TODO revision 719e4e368b8bbe4e2f2ce49ec6f864a90bd6c619
2240N/ABugfixes:
2240N/A* the running hwdb seems not to pick up updated database files without
2240N/A an explicit: udevadm control --reload
2240N/A
2240N/A* enabling an instance unit creates pointless link, and
2240N/A the unit will be started with getty@getty.service:
2240N/A $ systemctl enable getty@.service
2240N/A ln -s '/usr/lib/systemd/system/getty@.service' '/etc/systemd/system/getty.target.wants/getty@.service'
2240N/A
2240N/A* check systemd-tmpfiles for selinux context hookup for mknod(), symlink() and similar
2240N/A
2240N/A* swap units that are activated by one name but shown in the kernel under another are semi-broken
2240N/A
2240N/A* Dangling symlinks of .automount unit files in .wants/ directories, set up
2240N/A automount points even when the original .automount file did not exist
2240N/A anymore. Only the .mount unit was still around.
2240N/A
2240N/A* make polkit checks async
2240N/A
2240N/A* properly handle .mount unit state tracking when two mount points are stacked one on top of another on the exact same mount point.
2240N/A
2240N/A* ellipsize_mem must take into account multi-byte unicode characters, and
2240N/A - make the resulting line the requested number of *characters*, not *bytes*,
3339N/A - avoid truncuating multi-byte sequences in the middle.
2240N/A
2240N/A* When we detect invalid UTF-8, we cant't use it in an error message:
3339N/A log...("Path is not UTF-8 clean, ignoring assignment: %s", rvalue);
2240N/A
2240N/A* shorten the message to sane length:
2240N/A
2240N/A Cannot add dependency job for unit display-manager.service, ignoring: Unit display-manager.service failed to load: No such file or directory. See system logs and 'systemctl status display-manager.service' for details.
2240N/A
2240N/AFedora 20:
2240N/A
2240N/A* external: ps should gain colums for slice and machine
2240N/A
2240N/A* localed:
2240N/A - localectl: support new converted x11→console keymaps
2240N/A
2240N/A* when installing fedora with yum --installroot /var/run is a directory, not a symlink
2240N/A https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=975864
2240N/A
2284N/ACGroup Rework Completion:
2240N/A
2240N/A* introduce "mainpid" for scopes (or maybe not?)
2240N/A
2240N/A* implement system-wide DefaultCPUAccounting=1 switch (and similar for blockio, memory?)
2240N/A
2805N/A* implement per-slice CPUFairScheduling=1 switch
2284N/A
2284N/A* handle jointly mounted controllers correctly
2240N/A
2240N/A* make BlockIODeviceWeight=, BlockIODeviceBandwidth= runtime settable
2240N/A
2240N/A* introduce high-level settings for RT budget, swappiness
2284N/A
2284N/A* wiki: document new bus APIs of PID 1 (transient units, Reloading signal)
2240N/A
2240N/AFeatures:
2240N/A
2240N/A* Move backlight and random-seed into /var/lib/systemd
2240N/A
2284N/A* When a Type=forking service fails and needed another service that
2240N/A service is not cleaned up again when it has StopWhenUnneeded=yes
2240N/A http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2013-July/012141.html
2240N/A
2240N/A* backlight: properly handle multiple backlight devices for the same
2240N/A hardware: at shutdown we should only save the backlight setting for
2284N/A the "best" way to access the backlight. Strategy should be: at
2240N/A shutdown, ignore all backlights that are connected to a non-eDP or
2240N/A non-LVDS port, and then prefer the firmware device over platform
2240N/A device over raw device per-PCI card. Delete all old data. At boot
2240N/A simply apply whatever data we find. Also see
2240N/A http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libbacklight/tree/libbacklight.c#n194
2240N/A
2240N/A* rfkill: save/restore soft rfkill status across reboots
2240N/A
2240N/A* refuse boot if /etc/os-release is missing or /etc/machine-id cannot be set up
2240N/A
2240N/A* ensure scope units may be started only a single time
2240N/A
2240N/A* document that in instead of FsckPassNo= people should just add a manual dep to systemd-fsck@.service to their mount units.
2240N/A
2240N/A* better error message if you run systemctl without systemd running
2240N/A
2240N/A* systemctl status output should should include list of triggering units and their status
2240N/A
2240N/A* for transient units, instead of writing out drop-ins for all properties consider serializing them in the normal serialization stream
2240N/A
2240N/A* logind: when logging out, remove user-owned sysv and posix IPC objects
2240N/A
2240N/A* session scopes/user unit: add RequiresMountsFor for the home directory of the user
2240N/A
2240N/A* add a man page containing packaging guidelines and recommending usage of things like Documentation=, PrivateTmp=, PrivateNetwork= and ReadOnlyDirectories=/etc /usr.
2240N/A
2240N/A* journalctl: instead --after-cursor= maybe have a --cursor=XYZ+1 syntax?
2240N/A
2240N/A* given that logind/machined now let PID 1 do all nasty work we can
2240N/A probably reduce the capability set they retain substantially.
2284N/A
2240N/A* btrfs raid assembly: some .device jobs stay stuck in the queue
2240N/A
2240N/A* Fedora: add an rpmlint check that verifies that all unit files in the RPM are listed in %systemd_post macros.
2240N/A
2240N/A* Fedora: post FPC ticket to move add %tmpfiles_create to the packaging guidelines
2240N/A
2240N/A* make sure gdm doesn't use multi-user-x but the new default X configuration file, and then remove multi-user-x from systemd
2240N/A
2240N/A* when parsing calendar timestamps support the UTC timezone (even if we won't support arbitrary timezone specs, support UTC itself certainly makes sense), also support syntaxes such as +0200
2240N/A
2240N/A* when a kernel driver logs in a tight loop we should ratelimit that too.
2240N/A
2240N/A* "systemctl disable" of a unit instance removes all symlinks, should
2240N/A only remove the instance symlink (systemctl disable of a template
2240N/A unit however should remove them all).
2240N/A
2284N/A* journald: optionally, log debug messages to /run but everything else to /var
2240N/A
2240N/A* systemctl list-unit-files should list generated files (and probably with a new state "generated" for them, or so)
2240N/A
2240N/A* journald: when we drop syslog messages because the syslog socket is
2240N/A full, make sure to write how many messages are lost as first thing
2240N/A to syslog when it works again.
2240N/A
2240N/A* man: the documentation of Restart= currently is very misleading and suggests the tools from ExecStartPre= might get restarted.
2240N/A
2240N/A* load .d/*.conf dropins for device units
2240N/A
2240N/A* add a fixed dbus path for "my own unit", "my own session", ... to PID1, logind, ...
2240N/A
2240N/A* service_coldplug() appears to reinstall the wrong stop timeout watch?
2240N/A
2240N/A* transient units: allow creating auxiliary units with the same call
2240N/A
2240N/A* how to reset dynamically changed attributes sanely?
2284N/A
2284N/A* when reloading configuration, apply new cgroup configuration
2284N/A
2284N/A* journald: make sure ratelimit is actually really per-service with the new cgroup changes
2284N/A
2284N/A* libsystemd-logind: sd_session_is_active() and friends: verify
2284N/A validity of session name before appending it to a path
2284N/A
2284N/A* gparted needs to disable auto-activation of mount units somehow, or
2284N/A maybe we should stop doing auto-activation of this after boot
2284N/A entirely. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=701676
2284N/A Maybe take a BSD lock at the disk device node and teach udev to
2284N/A check for that and suppress event handling.
2284N/A
2284N/A* when recursively showing the cgroup hierarchy, optionally also show
3394N/A the hierarchies of child processes
3394N/A
3394N/A* document logic of auto/noauto and fail/nofail in fstab in systemd.mount or systemd-fstab-generator man page
2284N/A
2284N/A* we should properly escape ssh hostnames we add into dbus server strings
3394N/A
2284N/A* something pulls in pcre as so dep into our daemons such as hostnamed.
2284N/A
2284N/A* document systemd-journal-flush.service properly
2317N/A
2284N/A* change systemd-journal-flush into a service that stays around during
2284N/A boot, and causes the journal to be moved back to /run on shutdown,
2284N/A so that we don't keep /var busy. This needs to happen synchronously,
2284N/A hence doing this via signals is not going to work.
2284N/A
2284N/A* allow implementation of InaccessibleDirectories=/ plus
2284N/A ReadOnlyDirectories=... for whitelisting files for a service.
2317N/A
2284N/A* libsystemd-bus:
2284N/A - default policy (allow uid == 0 and our own uid)
2284N/A - enforce alignment of pointers passed in
2284N/A - when kdbus doesn't take our message without memfds, try again with memfds
2284N/A - implement translator service
2284N/A - port systemd to new library
2317N/A - implement busname unit type in systemd
2284N/A - move to gvariant
2284N/A - merge busctl into systemctl or so?
2284N/A - synthesize sd_bus_message objects from kernel messages
2284N/A - properly implement name registry ioctls for kdbus
2284N/A - get rid of object hash table, use decision tree everyhwere instead?
2284N/A - implement monitor logic
2284N/A - object vtable logic
2317N/A - longer term:
2284N/A * priority queues
2284N/A * priority inheritance
2284N/A
2284N/A* in the final killing spree, detect processes from the root directory, and
2284N/A complain loudly if they have argv[0][0] == '@' set.
2284N/A https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=961044
2284N/A
2284N/A* add an option to nspawn that uses seccomp to make socket(AF_NETLINK,
2284N/A SOCK_RAW, NETLINK_AUDIT) fail the the appropriate error code that
2284N/A makes the audit userspace to think auditing is not available in the
2284N/A kernel.
2284N/A
2284N/A* Introduce a way how we can kill the main process of a service with KillSignal, but all processes with SIGKILL later on
2284N/A https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=952634
2240N/A
2240N/A* maybe add a warning to the unit file parses where the access mode of unit files is nonsensical.
3212N/A
3212N/A* investigate endianness issues of UUID vs. GUID
3212N/A
3212N/A* dbus: when a unit failed to load (i.e. is in UNIT_ERROR state), we
3212N/A should be able to safely try another attempt when the bus call LoadUnit() is invoked.
3212N/A
3212N/A* if pam_systemd is invoked by su from a process that is outside of a
3212N/A any session we should probably just become a NOP, since that's
3212N/A usually not a real user session but just some system code that just
3212N/A needs setuid().
3212N/A
3212N/A* add a pam module that passes the hdd passphrase into the PAM stack and then expires it, for usage by gdm auto-login.
3212N/A
3212N/A* add a pam module that on password changes updates any LUKS slot where the password matches
3212N/A
3212N/A* maybe add a generator that looks for "systemd.run=" on the kernel cmdline for container usercases...
3212N/A
3212N/A* timedatctl, localectl: possibly make some commands work without the daemon, for chroot situations...
3212N/A
3212N/A* logind: add Suspend() bus calls which take timestamps to fix double suspend issues when somebody hits suspend and closes laptop quickly.
3212N/A
3212N/A* we need dynamic units
3212N/A
3212N/A* cgtop: make cgtop useful in a container
3212N/A
3212N/A* test/:
2240N/A - add 'set -e' to scripts in test/
2240N/A - make stuff in test/ work with separate output dir
2284N/A - remove all the duplicated code in test/
2284N/A
2240N/A* systemctl delete x.snapshot leaves no trace in logs (at least at default level).
2240N/A
3212N/A* make the coredump collector tool move itself into the user's cgroup
2240N/A so that the coredump is properly written to the user's own journal
2240N/A file.
2240N/A
2240N/A* seems that when we follow symlinks to units we prefer the symlink
2240N/A destination path over /etc and /usr. We shouldn't do that. Instead
2240N/A /etc should always override /run+/usr and also any symlink
2240N/A destination.
2240N/A
2240N/A* when isolating, try to figure out a way how we implicitly can order
2240N/A all units we stop before the isolating unit...
2240N/A
2284N/A* add ConditionArchitecture= or so
2284N/A
2284N/A* teach ConditionKernelCommandLine= globs or regexes (in order to match foobar={no,0,off})
2284N/A
2284N/A* Support SO_REUSEPORT with socket activation:
2284N/A - Let systemd maintain a pool of servers.
2284N/A - Use for seamless upgrades, by running the new server before stopping the
2284N/A old.
2805N/A
2805N/A* after all byte-wise realloc() is slow, even on glibc, so i guess we
2805N/A need manual exponential loops after all
2805N/A
2805N/A* BootLoaderSpec: drop allowing ext234 for $BOOT. Clarify that the
3212N/A kernel has to be in $BOOT. Clarify that the boot loader should be
3212N/A installed to the ESP. Define a way how an installer can figure out
3212N/A whether a BLS compliant boot loader is installed.
3212N/A
2240N/A* man: remove .include documentation, and instead push people to use .d/*.conf
2240N/A
2240N/A* think about requeuing jobs when daemon-reload is issued? usecase:
2240N/A the initrd issues a reload after fstab from the host is accessible
2240N/A and we might want to requeue the mounts local-fs acquired through
2240N/A that automatically.
2240N/A
2240N/A* rework specifier logic so that we can distinguish OOM errors from other errors
2240N/A
2240N/A* systemd-inhibit: make taking delay locks useful: support sending SIGINT or SIGTERM on PrepareForSleep()
2240N/A
2240N/A* journal-or-kmsg is currently broken? See reverted commit 4a01181e460686d8b4a543b1dfa7f77c9e3c5ab8.
2240N/A
2240N/A* remove any syslog support from log.c -- we probably can't do this before split-off udev is gone for good
2240N/A
2240N/A* documentation: recommend to connect the timer units of a service to the service via Also= in [Install]
2240N/A
2240N/A* add a tool that lists active timer units plus their next elapse and the time the units ran last
2240N/A
2240N/A* man: document the very specific env the shutdown drop-in tools live in
2240N/A
2240N/A* shutdown logging: store to EFI var, and store to USB stick?
2240N/A
2240N/A* man: extend runlevel(8) to mention that runlevels suck, and are dead. Maybe add runlevel(7) with a note about that too
2240N/A
2240N/A* systemctl: maybe add "systemctl add-wants" or so...
2240N/A
2240N/A* man: add more examples to man pages
2240N/A
2240N/A* man: maybe sort directives in man pages, and take sections from --help and apply them to man too
2240N/A
2240N/A* write UI tool that pops up emergency messages from the journal as notification
2240N/A
2240N/A* think about window-manager-run-as-user-service problem: exit 0 → activate shutdown.target; exit != 0 → restart service
2240N/A
2240N/A* msgcatalog determine default language of entries from the catalog
2240N/A file name. i.e. foobar.de_DE.catalog would set the default entry
2240N/A name for the entries to de_DE if they aren't explicitly suffixed
2240N/A individually.
2240N/A
2240N/A* use "log level" rather than "log priority" everywhere
2240N/A
2240N/A* timedate: have global on/off switches for auto-time (NTP), and auto-timezone that connman can subscribe to.
2240N/A
2240N/A* dev-setup.c: when running in a container, create a tiny stub udev
2240N/A database with the systemd tag set for all network interfaces found,
2240N/A so that libudev reports them as present, and systemd's .device units
2284N/A will be activated.
2284N/A
2284N/A* merge unit_kill_common() and unit_kill_context()
2284N/A
2284N/A* introduce ExecCondition= in services
2284N/A
2284N/A* EFI:
2284N/A - fsck hookup for the ESP mount is missing
2284N/A - write man page for efi boot generator
2284N/A - honor language efi variables for default language selection (if there are any?)
2284N/A - honor timezone efi variables for default timezone selection (if there are any?)
2284N/A - change bootctl to be backed by systemd-bootd to control temporary and persistent default boot goal plus efi variables
2284N/A
2284N/A* maybe do not install getty@tty1.service symlink in /etc but in /usr?
2284N/A
2805N/A* re-enable "make check" for gtk-doc (broken for unknown reason)
2805N/A
2805N/A* fstab: add new mount option x-systemd-after=/foobar/waldo to allow manual dependencies to other mount points
2805N/A https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=812826
2805N/A
2805N/A* print a nicer explanation if people use variable/specifier expansion in ExecStart= for the first word
2805N/A
2805N/A* mount: turn dependency information from /proc/self/mountinfo into dependency information between systemd units.
2805N/A
2805N/A* logind:
2805N/A - logind: optionally, ignore idle-hint logic for autosuspend, block suspend as long as a session is around
2805N/A - When we update the kernel all kind of hibernation should be prohibited until shutdown/reboot
2805N/A - logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
2805N/A - Add pretty name for seats in logind
2805N/A - logind: allow showing logout dialog from system?
2805N/A - logind: spawn user@..service on login
2805N/A - logind: non-local X11 server handling
2805N/A - logind: add equivalent to sd_pid_get_owner_uid() to the D-Bus API
2805N/A - pam: when leaving a session explicitly exclude the ReleaseSession() caller process from the killing spree
2805N/A - logind: GetSessionByPID() should accept 0 as PID value
2805N/A - we should probably handle SIGTERM/SIGINT to not leave dot files around, just in case
2805N/A
2805N/A* exec: when deinitializating a tty device fix the perms and group, too, not only when initializing. Set access mode/gid to 0620/tty.
2805N/A
2805N/A* DeviceAllow/DeviceDeny: disallow everything by default, but whitelist /dev/zero, /dev/null and friends
2805N/A
2805N/A* service: watchdog logic: for testing purposes allow ping, but do not require pong
2805N/A
2805N/A* journal:
2805N/A - do not use magic msync() in src/journal/journal-file.c, just call fsync()
2805N/A <alxchk> poettering: looks like msync just calls vfs_fsync
2805N/A http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/mm/msync.c#n18
2805N/A - import and delete pstore filesystem content at startup
2805N/A - journald: also get thread ID from client, plus thread name
2805N/A - journal: when waiting for journal additions in the client always sleep at least 1s or so, in order to minimize wakeups
2805N/A - add API to close/reopen/get fd for journal client fd in libsystemd-journal.
2805N/A - fallback to /dev/log based logging in libsystemd-journal, if we can't log natively?
2805N/A - declare the local journal protocol stable in the wiki interface chart
3212N/A - journal: reuse XZ context
3212N/A - sd-journal: speed up sd_journal_get_data() with transparent hash table in bg
3212N/A - journald: when dropping msgs due to ratelimit make sure to write
3212N/A "dropped %u messages" not only when we are about to print the next
3212N/A message that works, but alraedy after a short tiemout
3212N/A - check if we can make journalctl by default use --follow mode inside of less if called without args?
2240N/A - maybe add API to send pairs of iovecs via sd_journal_send
2240N/A - journal: when writing journal auto-rotate if time jumps backwards
2240N/A - journal: add a setgid "systemd-journal" utility to invoke from libsystemd-journal, which passes fds via STDOUT and does PK access
2240N/A - journactl: support negative filtering, i.e. FOOBAR!="waldo",
2240N/A and !FOOBAR for events without FOOBAR.
2240N/A - journal: when rotating, copy over old acls/access mode
3158N/A - journal: send out marker messages every now and then, and immediately sync with fdatasync() afterwards, in order to have hourly guaranteed syncs.
2240N/A - 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.
2240N/A - journal: find a way to allow dropping history early, based on priority, other rules
2240N/A - journal: When used on NFS, check payload hashes
2240N/A - journald: check whether it is OK if the client can still modify delivered journal entries
3158N/A - journal live copy, based on libneon (client) and libmicrohttpd (server)
2240N/A - journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
2240N/A - refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
2240N/A - journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
2240N/A - journal: deal nicely with byte-by-byte copied files, especially regards header
3158N/A - journalctl: expand tabs
3158N/A - journal: store euid in journal if it differs from uid
2240N/A - journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the components would fit
2240N/A - Replace utmp, wtmp, btmp, and lastlog completely with journal
2240N/A - Port upower to use the journal for historical power information used in future calculations
2240N/A
2240N/A* document:
3158N/A - document unit_name_mangle()
2240N/A - document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fileds in
2240N/A [Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
2240N/A - man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
2240N/A - Document word splitting syntax for ExecStart= and friends
2240N/A - document that units from /etc override those from /usr and /run
3158N/A - document the exit codes when services fail before they are exec()ed
3158N/A - document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
3158N/A - document in wiki how to map ical recurrence events to systemd timer unit calendar specifications
2240N/A
2240N/A* systemctl:
2240N/A - systemctl list-jobs - show dependencies
2240N/A - add systemctl switch to dump transaction without executing it
2240N/A - Add a verbose mode to "systemctl start" and friends that explains what is being done or not done
3158N/A - "systemctl disable" on a static unit prints no message and does
3158N/A nothing. "systemctl enable" does nothing, and gives a bad message
3158N/A about it. Should fix both to print nice actionable messages.
3158N/A - print nice message from systemctl --failed if there are no entries shown, and hook that into ExecStartPre of rescue.service/emergency.service
3158N/A - add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
2240N/A - systemctl enable: improve the success messages (i.e. more human readable, less shell-like)
2240N/A - systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into doesn't exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
2240N/A - systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
2240N/A - support "systemctl stop foobar@.service" to stop all units matching a certain template
3158N/A - Something is wrong with symlink handling of "autovt@.service" in "systemctl list-unit-files"
3158N/A
2240N/A* introduce ntp.service (or suchlike) as symlink that is used to arbitrate between various NTP implementations
2240N/A
2240N/A* deal with sendmail/postfix exclusivity
2240N/A
3158N/A* timer units:
3158N/A - configurable jitter for timer events
2240N/A - timer events with system resume
2240N/A - timer units should get the ability to trigger when:
2805N/A o CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (TFD_TIMER_CANCEL_ON_SET)
2805N/A o DST changes
3158N/A - Support 2012-02~4 as syntax for specifying the fourth to last day of the month.
3158N/A
2805N/A* update the kernel's TZ (sys_tz) when DST changes
2805N/A
3278N/A* sync down the system time to the RTC when:
3278N/A - CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (the user explicitely requested a time set)
3278N/A - DST/timezone changes && ntp is active && RTC-in-localtime (never do it without ntp)
3278N/A This takes care of syncing ntpdate updates to the RTC, and DST updates for localtime
3278N/A mode, it will never touch the RTC if the no reliable time source is active or the
3278N/A user did not request anything like it.
3278N/A
3278N/A* if booted in "quiet" mode, and an error happens, turn on status
3278N/A output again, so that the emergency mode isn't totally
3278N/A surprising. Also, terminate plymouth.
3278N/A
2240N/A* libunwind support for coredump pattern hook, and includes this in
2240N/A the message for coredumps. After all, libunwind is now capable to
2240N/A unwind coredumps since a few weeks ago. This probably requires that
2240N/A we have nice support for multi-line messages on display in
2240N/A logs-show.c. Alternatively: use libelfutil, which seems to be the
2240N/A better supported alternative.
2240N/A
2240N/A* figure out relation of --all and --full in the various tools
2240N/A
2240N/A* add libsystemd-password or so to query passwords during boot using the password agent logic
2240N/A
2240N/A* 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().
2240N/A
2240N/A* fedup: add --unit to systemctl switch-root somehow
2240N/A* fedup: don't delete initrd on switch-root
3158N/A* fedup: generator
3158N/A
2240N/A* timedated:
2240N/A - timedated: refuse time changes when NTP is on
2240N/A
2240N/A* clean up date formatting and parsing so that all absolute/relative timestamps we format can also be parsed
2240N/A
3158N/A* introduce generic AUGMENT_PID=, AUGMENT_DEVICE= fields
3158N/A
2240N/A* on shutdown: move utmp, wall, audit logic all into PID 1 (or logind?), get rid of systemd-update-utmp-runlevel
2240N/A
2240N/A* add "provisioning" instructions to setup an empty /etc + /var
2240N/A - used to setup a new container from a shared /usr
2240N/A - superset of tmpfiles model
2240N/A - instructions shipped by packages and stored in /usr/lib/
2240N/A - compose /etc/passwd and /etc/group, copy files
2240N/A - able to create uid + gid used by packages, for file ownership
2240N/A
2240N/A* make repeated alt-ctrl-del presses printing a dump, or even force a reboot without
2240N/A waiting for the timeout
2240N/A
2284N/A* high level net_prio setting in execution context
2240N/A
2240N/A* hostnamed: before returning information from /etc/machine-info.conf check the modification data and reread. Similar for localed, ...
2240N/A
2240N/A* currently x-systemd.timeout is lost in the initrd, since crypttab is copied into dracut, but fstab isn't
2240N/A
2240N/A* refuse boot if /etc/machine-id is not useful (or set taint?)
3158N/A
2240N/A* nspawn:
3158N/A - nspawn: consider changing users for -u with su, so that NSS resolving works correctly
2240N/A - nspawn: implement personality changes a la linux32(8)
2240N/A - nspawn: --read-only is not applied recursively to submounts
2240N/A - nspawn: make use of device cgroup controller by default
2240N/A - bind mount read-only the cgroup tree higher than nspawn
2240N/A - nspawn: investigate whether we can support the same as LXC's
3460N/A lxc.network.type=phys mode, and pass through entire network
3460N/A interfaces to the container
3460N/A - nspawn: maybe add a way to drop additional caps, in addition to add additional caps
3460N/A - nspawn: maybe explicitly reset loginuid?
3460N/A - nspawn: make it work for dwalsh and shared /usr containers -- tmpfs mounts as command line parameters, selinux exec context
2240N/A
3460N/A* cryptsetup:
2240N/A - cryptsetup-generator: allow specification of passwords in crypttab itself
3158N/A - move cryptsetup key caching into kernel keyctl?
2240N/A https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54982
3158N/A - support rd.luks.allow-discards= kernel cmdline params in cryptsetup generator
2240N/A
2240N/A* move debug shell to tty6 and make sure this doesn't break the gettys on tty6
2240N/A
3339N/A* hw watchdog: optionally try to use the preset watchdog timeout instead of always overriding it
2240N/A https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54712
2240N/A
2240N/A* after deserializing sockets in socket.c we should reapply sockopts and things
2240N/A
2240N/A* make timer units go away after they elapsed
2240N/A
2240N/A* http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2012-September/006502.html
2240N/A (network and remote-fs on shutdown)
2240N/A
2240N/A* come up with a nice way to write queue/read_ahead_kb for a block device without interfering with readahead
2240N/A
2240N/A* move PID 1 segfaults to /var/lib/systemd/coredump?
2240N/A
2240N/A* create /sbin/init symlinks from the build system
2240N/A
3158N/A* Query Paul Moore about relabelling socket fds while they are open
3158N/A
2240N/A* system.conf should have controls for cgroups
2240N/A
2240N/A* allow writing multiple conditions in unit files on one line
2240N/A
2240N/A* explore multiple service instances per listening socket idea
2240N/A
3158N/A* shutdown: don't read-only mount anything when running in container
3158N/A
2240N/A* MountFlags=shared acts as MountFlags=slave right now.
2240N/A
2240N/A* ReadOnlyDirectories= is not applied recursively to submounts
2240N/A
2240N/A* drop PID 1 reloading, only do reexecing (difficult: Reload()
2240N/A currently is properly synchronous, Reexec() is weird, because we
2240N/A can't delay the response properly until we are back, so instead of
2240N/A being properly synchronous we just keep open the fd and close it
2240N/A when done. That means clients don't get a successful method reply,
2240N/A but much rather a disconnect on success.
2240N/A
2240N/A* use opterr = 0 for all getopt tools
2240N/A
2240N/A* properly handle loop back mounts via fstab, especially regards to fsck/passno
2240N/A
2240N/A* allow services with no ExecStart= but with an ExecStop=
3339N/A
2240N/A* dracut-shutdown needs to be ordered before unmounting /boot
2240N/A
2240N/A* initialize the hostname from the fs label of /, if /etc/hostname does not exist?
2240N/A
2240N/A* rename "userspace" to "core-os"
2240N/A
2240N/A* syscall filter:
2240N/A - syscall filter: add knowledge about compat syscalls
2240N/A - syscall filter: don't enforce no new privs?
2240N/A - syscall filter: option to return EPERM rather than SIGSYS?
2240N/A - syscall filter: port to libseccomp
2240N/A - system-wide seccomp filter
3158N/A
3158N/A* .device aliases need to be implemented with the "following" logic, probably.
2240N/A
2240N/A* load-fragment: when loading a unit file via a chain of symlinks
2240N/A verify that it isn't masked via any of the names traversed.
2240N/A
2240N/A* introduce Type=pid-file
2240N/A
2240N/A* change Requires=basic.target to RequisiteOverride=basic.target
2240N/A
2240N/A* when breaking cycles drop sysv services first, then services from /run, then from /etc, then from /usr
2240N/A
2240N/A* move passno parsing to fstab generator
2240N/A
2240N/A* automount: implement expire:
2240N/A - set superblock timeout AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_TIMEOUT_CMD
2240N/A - periodically run AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_EXPIRE_CMD
2240N/A - every timeout/4 (original autofs logic)
2240N/A - blocking, needs a thread
2240N/A - run until -EAGAIN
2240N/A - receive expire packet on pipe if kernel tells the timeout is over
2240N/A - call umount
2240N/A - answer expire packet on pipe with AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_{READY,FAIL}_CMD
3158N/A - AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_EXPIRE_CMD returns
3158N/A
3158N/A* services which create their own subcgroups break cgroup-empty notification (needs to be fixed in the kernel)
2240N/A
2240N/A* ExecOnFailure=/usr/bin/foo
2240N/A
2240N/A* udev:
2240N/A - remove src/udev/udev-builtin-firmware.c (CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER=n)
2240N/A - move to LGPL
2240N/A - unify utf8 validator code with shared/
2240N/A - kill scsi_id
2240N/A - add trigger --subsystem-match=usb/usb_device device
2958N/A
2240N/A* cleanup syslog 'priority' vs. 'level' wording
2240N/A
2240N/A* when a service has the same env var set twice we actually store it twice and return that in systemctl show -p... We should only show the last setting
2240N/A
2240N/A* support container_ttys=
2240N/A
2240N/A* introduce mix of BindTo and Requisite
2284N/A
2240N/A* add DeleteSocketsOnStop=yes|no option to socket units
2240N/A
2240N/A* There's currently no way to cancel fsck (used to be possible via C-c or c on the console)
2240N/A
2240N/A* add option to sockets to avoid activation. Instead just drop packets/connections, see http://cyberelk.net/tim/2012/02/15/portreserve-systemd-solution/
2240N/A
3158N/A* default unix qlen is too small (10). bump sysctl? add sockopt?
2284N/A
3158N/A* save coredump in Windows/Mozilla minidump format
2240N/A
2240N/A* support crash reporting operation modes (https://live.gnome.org/GnomeOS/Design/Whiteboards/ProblemReporting)
2240N/A
2240N/A* clean up session cgroups that remain after logout (think sshd), but eventually run empty
2240N/A
3460N/A* when an instanced service exits, remove its parent cgroup too if possible.
3460N/A
3460N/A* default to actual 32bit PIDs, via /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max
3460N/A
3460N/A* be able to specify a forced restart of service A where service B depends on, in case B
3460N/A needs to be auto-respawned?
2240N/A
3460N/A* when a bus name of a service disappears from the bus make sure to queue further activation requests
2240N/A
3158N/A* tmpfiles: apply "x" on "D" too (see patch from William Douglas)
2284N/A
3158N/A* for services: don't set $HOME in services unless requested
2240N/A
3460N/A* hide PAM/TCPWrap options in fragment parser when compile time disabled
3158N/A
2240N/A* when we automatically restart a service, ensure we restart its rdeps, too.
3158N/A
2240N/A* allow Type=simple with PIDFile=
3460N/A https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=723942
3158N/A
2240N/A* move PAM code into its own binary
3158N/A
3158N/A* implement Register= switch in .socket units to enable registration
2240N/A in Avahi, RPC and other socket registration services.
2240N/A
3339N/A* make sure systemd-ask-password-wall does not shutdown systemd-ask-password-console too early
2240N/A
2240N/A* support sd_notify() style notification when reload begins (RELOADING=1), reload is finished (READY=1), and add ReloadSignal= then to use in combination
2240N/A
2240N/A* support sd_notify() style notification when shutting down, to make auto-exit bus services work (STOPPING=1)
2240N/A
2240N/A* verify that the AF_UNIX sockets of a service in the fs still exist
2240N/A when we start a service in order to avoid confusion when a user
2240N/A assumes starting a service is enough to make it accessible
2240N/A
2240N/A* support User= and Group= attributes for AF_UNIX sockets.
2240N/A
2240N/A* Make it possible to set the keymap independently from the font on
2240N/A the kernel cmdline. Right now setting one resets also the other.
2240N/A
2240N/A* and a dbus call to generate target from current state
3158N/A
3158N/A* readahead:
3158N/A - drop /.readahead on bigger upgrades with yum
3158N/A - move readahead files into /var (look for them with .path units?)
2240N/A - readahead: use BTRFS_IOC_DEFRAG_RANGE instead of BTRFS_IOC_DEFRAG ioctl, with START_IO
2240N/A - readahead: when bumping /sys readahead variable save mtime and compare later to detect changes
2240N/A - readahead: make use of EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT, as used by http://e4rat.sourceforge.net/
2240N/A
2240N/A* add support for /bin/mount -s
2240N/A
2240N/A* GC unreferenced jobs (such as .device jobs)
2240N/A
2240N/A* write blog stories about:
2958N/A - hwdb: what belongs into it, lsusb
2240N/A - enabling dbus services
2240N/A - status update
2240N/A - how to make changes to sysctl and sysfs attributes

3460N/A
3460N/A* maybe introduce ExecRestartPre=
3460N/A
2240N/A* dot output for --test showing the 'initial transaction'
3460N/A
2240N/A* port over to LISTEN_FDS/LISTEN_PID:
3158N/A - rpcbind (/var/run/rpcbind.sock!) HAVEPATCH
2240N/A - cups HAVEPATCH
3158N/A - postfix, saslauthd
2240N/A - apache/samba
3460N/A - libvirtd (/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock-ro)
3158N/A - bluetoothd (/var/run/sdp! @/org/bluez/audio!)
2240N/A - distccd
3158N/A
2240N/A* fingerprint.target, wireless.target, gps.target, netdevice.target
3460N/A
3158N/A* io priority during initialization
2240N/A
3158N/A* drop cap bounding set in readahead and other services
3158N/A
2240N/A* systemd-python:
2240N/A - figure out a simple way to wait for journal events in a way that
3339N/A works with ^C
2240N/A - add documentation to systemd.daemon
2240N/A
2240N/A* bootchart:
2240N/A - plot per-process IO utilization
2240N/A - group processes based on service association (cgroups)
2240N/A - document initcall_debug
2240N/A - kernel cmdline "bootchart" option for simplicity?
2240N/A
2240N/A* systemd-run is missing zsh completion scripts
2240N/A
2240N/AExternal:
2240N/A
2240N/A* dbus:
2240N/A - dbus --user
2240N/A - natively watch for dbus-*.service symlinks (PENDING)
3158N/A - allow specification of socket mode/umask when allocating DBusServer
3158N/A - allow disabling of fd passing when connecting a AF_UNIX connection
3158N/A - allow disabling of UID passing for AUTH EXTERNAL
3158N/A - always pass cred data along each message
2240N/A - teach dbus to activate all services it finds in /etc/systemd/services/org-*.service
2240N/A
2240N/A* fix alsa mixer restore to not print error when no config is stored
2240N/A
2240N/A* make cryptsetup lower --iter-time
2240N/A
2240N/A* patch kernel for xattr support in /dev, /proc/, /sys?
2240N/A
2240N/A* NTP: the kernel's 11-minutes-mode syncs the system time to the RTC, but only
2240N/A in an ~30 minutes window. It does not adjust larger differences. Find a way
2240N/A to tell the kernel, to always do a full time sync when the RTC is in UTC and
2240N/A we are in 11-minutes-mode. When we trust the system time to NTP we also want
2240N/A the RTC to sync up.
2240N/A
2240N/A* kernel: add device_type = "fb", "fbcon" to class "graphics"
2240N/A
2240N/A* drop accountsservice's StandardOutput=syslog and Type=dbus fields
2240N/A
3158N/A* dbus upstream still refers to dbus.target and shouldn't
2240N/A
3158N/A* dbus: in fedora, make /var/lib/dbus/machine-id a symlink to /etc/machine-id
2240N/A
2240N/A* add "# export SYSTEMD_PAGER=" to bash login
2240N/A
3339N/A* /usr/bin/service should actually show the new command line
2240N/A
2240N/A* fedora: suggest auto-restart on failure, but not on success and not on coredump. also, ask people to think about changing the start limit logic. Also point people to RestartPreventExitStatus=, SuccessExitStatus=
2240N/A
2240N/A* fedora: F20: go timer units all the way, leave cron.daily for cron
2240N/A
2240N/A* neither pkexec nor sudo initialize environ[] from the PAM environment?
2240N/A
2240N/A* fedora: update policy to declare access mode and ownership of unit files to root:root 0644, and add an rpmlint check for it
2240N/A
2240N/ARegularly:
2240N/A
2240N/A* look for close() vs. close_nointr() vs. close_nointr_nofail()
2240N/A
2240N/A* check for strerror(r) instead of strerror(-r)
2240N/A
2240N/A* Use PR_SET_PROCTITLE_AREA if it becomes available in the kernel
2240N/A
2240N/A* %m in printf() instead of strerror(errno);
2240N/A
3158N/A* pahole
2240N/A
2240N/A* set_put(), hashmap_put() return values check. i.e. == 0 doesn't free()!
2240N/A
2240N/A* use secure_getenv() instead of getenv() where appropriate
2240N/A
2240N/A* link up selected blog stories from man pages and unit files Documentation= fields
2240N/A
3158N/AScheduled for removal or fixing:
3158N/A
3158N/A* xxxOverridable dependencies (probably: fix)
2240N/A
