! Certainly, the OpenBSD ports system is not complete. This is because ! the full integration of ports into the OpenBSD environment is still a ! young project as of this release. We believe the ports that are ! provided here are stable, but it is most important to realize that ! ports will continue to grow a great deal in functionality in the ! future.
! As we said, ports will be growing a lot in the future. The ports/ ! directory represents a CVS (see the manpage for cvs(1) if you aren't ! familiar with CVS) checkout of our ports. As with our complete source ! tree, our ports tree is available via anoncvs. So, in order to keep current with it, you must make the ports/ tree available on a read-write medium and update the tree with a command like:
! # cd [portsdir]/; cvs -d anoncvsserver.openbsd.org:/cvs update -PAd
[Of course, you must replace the local directory and server name here with the location of your ports collection and a nearby anoncvs server.]
! Again, it is important to see the webpage for specific instructions as ! this is a new service which hasn't yet been ironed out ! completely.
! Finally, despite ports' youth, help is never far. If you're ! interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just would like to know more, the mailing list ports@openbsd.org is a good place to know.

! Certainly, the OpenBSD ports system is not complete. It is doubtful it ! will ever be. However, it is growing very fast and getting more stable. ! Almost all ports provided with this release should build without problems ! on most architectures (over 1200 packages build on i386, for instance).
! The ports/ directory represents a CVS (see the manpage for cvs(1) if ! you aren't familiar with CVS) checkout of our ports. As with our complete ! source tree, our ports tree is available via anoncvs. So, in order to keep current with it, you must make the ports/ tree available on a read-write medium and update the tree with a command like:
! # cd [portsdir]/; cvs -d anoncvsserver.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_2_9
[Of course, you must replace the local directory and server name here with the location of your ports collection and a nearby anoncvs server.]
! Note that most ports are available as packages through ftp. Updated ! packages for the 2.9 release will be made available if problems arise.
! If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just would like to know more, the mailing list ports@openbsd.org is a good place to know.
