I am aware that there is a feature freeze for the 1.0 release.
However, I noticed that the NIS/YP suite of programs (yp-tools,
ypbind-mt and ypserv) is several versions out of date, and I am
wondering whether this should not be corrected before the 1.0 release.  
I just submitted updated ebuilds for yp-tools and  ypbind-mt to
bugs.gentoo.org since these were trivial to write. Still, I wouldn't
mind if someone with experience in ebuilds takes a look  at "bugs" 1144
and 1146.

It am happy to build a ypserv package over the next days as well, which
in itself is also not difficult.  However, I could neither get
the existing ypserv ebuild nor the latest ypserver package built from
source without some tweaking to do exactly what I want for my
machines here; thus any ypserv package/ebuild I could submit would
almost certainly not be usable out of the box. I guess one 
probably should have the ebuild print a warning along the lines RTFM :-)

Comments welcome (any NIS/YP experts out there?)
