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
05677bb7 6* make anaconda write timeout=0 for encrypted devices

f957632b
KS
8* Dangling symlinks of .automount unit files in .wants/ directories, set up
9 automount points even when the original .automount file did not exist
10 anymore. Only the .mount unit was still around.
11
9a366075
LP
12* make polkit checks async
13
a40593a0 14* properly handle .mount unit state tracking when two mount points are stacked one on top of another on the exact same mount point.

18* Retest multi-seat
19
71092d70 20Features:
822e5dd1 21
490b7e47
LP
22* DeviceAllow/DeviceDeny: disallow everything by default, but whitelist /dev/zero, /dev/null and friends
23
24* service: watchdog logic: for testing purposes allow ping, but do not require pong
25
8403cbbe 26* kill insserv code, people should really use a generator for this
2eb8ca3b 27
5965984d
LP
28* journald: when dropping msgs due to ratelimit make sure to write
29 "dropped %u messages" not only when we are about to print the next
30 message that works, but alraedy after a short tiemout
31
a624aa9e
LP
32* add form factor to /etc/machine-info
33
9b4a5474
LP
34* use C11 static_assert() where we currently use assert_cc()
35
e4181484
LP
36* journald: also get thread ID from client, plus thread name
37
e9fd44b7
LP
38* check if we can make journalctl by default use --follow mode inside of less if called without args?
39
40* Addd a verbose mode to "systemctl start" and friends that explains what is being done or not done
41
3040728b
LP
42* "systemctl is-failed" to join "systemctl is-active" and "systemctl is-enabled".
43
44* journal is not closed properly at shutdown when run in a container?
45
78db35f3
LP
46* All log messages generated from socket.c, service.c, ... should
47 include _SYSTEMD_UNIT= fields so that "systemctl status" can show
48 them along with the unit
49
8ed20651
LP
50* use polkit "imply" for binding hostname actions together
51
52* journal: when waiting for journal additions always sleep at least 1s or so, in order to minimize wakeups
53
e6c6e7af
LP
54* When shutdown.target is queued begin with an asynchronous sync()?
55
8e6054f7
LP
56* Add ConditionBatteryPower= or ConditionACPower=? (but definitely not both)
57
e673ad04
LP
58* add API to close/reopen/get fd for journal client fd in libsystemd-journal.
59
60* maybe add API to send pairs of iovecs via sd_journal_send
61
62* fallback to /dev/log based logging in libsystemd-journal, if we can't log natively?
63
64* declare the local journal protocol stable in the wiki interface chart
65
7361c3b4 66* journal: reuse XZ context
8b04b925 67
7361c3b4
LP
68* sd-journal: speed up sd_journal_get_data() with transparent hash table in bg
69
e673ad04
LP
70* introduce ntp.service (or suchlike) as symlink that is used to arbitrate between various NTP implementations
71
d2e83c23
KS
72* timer units should get the ability to trigger when:
73 - CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (TFD_TIMER_CANCEL_ON_SET)
74 - DST changes
75
76* update the kernel's TZ (sys_tz) when DST changes
77
78* sync down the system time to the RTC when:
f6113d42
KS
79 - CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (the user explicitely requested a time set)
80 - DST/timezone changes && ntp is active && RTC-in-localtime (never do it without ntp)
d2e83c23 81 This takes care of syncing ntpdate updates to the RTC, and DST updates for localtime
7a43e910 82 mode, it will never touch the RTC if the no reliable time source is active or the
d2e83c23 83 user did not request anything like it.
c55b1b59 84
822e5dd1
LP
85* When we begin with system shutdown all kind of suspend/hibernation should be prohibited until shutdown/reboot
86
87* When we update the kernel all kind of hibernation should be prohibited until shutdown/reboot
88
6c1703cc
KS
89* hwdb:
90 - implement conditional properties (dmi matches)
91 - hwdb --filter=ID_DRIVE_*
92 - find out what to do for blockdevs and skipping scsi modaliases
93 - move writing code to src/libudev/libudev-hwdb-private.c

96
e707c494
LP
97* localectl: add listing support for X11 keymaps, by parsing /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/xorg.lst
98
99* libunwind support for coredump pattern hook, and includes this in
100 the message for coredumps. After all, libunwind is now capable to
101 unwind coredumps since a few weeks ago. This probably requires that
102 we have nice support for multi-line messages on display in logs-show.c.
103
e707c494

111
54728c37 112* link up selected blog stories from man pages and unit files Documentation= fields?
a73d88fa 113
f2d433e1
ZJS
114* journactl: support negative filtering, i.e. FOOBAR!="waldo",
115 and !FOOBAR for events without FOOBAR.
a19554ed 116
f2d433e1 117* print nice message from systemctl --failed if there are no entries shown, and hook that into ExecStartPre of rescue.service/emergency.service
a19554ed
LP
118
119* add libsystemd-password or so to query passwords during boot using the password agent logic
120
121* journal: when rotating, copy over old acls/access mode
122
123* journal: document why we do not give ownership to journal files to the user that created them but use FS ACLs for that
124
125* journal: send out marker messages every now and then, and immediately sync with fdatasync() afterwards, in order to have hourly guaranteed syncs.
126
127* journal: when we haven't written anything in a while, sync to disk and mark file as offline, in order to be more often than not in a clean state
128
129* 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.
130
1cb88f2c
LP
131* 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().
132
133* fedup: add --unit to systemctl switch-root somehow
134* fedup: don't delete initrd on switch-root
135* fedup: generator

138
936d6fcb
LP
139* journal: When used on NFS, check payload hashes
140
141* journal: When used on NFS make sure wake up sd_journal_wait() every 2s, to handle missing inotify
142
936d6fcb
LP
143* document that people can use file system ACLs to manage access to journal files, with example
144
edca2e23 145* don't show cgroup in "systemctl status" if empty/non-existent, especially for foreign .mount units
ea117d4f 146
6d0274f1

9a526a06
LP
153* document unit_name_mangle()
154
a8985ba3

156
9b27910b
LP
157* introduce generic AUGMENT_PID=, AUGMENT_DEVICE= fields
158
b03bfa21
LP
159* deal with sendmail/postfix exclusivity
160
935fb723 161* systemctl enable: improve the success messages (i.e. more human readable, less shell-like)
b03bfa21
LP
162
163* systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into doesn't exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
164
935fb723 165* on shutdown: move utmp, wall, audit logic all into PID 1 itself, get rid of systemd-update-utmp-runlevel
08f95888 166
7d8197d1
KS
167* add "provisioning" instructions to setup an empty /etc + /var
168 - used to setup a new container from a shared /usr
169 - superset of tmpfiles model
170 - instructions shipped by packages and stored in /usr/lib/
171 - compose /etc/passwd and /etc/group, copy files
172 - able to create uid + gid used by packages, for file ownership
173
9ee58bdd

182
1b89884b

196
197* cryptsetup-generator: allow specification of passwords in crypttab itself
198
f8019684
LP

5e8b2883
LP
231* create /sbin/init symlinks from the build system
232
d87be9b0
LP
233* Query Paul Moore about relabelling socket fds while they are open
234

88f89a9b
LP
243* ability to pass fds into systemd

250
d8b78264
LP
251* explore multiple service instances per listening socket idea

LP
255* shutdown: don't read-only mount anything when running in container
256
5a7e9599
LP
257* nspawn: --read-only is not applied recursively to submounts
258
68f16003 259* MountFlags=shared acts as MountFlags=slave right now.
0790b9fe 260
5a7e9599
LP
261* ReadOnlyDirectories= is not applied recursively to submounts
262
68f16003
LP
263* drop PID 1 reloading, only do reexecing (difficult: Reload()
264 currently is properly synchronous, Reexec() is weird, because we
265 can't delay the response properly until we are back, so instead of
266 being properly synchronous we just keep open the fd and close it
edca2e23 267 when done. That means clients don't get a successful method reply,
68f16003 268 but much rather a disconnect on success.
0790b9fe 269
68f16003 270* document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
df1c8f6a 271

284* dracut-shutdown needs to be ordered before unmounting /boot
285
47ae7201
LP
286* initialize the hostname from the fs label of /, if /etc/hostname does not exist?

88a6c589 288* rename "userspace" to "core-os"
8351ceae 289
6a735368

c66d36e5
LP
302* systemd-analyze post-boot is broken for initrd
303
c649f72b
DS
304* systemd-analyze: data collection tools should be lightweight (few dependencies); data analysis tools can be heavyweight
305
c66d36e5
LP
306* man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
307
be0aa784
LP
308* .device aliases need to be implemented with the "following" logic, probably.
309
461b1822
LP
310* refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
311
9946996c
LP
312* load-fragment: when loading a unit file via a chain of symlinks
313 verify that it isn't masked via any of the names traversed.
314
d1970645
LP
315* journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
316
b4efdf97

f28f1daf
LP
505* verify that the AF_UNIX sockets of a service in the fs still exist
506 when we start a service in order to avoid confusion when a user
507 assumes starting a service is enough to make it accessible
508
88a07670
LP

603* NTP: the kernel's 11-minutes-mode syncs the system time to the RTC, but only
604 in an ~30 minutes window. It does not adjust larger differences. Find a way
605 to tell the kernel, to always do a full time sync when the RTC is in UTC and
606 we are in 11-minutes-mode. When we trust the system time to NTP we also want
607 the RTC to sync up.

71092d70 609* kernel: add device_type = "fb", "fbcon" to class "graphics"
