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
Jan Engelhardt19aadac2013-10-22 01:50:48 +020013* When we detect invalid UTF-8, we cannot use it in an error message:
Maciej Wereskiea92ae32013-08-21 16:43:55 +020014 log...("Path is not UTF-8 clean, ignoring assignment: %s", rvalue);
15
Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek04ac7992013-08-19 16:00:13 -040016* shorten the message to sane length:
17
18 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.

Lennart Poettering3679d112013-02-27 02:24:10 +010021
Lennart Poetteringf38afcd2013-11-28 18:42:00 +010022* ps should gain colums for slice
Lennart Poettering7b4da182013-01-14 02:13:07 +010023
Lennart Poetteringf38afcd2013-11-28 18:42:00 +010024* Fedora: when installing fedora with yum --installroot /var/run is a directory, not a symlink

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 Poetteringe79e8af2014-01-08 18:09:05 +080033* Introduce PrivateDevices=yes/no which works like PrivateTmp= but for /dev setting up a tmpfs for it that only includes /dev/null, /dev/zero, /dev/random, /dev/urandom, but nothing else.
34
Lennart Poetteringb6741472013-12-11 22:04:03 +010035* libsystemd-journal returns the object created as first param in sd_journal_new(), sd_bus_new() and suchlike as last...
36
Lennart Poetteringf38afcd2013-11-28 18:42:00 +010037* cgroups:
38 - implement system-wide DefaultCPUAccounting=1 switch (and similar for blockio, memory?)
39 - implement per-slice CPUFairScheduling=1 switch
40 - handle jointly mounted controllers correctly
41 - introduce high-level settings for RT budget, swappiness
42 - how to reset dynamically changed unit cgroup attributes sanely?
43 - when reloading configuration, apply new cgroup configuration
44 - when recursively showing the cgroup hierarchy, optionally also show
45 the hierarchies of child processes
46
47* transient units:
48 - allow creating auxiliary units with the same call
49 - add field to transient units that indicate whether systemd or somebody else saves/restores its settings, for integration with libvirt
50 - ensure scope units may be started only a single time
51
Lennart Poettering08cd1552013-12-11 03:50:35 +000052* code cleanup
Lennart Poettering08cd1552013-12-11 03:50:35 +000053 - we probably should replace the left-over uses of strv_append() and replace them by strv_push() or strv_extend()
Lennart Poetteringf38afcd2013-11-28 18:42:00 +010054
Lennart Poettering718db962013-11-19 21:12:59 +010055* when we detect low battery and no AC on boot, show pretty splash and refuse boot
56
57* move libasyncns into systemd as libsystemd-asyncns
58
Lennart Poetteringf38afcd2013-11-28 18:42:00 +010059* machined, localed: when we try to kill an empty cgroup, generate an ESRCH error over the bus
Lennart Poettering718db962013-11-19 21:12:59 +010060
61* libsystemd-journal, libsystemd-login, libudev: add calls to easily attach these objects to sd-event event loops
62
Lennart Poettering966204e2013-11-11 03:03:17 +010063* be more careful what we export on the bus as (usec_t) 0 and (usec_t) -1
64
Lennart Poettering94676f32013-11-08 19:48:42 +010065* unify dispatch table in systemctl_main() and friends
Lennart Poettering6fd4d022013-11-08 13:53:09 +010066
Lennart Poetteringced4d062013-11-05 03:06:33 +010067* Automatically configure swap partition to use for hibernation by looking for largest swap partition on the root disk?
68
Lennart Poetteringf38afcd2013-11-28 18:42:00 +010069* socket-proxyd:Use a nonblocking alternative to getaddrinfo
Lennart Poettering41644622013-10-14 04:52:51 +020070
Lennart Poettering41644622013-10-14 04:52:51 +020071* 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
72
Lennart Poettering9db76352013-10-11 20:02:16 +020073* Add a new Distribute=$NUMBER key to socket units that makes use of SO_REUSEPORT to distribute network traffic on $NUMBER instances
74
Lennart Poetteringbaa89da2013-09-26 19:57:58 +020075* move config_parse_path_strv() out of conf-parser.c
76
Lennart Poettering7f79cd72013-10-04 17:01:32 +020077* After coming back from hibernation reset hibernation swap partition using the /dev/snapshot ioctl APIs
Lennart Poettering0aafd432013-09-17 10:01:08 -050078
Jan Engelhardt19aadac2013-10-22 01:50:48 +020079* If we try to find a unit via a dangling symlink, generate a clean
80 error. Currently, we just ignore it and read the unit from the search
Lennart Poetteringdf5f6972013-09-13 14:28:17 +020081 path anyway.
82
Jan Engelhardt19aadac2013-10-22 01:50:48 +020083* When a Type=forking service fails and needed another service, that
Lennart Poettering982e44d2013-09-12 18:52:41 +020084 service is not cleaned up again when it has StopWhenUnneeded=yes
85 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2013-July/012141.html
86
Lennart Poetteringfcba5312013-09-12 18:09:00 +020087* refuse boot if /etc/os-release is missing or /etc/machine-id cannot be set up
88
Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek8b8f2592013-12-25 22:53:09 -050089* given that logind now lets PID 1 do all nasty work, we can
90 probably reduce the capability set it retains substantially.
David Herrmanne10e4292014-01-05 13:59:12 +010091 (we need CAP_SYS_ADMIN for drmSetMaster(), so maybe not worth it)
Lennart Poetteringe1b7e7e2013-07-19 03:48:23 +020092
Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek6aaa8c22013-07-19 02:45:27 -040093* btrfs raid assembly: some .device jobs stay stuck in the queue
Lennart Poetteringc3bb87d2013-07-18 02:29:06 +020094
Lennart Poetteringe1b7e7e2013-07-19 03:48:23 +020095* 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 +020096
Lennart Poetteringbdeeb6b2013-07-10 02:01:14 +020097* man: the documentation of Restart= currently is very misleading and suggests the tools from ExecStartPre= might get restarted.
98
99* load .d/*.conf dropins for device units
100
Lennart Poettering9444b1f2013-06-20 03:45:08 +0200101* gparted needs to disable auto-activation of mount units somehow, or
Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek69af4502013-07-16 22:44:38 -0400102 maybe we should stop doing auto-activation of this after boot
Lennart Poettering9444b1f2013-06-20 03:45:08 +0200103 entirely. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=701676
Kay Sievers466784c2013-07-18 23:07:37 +0200104 Maybe take a BSD lock at the disk device node and teach udev to
105 check for that and suppress event handling.
Lennart Poettering9444b1f2013-06-20 03:45:08 +0200106
Jan Engelhardt19aadac2013-10-22 01:50:48 +0200107* something pulls in pcre as shared object dependency into our daemons such as hostnamed.
Lennart Poettering1f263d42013-06-11 08:55:42 +0200108
Lennart Poettering4e090142013-06-06 16:25:38 +0200109* allow implementation of InaccessibleDirectories=/ plus
110 ReadOnlyDirectories=... for whitelisting files for a service.
111
Lennart Poetteringeb01ba52013-05-16 21:14:56 +0200112* libsystemd-bus:
Lennart Poetteringeb01ba52013-05-16 21:14:56 +0200113 - when kdbus doesn't take our message without memfds, try again with memfds
Lennart Poettering86312ab2013-05-20 00:21:56 +0200114 - implement monitor logic
Lennart Poetteringf38afcd2013-11-28 18:42:00 +0100115 - see if we can drop more message validation on the sending side
Lennart Poetteringf38afcd2013-11-28 18:42:00 +0100116 - add API to clone sd_bus_message objects
117 - SD_BUS_COMMENT() macro for inclusion in vtables, syntax inspired by gdbus
Lennart Poetteringbee7e922013-12-22 03:50:30 +0100118 - systemd-bus-proxyd needs to enforce good old XML policy
119 - upload minimal kdbus policy into the kernel at boot
Lennart Poettering80caea62013-12-10 22:50:19 +0000120 - 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 Poettering0a825b52013-12-12 01:39:21 +0100121 - longer term:
122 * priority queues
123 * priority inheritance
Lennart Poettering452de752013-12-26 03:08:35 +0100124 - check sender of response messages
Lennart Poetteringdf98a872013-12-22 00:12:54 +0100125 - dbus spec updates:
126 - kdbus mapping
127 - NameLost/NameAcquired obsolete
128 - GVariant
Lennart Poetteringbee7e922013-12-22 03:50:30 +0100129 - "const" properties (posted)
Lennart Poettering00586792013-12-27 00:26:05 +0100130 - port exit-on-idle logic to byebye ioctl
131 - make use of "drop" ioctl in pid 1 bus activation
Lennart Poetteringe62b3b32014-01-07 06:34:39 +0800132 - bus proxy: override unique id sender for messages from driver to match the well-known name
133 - bus driver: GetNameOwner() for "org.freedesktop.DBus" should return "org.freedesktop.DBus"
Lennart Poetteringf38afcd2013-11-28 18:42:00 +0100134
135* sd-event
Lennart Poettering12179982013-12-13 04:03:30 +0100136 - allow multiple signal handlers per signal?
Lennart Poetteringeb01ba52013-05-16 21:14:56 +0200137
Lennart Poettering154ff082013-05-15 22:40:36 +0200138* in the final killing spree, detect processes from the root directory, and
139 complain loudly if they have argv[0][0] == '@' set.
140 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=961044
141
Lennart Poetteringd686f0342013-05-06 22:26:55 +0200142* Introduce a way how we can kill the main process of a service with KillSignal, but all processes with SIGKILL later on
143 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=952634
144
Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek69af4502013-07-16 22:44:38 -0400145* maybe add a warning to the unit file parses where the access mode of unit files is nonsensical.
Lennart Poettering19aa7c42013-05-03 14:19:19 +0200146
Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek69af4502013-07-16 22:44:38 -0400147* investigate endianness issues of UUID vs. GUID
Lennart Poetteringe8a7a312013-04-24 17:18:01 -0300148
Lennart Poettering461bd8e2013-04-18 22:19:33 +0200149* dbus: when a unit failed to load (i.e. is in UNIT_ERROR state), we
150 should be able to safely try another attempt when the bus call LoadUnit() is invoked.
151
Lennart Poetteringab8e0742013-04-17 22:23:18 +0200152* add a pam module that passes the hdd passphrase into the PAM stack and then expires it, for usage by gdm auto-login.
153
154* add a pam module that on password changes updates any LUKS slot where the password matches
155
Lennart Poetteringb454b112013-04-17 18:48:23 +0200156* maybe add a generator that looks for "systemd.run=" on the kernel cmdline for container usercases...
157
158* timedatctl, localectl: possibly make some commands work without the daemon, for chroot situations...
159
Lennart Poettering06db8542013-12-17 21:36:54 +0100160* timedatectl: print a nicer message when enabling ntp fails because ntpd/chrony are not installed
161
Lennart Poettering4ff49cb2013-04-16 04:41:11 +0200162* cgtop: make cgtop useful in a container
163
Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmekfff87a32013-04-22 20:39:40 -0400164* test/:
165 - add 'set -e' to scripts in test/
166 - make stuff in test/ work with separate output dir
Lennart Poetteringb8b4d3d2013-04-09 22:20:05 +0200167
Lennart Poetteringb8b4d3d2013-04-09 22:20:05 +0200168* systemctl delete x.snapshot leaves no trace in logs (at least at default level).
169
Lennart Poettering3df82d52013-04-08 20:29:52 +0200170* make the coredump collector tool move itself into the user's cgroup
171 so that the coredump is properly written to the user's own journal
172 file.
173
Lennart Poetteringb5c03632013-03-29 18:28:43 +0100174* seems that when we follow symlinks to units we prefer the symlink
175 destination path over /etc and /usr. We shouldn't do that. Instead
176 /etc should always override /run+/usr and also any symlink
177 destination.
178
Lennart Poetteringeece8c62013-03-25 18:17:15 +0100179* when isolating, try to figure out a way how we implicitly can order
180 all units we stop before the isolating unit...
181
Lennart Poettering356ce992013-03-22 23:28:36 +0100182* add ConditionArchitecture= or so
183
184* teach ConditionKernelCommandLine= globs or regexes (in order to match foobar={no,0,off})
185
Josh Triplett3b953d62013-03-15 08:50:12 -0700186* Support SO_REUSEPORT with socket activation:
187 - Let systemd maintain a pool of servers.
188 - Use for seamless upgrades, by running the new server before stopping the
189 old.
190
Lennart Poettering09f727e2013-03-20 22:57:55 +0100191* after all byte-wise realloc() is slow, even on glibc, so i guess we
192 need manual exponential loops after all
193
Lennart Poettering795607b2013-03-11 17:49:33 +0100194* BootLoaderSpec: drop allowing ext234 for $BOOT. Clarify that the
195 kernel has to be in $BOOT. Clarify that the boot loader should be
196 installed to the ESP. Define a way how an installer can figure out
197 whether a BLS compliant boot loader is installed.
198
Lennart Poettering0be83422013-03-07 13:39:57 +0100199* think about requeuing jobs when daemon-reload is issued? usecase:
200 the initrd issues a reload after fstab from the host is accessible
201 and we might want to requeue the mounts local-fs acquired through
202 that automatically.
203
Lennart Poetteringe5ec62c2013-04-01 23:04:11 +0200204* systemd-inhibit: make taking delay locks useful: support sending SIGINT or SIGTERM on PrepareForSleep()
Lennart Poettering54c31a72013-02-28 19:55:48 +0100205
Lennart Poettering826872b2013-02-27 15:00:38 +0100206* journal-or-kmsg is currently broken? See reverted commit 4a01181e460686d8b4a543b1dfa7f77c9e3c5ab8.
207
Lennart Poettering54c31a72013-02-28 19:55:48 +0100208* 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 +0100209
Lennart Poettering3679d112013-02-27 02:24:10 +0100210* shutdown logging: store to EFI var, and store to USB stick?
211
Lennart Poettering3679d112013-02-27 02:24:10 +0100212* write UI tool that pops up emergency messages from the journal as notification
213
214* think about window-manager-run-as-user-service problem: exit 0 → activate shutdown.target; exit != 0 → restart service
215
Lennart Poetteringcbb77122013-02-13 19:35:28 +0100216* use "log level" rather than "log priority" everywhere
217
Lennart Poetteringd01a73b2013-02-13 00:12:40 +0100218* timedate: have global on/off switches for auto-time (NTP), and auto-timezone that connman can subscribe to.
219
Lennart Poetteringf8aeee12013-01-30 02:33:16 +0100220* dev-setup.c: when running in a container, create a tiny stub udev
221 database with the systemd tag set for all network interfaces found,
222 so that libudev reports them as present, and systemd's .device units
223 will be activated.
224
Lennart Poettering356ce992013-03-22 23:28:36 +0100225* merge unit_kill_common() and unit_kill_context()
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100226
Lennart Poettering81d112a2013-01-29 00:36:23 +0100227* introduce ExecCondition= in services
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100228
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100229* EFI:
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100230 - write man page for efi boot generator
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100231 - honor language efi variables for default language selection (if there are any?)
232 - honor timezone efi variables for default timezone selection (if there are any?)
Kay Sievers466784c2013-07-18 23:07:37 +0200233 - 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 +0100234
Kay Sieversc0fe5db2013-01-27 22:59:01 +0100235* maybe do not install getty@tty1.service symlink in /etc but in /usr?
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100236
237* re-enable "make check" for gtk-doc (broken for unknown reason)
238
239* fstab: add new mount option x-systemd-after=/foobar/waldo to allow manual dependencies to other mount points
240 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=812826
241
242* print a nicer explanation if people use variable/specifier expansion in ExecStart= for the first word
243
Lennart Poettering205b7fa2013-01-07 22:15:48 +0100244* mount: turn dependency information from /proc/self/mountinfo into dependency information between systemd units.
245
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100246* logind:
247 - logind: optionally, ignore idle-hint logic for autosuspend, block suspend as long as a session is around
248 - When we update the kernel all kind of hibernation should be prohibited until shutdown/reboot
249 - logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
250 - Add pretty name for seats in logind
251 - logind: allow showing logout dialog from system?
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100252 - logind: non-local X11 server handling
253 - logind: add equivalent to sd_pid_get_owner_uid() to the D-Bus API
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100254 - pam: when leaving a session explicitly exclude the ReleaseSession() caller process from the killing spree
Lennart Poetteringe5ec62c2013-04-01 23:04:11 +0200255 - we should probably handle SIGTERM/SIGINT to not leave dot files around, just in case
Lennart Poetteringf38afcd2013-11-28 18:42:00 +0100256 - when logging out, remove user-owned sysv and posix IPC objects
257 - session scopes/user unit: add RequiresMountsFor for the home directory of the user
258 - add Suspend() bus calls which take timestamps to fix double suspend issues when somebody hits suspend and closes laptop quickly.
259 - if pam_systemd is invoked by su from a process that is outside of a
260 any session we should probably just become a NOP, since that's
261 usually not a real user session but just some system code that just
262 needs setuid().
Lennart Poettering95b4be12012-12-23 22:38:21 +0100263
Lennart Poettering499519c2012-12-19 20:50:42 +0100264* exec: when deinitializating a tty device fix the perms and group, too, not only when initializing. Set access mode/gid to 0620/tty.
265
Lennart Poettering490b7e42012-12-19 15:27:27 +0100266* service: watchdog logic: for testing purposes allow ping, but do not require pong
267
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100268* journal:
Kay Sieversc06bf412013-02-27 13:07:09 +0100269 - import and delete pstore filesystem content at startup
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100270 - journald: also get thread ID from client, plus thread name
271 - journal: when waiting for journal additions in the client always sleep at least 1s or so, in order to minimize wakeups
272 - add API to close/reopen/get fd for journal client fd in libsystemd-journal.
273 - fallback to /dev/log based logging in libsystemd-journal, if we can't log natively?
274 - declare the local journal protocol stable in the wiki interface chart
275 - journal: reuse XZ context
276 - sd-journal: speed up sd_journal_get_data() with transparent hash table in bg
277 - journald: when dropping msgs due to ratelimit make sure to write
278 "dropped %u messages" not only when we are about to print the next
279 message that works, but alraedy after a short tiemout
280 - check if we can make journalctl by default use --follow mode inside of less if called without args?
281 - maybe add API to send pairs of iovecs via sd_journal_send
282 - journal: when writing journal auto-rotate if time jumps backwards
Lennart Poetteringf47ec8e2013-03-05 18:59:14 +0100283 - 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 +0100284 - journactl: support negative filtering, i.e. FOOBAR!="waldo",
285 and !FOOBAR for events without FOOBAR.
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100286 - 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 +0100287 - 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.
288 - journal: find a way to allow dropping history early, based on priority, other rules
289 - journal: When used on NFS, check payload hashes
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100290 - journald: check whether it is OK if the client can still modify delivered journal entries
Lennart Poetteringf47ec8e2013-03-05 18:59:14 +0100291 - journal live copy, based on libneon (client) and libmicrohttpd (server)
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100292 - journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
293 - refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
294 - journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
295 - journal: deal nicely with byte-by-byte copied files, especially regards header
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100296 - journal: store euid in journal if it differs from uid
297 - 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 -0700298 - Replace utmp, wtmp, btmp, and lastlog completely with journal
Lennart Poetteringf38afcd2013-11-28 18:42:00 +0100299 - journalctl: instead --after-cursor= maybe have a --cursor=XYZ+1 syntax?
Lennart Poetteringf38afcd2013-11-28 18:42:00 +0100300 - tmpfiles: when applying ownership to /run/log/journal, also do this for the journal fails contained in it
301 - when a kernel driver logs in a tight loop, we should ratelimit that too.
302 - journald: optionally, log debug messages to /run but everything else to /var
303 - journald: when we drop syslog messages because the syslog socket is
304 full, make sure to write how many messages are lost as first thing
305 to syslog when it works again.
306 - journald: make sure ratelimit is actually really per-service with the new cgroup changes
307 - change systemd-journal-flush into a service that stays around during
308 boot, and causes the journal to be moved back to /run on shutdown,
309 so that we don't keep /var busy. This needs to happen synchronously,
310 hence doing this via signals is not going to work.
Lennart Poettering59659842012-11-22 20:16:15 +0100311
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100312* document:
Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek8b8f2592013-12-25 22:53:09 -0500313 - document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fields in
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100314 [Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
315 - 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 +0100316 - document the exit codes when services fail before they are exec()ed
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100317 - document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
Lennart Poetteringeb124a92013-02-09 01:17:36 +0100318 - document in wiki how to map ical recurrence events to systemd timer unit calendar specifications
Lennart Poetteringf38afcd2013-11-28 18:42:00 +0100319 - add a man page containing packaging guidelines and recommending usage of things like Documentation=, PrivateTmp=, PrivateNetwork= and ReadOnlyDirectories=/etc /usr.
320 - document systemd-journal-flush.service properly
321 - man: remove .include documentation, and instead push people to use .d/*.conf
322 - documentation: recommend to connect the timer units of a service to the service via Also= in [Install]
323 - man: document the very specific env the shutdown drop-in tools live in
324 - man: extend runlevel(8) to mention that runlevels suck, and are dead. Maybe add runlevel(7) with a note about that too
325 - man: add more examples to man pages
326 - 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 +0100327
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100328* systemctl:
329 - systemctl list-jobs - show dependencies
330 - add systemctl switch to dump transaction without executing it
331 - Add a verbose mode to "systemctl start" and friends that explains what is being done or not done
332 - "systemctl disable" on a static unit prints no message and does
333 nothing. "systemctl enable" does nothing, and gives a bad message
334 about it. Should fix both to print nice actionable messages.
335 - print nice message from systemctl --failed if there are no entries shown, and hook that into ExecStartPre of rescue.service/emergency.service
336 - add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
337 - systemctl enable: improve the success messages (i.e. more human readable, less shell-like)
338 - systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into doesn't exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
339 - systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
340 - support "systemctl stop foobar@.service" to stop all units matching a certain template
341 - Something is wrong with symlink handling of "autovt@.service" in "systemctl list-unit-files"
Lennart Poetteringf38afcd2013-11-28 18:42:00 +0100342 - rework wait filter to not require match callback
Lennart Poetteringf38afcd2013-11-28 18:42:00 +0100343 - better error message if you run systemctl without systemd running
344 - systemctl status output should should include list of triggering units and their status
Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek8b8f2592013-12-25 22:53:09 -0500345 - in systemctl list-timers show time triggering units ran last
Lennart Poetteringf38afcd2013-11-28 18:42:00 +0100346
347* unit install:
348 - "systemctl mask" should find all names by which a unit is accessible
349 (i.e. by scanning for symlinks to it) and link them all to /dev/null
350 - "systemctl disable" of a unit instance removes all symlinks, but should
351 only remove the instance symlink (systemctl disable of a template
352 unit however should remove them all).
353 - systemctl list-unit-files should list generated files (and probably with a new state "generated" for them, or so)
354 - systemctl: maybe add "systemctl add-wants" or so...
Lennart Poettering8ed20652012-11-18 23:32:09 +0100355
Lennart Poetteringe673ad02012-11-14 22:20:51 +0100356* introduce ntp.service (or suchlike) as symlink that is used to arbitrate between various NTP implementations
357
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100358* deal with sendmail/postfix exclusivity
359
360* timer units:
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100361 - timer events with system resume
362 - timer units should get the ability to trigger when:
363 o CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (TFD_TIMER_CANCEL_ON_SET)
364 o DST changes
Lennart Poetteringeb124a92013-02-09 01:17:36 +0100365 - Support 2012-02~4 as syntax for specifying the fourth to last day of the month.
Lennart Poetteringf38afcd2013-11-28 18:42:00 +0100366 - calendarspec: support value ranges with ".." notation. Example: 2013-4..8-1
367 - 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 +0100368 - Modulate timer frequency based on battery state
369 - anacron-like feature
Kay Sieversd2e83c22012-11-04 15:47:08 +0100370
371* update the kernel's TZ (sys_tz) when DST changes
372
373* sync down the system time to the RTC when:
Kay Sieversf6113d42012-11-07 13:59:50 +0100374 - CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (the user explicitely requested a time set)
375 - DST/timezone changes && ntp is active && RTC-in-localtime (never do it without ntp)
Kay Sieversd2e83c22012-11-04 15:47:08 +0100376 This takes care of syncing ntpdate updates to the RTC, and DST updates for localtime
Kay Sievers7a43e912012-11-05 02:17:23 +0100377 mode, it will never touch the RTC if the no reliable time source is active or the
Kay Sieversd2e83c22012-11-04 15:47:08 +0100378 user did not request anything like it.
Lennart Poetteringc55b1b52012-10-31 00:04:59 +0100379
Lennart Poettering59704f32013-01-17 21:20:23 +0100380* if booted in "quiet" mode, and an error happens, turn on status
381 output again, so that the emergency mode isn't totally
382 surprising. Also, terminate plymouth.
Lennart Poettering9ec82de2012-10-28 00:49:49 +0200383
Lennart Poetteringe707c492012-10-26 03:51:10 +0200384* libunwind support for coredump pattern hook, and includes this in
385 the message for coredumps. After all, libunwind is now capable to
386 unwind coredumps since a few weeks ago. This probably requires that
Lennart Poettering7f873282013-01-17 02:49:57 +0100387 we have nice support for multi-line messages on display in
388 logs-show.c. Alternatively: use libelfutil, which seems to be the
389 better supported alternative.
Lennart Poetteringe707c492012-10-26 03:51:10 +0200390
Lennart Poetteringa19554e2012-10-24 01:05:40 +0200391* add libsystemd-password or so to query passwords during boot using the password agent logic
392
Lennart Poettering1cb88f22012-10-23 17:13:01 +0200393* 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().
394
395* fedup: add --unit to systemctl switch-root somehow
396* fedup: don't delete initrd on switch-root
397* fedup: generator
Lennart Poettering603cd8f2012-10-23 01:53:23 +0200398
Lennart Poetteringf38afcd2013-11-28 18:42:00 +0100399* timedated: refuse time changes when NTP is on
Lennart Poettering6d0274f2012-10-17 02:50:09 +0200400
Lennart Poetteringa7a3f282012-10-15 16:28:04 +0200401* clean up date formatting and parsing so that all absolute/relative timestamps we format can also be parsed
402
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100403* 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 -0400404
Kay Sievers7d8197d2012-10-02 19:09:09 +0200405* add "provisioning" instructions to setup an empty /etc + /var
406 - used to setup a new container from a shared /usr
407 - superset of tmpfiles model
408 - instructions shipped by packages and stored in /usr/lib/
409 - compose /etc/passwd and /etc/group, copy files
410 - able to create uid + gid used by packages, for file ownership
411
Kay Sievers9ee58bd2012-10-02 18:18:41 +0200412* make repeated alt-ctrl-del presses printing a dump, or even force a reboot without
413 waiting for the timeout
Lennart Poetteringdcfc4b22012-08-03 21:49:06 +0200414
Lennart Poettering71ef24d2012-10-02 13:11:26 -0400415* hostnamed: before returning information from /etc/machine-info.conf check the modification data and reread. Similar for localed, ...
416
Lennart Poettering1b898842012-09-27 17:18:13 +0200417* currently x-systemd.timeout is lost in the initrd, since crypttab is copied into dracut, but fstab isn't
418
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100419* nspawn:
420 - nspawn: consider changing users for -u with su, so that NSS resolving works correctly
421 - nspawn: implement personality changes a la linux32(8)
422 - nspawn: --read-only is not applied recursively to submounts
423 - nspawn: make use of device cgroup controller by default
424 - bind mount read-only the cgroup tree higher than nspawn
Lennart Poetteringeb124a92013-02-09 01:17:36 +0100425 - nspawn: investigate whether we can support the same as LXC's
426 lxc.network.type=phys mode, and pass through entire network
427 interfaces to the container
Lennart Poetteringeb124a92013-02-09 01:17:36 +0100428 - nspawn: maybe explicitly reset loginuid?
Lennart Poettering3679d112013-02-27 02:24:10 +0100429 - nspawn: make it work for dwalsh and shared /usr containers -- tmpfs mounts as command line parameters, selinux exec context
Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek9cb74bc2013-11-07 23:57:19 -0500430 - refuses to boot containers without /etc/machine-id (OK?), and with empty /etc/machine-id (not OK).
Lennart Poetteringf38afcd2013-11-28 18:42:00 +0100431 - add an option to nspawn that uses seccomp to make socket(AF_NETLINK,
432 SOCK_RAW, NETLINK_AUDIT) fail the the appropriate error code that
433 makes the audit userspace to think auditing is not available in the
434 kernel.
Lennart Poetteringa56b63f2013-12-13 16:01:54 +0100435 - support taking a btrfs snapshot at startup and dropping it afterwards
Lennart Poettering1920e372012-09-24 22:46:22 +0200436
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100437* cryptsetup:
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100438 - cryptsetup-generator: allow specification of passwords in crypttab itself
439 - move cryptsetup key caching into kernel keyctl?
440 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54982
Lennart Poettering5f1dac62013-04-29 19:57:29 -0300441 - support rd.luks.allow-discards= kernel cmdline params in cryptsetup generator
Lennart Poetteringf8019682012-09-21 20:52:23 +0200442
Lennart Poettering424a19f2012-09-14 20:02:52 +0200443* hw watchdog: optionally try to use the preset watchdog timeout instead of always overriding it
Lennart Poettering41f91722012-09-18 11:27:56 +0200444 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54712
Lennart Poettering424a19f2012-09-14 20:02:52 +0200445
446* after deserializing sockets in socket.c we should reapply sockopts and things
447
Lennart Poetteringa1cccad2012-09-13 17:11:10 +0200448* make timer units go away after they elapsed
449
Lennart Poettering85568792012-09-12 04:46:38 +0200450* http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2012-September/006502.html
Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmekd05c5562013-01-06 13:52:38 -0500451 (network and remote-fs on shutdown)
Lennart Poettering85568792012-09-12 04:46:38 +0200452
Lennart Poettering85568792012-09-12 04:46:38 +0200453* come up with a nice way to write queue/read_ahead_kb for a block device without interfering with readahead
454
Lennart Poettering4a308472012-09-11 01:45:27 +0200455* move PID 1 segfaults to /var/lib/systemd/coredump?
456
Lennart Poettering5e8b2882012-09-10 22:45:20 +0200457* create /sbin/init symlinks from the build system
458
Lennart Poetteringd87be9b2012-09-05 16:23:41 -0700459* Query Paul Moore about relabelling socket fds while they are open
460
Lennart Poettering38a60d72012-08-23 02:46:22 +0200461* allow writing multiple conditions in unit files on one line
462
Lennart Poetteringd8b78262012-08-21 17:38:29 +0200463* explore multiple service instances per listening socket idea
464
Lennart Poettering7560fff2012-08-13 20:31:10 +0200465* shutdown: don't read-only mount anything when running in container
466
Lennart Poettering68f16002012-08-13 15:39:25 +0200467* MountFlags=shared acts as MountFlags=slave right now.
468
Lennart Poettering5a7e9592012-08-13 16:27:17 +0200469* ReadOnlyDirectories= is not applied recursively to submounts
470
Lennart Poettering68f16002012-08-13 15:39:25 +0200471* drop PID 1 reloading, only do reexecing (difficult: Reload()
472 currently is properly synchronous, Reexec() is weird, because we
473 can't delay the response properly until we are back, so instead of
474 being properly synchronous we just keep open the fd and close it
Thomas Hindoe Paaboel Andersenedca2e22012-11-05 21:13:28 +0100475 when done. That means clients don't get a successful method reply,
Lennart Poettering68f16002012-08-13 15:39:25 +0200476 but much rather a disconnect on success.
Lennart Poettering0790b9f2012-08-09 12:52:49 +0200477
Lennart Poetteringfd4d89b2012-08-08 18:10:35 +0200478* properly handle loop back mounts via fstab, especially regards to fsck/passno
479
Lennart Poettering8230e262012-08-06 16:35:44 +0200480* allow services with no ExecStart= but with an ExecStop=
481
Lennart Poettering4d9909c2012-07-31 14:35:42 +0200482* dracut-shutdown needs to be ordered before unmounting /boot
483
Lennart Poettering47ae7202012-07-27 12:21:39 +0200484* initialize the hostname from the fs label of /, if /etc/hostname does not exist?
485

682 in an ~30 minutes window. It does not adjust larger differences. Find a way
683 to tell the kernel, to always do a full time sync when the RTC is in UTC and
684 we are in 11-minutes-mode. When we trust the system time to NTP we also want
685 the RTC to sync up.
