Ok, the third time on this list:

libnsl replacing libnsl from glibc/nis:
git: https://github.com/thkukuk/libnsl
tar archives: http://www.linux-nis.org/download/libnsl/

libnss_compat replacing glibc/nis/nss_compat. There are no changes
or functional differences, it's only standalone:
git: https://github.com/thkukuk/libnss_compat
tar archives: http://www.linux-nis.org/download/libnss_compat/

libnss_nis replacing glibc/nis/nss_nis. This version is now
using the new NIS protocol if compiled and linked against
above libnsl and libtirpc:
git: https://github.com/thkukuk/libnss_nis
tar archives: http://www.linux-nis.org/download/libnss_nis/

libnss_nisplus replacing glibc/nis/nss_nisplus. This required
much more changes than for the rest and I thought. It should
work, but I couldn't test it against a NIS+ server.
git: https://github.com/thkukuk/libnss_nisplus
tar archives: http://www.linux-nis.org/download/libnss_nisplus/


Additional, and new:
rpcsvc-proto containing the *.x header files from glibc
not part of tirpc:
git: https://github.com/thkukuk/rpcsvc-proto
