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