616: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
617: OpenBSD ports system.
618: <p>
619: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS (see the manpage for
620: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=cvs&sektion=1&arch=i386">
621: cvs(1)</a> if
622: you aren't familiar with CVS) checkout of our ports. As with our complete
623: source tree, our ports tree is available via
624: <a href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS</a>.
625: So, in order to keep up to date with the <i>-stable</i> branch, you must make
626: the <i>ports/</i> tree available on a read-write medium and update the tree
627: with a command like:
628: <p>
629: <ul><pre>
630: # <strong>cd /usr/ports</strong>
1.2 deraadt 631: # <strong>cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_5_8</strong>
1.1 deraadt 632: </pre></ul>
633: <p>
634: [Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs
635: server.]
636: <p>
637: Note that most ports are available as packages on our mirrors. Updated
638: ports for the 5.8 release will be made available if problems arise.
639: <p>
640: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
641: would like to know more, the mailing list
642: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
