As I just ordered my Atom 330 motherboard on which Haiku will live, I just
started thinking about the development road ahead of me, and realized that I
may need to access certain repositories under Linux in order to get the
sources for some libraries because I don't think that git has been ported to
BeOS/Haiku at this point. (I hopefully am wrong about that.)



Thanks,

There's a Haiku port for just about every type of repository that you
would want to use, see:
http://ports.haiku-files.org/wiki/dev-util (some more complete than others)
If there's one you need that's not on that list just let us know and
we'll look into it.  If ou are looking to port things over to Haiku,
you're more than welcome to sign up on the haikuports mailing list(s)
and discuss them in more detail.  If you find you've like to post
patches there we can set you up for that as well.

At the moment, I'm mainly thinking about porting V8, the Javascript engine in Google's Chrome, if it hasn't already been done. As I'm looking to resume work on Themis, I think that having a newer more optimized Javascript engine in it would be a good thing. Spidermonkey (if that is the name of the Mozilla library like I think it is) was scary and under documented when I was tinkering with it years ago, and I fear to go down that path again. I'd rather try porting V8 into a developer usable library separate from Themis, then link against it. This is all hypothetical until I get my Atom up and running any ways though.
