afe3ab58 1Bugfixes:
c343be28 2
b3ae710c
ZJS
3* Should systemctl status \* work on all unit types, not just .service?
4
f957632b
KS
5* Dangling symlinks of .automount unit files in .wants/ directories, set up
6 automount points even when the original .automount file did not exist
7 anymore. Only the .mount unit was still around.
8
afe3ab58 9* ExecStart with unicode characters fails in strv_split_quoted:
d19e85f0
ZJS
10
11 [Service]
12 Environment=ONE='one' "TWO='two two' too" THREE=
13 ExecStart=/bin/python3 -c 'import sys;print(sys.argv)' $ONE $TWO $THREE
14
3e495a66
ZJS
15* When systemctl --host is used, underlying ssh connection can remain open.
16 bus_close does not kill children?
17
f38afcd0 18External:
f85857df 19
f38afcd0 20* Fedora: add an rpmlint check that verifies that all unit files in the RPM are listed in %systemd_post macros.
bafb15ba 21
83a1ff25
ZJS
22* wiki: update journal format documentation for lz4 additions
23
24* When lz4 gets an API for lz4 command output, make use of it to
25 compress coredumps in a way compatible with /usr/bin/lz4.
26
124f2f9b
LP
27Before 220:
28
124f2f9b
LP
29* fix userns support in nspawn, or remove it entirely
30
711e02cb 31* bus-proxy: GetConnectionSELinuxSecurityContext() is completely broken
61192f1d 32
fd6c2363 33Features:
47ee3ee0 34
fd6c2363 35* logind: follow PropertiesChanged state more closely, to deal with quick logouts and relogins
47ee3ee0 36
fd6c2363
LP
37* change to KillMode=mixed by default
38
39* introduce argv0contains=
5c5b7911 40
c2570ab9
LP
41* invent a better systemd-run scheme for naming scopes, that works with remoting
42
43* add journalctl -H that talks via ssh to a remote peer and passes through binary logs data
44
eba6fd30
ZJS
45* change journalctl -M to acquire fd to journal directory via machined, and then operate on that via openat() instead of absolute paths
46
47* add a version of --merge which also merges /var/log/journal/remote
c2570ab9
LP
48
49* log accumulated resource usage after each service invocation
50
d89e6475
LP
51* networkd: dhcp server: try to assign stable IP addresses based on client's MAC address
52
53* nspawn: a nice way to boot up without machine id set, so that it is set at boot automatically for supporting --ephemeral. Maybe hash the host machine id together with the machine name to generate the machine id for the container
54
e7e90a8e
LP
55* logind: rename session scope so that it includes the UID. THat way
56 the session scope can be arranged freely in slices and we don't have
57 make assumptions about their slice anymore.
f06944d6 58
d72bc597
LP
59* journalctl: -m should access container journals directly by enumerating them via machined, and also watch containers coming and going. Benefit: nspawn --ephemeral would start working nicely with the journal.
60
61* nspawn: don't copy /etc/resolv.conf from host into container unless we are in shared-network mode
62
63* nspawn: optionally automatically add FORWARD rules to iptables whenever nspawn is running, remove them when shut down.
64
65* importd: generate a nice warning if mkfs.btrfs is missing
66
07cc65c7
LP
67* nspawn: add a logic for cleaning up read-only, hidden container images in /var/lib/machines that are not ancestors of any non-hidden containers
68
69* nspawn: Improve error message when --bind= is used on a non-existing source directory
70
71* nspawn: maybe make copying of /etc/resolv.conf optional, and skip it if --read-only is used
72
73* man: document how update dkr images works with machinectl
74 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-February/028630.html
75
c2570ab9 76* nspawn: as soon as networkd has a bus interface, hook up --network-interface=, --network-bridge= with networkd, to trigger netdev creation should an interface be missing
0a021578 77
aea040c8
LP
78* networkd: make DHCP server IP range configurable, including only with a single IP address
79
17978b17
LP
80* rework C11 utf8.[ch] to use char32_t instead of uint32_t when referring
81 to unicode chars, to make things more expressive.
82
17978b17
LP
83* "machinectl migrate" or similar to copy a container from or to a
84 difference host, via ssh
85
48e6d6a6
LP
86* tmpfiles: creating new directories/subvolumes/fifos/device nodes
87 should not follow symlinks. None of the other adjustment or creation
88 calls follow symlinks.
89
8aa20381
LP
90* fstab-generator: default to tmpfs-as-root if only usr= is specified on the kernel cmdline
91
b18d23d7
LP
92* docs: bring http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/MyServiceCantGetRealtime up to date
93
449a22a5
LP
94* mounting and unmounting mount points manually with different source
95 devices will result in collected collected on all devices used.
96 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-April/030225.html
97
60d17b74
LP
98* add a job mode that will fail if a transaction would mean stopping
99 running units. Use this in timedated to manage the NTP service
100 state.
101 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-April/030229.html
102
2f653bde
LP
103* Maybe add support for the equivalent of "ethtool advertise" to .link files?
104 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-April/030112.html
105
ac749874
LP
106* .timer units should optionally support CLOCK_BOOTTIME in addition to CLOCK_MONOTONIC
107
7d417f0f
LP
108* create a btrfs qgroup for /var/lib/machines, and add all container
109 subvolumes we create to it.
110
e342b744
ZJS
111* When logging about multiple units (stopping BoundTo units, conflicts, etc.),
112 log both units as UNIT=, so that journalctl -u triggers on both.
113
036a4773
LP
114* to allow "linking" of nspawn containers, extend --network-bridge= so
115 that it can dynamically create bridge interfaces that are refcounted
116 by the containers on them. For each group of containers to link together
117
a88abde7
LP
118* journalctl --verify: don't show files that are currently being
119 written to as FAIL, but instead show that their are being written
120 to.
121
f93b36af
LP
122* assign MESSAGE_ID to log messages about failed services
123
20760dcf
LP
124* coredump: make the handler check /proc/$PID/rlimits for RLIMIT_CORE,
125 and supress coredump if turned off. Then change RLIMIT_CORE to
126 infinity by default for all services. This then allows per-service
127 control of coredumping.
128
df22b0bb
LP
129* generate better errors when people try to set transient properties
130 that are not supported...
131 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-February/028076.html
132
c0548228
LP
133* Introduce $LISTEN_NAMES to complement $LISTEN_FDS, containing a
134 colon separated list of identifiers for the fds passed.
135
73cb7754
LP
136* maybe introduce WantsMountsFor=? Usecase:
137 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-January/027729.html
138
84bef24d
LP
139* rework kexec logic to use new kexec_file_load() syscall, so that we
140 don't have to call kexec tool anymore.
141
477e75ef
LP
142* The udev blkid built-in should expose a property that reflects
143 whether media was sensed in USB CF/SD card readers. This should then
144 be used to control SYSTEMD_READY=1/0 so that USB card readers aren't
145 picked up by systemd unless they contain a medium. This would mirror
146 the behaviour we already have for CD drives.
147
7dfb0404
LP
148* nspawn: emulate /dev/kmsg using CUSE and turn off the syslog syscall
149 with seccomp. That should provide us with a useful log buffer that
150 systemd can log to during early boot, and disconnect container logs
151 from the kernel's logs.
152
2bc39683
LP
153* networkd/udev: implement SR_IOV configuration in .link files:
154 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-January/027451.html
155
687f6a0b
LP
156* When RLIMIT_NPROC is set from a unit file it currently always is set
157 for root, not for the user set in User=, which makes it
158 useless. After fixing this, set RLIMIT_NPROC for
159 systemd-journal-xyz, and all other of our services that run under
160 their own user ids, and use User= (but only in a world where userns
161 is ubiquitous since otherwise we cannot invoke those daemons on the
2bc39683
LP
162 host AND in a container anymore). Also, if LimitNPROC= is used
163 without User= we should warn and refuse operation.
687f6a0b 164
31a11e8f
LP
165* logind: maybe allow configuration of the StopTimeout for session scopes
166
41bc22f3 167* Set NoNewPrivileges= on all of our own services, where that makes sense
dbdee28b 168
17fe5614
LP
169* Rework systemctl's GetAll property parsing to use the generic bus_map_all_properties() API
170
171* rework journald sigbus stuff to use mutex
172
7687f85e
LP
173* import-dkr: support tarsum checksum verification, if it becomes reality one day...
174
175* import-dkr: convert json bits to nspawn configuration
176
c14db9b3
LP
177* core/cgroup: support net_cls modules, and support automatically allocating class ids, then add support for making firewall changes depending on it, to implement a per-service firewall
178
fa607802
LP
179* introduce systemd-nspawn-ephemeral@.service, and hook it into "machinectl start" with a new --ephemeral switch
180
fa607802 181* "machinectl status" should also show internal logs of the container in question
a47e6701 182
92ff080b 183* "machinectl list-images" should show os-release data, as well as machine-info data (including deployment level)
b80c66ba 184
bd69054b
LP
185* nspawn: when start a container "foobar" look for its configuration in a file "foobar.nspawn" in /etc/systemd/nspawn/ as well as next to the actualy directory or image to boot
186
c3a0d00d
LP
187* Port various tools to make use of verbs.[ch], where applicable
188
c3a0d00d
LP
189* "machinectl history"
190
191* "machinectl diff"
192
de146bb2
LP
193* "machinectl commit" that takes a writable snapshot of a tree, invokes a shell in it, and marks it read-only after use
194
de146bb2
LP
195* systemd-nspawn -x should support ephemeral instances of gpt images
196
c3a0d00d
LP
197* hostnamectl: show root image uuid
198
82e6c50c
LP
199* sysfs set api in libudev is not const
200
d2f81fb0
LP
201* Find a solution for SMACK capabilities stuff:
202 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-December/026188.html
98cd2651 203
b7307642
LP
204* port libmount hookup to use API's own inotify interface, as soon as that is table in libmount
205
2a441c8a
LP
206* "systemctl preset-all" should probably order the unit files it
207 operates on lexicographically before starting to work, in order to
208 ensure deterministic behaviour if two unit files conflict (like DMs
209 do, for example)
210
40ff4a4a
LP
211* resolved should optionally register additional per-interface LLMNR
212 names, so that for the container case we can establish the same name
213 (maybe "host") for referencing the server, everywhere.
214
0a86c1a9
LP
215* systemd-journal-upload (or a new, related tool): allow pushing out
216 journal messages onto the network in BSD syslog protocol,
f131770b 217 continuously. Default to some link-local IP mcast group, to make this
0a86c1a9
LP
218 useful as a one-stop debugging tool.
219
220* synchronize console access with BSD locks:
221 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-October/024582.html
222
223* as soon as we have kdbus, and sender timestamps, revisit coalescing multiple parallel daemon reloads:
224 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-December/025862.html
225
e3286870
LP
226* the install state probably shouldn't get confused by generated units, think dbus1/kdbus compat!
227
e3286870
LP
228* in systemctl list-unit-files: show the install value the presets would suggest for a service in a third column
229
8514b677
LP
230* figure out when we can use the coarse timers
231
6c78f43c
LP
232* sd-resolve: drop res_query wrapping, people should call via the bus to resolved instead
233
7b0fce61
LP
234* add "systemctl start -v foobar.service" that shows logs of a service
235 while the start command runs. This is non-trivial to do without
236 races though, since we should flush out all journal messages before
237 returning from the "systemctl stop".
238
b568ef14 239* firstboot: make it useful to be run immediately after yum --installroot to set up a machine. (most specifically, make --copy-root-password work even if /etc/passwd already exists
c2d5b3c9 240
264b8070
LP
241* timesyncd + resolved: add ugly bus calls to set NTP and DNS servers per-interface, for usage by NM
242
7e27f312
LP
243* add infrastructure to allocate dynamic/transient users and UID ranges, for use in user-namespaced containers, per-seat gdm login screens and gdm guest sessions
244
f81e67f7
LP
245* machined: add an API so that libvirt-lxc can inform us about network interfaces being removed or added to an existing machine
246
d48b7bd2
LP
247* maybe add support for specifier expansion in user.conf, specifically DefaultEnvironment=
248
25e14499
LP
249* code cleanup: retire FOREACH_WORD_QUOTED, port to unquote_first_word() loops instead
250
758c4d7a
LP
251* introduce systemd-timesync-wait.service or so to sync on an NTP fix?
252
821cc13d
LP
253* systemd --user should issue sd_notify() upon reaching basic.target, not on becoming idle
254
8483d73f
LP
255* consider showing the unit names during boot up in the status output, not just the unit descriptions
256
8483d73f
LP
257* dhcp: do we allow configuring dhcp routes on interfaces that are not the one we got the dhcp info from?
258
259* maybe allow timer units with an empty Units= setting, so that they
260 can be used for resuming the system but nothing else.
261
25e773ee 262* what to do about udev db binary stability for apps? (raw access is not an option)
b857e042 263
6dab5bb1
LP
264* maybe provide an API to allow migration of foreign PIDs into existing scopes.
265
384a4be2
LP
266* maybe support a new very "soft" reboot mode, that simply kills all processes, disassembles everything, flushes /run and sysvipc, and then reexecs systemd again
267
706d9750
LP
268* man: document that corrupted journal files is nothing to act on
269
3bcde97e
LP
270* man: maybe use the word "inspect" rather than "introspect"?
271
533bb267
LP
272* "machinectl list" should probably show columns for OS version and IP addresses
273
279f0366 274* systemctl: if some operation fails, show log output?
533bb267 275
b42de08a
ZJS
276* systemctl edit:
277- allow creation of units from scratch
278- use equvalent of cat() to insert existing config as a comment, prepended with #.
279 Upon editor exit, lines with one # are removed, lines with two # are left with one #, etc.
202aea45 280
42aeb14a
LP
281* refcounting in sd-resolve is borked
282
283* exponential backoff in timesyncd and resolved when we cannot reach a server
284
14a32924
LP
285* unquote_many_words() should probably be used by a lot of code that
286 currently uses FOREACH_WORD and friends. For example, most conf
287 parsing callbacks should use it.
288
563b1bdc
LP
289* merge ~/.local/share and ~/.local/lib into one similar /usr/lib and /usr/share....
290
5dcf9838
LP
291* systemd.show_status= should probably have a mode where only failed
292 units are shown.
293
6bd7941e
TG
294* add systemd.abort_on_kill or some other such flag to send SIGABRT instead of SIGKILL
295 (throughout the codebase, not only PID1)
296
b873d33e 297* networkd:
d61bb44a 298 - add LLDP client side support
ed220efd
LP
299 - the DHCP lease data (such as NTP/DNS) is still made available when
300 a carrier is lost on a link. It should be removed instantly.
41488fe9
LP
301 - .network setting that allows overriding of the hostname to send to the dhcp server
302 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-July/021550.html
41488fe9
LP
303 - expose in the API the following bits:
304 - option 15, domain name and/or option 119, search list
305 - option 12, host name and/or option 81, fqdn
306 - option 100, 101, timezone
307 - option 123, 144, geolocation
308 - option 252, configure http proxy (PAC/wpad)
ca70bec9
LP
309 - networkd's dhcp server should transparently pass on the DNS and
310 NTP server list it got from user configuration and its dhcp client
311 to clients. It should also pass on its own timezone information.
1dbe0a6e
LP
312 - provide a way to define a per-network interface default metric value
313 for all routes to it. possibly a second default for DHCP routes.
157a180e
TG
314 - allow Name= to be specified repeatedly in the [Match] section. Maybe also
315 support Name=foo*|bar*|baz ?
823f4a91 316 - duplicate address check for static IPs (like ARPCHECK in network-scripts)
b873d33e 317
9d6db739 318* resolved:
1dbe0a6e
LP
319 - put networkd events and rtnl events at a higher priority, so that
320 we always process them before we process client requests
9d6db739 321 - DNSSEC
ff3d6560
ZJS
322 - use base64 for key presentation?
323 - add display of private key types (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4034#appendix-A.1.1)?
151226ab 324 - add nice formatting of DNS timestamps
23c4091d
LP
325 - DNS
326 - search paths
9d6db739 327 - mDNS/DNS-SD
0f47ed0a 328 - avahi compat
9d6db739 329 - DNS-SD service registration from socket units
bc075489
LP
330 - edns0
331 - dname
b6b63571 332 - cname on PTR (?)
279f0366
LP
333 - maybe randomize DNS UDP source ports
334 - maybe compare query section of DNS replies
3f77a1b1 335
e2a69298
LP
336* Allow multiple ExecStart= for all Type= settings, so that we can cover rescue.service nicely
337
2834ffe7
LP
338* Add a new verb "systemctl top"
339
a940778f
LP
340* add new gpt type for btrfs volumes
341
a01647e5 342* support empty /etc boots nicely:
3c779fa5 343 - nspawn/gpt-generator: introduce new gpt partition type for /usr
a940778f 344 - fstab-generator: support systemd.volatile=yes|no|state on the kernel cmdline, too, similar to nspawn's --volatile=
a01647e5 345
3de03738
LP
346* generator that automatically discovers btrfs subvolumes, identifies their purpose based on some xattr on them.
347
2b1c3767
LP
348* timer units: actually add extra delays to timer units with high AccuracySec values, don't start them already when we are awake...
349
37efac5d
LP
350* a way for container managers to turn off getty starting via $container_headless= or so...
351
7348b3ad
LP
352* figure out a nice way how we can let the admin know what child/sibling unit causes cgroup membership for a specific unit
353
e107ed18
LP
354* mount_cgroup_controllers(): symlinks need to get the label applied
355
81429136
KS
356* For timer units: add some mechanisms so that timer units that trigger immediately on boot do not have the services
357 they run added to the initial transaction and thus confuse Type=idle.
e107ed18 358
f598ac3e 359* Run most system services with cgroupfs read-only and procfs with a more secure mode (doesn't work, since the hidepid= option is per-pid-namespace, not per-mount)
11fb37f1 360
01083ad0
LP
361* sd-event: generate a failure of a default event loop is executed out-of-thread
362
edb2935c
LP
363* add bus api to query unit file's X fields.
364
769918ec
LP
365* consider adding RuntimeDirectoryUser= + RuntimeDirectoryGroup=
366
367* sd-event: define more intervals where we will shift wakeup intervals around in, 1h, 6h, 24h, ...
368
6a3f892a 369* gpt-auto-generator:
2a781fc9
LP
370 - Support LUKS for root devices
371 - Define new partition type for encrypted swap? Support probed LUKS for encrypted swap?
6a3f892a 372 - Make /home automount rather than mount?
6a3f892a 373
65026403
LP
374* add generator that pulls in systemd-network from containers when
375 CAP_NET_ADMIN is set, more than the loopback device is defined, even
376 when it is otherwise off
f8901862 377
eda8f067
LP
378* MessageQueueMessageSize= and RLimitFSIZE= (and suchlike) should use parse_iec_size().
379
d4fdc205
LP
380* "busctl status" works only as root on dbus1, since we cannot read
381 /proc/$PID/exe

af1082b0
LP
383* implement Distribute= in socket units to allow running multiple
384 service instances processing the listening socket, and open this up
385 for ReusePort=
386
488ad3b3
LP
387* socket units: support creating sockets in different namespace,
388 opening it up for JoinsNamespaceOf=. This would require to fork off
389 a tiny process that joins the namespace and creates/binds the socket
390 and passes this back to PID1 via SCM_RIGHTS. This also could be used
391 to allow Chown/chgrp on sockets without requiring NSS in PID 1.
392
47c94a96
LP
393* New service property: maximum CPU and wallclock runtime for a service
394
09ecd746
LP
395* introduce bus call FreezeUnit(s, b), as well as "systemctl freeze
396 $UNIT" and "systemctl thaw $UNIT" as wrappers around this. The calls
397 should SIGSTOP all unit processes in a loop until all processes of
398 it are fully stopped. This can later be used for app management by
399 desktop UIs such as gnome-shell to freeze apps that are not visible
400 on screen, not unlike how job control works on the shell
401
f38afcd0 402* cgroups:
f38afcd0
LP
403 - implement per-slice CPUFairScheduling=1 switch
404 - handle jointly mounted controllers correctly
405 - introduce high-level settings for RT budget, swappiness
406 - how to reset dynamically changed unit cgroup attributes sanely?
407 - when reloading configuration, apply new cgroup configuration
408 - when recursively showing the cgroup hierarchy, optionally also show
409 the hierarchies of child processes
0bee65f0 410
f38afcd0 411* transient units:
f38afcd0
LP
412 - add field to transient units that indicate whether systemd or somebody else saves/restores its settings, for integration with libvirt
413 - ensure scope units may be started only a single time
ebcf1f97 414
47c94a96
LP
415* Automatically configure swap partition to use for hibernation by looking for largest swap partition on the root disk?
416
718db961
LP
417* when we detect low battery and no AC on boot, show pretty splash and refuse boot
418
f38afcd0 419* machined, localed: when we try to kill an empty cgroup, generate an ESRCH error over the bus
718db961
LP
420
421* libsystemd-journal, libsystemd-login, libudev: add calls to easily attach these objects to sd-event event loops
422
966204e0
LP
423* be more careful what we export on the bus as (usec_t) 0 and (usec_t) -1
424
94676f3e 425* unify dispatch table in systemctl_main() and friends
6fd4d020 426
41644622
LP
427* rfkill,backlight: we probably should run the load tools inside of the udev rules so that the state is properly initialized by the time other software sees it
428
7f79cd71 429* After coming back from hibernation reset hibernation swap partition using the /dev/snapshot ioctl APIs
0aafd43d 430
19aadacf
JE
431* If we try to find a unit via a dangling symlink, generate a clean
432 error. Currently, we just ignore it and read the unit from the search
df5f6971
LP
433 path anyway.
434
fcba531e
LP
435* refuse boot if /etc/os-release is missing or /etc/machine-id cannot be set up
436
6aaa8c2f 437* btrfs raid assembly: some .device jobs stay stuck in the queue
c3bb87db 438
d28315e4 439* make sure gdm does not use multi-user-x but the new default X configuration file, and then remove multi-user-x from systemd
18d4e7c2 440
bdeeb6b5
LP
441* man: the documentation of Restart= currently is very misleading and suggests the tools from ExecStartPre= might get restarted.
442
443* load .d/*.conf dropins for device units
444
4e09014d
LP
445* allow implementation of InaccessibleDirectories=/ plus
446 ReadOnlyDirectories=... for whitelisting files for a service.
447
6bb648a1 448* sd-bus:
fa607802 449 - GetAllProperties() on a non-existing object does not result in a failure currently
d0928791 450 - kdbus: process fd=-1 for incoming msgs
7212c608 451 - port to sd-resolve for connecting to TCP dbus servers
1f140dd8 452 - kdbus: maybe add controlling tty metadata fields
57f2a947 453 - see if we can introduce a new sd_bus_get_owner_machine_id() call to retrieve the machine ID of the machine of the bus itself
d28315e4 454 - when kdbus does not take our message without memfds, try again with memfds
f38afcd0 455 - see if we can drop more message validation on the sending side
f38afcd0 456 - add API to clone sd_bus_message objects
dc17bcef 457 - make AddMatch calls on dbus1 transports async?
80caea6c 458 - kdbus: matches against source or destination pids for an "strace -p"-like feel. Problem: The PID info needs to be available in userspace too...
ab9716c2 459 - longer term: priority inheritance
df98a87b
LP
460 - dbus spec updates:
461 - kdbus mapping
462 - NameLost/NameAcquired obsolete
463 - GVariant
2ecfc64e 464 - path escaping
6a8b5fa4 465 - update systemd.special(7) to mention that dbus.socket is only about the compatibility socket now
69727e6d 466 - test bloom filter generation indexes
279f0366
LP
467 - bus-proxy: when passing messages from kdbus, make sure we properly
468 handle the case where a large number of fds is appended that we
469 cannot pass into sendmsg() of the AF_UNIX sokcet (which only accepts
470 253 messages)
b568ef14 471 - kdbus: introduce a concept of "send-only" connections
0ad68f87 472 - kdbus: add counter for refused unicast messages that is passed out via the RECV ioctl. SImilar to the counter for dropped multicast messages we already have.
f38afcd0
LP
473
474* sd-event
12179984 475 - allow multiple signal handlers per signal?
0536ce5d 476 - document chaining of signal handler for SIGCHLD and child handlers
eb01ba5d 477
154ff088
LP
478* in the final killing spree, detect processes from the root directory, and
479 complain loudly if they have argv[0][0] == '@' set.
480 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=961044
481
69af4503 482* investigate endianness issues of UUID vs. GUID
e8a7a315 483
461bd8e4
LP
484* dbus: when a unit failed to load (i.e. is in UNIT_ERROR state), we
485 should be able to safely try another attempt when the bus call LoadUnit() is invoked.
486
ab8e074c
LP
487* add a pam module that passes the hdd passphrase into the PAM stack and then expires it, for usage by gdm auto-login.
488
489* add a pam module that on password changes updates any LUKS slot where the password matches
490
b454b112
LP
491* maybe add a generator that looks for "systemd.run=" on the kernel cmdline for container usercases...
492
4ff49cb6
LP
493* cgtop: make cgtop useful in a container
494
fff87a35
ZJS
495* test/:
496 - add 'set -e' to scripts in test/
497 - make stuff in test/ work with separate output dir
b8b4d3dd 498
b5c03638 499* seems that when we follow symlinks to units we prefer the symlink
d28315e4 500 destination path over /etc and /usr. We should not do that. Instead
b5c03638
LP
501 /etc should always override /run+/usr and also any symlink
502 destination.
503
eece8c6f
LP
504* when isolating, try to figure out a way how we implicitly can order
505 all units we stop before the isolating unit...
506
356ce991
LP
507* teach ConditionKernelCommandLine= globs or regexes (in order to match foobar={no,0,off})
508
c1446921
LP
509* BootLoaderSpec: Clarify that the kernel has to be in $BOOT. Clarify
510 that the boot loader should be installed to the ESP. Define a way
511 how an installer can figure out whether a BLS compliant boot loader
512 is installed.
795607b2 513
0be8342c
LP
514* think about requeuing jobs when daemon-reload is issued? usecase:
515 the initrd issues a reload after fstab from the host is accessible
516 and we might want to requeue the mounts local-fs acquired through
517 that automatically.
518
e5ec62c5 519* systemd-inhibit: make taking delay locks useful: support sending SIGINT or SIGTERM on PrepareForSleep()
54c31a79 520
826872b6
LP
521* journal-or-kmsg is currently broken? See reverted commit 4a01181e460686d8b4a543b1dfa7f77c9e3c5ab8.
522
d28315e4 523* remove any syslog support from log.c -- we probably cannot do this before split-off udev is gone for good
826872b6 524
3679d112
LP
525* shutdown logging: store to EFI var, and store to USB stick?
526
3679d112
LP
527* write UI tool that pops up emergency messages from the journal as notification
528
529* think about window-manager-run-as-user-service problem: exit 0 → activate shutdown.target; exit != 0 → restart service
530
356ce991 531* merge unit_kill_common() and unit_kill_context()
490b7e47 532
81d112a8 533* introduce ExecCondition= in services
490b7e47 534
b44be3ec 535* EFI:
b44be3ec
LP
536 - honor language efi variables for default language selection (if there are any?)
537 - honor timezone efi variables for default timezone selection (if there are any?)
466784c8 538 - change bootctl to be backed by systemd-bootd to control temporary and persistent default boot goal plus efi variables
e4181484 539
c0fe5db5 540* maybe do not install getty@tty1.service symlink in /etc but in /usr?
e9fd44b7 541
b44be3ec 542* re-enable "make check" for gtk-doc (broken for unknown reason)
e9fd44b7 543
b44be3ec
LP
544* fstab: add new mount option x-systemd-after=/foobar/waldo to allow manual dependencies to other mount points
545 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=812826
3040728b 546
b44be3ec 547* print a nicer explanation if people use variable/specifier expansion in ExecStart= for the first word
8ed20651 548
b44be3ec 549* mount: turn dependency information from /proc/self/mountinfo into dependency information between systemd units.
e6c6e7af 550
b44be3ec
LP
551* logind:
552 - logind: optionally, ignore idle-hint logic for autosuspend, block suspend as long as a session is around
553 - When we update the kernel all kind of hibernation should be prohibited until shutdown/reboot
554 - logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
555 - Add pretty name for seats in logind
556 - logind: allow showing logout dialog from system?
e5ec62c5 557 - we should probably handle SIGTERM/SIGINT to not leave dot files around, just in case
f38afcd0
LP
558 - session scopes/user unit: add RequiresMountsFor for the home directory of the user
559 - add Suspend() bus calls which take timestamps to fix double suspend issues when somebody hits suspend and closes laptop quickly.
560 - if pam_systemd is invoked by su from a process that is outside of a
561 any session we should probably just become a NOP, since that's
562 usually not a real user session but just some system code that just
563 needs setuid().
279f0366
LP
564 - logind: make the Suspend()/Hibernate() bus calls wait for the for
565 the job to be completed. before returning, so that clients can wait
566 for "systemctl suspend" to finish to know when the suspending is
567 complete.
568 - logind: when the power button is pressed short, just popup a
569 logout dialog. If it is pressed for 1s, do the usual
570 shutdown. Inspiration are Macs here.
279f0366
LP
571 - expose "Locked" property on logind sesison objects
572 - given that logind now lets PID 1 do all nasty work, we can
573 probably reduce the capability set it retains substantially.
574 (we need CAP_SYS_ADMIN for drmSetMaster(), so maybe not worth it)
b568ef14 575 - expose orientation sensors and tablet mode through logind
e673ad04 576
b44be3ec 577* exec: when deinitializating a tty device fix the perms and group, too, not only when initializing. Set access mode/gid to 0620/tty.
e673ad04 578
b44be3ec 579* service: watchdog logic: for testing purposes allow ping, but do not require pong
e673ad04 580
b44be3ec 581* journal:
57f2a947 582 - consider introducing implicit _TTY= + _PPID= + _EUID= + _EGID= + _FSUID= + _FSGID= fields
c06bf414 583 - import and delete pstore filesystem content at startup
b44be3ec
LP
584 - journald: also get thread ID from client, plus thread name
585 - journal: when waiting for journal additions in the client always sleep at least 1s or so, in order to minimize wakeups
586 - add API to close/reopen/get fd for journal client fd in libsystemd-journal.
d28315e4 587 - fallback to /dev/log based logging in libsystemd-journal, if we cannot log natively?
b44be3ec
LP
588 - declare the local journal protocol stable in the wiki interface chart
589 - journal: reuse XZ context
590 - sd-journal: speed up sd_journal_get_data() with transparent hash table in bg
591 - journald: when dropping msgs due to ratelimit make sure to write
592 "dropped %u messages" not only when we are about to print the next
593 message that works, but alraedy after a short tiemout
594 - check if we can make journalctl by default use --follow mode inside of less if called without args?
595 - maybe add API to send pairs of iovecs via sd_journal_send
596 - journal: when writing journal auto-rotate if time jumps backwards
f47ec8eb 597 - journal: add a setgid "systemd-journal" utility to invoke from libsystemd-journal, which passes fds via STDOUT and does PK access
b44be3ec
LP
598 - journactl: support negative filtering, i.e. FOOBAR!="waldo",
599 and !FOOBAR for events without FOOBAR.
038cf334
ZJS
600 - journal: store timestamp of journal_file_set_offline() int he header,
601 so it is possible to display when the file was last synced.
b44be3ec
LP
602 - 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.
603 - journal: find a way to allow dropping history early, based on priority, other rules
604 - journal: When used on NFS, check payload hashes
b44be3ec
LP
605 - journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
606 - refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
607 - journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
608 - journal: deal nicely with byte-by-byte copied files, especially regards header
b44be3ec 609 - journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the components would fit
601d9d6f 610 - Replace utmp, wtmp, btmp, and lastlog completely with journal
f38afcd0 611 - journalctl: instead --after-cursor= maybe have a --cursor=XYZ+1 syntax?
f38afcd0
LP
612 - when a kernel driver logs in a tight loop, we should ratelimit that too.
613 - journald: optionally, log debug messages to /run but everything else to /var
614 - journald: when we drop syslog messages because the syslog socket is
615 full, make sure to write how many messages are lost as first thing
616 to syslog when it works again.
617 - journald: make sure ratelimit is actually really per-service with the new cgroup changes
618 - change systemd-journal-flush into a service that stays around during
619 boot, and causes the journal to be moved back to /run on shutdown,
d28315e4 620 so that we do not keep /var busy. This needs to happen synchronously,
f38afcd0 621 hence doing this via signals is not going to work.
279f0366
LP
622 - optionally support running journald from the command line for testing purposes in external projects
623 - journald: allow per-priority and per-service retention times when rotating/vacuuming
624 - journald: make use of uid-range.h to managed uid ranges to split
625 journals in.
626 - journalctl: add the ability to look for the most recent process of a binary. journalctl /usr/bin/X11 --pid=-1 or so...
627 - improve journalctl performance by loading journal files
628 lazily. Encode just enough information in the file name, so that we
629 do not have to open it to know that it is not interesting for us, for
630 the most common operations.
b44be3ec
LP
631
632* document:
8b8f2591 633 - document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fields in
b44be3ec
LP
634 [Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
635 - man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
b44be3ec 636 - document the exit codes when services fail before they are exec()ed
b44be3ec 637 - document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
eb124a97 638 - document in wiki how to map ical recurrence events to systemd timer unit calendar specifications
f38afcd0
LP
639 - add a man page containing packaging guidelines and recommending usage of things like Documentation=, PrivateTmp=, PrivateNetwork= and ReadOnlyDirectories=/etc /usr.
640 - document systemd-journal-flush.service properly
f38afcd0
LP
641 - documentation: recommend to connect the timer units of a service to the service via Also= in [Install]
642 - man: document the very specific env the shutdown drop-in tools live in
643 - man: extend runlevel(8) to mention that runlevels suck, and are dead. Maybe add runlevel(7) with a note about that too
644 - man: add more examples to man pages
645 - man: maybe sort directives in man pages, and take sections from --help and apply them to man too
b44be3ec
LP
646
647* systemctl:
648 - systemctl list-jobs - show dependencies
649 - add systemctl switch to dump transaction without executing it
650 - Add a verbose mode to "systemctl start" and friends that explains what is being done or not done
651 - "systemctl disable" on a static unit prints no message and does
652 nothing. "systemctl enable" does nothing, and gives a bad message
653 about it. Should fix both to print nice actionable messages.
654 - print nice message from systemctl --failed if there are no entries shown, and hook that into ExecStartPre of rescue.service/emergency.service
655 - add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
d28315e4 656 - systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into does not exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
b44be3ec
LP
657 - systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
658 - support "systemctl stop foobar@.service" to stop all units matching a certain template
659 - Something is wrong with symlink handling of "autovt@.service" in "systemctl list-unit-files"
f38afcd0
LP
660 - better error message if you run systemctl without systemd running
661 - systemctl status output should should include list of triggering units and their status
f38afcd0
LP
662
663* unit install:
664 - "systemctl mask" should find all names by which a unit is accessible
665 (i.e. by scanning for symlinks to it) and link them all to /dev/null
f38afcd0 666 - systemctl list-unit-files should list generated files (and probably with a new state "generated" for them, or so)
8b04b925 667
b44be3ec 668* timer units:
b44be3ec
LP
669 - timer units should get the ability to trigger when:
670 o CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (TFD_TIMER_CANCEL_ON_SET)
671 o DST changes
eb124a97 672 - Support 2012-02~4 as syntax for specifying the fourth to last day of the month.
f38afcd0 673 - calendarspec: support value ranges with ".." notation. Example: 2013-4..8-1
d28315e4 674 - when parsing calendar timestamps support the UTC timezone (even if we will not support arbitrary timezone specs, support UTC itself certainly makes sense), also support syntaxes such as +0200
90e071d1 675 - Modulate timer frequency based on battery state
d2e83c23 676
a19554ed
LP
677* add libsystemd-password or so to query passwords during boot using the password agent logic
678
1cb88f2c
LP
679* 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().
680
681* fedup: add --unit to systemctl switch-root somehow
d28315e4 682* fedup: do not delete initrd on switch-root
1cb88f2c 683* fedup: generator
603cd8fe 684
a7a3f28b
LP
685* clean up date formatting and parsing so that all absolute/relative timestamps we format can also be parsed
686
b44be3ec 687* on shutdown: move utmp, wall, audit logic all into PID 1 (or logind?), get rid of systemd-update-utmp-runlevel
08f95888 688
9ee58bdd
KS
689* make repeated alt-ctrl-del presses printing a dump, or even force a reboot without
690 waiting for the timeout
dcfc4b2e 691
71ef24d0
LP
692* hostnamed: before returning information from /etc/machine-info.conf check the modification data and reread. Similar for localed, ...
693
d28315e4 694* currently x-systemd.timeout is lost in the initrd, since crypttab is copied into dracut, but fstab is not
1b89884b 695
b44be3ec 696* nspawn:
9cb74bcb 697 - refuses to boot containers without /etc/machine-id (OK?), and with empty /etc/machine-id (not OK).
b44be3ec
LP
698
699* cryptsetup:
b44be3ec
LP
700 - cryptsetup-generator: allow specification of passwords in crypttab itself
701 - move cryptsetup key caching into kernel keyctl?
702 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54982
5f1dac6b 703 - support rd.luks.allow-discards= kernel cmdline params in cryptsetup generator
f8019684 704
424a19f8 705* hw watchdog: optionally try to use the preset watchdog timeout instead of always overriding it
41f9172f 706 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54712
424a19f8
LP
707
708* after deserializing sockets in socket.c we should reapply sockopts and things

a1cccad1 710* make timer units go away after they elapsed
8556879e 711
4a30847b
LP
712* move PID 1 segfaults to /var/lib/systemd/coredump?

5e8b2883
LP
714* create /sbin/init symlinks from the build system
715
38a60d71
LP
716* allow writing multiple conditions in unit files on one line
717
68f16003 718* MountFlags=shared acts as MountFlags=slave right now.
0790b9fe 719
68f16003
LP
720* drop PID 1 reloading, only do reexecing (difficult: Reload()
721 currently is properly synchronous, Reexec() is weird, because we
d28315e4 722 cannot delay the response properly until we are back, so instead of
68f16003 723 being properly synchronous we just keep open the fd and close it
d28315e4 724 when done. That means clients do not get a successful method reply,
68f16003 725 but much rather a disconnect on success.
0790b9fe 726
fd4d89b2
LP
727* properly handle loop back mounts via fstab, especially regards to fsck/passno
728
47ae7201
LP
729* initialize the hostname from the fs label of /, if /etc/hostname does not exist?
730
88a6c589 731* rename "userspace" to "core-os"
