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.

LP
16* timedatectl: NTP enabled: n/a
17
3df82d5a
LP
18* fix match logic to add another level of disjunction/conjunction
19
a4cc3e5c
LP
20* external: maybe it is time to patch procps so that "ps" links to
21 libsystemd-logind to print a pretty service name, seat name, session
22 name in its output. Currently it only shows cgroup membership, but
0028da22 23 that's sometimes kinda hard to parse for a human.
a4cc3e5c 24
7e2c2bcf 25* cgroup attrs:
f0c15f28 26 - update dbus interface docs in wiki
7b4da18c 27
81d112a8 28* localed:
81d112a8
LP
29 - localectl: support new converted x11→console keymaps
30
dd359de8
LP
31* timer logic is confused by units which are skipped due to failing condition
32 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2013-February/008816.html
33
61a9648f
LP
34* timer logic is also confused if a service it triggers hasn't finished when the next timer elapses:
35 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2013-February/009021.html
36
eb124a97 37Features:
3df82d5a 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
ab8e074c 54* nspawn: expose init PID, UUID, root directory as cgroup EAs. names should be: 'user.machine_id', 'user.init_pid', 'user.root_directory'.
b454b112
LP
55
56* logind: consider making suspend inhibitor locks non-session specific, but keep suspend-key inhibitor locks session specific
57
4a449ed7 58* logind: add Suspend() bus calls which take timestamps to fix double suspend issues when somebody hits suspend and closes laptop quickly.
75512303 59
4a449ed7
LP
60* we need dynamic units
61
62* nss-myhostname should also resolve 'localhost' so that /etc/hosts becomes optional.
d8d3d8a7 63
4a449ed7
LP
64* add s.th. like "systemctl set-log-level debug"
65
66* sd-login: allow enumerating machines and add inotify iface
4ff49cb6 67
4a449ed7 68* move session owner code from sd-login.c to cgroup-util.c
4ff49cb6
LP
69
70* cgroup-util: verify syntax of cgroup controllers
71
72* cgtop: make cgtop useful in a container
73
74* make sure cg_pid_get_path() works properly for co-mounted controllers
75
76* nspawn: ensure syntax of --uuid= argument is correct
77
a53824ea
LP
78* explicitly disallow changing the cgroup path of units in the
79 name=systemd hierarchy, unless it is outside of /system
80
b8b4d3dd
LP
81* add 'set -e' to scripts in test/
82* make test in test/ work with separate output dir
83
84* suppress log output on shutdown when "quiet" is used
85
86* systemctl delete x.snapshot leaves no trace in logs (at least at default level).
87
3df82d5a
LP
88* make the coredump collector tool move itself into the user's cgroup
89 so that the coredump is properly written to the user's own journal
90 file.
91
5666ea6f
KS
92* move /usr/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/modules.devname parsing from udevd to
93 kmod static-nodes
94 call kmod as an early service, and drop CAP_MKNOD from udevd.service
a9602630 95
b6b7d433
LP
96* systemd-delta needs to be made aware of *.d/*.conf drop-in files for
97 units.
98
b5c03638
LP
99* seems that when we follow symlinks to units we prefer the symlink
100 destination path over /etc and /usr. We shouldn't do that. Instead
101 /etc should always override /run+/usr and also any symlink
102 destination.
103
752beb0c
LP
104* remove duplicate default deps logic from fstab-generator vs. mount.c
105
eece8c6f
LP
106* when isolating, try to figure out a way how we implicitly can order
107 all units we stop before the isolating unit...
108
d325d9bc
KS
109* teach udev + logind's uaccess to somehow handle the "dead" device nodes from:
110 /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/modules.devname
111 and apply ACLs to them if they have TAG=="uaccess" in udev rules.
3679d112 112
64e30145
LP
113* matching against units is currently broken in journalctl. We really
114 need another AND level in the expressions,
115 i.e. sd_journal_add_conjunction().
116
356ce991
LP
117* add ConditionArchitecture= or so
118
119* teach ConditionKernelCommandLine= globs or regexes (in order to match foobar={no,0,off})
120
bfa00bc6
LP
121* we should log capabilities too
122
3b953d68
JT
123* Support SO_REUSEPORT with socket activation:
124 - Let systemd maintain a pool of servers.
125 - Use for seamless upgrades, by running the new server before stopping the
126 old.
127
09f727ee
LP
128* after all byte-wise realloc() is slow, even on glibc, so i guess we
129 need manual exponential loops after all
130
795607b2
LP
131* BootLoaderSpec: drop allowing ext234 for $BOOT. Clarify that the
132 kernel has to be in $BOOT. Clarify that the boot loader should be
133 installed to the ESP. Define a way how an installer can figure out
134 whether a BLS compliant boot loader is installed.
135
795607b2
LP
136* man: remove .include documentation, and instead push people to use .d/*.conf
137
138* disallow .include from included files
139
247c873b
LP
140* safe_atod() is too naive, as it is vulnerable to locale parameters, should be locale independent.
141
0be8342c
LP
142* think about requeuing jobs when daemon-reload is issued? usecase:
143 the initrd issues a reload after fstab from the host is accessible
144 and we might want to requeue the mounts local-fs acquired through
145 that automatically.
146
6bc80e94
LP
147* neither pkexec nor sudo initialize environ[] from the PAM environment?
148
487060c2
LP
149* rework specifier logic so that we can distuingish OOM errors from other errors
150
e5ec62c5 151* systemd-inhibit: make taking delay locks useful: support sending SIGINT or SIGTERM on PrepareForSleep()
54c31a79 152
826872b6
LP
153* journal-or-kmsg is currently broken? See reverted commit 4a01181e460686d8b4a543b1dfa7f77c9e3c5ab8.
154
54c31a79 155* remove any syslog support from log.c -- we probably can't do this before split-off udev is gone for good
826872b6 156
e5ec62c5 157* fedora: connect the timer units of a service to the service via Also= in [Install]
3679d112
LP
158
159* fedora: F20: go timer units all the way, leave cron.daily for cron
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
171* man: add a link to socket activation blog from systemd.socket(5)
172
3679d112
LP
173* man: add more examples to man pages
174
175* man: maybe sort directives in man pages, and take sections from --help and apply them to man too
176
3679d112
LP
177* add "# export SYSTEMD_PAGER=" to bash login
178
179* /usr/bin/service should actually show the new command line
180
181* 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=
182
183* write UI tool that pops up emergency messages from the journal as notification
184
185* think about window-manager-run-as-user-service problem: exit 0 → activate shutdown.target; exit != 0 → restart service
186
187* msgcatalog determine default language of entries from the catalog
188 file name. i.e. foobar.de_DE.catalog would set the default entry
189 name for the entries to de_DE if they aren't explicitly suffixed
190 individually.
191
cbb77121
LP
192* use "log level" rather than "log priority" everywhere
193
dd359de8
LP
194* ensure sd_journal_seek_monotonic actually works properly.
195
d01a73b6
LP
196* timedate: have global on/off switches for auto-time (NTP), and auto-timezone that connman can subscribe to.
197
990ffbe5 198* Honour "-" prefix for InaccessibleDirectories= and ReadOnlyDirectories= to
f8aeee1f
LP
199 suppress errors of the specified path doesn't exist
200
201* dev-setup.c: when running in a container, create a tiny stub udev
202 database with the systemd tag set for all network interfaces found,
203 so that libudev reports them as present, and systemd's .device units
204 will be activated.
205
356ce991 206* merge unit_kill_common() and unit_kill_context()
490b7e47 207
81d112a8 208* introduce ExecCondition= in services
490b7e47 209
b44be3ec
LP
210* EFI:
211 - fsck hookup for the ESP mount is missing
212 - write man page for efi boot generator
b44be3ec
LP
213 - honor language efi variables for default language selection (if there are any?)
214 - honor timezone efi variables for default timezone selection (if there are any?)
215 - introduce bootctl (backed by systemd-bootd) to control temporary and persistent default boot goal plus efi variables
e4181484 216
c0fe5db5 217* maybe do not install getty@tty1.service symlink in /etc but in /usr?
e9fd44b7 218
b44be3ec 219* re-enable "make check" for gtk-doc (broken for unknown reason)
e9fd44b7 220
b44be3ec
LP
221* fstab: add new mount option x-systemd-after=/foobar/waldo to allow manual dependencies to other mount points
222 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=812826
3040728b 223
b44be3ec 224* print a nicer explanation if people use variable/specifier expansion in ExecStart= for the first word
8ed20651 225
b44be3ec 226* mount: turn dependency information from /proc/self/mountinfo into dependency information between systemd units.
e6c6e7af 227
b44be3ec
LP
228* logind:
229 - logind: optionally, ignore idle-hint logic for autosuspend, block suspend as long as a session is around
230 - When we update the kernel all kind of hibernation should be prohibited until shutdown/reboot
231 - logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
232 - Add pretty name for seats in logind
233 - logind: allow showing logout dialog from system?
234 - logind: spawn user@..service on login
235 - logind: non-local X11 server handling
236 - logind: add equivalent to sd_pid_get_owner_uid() to the D-Bus API
b44be3ec 237 - pam: when leaving a session explicitly exclude the ReleaseSession() caller process from the killing spree
eb124a97 238 - logind: GetSessionByPID() should accept 0 as PID value
e5ec62c5 239 - we should probably handle SIGTERM/SIGINT to not leave dot files around, just in case
e673ad04 240
b44be3ec 241* exec: when deinitializating a tty device fix the perms and group, too, not only when initializing. Set access mode/gid to 0620/tty.
e673ad04 242
b44be3ec 243* DeviceAllow/DeviceDeny: disallow everything by default, but whitelist /dev/zero, /dev/null and friends
e673ad04 244
b44be3ec 245* service: watchdog logic: for testing purposes allow ping, but do not require pong
e673ad04 246
b44be3ec 247* journal:
b87b8b2b
KS
248 - do not use magic msync() in src/journal/journal-file.c, just call fsync()
249 <alxchk> poettering: looks like msync just calls vfs_fsync
250 http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/mm/msync.c#n18
c06bf414 251 - import and delete pstore filesystem content at startup
b44be3ec
LP
252 - journald: also get thread ID from client, plus thread name
253 - journal: when waiting for journal additions in the client always sleep at least 1s or so, in order to minimize wakeups
254 - add API to close/reopen/get fd for journal client fd in libsystemd-journal.
255 - fallback to /dev/log based logging in libsystemd-journal, if we can't log natively?
256 - declare the local journal protocol stable in the wiki interface chart
257 - journal: reuse XZ context
258 - sd-journal: speed up sd_journal_get_data() with transparent hash table in bg
259 - journald: when dropping msgs due to ratelimit make sure to write
260 "dropped %u messages" not only when we are about to print the next
261 message that works, but alraedy after a short tiemout
262 - check if we can make journalctl by default use --follow mode inside of less if called without args?
263 - maybe add API to send pairs of iovecs via sd_journal_send
264 - journal: when writing journal auto-rotate if time jumps backwards
265 - gatewayd: should run under its own UID
f47ec8eb 266 - journal: add a setgid "systemd-journal" utility to invoke from libsystemd-journal, which passes fds via STDOUT and does PK access
b44be3ec
LP
267 - journactl: support negative filtering, i.e. FOOBAR!="waldo",
268 and !FOOBAR for events without FOOBAR.
269 - journal: when rotating, copy over old acls/access mode
b44be3ec 270 - journal: send out marker messages every now and then, and immediately sync with fdatasync() afterwards, in order to have hourly guaranteed syncs.
b44be3ec
LP
271 - 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.
272 - journal: find a way to allow dropping history early, based on priority, other rules
273 - journal: When used on NFS, check payload hashes
274 - journal: When used on NFS make sure wake up sd_journal_wait() every 2s, to handle missing inotify
b44be3ec
LP
275 - Introduce journalctl -b <nr> to show journal messages of a previous boot
276 - journald: check whether it is OK if the client can still modify delivered journal entries
f47ec8eb 277 - journal live copy, based on libneon (client) and libmicrohttpd (server)
b44be3ec
LP
278 - journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
279 - refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
280 - journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
281 - journal: deal nicely with byte-by-byte copied files, especially regards header
282 - journalctl: show multiline log messages sanely, expand tabs, and show all valid utf8 messages
283 - journal: store euid in journal if it differs from uid
284 - journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the components would fit
2e4015f3 285 - 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
286
287* document:
288 - document unit_name_mangle()
289 - document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fileds in
290 [Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
291 - man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
292 - Document word splitting syntax for ExecStart= and friends
293 - document that units from /etc override those from /usr and /run
294 - document the exit codes when services fail before they are exec()ed
b44be3ec 295 - document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
eb124a97 296 - document in wiki how to map ical recurrence events to systemd timer unit calendar specifications
b44be3ec
LP
297
298* systemctl:
299 - systemctl list-jobs - show dependencies
300 - add systemctl switch to dump transaction without executing it
301 - Add a verbose mode to "systemctl start" and friends that explains what is being done or not done
302 - "systemctl disable" on a static unit prints no message and does
303 nothing. "systemctl enable" does nothing, and gives a bad message
304 about it. Should fix both to print nice actionable messages.
305 - print nice message from systemctl --failed if there are no entries shown, and hook that into ExecStartPre of rescue.service/emergency.service
306 - add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
307 - systemctl enable: improve the success messages (i.e. more human readable, less shell-like)
308 - systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into doesn't exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
309 - systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
310 - support "systemctl stop foobar@.service" to stop all units matching a certain template
311 - Something is wrong with symlink handling of "autovt@.service" in "systemctl list-unit-files"
7ba97195
ZJS
312 - add configuration/switches to use
313 freeze (http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git) and
314 standby (https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=57793) as suspend modes
8b04b925 315
e673ad04
LP
316* introduce ntp.service (or suchlike) as symlink that is used to arbitrate between various NTP implementations
317
b44be3ec
LP
318* deal with sendmail/postfix exclusivity
319
320* timer units:
321 - configurable jitter for timer events
322 - timer events with system resume
323 - timer units should get the ability to trigger when:
324 o CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (TFD_TIMER_CANCEL_ON_SET)
325 o DST changes
eb124a97 326 - Support 2012-02~4 as syntax for specifying the fourth to last day of the month.
d2e83c23
KS
327
328* update the kernel's TZ (sys_tz) when DST changes
329
330* sync down the system time to the RTC when:
f6113d42
KS
331 - CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (the user explicitely requested a time set)
332 - DST/timezone changes && ntp is active && RTC-in-localtime (never do it without ntp)
d2e83c23 333 This takes care of syncing ntpdate updates to the RTC, and DST updates for localtime
7a43e910 334 mode, it will never touch the RTC if the no reliable time source is active or the
d2e83c23 335 user did not request anything like it.
c55b1b59 336
6c1703cc
KS
337* hwdb:
338 - implement conditional properties (dmi matches)
339 - hwdb --filter=ID_DRIVE_*
08f95888 340
59704f3e
LP
341* if booted in "quiet" mode, and an error happens, turn on status
342 output again, so that the emergency mode isn't totally
343 surprising. Also, terminate plymouth.
9ec82de1 344
e707c494
LP
345* libunwind support for coredump pattern hook, and includes this in
346 the message for coredumps. After all, libunwind is now capable to
347 unwind coredumps since a few weeks ago. This probably requires that
7f873283
LP
348 we have nice support for multi-line messages on display in
349 logs-show.c. Alternatively: use libelfutil, which seems to be the
350 better supported alternative.
e707c494 351
e707c494
LP
352* figure out relation of --all and --full in the various tools
353
a19554ed
LP
354* add libsystemd-password or so to query passwords during boot using the password agent logic
355
1cb88f2c
LP
356* 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().
357
358* fedup: add --unit to systemctl switch-root somehow
359* fedup: don't delete initrd on switch-root
360* fedup: generator
603cd8fe 361
b44be3ec 362* timedated:
b44be3ec 363 - timedated: refuse time changes when NTP is on
6d0274f1 364
a7a3f28b
LP
365* clean up date formatting and parsing so that all absolute/relative timestamps we format can also be parsed
366
9b27910b
LP
367* introduce generic AUGMENT_PID=, AUGMENT_DEVICE= fields
368
b44be3ec 369* on shutdown: move utmp, wall, audit logic all into PID 1 (or logind?), get rid of systemd-update-utmp-runlevel
08f95888 370
7d8197d1
KS
371* add "provisioning" instructions to setup an empty /etc + /var
372 - used to setup a new container from a shared /usr
373 - superset of tmpfiles model
374 - instructions shipped by packages and stored in /usr/lib/
375 - compose /etc/passwd and /etc/group, copy files
376 - able to create uid + gid used by packages, for file ownership
377
9ee58bdd
KS
378* make repeated alt-ctrl-del presses printing a dump, or even force a reboot without
379 waiting for the timeout
dcfc4b2e 380
71ef24d0
LP
381* high level net_prio setting in execution context
382
71ef24d0
LP
383* hostnamed: before returning information from /etc/machine-info.conf check the modification data and reread. Similar for localed, ...
384
1b89884b
LP
385* currently x-systemd.timeout is lost in the initrd, since crypttab is copied into dracut, but fstab isn't

LP
444* drop PID 1 reloading, only do reexecing (difficult: Reload()
445 currently is properly synchronous, Reexec() is weird, because we
446 can't delay the response properly until we are back, so instead of
447 being properly synchronous we just keep open the fd and close it
edca2e23 448 when done. That means clients don't get a successful method reply,
68f16003 449 but much rather a disconnect on success.
