SUN RPC removal from glibc

[Andreas Schneider]

Hello,

glibc deprecated all the Sun RPC stuff since quite some time. This is going to 
be removed in Fedora 28 from glibc. SUSE will do the same, I don't know about 
other distributions.

You can find some details here:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/SunRPCRemoval

I'm working on checking and using libtirpc for our build. Also rpcgen will be 
removed from glibc. There will be a new package providing it. Thorsten Kukkuk 
from SUSE created a project for this: https://github.com/thkukuk/rpcsvc-proto

libnsl is the package which will provide NIS. Not sure if this will work just 
fine as rpc/yp_prot.h is going to be removed from glibc too.

Does someone know the NIS stuff? Is that still in use?



	Andreas
