TODO revision aea040c87280c41cb99b64b55f7368661a2d9912
0N/ABugfixes:
0N/A
0N/A* Should systemctl status \* work on all unit types, not just .service?
0N/A
0N/A* Dangling symlinks of .automount unit files in .wants/ directories, set up
0N/A automount points even when the original .automount file did not exist
0N/A anymore. Only the .mount unit was still around.
0N/A
0N/A* ExecStart with unicode characters fails in strv_split_quoted:
0N/A
0N/A [Service]
0N/A Environment=ONE='one' "TWO='two two' too" THREE=
0N/A ExecStart=/bin/python3 -c 'import sys;print(sys.argv)' $ONE $TWO $THREE
0N/A
0N/A* When systemctl --host is used, underlying ssh connection can remain open.
0N/A bus_close does not kill children?
0N/A
0N/AExternal:
873N/A
0N/A* Fedora: add an rpmlint check that verifies that all unit files in the RPM are listed in %systemd_post macros.
0N/A
0N/A* Fedora: move kernel image to /usr/lib/modules/, kernel-install will take care of populating /boot
0N/A
0N/A* Fedora: remove /etc/resolv.conf tmpfiles hack
733N/A
0N/A* wiki: update journal format documentation for lz4 additions
0N/A
0N/A* When lz4 gets an API for lz4 command output, make use of it to
0N/A compress coredumps in a way compatible with /usr/bin/lz4.
0N/A
0N/ABefore 220:
0N/A
0N/A* Figure out why 13790add4 breaks boot across all distributions. Revert it if
0N/A we cannot get it fixed.
659N/A
0N/A* rework fsckd/fsck's connection logic or remove fsck entirely
0N/A
1155N/A* fix userns support in nspawn, or remove it entirely
0N/A
0N/A* make unmount-on-eject work again
0N/A
0N/A* bus-proxy: GetConnectionSELinuxSecurityContext() is completely broken
0N/A
0N/A* timer units triggering services with failing conditions run busy:
0N/A http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-April/030095.html
0N/A
0N/AFeatures:
0N/A
0N/A* networkd: make DHCP server IP range configurable, including only with a single IP address
338N/A
0N/A* rework C11 utf8.[ch] to use char32_t instead of uint32_t when referring
338N/A to unicode chars, to make things more expressive.
338N/A
0N/A* networkd: MTU= switch for .network units needs documentation in systemd.network(5)
0N/A
0N/A* "machinectl migrate" or similar to copy a container from or to a
0N/A difference host, via ssh
0N/A
0N/A* tmpfiles: creating new directories/subvolumes/fifos/device nodes
0N/A should not follow symlinks. None of the other adjustment or creation
0N/A calls follow symlinks.
879N/A
868N/A* bus-proxy: fix return code when releasing name that we don't have:
868N/A http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-April/030494.html
0N/A
0N/A* fstab-generator: default to tmpfs-as-root if only usr= is specified on the kernel cmdline
0N/A
1155N/A* docs: bring http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/MyServiceCantGetRealtime up to date
1155N/A
1155N/A* mounting and unmounting mount points manually with different source
1329N/A devices will result in collected collected on all devices used.
0N/A http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-April/030225.html
0N/A
0N/A* whe should apply a stop limit (similar to the existing start limit),
0N/A so that we don't enter unbounded umount loops:
0N/A http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-April/030224.html
0N/A
0N/A* add a job mode that will fail if a transaction would mean stopping
0N/A running units. Use this in timedated to manage the NTP service
0N/A state.
1155N/A http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-April/030229.html
0N/A
1155N/A* Maybe add support for the equivalent of "ethtool advertise" to .link files?
1155N/A http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-April/030112.html
9N/A
0N/A* fstab-generator should generate systemd-fsck-root.service when
0N/A running in the initrd, and operate on the right device.
0N/A
0N/A* .timer units should optionally support CLOCK_BOOTTIME in addition to CLOCK_MONOTONIC
0N/A
0N/A* systemd-run should support a mode where we wait for the unit to be started up
0N/A
0N/A* create a btrfs qgroup for /var/lib/machines, and add all container
0N/A subvolumes we create to it.
0N/A
0N/A* nspawn: add --overlay= to support overlay file systems, similar to
0N/A --tmpfs= and --bind=.
0N/A
0N/A* When logging about multiple units (stopping BoundTo units, conflicts, etc.),
0N/A log both units as UNIT=, so that journalctl -u triggers on both.
0N/A
0N/A* to allow "linking" of nspawn containers, extend --network-bridge= so
0N/A that it can dynamically create bridge interfaces that are refcounted
0N/A by the containers on them. For each group of containers to link together
0N/A
0N/A* journalctl --verify: don't show files that are currently being
0N/A written to as FAIL, but instead show that their are being written
0N/A to.
0N/A
0N/A* assign MESSAGE_ID to log messages about failed services
0N/A
0N/A* coredump: make the handler check /proc/$PID/rlimits for RLIMIT_CORE,
0N/A and supress coredump if turned off. Then change RLIMIT_CORE to
0N/A infinity by default for all services. This then allows per-service
0N/A control of coredumping.
0N/A
0N/A* generate better errors when people try to set transient properties
0N/A that are not supported...
0N/A http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-February/028076.html
0N/A
0N/A* PID 1: when invoking systemctl preset-all on first boots, operate in
0N/A an exclusively additive way, i.e. never remove any pre-existing
0N/A symlinks, only add new ones.
0N/A
0N/A* Introduce $LISTEN_NAMES to complement $LISTEN_FDS, containing a
0N/A colon separated list of identifiers for the fds passed.
0N/A
0N/A* when the fstab-generator runs in the initrd, it should create a /dev/null mask for systemd-fsck-root.service, to avoid that the the root fs is fsck'ed twice.
0N/A
0N/A* maybe introduce WantsMountsFor=? Usecase:
0N/A http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-January/027729.html
0N/A
0N/A* rework kexec logic to use new kexec_file_load() syscall, so that we
0N/A don't have to call kexec tool anymore.
0N/A
1155N/A* The udev blkid built-in should expose a property that reflects
0N/A whether media was sensed in USB CF/SD card readers. This should then
1329N/A be used to control SYSTEMD_READY=1/0 so that USB card readers aren't
0N/A picked up by systemd unless they contain a medium. This would mirror
1329N/A the behaviour we already have for CD drives.
1329N/A
1329N/A* nspawn: emulate /dev/kmsg using CUSE and turn off the syslog syscall
1329N/A with seccomp. That should provide us with a useful log buffer that
0N/A systemd can log to during early boot, and disconnect container logs
1329N/A from the kernel's logs.
1329N/A
1329N/A* networkd/udev: implement SR_IOV configuration in .link files:
1329N/A http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-January/027451.html
1329N/A
1329N/A* When RLIMIT_NPROC is set from a unit file it currently always is set
0N/A for root, not for the user set in User=, which makes it
0N/A useless. After fixing this, set RLIMIT_NPROC for
0N/A systemd-journal-xyz, and all other of our services that run under
0N/A their own user ids, and use User= (but only in a world where userns
0N/A is ubiquitous since otherwise we cannot invoke those daemons on the
0N/A host AND in a container anymore). Also, if LimitNPROC= is used
0N/A without User= we should warn and refuse operation.
0N/A
0N/A* logind: maybe allow configuration of the StopTimeout for session scopes
0N/A
0N/A* Set NoNewPriviliges= on all of our own services, where that makes sense
0N/A
0N/A* Rework systemctl's GetAll property parsing to use the generic bus_map_all_properties() API
0N/A
0N/A* rework journald sigbus stuff to use mutex
0N/A
0N/A* import-dkr: support tarsum checksum verification, if it becomes reality one day...
0N/A
0N/A* import-dkr: convert json bits to nspawn configuration
0N/A
0N/A* 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
0N/A
0N/A* introduce systemd-nspawn-ephemeral@.service, and hook it into "machinectl start" with a new --ephemeral switch
0N/A
0N/A* "machinectl status" should also show internal logs of the container in question
0N/A
0N/A* "machinectl list-images" should show os-release data, as well as machine-info data (including deployment level)
0N/A
0N/A* 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
0N/A
868N/A* Port various tools to make use of verbs.[ch], where applicable
868N/A
879N/A* "machinectl history"
868N/A
0N/A* "machinectl diff"
0N/A
0N/A* "machinectl commit" that takes a writable snapshot of a tree, invokes a shell in it, and marks it read-only after use
0N/A
0N/A* systemd-nspawn -x should support ephemeral instances of gpt images
1177N/A
1329N/A* hostnamectl: show root image uuid
0N/A
0N/A* sysfs set api in libudev is not const
0N/A
0N/A* Find a solution for SMACK capabilities stuff:
0N/A http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-December/026188.html
0N/A
0N/A* port libmount hookup to use API's own inotify interface, as soon as that is table in libmount
0N/A
0N/A* "systemctl preset-all" should probably order the unit files it
0N/A operates on lexicographically before starting to work, in order to
868N/A ensure deterministic behaviour if two unit files conflict (like DMs
868N/A do, for example)
879N/A
868N/A* resolved should optionally register additional per-interface LLMNR
0N/A names, so that for the container case we can establish the same name
0N/A (maybe "host") for referencing the server, everywhere.
0N/A
0N/A* systemd-journal-upload (or a new, related tool): allow pushing out
0N/A journal messages onto the network in BSD syslog protocol,
1177N/A continuously. Default to some link-local IP mcast group, to make this
1329N/A useful as a one-stop debugging tool.
0N/A
0N/A* synchronize console access with BSD locks:
0N/A http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-October/024582.html
0N/A
0N/A* as soon as we have kdbus, and sender timestamps, revisit coalescing multiple parallel daemon reloads:
0N/A http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-December/025862.html
1155N/A
0N/A* the install state probably shouldn't get confused by generated units, think dbus1/kdbus compat!
0N/A
0N/A* in systemctl list-unit-files: show the install value the presets would suggest for a service in a third column
1155N/A
0N/A* figure out when we can use the coarse timers
1329N/A
1329N/A* sd-resolve: drop res_query wrapping, people should call via the bus to resolved instead
1329N/A
0N/A* add "systemctl start -v foobar.service" that shows logs of a service
1329N/A while the start command runs. This is non-trivial to do without
1329N/A races though, since we should flush out all journal messages before
1329N/A returning from the "systemctl stop".
1329N/A
1329N/A* 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
1329N/A
1329N/A* timesyncd + resolved: add ugly bus calls to set NTP and DNS servers per-interface, for usage by NM
1329N/A
1329N/A* 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
0N/A
0N/A* machined: add an API so that libvirt-lxc can inform us about network interfaces being removed or added to an existing machine
0N/A
0N/A* maybe add support for specifier expansion in user.conf, specifically DefaultEnvironment=
0N/A
0N/A* code cleanup: retire FOREACH_WORD_QUOTED, port to unquote_first_word() loops instead
1329N/A
0N/A* introduce systemd-timesync-wait.service or so to sync on an NTP fix?
0N/A
0N/A* systemd --user should issue sd_notify() upon reaching basic.target, not on becoming idle
611N/A
611N/A* consider showing the unit names during boot up in the status output, not just the unit descriptions
611N/A
611N/A* dhcp: do we allow configuring dhcp routes on interfaces that are not the one we got the dhcp info from?
611N/A
611N/A* maybe allow timer units with an empty Units= setting, so that they
868N/A can be used for resuming the system but nothing else.
868N/A
879N/A* what to do about udev db binary stability for apps? (raw access is not an option)
868N/A
611N/A* maybe provide an API to allow migration of foreign PIDs into existing scopes.
1155N/A
611N/A* maybe support a new very "soft" reboot mode, that simply kills all processes, disassembles everything, flushes /run and sysvipc, and then reexecs systemd again
1177N/A
611N/A* man: document that corrupted journal files is nothing to act on
611N/A
0N/A* man: maybe use the word "inspect" rather than "introspect"?
0N/A
0N/A* "machinectl list" should probably show columns for OS version and IP addresses
0N/A
0N/A* systemctl: if some operation fails, show log output?
0N/A
0N/A* systemctl edit:
0N/A- allow creation of units from scratch
0N/A- use equvalent of cat() to insert existing config as a comment, prepended with #.
0N/A Upon editor exit, lines with one # are removed, lines with two # are left with one #, etc.
0N/A
0N/A* refcounting in sd-resolve is borked
0N/A
0N/A* exponential backoff in timesyncd and resolved when we cannot reach a server
0N/A
0N/A* unquote_many_words() should probably be used by a lot of code that
0N/A currently uses FOREACH_WORD and friends. For example, most conf
1155N/A parsing callbacks should use it.
0N/A
0N/A* merge ~/.local/share and ~/.local/lib into one similar /usr/lib and /usr/share....
0N/A
0N/A* systemd.show_status= should probably have a mode where only failed
0N/A units are shown.
0N/A
0N/A* add systemd.abort_on_kill or some other such flag to send SIGABRT instead of SIGKILL
0N/A (throughout the codebase, not only PID1)
868N/A
868N/A* networkd:
879N/A - add LLDP client side support
868N/A - the DHCP lease data (such as NTP/DNS) is still made available when
0N/A a carrier is lost on a link. It should be removed instantly.
0N/A - .network setting that allows overriding of the hostname to send to the dhcp server
0N/A http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-July/021550.html
0N/A - expose in the API the following bits:
0N/A - option 15, domain name and/or option 119, search list
0N/A - option 12, host name and/or option 81, fqdn
0N/A - option 100, 101, timezone
0N/A - option 123, 144, geolocation
0N/A - option 252, configure http proxy (PAC/wpad)
0N/A - networkd's dhcp server should transparently pass on the DNS and
0N/A NTP server list it got from user configuration and its dhcp client
0N/A to clients. It should also pass on its own timezone information.
868N/A - provide a way to define a per-network interface default metric value
868N/A for all routes to it. possibly a second default for DHCP routes.
879N/A - allow Name= to be specified repeatedly in the [Match] section. Maybe also
868N/A support Name=foo*|bar*|baz ?
0N/A - duplicate address check for static IPs (like ARPCHECK in network-scripts)
611N/A
611N/A* resolved:
611N/A - put networkd events and rtnl events at a higher priority, so that
611N/A we always process them before we process client requests
611N/A - DNSSEC
611N/A - use base64 for key presentation?
611N/A - add display of private key types (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4034#appendix-A.1.1)?
868N/A - add nice formatting of DNS timestamps
868N/A - DNS
879N/A - search paths
868N/A - mDNS/DNS-SD
611N/A - avahi compat
0N/A - DNS-SD service registration from socket units
0N/A - edns0
0N/A - dname
0N/A - cname on PTR (?)
0N/A - maybe randomize DNS UDP source ports
0N/A - maybe compare query section of DNS replies
0N/A
0N/A* Allow multiple ExecStart= for all Type= settings, so that we can cover rescue.service nicely
0N/A
0N/A* Add a new verb "systemctl top"
0N/A
0N/A* add new gpt type for btrfs volumes
0N/A
0N/A* support empty /etc boots nicely:
0N/A - nspawn/gpt-generator: introduce new gpt partition type for /usr
0N/A - fstab-generator: support systemd.volatile=yes|no|state on the kernel cmdline, too, similar to nspawn's --volatile=
0N/A
617N/A* generator that automatically discovers btrfs subvolumes, identifies their purpose based on some xattr on them.
617N/A
617N/A* timer units: actually add extra delays to timer units with high AccuracySec values, don't start them already when we are awake...
617N/A
617N/A* a way for container managers to turn off getty starting via $container_headless= or so...
617N/A
617N/A* figure out a nice way how we can let the admin know what child/sibling unit causes cgroup membership for a specific unit
617N/A
617N/A* mount_cgroup_controllers(): symlinks need to get the label applied
617N/A
617N/A* For timer units: add some mechanisms so that timer units that trigger immediately on boot do not have the services
617N/A they run added to the initial transaction and thus confuse Type=idle.
617N/A
617N/A* Run most system services with cgroupfs read-only and procfs with a more secure mode (doesn't work, since the hidepid= option is per-pid-namespace, not per-mount)
617N/A
0N/A* sd-event: generate a failure of a default event loop is executed out-of-thread
0N/A
0N/A* add bus api to query unit file's X fields.
0N/A
0N/A* consider adding RuntimeDirectoryUser= + RuntimeDirectoryGroup=
0N/A
0N/A* sd-event: define more intervals where we will shift wakeup intervals around in, 1h, 6h, 24h, ...
0N/A
0N/A* gpt-auto-generator:
0N/A - Support LUKS for root devices
0N/A - Define new partition type for encrypted swap? Support probed LUKS for encrypted swap?
0N/A - Make /home automount rather than mount?
0N/A
0N/A* add generator that pulls in systemd-network from containers when
0N/A CAP_NET_ADMIN is set, more than the loopback device is defined, even
0N/A when it is otherwise off
0N/A
0N/A* MessageQueueMessageSize= and RLimitFSIZE= (and suchlike) should use parse_iec_size().
0N/A
0N/A* "busctl status" works only as root on dbus1, since we cannot read
0N/A /proc/$PID/exe
0N/A
0N/A* implement Distribute= in socket units to allow running multiple
0N/A service instances processing the listening socket, and open this up
0N/A for ReusePort=
0N/A
0N/A* socket units: support creating sockets in different namespace,
0N/A opening it up for JoinsNamespaceOf=. This would require to fork off
0N/A a tiny process that joins the namespace and creates/binds the socket
0N/A and passes this back to PID1 via SCM_RIGHTS. This also could be used
0N/A to allow Chown/chgrp on sockets without requiring NSS in PID 1.
0N/A
0N/A* New service property: maximum CPU and wallclock runtime for a service
0N/A
0N/A* introduce bus call FreezeUnit(s, b), as well as "systemctl freeze
0N/A $UNIT" and "systemctl thaw $UNIT" as wrappers around this. The calls
0N/A should SIGSTOP all unit processes in a loop until all processes of
0N/A it are fully stopped. This can later be used for app management by
0N/A desktop UIs such as gnome-shell to freeze apps that are not visible
0N/A on screen, not unlike how job control works on the shell
0N/A
0N/A* cgroups:
0N/A - implement per-slice CPUFairScheduling=1 switch
0N/A - handle jointly mounted controllers correctly
0N/A - introduce high-level settings for RT budget, swappiness
0N/A - how to reset dynamically changed unit cgroup attributes sanely?
0N/A - when reloading configuration, apply new cgroup configuration
0N/A - when recursively showing the cgroup hierarchy, optionally also show
509N/A the hierarchies of child processes
0N/A
0N/A* transient units:
0N/A - add field to transient units that indicate whether systemd or somebody else saves/restores its settings, for integration with libvirt
0N/A - ensure scope units may be started only a single time
0N/A
0N/A* Automatically configure swap partition to use for hibernation by looking for largest swap partition on the root disk?
0N/A
0N/A* when we detect low battery and no AC on boot, show pretty splash and refuse boot
0N/A
0N/A* machined, localed: when we try to kill an empty cgroup, generate an ESRCH error over the bus
0N/A
0N/A* libsystemd-journal, libsystemd-login, libudev: add calls to easily attach these objects to sd-event event loops
0N/A
0N/A* be more careful what we export on the bus as (usec_t) 0 and (usec_t) -1
0N/A
0N/A* unify dispatch table in systemctl_main() and friends
0N/A
0N/A* 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
0N/A
0N/A* After coming back from hibernation reset hibernation swap partition using the /dev/snapshot ioctl APIs
0N/A
0N/A* If we try to find a unit via a dangling symlink, generate a clean
0N/A error. Currently, we just ignore it and read the unit from the search
0N/A path anyway.
0N/A
0N/A* refuse boot if /etc/os-release is missing or /etc/machine-id cannot be set up
0N/A
0N/A* btrfs raid assembly: some .device jobs stay stuck in the queue
0N/A
0N/A* make sure gdm does not use multi-user-x but the new default X configuration file, and then remove multi-user-x from systemd
0N/A
0N/A* man: the documentation of Restart= currently is very misleading and suggests the tools from ExecStartPre= might get restarted.
0N/A
0N/A* load .d/*.conf dropins for device units
0N/A
0N/A* allow implementation of InaccessibleDirectories=/ plus
0N/A ReadOnlyDirectories=... for whitelisting files for a service.
0N/A
0N/A* sd-bus:
0N/A - GetAllProperties() on a non-existing object does not result in a failure currently
0N/A - kdbus: process fd=-1 for incoming msgs
0N/A - port to sd-resolve for connecting to TCP dbus servers
0N/A - kdbus: maybe add controlling tty metadata fields
0N/A - 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
0N/A - when kdbus does not take our message without memfds, try again with memfds
0N/A - see if we can drop more message validation on the sending side
0N/A - add API to clone sd_bus_message objects
0N/A - make AddMatch calls on dbus1 transports async?
0N/A - kdbus: matches against source or destination pids for an "strace -p"-like feel. Problem: The PID info needs to be available in userspace too...
0N/A - longer term: priority inheritance
0N/A - dbus spec updates:
0N/A - kdbus mapping
509N/A - NameLost/NameAcquired obsolete
0N/A - GVariant
0N/A - path escaping
0N/A - update systemd.special(7) to mention that dbus.socket is only about the compatibility socket now
0N/A - test bloom filter generation indexes
0N/A - bus-proxy: when passing messages from kdbus, make sure we properly
0N/A handle the case where a large number of fds is appended that we
0N/A cannot pass into sendmsg() of the AF_UNIX sokcet (which only accepts
0N/A 253 messages)
0N/A - kdbus: introduce a concept of "send-only" connections
0N/A - 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.
0N/A
0N/A* sd-event
0N/A - allow multiple signal handlers per signal?
0N/A - document chaining of signal handler for SIGCHLD and child handlers
0N/A
0N/A* in the final killing spree, detect processes from the root directory, and
0N/A complain loudly if they have argv[0][0] == '@' set.
0N/A https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=961044
0N/A
0N/A* investigate endianness issues of UUID vs. GUID
0N/A
0N/A* dbus: when a unit failed to load (i.e. is in UNIT_ERROR state), we
0N/A should be able to safely try another attempt when the bus call LoadUnit() is invoked.
0N/A
0N/A* add a pam module that passes the hdd passphrase into the PAM stack and then expires it, for usage by gdm auto-login.
0N/A
0N/A* add a pam module that on password changes updates any LUKS slot where the password matches
0N/A
0N/A* maybe add a generator that looks for "systemd.run=" on the kernel cmdline for container usercases...
0N/A
0N/A* cgtop: make cgtop useful in a container
0N/A
0N/A* test/:
0N/A - add 'set -e' to scripts in test/
0N/A - make stuff in test/ work with separate output dir
0N/A
0N/A* seems that when we follow symlinks to units we prefer the symlink
1057N/A destination path over /etc and /usr. We should not do that. Instead
1057N/A /etc should always override /run+/usr and also any symlink
0N/A destination.
1057N/A
509N/A* when isolating, try to figure out a way how we implicitly can order
0N/A all units we stop before the isolating unit...
0N/A
0N/A* teach ConditionKernelCommandLine= globs or regexes (in order to match foobar={no,0,off})
0N/A
0N/A* BootLoaderSpec: Clarify that the kernel has to be in $BOOT. Clarify
0N/A that the boot loader should be installed to the ESP. Define a way
0N/A how an installer can figure out whether a BLS compliant boot loader
0N/A is installed.
0N/A
0N/A* think about requeuing jobs when daemon-reload is issued? usecase:
0N/A the initrd issues a reload after fstab from the host is accessible
0N/A and we might want to requeue the mounts local-fs acquired through
0N/A that automatically.
0N/A
1057N/A* systemd-inhibit: make taking delay locks useful: support sending SIGINT or SIGTERM on PrepareForSleep()
0N/A
0N/A* journal-or-kmsg is currently broken? See reverted commit 4a01181e460686d8b4a543b1dfa7f77c9e3c5ab8.
0N/A
0N/A* remove any syslog support from log.c -- we probably cannot do this before split-off udev is gone for good
0N/A
0N/A* shutdown logging: store to EFI var, and store to USB stick?
0N/A
0N/A* write UI tool that pops up emergency messages from the journal as notification
1057N/A
0N/A* think about window-manager-run-as-user-service problem: exit 0 → activate shutdown.target; exit != 0 → restart service
0N/A
0N/A* merge unit_kill_common() and unit_kill_context()
0N/A
0N/A* introduce ExecCondition= in services
0N/A
0N/A* EFI:
0N/A - honor language efi variables for default language selection (if there are any?)
0N/A - honor timezone efi variables for default timezone selection (if there are any?)
0N/A - change bootctl to be backed by systemd-bootd to control temporary and persistent default boot goal plus efi variables
0N/A
0N/A* maybe do not install getty@tty1.service symlink in /etc but in /usr?
0N/A
0N/A* re-enable "make check" for gtk-doc (broken for unknown reason)
0N/A
0N/A* fstab: add new mount option x-systemd-after=/foobar/waldo to allow manual dependencies to other mount points
0N/A https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=812826
0N/A
0N/A* print a nicer explanation if people use variable/specifier expansion in ExecStart= for the first word
0N/A
0N/A* mount: turn dependency information from /proc/self/mountinfo into dependency information between systemd units.
0N/A
0N/A* logind:
0N/A - logind: optionally, ignore idle-hint logic for autosuspend, block suspend as long as a session is around
0N/A - When we update the kernel all kind of hibernation should be prohibited until shutdown/reboot
0N/A - logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
0N/A - Add pretty name for seats in logind
0N/A - logind: allow showing logout dialog from system?
0N/A - we should probably handle SIGTERM/SIGINT to not leave dot files around, just in case
0N/A - session scopes/user unit: add RequiresMountsFor for the home directory of the user
0N/A - add Suspend() bus calls which take timestamps to fix double suspend issues when somebody hits suspend and closes laptop quickly.
0N/A - if pam_systemd is invoked by su from a process that is outside of a
0N/A any session we should probably just become a NOP, since that's
509N/A usually not a real user session but just some system code that just
0N/A needs setuid().
0N/A - logind: make the Suspend()/Hibernate() bus calls wait for the for
0N/A the job to be completed. before returning, so that clients can wait
0N/A for "systemctl suspend" to finish to know when the suspending is
0N/A complete.
0N/A - logind: when the power button is pressed short, just popup a
0N/A logout dialog. If it is pressed for 1s, do the usual
0N/A shutdown. Inspiration are Macs here.
0N/A - expose "Locked" property on logind sesison objects
0N/A - given that logind now lets PID 1 do all nasty work, we can
0N/A probably reduce the capability set it retains substantially.
0N/A (we need CAP_SYS_ADMIN for drmSetMaster(), so maybe not worth it)
0N/A - expose orientation sensors and tablet mode through logind
0N/A
0N/A* exec: when deinitializating a tty device fix the perms and group, too, not only when initializing. Set access mode/gid to 0620/tty.
0N/A
0N/A* service: watchdog logic: for testing purposes allow ping, but do not require pong
0N/A
0N/A* journal:
0N/A - consider introducing implicit _TTY= + _PPID= + _EUID= + _EGID= + _FSUID= + _FSGID= fields
0N/A - import and delete pstore filesystem content at startup
0N/A - journald: also get thread ID from client, plus thread name
0N/A - journal: when waiting for journal additions in the client always sleep at least 1s or so, in order to minimize wakeups
0N/A - add API to close/reopen/get fd for journal client fd in libsystemd-journal.
0N/A - fallback to /dev/log based logging in libsystemd-journal, if we cannot log natively?
0N/A - declare the local journal protocol stable in the wiki interface chart
0N/A - journal: reuse XZ context
0N/A - sd-journal: speed up sd_journal_get_data() with transparent hash table in bg
0N/A - journald: when dropping msgs due to ratelimit make sure to write
0N/A "dropped %u messages" not only when we are about to print the next
0N/A message that works, but alraedy after a short tiemout
0N/A - check if we can make journalctl by default use --follow mode inside of less if called without args?
0N/A - maybe add API to send pairs of iovecs via sd_journal_send
0N/A - journal: when writing journal auto-rotate if time jumps backwards
0N/A - journal: add a setgid "systemd-journal" utility to invoke from libsystemd-journal, which passes fds via STDOUT and does PK access
0N/A - journactl: support negative filtering, i.e. FOOBAR!="waldo",
0N/A and !FOOBAR for events without FOOBAR.
0N/A - journal: store timestamp of journal_file_set_offline() int he header,
0N/A so it is possible to display when the file was last synced.
0N/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.
0N/A - journal: find a way to allow dropping history early, based on priority, other rules
0N/A - journal: When used on NFS, check payload hashes
0N/A - journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
0N/A - refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
0N/A - journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
0N/A - journal: deal nicely with byte-by-byte copied files, especially regards header
0N/A - journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the components would fit
0N/A - Replace utmp, wtmp, btmp, and lastlog completely with journal
0N/A - journalctl: instead --after-cursor= maybe have a --cursor=XYZ+1 syntax?
0N/A - when a kernel driver logs in a tight loop, we should ratelimit that too.
0N/A - journald: optionally, log debug messages to /run but everything else to /var
0N/A - journald: when we drop syslog messages because the syslog socket is
0N/A full, make sure to write how many messages are lost as first thing
0N/A to syslog when it works again.
0N/A - journald: make sure ratelimit is actually really per-service with the new cgroup changes
0N/A - change systemd-journal-flush into a service that stays around during
0N/A boot, and causes the journal to be moved back to /run on shutdown,
0N/A so that we do not keep /var busy. This needs to happen synchronously,
0N/A hence doing this via signals is not going to work.
0N/A - optionally support running journald from the command line for testing purposes in external projects
0N/A - journald: allow per-priority and per-service retention times when rotating/vacuuming
0N/A - journald: make use of uid-range.h to managed uid ranges to split
0N/A journals in.
0N/A - journalctl: add the ability to look for the most recent process of a binary. journalctl /usr/bin/X11 --pid=-1 or so...
0N/A - improve journalctl performance by loading journal files
0N/A lazily. Encode just enough information in the file name, so that we
0N/A do not have to open it to know that it is not interesting for us, for
0N/A the most common operations.
0N/A
0N/A* document:
0N/A - document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fields in
0N/A [Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
0N/A - man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
0N/A - document the exit codes when services fail before they are exec()ed
0N/A - document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
0N/A - document in wiki how to map ical recurrence events to systemd timer unit calendar specifications
0N/A - add a man page containing packaging guidelines and recommending usage of things like Documentation=, PrivateTmp=, PrivateNetwork= and ReadOnlyDirectories=/etc /usr.
0N/A - document systemd-journal-flush.service properly
0N/A - documentation: recommend to connect the timer units of a service to the service via Also= in [Install]
0N/A - man: document the very specific env the shutdown drop-in tools live in
0N/A - man: extend runlevel(8) to mention that runlevels suck, and are dead. Maybe add runlevel(7) with a note about that too
0N/A - man: add more examples to man pages
0N/A - man: maybe sort directives in man pages, and take sections from --help and apply them to man too
0N/A
0N/A* systemctl:
0N/A - systemctl list-jobs - show dependencies
0N/A - add systemctl switch to dump transaction without executing it
0N/A - Add a verbose mode to "systemctl start" and friends that explains what is being done or not done
0N/A - "systemctl disable" on a static unit prints no message and does
0N/A nothing. "systemctl enable" does nothing, and gives a bad message
0N/A about it. Should fix both to print nice actionable messages.
0N/A - print nice message from systemctl --failed if there are no entries shown, and hook that into ExecStartPre of rescue.service/emergency.service
0N/A - add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
0N/A - systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into does not exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
0N/A - systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
0N/A - support "systemctl stop foobar@.service" to stop all units matching a certain template
0N/A - Something is wrong with symlink handling of "autovt@.service" in "systemctl list-unit-files"
0N/A - better error message if you run systemctl without systemd running
0N/A - systemctl status output should should include list of triggering units and their status
0N/A
0N/A* unit install:
0N/A - "systemctl mask" should find all names by which a unit is accessible
0N/A (i.e. by scanning for symlinks to it) and link them all to /dev/null
0N/A - systemctl list-unit-files should list generated files (and probably with a new state "generated" for them, or so)
0N/A
0N/A* timer units:
0N/A - timer units should get the ability to trigger when:
0N/A o CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (TFD_TIMER_CANCEL_ON_SET)
0N/A o DST changes
0N/A - Support 2012-02~4 as syntax for specifying the fourth to last day of the month.
0N/A - calendarspec: support value ranges with ".." notation. Example: 2013-4..8-1
0N/A - 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
0N/A - Modulate timer frequency based on battery state
0N/A
0N/A* add libsystemd-password or so to query passwords during boot using the password agent logic
0N/A
0N/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().
0N/A
0N/A* fedup: add --unit to systemctl switch-root somehow
0N/A* fedup: do not delete initrd on switch-root
0N/A* fedup: generator
0N/A
0N/A* clean up date formatting and parsing so that all absolute/relative timestamps we format can also be parsed
0N/A
0N/A* on shutdown: move utmp, wall, audit logic all into PID 1 (or logind?), get rid of systemd-update-utmp-runlevel
0N/A
0N/A* make repeated alt-ctrl-del presses printing a dump, or even force a reboot without
0N/A waiting for the timeout
0N/A
0N/A* hostnamed: before returning information from /etc/machine-info.conf check the modification data and reread. Similar for localed, ...
0N/A
0N/A* currently x-systemd.timeout is lost in the initrd, since crypttab is copied into dracut, but fstab is not
0N/A
0N/A* nspawn:
0N/A - refuses to boot containers without /etc/machine-id (OK?), and with empty /etc/machine-id (not OK).
0N/A
0N/A* cryptsetup:
0N/A - cryptsetup-generator: allow specification of passwords in crypttab itself
0N/A - move cryptsetup key caching into kernel keyctl?
0N/A https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54982
0N/A - support rd.luks.allow-discards= kernel cmdline params in cryptsetup generator
0N/A
0N/A* hw watchdog: optionally try to use the preset watchdog timeout instead of always overriding it
0N/A https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54712
0N/A
0N/A* after deserializing sockets in socket.c we should reapply sockopts and things
0N/A
0N/A* make timer units go away after they elapsed
0N/A
0N/A* move PID 1 segfaults to /var/lib/systemd/coredump?
0N/A
0N/A* create /sbin/init symlinks from the build system
0N/A
0N/A* allow writing multiple conditions in unit files on one line
0N/A
0N/A* MountFlags=shared acts as MountFlags=slave right now.
0N/A
0N/A* drop PID 1 reloading, only do reexecing (difficult: Reload()
0N/A currently is properly synchronous, Reexec() is weird, because we
0N/A cannot delay the response properly until we are back, so instead of
0N/A being properly synchronous we just keep open the fd and close it
0N/A when done. That means clients do not get a successful method reply,
0N/A but much rather a disconnect on success.
0N/A
0N/A* properly handle loop back mounts via fstab, especially regards to fsck/passno
0N/A
0N/A* initialize the hostname from the fs label of /, if /etc/hostname does not exist?
0N/A
0N/A* rename "userspace" to "core-os"
0N/A
0N/A* load-fragment: when loading a unit file via a chain of symlinks
0N/A verify that it is not masked via any of the names traversed.
0N/A
0N/A* introduce Type=pid-file
0N/A
0N/A* change Requires=basic.target to RequisiteOverride=basic.target
0N/A
0N/A* when breaking cycles drop sysv services first, then services from /run, then from /etc, then from /usr
0N/A
0N/A* ExecOnFailure=/usr/bin/foo
0N/A
0N/A* udev:
0N/A - move to LGPL
0N/A - kill scsi_id
0N/A - add trigger --subsystem-match=usb/usb_device device
0N/A - reimport udev db after MOVE events for devices without dev_t
0N/A
0N/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
0N/A
0N/A* introduce mix of BindTo and Requisite
0N/A
0N/A* There's currently no way to cancel fsck (used to be possible via C-c or c on the console)
0N/A
0N/A* add option to sockets to avoid activation. Instead just drop packets/connections, see http://cyberelk.net/tim/2012/02/15/portreserve-systemd-solution/
0N/A
0N/A* default unix qlen is too small (10). bump sysctl? add sockopt?
0N/A
0N/A* save coredump in Windows/Mozilla minidump format
0N/A
0N/A* support crash reporting operation modes (https://live.gnome.org/GnomeOS/Design/Whiteboards/ProblemReporting)
0N/A
0N/A* default to actual 32-bit PIDs, via /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max
0N/A
0N/A* be able to specify a forced restart of service A where service B depends on, in case B
0N/A needs to be auto-respawned?
0N/A
0N/A* when a bus name of a service disappears from the bus make sure to queue further activation requests
0N/A
0N/A* tmpfiles:
0N/A - apply "x" on "D" too (see patch from William Douglas)
0N/A - replace F with f+.
0N/A - instead of ignoring unknown fields, reject them.
509N/A
0N/A* for services: do not set $HOME in services unless requested
0N/A
0N/A* hide PAM options in fragment parser when compile time disabled
0N/A
0N/A* when we automatically restart a service, ensure we restart its rdeps, too.
0N/A
0N/A* allow Type=simple with PIDFile=
0N/A https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=723942
659N/A
659N/A* move PAM code into its own binary
659N/A
0N/A* implement Register= switch in .socket units to enable registration
659N/A in Avahi, RPC and other socket registration services.
659N/A
659N/A* make sure systemd-ask-password-wall does not shutdown systemd-ask-password-console too early
659N/A
659N/A* add ReloadSignal= for configuring a reload signal to use
659N/A
659N/A* verify that the AF_UNIX sockets of a service in the fs still exist
659N/A when we start a service in order to avoid confusion when a user
0N/A assumes starting a service is enough to make it accessible
659N/A
659N/A* Make it possible to set the keymap independently from the font on
659N/A the kernel cmdline. Right now setting one resets also the other.
659N/A
659N/A* and a dbus call to generate target from current state
659N/A
659N/A* GC unreferenced jobs (such as .device jobs)
659N/A
659N/A* write blog stories about:
659N/A - hwdb: what belongs into it, lsusb
0N/A - enabling dbus services
659N/A - status update
0N/A - how to make changes to sysctl and sysfs attributes

659N/A - instantiated apache, dovecot and so on
659N/A - hooking a script into various stages of shutdown/rearly booot
659N/A
0N/A* allow port=0 in .socket units
659N/A
659N/A* recreate systemd's D-Bus private socket file on SIGUSR2
659N/A
659N/A* Support --test based on current system state
659N/A
659N/A* investigate whether the gnome pty helper should be moved into systemd, to provide cgroup support.
659N/A
659N/A* maybe introduce ExecRestartPre=
659N/A
659N/A* dot output for --test showing the 'initial transaction'
0N/A
659N/A* fingerprint.target, wireless.target, gps.target, netdevice.target
0N/A
0N/A* systemd-python:
0N/A - figure out a simple way to wait for journal events in a way that
0N/A works with ^C
0N/A - add documentation to systemd.daemon
0N/A
0N/A* bootchart:
0N/A - plot per-process IO utilization
0N/A - group processes based on service association (cgroups)
0N/A - document initcall_debug
0N/A - kernel cmdline "bootchart" option for simplicity?
0N/A
0N/A* udev-link-config:
0N/A - Make sure ID_PATH is always exported and complete for
0N/A network devices where possible, so we can safely rely
0N/A on Path= matching
0N/A - check MTUBytes parsing (expecting size_t but we are using unsigned)
0N/A
0N/A* sd-rtnl:
0N/A - add support for more attribute types
0N/A - inbuilt piping support (essentially degenerate async)? see loopback-setup.c and other places
0N/A
0N/A* networkd:
0N/A - add more keys to [Route] and [Address] sections
0N/A - add support for more DHCPv4 options (and, longer term, other kinds of dynamic config)
0N/A - add proper initrd support (in particular generate .network/.link files based on /proc/cmdline)
0N/A - add reduced [Link] support to .network files
0N/A - add Scope= parsing option for [Network]
0N/A - properly handle routerless dhcp leases

0N/A* networkd-wait-online:
0N/A - make operstates to wait for configurable?
0N/A
0N/A* dhcp:
0N/A - figure out how much we can increase Maximum Message Size
0N/A - export timezone information
0N/A - support RFC4702 (pass FQDN)
0N/A
0N/A* dhcp6:
0N/A - add functions to set previously stored IPv6 addresses on startup and get
0N/A them at shutdown; store them in client->ia_na
0N/A - write more test cases
0N/A - implement reconfigure support, see 5.3., 15.11. and 22.20.
0N/A - implement support for temporary adressess (IA_TA)
0N/A - implement dhcpv6 authentication
0N/A - investigate the usefulness of Confirm messages; i.e. are there any
0N/A situations where the link changes without any loss in carrier detection
0N/A or interface down
0N/A - some servers don't do rapid commit without a filled in IA_NA, verify
0N/A this behavior
