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

14* add 'set -e' to scripts in test/
15* make test in test/ work with separate output dir
16
2f8d077e
KS
17* suppress log output on shutdown when "quiet" is used
18
2d19f95c 19Fedora 19:
3679d112 20
2f8d077e 21* make anaconda write timeout=0 for encrypted devices
81d112a8 22
a4cc3e5c
LP
23* external: maybe it is time to patch procps so that "ps" links to
24 libsystemd-logind to print a pretty service name, seat name, session
25 name in its output. Currently it only shows cgroup membership, but
0028da22 26 that's sometimes kinda hard to parse for a human.
a4cc3e5c 27
7e2c2bcf 28* cgroup attrs:
f0c15f28 29 - update dbus interface docs in wiki
7b4da18c 30
b44be3ec 31* journal is not closed properly at shutdown when run in a container?
205b7fa4 32
81d112a8
LP
33* localed:
34 - localectl: add listing support for X11 keymaps, by parsing /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/xorg.lst
35 - localectl: support new converted x11→console keymaps
36
eb124a97 37* logind: Class property should probably know "background" or so as value for cron jobs, and the inhibition checks should filter those out too.
990ffbe5 38
dd359de8
LP
39* timer logic is confused by units which are skipped due to failing condition
40 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2013-February/008816.html
41
61a9648f
LP
42* timer logic is also confused if a service it triggers hasn't finished when the next timer elapses:
43 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2013-February/009021.html
44
eb124a97 45Features:
3679d112 46
3b953d68
JT
47* Support SO_REUSEPORT with socket activation:
48 - Let systemd maintain a pool of servers.
49 - Use for seamless upgrades, by running the new server before stopping the
50 old.
51
795607b2
LP
52* BootLoaderSpec: drop allowing ext234 for $BOOT. Clarify that the
53 kernel has to be in $BOOT. Clarify that the boot loader should be
54 installed to the ESP. Define a way how an installer can figure out
55 whether a BLS compliant boot loader is installed.
56
795607b2
LP
57* man: remove .include documentation, and instead push people to use .d/*.conf
58
59* disallow .include from included files
60
cf4eeabb
LP
61* timedatectl needs to show whether NTP is available at all
62
5b3968b7
LP
63* reduce caps of systemd-localed
64
247c873b
LP
65* safe_atod() is too naive, as it is vulnerable to locale parameters, should be locale independent.
66
0be8342c
LP
67* think about requeuing jobs when daemon-reload is issued? usecase:
68 the initrd issues a reload after fstab from the host is accessible
69 and we might want to requeue the mounts local-fs acquired through
70 that automatically.
71
6bc80e94
LP
72* neither pkexec nor sudo initialize environ[] from the PAM environment?
73
487060c2
LP
74* rework specifier logic so that we can distuingish OOM errors from other errors
75
54c31a79
LP
76* systemd-inhibit: refuse taking delay locks
77
826872b6
LP
78* journal-or-kmsg is currently broken? See reverted commit 4a01181e460686d8b4a543b1dfa7f77c9e3c5ab8.
79
54c31a79 80* remove any syslog support from log.c -- we probably can't do this before split-off udev is gone for good
826872b6 81
3679d112
LP
82* fedora: connect the timer units of a service to the service via Also= in [Install], and maybe introduce timers.target
83
84* fedora: F20: go timer units all the way, leave cron.daily for cron
85
86* add a tool that lists active timer units plus their next elapstion and the time the units ran last
87
88* man: document the very specific env the shutdown drop-in tools live in
89
90* shutdown logging: store to EFI var, and store to USB stick?
91
92* man: extend runlevel(8) to mention that runlevels suck, and are dead. Maybe add runlevel(7) with a note about that too
93
94* systemctl: maybe add "systemctl add-wants" or so...
95
96* man: add a link to socket activation blog from systemd.socket(5)
97
98* systemctl status: show drop-in snippets for service files in addition to service file path themesevles.
99
100* man: add more examples to man pages
101
102* man: maybe sort directives in man pages, and take sections from --help and apply them to man too
103
3679d112
LP
104* add "# export SYSTEMD_PAGER=" to bash login
105
106* /usr/bin/service should actually show the new command line
107
108* 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=
109
110* write UI tool that pops up emergency messages from the journal as notification
111
112* think about window-manager-run-as-user-service problem: exit 0 → activate shutdown.target; exit != 0 → restart service
113
114* msgcatalog determine default language of entries from the catalog
115 file name. i.e. foobar.de_DE.catalog would set the default entry
116 name for the entries to de_DE if they aren't explicitly suffixed
117 individually.
118
3ac525bd
LP
119* figure out what we do about hostnames/fqdn in hostnamectl/hostnamed
120
cbb77121
LP
121* use "log level" rather than "log priority" everywhere
122
123* unit_name_mangle() is currently not used on "systemctl enable" and friends, only on "systemctl start"
124
dd359de8
LP
125* ensure sd_journal_seek_monotonic actually works properly.
126
d01a73b6
LP
127* timedate: have global on/off switches for auto-time (NTP), and auto-timezone that connman can subscribe to.
128
eb124a97
LP
129* support --root= in msgcatalog compiler
130
990ffbe5 131* Honour "-" prefix for InaccessibleDirectories= and ReadOnlyDirectories= to
f8aeee1f
LP
132 suppress errors of the specified path doesn't exist
133
134* dev-setup.c: when running in a container, create a tiny stub udev
135 database with the systemd tag set for all network interfaces found,
136 so that libudev reports them as present, and systemd's .device units
137 will be activated.
138
81d112a8 139* merge service_kill() logic into unit_kill_context() and unify the code paths
490b7e47 140
81d112a8 141* introduce ExecCondition= in services
490b7e47 142
b44be3ec
LP
143* EFI:
144 - fsck hookup for the ESP mount is missing
145 - write man page for efi boot generator
b44be3ec
LP
146 - honor language efi variables for default language selection (if there are any?)
147 - honor timezone efi variables for default timezone selection (if there are any?)
148 - introduce bootctl (backed by systemd-bootd) to control temporary and persistent default boot goal plus efi variables
e4181484 149
c0fe5db5 150* maybe do not install getty@tty1.service symlink in /etc but in /usr?
e9fd44b7 151
b44be3ec 152* re-enable "make check" for gtk-doc (broken for unknown reason)
e9fd44b7 153
b44be3ec
LP
154* fstab: add new mount option x-systemd-after=/foobar/waldo to allow manual dependencies to other mount points
155 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=812826
3040728b 156
b44be3ec 157* print a nicer explanation if people use variable/specifier expansion in ExecStart= for the first word
8ed20651 158
b44be3ec 159* mount: turn dependency information from /proc/self/mountinfo into dependency information between systemd units.
e6c6e7af 160
b44be3ec
LP
161* logind:
162 - logind: optionally, ignore idle-hint logic for autosuspend, block suspend as long as a session is around

167 - logind: spawn user@..service on login
168 - logind: non-local X11 server handling
169 - logind: add equivalent to sd_pid_get_owner_uid() to the D-Bus API
170 - pam_systemd: try to get old session id from cgroup, if audit sessionid cannot be determined
171 - pam: when leaving a session explicitly exclude the ReleaseSession() caller process from the killing spree
eb124a97 172 - logind: GetSessionByPID() should accept 0 as PID value
e673ad04 173
b44be3ec 174* exec: when deinitializating a tty device fix the perms and group, too, not only when initializing. Set access mode/gid to 0620/tty.
e673ad04 175
b44be3ec 176* DeviceAllow/DeviceDeny: disallow everything by default, but whitelist /dev/zero, /dev/null and friends
e673ad04 177
b44be3ec 178* service: watchdog logic: for testing purposes allow ping, but do not require pong
e673ad04 179
b44be3ec 180* journal:
c06bf414 181 - import and delete pstore filesystem content at startup
b44be3ec
LP
182 - journald: also get thread ID from client, plus thread name
183 - journal: when waiting for journal additions in the client always sleep at least 1s or so, in order to minimize wakeups
184 - add API to close/reopen/get fd for journal client fd in libsystemd-journal.
185 - fallback to /dev/log based logging in libsystemd-journal, if we can't log natively?
186 - declare the local journal protocol stable in the wiki interface chart
187 - journal: reuse XZ context
188 - sd-journal: speed up sd_journal_get_data() with transparent hash table in bg
189 - journald: when dropping msgs due to ratelimit make sure to write
190 "dropped %u messages" not only when we are about to print the next
191 message that works, but alraedy after a short tiemout
192 - check if we can make journalctl by default use --follow mode inside of less if called without args?
193 - maybe add API to send pairs of iovecs via sd_journal_send
194 - journal: when writing journal auto-rotate if time jumps backwards
195 - gatewayd: should run under its own UID
f47ec8eb 196 - journal: add a setgid "systemd-journal" utility to invoke from libsystemd-journal, which passes fds via STDOUT and does PK access
b44be3ec
LP
197 - journactl: support negative filtering, i.e. FOOBAR!="waldo",
198 and !FOOBAR for events without FOOBAR.
199 - journal: when rotating, copy over old acls/access mode
b44be3ec
LP
200 - journal: send out marker messages every now and then, and immediately sync with fdatasync() afterwards, in order to have hourly guaranteed syncs.
201 - journal: when we haven't written anything in a while, sync to disk and mark file as offline, in order to be more often than not in a clean state
202 - 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.
203 - journal: find a way to allow dropping history early, based on priority, other rules
204 - journal: When used on NFS, check payload hashes
205 - journal: When used on NFS make sure wake up sd_journal_wait() every 2s, to handle missing inotify
b44be3ec

207 - journald: check whether it is OK if the client can still modify delivered journal entries
f47ec8eb 208 - journal live copy, based on libneon (client) and libmicrohttpd (server)
b44be3ec
LP
209 - journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
210 - refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
211 - journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
212 - journal: deal nicely with byte-by-byte copied files, especially regards header
213 - journalctl: show multiline log messages sanely, expand tabs, and show all valid utf8 messages
214 - journal: store euid in journal if it differs from uid
215 - journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the components would fit
2e4015f3 216 - 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
b44be3ec
LP
217
218* document:
219 - document unit_name_mangle()
220 - document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fileds in
221 [Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
222 - man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
223 - Document word splitting syntax for ExecStart= and friends
224 - document that units from /etc override those from /usr and /run
225 - document the exit codes when services fail before they are exec()ed
b44be3ec 226 - document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
eb124a97 227 - document in wiki how to map ical recurrence events to systemd timer unit calendar specifications
b44be3ec
LP
228
229* systemctl:
230 - systemctl list-jobs - show dependencies
231 - add systemctl switch to dump transaction without executing it
232 - Add a verbose mode to "systemctl start" and friends that explains what is being done or not done
233 - "systemctl disable" on a static unit prints no message and does
234 nothing. "systemctl enable" does nothing, and gives a bad message
235 about it. Should fix both to print nice actionable messages.
236 - print nice message from systemctl --failed if there are no entries shown, and hook that into ExecStartPre of rescue.service/emergency.service
237 - add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
238 - systemctl enable: improve the success messages (i.e. more human readable, less shell-like)
239 - systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into doesn't exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
240 - systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
241 - support "systemctl stop foobar@.service" to stop all units matching a certain template
242 - Something is wrong with symlink handling of "autovt@.service" in "systemctl list-unit-files"
7ba97195
ZJS
243 - add configuration/switches to use
244 freeze (http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git) and
245 standby (https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=57793) as suspend modes
8b04b925 246
e673ad04
LP
247* introduce ntp.service (or suchlike) as symlink that is used to arbitrate between various NTP implementations
248
b44be3ec
LP
249* deal with sendmail/postfix exclusivity
250
251* timer units:
252 - configurable jitter for timer events
253 - timer events with system resume
254 - timer units should get the ability to trigger when:
255 o CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (TFD_TIMER_CANCEL_ON_SET)
256 o DST changes
eb124a97 257 - Support 2012-02~4 as syntax for specifying the fourth to last day of the month.
d2e83c23
KS
258
259* update the kernel's TZ (sys_tz) when DST changes
260
261* sync down the system time to the RTC when:
f6113d42
KS
262 - CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (the user explicitely requested a time set)
263 - DST/timezone changes && ntp is active && RTC-in-localtime (never do it without ntp)
d2e83c23 264 This takes care of syncing ntpdate updates to the RTC, and DST updates for localtime
7a43e910 265 mode, it will never touch the RTC if the no reliable time source is active or the
d2e83c23 266 user did not request anything like it.
c55b1b59 267
6c1703cc
KS
268* hwdb:
269 - implement conditional properties (dmi matches)
270 - hwdb --filter=ID_DRIVE_*
08f95888 271
59704f3e
LP
272* if booted in "quiet" mode, and an error happens, turn on status
273 output again, so that the emergency mode isn't totally
274 surprising. Also, terminate plymouth.
9ec82de1 275
e707c494
LP
276* libunwind support for coredump pattern hook, and includes this in
277 the message for coredumps. After all, libunwind is now capable to
278 unwind coredumps since a few weeks ago. This probably requires that
7f873283
LP
279 we have nice support for multi-line messages on display in
280 logs-show.c. Alternatively: use libelfutil, which seems to be the
281 better supported alternative.
e707c494 282
e707c494
LP
283* figure out relation of --all and --full in the various tools
284
a19554ed

285* add libsystemd-password or so to query passwords during boot using the password agent logic
286
1cb88f2c
LP
287* 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().
288
289* fedup: add --unit to systemctl switch-root somehow
290* fedup: don't delete initrd on switch-root
291* fedup: generator
603cd8fe 292
b44be3ec
LP
293* timedated:
294 - timedated: export boolean that clarifies whether NTP is even available
295 - timedated: refuse time changes when NTP is on
6d0274f1 296
a7a3f28b
LP
297* clean up date formatting and parsing so that all absolute/relative timestamps we format can also be parsed
298
9b27910b
LP
299* introduce generic AUGMENT_PID=, AUGMENT_DEVICE= fields
300
b44be3ec 301* on shutdown: move utmp, wall, audit logic all into PID 1 (or logind?), get rid of systemd-update-utmp-runlevel
08f95888 302
7d8197d1
KS
303* add "provisioning" instructions to setup an empty /etc + /var
304 - used to setup a new container from a shared /usr
305 - superset of tmpfiles model
306 - instructions shipped by packages and stored in /usr/lib/
307 - compose /etc/passwd and /etc/group, copy files
308 - able to create uid + gid used by packages, for file ownership
309
9ee58bdd

310* make repeated alt-ctrl-del presses printing a dump, or even force a reboot without
311 waiting for the timeout

313* high level net_prio setting in execution context
314
71ef24d0
LP
315* hostnamed: before returning information from /etc/machine-info.conf check the modification data and reread. Similar for localed, ...
316
1b89884b
LP
317* currently x-systemd.timeout is lost in the initrd, since crypttab is copied into dracut, but fstab isn't
318
1920e37e
LP
319* WorkingDirectory: support env var replacements like in ExecStart= so that people can use $HOME
320
15abdb9a 321* refuse boot if /etc/machine-id is not useful (or set taint?)
1920e37e 322
b44be3ec
LP
323* nspawn:
324 - nspawn: consider changing users for -u with su, so that NSS resolving works correctly
325 - nspawn: implement personality changes a la linux32(8)
326 - nspawn: --read-only is not applied recursively to submounts
327 - nspawn: make use of device cgroup controller by default
328 - bind mount read-only the cgroup tree higher than nspawn
eb124a97
LP
329 - nspawn: investigate whether we can support the same as LXC's
330 lxc.network.type=phys mode, and pass through entire network
331 interfaces to the container
332 - nspawn: maybe add a way to drop additional caps, in addition to add additional caps
333 - nspawn: maybe explicitly reset loginuid?
3679d112
LP
334 - nspawn: move all containers to name=systemd:/containers/, and introduce externally visible names for containers
335 - nspawn: make it work for dwalsh and shared /usr containers -- tmpfs mounts as command line parameters, selinux exec context
b44be3ec
LP
336
337* cryptsetup:
338 - cryptsetup-generator: warn if the password files are world-readable
339 - cryptsetup-generator: add RequiresMountsFor= to cryptseup service files referencing a file, similar for devices
340 - cryptsetup-generator: allow specification of passwords in crypttab itself
341 - move cryptsetup key caching into kernel keyctl?
342 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54982

de34a42b
LP
345* move debug shell to tty6 and make sure this doesn't break the gettys on tty6
346
424a19f8 347* hw watchdog: optionally try to use the preset watchdog timeout instead of always overriding it
41f9172f 348 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54712
424a19f8
LP
349
350* after deserializing sockets in socket.c we should reapply sockopts and things
351
a1cccad1
LP
352* make timer units go away after they elapsed
353
8556879e 354* http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2012-September/006502.html
d05c556b 355 (network and remote-fs on shutdown)
8556879e 356
8556879e

371* shutdown: don't read-only mount anything when running in container
372
68f16003 373* MountFlags=shared acts as MountFlags=slave right now.
0790b9fe 374
5a7e9599
LP
375* ReadOnlyDirectories= is not applied recursively to submounts
376
68f16003
LP
377* drop PID 1 reloading, only do reexecing (difficult: Reload()
378 currently is properly synchronous, Reexec() is weird, because we
379 can't delay the response properly until we are back, so instead of
380 being properly synchronous we just keep open the fd and close it
edca2e23 381 when done. That means clients don't get a successful method reply,
68f16003 382 but much rather a disconnect on success.
