898: described <a href="anoncvs.html">here</a>.

918: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
919: OpenBSD ports system.
920: <p>
921: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS (see the manpage for
1.91 ! bentley 922: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/cvs.1">cvs(1)</a> if
1.1 deraadt 923: you aren't familiar with CVS) checkout of our ports. As with our complete
924: source tree, our ports tree is available via
925: <a href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS</a>.
1.85 tj 926: So, in order to keep up to date with the -stable branch, you must make
1.1 deraadt 927: the <i>ports/</i> tree available on a read-write medium and update the tree
928: with a command like:
1.89 bentley 929: <blockquote><pre>
1.90 deraadt 930: # <kbd>cd /usr/ports</kbd>
931: # <kbd>cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_5_8</kbd>
1.89 bentley 932: </pre></blockquote>
1.1 deraadt 933: <p>
934: [Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs
935: server.]
936: <p>
937: Note that most ports are available as packages on our mirrors. Updated
938: ports for the 5.8 release will be made available if problems arise.
939: <p>
940: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
941: would like to know more, the mailing list
942: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
