Kay Sieversc343be22014-06-04 11:14:48 +02002* Re-enable "fsck -l" when it is ready:
3 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=79576#c5
4
Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmekb3ae7102014-04-01 20:43:15 -04005* Should systemctl status \* work on all unit types, not just .service?
6
Kay Sieversf9576322011-09-21 19:33:52 +02007* Dangling symlinks of .automount unit files in .wants/ directories, set up
8 automount points even when the original .automount file did not exist
9 anymore. Only the .mount unit was still around.
10
Lennart Poetteringa40593a2011-11-08 19:12:29 +010011* properly handle .mount unit state tracking when two mount points are stacked one on top of another on the exact same mount point.

Lennart Poettering7f035ea2014-07-18 13:59:55 +020027* libsystemd-network:
28 - I don't think there should be a client side object for dhcp
29 releases (probably not even a directory in /run for it)
Lennart Poettering7f035ea2014-07-18 13:59:55 +020030
Lennart Poettering9d6db732014-07-16 00:31:27 +020031* resolved:

Kay Sievers3f77a1b2014-07-30 17:28:04 +020051* Ignore .busname units on classic D-Bus boots, systemd-resolved cannot be started on kdbus
52 without the active policy and should get a Wants=org.freedesktop.resolve1.busname to
53 pull-in the policy.
54
Lennart Poetteringe2a69292014-07-09 19:20:48 +020055* Allow multiple ExecStart= for all Type= settings, so that we can cover rescue.service nicely
56
Lennart Poettering58f55362014-07-07 21:20:29 +020057* the resolv.conf tmpfiles line should be covered by ENABLE_NETWORKD...
58
Lennart Poettering27f1e9e2014-07-10 18:24:55 +020059* sysusers:
60 - also create entries in /etc/shadow, /etc/gshadow

64
Lennart Poettering3a53fda2014-07-01 02:39:08 +020065* order OnCalendar timer units after timer-sync.target if DefaultDependencies=no so that we don't trigger them prematurely
66
Lennart Poettering0b305862014-06-30 21:44:49 +020067* refuse mounting on symlinks
68
Lennart Poetteringfed515f2014-06-27 20:42:31 +020069* logind: allow users to kill or lock their own sessions
Lennart Poettering22981162014-06-27 18:58:23 +020070
Lennart Poetteringa9407782014-07-07 11:48:06 +020071* add new gpt type for btrfs volumes
72
Lennart Poetteringa01647e2014-06-16 12:29:51 +020073* support empty /etc boots nicely:
Lennart Poettering3c779fa2014-06-18 00:01:07 +020074 - nspawn/gpt-generator: introduce new gpt partition type for /usr
Lennart Poetteringa9407782014-07-07 11:48:06 +020075 - fstab-generator: support systemd.volatile=yes|no|state on the kernel cmdline, too, similar to nspawn's --volatile=
Lennart Poetteringe8a152c2014-06-25 10:07:20 +020076 - fstab-generator: add support for usr= in addition to root= on the kernel cmdline
Lennart Poetteringa01647e2014-06-16 12:29:51 +020077
Lennart Poettering3de03732014-05-22 16:14:50 +090078* generator that automatically discovers btrfs subvolumes, identifies their purpose based on some xattr on them.
79
80* support setting empty environment variables with Environment= and EnvironmentFile=
81
Lennart Poettering8891f692014-05-18 20:49:14 +090082* machined/machinectl: sort IP addresses we return by scope and protocol
83* machined: write NSS module for looking up IP addresses for machines
84
Lennart Poettering2b1c3762014-05-16 00:23:26 +020085* timer units: actually add extra delays to timer units with high AccuracySec values, don't start them already when we are awake...
86
Kay Sievers81429132014-06-18 03:46:44 +020087* timesyncd - hookup with networkd: NTP servers from dhcp
Lennart Poettering1df52dd2014-05-06 12:33:53 +020088
Lennart Poettering37efac52014-05-05 21:18:54 +020089* a way for container managers to turn off getty starting via $container_headless= or so...
90
Lennart Poettering7348b3a2014-05-02 17:56:01 +020091* figure out a nice way how we can let the admin know what child/sibling unit causes cgroup membership for a specific unit
92
Lennart Poetteringf55b9bd2014-04-25 07:16:01 +020093* journalctl: add the ability to look for the most recent process of a binary. journalctl /usr/bin/X11 --pid=-1 or so...
94
Lennart Poetteringf55b9bd2014-04-25 07:16:01 +020095* set NOTIFY_SOCKET also for control processes
96
Lennart Poetteringe107ed12014-04-23 22:41:44 +020097* mount_cgroup_controllers(): symlinks need to get the label applied
98
Kay Sievers81429132014-06-18 03:46:44 +020099* For timer units: add some mechanisms so that timer units that trigger immediately on boot do not have the services
100 they run added to the initial transaction and thus confuse Type=idle.
Lennart Poetteringe107ed12014-04-23 22:41:44 +0200101
Lennart Poetteringe30fa162014-04-22 06:49:16 +0200102* Add timeout to early-boot, and shut down the system if it is hit. Solves the laptop-in-bag problem and is useful for embedded cases
103
Lennart Poetteringf598ac32014-06-04 18:58:05 +0200104* 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)
Lennart Poettering11fb37f2014-04-13 17:41:51 -0700105
Lennart Poettering01083ad2014-04-01 19:13:22 +0200106* sd-event: generate a failure of a default event loop is executed out-of-thread
107
Lennart Poetteringb107b702014-03-25 00:03:23 +0100108* expose "Locked" property on logind sesison objects
109
Lennart Poetteringedb29352014-03-14 21:10:55 +0100110* add bus api to query unit file's X fields.
111
Lennart Poettering769918e2014-03-12 16:38:49 +0100112* consider adding RuntimeDirectoryUser= + RuntimeDirectoryGroup=
113
114* sd-event: define more intervals where we will shift wakeup intervals around in, 1h, 6h, 24h, ...
115
Lennart Poettering6a3f8922014-03-05 22:31:03 +0100116* gpt-auto-generator:
Lennart Poettering2a781fc2014-03-08 04:05:48 +0100117 - Support LUKS for root devices
118 - Define new partition type for encrypted swap? Support probed LUKS for encrypted swap?
Lennart Poettering6a3f8922014-03-05 22:31:03 +0100119 - Make /home automount rather than mount?
Lennart Poettering6a3f8922014-03-05 22:31:03 +0100120
Lennart Poetteringefc141b2014-03-05 02:30:47 +0100121* improve journalctl performance by loading journal files
122 lazily. Encode just enough information in the file name, so that we
Jan Engelhardtd28315e2014-05-03 19:15:23 +0200123 do not have to open it to know that it is not interesting for us, for
Lennart Poetteringefc141b2014-03-05 02:30:47 +0100124 the most common operations.
125
Lennart Poettering65026402014-02-24 17:34:37 +0100126* add generator that pulls in systemd-network from containers when
127 CAP_NET_ADMIN is set, more than the loopback device is defined, even
128 when it is otherwise off
Lennart Poetteringf8901862014-02-24 13:21:55 +0100129
Lennart Poetteringeda8f062014-02-23 03:18:46 +0100130* MessageQueueMessageSize= and RLimitFSIZE= (and suchlike) should use parse_iec_size().
131
Lennart Poetteringd4fdc202014-02-19 18:20:04 +0100132* "busctl status" works only as root on dbus1, since we cannot read
133 /proc/$PID/exe
134
Lennart Poetteringaf1082b2014-02-14 16:40:52 +0100135* implement Distribute= in socket units to allow running multiple
136 service instances processing the listening socket, and open this up
137 for ReusePort=
138
Lennart Poettering488ad3b2014-01-20 13:42:52 +0100139* socket units: support creating sockets in different namespace,
140 opening it up for JoinsNamespaceOf=. This would require to fork off
141 a tiny process that joins the namespace and creates/binds the socket
142 and passes this back to PID1 via SCM_RIGHTS. This also could be used
143 to allow Chown/chgrp on sockets without requiring NSS in PID 1.
144
Lennart Poettering47c94a92013-11-05 11:53:09 +0100145* New service property: maximum CPU and wallclock runtime for a service
146
Lennart Poettering09ecd742014-01-12 20:10:33 +0800147* introduce bus call FreezeUnit(s, b), as well as "systemctl freeze
148 $UNIT" and "systemctl thaw $UNIT" as wrappers around this. The calls
149 should SIGSTOP all unit processes in a loop until all processes of
150 it are fully stopped. This can later be used for app management by
151 desktop UIs such as gnome-shell to freeze apps that are not visible
152 on screen, not unlike how job control works on the shell
153
Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmekef417cf2014-02-13 17:10:12 -0500154* completions:
Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmekef417cf2014-02-13 17:10:12 -0500155 - manager property enumeration was broken when systemd moved to /usr/lib/
Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek3333d742014-01-08 20:42:38 -0500156
Lennart Poetteringf38afcd2013-11-28 18:42:00 +0100157* cgroups:
Lennart Poetteringf38afcd2013-11-28 18:42:00 +0100158 - implement per-slice CPUFairScheduling=1 switch
159 - handle jointly mounted controllers correctly
160 - introduce high-level settings for RT budget, swappiness
161 - how to reset dynamically changed unit cgroup attributes sanely?
162 - when reloading configuration, apply new cgroup configuration
163 - when recursively showing the cgroup hierarchy, optionally also show
164 the hierarchies of child processes
165
166* transient units:
167 - allow creating auxiliary units with the same call
168 - add field to transient units that indicate whether systemd or somebody else saves/restores its settings, for integration with libvirt
169 - ensure scope units may be started only a single time
170
Lennart Poettering47c94a92013-11-05 11:53:09 +0100171* Automatically configure swap partition to use for hibernation by looking for largest swap partition on the root disk?
172
Lennart Poettering718db962013-11-19 21:12:59 +0100173* when we detect low battery and no AC on boot, show pretty splash and refuse boot
174
Lennart Poetteringf38afcd2013-11-28 18:42:00 +0100175* machined, localed: when we try to kill an empty cgroup, generate an ESRCH error over the bus
Lennart Poettering718db962013-11-19 21:12:59 +0100176
177* libsystemd-journal, libsystemd-login, libudev: add calls to easily attach these objects to sd-event event loops
178
Lennart Poettering966204e2013-11-11 03:03:17 +0100179* be more careful what we export on the bus as (usec_t) 0 and (usec_t) -1
180
Lennart Poettering94676f32013-11-08 19:48:42 +0100181* unify dispatch table in systemctl_main() and friends
Lennart Poettering6fd4d022013-11-08 13:53:09 +0100182
Lennart Poetteringced4d062013-11-05 03:06:33 +0100183* Automatically configure swap partition to use for hibernation by looking for largest swap partition on the root disk?
184
Lennart Poettering41644622013-10-14 04:52:51 +0200185* 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
186
Lennart Poettering7f79cd72013-10-04 17:01:32 +0200187* After coming back from hibernation reset hibernation swap partition using the /dev/snapshot ioctl APIs
Lennart Poettering0aafd432013-09-17 10:01:08 -0500188
Jan Engelhardt19aadac2013-10-22 01:50:48 +0200189* If we try to find a unit via a dangling symlink, generate a clean
190 error. Currently, we just ignore it and read the unit from the search
Lennart Poetteringdf5f6972013-09-13 14:28:17 +0200191 path anyway.
192
Lennart Poetteringfcba5312013-09-12 18:09:00 +0200193* refuse boot if /etc/os-release is missing or /etc/machine-id cannot be set up
194
Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek8b8f2592013-12-25 22:53:09 -0500195* given that logind now lets PID 1 do all nasty work, we can
196 probably reduce the capability set it retains substantially.
David Herrmanne10e4292014-01-05 13:59:12 +0100197 (we need CAP_SYS_ADMIN for drmSetMaster(), so maybe not worth it)
Lennart Poetteringe1b7e7e2013-07-19 03:48:23 +0200198
Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek6aaa8c22013-07-19 02:45:27 -0400199* btrfs raid assembly: some .device jobs stay stuck in the queue
Lennart Poetteringc3bb87d2013-07-18 02:29:06 +0200200
Jan Engelhardtd28315e2014-05-03 19:15:23 +0200201* make sure gdm does not use multi-user-x but the new default X configuration file, and then remove multi-user-x from systemd
Lennart Poettering18d4e7c2013-07-16 17:34:33 +0200202
Lennart Poetteringbdeeb6b2013-07-10 02:01:14 +0200203* man: the documentation of Restart= currently is very misleading and suggests the tools from ExecStartPre= might get restarted.
204
205* load .d/*.conf dropins for device units
206
Lennart Poettering4e090142013-06-06 16:25:38 +0200207* allow implementation of InaccessibleDirectories=/ plus
208 ReadOnlyDirectories=... for whitelisting files for a service.
209
Tom Gundersen6bb648a2014-01-13 17:30:51 +0100210* sd-bus:
Jan Engelhardtd28315e2014-05-03 19:15:23 +0200211 - when kdbus does not take our message without memfds, try again with memfds
Lennart Poettering7973ca12014-03-19 16:24:47 +0100212 - systemd-bus-proxyd needs to enforce good old XML policy
Lennart Poettering7973ca12014-03-19 16:24:47 +0100213 - allow updating attach flags during runtime
214 - pid1: peek into activating message when activating a service
215 - introduce sd_bus_emit_object_added()/sd_bus_emit_object_removed() that automatically includes the build-in interfaces in the list
Lennart Poetteringdc17bce2014-06-06 14:51:07 +0200216 - port to sd-resolve for connecting to TCP dbus servers
Lennart Poetteringf38afcd2013-11-28 18:42:00 +0100217 - see if we can drop more message validation on the sending side
Lennart Poetteringf38afcd2013-11-28 18:42:00 +0100218 - add API to clone sd_bus_message objects
Lennart Poetteringdc17bce2014-06-06 14:51:07 +0200219 - make AddMatch calls on dbus1 transports async?
Lennart Poettering80caea62013-12-10 22:50:19 +0000220 - kdbus: matches against source or destination pids for an "strace -p"-like feel. Problem: The PID info needs to be available in userspace too...
Lennart Poetteringab9716c2014-01-22 20:29:57 +0100221 - longer term: priority inheritance
Lennart Poetteringdf98a872013-12-22 00:12:54 +0100222 - dbus spec updates:
223 - kdbus mapping
224 - NameLost/NameAcquired obsolete
225 - GVariant
Lennart Poetteringbee7e922013-12-22 03:50:30 +0100226 - "const" properties (posted)
Lennart Poettering2ecfc642014-03-10 23:17:42 +0100227 - path escaping
Lennart Poettering6a8b5fa2014-01-17 19:59:50 +0100228 - update systemd.special(7) to mention that dbus.socket is only about the compatibility socket now
Lennart Poettering69727e62014-01-28 12:33:32 +0100229 - test bloom filter generation indexes
Lennart Poetteringf38afcd2013-11-28 18:42:00 +0100230
231* sd-event
Lennart Poettering12179982013-12-13 04:03:30 +0100232 - allow multiple signal handlers per signal?
Lennart Poetteringeb01ba52013-05-16 21:14:56 +0200233
Lennart Poettering154ff082013-05-15 22:40:36 +0200234* in the final killing spree, detect processes from the root directory, and
235 complain loudly if they have argv[0][0] == '@' set.

237
Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek69af4502013-07-16 22:44:38 -0400238* investigate endianness issues of UUID vs. GUID
Lennart Poetteringe8a7a312013-04-24 17:18:01 -0300239
Lennart Poettering461bd8e2013-04-18 22:19:33 +0200240* dbus: when a unit failed to load (i.e. is in UNIT_ERROR state), we
241 should be able to safely try another attempt when the bus call LoadUnit() is invoked.
242
Lennart Poetteringab8e0742013-04-17 22:23:18 +0200243* add a pam module that passes the hdd passphrase into the PAM stack and then expires it, for usage by gdm auto-login.
244
245* add a pam module that on password changes updates any LUKS slot where the password matches
246
Lennart Poetteringb454b112013-04-17 18:48:23 +0200247* maybe add a generator that looks for "systemd.run=" on the kernel cmdline for container usercases...
248
249* timedatctl, localectl: possibly make some commands work without the daemon, for chroot situations...
250
Lennart Poettering06db8542013-12-17 21:36:54 +0100251* timedatectl: print a nicer message when enabling ntp fails because ntpd/chrony are not installed
252
Lennart Poettering4ff49cb2013-04-16 04:41:11 +0200253* cgtop: make cgtop useful in a container
254
Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmekfff87a32013-04-22 20:39:40 -0400255* test/:
256 - add 'set -e' to scripts in test/
257 - make stuff in test/ work with separate output dir
Lennart Poetteringb8b4d3d2013-04-09 22:20:05 +0200258
Lennart Poetteringb5c03632013-03-29 18:28:43 +0100259* seems that when we follow symlinks to units we prefer the symlink
Jan Engelhardtd28315e2014-05-03 19:15:23 +0200260 destination path over /etc and /usr. We should not do that. Instead
Lennart Poetteringb5c03632013-03-29 18:28:43 +0100261 /etc should always override /run+/usr and also any symlink
262 destination.
263
Lennart Poetteringeece8c62013-03-25 18:17:15 +0100264* when isolating, try to figure out a way how we implicitly can order
265 all units we stop before the isolating unit...
266
Lennart Poettering356ce992013-03-22 23:28:36 +0100267* teach ConditionKernelCommandLine= globs or regexes (in order to match foobar={no,0,off})
268
Lennart Poettering09f727e2013-03-20 22:57:55 +0100269* after all byte-wise realloc() is slow, even on glibc, so i guess we
270 need manual exponential loops after all
271
Lennart Poetteringc1446922014-03-21 03:27:17 +0100272* BootLoaderSpec: Clarify that the kernel has to be in $BOOT. Clarify
273 that the boot loader should be installed to the ESP. Define a way
274 how an installer can figure out whether a BLS compliant boot loader
275 is installed.
Lennart Poettering795607b2013-03-11 17:49:33 +0100276
Lennart Poettering0be83422013-03-07 13:39:57 +0100277* think about requeuing jobs when daemon-reload is issued? usecase:
278 the initrd issues a reload after fstab from the host is accessible
279 and we might want to requeue the mounts local-fs acquired through
280 that automatically.
281
Lennart Poetteringe5ec62c2013-04-01 23:04:11 +0200282* systemd-inhibit: make taking delay locks useful: support sending SIGINT or SIGTERM on PrepareForSleep()
Lennart Poettering54c31a72013-02-28 19:55:48 +0100283
Lennart Poettering826872b2013-02-27 15:00:38 +0100284* journal-or-kmsg is currently broken? See reverted commit 4a01181e460686d8b4a543b1dfa7f77c9e3c5ab8.
285
Jan Engelhardtd28315e2014-05-03 19:15:23 +0200286* remove any syslog support from log.c -- we probably cannot do this before split-off udev is gone for good
Lennart Poettering826872b2013-02-27 15:00:38 +0100287
Lennart Poettering3679d112013-02-27 02:24:10 +0100288* shutdown logging: store to EFI var, and store to USB stick?
289
Lennart Poettering3679d112013-02-27 02:24:10 +0100290* write UI tool that pops up emergency messages from the journal as notification
291
292* think about window-manager-run-as-user-service problem: exit 0 → activate shutdown.target; exit != 0 → restart service
293
Lennart Poetteringcbb77122013-02-13 19:35:28 +0100294* use "log level" rather than "log priority" everywhere
295
Lennart Poettering356ce992013-03-22 23:28:36 +0100296* merge unit_kill_common() and unit_kill_context()
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100297
Lennart Poettering81d112a2013-01-29 00:36:23 +0100298* introduce ExecCondition= in services
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100299
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100300* EFI:
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100301 - honor language efi variables for default language selection (if there are any?)
302 - honor timezone efi variables for default timezone selection (if there are any?)
Kay Sievers466784c2013-07-18 23:07:37 +0200303 - change bootctl to be backed by systemd-bootd to control temporary and persistent default boot goal plus efi variables
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100304
Kay Sieversc0fe5db2013-01-27 22:59:01 +0100305* maybe do not install getty@tty1.service symlink in /etc but in /usr?
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100306
307* re-enable "make check" for gtk-doc (broken for unknown reason)
308
309* fstab: add new mount option x-systemd-after=/foobar/waldo to allow manual dependencies to other mount points
310 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=812826
311
312* print a nicer explanation if people use variable/specifier expansion in ExecStart= for the first word
313
Lennart Poettering205b7fa2013-01-07 22:15:48 +0100314* mount: turn dependency information from /proc/self/mountinfo into dependency information between systemd units.
315
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100316* logind:
317 - logind: optionally, ignore idle-hint logic for autosuspend, block suspend as long as a session is around
318 - When we update the kernel all kind of hibernation should be prohibited until shutdown/reboot
319 - logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
320 - Add pretty name for seats in logind
321 - logind: allow showing logout dialog from system?
Lennart Poetteringe5ec62c2013-04-01 23:04:11 +0200322 - we should probably handle SIGTERM/SIGINT to not leave dot files around, just in case
Lennart Poetteringf38afcd2013-11-28 18:42:00 +0100323 - session scopes/user unit: add RequiresMountsFor for the home directory of the user
324 - add Suspend() bus calls which take timestamps to fix double suspend issues when somebody hits suspend and closes laptop quickly.
325 - if pam_systemd is invoked by su from a process that is outside of a
326 any session we should probably just become a NOP, since that's
327 usually not a real user session but just some system code that just
328 needs setuid().
Lennart Poettering95b4be12012-12-23 22:38:21 +0100329
Lennart Poettering499519c2012-12-19 20:50:42 +0100330* exec: when deinitializating a tty device fix the perms and group, too, not only when initializing. Set access mode/gid to 0620/tty.
331
Lennart Poettering490b7e42012-12-19 15:27:27 +0100332* service: watchdog logic: for testing purposes allow ping, but do not require pong
333
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100334* journal:
Kay Sieversc06bf412013-02-27 13:07:09 +0100335 - import and delete pstore filesystem content at startup
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100336 - journald: also get thread ID from client, plus thread name
337 - journal: when waiting for journal additions in the client always sleep at least 1s or so, in order to minimize wakeups
338 - add API to close/reopen/get fd for journal client fd in libsystemd-journal.
Jan Engelhardtd28315e2014-05-03 19:15:23 +0200339 - fallback to /dev/log based logging in libsystemd-journal, if we cannot log natively?
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100340 - declare the local journal protocol stable in the wiki interface chart
341 - journal: reuse XZ context
342 - sd-journal: speed up sd_journal_get_data() with transparent hash table in bg
343 - journald: when dropping msgs due to ratelimit make sure to write
344 "dropped %u messages" not only when we are about to print the next
345 message that works, but alraedy after a short tiemout
346 - check if we can make journalctl by default use --follow mode inside of less if called without args?
347 - maybe add API to send pairs of iovecs via sd_journal_send
348 - journal: when writing journal auto-rotate if time jumps backwards
Lennart Poetteringf47ec8e2013-03-05 18:59:14 +0100349 - journal: add a setgid "systemd-journal" utility to invoke from libsystemd-journal, which passes fds via STDOUT and does PK access
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100350 - journactl: support negative filtering, i.e. FOOBAR!="waldo",
351 and !FOOBAR for events without FOOBAR.
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100352 - journal: send out marker messages every now and then, and immediately sync with fdatasync() afterwards, in order to have hourly guaranteed syncs.
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100353 - 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.
354 - journal: find a way to allow dropping history early, based on priority, other rules
355 - journal: When used on NFS, check payload hashes
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100356 - journald: check whether it is OK if the client can still modify delivered journal entries
Lennart Poetteringf47ec8e2013-03-05 18:59:14 +0100357 - journal live copy, based on libneon (client) and libmicrohttpd (server)
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100358 - journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
359 - refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
360 - journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
361 - journal: deal nicely with byte-by-byte copied files, especially regards header
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100362 - journal: store euid in journal if it differs from uid
363 - journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the components would fit
Josh Triplett601d9d62013-04-19 14:13:42 -0700364 - Replace utmp, wtmp, btmp, and lastlog completely with journal
Lennart Poetteringf38afcd2013-11-28 18:42:00 +0100365 - journalctl: instead --after-cursor= maybe have a --cursor=XYZ+1 syntax?
Lennart Poetteringf38afcd2013-11-28 18:42:00 +0100366 - tmpfiles: when applying ownership to /run/log/journal, also do this for the journal fails contained in it
367 - when a kernel driver logs in a tight loop, we should ratelimit that too.
368 - journald: optionally, log debug messages to /run but everything else to /var
369 - journald: when we drop syslog messages because the syslog socket is
370 full, make sure to write how many messages are lost as first thing
371 to syslog when it works again.
372 - journald: make sure ratelimit is actually really per-service with the new cgroup changes
373 - change systemd-journal-flush into a service that stays around during
374 boot, and causes the journal to be moved back to /run on shutdown,
Jan Engelhardtd28315e2014-05-03 19:15:23 +0200375 so that we do not keep /var busy. This needs to happen synchronously,
Lennart Poetteringf38afcd2013-11-28 18:42:00 +0100376 hence doing this via signals is not going to work.
Lennart Poettering59659842012-11-22 20:16:15 +0100377
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100378* document:
Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek8b8f2592013-12-25 22:53:09 -0500379 - document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fields in
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100380 [Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
381 - man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100382 - document the exit codes when services fail before they are exec()ed
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100383 - document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
Lennart Poetteringeb124a92013-02-09 01:17:36 +0100384 - document in wiki how to map ical recurrence events to systemd timer unit calendar specifications
Lennart Poetteringf38afcd2013-11-28 18:42:00 +0100385 - add a man page containing packaging guidelines and recommending usage of things like Documentation=, PrivateTmp=, PrivateNetwork= and ReadOnlyDirectories=/etc /usr.
386 - document systemd-journal-flush.service properly
Lennart Poetteringf38afcd2013-11-28 18:42:00 +0100387 - documentation: recommend to connect the timer units of a service to the service via Also= in [Install]
388 - man: document the very specific env the shutdown drop-in tools live in
389 - man: extend runlevel(8) to mention that runlevels suck, and are dead. Maybe add runlevel(7) with a note about that too
390 - man: add more examples to man pages
391 - man: maybe sort directives in man pages, and take sections from --help and apply them to man too
Lennart Poetteringe4181482012-11-20 21:33:49 +0100392
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100393* systemctl:
394 - systemctl list-jobs - show dependencies
395 - add systemctl switch to dump transaction without executing it
396 - Add a verbose mode to "systemctl start" and friends that explains what is being done or not done
397 - "systemctl disable" on a static unit prints no message and does
398 nothing. "systemctl enable" does nothing, and gives a bad message
399 about it. Should fix both to print nice actionable messages.
400 - print nice message from systemctl --failed if there are no entries shown, and hook that into ExecStartPre of rescue.service/emergency.service
401 - add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
Jan Engelhardtd28315e2014-05-03 19:15:23 +0200402 - systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into does not exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100403 - systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
404 - support "systemctl stop foobar@.service" to stop all units matching a certain template
405 - Something is wrong with symlink handling of "autovt@.service" in "systemctl list-unit-files"
Lennart Poetteringf38afcd2013-11-28 18:42:00 +0100406 - better error message if you run systemctl without systemd running
407 - systemctl status output should should include list of triggering units and their status
Lennart Poetteringf38afcd2013-11-28 18:42:00 +0100408
409* unit install:
410 - "systemctl mask" should find all names by which a unit is accessible
411 (i.e. by scanning for symlinks to it) and link them all to /dev/null
Lennart Poetteringf38afcd2013-11-28 18:42:00 +0100412 - systemctl list-unit-files should list generated files (and probably with a new state "generated" for them, or so)
413 - systemctl: maybe add "systemctl add-wants" or so...
Lennart Poettering8ed20652012-11-18 23:32:09 +0100414
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100415* timer units:
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100416 - timer units should get the ability to trigger when:
417 o CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (TFD_TIMER_CANCEL_ON_SET)
418 o DST changes
Lennart Poetteringeb124a92013-02-09 01:17:36 +0100419 - Support 2012-02~4 as syntax for specifying the fourth to last day of the month.
Lennart Poetteringf38afcd2013-11-28 18:42:00 +0100420 - calendarspec: support value ranges with ".." notation. Example: 2013-4..8-1
Jan Engelhardtd28315e2014-05-03 19:15:23 +0200421 - 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
Lennart Poettering90e071d2013-11-05 00:48:47 +0100422 - Modulate timer frequency based on battery state
Kay Sieversd2e83c22012-11-04 15:47:08 +0100423
424* update the kernel's TZ (sys_tz) when DST changes
425
426* sync down the system time to the RTC when:
Kay Sieversf6113d42012-11-07 13:59:50 +0100427 - CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (the user explicitely requested a time set)
428 - DST/timezone changes && ntp is active && RTC-in-localtime (never do it without ntp)
Kay Sieversd2e83c22012-11-04 15:47:08 +0100429 This takes care of syncing ntpdate updates to the RTC, and DST updates for localtime
Kay Sievers7a43e912012-11-05 02:17:23 +0100430 mode, it will never touch the RTC if the no reliable time source is active or the
Kay Sieversd2e83c22012-11-04 15:47:08 +0100431 user did not request anything like it.
Lennart Poetteringc55b1b52012-10-31 00:04:59 +0100432
Lennart Poetteringa19554e2012-10-24 01:05:40 +0200433* add libsystemd-password or so to query passwords during boot using the password agent logic
434
Lennart Poettering1cb88f22012-10-23 17:13:01 +0200435* 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().
436
437* fedup: add --unit to systemctl switch-root somehow
Jan Engelhardtd28315e2014-05-03 19:15:23 +0200438* fedup: do not delete initrd on switch-root
Lennart Poettering1cb88f22012-10-23 17:13:01 +0200439* fedup: generator
Lennart Poettering603cd8f2012-10-23 01:53:23 +0200440
Lennart Poetteringa7a3f282012-10-15 16:28:04 +0200441* clean up date formatting and parsing so that all absolute/relative timestamps we format can also be parsed
442
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100443* on shutdown: move utmp, wall, audit logic all into PID 1 (or logind?), get rid of systemd-update-utmp-runlevel
Lennart Poettering08f95882012-10-03 11:37:06 -0400444
Kay Sievers9ee58bd2012-10-02 18:18:41 +0200445* make repeated alt-ctrl-del presses printing a dump, or even force a reboot without
446 waiting for the timeout
Lennart Poetteringdcfc4b22012-08-03 21:49:06 +0200447
Lennart Poettering71ef24d2012-10-02 13:11:26 -0400448* hostnamed: before returning information from /etc/machine-info.conf check the modification data and reread. Similar for localed, ...
449
Jan Engelhardtd28315e2014-05-03 19:15:23 +0200450* currently x-systemd.timeout is lost in the initrd, since crypttab is copied into dracut, but fstab is not
Lennart Poettering1b898842012-09-27 17:18:13 +0200451
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100452* nspawn:
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100453 - bind mount read-only the cgroup tree higher than nspawn
Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek9cb74bc2013-11-07 23:57:19 -0500454 - refuses to boot containers without /etc/machine-id (OK?), and with empty /etc/machine-id (not OK).
Lennart Poetteringa56b63f2013-12-13 16:01:54 +0100455 - support taking a btrfs snapshot at startup and dropping it afterwards
Lennart Poettering1920e372012-09-24 22:46:22 +0200456
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100457* cryptsetup:
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100458 - cryptsetup-generator: allow specification of passwords in crypttab itself
459 - move cryptsetup key caching into kernel keyctl?
460 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54982
Lennart Poettering5f1dac62013-04-29 19:57:29 -0300461 - support rd.luks.allow-discards= kernel cmdline params in cryptsetup generator
Lennart Poetteringf8019682012-09-21 20:52:23 +0200462

Lennart Poettering41f91722012-09-18 11:27:56 +0200464 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54712
Lennart Poettering424a19f2012-09-14 20:02:52 +0200465
466* after deserializing sockets in socket.c we should reapply sockopts and things

479
480* drop PID 1 reloading, only do reexecing (difficult: Reload()
481 currently is properly synchronous, Reexec() is weird, because we
Jan Engelhardtd28315e2014-05-03 19:15:23 +0200482 cannot delay the response properly until we are back, so instead of
Lennart Poettering68f16002012-08-13 15:39:25 +0200483 being properly synchronous we just keep open the fd and close it
Jan Engelhardtd28315e2014-05-03 19:15:23 +0200484 when done. That means clients do not get a successful method reply,
Lennart Poettering68f16002012-08-13 15:39:25 +0200485 but much rather a disconnect on success.
Lennart Poettering0790b9f2012-08-09 12:52:49 +0200486

507 - set superblock timeout AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_TIMEOUT_CMD
508 - periodically run AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_EXPIRE_CMD
509 - every timeout/4 (original autofs logic)
510 - blocking, needs a thread
511 - run until -EAGAIN
512 - receive expire packet on pipe if kernel tells the timeout is over
513 - call umount
514 - answer expire packet on pipe with AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_{READY,FAIL}_CMD
