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.

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
9444b1f2
LP
31* move systemctl dump to systemd-analyze
32
33* libsystemd-logind: sd_session_is_active() and friends: verify
34 validity of session name before appending it to a path
35
36* logind: when a PAM client calls ReleaseSession() start a timeout and
37 kill the session entirely after that is reached.
38
39* gparted needs to disable auto-activation of mount units somehow, or
40 maybe we should stop doing auto-activiation of this after boot
41 entirely. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=701676
42
a016b922
LP
43* when a service changes state make reflect that in the
44 RUNNING/LISTENING states of its socket
45
46* slices:
ba73ed85 47 - add option to pam_systemd to move login session into a slice (?)
9444b1f2
LP
48 - remove ControlGroup= setting
49 - in sd_pid_get_owner_uid() fallback to query session file
50 - add api to determine slice of unit
a016b922
LP
51
52* when recursively showing the cgroup hierarchy, optionally also show
53 the hierarchies of child processes
54
1f263d4d
LP
55* document logic of auto/noauto and fail/nofail in fstab in systemd.mount or systemd-fstab-generator man page
56
9444b1f2 57* we should properly escape ssh hostnames we add into dbus server strings
1f263d4d
LP
58
59* something pulls in pcre as so dep into our daemons such as hostnamed.
60
4e09014d
LP
61* cgroup-agent: downgrade error messages
62
63* document systemd-journal-flush.service properly
64
65* chane systemd-journal-flush into a service that stays around during
66 boot, and causes the journal to be moved back to /run on shutdown,
67 so that we don't keep /var busy. This needs to happen synchronously,
68 hence doing this via signals is not going to work.
69
70* allow implementation of InaccessibleDirectories=/ plus
71 ReadOnlyDirectories=... for whitelisting files for a service.
72
d5a2b9a6
LP
73* libsystemd-journal:
74 - return ECHILD as soon as somebody tries to reuse a journal object across a fork()
75
eb01ba5d
LP
76* libsystemd-bus:
77 - default policy (allow uid == 0 and our own uid)
78 - enforce alignment of pointers passed in
eb01ba5d 79 - when kdbus doesn't take our message without memfds, try again with memfds
eb01ba5d
LP
80 - implement translator service
81 - port systemd to new library
82 - implement busname unit type in systemd
83 - move to gvariant
eb01ba5d 84 - merge busctl into systemctl or so?
e4ee6e5c 85 - synthesize sd_bus_message objects from kernel messages
c7819669 86 - properly implement name registry ioctls for kdbus
86312ab8
LP
87 - get rid of object hash table, use decision tree everyhwere instead?
88 - implement monitor logic
89 - object vtable logic
90 - longer term:
91 * priority queues
86312ab8 92 * priority inheritance
eb01ba5d 93
154ff088
LP
94* in the final killing spree, detect processes from the root directory, and
95 complain loudly if they have argv[0][0] == '@' set.
96 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=961044
97
7e853a9b
LP
98* add an option to nspawn that uses seccomp to make socket(AF_NETLINK,
99 SOCK_RAW, NETLINK_AUDIT) fail the the appropriate error code that
100 makes the audit userspace to think auditing is not available in the
101 kernel.
102
d686f034
LP
103* Introduce a way how we can kill the main process of a service with KillSignal, but all processes with SIGKILL later on
104 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=952634
105
19aa7c4f
LP
106* maybe add a warning to the unit file parses whern the acces mode of unit files is non-sensical.
107
aa96c6cb 108* investigate endianess issues of UUID vs. GUID
e8a7a315 109
461bd8e4
LP
110* dbus: when a unit failed to load (i.e. is in UNIT_ERROR state), we
111 should be able to safely try another attempt when the bus call LoadUnit() is invoked.
112
ab8e074c
LP
113* if pam_systemd is invoked by su from a process that is outside of a
114 any session we should probably just become a NOP, since that's
115 usually not a real user session but just some system code that just
116 needs setuid().
117
118* add a pam module that passes the hdd passphrase into the PAM stack and then expires it, for usage by gdm auto-login.
119
120* add a pam module that on password changes updates any LUKS slot where the password matches
121
b454b112
LP
122* maybe add a generator that looks for "systemd.run=" on the kernel cmdline for container usercases...
123
124* timedatctl, localectl: possibly make some commands work without the daemon, for chroot situations...
125
4a449ed7 126* logind: add Suspend() bus calls which take timestamps to fix double suspend issues when somebody hits suspend and closes laptop quickly.
75512303 127
4a449ed7
LP
128* we need dynamic units
129
4ff49cb6
LP
130* cgtop: make cgtop useful in a container
131
fff87a35
ZJS
132* test/:
133 - add 'set -e' to scripts in test/
134 - make stuff in test/ work with separate output dir
135 - remove all the duplicated code in test/
b8b4d3dd
LP
136
137* suppress log output on shutdown when "quiet" is used
138
139* systemctl delete x.snapshot leaves no trace in logs (at least at default level).
140
3df82d5a
LP
141* make the coredump collector tool move itself into the user's cgroup
142 so that the coredump is properly written to the user's own journal
143 file.
144
5666ea6f
KS
145* move /usr/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/modules.devname parsing from udevd to
146 kmod static-nodes
147 call kmod as an early service, and drop CAP_MKNOD from udevd.service
a9602630 148
b5c03638
LP
149* seems that when we follow symlinks to units we prefer the symlink
150 destination path over /etc and /usr. We shouldn't do that. Instead
151 /etc should always override /run+/usr and also any symlink
152 destination.
153
752beb0c
LP
154* remove duplicate default deps logic from fstab-generator vs. mount.c
155
eece8c6f
LP
156* when isolating, try to figure out a way how we implicitly can order
157 all units we stop before the isolating unit...
158
d325d9bc
KS
159* teach udev + logind's uaccess to somehow handle the "dead" device nodes from:
160 /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/modules.devname
161 and apply ACLs to them if they have TAG=="uaccess" in udev rules.
3679d112 162
356ce991
LP
163* add ConditionArchitecture= or so
164
165* teach ConditionKernelCommandLine= globs or regexes (in order to match foobar={no,0,off})
166
bfa00bc6
LP
167* we should log capabilities too
168
3b953d68
JT
169* Support SO_REUSEPORT with socket activation:
170 - Let systemd maintain a pool of servers.
171 - Use for seamless upgrades, by running the new server before stopping the
172 old.
173
09f727ee
LP
174* after all byte-wise realloc() is slow, even on glibc, so i guess we
175 need manual exponential loops after all
176
795607b2
LP
177* BootLoaderSpec: drop allowing ext234 for $BOOT. Clarify that the
178 kernel has to be in $BOOT. Clarify that the boot loader should be
179 installed to the ESP. Define a way how an installer can figure out
180 whether a BLS compliant boot loader is installed.
181
795607b2
LP
182* man: remove .include documentation, and instead push people to use .d/*.conf
183
0be8342c
LP
184* think about requeuing jobs when daemon-reload is issued? usecase:
185 the initrd issues a reload after fstab from the host is accessible
186 and we might want to requeue the mounts local-fs acquired through
187 that automatically.
188
487060c2
LP
189* rework specifier logic so that we can distuingish OOM errors from other errors
190
e5ec62c5 191* systemd-inhibit: make taking delay locks useful: support sending SIGINT or SIGTERM on PrepareForSleep()
54c31a79 192
826872b6
LP
193* journal-or-kmsg is currently broken? See reverted commit 4a01181e460686d8b4a543b1dfa7f77c9e3c5ab8.
194
54c31a79 195* remove any syslog support from log.c -- we probably can't do this before split-off udev is gone for good
826872b6 196
8973790e 197* documentation: recommend to connect the timer units of a service to the service via Also= in [Install]
3679d112
LP
198
199* add a tool that lists active timer units plus their next elapstion and the time the units ran last
200
201* man: document the very specific env the shutdown drop-in tools live in
202
203* shutdown logging: store to EFI var, and store to USB stick?
204
205* man: extend runlevel(8) to mention that runlevels suck, and are dead. Maybe add runlevel(7) with a note about that too
206
207* systemctl: maybe add "systemctl add-wants" or so...
208
3679d112
LP
209* man: add more examples to man pages
210
211* man: maybe sort directives in man pages, and take sections from --help and apply them to man too
212
3679d112
LP
213* write UI tool that pops up emergency messages from the journal as notification
214
215* think about window-manager-run-as-user-service problem: exit 0 → activate shutdown.target; exit != 0 → restart service
216
217* msgcatalog determine default language of entries from the catalog
218 file name. i.e. foobar.de_DE.catalog would set the default entry
219 name for the entries to de_DE if they aren't explicitly suffixed
220 individually.
221
cbb77121
LP
222* use "log level" rather than "log priority" everywhere
223
d01a73b6
LP
224* timedate: have global on/off switches for auto-time (NTP), and auto-timezone that connman can subscribe to.
225
990ffbe5 226* Honour "-" prefix for InaccessibleDirectories= and ReadOnlyDirectories= to
f8aeee1f
LP
227 suppress errors of the specified path doesn't exist
228
229* dev-setup.c: when running in a container, create a tiny stub udev
230 database with the systemd tag set for all network interfaces found,
231 so that libudev reports them as present, and systemd's .device units
232 will be activated.
233
356ce991 234* merge unit_kill_common() and unit_kill_context()
490b7e47 235
81d112a8 236* introduce ExecCondition= in services
490b7e47 237
b44be3ec
LP
238* EFI:
239 - fsck hookup for the ESP mount is missing
240 - write man page for efi boot generator
b44be3ec
LP
241 - honor language efi variables for default language selection (if there are any?)
242 - honor timezone efi variables for default timezone selection (if there are any?)
243 - introduce bootctl (backed by systemd-bootd) to control temporary and persistent default boot goal plus efi variables
e4181484 244
c0fe5db5 245* maybe do not install getty@tty1.service symlink in /etc but in /usr?
e9fd44b7 246
b44be3ec 247* re-enable "make check" for gtk-doc (broken for unknown reason)
e9fd44b7 248
b44be3ec
LP
249* fstab: add new mount option x-systemd-after=/foobar/waldo to allow manual dependencies to other mount points
250 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=812826
3040728b 251
b44be3ec 252* print a nicer explanation if people use variable/specifier expansion in ExecStart= for the first word
8ed20651 253
b44be3ec 254* mount: turn dependency information from /proc/self/mountinfo into dependency information between systemd units.
e6c6e7af 255
b44be3ec
LP
256* logind:
257 - logind: optionally, ignore idle-hint logic for autosuspend, block suspend as long as a session is around
258 - When we update the kernel all kind of hibernation should be prohibited until shutdown/reboot
259 - logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
260 - Add pretty name for seats in logind
261 - logind: allow showing logout dialog from system?
262 - logind: spawn user@..service on login
263 - logind: non-local X11 server handling
264 - logind: add equivalent to sd_pid_get_owner_uid() to the D-Bus API
b44be3ec 265 - pam: when leaving a session explicitly exclude the ReleaseSession() caller process from the killing spree
eb124a97 266 - logind: GetSessionByPID() should accept 0 as PID value
e5ec62c5 267 - we should probably handle SIGTERM/SIGINT to not leave dot files around, just in case
e673ad04 268
b44be3ec 269* exec: when deinitializating a tty device fix the perms and group, too, not only when initializing. Set access mode/gid to 0620/tty.
e673ad04 270
b44be3ec 271* DeviceAllow/DeviceDeny: disallow everything by default, but whitelist /dev/zero, /dev/null and friends
e673ad04 272
b44be3ec 273* service: watchdog logic: for testing purposes allow ping, but do not require pong
e673ad04 274
b44be3ec 275* journal:
b87b8b2b
KS
276 - do not use magic msync() in src/journal/journal-file.c, just call fsync()
277 <alxchk> poettering: looks like msync just calls vfs_fsync
278 http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/mm/msync.c#n18
c06bf414 279 - import and delete pstore filesystem content at startup
b44be3ec
LP
280 - journald: also get thread ID from client, plus thread name
281 - journal: when waiting for journal additions in the client always sleep at least 1s or so, in order to minimize wakeups
282 - add API to close/reopen/get fd for journal client fd in libsystemd-journal.
283 - fallback to /dev/log based logging in libsystemd-journal, if we can't log natively?
284 - declare the local journal protocol stable in the wiki interface chart
285 - journal: reuse XZ context
286 - sd-journal: speed up sd_journal_get_data() with transparent hash table in bg
287 - journald: when dropping msgs due to ratelimit make sure to write
288 "dropped %u messages" not only when we are about to print the next
289 message that works, but alraedy after a short tiemout
290 - check if we can make journalctl by default use --follow mode inside of less if called without args?
291 - maybe add API to send pairs of iovecs via sd_journal_send
292 - journal: when writing journal auto-rotate if time jumps backwards
f47ec8eb 293 - journal: add a setgid "systemd-journal" utility to invoke from libsystemd-journal, which passes fds via STDOUT and does PK access
b44be3ec
LP
294 - journactl: support negative filtering, i.e. FOOBAR!="waldo",
295 and !FOOBAR for events without FOOBAR.
296 - journal: when rotating, copy over old acls/access mode
b44be3ec 297 - journal: send out marker messages every now and then, and immediately sync with fdatasync() afterwards, in order to have hourly guaranteed syncs.
b44be3ec
LP
298 - 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.
299 - journal: find a way to allow dropping history early, based on priority, other rules
300 - journal: When used on NFS, check payload hashes
b44be3ec
LP
301 - Introduce journalctl -b <nr> to show journal messages of a previous boot
302 - journald: check whether it is OK if the client can still modify delivered journal entries
f47ec8eb 303 - journal live copy, based on libneon (client) and libmicrohttpd (server)
b44be3ec
LP
304 - journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
305 - refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
306 - journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
307 - journal: deal nicely with byte-by-byte copied files, especially regards header
308 - journalctl: show multiline log messages sanely, expand tabs, and show all valid utf8 messages
309 - journal: store euid in journal if it differs from uid
310 - journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the components would fit
601d9d6f
JT
311 - Replace utmp, wtmp, btmp, and lastlog completely with journal
312 - Port upower to use the journal for historical power information used in future calculations
b44be3ec
LP
313
314* document:
315 - document unit_name_mangle()
316 - document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fileds in
317 [Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
318 - man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
319 - Document word splitting syntax for ExecStart= and friends
320 - document that units from /etc override those from /usr and /run
321 - document the exit codes when services fail before they are exec()ed
b44be3ec 322 - document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
eb124a97 323 - document in wiki how to map ical recurrence events to systemd timer unit calendar specifications
b44be3ec
LP
324
325* systemctl:
326 - systemctl list-jobs - show dependencies
327 - add systemctl switch to dump transaction without executing it
328 - Add a verbose mode to "systemctl start" and friends that explains what is being done or not done
329 - "systemctl disable" on a static unit prints no message and does
330 nothing. "systemctl enable" does nothing, and gives a bad message
331 about it. Should fix both to print nice actionable messages.
332 - print nice message from systemctl --failed if there are no entries shown, and hook that into ExecStartPre of rescue.service/emergency.service
333 - add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
334 - systemctl enable: improve the success messages (i.e. more human readable, less shell-like)
335 - systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into doesn't exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
336 - systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
337 - support "systemctl stop foobar@.service" to stop all units matching a certain template
338 - Something is wrong with symlink handling of "autovt@.service" in "systemctl list-unit-files"
8b04b925 339
e673ad04
LP
340* introduce ntp.service (or suchlike) as symlink that is used to arbitrate between various NTP implementations
341
b44be3ec
LP
342* deal with sendmail/postfix exclusivity
343
344* timer units:
345 - configurable jitter for timer events
346 - timer events with system resume
347 - timer units should get the ability to trigger when:
348 o CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (TFD_TIMER_CANCEL_ON_SET)
349 o DST changes
eb124a97 350 - Support 2012-02~4 as syntax for specifying the fourth to last day of the month.
d2e83c23
KS
351
352* update the kernel's TZ (sys_tz) when DST changes
353
354* sync down the system time to the RTC when:
f6113d42
KS
355 - CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (the user explicitely requested a time set)
356 - DST/timezone changes && ntp is active && RTC-in-localtime (never do it without ntp)
d2e83c23 357 This takes care of syncing ntpdate updates to the RTC, and DST updates for localtime
7a43e910 358 mode, it will never touch the RTC if the no reliable time source is active or the
d2e83c23 359 user did not request anything like it.
c55b1b59 360
6c1703cc
KS
361* hwdb:
362 - implement conditional properties (dmi matches)
363 - hwdb --filter=ID_DRIVE_*
08f95888 364
59704f3e
LP
365* if booted in "quiet" mode, and an error happens, turn on status
366 output again, so that the emergency mode isn't totally
367 surprising. Also, terminate plymouth.
9ec82de1 368
e707c494
LP
369* libunwind support for coredump pattern hook, and includes this in
370 the message for coredumps. After all, libunwind is now capable to
371 unwind coredumps since a few weeks ago. This probably requires that
7f873283
LP
372 we have nice support for multi-line messages on display in
373 logs-show.c. Alternatively: use libelfutil, which seems to be the
374 better supported alternative.
e707c494 375
e707c494
LP
376* figure out relation of --all and --full in the various tools
377
a19554ed
LP
378* add libsystemd-password or so to query passwords during boot using the password agent logic
379
1cb88f2c
LP
380* 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().
381
382* fedup: add --unit to systemctl switch-root somehow
383* fedup: don't delete initrd on switch-root
384* fedup: generator
603cd8fe 385
b44be3ec 386* timedated:
b44be3ec 387 - timedated: refuse time changes when NTP is on
6d0274f1 388
a7a3f28b
LP
389* clean up date formatting and parsing so that all absolute/relative timestamps we format can also be parsed
390
9b27910b
LP
391* introduce generic AUGMENT_PID=, AUGMENT_DEVICE= fields
