752: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS (see the manpage for
753: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=cvs&sektion=1&arch=i386">
754: cvs(1)</a> if
755: you aren't familiar with CVS) checkout of our ports. As with our complete
756: source tree, our ports tree is available via
757: <a href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS</a>.
758: So, in order to keep up to date with the <i>-stable</i> branch, you must make
759: the <i>ports/</i> tree available on a read-write medium and update the tree
760: with a command like:
761: <p>
762: <ul><pre>
763: # <strong>cd /usr/ports</strong>
1.2 deraadt 764: # <strong>cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_5_8</strong>
1.1 deraadt 765: </pre></ul>
766: <p>
767: [Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs
768: server.]
769: <p>
770: Note that most ports are available as packages on our mirrors. Updated
771: ports for the 5.8 release will be made available if problems arise.
772: <p>
773: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
774: would like to know more, the mailing list
775: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
