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.

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.

a4cc3e5c
LP
18* external: maybe it is time to patch procps so that "ps" links to
19 libsystemd-logind to print a pretty service name, seat name, session
20 name in its output. Currently it only shows cgroup membership, but
0028da22 21 that's sometimes kinda hard to parse for a human.
a4cc3e5c 22
7e2c2bcf 23* cgroup attrs:
f0c15f28 24 - update dbus interface docs in wiki
7b4da18c 25
81d112a8 26* localed:
81d112a8
LP
27 - localectl: support new converted x11→console keymaps
28
eb124a97 29Features:
154ff088 30
1f263d4d
LP
31* document logic of auto/noauto and fail/nofail in fstab in systemd.mount or systemd-fstab-generator man page
32
33* we should properly escape hostnames we add into dbus server strings
34
35* something pulls in pcre as so dep into our daemons such as hostnamed.
36
4e09014d
LP
37* cgroup-agent: downgrade error messages
38
39* document systemd-journal-flush.service properly
40
41* chane systemd-journal-flush into a service that stays around during
42 boot, and causes the journal to be moved back to /run on shutdown,
43 so that we don't keep /var busy. This needs to happen synchronously,
44 hence doing this via signals is not going to work.
45
46* allow implementation of InaccessibleDirectories=/ plus
47 ReadOnlyDirectories=... for whitelisting files for a service.
48
d5a2b9a6
LP
49* libsystemd-journal:
50 - return ECHILD as soon as somebody tries to reuse a journal object across a fork()
51
eb01ba5d
LP
52* libsystemd-bus:
53 - default policy (allow uid == 0 and our own uid)
54 - enforce alignment of pointers passed in
eb01ba5d 55 - when kdbus doesn't take our message without memfds, try again with memfds
eb01ba5d
LP
56 - implement translator service
57 - port systemd to new library
58 - implement busname unit type in systemd
59 - move to gvariant
eb01ba5d 60 - merge busctl into systemctl or so?
e4ee6e5c 61 - synthesize sd_bus_message objects from kernel messages
c7819669 62 - properly implement name registry ioctls for kdbus
86312ab8
LP
63 - get rid of object hash table, use decision tree everyhwere instead?
64 - implement monitor logic
65 - object vtable logic
66 - longer term:
67 * priority queues
86312ab8 68 * priority inheritance
eb01ba5d 69
154ff088
LP
70* in the final killing spree, detect processes from the root directory, and
71 complain loudly if they have argv[0][0] == '@' set.
72 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=961044
73
7e853a9b
LP
74* add an option to nspawn that uses seccomp to make socket(AF_NETLINK,
75 SOCK_RAW, NETLINK_AUDIT) fail the the appropriate error code that
76 makes the audit userspace to think auditing is not available in the
77 kernel.
78
d686f034
LP
79* Introduce a way how we can kill the main process of a service with KillSignal, but all processes with SIGKILL later on
80 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=952634
81
19aa7c4f
LP
82* maybe add a warning to the unit file parses whern the acces mode of unit files is non-sensical.
83
aa96c6cb 84* investigate endianess issues of UUID vs. GUID
e8a7a315 85
461bd8e4
LP
86* dbus: when a unit failed to load (i.e. is in UNIT_ERROR state), we
87 should be able to safely try another attempt when the bus call LoadUnit() is invoked.
88
ab8e074c
LP
89* if pam_systemd is invoked by su from a process that is outside of a
90 any session we should probably just become a NOP, since that's
91 usually not a real user session but just some system code that just
92 needs setuid().
93
94* add a pam module that passes the hdd passphrase into the PAM stack and then expires it, for usage by gdm auto-login.
95
96* add a pam module that on password changes updates any LUKS slot where the password matches
97
b454b112
LP
98* maybe add a generator that looks for "systemd.run=" on the kernel cmdline for container usercases...
99
100* timedatctl, localectl: possibly make some commands work without the daemon, for chroot situations...
101
4a449ed7 102* logind: add Suspend() bus calls which take timestamps to fix double suspend issues when somebody hits suspend and closes laptop quickly.
75512303 103
4a449ed7
LP
104* we need dynamic units
105
4ff49cb6
LP
106* cgtop: make cgtop useful in a container
107
fff87a35
ZJS
108* test/:
109 - add 'set -e' to scripts in test/
110 - make stuff in test/ work with separate output dir
111 - remove all the duplicated code in test/
b8b4d3dd
LP
112
113* suppress log output on shutdown when "quiet" is used
114
115* systemctl delete x.snapshot leaves no trace in logs (at least at default level).
116
3df82d5a
LP
117* make the coredump collector tool move itself into the user's cgroup
118 so that the coredump is properly written to the user's own journal
119 file.
120
5666ea6f
KS
121* move /usr/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/modules.devname parsing from udevd to
122 kmod static-nodes
123 call kmod as an early service, and drop CAP_MKNOD from udevd.service
a9602630 124
b5c03638
LP
125* seems that when we follow symlinks to units we prefer the symlink
126 destination path over /etc and /usr. We shouldn't do that. Instead
127 /etc should always override /run+/usr and also any symlink
128 destination.
129
752beb0c
LP
130* remove duplicate default deps logic from fstab-generator vs. mount.c
131
eece8c6f
LP
132* when isolating, try to figure out a way how we implicitly can order
133 all units we stop before the isolating unit...
134
d325d9bc
KS
135* teach udev + logind's uaccess to somehow handle the "dead" device nodes from:
136 /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/modules.devname
137 and apply ACLs to them if they have TAG=="uaccess" in udev rules.
3679d112 138
356ce991
LP
139* add ConditionArchitecture= or so
140
141* teach ConditionKernelCommandLine= globs or regexes (in order to match foobar={no,0,off})
142
bfa00bc6
LP
143* we should log capabilities too
144
3b953d68
JT
145* Support SO_REUSEPORT with socket activation:
146 - Let systemd maintain a pool of servers.
147 - Use for seamless upgrades, by running the new server before stopping the
148 old.
149
09f727ee
LP
150* after all byte-wise realloc() is slow, even on glibc, so i guess we
151 need manual exponential loops after all
152
795607b2
LP
153* BootLoaderSpec: drop allowing ext234 for $BOOT. Clarify that the
154 kernel has to be in $BOOT. Clarify that the boot loader should be
155 installed to the ESP. Define a way how an installer can figure out
156 whether a BLS compliant boot loader is installed.
157
795607b2
LP
158* man: remove .include documentation, and instead push people to use .d/*.conf
159
0be8342c
LP
160* think about requeuing jobs when daemon-reload is issued? usecase:
161 the initrd issues a reload after fstab from the host is accessible
162 and we might want to requeue the mounts local-fs acquired through
163 that automatically.
164
487060c2
LP
165* rework specifier logic so that we can distuingish OOM errors from other errors
166
e5ec62c5 167* systemd-inhibit: make taking delay locks useful: support sending SIGINT or SIGTERM on PrepareForSleep()
54c31a79 168
826872b6
LP
169* journal-or-kmsg is currently broken? See reverted commit 4a01181e460686d8b4a543b1dfa7f77c9e3c5ab8.
170
54c31a79 171* remove any syslog support from log.c -- we probably can't do this before split-off udev is gone for good
826872b6 172
8973790e 173* documentation: recommend to connect the timer units of a service to the service via Also= in [Install]
3679d112
LP
174
175* add a tool that lists active timer units plus their next elapstion and the time the units ran last
176
177* man: document the very specific env the shutdown drop-in tools live in
178
179* shutdown logging: store to EFI var, and store to USB stick?
180
181* man: extend runlevel(8) to mention that runlevels suck, and are dead. Maybe add runlevel(7) with a note about that too
182
183* systemctl: maybe add "systemctl add-wants" or so...
184
3679d112
LP
185* man: add more examples to man pages
186
187* man: maybe sort directives in man pages, and take sections from --help and apply them to man too
188
3679d112
LP
189* write UI tool that pops up emergency messages from the journal as notification
190
191* think about window-manager-run-as-user-service problem: exit 0 → activate shutdown.target; exit != 0 → restart service
192
193* msgcatalog determine default language of entries from the catalog
194 file name. i.e. foobar.de_DE.catalog would set the default entry
195 name for the entries to de_DE if they aren't explicitly suffixed
196 individually.
197
cbb77121
LP
198* use "log level" rather than "log priority" everywhere
199
d01a73b6
LP
200* timedate: have global on/off switches for auto-time (NTP), and auto-timezone that connman can subscribe to.
201
990ffbe5 202* Honour "-" prefix for InaccessibleDirectories= and ReadOnlyDirectories= to
f8aeee1f
LP
203 suppress errors of the specified path doesn't exist
204
205* dev-setup.c: when running in a container, create a tiny stub udev
206 database with the systemd tag set for all network interfaces found,
207 so that libudev reports them as present, and systemd's .device units
208 will be activated.
209
356ce991 210* merge unit_kill_common() and unit_kill_context()
490b7e47 211
81d112a8 212* introduce ExecCondition= in services
490b7e47 213
b44be3ec
LP
214* EFI:
215 - fsck hookup for the ESP mount is missing
216 - write man page for efi boot generator
b44be3ec
LP
217 - honor language efi variables for default language selection (if there are any?)
218 - honor timezone efi variables for default timezone selection (if there are any?)
219 - introduce bootctl (backed by systemd-bootd) to control temporary and persistent default boot goal plus efi variables
e4181484 220
c0fe5db5 221* maybe do not install getty@tty1.service symlink in /etc but in /usr?
e9fd44b7 222
b44be3ec 223* re-enable "make check" for gtk-doc (broken for unknown reason)
e9fd44b7 224
b44be3ec
LP
225* fstab: add new mount option x-systemd-after=/foobar/waldo to allow manual dependencies to other mount points
226 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=812826
3040728b 227
b44be3ec 228* print a nicer explanation if people use variable/specifier expansion in ExecStart= for the first word
8ed20651 229
b44be3ec 230* mount: turn dependency information from /proc/self/mountinfo into dependency information between systemd units.
e6c6e7af 231
b44be3ec
LP
232* logind:
233 - logind: optionally, ignore idle-hint logic for autosuspend, block suspend as long as a session is around
234 - When we update the kernel all kind of hibernation should be prohibited until shutdown/reboot
235 - logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
236 - Add pretty name for seats in logind
237 - logind: allow showing logout dialog from system?
238 - logind: spawn user@..service on login
239 - logind: non-local X11 server handling
240 - logind: add equivalent to sd_pid_get_owner_uid() to the D-Bus API
b44be3ec 241 - pam: when leaving a session explicitly exclude the ReleaseSession() caller process from the killing spree
eb124a97 242 - logind: GetSessionByPID() should accept 0 as PID value
e5ec62c5 243 - we should probably handle SIGTERM/SIGINT to not leave dot files around, just in case
e673ad04 244
b44be3ec 245* exec: when deinitializating a tty device fix the perms and group, too, not only when initializing. Set access mode/gid to 0620/tty.
e673ad04 246
b44be3ec 247* DeviceAllow/DeviceDeny: disallow everything by default, but whitelist /dev/zero, /dev/null and friends
e673ad04 248
b44be3ec 249* service: watchdog logic: for testing purposes allow ping, but do not require pong
e673ad04 250
b44be3ec 251* journal:
b87b8b2b
KS
252 - do not use magic msync() in src/journal/journal-file.c, just call fsync()
253 <alxchk> poettering: looks like msync just calls vfs_fsync
254 http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/mm/msync.c#n18
c06bf414 255 - import and delete pstore filesystem content at startup
b44be3ec
LP
256 - journald: also get thread ID from client, plus thread name
257 - journal: when waiting for journal additions in the client always sleep at least 1s or so, in order to minimize wakeups
258 - add API to close/reopen/get fd for journal client fd in libsystemd-journal.
259 - fallback to /dev/log based logging in libsystemd-journal, if we can't log natively?
260 - declare the local journal protocol stable in the wiki interface chart
261 - journal: reuse XZ context
262 - sd-journal: speed up sd_journal_get_data() with transparent hash table in bg
263 - journald: when dropping msgs due to ratelimit make sure to write
264 "dropped %u messages" not only when we are about to print the next
265 message that works, but alraedy after a short tiemout
266 - check if we can make journalctl by default use --follow mode inside of less if called without args?
267 - maybe add API to send pairs of iovecs via sd_journal_send
268 - journal: when writing journal auto-rotate if time jumps backwards
f47ec8eb 269 - journal: add a setgid "systemd-journal" utility to invoke from libsystemd-journal, which passes fds via STDOUT and does PK access
b44be3ec
LP
270 - journactl: support negative filtering, i.e. FOOBAR!="waldo",
271 and !FOOBAR for events without FOOBAR.
272 - journal: when rotating, copy over old acls/access mode
b44be3ec 273 - journal: send out marker messages every now and then, and immediately sync with fdatasync() afterwards, in order to have hourly guaranteed syncs.
b44be3ec
LP
274 - 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.
275 - journal: find a way to allow dropping history early, based on priority, other rules
276 - journal: When used on NFS, check payload hashes
b44be3ec
LP
277 - Introduce journalctl -b <nr> to show journal messages of a previous boot
278 - journald: check whether it is OK if the client can still modify delivered journal entries
f47ec8eb 279 - journal live copy, based on libneon (client) and libmicrohttpd (server)
b44be3ec
LP
280 - journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
281 - refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
282 - journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
283 - journal: deal nicely with byte-by-byte copied files, especially regards header
284 - journalctl: show multiline log messages sanely, expand tabs, and show all valid utf8 messages
285 - journal: store euid in journal if it differs from uid
286 - journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the components would fit
601d9d6f
JT
287 - Replace utmp, wtmp, btmp, and lastlog completely with journal
288 - Port upower to use the journal for historical power information used in future calculations
b44be3ec
LP
289
290* document:
291 - document unit_name_mangle()
292 - document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fileds in
293 [Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
294 - man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
295 - Document word splitting syntax for ExecStart= and friends
296 - document that units from /etc override those from /usr and /run
297 - document the exit codes when services fail before they are exec()ed
b44be3ec 298 - document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
eb124a97 299 - document in wiki how to map ical recurrence events to systemd timer unit calendar specifications
b44be3ec
LP
300
301* systemctl:
302 - systemctl list-jobs - show dependencies
303 - add systemctl switch to dump transaction without executing it
304 - Add a verbose mode to "systemctl start" and friends that explains what is being done or not done
305 - "systemctl disable" on a static unit prints no message and does
306 nothing. "systemctl enable" does nothing, and gives a bad message
307 about it. Should fix both to print nice actionable messages.
308 - print nice message from systemctl --failed if there are no entries shown, and hook that into ExecStartPre of rescue.service/emergency.service
309 - add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
310 - systemctl enable: improve the success messages (i.e. more human readable, less shell-like)
311 - systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into doesn't exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
312 - systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
313 - support "systemctl stop foobar@.service" to stop all units matching a certain template
314 - Something is wrong with symlink handling of "autovt@.service" in "systemctl list-unit-files"
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
386
15abdb9a 387* refuse boot if /etc/machine-id is not useful (or set taint?)
1920e37e 388
b44be3ec
LP

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

655 in an ~30 minutes window. It does not adjust larger differences. Find a way
