725: <p>
726: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS (see the manpage for

730: source tree, our ports tree is available via
731: <a href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS</a>.
732: So, in order to keep up to date with the <i>-stable</i> branch, you must make
733: the <i>ports/</i> tree available on a read-write medium and update the tree
734: with a command like:

737: # <strong>cd /usr/ports</strong>

740: <p>
741: [Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs
742: server.]
743: <p>
744: Note that most ports are available as packages on our mirrors. Updated
745: ports for the 5.8 release will be made available if problems arise.
746: <p>
747: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
748: would like to know more, the mailing list
