630: <p>
631: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS (see the manpage for
632: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=cvs&sektion=1&arch=i386">

635: source tree, our ports tree is available via
636: <a href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS</a>.
637: So, in order to keep up to date with the <i>-stable</i> branch, you must make
638: the <i>ports/</i> tree available on a read-write medium and update the tree
639: with a command like:
640: <p>
641: <ul><pre>
642: # <strong>cd /usr/ports</strong>
1.2 deraadt 643: # <strong>cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_5_8</strong>
1.1 deraadt 644: </pre></ul>
645: <p>
646: [Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs
647: server.]
648: <p>
649: Note that most ports are available as packages on our mirrors. Updated
650: ports for the 5.8 release will be made available if problems arise.
651: <p>
652: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
653: would like to know more, the mailing list
654: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
