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

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

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

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