Today, I was installing my new NIS client but failed because there is no ypbind-mt in [extra] repo anymore.
I just searched every archlinux mailing lists and this forum,
but I didn't get anything related.
Therefore, I want to ask why ypserv and ypbind were moved to AUR?
Thanks

That is so strange! I don't know why it was removed.
My guess is that it has to do with the technology. Isn't NIS (YP) considered old technology and to be very outdated? Is there a reason to use NIS instead of LDAP?
...anyway, sorry, I know that's not the purpose of this thread...

I am trying to convert NIS to LDAP in my workplace.
It is really hard, because many of our own scripts depend on NIS.
Therefore, before changing to LDAP, I still needs NIS. :-(

They were unmaintained, and no-one wanted to adopt them.
