626: source tree, our ports tree is available via anoncvs. So, in
627: order to keep current with it, you must make the <i>ports/</i> tree
628: available on a read-write medium and update the tree with a command
629: like:
630: <p>

632: # <strong>cd [portsdir]/; cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_5_3</strong>

635: [Of course, you must replace the local directory and server name here
636: with the location of your ports collection and a nearby anoncvs

639: Note that most ports are available as packages through FTP. Updated
