Will this HTTPort soft let me commit into OpenBeOS CVS from office
computer?
I mean, using SSH and CVS over this HTTP tuneling to
cvs.sourceforge.net?

Next step: install BeOS into my office computer, and try to hide this
fact
to the sysadmin... :-)

As we don't base the new network stack code on any previous BeOS net
stuffs,
it should works same in vanilla BeOS (R5.0.x) and BONified BeOS
systems.
Compilation, however, may have some difference, because of differents
public include files/path...
The only problem I could see is the select() support offer by the
kernel.
Manuel Jesus Petit de Gabriel, former BeOS kernel engineer tell me
that,
if he recall correctly, the vfs select implementation in vanilla r5 has
some memory
corruptions bugs, which were fixed for BONE. It could have impact the
stability
of our select() support for sockets with the vaniall kernel.
We will see...
Some here code under R5.0.x (David, I guess), others have BONE (you, I
guess! ;-) ),
some have both (me). Same things for SMP hardware machines.
