Kay Sieversee9c9502013-09-24 15:47:42 +02001Bugfixes:
Jan Engelhardt19aadac2013-10-22 01:50:48 +02002* enabling an instance unit creates a pointless link, and
Kay Sieverscff452c2013-08-06 15:03:53 +02003 the unit will be started with getty@getty.service:
4 $ systemctl enable getty@.service
5 ln -s '/usr/lib/systemd/system/getty@.service' '/etc/systemd/system/getty.target.wants/getty@.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.
Kay Sievers20ffc4c2012-04-17 18:47:49 +020012
Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek04ac7992013-08-19 16:00:13 -040013* shorten the message to sane length:
14
15 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.
16
Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmekd8160f22014-01-08 17:20:45 -050017* systemctl --root=container/ set-default ... is totally borked.
18
David Herrmann374c3562014-03-22 19:31:31 +010019* sd_bus_unref() is broken regarding self-references and "pseudo thread-safety".
20 See the comment in sd_bus_unref() for more..

Lennart Poetteringf38afcd2013-11-28 18:42:00 +010024* Fedora: when installing fedora with yum --installroot /var/run is a directory, not a symlink
Kay Sievers466784c2013-07-18 23:07:37 +020025 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=975864
Lennart Poettering55d32ca2013-06-18 16:06:05 +020026
Lennart Poetteringf38afcd2013-11-28 18:42:00 +010027* Fedora: add an rpmlint check that verifies that all unit files in the RPM are listed in %systemd_post macros.
Lennart Poetteringbafb15b2013-07-11 00:28:35 +020028
Lennart Poetteringf38afcd2013-11-28 18:42:00 +010029* Fedora: post FPC ticket to move add %tmpfiles_create to the packaging guidelines
Lennart Poetteringbafb15b2013-07-11 00:28:35 +020030
Lennart Poetteringeb124a92013-02-09 01:17:36 +010031Features:
Lennart Poettering154ff082013-05-15 22:40:36 +020032
Lennart Poetteringb107b702014-03-25 00:03:23 +010033* expose "Locked" property on logind sesison objects
34
Lennart Poetteringedb29352014-03-14 21:10:55 +010035* add bus api to query unit file's X fields.
36
Lennart Poettering769918e2014-03-12 16:38:49 +010037* consider adding RuntimeDirectoryUser= + RuntimeDirectoryGroup=
38
39* sd-event: define more intervals where we will shift wakeup intervals around in, 1h, 6h, 24h, ...
40
Lennart Poettering6a3f8922014-03-05 22:31:03 +010041* gpt-auto-generator:
Lennart Poettering2a781fc2014-03-08 04:05:48 +010042 - Support LUKS for root devices
43 - Define new partition type for encrypted swap? Support probed LUKS for encrypted swap?
Lennart Poettering6a3f8922014-03-05 22:31:03 +010044 - Make /home automount rather than mount?
Lennart Poettering6a3f8922014-03-05 22:31:03 +010045
Lennart Poetteringefc141b2014-03-05 02:30:47 +010046* improve journalctl performance by loading journal files
47 lazily. Encode just enough information in the file name, so that we
48 don't have to open it to know that it is not interesting for us, for
49 the most common operations.
50
Lennart Poettering726a6e92014-03-04 20:01:44 +010051* support transient mount units
Lennart Poettering7ba4fed2014-03-03 23:18:19 +010052
Lennart Poettering23fae272014-02-25 02:37:34 +010053* add an "input" group to udev logic and add all input devices to it
54
Lennart Poettering65026402014-02-24 17:34:37 +010055* machined: provide calls GetMachineByAddress() on the manager
56 interface to get the machine for a local IP address, and
57 GetAddress() on the Machine interface to get the Address for a
58 machine. Implement via forking off child process which quickly joins
59 the cotnainer and passes data to parent. Show this in "machinectl
60 status", and use it to implement NSS module to provide automatic
61 name resolution for containers.
Lennart Poettering53923762014-02-24 15:29:36 +010062
Lennart Poettering65026402014-02-24 17:34:37 +010063* add generator that pulls in systemd-network from containers when
64 CAP_NET_ADMIN is set, more than the loopback device is defined, even
65 when it is otherwise off
Lennart Poetteringf8901862014-02-24 13:21:55 +010066
Lennart Poetteringeda8f062014-02-23 03:18:46 +010067* MessageQueueMessageSize= and RLimitFSIZE= (and suchlike) should use parse_iec_size().
68
Lennart Poetteringd4fdc202014-02-19 18:20:04 +010069* "busctl status" works only as root on dbus1, since we cannot read
70 /proc/$PID/exe
71
Lennart Poettering4c63a532014-03-17 18:15:38 +010072* systemctl: support --recursive for list-sockets, list-timers,
73 ... too, not just for list-units.
Lennart Poettering7bb29542014-02-19 16:23:30 +010074
Lennart Poetteringaf1082b2014-02-14 16:40:52 +010075* implement Distribute= in socket units to allow running multiple
76 service instances processing the listening socket, and open this up
77 for ReusePort=
78
Lennart Poettering488ad3b2014-01-20 13:42:52 +010079* socket units: support creating sockets in different namespace,
80 opening it up for JoinsNamespaceOf=. This would require to fork off
81 a tiny process that joins the namespace and creates/binds the socket
82 and passes this back to PID1 via SCM_RIGHTS. This also could be used
83 to allow Chown/chgrp on sockets without requiring NSS in PID 1.
84
Lennart Poettering47c94a92013-11-05 11:53:09 +010085* New service property: maximum CPU and wallclock runtime for a service
86
Lennart Poettering09ecd742014-01-12 20:10:33 +080087* introduce bus call FreezeUnit(s, b), as well as "systemctl freeze
88 $UNIT" and "systemctl thaw $UNIT" as wrappers around this. The calls
89 should SIGSTOP all unit processes in a loop until all processes of
90 it are fully stopped. This can later be used for app management by
91 desktop UIs such as gnome-shell to freeze apps that are not visible
92 on screen, not unlike how job control works on the shell
93
Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmekef417cf2014-02-13 17:10:12 -050094* completions:
95 - busctl zsh completion is outdated
96 - systemd-nspawn -Z/-L/-q is missing for zsh
Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmekef417cf2014-02-13 17:10:12 -050097 - manager property enumeration was broken when systemd moved to /usr/lib/
Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek3333d742014-01-08 20:42:38 -050098
Lennart Poetteringf38afcd2013-11-28 18:42:00 +010099* cgroups:
Lennart Poetteringf38afcd2013-11-28 18:42:00 +0100100 - implement per-slice CPUFairScheduling=1 switch
101 - handle jointly mounted controllers correctly
102 - introduce high-level settings for RT budget, swappiness
103 - how to reset dynamically changed unit cgroup attributes sanely?
104 - when reloading configuration, apply new cgroup configuration
105 - when recursively showing the cgroup hierarchy, optionally also show
106 the hierarchies of child processes
107
108* transient units:
109 - allow creating auxiliary units with the same call
110 - add field to transient units that indicate whether systemd or somebody else saves/restores its settings, for integration with libvirt
111 - ensure scope units may be started only a single time
112
Lennart Poettering47c94a92013-11-05 11:53:09 +0100113* Automatically configure swap partition to use for hibernation by looking for largest swap partition on the root disk?
114
Lennart Poettering718db962013-11-19 21:12:59 +0100115* when we detect low battery and no AC on boot, show pretty splash and refuse boot
116
Lennart Poetteringf38afcd2013-11-28 18:42:00 +0100117* machined, localed: when we try to kill an empty cgroup, generate an ESRCH error over the bus
Lennart Poettering718db962013-11-19 21:12:59 +0100118
119* libsystemd-journal, libsystemd-login, libudev: add calls to easily attach these objects to sd-event event loops
120
Lennart Poettering966204e2013-11-11 03:03:17 +0100121* be more careful what we export on the bus as (usec_t) 0 and (usec_t) -1
122
Lennart Poettering94676f32013-11-08 19:48:42 +0100123* unify dispatch table in systemctl_main() and friends
Lennart Poettering6fd4d022013-11-08 13:53:09 +0100124
Lennart Poetteringced4d062013-11-05 03:06:33 +0100125* Automatically configure swap partition to use for hibernation by looking for largest swap partition on the root disk?
126
Lennart Poetteringaf1082b2014-02-14 16:40:52 +0100127* socket-proxyd: Use sd-resolve to resolve the server address
Lennart Poettering41644622013-10-14 04:52:51 +0200128
Lennart Poettering41644622013-10-14 04:52:51 +0200129* 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
130
Lennart Poettering7f79cd72013-10-04 17:01:32 +0200131* After coming back from hibernation reset hibernation swap partition using the /dev/snapshot ioctl APIs
Lennart Poettering0aafd432013-09-17 10:01:08 -0500132
Jan Engelhardt19aadac2013-10-22 01:50:48 +0200133* If we try to find a unit via a dangling symlink, generate a clean
134 error. Currently, we just ignore it and read the unit from the search
Lennart Poetteringdf5f6972013-09-13 14:28:17 +0200135 path anyway.
136
Lennart Poetteringfcba5312013-09-12 18:09:00 +0200137* refuse boot if /etc/os-release is missing or /etc/machine-id cannot be set up
138
Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek8b8f2592013-12-25 22:53:09 -0500139* given that logind now lets PID 1 do all nasty work, we can
140 probably reduce the capability set it retains substantially.
David Herrmanne10e4292014-01-05 13:59:12 +0100141 (we need CAP_SYS_ADMIN for drmSetMaster(), so maybe not worth it)
Lennart Poetteringe1b7e7e2013-07-19 03:48:23 +0200142
Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek6aaa8c22013-07-19 02:45:27 -0400143* btrfs raid assembly: some .device jobs stay stuck in the queue
Lennart Poetteringc3bb87d2013-07-18 02:29:06 +0200144
Lennart Poetteringe1b7e7e2013-07-19 03:48:23 +0200145* make sure gdm doesn't 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 +0200146
Lennart Poetteringbdeeb6b2013-07-10 02:01:14 +0200147* man: the documentation of Restart= currently is very misleading and suggests the tools from ExecStartPre= might get restarted.
148
149* load .d/*.conf dropins for device units
150
Lennart Poettering9444b1f2013-06-20 03:45:08 +0200151* gparted needs to disable auto-activation of mount units somehow, or
Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek69af4502013-07-16 22:44:38 -0400152 maybe we should stop doing auto-activation of this after boot
Lennart Poettering9444b1f2013-06-20 03:45:08 +0200153 entirely. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=701676
Kay Sievers466784c2013-07-18 23:07:37 +0200154 Maybe take a BSD lock at the disk device node and teach udev to
155 check for that and suppress event handling.
Lennart Poettering9444b1f2013-06-20 03:45:08 +0200156
Lennart Poettering4e090142013-06-06 16:25:38 +0200157* allow implementation of InaccessibleDirectories=/ plus
158 ReadOnlyDirectories=... for whitelisting files for a service.
159
Tom Gundersen6bb648a2014-01-13 17:30:51 +0100160* sd-bus:
Lennart Poetteringeb01ba52013-05-16 21:14:56 +0200161 - when kdbus doesn't take our message without memfds, try again with memfds
Lennart Poettering7973ca12014-03-19 16:24:47 +0100162 - systemd-bus-proxyd needs to enforce good old XML policy
163 - port exit-on-idle logic to byebye ioctl
164 - allow updating attach flags during runtime
165 - pid1: peek into activating message when activating a service
166 - introduce sd_bus_emit_object_added()/sd_bus_emit_object_removed() that automatically includes the build-in interfaces in the list
167 - constructors for bus messages should probably not be OK with a NULL bus pointer
168 - .busname units should not use get_user_creds()/get_cgroup_creds() but instead do NSS only in temporarily forked off child
Lennart Poetteringf38afcd2013-11-28 18:42:00 +0100169 - see if we can drop more message validation on the sending side
Lennart Poetteringf38afcd2013-11-28 18:42:00 +0100170 - add API to clone sd_bus_message objects
Lennart Poettering80caea62013-12-10 22:50:19 +0000171 - 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 +0100172 - longer term: priority inheritance
Lennart Poetteringdf98a872013-12-22 00:12:54 +0100173 - dbus spec updates:
174 - kdbus mapping
175 - NameLost/NameAcquired obsolete
176 - GVariant
Lennart Poetteringbee7e922013-12-22 03:50:30 +0100177 - "const" properties (posted)
Lennart Poettering2ecfc642014-03-10 23:17:42 +0100178 - path escaping
Lennart Poettering6a8b5fa2014-01-17 19:59:50 +0100179 - update systemd.special(7) to mention that dbus.socket is only about the compatibility socket now
Lennart Poettering69727e62014-01-28 12:33:32 +0100180 - test bloom filter generation indexes
Lennart Poettering0f3e07b2014-02-18 21:07:13 +0100181 - port to sd-resolve for connecting to TCP dbus servers
Lennart Poetteringf38afcd2013-11-28 18:42:00 +0100182
183* sd-event
Lennart Poettering12179982013-12-13 04:03:30 +0100184 - allow multiple signal handlers per signal?
Lennart Poetteringeb01ba52013-05-16 21:14:56 +0200185
Lennart Poettering154ff082013-05-15 22:40:36 +0200186* in the final killing spree, detect processes from the root directory, and
187 complain loudly if they have argv[0][0] == '@' set.
188 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=961044
189
Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek69af4502013-07-16 22:44:38 -0400190* investigate endianness issues of UUID vs. GUID
Lennart Poetteringe8a7a312013-04-24 17:18:01 -0300191
Lennart Poettering461bd8e2013-04-18 22:19:33 +0200192* dbus: when a unit failed to load (i.e. is in UNIT_ERROR state), we
193 should be able to safely try another attempt when the bus call LoadUnit() is invoked.
194
Lennart Poetteringab8e0742013-04-17 22:23:18 +0200195* add a pam module that passes the hdd passphrase into the PAM stack and then expires it, for usage by gdm auto-login.
196
197* add a pam module that on password changes updates any LUKS slot where the password matches
198
Lennart Poetteringb454b112013-04-17 18:48:23 +0200199* maybe add a generator that looks for "systemd.run=" on the kernel cmdline for container usercases...
200
201* timedatctl, localectl: possibly make some commands work without the daemon, for chroot situations...
202
Lennart Poettering06db8542013-12-17 21:36:54 +0100203* timedatectl: print a nicer message when enabling ntp fails because ntpd/chrony are not installed
204
Lennart Poettering4ff49cb2013-04-16 04:41:11 +0200205* cgtop: make cgtop useful in a container
206
Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmekfff87a32013-04-22 20:39:40 -0400207* test/:
208 - add 'set -e' to scripts in test/
209 - make stuff in test/ work with separate output dir
Lennart Poetteringb8b4d3d2013-04-09 22:20:05 +0200210
Lennart Poetteringb8b4d3d2013-04-09 22:20:05 +0200211* systemctl delete x.snapshot leaves no trace in logs (at least at default level).
212
Lennart Poettering3df82d52013-04-08 20:29:52 +0200213* make the coredump collector tool move itself into the user's cgroup
214 so that the coredump is properly written to the user's own journal
215 file.
216
Lennart Poetteringb5c03632013-03-29 18:28:43 +0100217* seems that when we follow symlinks to units we prefer the symlink
218 destination path over /etc and /usr. We shouldn't do that. Instead
219 /etc should always override /run+/usr and also any symlink
220 destination.
221
Lennart Poetteringeece8c62013-03-25 18:17:15 +0100222* when isolating, try to figure out a way how we implicitly can order
223 all units we stop before the isolating unit...
224
Lennart Poettering356ce992013-03-22 23:28:36 +0100225* teach ConditionKernelCommandLine= globs or regexes (in order to match foobar={no,0,off})
226
Lennart Poettering09f727e2013-03-20 22:57:55 +0100227* after all byte-wise realloc() is slow, even on glibc, so i guess we
228 need manual exponential loops after all
229
Lennart Poetteringc1446922014-03-21 03:27:17 +0100230* BootLoaderSpec: Clarify that the kernel has to be in $BOOT. Clarify
231 that the boot loader should be installed to the ESP. Define a way
232 how an installer can figure out whether a BLS compliant boot loader
233 is installed.
Lennart Poettering795607b2013-03-11 17:49:33 +0100234
Lennart Poettering0be83422013-03-07 13:39:57 +0100235* think about requeuing jobs when daemon-reload is issued? usecase:
236 the initrd issues a reload after fstab from the host is accessible
237 and we might want to requeue the mounts local-fs acquired through
238 that automatically.
239
Lennart Poetteringe5ec62c2013-04-01 23:04:11 +0200240* systemd-inhibit: make taking delay locks useful: support sending SIGINT or SIGTERM on PrepareForSleep()
Lennart Poettering54c31a72013-02-28 19:55:48 +0100241
Lennart Poettering826872b2013-02-27 15:00:38 +0100242* journal-or-kmsg is currently broken? See reverted commit 4a01181e460686d8b4a543b1dfa7f77c9e3c5ab8.
243
Lennart Poettering54c31a72013-02-28 19:55:48 +0100244* remove any syslog support from log.c -- we probably can't do this before split-off udev is gone for good
Lennart Poettering826872b2013-02-27 15:00:38 +0100245
Lennart Poettering3679d112013-02-27 02:24:10 +0100246* shutdown logging: store to EFI var, and store to USB stick?
247
Lennart Poettering3679d112013-02-27 02:24:10 +0100248* write UI tool that pops up emergency messages from the journal as notification
249
250* think about window-manager-run-as-user-service problem: exit 0 activate shutdown.target; exit != 0 restart service
251
Lennart Poetteringcbb77122013-02-13 19:35:28 +0100252* use "log level" rather than "log priority" everywhere
253
Lennart Poetteringd01a73b2013-02-13 00:12:40 +0100254* timedate: have global on/off switches for auto-time (NTP), and auto-timezone that connman can subscribe to.
255
Lennart Poettering356ce992013-03-22 23:28:36 +0100256* merge unit_kill_common() and unit_kill_context()
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100257
Lennart Poettering81d112a2013-01-29 00:36:23 +0100258* introduce ExecCondition= in services
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100259
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100260* EFI:
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100261 - write man page for efi boot generator
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100262 - honor language efi variables for default language selection (if there are any?)
263 - honor timezone efi variables for default timezone selection (if there are any?)
Kay Sievers466784c2013-07-18 23:07:37 +0200264 - 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 +0100265
Kay Sieversc0fe5db2013-01-27 22:59:01 +0100266* maybe do not install getty@tty1.service symlink in /etc but in /usr?
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100267
268* re-enable "make check" for gtk-doc (broken for unknown reason)
269
270* fstab: add new mount option x-systemd-after=/foobar/waldo to allow manual dependencies to other mount points
271 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=812826
272
273* print a nicer explanation if people use variable/specifier expansion in ExecStart= for the first word
274
Lennart Poettering205b7fa2013-01-07 22:15:48 +0100275* mount: turn dependency information from /proc/self/mountinfo into dependency information between systemd units.
276
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100277* logind:
278 - logind: optionally, ignore idle-hint logic for autosuspend, block suspend as long as a session is around
279 - When we update the kernel all kind of hibernation should be prohibited until shutdown/reboot
280 - logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
281 - Add pretty name for seats in logind
282 - logind: allow showing logout dialog from system?
Lennart Poetteringe5ec62c2013-04-01 23:04:11 +0200283 - we should probably handle SIGTERM/SIGINT to not leave dot files around, just in case
Lennart Poetteringf38afcd2013-11-28 18:42:00 +0100284 - session scopes/user unit: add RequiresMountsFor for the home directory of the user
285 - add Suspend() bus calls which take timestamps to fix double suspend issues when somebody hits suspend and closes laptop quickly.
286 - if pam_systemd is invoked by su from a process that is outside of a
287 any session we should probably just become a NOP, since that's
288 usually not a real user session but just some system code that just
289 needs setuid().
Lennart Poettering95b4be12012-12-23 22:38:21 +0100290
Lennart Poettering499519c2012-12-19 20:50:42 +0100291* exec: when deinitializating a tty device fix the perms and group, too, not only when initializing. Set access mode/gid to 0620/tty.
292
Lennart Poettering490b7e42012-12-19 15:27:27 +0100293* service: watchdog logic: for testing purposes allow ping, but do not require pong
294
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100295* journal:
Kay Sieversc06bf412013-02-27 13:07:09 +0100296 - import and delete pstore filesystem content at startup
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100297 - journald: also get thread ID from client, plus thread name
298 - journal: when waiting for journal additions in the client always sleep at least 1s or so, in order to minimize wakeups
299 - add API to close/reopen/get fd for journal client fd in libsystemd-journal.
300 - fallback to /dev/log based logging in libsystemd-journal, if we can't log natively?
301 - declare the local journal protocol stable in the wiki interface chart
302 - journal: reuse XZ context
303 - sd-journal: speed up sd_journal_get_data() with transparent hash table in bg
304 - journald: when dropping msgs due to ratelimit make sure to write
305 "dropped %u messages" not only when we are about to print the next
306 message that works, but alraedy after a short tiemout
307 - check if we can make journalctl by default use --follow mode inside of less if called without args?
308 - maybe add API to send pairs of iovecs via sd_journal_send
309 - journal: when writing journal auto-rotate if time jumps backwards
Lennart Poetteringf47ec8e2013-03-05 18:59:14 +0100310 - 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 +0100311 - journactl: support negative filtering, i.e. FOOBAR!="waldo",
312 and !FOOBAR for events without FOOBAR.
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100313 - 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 +0100314 - 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.
315 - journal: find a way to allow dropping history early, based on priority, other rules
316 - journal: When used on NFS, check payload hashes
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100317 - journald: check whether it is OK if the client can still modify delivered journal entries
Lennart Poetteringf47ec8e2013-03-05 18:59:14 +0100318 - journal live copy, based on libneon (client) and libmicrohttpd (server)
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100319 - journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
320 - refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
321 - journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
322 - journal: deal nicely with byte-by-byte copied files, especially regards header
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100323 - journal: store euid in journal if it differs from uid
324 - 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 -0700325 - Replace utmp, wtmp, btmp, and lastlog completely with journal
Lennart Poetteringf38afcd2013-11-28 18:42:00 +0100326 - journalctl: instead --after-cursor= maybe have a --cursor=XYZ+1 syntax?
Lennart Poetteringf38afcd2013-11-28 18:42:00 +0100327 - tmpfiles: when applying ownership to /run/log/journal, also do this for the journal fails contained in it
328 - when a kernel driver logs in a tight loop, we should ratelimit that too.
329 - journald: optionally, log debug messages to /run but everything else to /var
330 - journald: when we drop syslog messages because the syslog socket is
331 full, make sure to write how many messages are lost as first thing
332 to syslog when it works again.
333 - journald: make sure ratelimit is actually really per-service with the new cgroup changes
334 - change systemd-journal-flush into a service that stays around during
335 boot, and causes the journal to be moved back to /run on shutdown,
336 so that we don't keep /var busy. This needs to happen synchronously,
337 hence doing this via signals is not going to work.
Lennart Poettering59659842012-11-22 20:16:15 +0100338
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100339* document:
Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek8b8f2592013-12-25 22:53:09 -0500340 - document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fields in
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100341 [Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
342 - 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 +0100343 - document the exit codes when services fail before they are exec()ed
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100344 - document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
Lennart Poetteringeb124a92013-02-09 01:17:36 +0100345 - document in wiki how to map ical recurrence events to systemd timer unit calendar specifications
Lennart Poetteringf38afcd2013-11-28 18:42:00 +0100346 - add a man page containing packaging guidelines and recommending usage of things like Documentation=, PrivateTmp=, PrivateNetwork= and ReadOnlyDirectories=/etc /usr.
347 - document systemd-journal-flush.service properly
Lennart Poetteringf38afcd2013-11-28 18:42:00 +0100348 - documentation: recommend to connect the timer units of a service to the service via Also= in [Install]
349 - man: document the very specific env the shutdown drop-in tools live in
350 - man: extend runlevel(8) to mention that runlevels suck, and are dead. Maybe add runlevel(7) with a note about that too
351 - man: add more examples to man pages
352 - 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 +0100353
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100354* systemctl:
355 - systemctl list-jobs - show dependencies
356 - add systemctl switch to dump transaction without executing it
357 - Add a verbose mode to "systemctl start" and friends that explains what is being done or not done
358 - "systemctl disable" on a static unit prints no message and does
359 nothing. "systemctl enable" does nothing, and gives a bad message
360 about it. Should fix both to print nice actionable messages.
361 - print nice message from systemctl --failed if there are no entries shown, and hook that into ExecStartPre of rescue.service/emergency.service
362 - add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
363 - systemctl enable: improve the success messages (i.e. more human readable, less shell-like)
364 - systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into doesn't exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
365 - systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
366 - support "systemctl stop foobar@.service" to stop all units matching a certain template
367 - Something is wrong with symlink handling of "autovt@.service" in "systemctl list-unit-files"
Lennart Poetteringf38afcd2013-11-28 18:42:00 +0100368 - rework wait filter to not require match callback
Lennart Poetteringf38afcd2013-11-28 18:42:00 +0100369 - better error message if you run systemctl without systemd running
370 - systemctl status output should should include list of triggering units and their status
Lennart Poetteringf38afcd2013-11-28 18:42:00 +0100371
372* unit install:
373 - "systemctl mask" should find all names by which a unit is accessible
374 (i.e. by scanning for symlinks to it) and link them all to /dev/null
375 - "systemctl disable" of a unit instance removes all symlinks, but should
376 only remove the instance symlink (systemctl disable of a template
377 unit however should remove them all).
378 - systemctl list-unit-files should list generated files (and probably with a new state "generated" for them, or so)
379 - systemctl: maybe add "systemctl add-wants" or so...
Lennart Poettering8ed20652012-11-18 23:32:09 +0100380
Lennart Poetteringe673ad02012-11-14 22:20:51 +0100381* introduce ntp.service (or suchlike) as symlink that is used to arbitrate between various NTP implementations
382
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100383* deal with sendmail/postfix exclusivity
384
385* timer units:
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100386 - timer units should get the ability to trigger when:
387 o CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (TFD_TIMER_CANCEL_ON_SET)
388 o DST changes
Lennart Poetteringeb124a92013-02-09 01:17:36 +0100389 - Support 2012-02~4 as syntax for specifying the fourth to last day of the month.
Lennart Poetteringf38afcd2013-11-28 18:42:00 +0100390 - calendarspec: support value ranges with ".." notation. Example: 2013-4..8-1
391 - 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
Lennart Poettering90e071d2013-11-05 00:48:47 +0100392 - Modulate timer frequency based on battery state
Kay Sieversd2e83c22012-11-04 15:47:08 +0100393
394* update the kernel's TZ (sys_tz) when DST changes
395
396* sync down the system time to the RTC when:
Kay Sieversf6113d42012-11-07 13:59:50 +0100397 - CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (the user explicitely requested a time set)
398 - DST/timezone changes && ntp is active && RTC-in-localtime (never do it without ntp)
Kay Sieversd2e83c22012-11-04 15:47:08 +0100399 This takes care of syncing ntpdate updates to the RTC, and DST updates for localtime
Kay Sievers7a43e912012-11-05 02:17:23 +0100400 mode, it will never touch the RTC if the no reliable time source is active or the
Kay Sieversd2e83c22012-11-04 15:47:08 +0100401 user did not request anything like it.
Lennart Poetteringc55b1b52012-10-31 00:04:59 +0100402
Lennart Poetteringe707c492012-10-26 03:51:10 +0200403* libunwind support for coredump pattern hook, and includes this in
404 the message for coredumps. After all, libunwind is now capable to
405 unwind coredumps since a few weeks ago. This probably requires that
Lennart Poettering7f873282013-01-17 02:49:57 +0100406 we have nice support for multi-line messages on display in
407 logs-show.c. Alternatively: use libelfutil, which seems to be the
408 better supported alternative.
Lennart Poetteringe707c492012-10-26 03:51:10 +0200409
Lennart Poetteringa19554e2012-10-24 01:05:40 +0200410* add libsystemd-password or so to query passwords during boot using the password agent logic
411
Lennart Poettering1cb88f22012-10-23 17:13:01 +0200412* 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().
413
414* fedup: add --unit to systemctl switch-root somehow
415* fedup: don't delete initrd on switch-root
416* fedup: generator
Lennart Poettering603cd8f2012-10-23 01:53:23 +0200417
Lennart Poetteringf38afcd2013-11-28 18:42:00 +0100418* timedated: refuse time changes when NTP is on
Lennart Poettering6d0274f2012-10-17 02:50:09 +0200419
Lennart Poetteringa7a3f282012-10-15 16:28:04 +0200420* clean up date formatting and parsing so that all absolute/relative timestamps we format can also be parsed
421
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100422* 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 -0400423
Kay Sievers7d8197d2012-10-02 19:09:09 +0200424* add "provisioning" instructions to setup an empty /etc + /var
425 - used to setup a new container from a shared /usr
426 - superset of tmpfiles model
427 - instructions shipped by packages and stored in /usr/lib/
428 - compose /etc/passwd and /etc/group, copy files
429 - able to create uid + gid used by packages, for file ownership
430
Kay Sievers9ee58bd2012-10-02 18:18:41 +0200431* make repeated alt-ctrl-del presses printing a dump, or even force a reboot without
432 waiting for the timeout
Lennart Poetteringdcfc4b22012-08-03 21:49:06 +0200433
Lennart Poettering71ef24d2012-10-02 13:11:26 -0400434* hostnamed: before returning information from /etc/machine-info.conf check the modification data and reread. Similar for localed, ...
435
Lennart Poettering1b898842012-09-27 17:18:13 +0200436* currently x-systemd.timeout is lost in the initrd, since crypttab is copied into dracut, but fstab isn't
437
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100438* nspawn:
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100439 - nspawn: --read-only is not applied recursively to submounts
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100440 - bind mount read-only the cgroup tree higher than nspawn
Lennart Poettering9e281252014-02-24 03:03:05 +0100441 - nspawn: make it work for dwalsh and shared /usr containers -- tmpfs mounts as command line parameters
Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek9cb74bc2013-11-07 23:57:19 -0500442 - refuses to boot containers without /etc/machine-id (OK?), and with empty /etc/machine-id (not OK).
Lennart Poetteringa56b63f2013-12-13 16:01:54 +0100443 - support taking a btrfs snapshot at startup and dropping it afterwards
Lennart Poetteringaf1082b2014-02-14 16:40:52 +0100444 - maybe: hookup nspawn and PrivateNetwork=yes with "ip netns"
Tom Gundersen474cba12014-03-01 14:13:18 +0100445 - generate predictable mac addresses for the netdev we create (host0), maybe based on guest's machine
446 name and machine-id of host (?)
Lennart Poettering1920e372012-09-24 22:46:22 +0200447
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100448* cryptsetup:
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100449 - cryptsetup-generator: allow specification of passwords in crypttab itself
450 - move cryptsetup key caching into kernel keyctl?
451 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54982
Lennart Poettering5f1dac62013-04-29 19:57:29 -0300452 - support rd.luks.allow-discards= kernel cmdline params in cryptsetup generator
Lennart Poetteringf8019682012-09-21 20:52:23 +0200453
Lennart Poettering424a19f2012-09-14 20:02:52 +0200454* hw watchdog: optionally try to use the preset watchdog timeout instead of always overriding it
Lennart Poettering41f91722012-09-18 11:27:56 +0200455 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54712
Lennart Poettering424a19f2012-09-14 20:02:52 +0200456
457* after deserializing sockets in socket.c we should reapply sockopts and things
458
Lennart Poetteringa1cccad2012-09-13 17:11:10 +0200459* make timer units go away after they elapsed
460
Lennart Poettering85568792012-09-12 04:46:38 +0200461* http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2012-September/006502.html
Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmekd05c5562013-01-06 13:52:38 -0500462 (network and remote-fs on shutdown)
Lennart Poettering85568792012-09-12 04:46:38 +0200463
Lennart Poettering85568792012-09-12 04:46:38 +0200464* come up with a nice way to write queue/read_ahead_kb for a block device without interfering with readahead
465
Lennart Poettering4a308472012-09-11 01:45:27 +0200466* move PID 1 segfaults to /var/lib/systemd/coredump?
467
Lennart Poettering5e8b2882012-09-10 22:45:20 +0200468* create /sbin/init symlinks from the build system
469
Lennart Poetteringd87be9b2012-09-05 16:23:41 -0700470* Query Paul Moore about relabelling socket fds while they are open
471
Lennart Poettering38a60d72012-08-23 02:46:22 +0200472* allow writing multiple conditions in unit files on one line
473
Lennart Poetteringd8b78262012-08-21 17:38:29 +0200474* explore multiple service instances per listening socket idea
475
Lennart Poettering68f16002012-08-13 15:39:25 +0200476* MountFlags=shared acts as MountFlags=slave right now.
477
Lennart Poettering5a7e9592012-08-13 16:27:17 +0200478* ReadOnlyDirectories= is not applied recursively to submounts
479
Lennart Poettering68f16002012-08-13 15:39:25 +0200480* drop PID 1 reloading, only do reexecing (difficult: Reload()
481 currently is properly synchronous, Reexec() is weird, because we
482 can't delay the response properly until we are back, so instead of
483 being properly synchronous we just keep open the fd and close it
Thomas Hindoe Paaboel Andersenedca2e22012-11-05 21:13:28 +0100484 when done. That means clients don't get a successful method reply,
