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
4a449ed7
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
b454b112
LP
39* maybe add a generator that looks for "systemd.run=" on the kernel cmdline for container usercases...
40
41* timedatctl, localectl: possibly make some commands work without the daemon, for chroot situations...
42
43* nspawn: expose init PID and UUID as cgroup EAs
44
45* logind: consider making suspend inhibitor locks non-session specific, but keep suspend-key inhibitor locks session specific
46
4a449ed7 47* logind: add Suspend() bus calls which take timestamps to fix double suspend issues when somebody hits suspend and closes laptop quickly.
75512303 48
4a449ed7
LP
49* we need dynamic units
50
51* nss-myhostname should also resolve 'localhost' so that /etc/hosts becomes optional.
d8d3d8a7 52
4a449ed7
LP
53* add s.th. like "systemctl set-log-level debug"
54
55* sd-login: allow enumerating machines and add inotify iface
4ff49cb6 56
4a449ed7 57* move session owner code from sd-login.c to cgroup-util.c
4ff49cb6
LP
58
59* cgroup-util: verify syntax of cgroup controllers
60
61* cgtop: make cgtop useful in a container
62
63* make sure cg_pid_get_path() works properly for co-mounted controllers
64
65* nspawn: ensure syntax of --uuid= argument is correct
66
a53824ea
LP
67* explicitly disallow changing the cgroup path of units in the
68 name=systemd hierarchy, unless it is outside of /system
69
b8b4d3dd
LP
70* add 'set -e' to scripts in test/
71* make test in test/ work with separate output dir
72
73* suppress log output on shutdown when "quiet" is used
74
75* systemctl delete x.snapshot leaves no trace in logs (at least at default level).
76
3df82d5a
LP
77* make the coredump collector tool move itself into the user's cgroup
78 so that the coredump is properly written to the user's own journal
79 file.
80
5666ea6f
KS
81* move /usr/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/modules.devname parsing from udevd to
82 kmod static-nodes
83 call kmod as an early service, and drop CAP_MKNOD from udevd.service
a9602630 84
b6b7d433
LP
85* systemd-delta needs to be made aware of *.d/*.conf drop-in files for
86 units.
87
b5c03638
LP
88* seems that when we follow symlinks to units we prefer the symlink
89 destination path over /etc and /usr. We shouldn't do that. Instead
90 /etc should always override /run+/usr and also any symlink
91 destination.
92
752beb0c
LP
93* remove duplicate default deps logic from fstab-generator vs. mount.c
94
eece8c6f
LP
95* when isolating, try to figure out a way how we implicitly can order
96 all units we stop before the isolating unit...
97
d325d9bc
KS
98* teach udev + logind's uaccess to somehow handle the "dead" device nodes from:
99 /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/modules.devname
100 and apply ACLs to them if they have TAG=="uaccess" in udev rules.
3679d112 101
64e30145
LP
102* matching against units is currently broken in journalctl. We really
103 need another AND level in the expressions,
104 i.e. sd_journal_add_conjunction().
105
356ce991
LP
106* add ConditionArchitecture= or so
107
108* teach ConditionKernelCommandLine= globs or regexes (in order to match foobar={no,0,off})
109
bfa00bc6
LP
110* we should log capabilities too
111
3b953d68
JT
112* Support SO_REUSEPORT with socket activation:
113 - Let systemd maintain a pool of servers.
114 - Use for seamless upgrades, by running the new server before stopping the
115 old.
116
09f727ee
LP
117* after all byte-wise realloc() is slow, even on glibc, so i guess we
118 need manual exponential loops after all
119
795607b2
LP
120* BootLoaderSpec: drop allowing ext234 for $BOOT. Clarify that the
121 kernel has to be in $BOOT. Clarify that the boot loader should be
122 installed to the ESP. Define a way how an installer can figure out
123 whether a BLS compliant boot loader is installed.
124
795607b2
LP
125* man: remove .include documentation, and instead push people to use .d/*.conf
126
127* disallow .include from included files
128
247c873b
LP
129* safe_atod() is too naive, as it is vulnerable to locale parameters, should be locale independent.
130
0be8342c
LP
131* think about requeuing jobs when daemon-reload is issued? usecase:
132 the initrd issues a reload after fstab from the host is accessible
133 and we might want to requeue the mounts local-fs acquired through
134 that automatically.
135
6bc80e94
LP
136* neither pkexec nor sudo initialize environ[] from the PAM environment?
137
487060c2
LP
138* rework specifier logic so that we can distuingish OOM errors from other errors
139
e5ec62c5 140* systemd-inhibit: make taking delay locks useful: support sending SIGINT or SIGTERM on PrepareForSleep()
54c31a79 141
826872b6
LP
142* journal-or-kmsg is currently broken? See reverted commit 4a01181e460686d8b4a543b1dfa7f77c9e3c5ab8.
143
54c31a79 144* remove any syslog support from log.c -- we probably can't do this before split-off udev is gone for good
826872b6 145
e5ec62c5 146* fedora: connect the timer units of a service to the service via Also= in [Install]
3679d112
LP
147
148* fedora: F20: go timer units all the way, leave cron.daily for cron
149
150* add a tool that lists active timer units plus their next elapstion and the time the units ran last
151
152* man: document the very specific env the shutdown drop-in tools live in
153
154* shutdown logging: store to EFI var, and store to USB stick?
155
156* man: extend runlevel(8) to mention that runlevels suck, and are dead. Maybe add runlevel(7) with a note about that too
157
158* systemctl: maybe add "systemctl add-wants" or so...
159
160* man: add a link to socket activation blog from systemd.socket(5)
161
3679d112
LP
162* man: add more examples to man pages
163
164* man: maybe sort directives in man pages, and take sections from --help and apply them to man too
165
3679d112
LP
166* add "# export SYSTEMD_PAGER=" to bash login
167
168* /usr/bin/service should actually show the new command line
169
170* 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=
171
172* write UI tool that pops up emergency messages from the journal as notification
173
174* think about window-manager-run-as-user-service problem: exit 0 → activate shutdown.target; exit != 0 → restart service
175
176* msgcatalog determine default language of entries from the catalog
177 file name. i.e. foobar.de_DE.catalog would set the default entry
178 name for the entries to de_DE if they aren't explicitly suffixed
179 individually.
180
cbb77121
LP
181* use "log level" rather than "log priority" everywhere
182
dd359de8
LP
183* ensure sd_journal_seek_monotonic actually works properly.
184
d01a73b6
LP
185* timedate: have global on/off switches for auto-time (NTP), and auto-timezone that connman can subscribe to.
186
990ffbe5 187* Honour "-" prefix for InaccessibleDirectories= and ReadOnlyDirectories= to
f8aeee1f
LP
188 suppress errors of the specified path doesn't exist
189
190* dev-setup.c: when running in a container, create a tiny stub udev
191 database with the systemd tag set for all network interfaces found,
192 so that libudev reports them as present, and systemd's .device units
193 will be activated.
194
356ce991 195* merge unit_kill_common() and unit_kill_context()
490b7e47 196
81d112a8 197* introduce ExecCondition= in services
490b7e47 198
b44be3ec
LP
199* EFI:
200 - fsck hookup for the ESP mount is missing
201 - write man page for efi boot generator
b44be3ec
LP
202 - honor language efi variables for default language selection (if there are any?)
203 - honor timezone efi variables for default timezone selection (if there are any?)
204 - introduce bootctl (backed by systemd-bootd) to control temporary and persistent default boot goal plus efi variables
e4181484 205
c0fe5db5 206* maybe do not install getty@tty1.service symlink in /etc but in /usr?
e9fd44b7 207
b44be3ec 208* re-enable "make check" for gtk-doc (broken for unknown reason)
e9fd44b7 209
b44be3ec
LP
210* fstab: add new mount option x-systemd-after=/foobar/waldo to allow manual dependencies to other mount points
211 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=812826
3040728b 212
b44be3ec 213* print a nicer explanation if people use variable/specifier expansion in ExecStart= for the first word
8ed20651 214
b44be3ec 215* mount: turn dependency information from /proc/self/mountinfo into dependency information between systemd units.
e6c6e7af 216
b44be3ec
LP
217* logind:
218 - logind: optionally, ignore idle-hint logic for autosuspend, block suspend as long as a session is around
219 - When we update the kernel all kind of hibernation should be prohibited until shutdown/reboot
220 - logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
221 - Add pretty name for seats in logind
222 - logind: allow showing logout dialog from system?
223 - logind: spawn user@..service on login
224 - logind: non-local X11 server handling
225 - logind: add equivalent to sd_pid_get_owner_uid() to the D-Bus API
b44be3ec 226 - pam: when leaving a session explicitly exclude the ReleaseSession() caller process from the killing spree
eb124a97 227 - logind: GetSessionByPID() should accept 0 as PID value
e5ec62c5 228 - we should probably handle SIGTERM/SIGINT to not leave dot files around, just in case
e673ad04 229
b44be3ec 230* exec: when deinitializating a tty device fix the perms and group, too, not only when initializing. Set access mode/gid to 0620/tty.
e673ad04 231
b44be3ec 232* DeviceAllow/DeviceDeny: disallow everything by default, but whitelist /dev/zero, /dev/null and friends
e673ad04 233
b44be3ec 234* service: watchdog logic: for testing purposes allow ping, but do not require pong
e673ad04 235
b44be3ec 236* journal:
b87b8b2b
KS
237 - do not use magic msync() in src/journal/journal-file.c, just call fsync()
238 <alxchk> poettering: looks like msync just calls vfs_fsync
239 http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/mm/msync.c#n18
c06bf414 240 - import and delete pstore filesystem content at startup
b44be3ec
LP
241 - journald: also get thread ID from client, plus thread name
242 - journal: when waiting for journal additions in the client always sleep at least 1s or so, in order to minimize wakeups
243 - add API to close/reopen/get fd for journal client fd in libsystemd-journal.
244 - fallback to /dev/log based logging in libsystemd-journal, if we can't log natively?
245 - declare the local journal protocol stable in the wiki interface chart
246 - journal: reuse XZ context
247 - sd-journal: speed up sd_journal_get_data() with transparent hash table in bg
248 - journald: when dropping msgs due to ratelimit make sure to write
249 "dropped %u messages" not only when we are about to print the next
250 message that works, but alraedy after a short tiemout
251 - check if we can make journalctl by default use --follow mode inside of less if called without args?
252 - maybe add API to send pairs of iovecs via sd_journal_send
253 - journal: when writing journal auto-rotate if time jumps backwards
254 - gatewayd: should run under its own UID
f47ec8eb 255 - journal: add a setgid "systemd-journal" utility to invoke from libsystemd-journal, which passes fds via STDOUT and does PK access
b44be3ec
LP
256 - journactl: support negative filtering, i.e. FOOBAR!="waldo",
257 and !FOOBAR for events without FOOBAR.
258 - journal: when rotating, copy over old acls/access mode
b44be3ec 259 - journal: send out marker messages every now and then, and immediately sync with fdatasync() afterwards, in order to have hourly guaranteed syncs.
b44be3ec
LP
260 - 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.
261 - journal: find a way to allow dropping history early, based on priority, other rules
262 - journal: When used on NFS, check payload hashes
263 - journal: When used on NFS make sure wake up sd_journal_wait() every 2s, to handle missing inotify
b44be3ec
LP
264 - Introduce journalctl -b <nr> to show journal messages of a previous boot
265 - journald: check whether it is OK if the client can still modify delivered journal entries
f47ec8eb 266 - journal live copy, based on libneon (client) and libmicrohttpd (server)
b44be3ec
LP
267 - journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
268 - refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
269 - journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
270 - journal: deal nicely with byte-by-byte copied files, especially regards header
271 - journalctl: show multiline log messages sanely, expand tabs, and show all valid utf8 messages
272 - journal: store euid in journal if it differs from uid
273 - journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the components would fit
2e4015f3 274 - 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
275
276* document:
277 - document unit_name_mangle()
278 - document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fileds in
279 [Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
280 - man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
281 - Document word splitting syntax for ExecStart= and friends
282 - document that units from /etc override those from /usr and /run
283 - document the exit codes when services fail before they are exec()ed
b44be3ec 284 - document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
eb124a97 285 - document in wiki how to map ical recurrence events to systemd timer unit calendar specifications
b44be3ec
LP
286
287* systemctl:
288 - systemctl list-jobs - show dependencies
289 - add systemctl switch to dump transaction without executing it
290 - Add a verbose mode to "systemctl start" and friends that explains what is being done or not done
291 - "systemctl disable" on a static unit prints no message and does
292 nothing. "systemctl enable" does nothing, and gives a bad message
293 about it. Should fix both to print nice actionable messages.
294 - print nice message from systemctl --failed if there are no entries shown, and hook that into ExecStartPre of rescue.service/emergency.service
295 - add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
296 - systemctl enable: improve the success messages (i.e. more human readable, less shell-like)
297 - systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into doesn't exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
298 - systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
299 - support "systemctl stop foobar@.service" to stop all units matching a certain template
300 - Something is wrong with symlink handling of "autovt@.service" in "systemctl list-unit-files"
7ba97195
ZJS
301 - add configuration/switches to use
302 freeze (http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git) and
303 standby (https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=57793) as suspend modes
8b04b925 304
e673ad04
LP
305* introduce ntp.service (or suchlike) as symlink that is used to arbitrate between various NTP implementations
306
b44be3ec
LP
307* deal with sendmail/postfix exclusivity
308
309* timer units:
310 - configurable jitter for timer events
311 - timer events with system resume
312 - timer units should get the ability to trigger when:
313 o CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (TFD_TIMER_CANCEL_ON_SET)
314 o DST changes
eb124a97 315 - Support 2012-02~4 as syntax for specifying the fourth to last day of the month.
d2e83c23
KS
316
317* update the kernel's TZ (sys_tz) when DST changes
318
319* sync down the system time to the RTC when:
f6113d42
KS
320 - CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (the user explicitely requested a time set)
321 - DST/timezone changes && ntp is active && RTC-in-localtime (never do it without ntp)
d2e83c23 322 This takes care of syncing ntpdate updates to the RTC, and DST updates for localtime
7a43e910 323 mode, it will never touch the RTC if the no reliable time source is active or the
d2e83c23 324 user did not request anything like it.
c55b1b59 325
6c1703cc
KS
326* hwdb:
327 - implement conditional properties (dmi matches)
328 - hwdb --filter=ID_DRIVE_*
08f95888 329
59704f3e
LP
330* if booted in "quiet" mode, and an error happens, turn on status
331 output again, so that the emergency mode isn't totally
332 surprising. Also, terminate plymouth.
9ec82de1 333
e707c494
LP
334* libunwind support for coredump pattern hook, and includes this in
335 the message for coredumps. After all, libunwind is now capable to
336 unwind coredumps since a few weeks ago. This probably requires that
7f873283
LP
337 we have nice support for multi-line messages on display in
338 logs-show.c. Alternatively: use libelfutil, which seems to be the
339 better supported alternative.
e707c494 340
e707c494
LP
341* figure out relation of --all and --full in the various tools
342
a19554ed
LP
343* add libsystemd-password or so to query passwords during boot using the password agent logic
344
1cb88f2c
LP
345* 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().
346
347* fedup: add --unit to systemctl switch-root somehow
348* fedup: don't delete initrd on switch-root
349* fedup: generator
603cd8fe 350
b44be3ec 351* timedated:
b44be3ec 352 - timedated: refuse time changes when NTP is on
6d0274f1 353
a7a3f28b
LP
354* clean up date formatting and parsing so that all absolute/relative timestamps we format can also be parsed
355
9b27910b
LP
356* introduce generic AUGMENT_PID=, AUGMENT_DEVICE= fields
357
b44be3ec 358* on shutdown: move utmp, wall, audit logic all into PID 1 (or logind?), get rid of systemd-update-utmp-runlevel
08f95888 359
7d8197d1
KS
360* add "provisioning" instructions to setup an empty /etc + /var
361 - used to setup a new container from a shared /usr
362 - superset of tmpfiles model
363 - instructions shipped by packages and stored in /usr/lib/
364 - compose /etc/passwd and /etc/group, copy files
365 - able to create uid + gid used by packages, for file ownership
366
9ee58bdd
KS
367* make repeated alt-ctrl-del presses printing a dump, or even force a reboot without
368 waiting for the timeout
dcfc4b2e 369
71ef24d0
LP
370* high level net_prio setting in execution context
371
71ef24d0
LP
372* hostnamed: before returning information from /etc/machine-info.conf check the modification data and reread. Similar for localed, ...
373
1b89884b
LP
374* currently x-systemd.timeout is lost in the initrd, since crypttab is copied into dracut, but fstab isn't
375
1920e37e
LP
376* WorkingDirectory: support env var replacements like in ExecStart= so that people can use $HOME
377
15abdb9a 378* refuse boot if /etc/machine-id is not useful (or set taint?)
1920e37e 379
b44be3ec
LP
380* nspawn:
381 - nspawn: consider changing users for -u with su, so that NSS resolving works correctly
382 - nspawn: implement personality changes a la linux32(8)
383 - nspawn: --read-only is not applied recursively to submounts
384 - nspawn: make use of device cgroup controller by default
385 - bind mount read-only the cgroup tree higher than nspawn
eb124a97
LP
