Lennart Poetteringafe3ab52014-10-24 19:07:01 +02001Bugfixes:
Kay Sieversc343be22014-06-04 11:14:48 +02002
Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmekb3ae7102014-04-01 20:43:15 -04003* Should systemctl status \* work on all unit types, not just .service?
4
Kay Sieversf9576322011-09-21 19:33:52 +02005* Dangling symlinks of .automount unit files in .wants/ directories, set up
6 automount points even when the original .automount file did not exist
7 anymore. Only the .mount unit was still around.
8
Lennart Poetteringa40593a2011-11-08 19:12:29 +01009* 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 +020010
Lennart Poetteringafe3ab52014-10-24 19:07:01 +020011* ExecStart with unicode characters fails in strv_split_quoted:
Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmekd19e85f2014-10-07 09:11:03 -040012
13 [Service]
14 Environment=ONE='one' "TWO='two two' too" THREE=
15 ExecStart=/bin/python3 -c 'import sys;print(sys.argv)' $ONE $TWO $THREE
16
Harald Hoyer3f85ef02014-11-06 15:33:48 +010017* MEMORY return code is overloaded for syntax errors in the command line.
Lennart Poetteringafe3ab52014-10-24 19:07:01 +020018 str_split_quoted() should return a real return code, so spawn_child can
19 report the failure properly.
Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmekafea8d32014-10-07 20:01:02 -040020
Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmekb43434e2014-11-01 15:37:16 -040021* udev_set_log_priority should verify the value before saving it.

Lennart Poetteringf85857d2014-10-29 17:08:00 +010024
Lennart Poetteringf38afcd2013-11-28 18:42:00 +010025* 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 +020026
Lennart Poetteringf38afcd2013-11-28 18:42:00 +010027* Fedora: post FPC ticket to move add %tmpfiles_create to the packaging guidelines
Lennart Poetteringbafb15b2013-07-11 00:28:35 +020028
Kay Sievers81429132014-06-18 03:46:44 +020029* Fedora: move kernel image to /usr/lib/modules/, kernel-install will take care of populating /boot
30
Lennart Poettering58f55362014-07-07 21:20:29 +020031* Fedora: remove /etc/resolv.conf tmpfiles hack
32
Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek83a1ff22014-09-03 22:12:51 -040033* wiki: update journal format documentation for lz4 additions
34
35* When lz4 gets an API for lz4 command output, make use of it to
36 compress coredumps in a way compatible with /usr/bin/lz4.
37
Lennart Poetteringeb124a92013-02-09 01:17:36 +010038Features:
Lennart Poetteringfbe1a1a2014-06-24 19:34:27 +020039
Lennart Poetteringd48b7bd2014-11-07 16:31:42 +010040* maybe add support for specifier expansion in user.conf, specifically DefaultEnvironment=
41
Lennart Poettering4e143732014-11-07 02:01:47 +010042* kdbus: set the bus-wide creds sender requirement mask to ANY
43
Lennart Poetteringd48b7bd2014-11-07 16:31:42 +010044* kdbus: busnames.target should get pulled in by basic.target
45
Lennart Poettering25e14492014-11-07 01:10:57 +010046* code cleanup: retire FOREACH_WORD_QUOTED, port to unquote_first_word() loops instead
47
Lennart Poettering57f2a942014-11-04 17:54:40 +010048* logind: when the power button is pressed short, just popup a logout dialog. If it is pressed for 1s, do the usual shutdown. Inspiration are Macs here.
49
Lennart Poetteringf85857d2014-10-29 17:08:00 +010050* optionally support running journald from the command line for testing purposes in external projects
51
Lennart Poettering758c4d72014-10-23 01:09:38 +020052* journald: allow per-priority and per-service retention times when rotating/vacuuming
53
54* introduce systemd-timesync-wait.service or so to sync on an NTP fix?
55
Lennart Poettering821cc132014-10-23 00:52:21 +020056* systemd --user should issue sd_notify() upon reaching basic.target, not on becoming idle
57
Lennart Poettering8483d732014-10-22 20:24:16 +020058* configure.ac pretends dbus was optional but actually hardcodes use of dbus' pkg-config file to determine various dbus dirs such as policy and activation dirs
59
60* consider showing the unit names during boot up in the status output, not just the unit descriptions
61
Lennart Poettering8483d732014-10-22 20:24:16 +020062* dhcp: do we allow configuring dhcp routes on interfaces that are not the one we got the dhcp info from?
63
64* maybe allow timer units with an empty Units= setting, so that they
65 can be used for resuming the system but nothing else.
66
Lennart Poetteringf62531c2014-10-22 16:54:06 +020067* what to do about udev db binary stability for apps?
Lennart Poetteringb857e042014-10-22 12:40:49 +020068
Lennart Poettering6dab5bb2014-10-20 22:03:36 +020069* maybe provide an API to allow migration of foreign PIDs into existing scopes.
70
Lennart Poettering8a25e112014-10-17 13:49:01 +020071* PID 1 doesn't apply nspawns devices cgroup policy
72
Lennart Poettering384a4be2014-10-09 16:51:31 +020073* maybe support a new very "soft" reboot mode, that simply kills all processes, disassembles everything, flushes /run and sysvipc, and then reexecs systemd again
74
Lennart Poettering706d9752014-10-09 01:46:31 +020075* man: document that corrupted journal files is nothing to act on
76
Lennart Poettering402696d2014-10-08 21:32:30 +020077* bus-proxy: when passing messages from kdbus, make sure we properly
78 handle the case where a large number of fds is appended that we
79 cannot pass into sendmsg() of the AF_UNIX sokcet (which only accepts
80 253 messages)
81
Lennart Poettering3bcde972014-09-05 21:49:23 +020082* man: maybe use the word "inspect" rather than "introspect"?
83
Lennart Poettering533bb262014-09-03 18:59:17 +020084* introduce machines.target to order after all nspawn instances
85
86* systemd-nspawn@.service should fail if some nspawn arg is invalid, with Type=notify
87
88* "machinectl list" should probably show columns for OS version and IP addresses
89
90* systemctl: if it fails, show log output?
91
Lennart Poettering202aea42014-08-28 20:23:52 +020092* maybe add "systemctl edit" that copies unit files from /usr/lib/systemd/system to /etc/systemd/system and invokes vim on them
93
Lennart Poettering42aeb142014-08-26 03:59:05 +020094* refcounting in sd-resolve is borked
95
96* exponential backoff in timesyncd and resolved when we cannot reach a server
97
Lennart Poettering8a0dec92014-08-19 19:22:40 +020098* journald: make use of uid-range.h to managed uid ranges to split
99 journals in.
100
Lennart Poettering14a32922014-08-19 16:47:37 +0200101* tmpfiles: port to unquote_many_words(), similar to sysusers
102
103* unquote_many_words() should probably be used by a lot of code that
104 currently uses FOREACH_WORD and friends. For example, most conf
105 parsing callbacks should use it.
106
Lennart Poettering9da465d2014-08-18 23:16:18 +0200107* logind: make the Suspend()/Hibernate() bus calls wait for the for
108 the job to be completed. before returning, so that clients can wait
109 for "systemctl suspend" to finish to know when the suspending is
110 complete.
111
Lennart Poettering563b1bd2014-08-15 18:01:30 +0200112* merge ~/.local/share and ~/.local/lib into one similar /usr/lib and /usr/share....
113
Lennart Poetteringca70bec2014-08-14 19:02:48 +0200114* journald: allows specification of UID range for splitting up journal files
115
Lennart Poettering5dcf9832014-08-14 16:36:25 +0200116* systemd.show_status= should probably have a mode where only failed
117 units are shown.
118
Lennart Poetteringb873d332014-08-12 15:41:13 +0200119* networkd:
Lennart Poetteringd61bb442014-08-19 02:09:14 +0200120 - add LLDP client side support
Lennart Poetteringed220ef2014-08-12 19:50:36 +0200121 - the DHCP lease data (such as NTP/DNS) is still made available when
122 a carrier is lost on a link. It should be removed instantly.
Lennart Poettering41488fe2014-08-14 04:13:31 +0200123 - .network setting that allows overriding of the hostname to send to the dhcp server
124 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-July/021550.html
Lennart Poettering41488fe2014-08-14 04:13:31 +0200125 - expose in the API the following bits:
126 - option 15, domain name and/or option 119, search list
127 - option 12, host name and/or option 81, fqdn
128 - option 100, 101, timezone
129 - option 123, 144, geolocation
130 - option 252, configure http proxy (PAC/wpad)
Lennart Poetteringca70bec2014-08-14 19:02:48 +0200131 - networkd's dhcp server should transparently pass on the DNS and
132 NTP server list it got from user configuration and its dhcp client
133 to clients. It should also pass on its own timezone information.
Lennart Poettering1dbe0a62014-08-15 01:25:36 +0200134 - provide a way to define a per-network interface default metric value
135 for all routes to it. possibly a second default for DHCP routes.
Tom Gundersen157a1802014-10-23 20:14:38 +0200136 - allow Name= to be specified repeatedly in the [Match] section. Maybe also
137 support Name=foo*|bar*|baz ?
Lennart Poetteringb873d332014-08-12 15:41:13 +0200138
Lennart Poettering9d6db732014-07-16 00:31:27 +0200139* resolved:
Lennart Poettering1dbe0a62014-08-15 01:25:36 +0200140 - put networkd events and rtnl events at a higher priority, so that
141 we always process them before we process client requests
Lennart Poettering9d6db732014-07-16 00:31:27 +0200142 - DNSSEC
Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmekff3d6562014-08-03 16:44:49 -0400143 - use base64 for key presentation?
144 - add display of private key types (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4034#appendix-A.1.1)?
Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek151226a2014-08-03 18:17:22 -0400145 - add nice formatting of DNS timestamps
Lennart Poettering23c40912014-08-04 23:08:13 +0200146 - DNS
147 - search paths
Lennart Poettering9d6db732014-07-16 00:31:27 +0200148 - mDNS/DNS-SD
Lennart Poettering0f47ed02014-07-31 17:47:09 +0200149 - avahi compat
Lennart Poettering9d6db732014-07-16 00:31:27 +0200150 - DNS-SD service registration from socket units
Lennart Poetteringbc075482014-07-30 02:08:11 +0200151 - edns0
152 - dname
Lennart Poetteringb6b63572014-07-17 19:39:23 +0200153 - cname on PTR (?)
Lennart Poettering9d6db732014-07-16 00:31:27 +0200154
Kay Sievers3f77a1b2014-07-30 17:28:04 +0200155* Ignore .busname units on classic D-Bus boots, systemd-resolved cannot be started on kdbus
156 without the active policy and should get a Wants=org.freedesktop.resolve1.busname to
157 pull-in the policy.
158
Lennart Poetteringe2a69292014-07-09 19:20:48 +0200159* Allow multiple ExecStart= for all Type= settings, so that we can cover rescue.service nicely
160
Lennart Poettering2834ffe2014-07-01 13:51:26 +0200161* Add a new verb "systemctl top"
162
Lennart Poetteringfed515f2014-06-27 20:42:31 +0200163* logind: allow users to kill or lock their own sessions
Lennart Poettering22981162014-06-27 18:58:23 +0200164
Lennart Poetteringa9407782014-07-07 11:48:06 +0200165* add new gpt type for btrfs volumes
166
Lennart Poetteringa01647e2014-06-16 12:29:51 +0200167* support empty /etc boots nicely:
Lennart Poettering3c779fa2014-06-18 00:01:07 +0200168 - nspawn/gpt-generator: introduce new gpt partition type for /usr
Lennart Poetteringa9407782014-07-07 11:48:06 +0200169 - fstab-generator: support systemd.volatile=yes|no|state on the kernel cmdline, too, similar to nspawn's --volatile=
Lennart Poetteringa01647e2014-06-16 12:29:51 +0200170
Lennart Poettering3de03732014-05-22 16:14:50 +0900171* generator that automatically discovers btrfs subvolumes, identifies their purpose based on some xattr on them.
172
173* support setting empty environment variables with Environment= and EnvironmentFile=
174
Lennart Poettering2b1c3762014-05-16 00:23:26 +0200175* timer units: actually add extra delays to timer units with high AccuracySec values, don't start them already when we are awake...
176
Lennart Poettering37efac52014-05-05 21:18:54 +0200177* a way for container managers to turn off getty starting via $container_headless= or so...
178
Lennart Poettering7348b3a2014-05-02 17:56:01 +0200179* figure out a nice way how we can let the admin know what child/sibling unit causes cgroup membership for a specific unit
180
Lennart Poetteringf55b9bd2014-04-25 07:16:01 +0200181* journalctl: add the ability to look for the most recent process of a binary. journalctl /usr/bin/X11 --pid=-1 or so...
182
Lennart Poetteringe107ed12014-04-23 22:41:44 +0200183* mount_cgroup_controllers(): symlinks need to get the label applied
184
Kay Sievers81429132014-06-18 03:46:44 +0200185* For timer units: add some mechanisms so that timer units that trigger immediately on boot do not have the services
186 they run added to the initial transaction and thus confuse Type=idle.
Lennart Poetteringe107ed12014-04-23 22:41:44 +0200187
Lennart Poetteringf598ac32014-06-04 18:58:05 +0200188* 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 -0700189
Lennart Poettering01083ad2014-04-01 19:13:22 +0200190* sd-event: generate a failure of a default event loop is executed out-of-thread
191
Lennart Poetteringb107b702014-03-25 00:03:23 +0100192* expose "Locked" property on logind sesison objects
193
Lennart Poetteringedb29352014-03-14 21:10:55 +0100194* add bus api to query unit file's X fields.
195
Lennart Poettering769918e2014-03-12 16:38:49 +0100196* consider adding RuntimeDirectoryUser= + RuntimeDirectoryGroup=
197
198* sd-event: define more intervals where we will shift wakeup intervals around in, 1h, 6h, 24h, ...
199
Lennart Poettering6a3f8922014-03-05 22:31:03 +0100200* gpt-auto-generator:
Lennart Poettering2a781fc2014-03-08 04:05:48 +0100201 - Support LUKS for root devices
202 - Define new partition type for encrypted swap? Support probed LUKS for encrypted swap?
Lennart Poettering6a3f8922014-03-05 22:31:03 +0100203 - Make /home automount rather than mount?
Lennart Poettering6a3f8922014-03-05 22:31:03 +0100204
Lennart Poetteringefc141b2014-03-05 02:30:47 +0100205* improve journalctl performance by loading journal files
206 lazily. Encode just enough information in the file name, so that we
Jan Engelhardtd28315e2014-05-03 19:15:23 +0200207 do not have to open it to know that it is not interesting for us, for
Lennart Poetteringefc141b2014-03-05 02:30:47 +0100208 the most common operations.
209
Lennart Poettering65026402014-02-24 17:34:37 +0100210* add generator that pulls in systemd-network from containers when
211 CAP_NET_ADMIN is set, more than the loopback device is defined, even
212 when it is otherwise off
Lennart Poetteringf8901862014-02-24 13:21:55 +0100213
Lennart Poetteringeda8f062014-02-23 03:18:46 +0100214* MessageQueueMessageSize= and RLimitFSIZE= (and suchlike) should use parse_iec_size().
215
Lennart Poetteringd4fdc202014-02-19 18:20:04 +0100216* "busctl status" works only as root on dbus1, since we cannot read
217 /proc/$PID/exe
218
Lennart Poetteringaf1082b2014-02-14 16:40:52 +0100219* implement Distribute= in socket units to allow running multiple
220 service instances processing the listening socket, and open this up
221 for ReusePort=
222
Lennart Poettering488ad3b2014-01-20 13:42:52 +0100223* socket units: support creating sockets in different namespace,
224 opening it up for JoinsNamespaceOf=. This would require to fork off
225 a tiny process that joins the namespace and creates/binds the socket
226 and passes this back to PID1 via SCM_RIGHTS. This also could be used
227 to allow Chown/chgrp on sockets without requiring NSS in PID 1.
228
Lennart Poettering47c94a92013-11-05 11:53:09 +0100229* New service property: maximum CPU and wallclock runtime for a service
230
Lennart Poettering09ecd742014-01-12 20:10:33 +0800231* introduce bus call FreezeUnit(s, b), as well as "systemctl freeze
232 $UNIT" and "systemctl thaw $UNIT" as wrappers around this. The calls
233 should SIGSTOP all unit processes in a loop until all processes of
234 it are fully stopped. This can later be used for app management by
235 desktop UIs such as gnome-shell to freeze apps that are not visible
236 on screen, not unlike how job control works on the shell
237
Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmekef417cf2014-02-13 17:10:12 -0500238* completions:
Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmekef417cf2014-02-13 17:10:12 -0500239 - manager property enumeration was broken when systemd moved to /usr/lib/
Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek3333d742014-01-08 20:42:38 -0500240
Lennart Poetteringf38afcd2013-11-28 18:42:00 +0100241* cgroups:
Lennart Poetteringf38afcd2013-11-28 18:42:00 +0100242 - implement per-slice CPUFairScheduling=1 switch
243 - handle jointly mounted controllers correctly
244 - introduce high-level settings for RT budget, swappiness
245 - how to reset dynamically changed unit cgroup attributes sanely?
246 - when reloading configuration, apply new cgroup configuration
247 - when recursively showing the cgroup hierarchy, optionally also show
248 the hierarchies of child processes
249
250* transient units:
251 - allow creating auxiliary units with the same call
252 - add field to transient units that indicate whether systemd or somebody else saves/restores its settings, for integration with libvirt
253 - ensure scope units may be started only a single time
254
Lennart Poettering47c94a92013-11-05 11:53:09 +0100255* Automatically configure swap partition to use for hibernation by looking for largest swap partition on the root disk?
256
Lennart Poettering718db962013-11-19 21:12:59 +0100257* when we detect low battery and no AC on boot, show pretty splash and refuse boot
258
Lennart Poetteringf38afcd2013-11-28 18:42:00 +0100259* machined, localed: when we try to kill an empty cgroup, generate an ESRCH error over the bus
Lennart Poettering718db962013-11-19 21:12:59 +0100260
261* libsystemd-journal, libsystemd-login, libudev: add calls to easily attach these objects to sd-event event loops
262
Lennart Poettering966204e2013-11-11 03:03:17 +0100263* be more careful what we export on the bus as (usec_t) 0 and (usec_t) -1
264
Lennart Poettering94676f32013-11-08 19:48:42 +0100265* unify dispatch table in systemctl_main() and friends
Lennart Poettering6fd4d022013-11-08 13:53:09 +0100266
Lennart Poettering41644622013-10-14 04:52:51 +0200267* 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
268
Lennart Poettering7f79cd72013-10-04 17:01:32 +0200269* After coming back from hibernation reset hibernation swap partition using the /dev/snapshot ioctl APIs
Lennart Poettering0aafd432013-09-17 10:01:08 -0500270
Jan Engelhardt19aadac2013-10-22 01:50:48 +0200271* If we try to find a unit via a dangling symlink, generate a clean
272 error. Currently, we just ignore it and read the unit from the search
Lennart Poetteringdf5f6972013-09-13 14:28:17 +0200273 path anyway.
274
Lennart Poetteringfcba5312013-09-12 18:09:00 +0200275* refuse boot if /etc/os-release is missing or /etc/machine-id cannot be set up
276
Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek8b8f2592013-12-25 22:53:09 -0500277* given that logind now lets PID 1 do all nasty work, we can
278 probably reduce the capability set it retains substantially.
David Herrmanne10e4292014-01-05 13:59:12 +0100279 (we need CAP_SYS_ADMIN for drmSetMaster(), so maybe not worth it)
Lennart Poetteringe1b7e7e2013-07-19 03:48:23 +0200280
Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek6aaa8c22013-07-19 02:45:27 -0400281* btrfs raid assembly: some .device jobs stay stuck in the queue
Lennart Poetteringc3bb87d2013-07-18 02:29:06 +0200282
Jan Engelhardtd28315e2014-05-03 19:15:23 +0200283* 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 +0200284
Lennart Poetteringbdeeb6b2013-07-10 02:01:14 +0200285* man: the documentation of Restart= currently is very misleading and suggests the tools from ExecStartPre= might get restarted.
286
287* load .d/*.conf dropins for device units
288
Lennart Poettering4e090142013-06-06 16:25:38 +0200289* allow implementation of InaccessibleDirectories=/ plus
290 ReadOnlyDirectories=... for whitelisting files for a service.
291
Tom Gundersen6bb648a2014-01-13 17:30:51 +0100292* sd-bus:
Lennart Poettering57f2a942014-11-04 17:54:40 +0100293 - kdbus: maybe add euid, egid, fsuid, fsgid, controlling tty and ppid metadata fields
294 - see if we can introduce a new sd_bus_get_owner_machine_id() call to retrieve the machine ID of the machine of the bus itself
Jan Engelhardtd28315e2014-05-03 19:15:23 +0200295 - when kdbus does not take our message without memfds, try again with memfds
Lennart Poettering7973ca12014-03-19 16:24:47 +0100296 - systemd-bus-proxyd needs to enforce good old XML policy
Lennart Poettering7973ca12014-03-19 16:24:47 +0100297 - allow updating attach flags during runtime
298 - pid1: peek into activating message when activating a service
299 - 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 +0200300 - port to sd-resolve for connecting to TCP dbus servers
Lennart Poetteringf38afcd2013-11-28 18:42:00 +0100301 - see if we can drop more message validation on the sending side
Lennart Poetteringf38afcd2013-11-28 18:42:00 +0100302 - add API to clone sd_bus_message objects
Lennart Poetteringdc17bce2014-06-06 14:51:07 +0200303 - make AddMatch calls on dbus1 transports async?
Lennart Poettering80caea62013-12-10 22:50:19 +0000304 - 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 +0100305 - longer term: priority inheritance
Lennart Poetteringdf98a872013-12-22 00:12:54 +0100306 - dbus spec updates:
307 - kdbus mapping
308 - NameLost/NameAcquired obsolete
309 - GVariant
Lennart Poettering2ecfc642014-03-10 23:17:42 +0100310 - path escaping
Lennart Poettering6a8b5fa2014-01-17 19:59:50 +0100311 - update systemd.special(7) to mention that dbus.socket is only about the compatibility socket now
Lennart Poettering69727e62014-01-28 12:33:32 +0100312 - test bloom filter generation indexes
Lennart Poetteringf38afcd2013-11-28 18:42:00 +0100313
314* sd-event
Lennart Poettering12179982013-12-13 04:03:30 +0100315 - allow multiple signal handlers per signal?
Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek0536ce52014-10-05 15:29:20 -0400316 - document chaining of signal handler for SIGCHLD and child handlers
Lennart Poetteringeb01ba52013-05-16 21:14:56 +0200317
Lennart Poettering154ff082013-05-15 22:40:36 +0200318* in the final killing spree, detect processes from the root directory, and
319 complain loudly if they have argv[0][0] == '@' set.
320 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=961044
321
Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek69af4502013-07-16 22:44:38 -0400322* investigate endianness issues of UUID vs. GUID
Lennart Poetteringe8a7a312013-04-24 17:18:01 -0300323
Lennart Poettering461bd8e2013-04-18 22:19:33 +0200324* dbus: when a unit failed to load (i.e. is in UNIT_ERROR state), we
325 should be able to safely try another attempt when the bus call LoadUnit() is invoked.
326
Lennart Poetteringab8e0742013-04-17 22:23:18 +0200327* add a pam module that passes the hdd passphrase into the PAM stack and then expires it, for usage by gdm auto-login.
328
329* add a pam module that on password changes updates any LUKS slot where the password matches
330
Lennart Poetteringb454b112013-04-17 18:48:23 +0200331* maybe add a generator that looks for "systemd.run=" on the kernel cmdline for container usercases...
332
Lennart Poettering4ff49cb2013-04-16 04:41:11 +0200333* cgtop: make cgtop useful in a container
334
Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmekfff87a32013-04-22 20:39:40 -0400335* test/:
336 - add 'set -e' to scripts in test/
337 - make stuff in test/ work with separate output dir
Lennart Poetteringb8b4d3d2013-04-09 22:20:05 +0200338
Lennart Poetteringb5c03632013-03-29 18:28:43 +0100339* seems that when we follow symlinks to units we prefer the symlink
Jan Engelhardtd28315e2014-05-03 19:15:23 +0200340 destination path over /etc and /usr. We should not do that. Instead
Lennart Poetteringb5c03632013-03-29 18:28:43 +0100341 /etc should always override /run+/usr and also any symlink
342 destination.
343
Lennart Poetteringeece8c62013-03-25 18:17:15 +0100344* when isolating, try to figure out a way how we implicitly can order
345 all units we stop before the isolating unit...
346
Lennart Poettering356ce992013-03-22 23:28:36 +0100347* teach ConditionKernelCommandLine= globs or regexes (in order to match foobar={no,0,off})
348
Lennart Poettering09f727e2013-03-20 22:57:55 +0100349* after all byte-wise realloc() is slow, even on glibc, so i guess we
350 need manual exponential loops after all
351
Lennart Poetteringc1446922014-03-21 03:27:17 +0100352* BootLoaderSpec: Clarify that the kernel has to be in $BOOT. Clarify
353 that the boot loader should be installed to the ESP. Define a way
354 how an installer can figure out whether a BLS compliant boot loader
355 is installed.
Lennart Poettering795607b2013-03-11 17:49:33 +0100356
Lennart Poettering0be83422013-03-07 13:39:57 +0100357* think about requeuing jobs when daemon-reload is issued? usecase:
358 the initrd issues a reload after fstab from the host is accessible
359 and we might want to requeue the mounts local-fs acquired through
360 that automatically.
361
Lennart Poetteringe5ec62c2013-04-01 23:04:11 +0200362* systemd-inhibit: make taking delay locks useful: support sending SIGINT or SIGTERM on PrepareForSleep()
Lennart Poettering54c31a72013-02-28 19:55:48 +0100363
Lennart Poettering826872b2013-02-27 15:00:38 +0100364* journal-or-kmsg is currently broken? See reverted commit 4a01181e460686d8b4a543b1dfa7f77c9e3c5ab8.
365
Jan Engelhardtd28315e2014-05-03 19:15:23 +0200366* 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 +0100367
Lennart Poettering3679d112013-02-27 02:24:10 +0100368* shutdown logging: store to EFI var, and store to USB stick?
369
Lennart Poettering3679d112013-02-27 02:24:10 +0100370* write UI tool that pops up emergency messages from the journal as notification
371
372* think about window-manager-run-as-user-service problem: exit 0 → activate shutdown.target; exit != 0 → restart service
373
Lennart Poettering356ce992013-03-22 23:28:36 +0100374* merge unit_kill_common() and unit_kill_context()
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100375
Lennart Poettering81d112a2013-01-29 00:36:23 +0100376* introduce ExecCondition= in services
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100377
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100378* EFI:
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100379 - honor language efi variables for default language selection (if there are any?)
380 - honor timezone efi variables for default timezone selection (if there are any?)
Kay Sievers466784c2013-07-18 23:07:37 +0200381 - 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 +0100382
Kay Sieversc0fe5db2013-01-27 22:59:01 +0100383* maybe do not install getty@tty1.service symlink in /etc but in /usr?
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100384
385* re-enable "make check" for gtk-doc (broken for unknown reason)
386
387* fstab: add new mount option x-systemd-after=/foobar/waldo to allow manual dependencies to other mount points
388 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=812826
389
390* print a nicer explanation if people use variable/specifier expansion in ExecStart= for the first word
391
Lennart Poettering205b7fa2013-01-07 22:15:48 +0100392* mount: turn dependency information from /proc/self/mountinfo into dependency information between systemd units.
393
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100394* logind:
395 - logind: optionally, ignore idle-hint logic for autosuspend, block suspend as long as a session is around
396 - When we update the kernel all kind of hibernation should be prohibited until shutdown/reboot
397 - logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
398 - Add pretty name for seats in logind
399 - logind: allow showing logout dialog from system?
Lennart Poetteringe5ec62c2013-04-01 23:04:11 +0200400 - we should probably handle SIGTERM/SIGINT to not leave dot files around, just in case
Lennart Poetteringf38afcd2013-11-28 18:42:00 +0100401 - session scopes/user unit: add RequiresMountsFor for the home directory of the user
402 - add Suspend() bus calls which take timestamps to fix double suspend issues when somebody hits suspend and closes laptop quickly.
403 - if pam_systemd is invoked by su from a process that is outside of a
404 any session we should probably just become a NOP, since that's
405 usually not a real user session but just some system code that just
406 needs setuid().
Lennart Poettering95b4be12012-12-23 22:38:21 +0100407
Lennart Poettering499519c2012-12-19 20:50:42 +0100408* exec: when deinitializating a tty device fix the perms and group, too, not only when initializing. Set access mode/gid to 0620/tty.
409
Lennart Poettering490b7e42012-12-19 15:27:27 +0100410* service: watchdog logic: for testing purposes allow ping, but do not require pong
411
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100412* journal:
Lennart Poettering57f2a942014-11-04 17:54:40 +0100413 - consider introducing implicit _TTY= + _PPID= + _EUID= + _EGID= + _FSUID= + _FSGID= fields
Kay Sieversc06bf412013-02-27 13:07:09 +0100414 - import and delete pstore filesystem content at startup
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100415 - journald: also get thread ID from client, plus thread name
416 - journal: when waiting for journal additions in the client always sleep at least 1s or so, in order to minimize wakeups
417 - add API to close/reopen/get fd for journal client fd in libsystemd-journal.
Jan Engelhardtd28315e2014-05-03 19:15:23 +0200418 - fallback to /dev/log based logging in libsystemd-journal, if we cannot log natively?
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100419 - declare the local journal protocol stable in the wiki interface chart
420 - journal: reuse XZ context
421 - sd-journal: speed up sd_journal_get_data() with transparent hash table in bg
422 - journald: when dropping msgs due to ratelimit make sure to write
423 "dropped %u messages" not only when we are about to print the next
424 message that works, but alraedy after a short tiemout
425 - check if we can make journalctl by default use --follow mode inside of less if called without args?
426 - maybe add API to send pairs of iovecs via sd_journal_send
427 - journal: when writing journal auto-rotate if time jumps backwards
Lennart Poetteringf47ec8e2013-03-05 18:59:14 +0100428 - 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 +0100429 - journactl: support negative filtering, i.e. FOOBAR!="waldo",
430 and !FOOBAR for events without FOOBAR.
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100431 - 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 +0100432 - 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.
433 - journal: find a way to allow dropping history early, based on priority, other rules
434 - journal: When used on NFS, check payload hashes
Lennart Poetteringf47ec8e2013-03-05 18:59:14 +0100435 - journal live copy, based on libneon (client) and libmicrohttpd (server)
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100436 - journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
437 - refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
438 - journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
439 - journal: deal nicely with byte-by-byte copied files, especially regards header
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100440 - 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 -0700441 - Replace utmp, wtmp, btmp, and lastlog completely with journal
Lennart Poetteringf38afcd2013-11-28 18:42:00 +0100442 - journalctl: instead --after-cursor= maybe have a --cursor=XYZ+1 syntax?
Lennart Poetteringf38afcd2013-11-28 18:42:00 +0100443 - when a kernel driver logs in a tight loop, we should ratelimit that too.
444 - journald: optionally, log debug messages to /run but everything else to /var
445 - journald: when we drop syslog messages because the syslog socket is
446 full, make sure to write how many messages are lost as first thing
447 to syslog when it works again.
448 - journald: make sure ratelimit is actually really per-service with the new cgroup changes
449 - change systemd-journal-flush into a service that stays around during
450 boot, and causes the journal to be moved back to /run on shutdown,
Jan Engelhardtd28315e2014-05-03 19:15:23 +0200451 so that we do not keep /var busy. This needs to happen synchronously,
Lennart Poetteringf38afcd2013-11-28 18:42:00 +0100452 hence doing this via signals is not going to work.
Lennart Poettering59659842012-11-22 20:16:15 +0100453
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100454* document:
Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek8b8f2592013-12-25 22:53:09 -0500455 - document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fields in
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100456 [Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
457 - 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 +0100458 - document the exit codes when services fail before they are exec()ed
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100459 - document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
Lennart Poetteringeb124a92013-02-09 01:17:36 +0100460 - document in wiki how to map ical recurrence events to systemd timer unit calendar specifications
Lennart Poetteringf38afcd2013-11-28 18:42:00 +0100461 - add a man page containing packaging guidelines and recommending usage of things like Documentation=, PrivateTmp=, PrivateNetwork= and ReadOnlyDirectories=/etc /usr.
462 - document systemd-journal-flush.service properly
Lennart Poetteringf38afcd2013-11-28 18:42:00 +0100463 - documentation: recommend to connect the timer units of a service to the service via Also= in [Install]
464 - man: document the very specific env the shutdown drop-in tools live in
465 - man: extend runlevel(8) to mention that runlevels suck, and are dead. Maybe add runlevel(7) with a note about that too
466 - man: add more examples to man pages
467 - 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 +0100468
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100469* systemctl:
470 - systemctl list-jobs - show dependencies
471 - add systemctl switch to dump transaction without executing it
472 - Add a verbose mode to "systemctl start" and friends that explains what is being done or not done
473 - "systemctl disable" on a static unit prints no message and does
474 nothing. "systemctl enable" does nothing, and gives a bad message
475 about it. Should fix both to print nice actionable messages.
476 - print nice message from systemctl --failed if there are no entries shown, and hook that into ExecStartPre of rescue.service/emergency.service
477 - add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
Jan Engelhardtd28315e2014-05-03 19:15:23 +0200478 - 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 +0100479 - systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
480 - support "systemctl stop foobar@.service" to stop all units matching a certain template
481 - Something is wrong with symlink handling of "autovt@.service" in "systemctl list-unit-files"
Lennart Poetteringf38afcd2013-11-28 18:42:00 +0100482 - better error message if you run systemctl without systemd running
483 - systemctl status output should should include list of triggering units and their status
Lennart Poetteringf38afcd2013-11-28 18:42:00 +0100484
485* unit install:
486 - "systemctl mask" should find all names by which a unit is accessible
487 (i.e. by scanning for symlinks to it) and link them all to /dev/null
Lennart Poetteringf38afcd2013-11-28 18:42:00 +0100488 - systemctl list-unit-files should list generated files (and probably with a new state "generated" for them, or so)

Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100490* timer units:
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100491 - timer units should get the ability to trigger when:
492 o CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (TFD_TIMER_CANCEL_ON_SET)
493 o DST changes
Lennart Poetteringeb124a92013-02-09 01:17:36 +0100494 - Support 2012-02~4 as syntax for specifying the fourth to last day of the month.
Lennart Poetteringf38afcd2013-11-28 18:42:00 +0100495 - calendarspec: support value ranges with ".." notation. Example: 2013-4..8-1
Jan Engelhardtd28315e2014-05-03 19:15:23 +0200496 - 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 +0100497 - Modulate timer frequency based on battery state
Kay Sieversd2e83c22012-11-04 15:47:08 +0100498
Lennart Poetteringa19554e2012-10-24 01:05:40 +0200499* add libsystemd-password or so to query passwords during boot using the password agent logic
500
Lennart Poettering1cb88f22012-10-23 17:13:01 +0200501* 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().
502
503* fedup: add --unit to systemctl switch-root somehow
Jan Engelhardtd28315e2014-05-03 19:15:23 +0200504* fedup: do not delete initrd on switch-root
Lennart Poettering1cb88f22012-10-23 17:13:01 +0200505* fedup: generator
Lennart Poettering603cd8f2012-10-23 01:53:23 +0200506

508
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100509* 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 -0400510
Kay Sievers9ee58bd2012-10-02 18:18:41 +0200511* make repeated alt-ctrl-del presses printing a dump, or even force a reboot without
512 waiting for the timeout
Lennart Poetteringdcfc4b22012-08-03 21:49:06 +0200513
Lennart Poettering71ef24d2012-10-02 13:11:26 -0400514* hostnamed: before returning information from /etc/machine-info.conf check the modification data and reread. Similar for localed, ...
515
Jan Engelhardtd28315e2014-05-03 19:15:23 +0200516* 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 +0200517
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100518* nspawn:
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100519 - bind mount read-only the cgroup tree higher than nspawn
Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek9cb74bc2013-11-07 23:57:19 -0500520 - refuses to boot containers without /etc/machine-id (OK?), and with empty /etc/machine-id (not OK).
Lennart Poetteringa56b63f2013-12-13 16:01:54 +0100521 - support taking a btrfs snapshot at startup and dropping it afterwards
Lennart Poettering1920e372012-09-24 22:46:22 +0200522
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100523* cryptsetup:

Lennart Poetteringf8019682012-09-21 20:52:23 +0200528
Lennart Poettering424a19f2012-09-14 20:02:52 +0200529* hw watchdog: optionally try to use the preset watchdog timeout instead of always overriding it
Lennart Poettering41f91722012-09-18 11:27:56 +0200530 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54712
Lennart Poettering424a19f2012-09-14 20:02:52 +0200531
532* after deserializing sockets in socket.c we should reapply sockopts and things

541
Lennart Poettering68f16002012-08-13 15:39:25 +0200542* MountFlags=shared acts as MountFlags=slave right now.
543
544* drop PID 1 reloading, only do reexecing (difficult: Reload()
545 currently is properly synchronous, Reexec() is weird, because we
Jan Engelhardtd28315e2014-05-03 19:15:23 +0200546 cannot delay the response properly until we are back, so instead of
Lennart Poettering68f16002012-08-13 15:39:25 +0200547 being properly synchronous we just keep open the fd and close it
Jan Engelhardtd28315e2014-05-03 19:15:23 +0200548 when done. That means clients do not get a successful method reply,
Lennart Poettering68f16002012-08-13 15:39:25 +0200549 but much rather a disconnect on success.
Lennart Poettering0790b9f2012-08-09 12:52:49 +0200550
Lennart Poetteringfd4d89b2012-08-08 18:10:35 +0200551* properly handle loop back mounts via fstab, especially regards to fsck/passno
552
Lennart Poettering47ae7202012-07-27 12:21:39 +0200553* initialize the hostname from the fs label of /, if /etc/hostname does not exist?
554

Lennart Poettering8351cea2012-07-17 04:17:53 +0200556
Lennart Poettering99469962012-07-03 16:09:36 +0200557* load-fragment: when loading a unit file via a chain of symlinks
Jan Engelhardtd28315e2014-05-03 19:15:23 +0200558 verify that it is not masked via any of the names traversed.

565
Kay Sieversd3a3f222013-01-16 05:01:04 +0100566* automount: implement expire:
567 - set superblock timeout AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_TIMEOUT_CMD
568 - periodically run AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_EXPIRE_CMD
569 - every timeout/4 (original autofs logic)
570 - blocking, needs a thread
571 - run until -EAGAIN
572 - receive expire packet on pipe if kernel tells the timeout is over
573 - call umount
574 - answer expire packet on pipe with AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_{READY,FAIL}_CMD
575 - AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_EXPIRE_CMD returns
Lennart Poettering465349c2012-05-07 17:16:50 +0200576
Kay Sieverse01a15b2012-04-26 02:03:31 +0200577* ExecOnFailure=/usr/bin/foo

Lennart Poettering169c4f62012-03-26 20:58:47 +0200585* when a service has the same env var set twice we actually store it twice and return that in systemctl show -p... We should only show the last setting
586

588

590
Lennart Poetteringd0e5a332012-02-20 19:56:14 +0100591* add option to sockets to avoid activation. Instead just drop packets/connections, see http://cyberelk.net/tim/2012/02/15/portreserve-systemd-solution/

605
Lennart Poetteringf38afcd2013-11-28 18:42:00 +0100606* tmpfiles:

628 when we start a service in order to avoid confusion when a user
629 assumes starting a service is enough to make it accessible
630
Lennart Poettering88a07672011-05-12 16:14:44 +0200631* Make it possible to set the keymap independently from the font on

714 - add functions to set previously stored IPv6 addresses on startup and get
715 them at shutdown; store them in client->ia_na
716 - write more test cases
717 - implement and do duplicate address detection, see rfc 4862, 5.4.
718 - implement reconfigure support, see 5.3., 15.11. and 22.20.
719 - implement information request, see 1.2. and 18.1.5.

Patrik Flykt37d8b532014-06-24 16:24:50 +0300721 - implement dhcpv6 authentication
722 - investigate the usefulness of Confirm messages; i.e. are there any
723 situations where the link changes without any loss in carrier detection
724 or interface down
725 - some servers don't do rapid commit without a filled in IA_NA, verify
726 this behavior
