 Posted: Thu May 21, 2020 4:47 pm Post subject: Where to find ypbind package |
 |
|
We have a large number of legacy systems that are still using NIS. I'm building a new Gentoo image to be used on this network, but it seems yp-bind has been removed from the current Gentoo. There are a few other post on this forum talking about the issue ( https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-1075420.html ) but at this point, I don't know how to even get the old package onto my new system. Is that possible? I would like to at least try to get it working before I start pushing the decision makers here are work to finally abandon NIS. ( they are smart people and have their reasons for sticking with NIS to this point )
Is there a way to manually download the last official Gentoo package for yp-bind. If not, I may have to try building it myself ( https://github.com/thkukuk/ypbind-mt/ )
Thanks |

From what I can tell, it looks like the sources are no longer available. ( http://www.linux-nis.org/nis/ypbind-mt/index.html ) Is there somewhere else I can try?
Also, I'm fairly new to Gentoo. Is there a method to finding overlays, other than Google? |

Please do the following
| Code: |
emerge -av layman
mkdir /etc/portage/repos.conf
layman-updater -R
layman -a argent-main
layman -S
emerge -av net-nds/ypbind
|
You will be able to install it.

If you choose to install an overlay, you may want to skip layman in favor of eselect which you probably have installed.
| eselect/repository wrote: | eselect-repository is an eselect module for manipulating /etc/portage/repos.conf entries.
This utility supersedes layman for listing, configuring, and handling synchronization of alternate repositories except for version control systems which the package manager does not natively sync (eg. mercurial, bazaar, and g-sorcery in Portage). |
Both eselect and layman allow you to list repositories, which are also listed at Gentoo repositories.
But I'm not familiar with a way to easily identify what a repository provides. | Code: | $ eselect repository list |grep argent-main
[31] argent-main (https://gitlab.com/argent/argent-main)
$ layman -L |grep argent-main
* argent-main [Git ] (https://gitlab.com/argent/argent-...)
$ layman -i argent-main
* argent-main
