! 587: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
! 588: OpenBSD ports system.
! 589: <p>
! 590: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS (see the manpage for
! 591: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=cvs&sektion=1&arch=i386">
! 592: cvs(1)</a> if
! 593: you aren't familiar with CVS) checkout of our ports. As with our complete
! 594: source tree, our ports tree is available via
! 595: <a href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS</a>.
! 596: So, in order to keep up to date with the <i>-stable</i> branch, you must make
! 597: the <i>ports/</i> tree available on a read-write medium and update the tree
! 598: with a command like:
! 599: <p>
! 600: <ul><pre>
! 601: # <strong>cd /usr/ports</strong>
! 602: # <strong>cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_5_9</strong>
! 603: </pre></ul>
! 604: <p>
! 605: [Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs
! 606: server.]
! 607: <p>
! 608: Note that most ports are available as packages on our mirrors. Updated
! 609: ports for the 5.9 release will be made available if problems arise.
! 610: <p>
! 611: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
! 612: would like to know more, the mailing list
! 613: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
