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.

466784c8 14Fedora 20:
3679d112 15
dc7adf20 16* external: ps should gain colums for slice and machine

81d112a8
LP
19 - localectl: support new converted x11→console keymaps
20
55d32caf 21* when installing fedora with yum --installroot /var/run is a directory, not a symlink

24CGroup Rework Completion:
25
bafb15ba
LP
26* introduce "mainpid" for scopes
27
28* implement system-wide DefaultCPUAccounting=1 switch (and similar for blockio, memory?)
29
30* implement per-slice CPUFairScheduling=1 switch
31
32* handle jointly mounted controllers correctly
33
34* logind: implement session kill exceptions
35
bafb15ba
LP
36* make BlockIODeviceWeight=, BlockIODeviceBandwidth= runtime settable
37
049b4474 38* introduce high-level settings for RT budget, swappiness
bafb15ba 39
431c72dc 40* wiki: document new bus APIs of PID 1 (transient units, Reloading signal)
bafb15ba 41
248aa28f
LP
42* Send SIGHUP and SIGTERM in session scopes
43
eb124a97 44Features:
154ff088 45
5a4555ba
LP
46* logind: when logging out, remove user-owned sysv and posix IPC objects
47
afaba023
LP
48* session scopes/user unit: add RequiresMountsFor for the home directory of the user
49
4c4ae27d
LP
50* add a man page containing packaging guidelines and recommending usage of things like Documentation=, PrivateTmp=, PrivateNetwork= and ReadOnlyDirectories=/etc /usr.
51
408f281b
LP
52* journalctl: instead --after-cursor= maybe have a --cursor=XYZ+1 syntax?
53
e1b7e7ec
LP
54* given that logind/machined now let PID 1 do all nasty work we can
55 probably reduce the capability set they retain substantially.
56
6aaa8c2f 57* btrfs raid assembly: some .device jobs stay stuck in the queue
c3bb87db 58
e7256c5c
LP
59* Fedora: add an rpmlint check that verifies that all unit files in the RPM are listed in %systemd_post macros.
60
042e33ae
LP
61* Fedora: post FPC ticket to move add %tmpfiles_create to the packaging guidelines
62
e1b7e7ec 63* make sure gdm doesn't use multi-user-x but the new default X configuration file, and then remove multi-user-x from systemd
18d4e7c2 64
36c0868b
LP
65* when parsing calendar timestamps support the UTC timezone (even if we won't support arbitrary timezone specs, support UTC itself certainly makes sense), also support syntaxes such as +0200
66
fa7deadb
LP
67* when a kernel driver logs in a tight loop we should ratelimit that too.
68
c5757cc8 69* "systemctl disable" of a unit instance removes all symlinks, should
69af4503 70 only remove the instance symlink (systemctl disable of a template
c5757cc8
LP
71 unit however should remove them all).
72
73* journald: optionally, log debug messages to /run but everything else to /var
74
d907c208
LP
75* systemctl list-unit-files should list generated files (and probably with a new state "generated" for them, or so)
76
049b4474
LP
77* do we really need both hasprefix() and startswith()?
78
bdeeb6b5
LP
79* journald: when we drop syslog messages because the syslog socket is
80 full, make sure to write how many messages are lost as first thing
81 to syslog when it works again.
82
83* prohibit Restart= set with Type=oneshot
84
85* man: the documentation of Restart= currently is very misleading and suggests the tools from ExecStartPre= might get restarted.
86
87* load .d/*.conf dropins for device units
88
fb6becb4
LP
89* add a fixed dbus path for "my own unit", "my own session", ... to PID1, logind, ...
90
6c12b52e
LP
91* service_coldplug() appears to reinstall the wrong stop timeout watch?
92
11ddb6f4
LP
93* transient units: allow creating auxiliary units with the same call
94
7041efe9
LP
95* how to reset dynamically changed attributes sanely?
96
b42defe3
LP
97* when reloading configuration, apply new cgroup configuration
98
4ad49000 99* journald: make sure ratelimit is actually really per-service with the new cgroup changes
3d3ee759 100
9444b1f2
LP
101* libsystemd-logind: sd_session_is_active() and friends: verify
102 validity of session name before appending it to a path
103
9444b1f2 104* gparted needs to disable auto-activation of mount units somehow, or
69af4503 105 maybe we should stop doing auto-activation of this after boot
9444b1f2 106 entirely. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=701676
466784c8
KS
107 Maybe take a BSD lock at the disk device node and teach udev to
108 check for that and suppress event handling.
9444b1f2 109
a016b922
LP
110* when a service changes state make reflect that in the
111 RUNNING/LISTENING states of its socket
112
a016b922
LP
113* when recursively showing the cgroup hierarchy, optionally also show
114 the hierarchies of child processes
115
1f263d4d
LP
116* document logic of auto/noauto and fail/nofail in fstab in systemd.mount or systemd-fstab-generator man page
117
9444b1f2 118* we should properly escape ssh hostnames we add into dbus server strings
1f263d4d
LP
119
120* something pulls in pcre as so dep into our daemons such as hostnamed.
121
4e09014d
LP
122* document systemd-journal-flush.service properly
123
a65f06bb 124* change systemd-journal-flush into a service that stays around during
4e09014d
LP
125 boot, and causes the journal to be moved back to /run on shutdown,
126 so that we don't keep /var busy. This needs to happen synchronously,
127 hence doing this via signals is not going to work.
128
129* allow implementation of InaccessibleDirectories=/ plus
130 ReadOnlyDirectories=... for whitelisting files for a service.
131
eb01ba5d
LP
132* libsystemd-bus:
133 - default policy (allow uid == 0 and our own uid)
134 - enforce alignment of pointers passed in
eb01ba5d 135 - when kdbus doesn't take our message without memfds, try again with memfds
eb01ba5d
LP
136 - implement translator service
137 - port systemd to new library
138 - implement busname unit type in systemd
139 - move to gvariant
eb01ba5d 140 - merge busctl into systemctl or so?
e4ee6e5c 141 - synthesize sd_bus_message objects from kernel messages
c7819669 142 - properly implement name registry ioctls for kdbus
86312ab8
LP
143 - get rid of object hash table, use decision tree everyhwere instead?
144 - implement monitor logic
145 - object vtable logic
146 - longer term:
147 * priority queues
86312ab8 148 * priority inheritance
eb01ba5d 149
154ff088
LP
150* in the final killing spree, detect processes from the root directory, and
151 complain loudly if they have argv[0][0] == '@' set.
152 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=961044
153
7e853a9b
LP
154* add an option to nspawn that uses seccomp to make socket(AF_NETLINK,
155 SOCK_RAW, NETLINK_AUDIT) fail the the appropriate error code that
156 makes the audit userspace to think auditing is not available in the
157 kernel.
158
d686f034
LP
159* Introduce a way how we can kill the main process of a service with KillSignal, but all processes with SIGKILL later on
160 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=952634
161
69af4503 162* maybe add a warning to the unit file parses where the access mode of unit files is nonsensical.
19aa7c4f 163
69af4503 164* investigate endianness issues of UUID vs. GUID
e8a7a315 165
461bd8e4
LP
166* dbus: when a unit failed to load (i.e. is in UNIT_ERROR state), we
167 should be able to safely try another attempt when the bus call LoadUnit() is invoked.
168
ab8e074c
LP
169* if pam_systemd is invoked by su from a process that is outside of a
170 any session we should probably just become a NOP, since that's
171 usually not a real user session but just some system code that just
172 needs setuid().
173
174* add a pam module that passes the hdd passphrase into the PAM stack and then expires it, for usage by gdm auto-login.
175
176* add a pam module that on password changes updates any LUKS slot where the password matches
177
b454b112
LP
178* maybe add a generator that looks for "systemd.run=" on the kernel cmdline for container usercases...
179
180* timedatctl, localectl: possibly make some commands work without the daemon, for chroot situations...
181
4a449ed7 182* logind: add Suspend() bus calls which take timestamps to fix double suspend issues when somebody hits suspend and closes laptop quickly.
75512303 183
4a449ed7
LP
184* we need dynamic units
185
4ff49cb6
LP
186* cgtop: make cgtop useful in a container
187
fff87a35
ZJS
188* test/:
189 - add 'set -e' to scripts in test/
190 - make stuff in test/ work with separate output dir
191 - remove all the duplicated code in test/
b8b4d3dd 192
b8b4d3dd
LP
193* systemctl delete x.snapshot leaves no trace in logs (at least at default level).
194
3df82d5a
LP
195* make the coredump collector tool move itself into the user's cgroup
196 so that the coredump is properly written to the user's own journal
197 file.
198
b5c03638
LP
199* seems that when we follow symlinks to units we prefer the symlink
200 destination path over /etc and /usr. We shouldn't do that. Instead
201 /etc should always override /run+/usr and also any symlink
202 destination.
203
752beb0c
LP
204* remove duplicate default deps logic from fstab-generator vs. mount.c
205
eece8c6f
LP
206* when isolating, try to figure out a way how we implicitly can order
207 all units we stop before the isolating unit...
208
356ce991
LP
209* add ConditionArchitecture= or so
210
211* teach ConditionKernelCommandLine= globs or regexes (in order to match foobar={no,0,off})
212
3b953d68
JT
213* Support SO_REUSEPORT with socket activation:
214 - Let systemd maintain a pool of servers.
215 - Use for seamless upgrades, by running the new server before stopping the
216 old.
217
09f727ee
LP
218* after all byte-wise realloc() is slow, even on glibc, so i guess we
219 need manual exponential loops after all
220
795607b2
LP
221* BootLoaderSpec: drop allowing ext234 for $BOOT. Clarify that the
222 kernel has to be in $BOOT. Clarify that the boot loader should be
223 installed to the ESP. Define a way how an installer can figure out
224 whether a BLS compliant boot loader is installed.
225
795607b2
LP
226* man: remove .include documentation, and instead push people to use .d/*.conf
227
0be8342c
LP
228* think about requeuing jobs when daemon-reload is issued? usecase:
229 the initrd issues a reload after fstab from the host is accessible
230 and we might want to requeue the mounts local-fs acquired through
231 that automatically.
232
69af4503 233* rework specifier logic so that we can distinguish OOM errors from other errors
487060c2 234
e5ec62c5 235* systemd-inhibit: make taking delay locks useful: support sending SIGINT or SIGTERM on PrepareForSleep()
54c31a79 236
826872b6
LP
237* journal-or-kmsg is currently broken? See reverted commit 4a01181e460686d8b4a543b1dfa7f77c9e3c5ab8.
238
54c31a79 239* remove any syslog support from log.c -- we probably can't do this before split-off udev is gone for good
826872b6 240
8973790e 241* documentation: recommend to connect the timer units of a service to the service via Also= in [Install]
3679d112 242
69af4503 243* add a tool that lists active timer units plus their next elapse and the time the units ran last
3679d112
LP
244
245* man: document the very specific env the shutdown drop-in tools live in
246
247* shutdown logging: store to EFI var, and store to USB stick?
248
69af4503 249* man: extend runlevel(8) to mention that runlevels suck, and are dead. Maybe add runlevel(7) with a note about that too
3679d112
LP
250
251* systemctl: maybe add "systemctl add-wants" or so...
252
3679d112
LP
253* man: add more examples to man pages
254
255* man: maybe sort directives in man pages, and take sections from --help and apply them to man too
256
3679d112
LP
257* write UI tool that pops up emergency messages from the journal as notification
258
259* think about window-manager-run-as-user-service problem: exit 0 → activate shutdown.target; exit != 0 → restart service
260
261* msgcatalog determine default language of entries from the catalog
262 file name. i.e. foobar.de_DE.catalog would set the default entry
263 name for the entries to de_DE if they aren't explicitly suffixed
264 individually.
265
cbb77121
LP
266* use "log level" rather than "log priority" everywhere
267
d01a73b6
LP
268* timedate: have global on/off switches for auto-time (NTP), and auto-timezone that connman can subscribe to.
269
990ffbe5 270* Honour "-" prefix for InaccessibleDirectories= and ReadOnlyDirectories= to
f8aeee1f
LP
271 suppress errors of the specified path doesn't exist
272
273* dev-setup.c: when running in a container, create a tiny stub udev
274 database with the systemd tag set for all network interfaces found,
275 so that libudev reports them as present, and systemd's .device units
276 will be activated.
277
356ce991 278* merge unit_kill_common() and unit_kill_context()
490b7e47 279
81d112a8 280* introduce ExecCondition= in services
490b7e47 281
b44be3ec
LP
282* EFI:
283 - fsck hookup for the ESP mount is missing
284 - write man page for efi boot generator
b44be3ec
LP
285 - honor language efi variables for default language selection (if there are any?)
286 - honor timezone efi variables for default timezone selection (if there are any?)
466784c8 287 - change bootctl to be backed by systemd-bootd to control temporary and persistent default boot goal plus efi variables
e4181484 288
c0fe5db5 289* maybe do not install getty@tty1.service symlink in /etc but in /usr?
e9fd44b7 290
b44be3ec 291* re-enable "make check" for gtk-doc (broken for unknown reason)
e9fd44b7 292
b44be3ec
LP
293* fstab: add new mount option x-systemd-after=/foobar/waldo to allow manual dependencies to other mount points
294 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=812826
3040728b 295
b44be3ec 296* print a nicer explanation if people use variable/specifier expansion in ExecStart= for the first word
8ed20651 297
b44be3ec 298* mount: turn dependency information from /proc/self/mountinfo into dependency information between systemd units.
e6c6e7af 299
b44be3ec
LP
300* logind:
301 - logind: optionally, ignore idle-hint logic for autosuspend, block suspend as long as a session is around
302 - When we update the kernel all kind of hibernation should be prohibited until shutdown/reboot
303 - logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
304 - Add pretty name for seats in logind
305 - logind: allow showing logout dialog from system?
306 - logind: spawn user@..service on login
307 - logind: non-local X11 server handling
308 - logind: add equivalent to sd_pid_get_owner_uid() to the D-Bus API
b44be3ec 309 - pam: when leaving a session explicitly exclude the ReleaseSession() caller process from the killing spree
eb124a97 310 - logind: GetSessionByPID() should accept 0 as PID value
e5ec62c5 311 - we should probably handle SIGTERM/SIGINT to not leave dot files around, just in case
e673ad04 312
b44be3ec 313* exec: when deinitializating a tty device fix the perms and group, too, not only when initializing. Set access mode/gid to 0620/tty.
e673ad04 314
b44be3ec 315* DeviceAllow/DeviceDeny: disallow everything by default, but whitelist /dev/zero, /dev/null and friends
e673ad04 316
b44be3ec 317* service: watchdog logic: for testing purposes allow ping, but do not require pong
e673ad04 318
b44be3ec 319* journal:
b87b8b2b
KS
320 - do not use magic msync() in src/journal/journal-file.c, just call fsync()
321 <alxchk> poettering: looks like msync just calls vfs_fsync
322 http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/mm/msync.c#n18
c06bf414 323 - import and delete pstore filesystem content at startup
b44be3ec
LP
324 - journald: also get thread ID from client, plus thread name
325 - journal: when waiting for journal additions in the client always sleep at least 1s or so, in order to minimize wakeups
326 - add API to close/reopen/get fd for journal client fd in libsystemd-journal.
327 - fallback to /dev/log based logging in libsystemd-journal, if we can't log natively?
328 - declare the local journal protocol stable in the wiki interface chart
329 - journal: reuse XZ context
330 - sd-journal: speed up sd_journal_get_data() with transparent hash table in bg
331 - journald: when dropping msgs due to ratelimit make sure to write
332 "dropped %u messages" not only when we are about to print the next
333 message that works, but alraedy after a short tiemout
334 - check if we can make journalctl by default use --follow mode inside of less if called without args?
335 - maybe add API to send pairs of iovecs via sd_journal_send
336 - journal: when writing journal auto-rotate if time jumps backwards
f47ec8eb 337 - journal: add a setgid "systemd-journal" utility to invoke from libsystemd-journal, which passes fds via STDOUT and does PK access
b44be3ec
LP
338 - journactl: support negative filtering, i.e. FOOBAR!="waldo",
339 and !FOOBAR for events without FOOBAR.
340 - journal: when rotating, copy over old acls/access mode
b44be3ec 341 - journal: send out marker messages every now and then, and immediately sync with fdatasync() afterwards, in order to have hourly guaranteed syncs.
b44be3ec
LP
342 - 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.
343 - journal: find a way to allow dropping history early, based on priority, other rules
344 - journal: When used on NFS, check payload hashes
b44be3ec 345 - journald: check whether it is OK if the client can still modify delivered journal entries
f47ec8eb 346 - journal live copy, based on libneon (client) and libmicrohttpd (server)
b44be3ec
LP
347 - journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
348 - refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
349 - journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
350 - journal: deal nicely with byte-by-byte copied files, especially regards header
77a9e8de 351 - journalctl: expand tabs
b44be3ec
LP
352 - journal: store euid in journal if it differs from uid
353 - journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the components would fit
601d9d6f
JT
354 - Replace utmp, wtmp, btmp, and lastlog completely with journal
355 - Port upower to use the journal for historical power information used in future calculations
b44be3ec
LP
356
357* document:
358 - document unit_name_mangle()
359 - document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fileds in
360 [Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
361 - man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
362 - Document word splitting syntax for ExecStart= and friends
363 - document that units from /etc override those from /usr and /run
364 - document the exit codes when services fail before they are exec()ed
b44be3ec 365 - document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
eb124a97 366 - document in wiki how to map ical recurrence events to systemd timer unit calendar specifications
b44be3ec
LP
367
368* systemctl:
369 - systemctl list-jobs - show dependencies
370 - add systemctl switch to dump transaction without executing it
371 - Add a verbose mode to "systemctl start" and friends that explains what is being done or not done
372 - "systemctl disable" on a static unit prints no message and does
373 nothing. "systemctl enable" does nothing, and gives a bad message
374 about it. Should fix both to print nice actionable messages.
375 - print nice message from systemctl --failed if there are no entries shown, and hook that into ExecStartPre of rescue.service/emergency.service
376 - add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
377 - systemctl enable: improve the success messages (i.e. more human readable, less shell-like)
378 - systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into doesn't exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
379 - systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
380 - support "systemctl stop foobar@.service" to stop all units matching a certain template
381 - Something is wrong with symlink handling of "autovt@.service" in "systemctl list-unit-files"
8b04b925 382
e673ad04
LP
383* introduce ntp.service (or suchlike) as symlink that is used to arbitrate between various NTP implementations
384
b44be3ec
LP
385* deal with sendmail/postfix exclusivity
386
387* timer units:
388 - configurable jitter for timer events

506 being properly synchronous we just keep open the fd and close it
edca2e23 507 when done. That means clients don't get a successful method reply,
