consider the rpcsvc-proto project developed by Thorsten Kukuk (SUSE).
+* The NIS(+) name service modules, libnss_nis, libnss_nisplus, and
+ libnss_compat, are deprecated, and will not be built or installed by
+ default. Replacement implementations based on TIRPC, which
+ additionally support IPv6, are available from
+ <https://github.com/thkukuk/libnss_{compat,nis,nisplus}>.
+
+* The NIS(+) support library, libnsl, is deprecated. By default, a
+ compatibility shared library will be built and installed, but not
+ headers or development libraries.
+
+ Only a few NIS-related programs require this library.
+ A replacement implementation based on TIRPC is available from
+ <https://github.com/thkukuk/libnsl>. Like the replacement NIS(+)
+ name service modules, the replacement supports IPv6, and it can be
+ coinstalled with the compatibility shared library from glibc.
+
+* New configure option --enable-obsolete-nsl will cause libnsl's
+ headers, and the NIS(+) name service modules, to be built and
+ installed. This option may be removed in a future release.
