7c66aeba
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
7bcd865d
ZJS
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
7b4da18c 31* kernel cmdline switch to turn off predictable network interface names
788f75a0 32
b44be3ec 33* journal is not closed properly at shutdown when run in a container?
205b7fa4 34
81d112a8
LP
35* localed:
36 - localectl: add listing support for X11 keymaps, by parsing /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/xorg.lst
37 - localectl: support new converted x11→console keymaps
38
eb124a97 39* logind: Class property should probably know "background" or so as value for cron jobs, and the inhibition checks should filter those out too.
990ffbe5 40
dd359de8
LP
41* timer logic is confused by units which are skipped due to failing condition
42 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2013-February/008816.html
43
61a9648f
LP
44* timer logic is also confused if a service it triggers hasn't finished when the next timer elapses:
45 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2013-February/009021.html
46
eb124a97 47Features:
3679d112 48
795607b2
LP
49* BootLoaderSpec: drop allowing ext234 for $BOOT. Clarify that the
50 kernel has to be in $BOOT. Clarify that the boot loader should be
51 installed to the ESP. Define a way how an installer can figure out
52 whether a BLS compliant boot loader is installed.
53
795607b2
LP
54* man: remove .include documentation, and instead push people to use .d/*.conf
55
56* disallow .include from included files
57
cf4eeabb
LP
58* timedatectl needs to show whether NTP is available at all
59
5b3968b7
LP
60* reduce caps of systemd-localed
61
247c873b
LP
62* safe_atod() is too naive, as it is vulnerable to locale parameters, should be locale independent.
63
0be8342c
LP
64* think about requeuing jobs when daemon-reload is issued? usecase:
65 the initrd issues a reload after fstab from the host is accessible
66 and we might want to requeue the mounts local-fs acquired through
67 that automatically.
68
6bc80e94
LP
69* neither pkexec nor sudo initialize environ[] from the PAM environment?
70
487060c2
LP
71* rework specifier logic so that we can distuingish OOM errors from other errors
72
54c31a79
LP
73* systemd-inhibit: refuse taking delay locks
74
826872b6
LP
75* journal-or-kmsg is currently broken? See reverted commit 4a01181e460686d8b4a543b1dfa7f77c9e3c5ab8.
76
54c31a79 77* remove any syslog support from log.c -- we probably can't do this before split-off udev is gone for good
826872b6 78
3679d112
LP
79* fedora: connect the timer units of a service to the service via Also= in [Install], and maybe introduce timers.target
80
81* fedora: F20: go timer units all the way, leave cron.daily for cron
82
83* add a tool that lists active timer units plus their next elapstion and the time the units ran last
84
85* man: document the very specific env the shutdown drop-in tools live in
86
87* shutdown logging: store to EFI var, and store to USB stick?
88
89* man: extend runlevel(8) to mention that runlevels suck, and are dead. Maybe add runlevel(7) with a note about that too
90
91* systemctl: maybe add "systemctl add-wants" or so...
92
93* man: add a link to socket activation blog from systemd.socket(5)
94
95* systemctl status: show drop-in snippets for service files in addition to service file path themesevles.
96
97* man: add more examples to man pages
98
99* man: maybe sort directives in man pages, and take sections from --help and apply them to man too
100
3679d112
LP
101* add "# export SYSTEMD_PAGER=" to bash login
102
103* /usr/bin/service should actually show the new command line
104
105* 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=
106
107* write UI tool that pops up emergency messages from the journal as notification
108
109* think about window-manager-run-as-user-service problem: exit 0 → activate shutdown.target; exit != 0 → restart service
110
111* msgcatalog determine default language of entries from the catalog
112 file name. i.e. foobar.de_DE.catalog would set the default entry
113 name for the entries to de_DE if they aren't explicitly suffixed
114 individually.
115
3ac525bd
LP
116* figure out what we do about hostnames/fqdn in hostnamectl/hostnamed
117
cbb77121
LP
118* use "log level" rather than "log priority" everywhere
119
120* unit_name_mangle() is currently not used on "systemctl enable" and friends, only on "systemctl start"
121
dd359de8
LP
122* ensure sd_journal_seek_monotonic actually works properly.
123
d01a73b6
LP
124* timedate: have global on/off switches for auto-time (NTP), and auto-timezone that connman can subscribe to.
125
eb124a97
LP
126* support --root= in msgcatalog compiler
127
990ffbe5 128* Honour "-" prefix for InaccessibleDirectories= and ReadOnlyDirectories= to
f8aeee1f
LP
129 suppress errors of the specified path doesn't exist
130
131* dev-setup.c: when running in a container, create a tiny stub udev
132 database with the systemd tag set for all network interfaces found,
133 so that libudev reports them as present, and systemd's .device units
134 will be activated.
135
81d112a8 136* merge service_kill() logic into unit_kill_context() and unify the code paths
490b7e47 137
81d112a8 138* introduce ExecCondition= in services
490b7e47 139
b44be3ec
LP
140* EFI:
141 - fsck hookup for the ESP mount is missing
142 - write man page for efi boot generator
b44be3ec
LP
143 - honor language efi variables for default language selection (if there are any?)
144 - honor timezone efi variables for default timezone selection (if there are any?)
145 - introduce bootctl (backed by systemd-bootd) to control temporary and persistent default boot goal plus efi variables
e4181484 146
c0fe5db5 147* maybe do not install getty@tty1.service symlink in /etc but in /usr?
e9fd44b7 148
b44be3ec 149* re-enable "make check" for gtk-doc (broken for unknown reason)
e9fd44b7 150
b44be3ec
LP
151* fstab: add new mount option x-systemd-after=/foobar/waldo to allow manual dependencies to other mount points
152 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=812826
3040728b 153
b44be3ec 154* print a nicer explanation if people use variable/specifier expansion in ExecStart= for the first word
8ed20651 155
b44be3ec 156* mount: turn dependency information from /proc/self/mountinfo into dependency information between systemd units.
e6c6e7af 157
b44be3ec
LP
158* logind:
159 - logind: optionally, ignore idle-hint logic for autosuspend, block suspend as long as a session is around

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

204 - journald: check whether it is OK if the client can still modify delivered journal entries
f47ec8eb 205 - journal live copy, based on libneon (client) and libmicrohttpd (server)
b44be3ec
LP
206 - journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
207 - refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
208 - journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
209 - journal: deal nicely with byte-by-byte copied files, especially regards header
210 - journalctl: show multiline log messages sanely, expand tabs, and show all valid utf8 messages
211 - journal: store euid in journal if it differs from uid
212 - journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the components would fit
2e4015f3 213 - 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
214
215* document:
216 - document unit_name_mangle()
217 - document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fileds in
218 [Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
219 - man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
220 - Document word splitting syntax for ExecStart= and friends
221 - document that units from /etc override those from /usr and /run
222 - document the exit codes when services fail before they are exec()ed
b44be3ec 223 - document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
eb124a97 224 - document in wiki how to map ical recurrence events to systemd timer unit calendar specifications
b44be3ec
LP
225
226* systemctl:
227 - systemctl list-jobs - show dependencies
228 - add systemctl switch to dump transaction without executing it
229 - Add a verbose mode to "systemctl start" and friends that explains what is being done or not done
230 - "systemctl disable" on a static unit prints no message and does
231 nothing. "systemctl enable" does nothing, and gives a bad message
232 about it. Should fix both to print nice actionable messages.
233 - print nice message from systemctl --failed if there are no entries shown, and hook that into ExecStartPre of rescue.service/emergency.service
234 - add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
235 - systemctl enable: improve the success messages (i.e. more human readable, less shell-like)
236 - systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into doesn't exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
237 - systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
238 - support "systemctl stop foobar@.service" to stop all units matching a certain template
239 - Something is wrong with symlink handling of "autovt@.service" in "systemctl list-unit-files"
7ba97195
ZJS
240 - add configuration/switches to use
241 freeze (http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git) and
242 standby (https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=57793) as suspend modes
8b04b925 243
e673ad04
LP
244* introduce ntp.service (or suchlike) as symlink that is used to arbitrate between various NTP implementations
245
b44be3ec
LP
246* deal with sendmail/postfix exclusivity
247
248* timer units:
249 - configurable jitter for timer events
250 - timer events with system resume
251 - timer units should get the ability to trigger when:
252 o CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (TFD_TIMER_CANCEL_ON_SET)
253 o DST changes
eb124a97 254 - Support 2012-02~4 as syntax for specifying the fourth to last day of the month.
d2e83c23
KS
255
256* update the kernel's TZ (sys_tz) when DST changes
257
258* sync down the system time to the RTC when:
f6113d42
KS
259 - CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (the user explicitely requested a time set)
260 - DST/timezone changes && ntp is active && RTC-in-localtime (never do it without ntp)
d2e83c23 261 This takes care of syncing ntpdate updates to the RTC, and DST updates for localtime
7a43e910 262 mode, it will never touch the RTC if the no reliable time source is active or the
d2e83c23 263 user did not request anything like it.
c55b1b59 264
6c1703cc
KS
265* hwdb:
266 - implement conditional properties (dmi matches)
267 - hwdb --filter=ID_DRIVE_*
08f95888 268
59704f3e
LP
269* if booted in "quiet" mode, and an error happens, turn on status
270 output again, so that the emergency mode isn't totally
271 surprising. Also, terminate plymouth.
9ec82de1 272
e707c494
LP
273* libunwind support for coredump pattern hook, and includes this in
274 the message for coredumps. After all, libunwind is now capable to
275 unwind coredumps since a few weeks ago. This probably requires that
7f873283
LP
276 we have nice support for multi-line messages on display in
277 logs-show.c. Alternatively: use libelfutil, which seems to be the
278 better supported alternative.
e707c494 279
e707c494
LP
280* figure out relation of --all and --full in the various tools
281
a19554ed
LP
282* add libsystemd-password or so to query passwords during boot using the password agent logic
283
1cb88f2c
LP
284* 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().
285
286* fedup: add --unit to systemctl switch-root somehow
287* fedup: don't delete initrd on switch-root
288* fedup: generator
603cd8fe 289
b44be3ec
LP
290* timedated:
291 - timedated: export boolean that clarifies whether NTP is even available
292 - timedated: refuse time changes when NTP is on
6d0274f1 293
a7a3f28b
LP
294* clean up date formatting and parsing so that all absolute/relative timestamps we format can also be parsed
295
9b27910b
LP
296* introduce generic AUGMENT_PID=, AUGMENT_DEVICE= fields
297
b44be3ec 298* on shutdown: move utmp, wall, audit logic all into PID 1 (or logind?), get rid of systemd-update-utmp-runlevel
08f95888 299
7d8197d1
KS
300* add "provisioning" instructions to setup an empty /etc + /var
301 - used to setup a new container from a shared /usr
302 - superset of tmpfiles model
303 - instructions shipped by packages and stored in /usr/lib/
304 - compose /etc/passwd and /etc/group, copy files
305 - able to create uid + gid used by packages, for file ownership
306
9ee58bdd
KS
307* make repeated alt-ctrl-del presses printing a dump, or even force a reboot without
308 waiting for the timeout
dcfc4b2e 309
71ef24d0

310* high level net_prio setting in execution context
311
71ef24d0
LP
312* hostnamed: before returning information from /etc/machine-info.conf check the modification data and reread. Similar for localed, ...
313
1b89884b
LP
314* currently x-systemd.timeout is lost in the initrd, since crypttab is copied into dracut, but fstab isn't
315
1920e37e
LP
316* WorkingDirectory: support env var replacements like in ExecStart= so that people can use $HOME
317
15abdb9a 318* refuse boot if /etc/machine-id is not useful (or set taint?)
1920e37e 319
b44be3ec
LP
320* nspawn:
321 - nspawn: consider changing users for -u with su, so that NSS resolving works correctly
322 - nspawn: implement personality changes a la linux32(8)
323 - nspawn: --read-only is not applied recursively to submounts
324 - nspawn: make use of device cgroup controller by default
325 - bind mount read-only the cgroup tree higher than nspawn
eb124a97
LP
326 - nspawn: investigate whether we can support the same as LXC's
327 lxc.network.type=phys mode, and pass through entire network
328 interfaces to the container
329 - nspawn: maybe add a way to drop additional caps, in addition to add additional caps
330 - nspawn: maybe explicitly reset loginuid?
3679d112
LP
331 - nspawn: move all containers to name=systemd:/containers/, and introduce externally visible names for containers
332 - nspawn: make it work for dwalsh and shared /usr containers -- tmpfs mounts as command line parameters, selinux exec context
b44be3ec
LP
333
334* cryptsetup:
335 - cryptsetup-generator: warn if the password files are world-readable
336 - cryptsetup-generator: add RequiresMountsFor= to cryptseup service files referencing a file, similar for devices
337 - cryptsetup-generator: allow specification of passwords in crypttab itself
338 - move cryptsetup key caching into kernel keyctl?
339 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54982
340 - when key file cannot be found, read it from kbd in cryptsetup
f8019684 341
de34a42b
LP
342* move debug shell to tty6 and make sure this doesn't break the gettys on tty6
343
424a19f8 344* hw watchdog: optionally try to use the preset watchdog timeout instead of always overriding it
41f9172f 345 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54712
424a19f8
LP
346
347* after deserializing sockets in socket.c we should reapply sockopts and things
348
a1cccad1
LP
349* make timer units go away after they elapsed
350
8556879e 351* http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2012-September/006502.html
d05c556b 352 (network and remote-fs on shutdown)
8556879e 353
8556879e
LP
354* come up with a nice way to write queue/read_ahead_kb for a block device without interfering with readahead

365
d8b78264
LP
366* explore multiple service instances per listening socket idea

7560fffc
LP
368* shutdown: don't read-only mount anything when running in container
369
68f16003 370* MountFlags=shared acts as MountFlags=slave right now.
0790b9fe 371
5a7e9599
LP
372* ReadOnlyDirectories= is not applied recursively to submounts
373
68f16003
LP
374* drop PID 1 reloading, only do reexecing (difficult: Reload()
375 currently is properly synchronous, Reexec() is weird, because we
376 can't delay the response properly until we are back, so instead of
377 being properly synchronous we just keep open the fd and close it
edca2e23 378 when done. That means clients don't get a successful method reply,
