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

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

957: <p>
958: [Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs
959: server.]
960: <p>
961: Note that most ports are available as packages on our mirrors. Updated
962: ports for the 5.8 release will be made available if problems arise.
963: <p>
964: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
965: would like to know more, the mailing list
