169: be re-enabled using the instructions at

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

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

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