119* test/:
120 - add 'set -e' to scripts in test/
121 - make stuff in test/ work with separate output dir
122 - remove all the duplicated code in test/
b8b4d3dd
LP
123
124* suppress log output on shutdown when "quiet" is used
125
126* systemctl delete x.snapshot leaves no trace in logs (at least at default level).
127
3df82d5a
LP
128* make the coredump collector tool move itself into the user's cgroup
129 so that the coredump is properly written to the user's own journal
130 file.
131
5666ea6f
KS
132* move /usr/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/modules.devname parsing from udevd to
133 kmod static-nodes
134 call kmod as an early service, and drop CAP_MKNOD from udevd.service
a9602630 135
b5c03638
LP
136* seems that when we follow symlinks to units we prefer the symlink
137 destination path over /etc and /usr. We shouldn't do that. Instead
138 /etc should always override /run+/usr and also any symlink
139 destination.
140
752beb0c
LP
141* remove duplicate default deps logic from fstab-generator vs. mount.c
142
eece8c6f
LP
143* when isolating, try to figure out a way how we implicitly can order
144 all units we stop before the isolating unit...
145
d325d9bc
KS
146* teach udev + logind's uaccess to somehow handle the "dead" device nodes from:
147 /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/modules.devname
148 and apply ACLs to them if they have TAG=="uaccess" in udev rules.
3679d112 149
356ce991
LP
150* add ConditionArchitecture= or so
151
152* teach ConditionKernelCommandLine= globs or regexes (in order to match foobar={no,0,off})
153
bfa00bc6
LP
154* we should log capabilities too
155
3b953d68
JT
156* Support SO_REUSEPORT with socket activation:
157 - Let systemd maintain a pool of servers.
158 - Use for seamless upgrades, by running the new server before stopping the
159 old.
160
09f727ee
LP
161* after all byte-wise realloc() is slow, even on glibc, so i guess we
162 need manual exponential loops after all
163
795607b2
LP
164* BootLoaderSpec: drop allowing ext234 for $BOOT. Clarify that the
165 kernel has to be in $BOOT. Clarify that the boot loader should be
166 installed to the ESP. Define a way how an installer can figure out
167 whether a BLS compliant boot loader is installed.
168
795607b2
LP
169* man: remove .include documentation, and instead push people to use .d/*.conf
170
0be8342c
LP
171* think about requeuing jobs when daemon-reload is issued? usecase:
172 the initrd issues a reload after fstab from the host is accessible
173 and we might want to requeue the mounts local-fs acquired through
174 that automatically.
175
487060c2
LP
176* rework specifier logic so that we can distuingish OOM errors from other errors
177
e5ec62c5 178* systemd-inhibit: make taking delay locks useful: support sending SIGINT or SIGTERM on PrepareForSleep()
54c31a79 179
826872b6
LP
180* journal-or-kmsg is currently broken? See reverted commit 4a01181e460686d8b4a543b1dfa7f77c9e3c5ab8.
181
54c31a79 182* remove any syslog support from log.c -- we probably can't do this before split-off udev is gone for good
826872b6 183
8973790e 184* documentation: recommend to connect the timer units of a service to the service via Also= in [Install]
3679d112
LP
185
186* add a tool that lists active timer units plus their next elapstion and the time the units ran last
187
188* man: document the very specific env the shutdown drop-in tools live in
189
190* shutdown logging: store to EFI var, and store to USB stick?
191
192* man: extend runlevel(8) to mention that runlevels suck, and are dead. Maybe add runlevel(7) with a note about that too
193
194* systemctl: maybe add "systemctl add-wants" or so...
195
3679d112
LP
196* man: add more examples to man pages
197
198* man: maybe sort directives in man pages, and take sections from --help and apply them to man too
199
3679d112
LP
200* write UI tool that pops up emergency messages from the journal as notification
201
202* think about window-manager-run-as-user-service problem: exit 0 → activate shutdown.target; exit != 0 → restart service
203
204* msgcatalog determine default language of entries from the catalog
205 file name. i.e. foobar.de_DE.catalog would set the default entry
206 name for the entries to de_DE if they aren't explicitly suffixed
207 individually.
208
cbb77121
LP
209* use "log level" rather than "log priority" everywhere
210
d01a73b6
LP
211* timedate: have global on/off switches for auto-time (NTP), and auto-timezone that connman can subscribe to.
212
990ffbe5 213* Honour "-" prefix for InaccessibleDirectories= and ReadOnlyDirectories= to
f8aeee1f
LP
214 suppress errors of the specified path doesn't exist
215
216* dev-setup.c: when running in a container, create a tiny stub udev
217 database with the systemd tag set for all network interfaces found,
218 so that libudev reports them as present, and systemd's .device units
219 will be activated.
220
356ce991 221* merge unit_kill_common() and unit_kill_context()
490b7e47 222
81d112a8 223* introduce ExecCondition= in services
490b7e47 224
b44be3ec
LP
225* EFI:
226 - fsck hookup for the ESP mount is missing
227 - write man page for efi boot generator
b44be3ec
LP
228 - honor language efi variables for default language selection (if there are any?)
229 - honor timezone efi variables for default timezone selection (if there are any?)
230 - introduce bootctl (backed by systemd-bootd) to control temporary and persistent default boot goal plus efi variables
e4181484 231
c0fe5db5 232* maybe do not install getty@tty1.service symlink in /etc but in /usr?
e9fd44b7 233
b44be3ec 234* re-enable "make check" for gtk-doc (broken for unknown reason)
e9fd44b7 235
b44be3ec
LP
236* fstab: add new mount option x-systemd-after=/foobar/waldo to allow manual dependencies to other mount points
237 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=812826
3040728b 238
b44be3ec 239* print a nicer explanation if people use variable/specifier expansion in ExecStart= for the first word
8ed20651 240
b44be3ec 241* mount: turn dependency information from /proc/self/mountinfo into dependency information between systemd units.
e6c6e7af 242
b44be3ec
LP
243* logind:
244 - logind: optionally, ignore idle-hint logic for autosuspend, block suspend as long as a session is around
245 - When we update the kernel all kind of hibernation should be prohibited until shutdown/reboot
246 - logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
247 - Add pretty name for seats in logind
248 - logind: allow showing logout dialog from system?
249 - logind: spawn user@..service on login
250 - logind: non-local X11 server handling
251 - logind: add equivalent to sd_pid_get_owner_uid() to the D-Bus API
b44be3ec 252 - pam: when leaving a session explicitly exclude the ReleaseSession() caller process from the killing spree
eb124a97 253 - logind: GetSessionByPID() should accept 0 as PID value
e5ec62c5 254 - we should probably handle SIGTERM/SIGINT to not leave dot files around, just in case
e673ad04 255
b44be3ec 256* exec: when deinitializating a tty device fix the perms and group, too, not only when initializing. Set access mode/gid to 0620/tty.
e673ad04 257
b44be3ec 258* DeviceAllow/DeviceDeny: disallow everything by default, but whitelist /dev/zero, /dev/null and friends
e673ad04 259
b44be3ec 260* service: watchdog logic: for testing purposes allow ping, but do not require pong
e673ad04 261
b44be3ec 262* journal:
b87b8b2b
KS
263 - do not use magic msync() in src/journal/journal-file.c, just call fsync()
264 <alxchk> poettering: looks like msync just calls vfs_fsync
265 http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/mm/msync.c#n18
c06bf414 266 - import and delete pstore filesystem content at startup
b44be3ec
LP
267 - journald: also get thread ID from client, plus thread name
268 - journal: when waiting for journal additions in the client always sleep at least 1s or so, in order to minimize wakeups
269 - add API to close/reopen/get fd for journal client fd in libsystemd-journal.
270 - fallback to /dev/log based logging in libsystemd-journal, if we can't log natively?
271 - declare the local journal protocol stable in the wiki interface chart
272 - journal: reuse XZ context
273 - sd-journal: speed up sd_journal_get_data() with transparent hash table in bg
274 - journald: when dropping msgs due to ratelimit make sure to write
275 "dropped %u messages" not only when we are about to print the next
276 message that works, but alraedy after a short tiemout
277 - check if we can make journalctl by default use --follow mode inside of less if called without args?
278 - maybe add API to send pairs of iovecs via sd_journal_send
279 - journal: when writing journal auto-rotate if time jumps backwards
f47ec8eb 280 - journal: add a setgid "systemd-journal" utility to invoke from libsystemd-journal, which passes fds via STDOUT and does PK access
b44be3ec
LP
281 - journactl: support negative filtering, i.e. FOOBAR!="waldo",
282 and !FOOBAR for events without FOOBAR.
283 - journal: when rotating, copy over old acls/access mode
b44be3ec 284 - journal: send out marker messages every now and then, and immediately sync with fdatasync() afterwards, in order to have hourly guaranteed syncs.
b44be3ec
LP
285 - 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.
286 - journal: find a way to allow dropping history early, based on priority, other rules
287 - journal: When used on NFS, check payload hashes
b44be3ec
LP
288 - Introduce journalctl -b <nr> to show journal messages of a previous boot
289 - journald: check whether it is OK if the client can still modify delivered journal entries
f47ec8eb 290 - journal live copy, based on libneon (client) and libmicrohttpd (server)
b44be3ec
LP
291 - journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
292 - refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
293 - journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
294 - journal: deal nicely with byte-by-byte copied files, especially regards header
295 - journalctl: show multiline log messages sanely, expand tabs, and show all valid utf8 messages
296 - journal: store euid in journal if it differs from uid
297 - journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the components would fit
601d9d6f
JT
298 - Replace utmp, wtmp, btmp, and lastlog completely with journal
299 - Port upower to use the journal for historical power information used in future calculations
b44be3ec
LP
300
301* document:
302 - document unit_name_mangle()
303 - document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fileds in
304 [Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
305 - man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
306 - Document word splitting syntax for ExecStart= and friends
307 - document that units from /etc override those from /usr and /run
308 - document the exit codes when services fail before they are exec()ed
b44be3ec 309 - document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
eb124a97 310 - document in wiki how to map ical recurrence events to systemd timer unit calendar specifications
b44be3ec
LP
311
312* systemctl:
313 - systemctl list-jobs - show dependencies
314 - add systemctl switch to dump transaction without executing it
315 - Add a verbose mode to "systemctl start" and friends that explains what is being done or not done
316 - "systemctl disable" on a static unit prints no message and does
317 nothing. "systemctl enable" does nothing, and gives a bad message
318 about it. Should fix both to print nice actionable messages.
319 - print nice message from systemctl --failed if there are no entries shown, and hook that into ExecStartPre of rescue.service/emergency.service
320 - add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
321 - systemctl enable: improve the success messages (i.e. more human readable, less shell-like)
322 - systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into doesn't exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
323 - systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
324 - support "systemctl stop foobar@.service" to stop all units matching a certain template
325 - Something is wrong with symlink handling of "autovt@.service" in "systemctl list-unit-files"
8b04b925 326
e673ad04
LP
327* introduce ntp.service (or suchlike) as symlink that is used to arbitrate between various NTP implementations
328
b44be3ec
LP
329* deal with sendmail/postfix exclusivity
330
331* timer units:
332 - configurable jitter for timer events
333 - timer events with system resume
334 - timer units should get the ability to trigger when:
335 o CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (TFD_TIMER_CANCEL_ON_SET)
336 o DST changes
eb124a97 337 - Support 2012-02~4 as syntax for specifying the fourth to last day of the month.
d2e83c23
KS
338
339* update the kernel's TZ (sys_tz) when DST changes
340
341* sync down the system time to the RTC when:
f6113d42
KS
342 - CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (the user explicitely requested a time set)
343 - DST/timezone changes && ntp is active && RTC-in-localtime (never do it without ntp)
d2e83c23 344 This takes care of syncing ntpdate updates to the RTC, and DST updates for localtime
7a43e910 345 mode, it will never touch the RTC if the no reliable time source is active or the
d2e83c23 346 user did not request anything like it.
c55b1b59 347
6c1703cc
KS
348* hwdb:
349 - implement conditional properties (dmi matches)
350 - hwdb --filter=ID_DRIVE_*
08f95888 351
59704f3e
LP
352* if booted in "quiet" mode, and an error happens, turn on status
353 output again, so that the emergency mode isn't totally
354 surprising. Also, terminate plymouth.
9ec82de1 355
e707c494
LP
356* libunwind support for coredump pattern hook, and includes this in
357 the message for coredumps. After all, libunwind is now capable to
358 unwind coredumps since a few weeks ago. This probably requires that
7f873283
LP
359 we have nice support for multi-line messages on display in
360 logs-show.c. Alternatively: use libelfutil, which seems to be the
361 better supported alternative.
e707c494 362
e707c494
LP
363* figure out relation of --all and --full in the various tools
364
a19554ed
LP
365* add libsystemd-password or so to query passwords during boot using the password agent logic
366
1cb88f2c
LP
367* 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().
368
369* fedup: add --unit to systemctl switch-root somehow
370* fedup: don't delete initrd on switch-root
371* fedup: generator
603cd8fe 372
b44be3ec 373* timedated:
b44be3ec 374 - timedated: refuse time changes when NTP is on
6d0274f1 375
a7a3f28b
LP
376* clean up date formatting and parsing so that all absolute/relative timestamps we format can also be parsed
377
9b27910b
LP
378* introduce generic AUGMENT_PID=, AUGMENT_DEVICE= fields
379
b44be3ec 380* on shutdown: move utmp, wall, audit logic all into PID 1 (or logind?), get rid of systemd-update-utmp-runlevel
08f95888 381
7d8197d1
KS
382* add "provisioning" instructions to setup an empty /etc + /var
383 - used to setup a new container from a shared /usr
384 - superset of tmpfiles model
385 - instructions shipped by packages and stored in /usr/lib/
386 - compose /etc/passwd and /etc/group, copy files
387 - able to create uid + gid used by packages, for file ownership
388
9ee58bdd
KS
389* make repeated alt-ctrl-del presses printing a dump, or even force a reboot without
390 waiting for the timeout
dcfc4b2e 391
71ef24d0
LP
392* high level net_prio setting in execution context
393

68f16003
LP
451* drop PID 1 reloading, only do reexecing (difficult: Reload()
452 currently is properly synchronous, Reexec() is weird, because we
453 can't delay the response properly until we are back, so instead of
454 being properly synchronous we just keep open the fd and close it
edca2e23 455 when done. That means clients don't get a successful method reply,
68f16003 456 but much rather a disconnect on success.

498 - receive expire packet on pipe if kernel tells the timeout is over
499 - call umount
500 - answer expire packet on pipe with AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_{READY,FAIL}_CMD

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