498: src.tar.gz contains a source archive starting at /usr/src. This file
499: contains everything you need except for the kernel sources, which are
500: in a separate archive. To extract:
501: <p>
502: <ul><pre>
503: # <strong>mkdir -p /usr/src</strong>
504: # <strong>cd /usr/src</strong>
505: # <strong>tar xvfz /tmp/src.tar.gz</strong>
506: </pre></ul>
507: <p>
508: sys.tar.gz contains a source archive starting at /usr/src/sys.
509: This file contains all the kernel sources you need to rebuild kernels.
510: To extract:
511: <p>
512: <ul><pre>
513: # <strong>mkdir -p /usr/src/sys</strong>
514: # <strong>cd /usr/src</strong>
515: # <strong>tar xvfz /tmp/sys.tar.gz</strong>

518: Both of these trees are a regular CVS checkout. Using these trees it
519: is possible to get a head-start on using the anoncvs servers as
520: described <a href="anoncvs.html">here</a>.
521: Using these files
522: results in a much faster initial CVS update than you could expect from
523: a fresh checkout of the full OpenBSD source tree.

539: if you know nothing about ports
540: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
541: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
542: OpenBSD ports system.
543: <p>
544: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS (see the manpage for
545: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=cvs&sektion=1&arch=i386">
546: cvs(1)</a> if
547: you aren't familiar with CVS) checkout of our ports. As with our complete
548: source tree, our ports tree is available via
549: <a href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS</a>.
550: So, in order to keep up to date with the <i>-stable</i> branch, you must make
551: the <i>ports/</i> tree available on a read-write medium and update the tree
552: with a command like:
553: <p>
554: <ul><pre>
555: # <strong>cd /usr/ports</strong>
556: # <strong>cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_5_9</strong>
557: </pre></ul>
558: <p>
559: [Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs
560: server.]
561: <p>
562: Note that most ports are available as packages on our mirrors. Updated
563: ports for the 5.9 release will be made available if problems arise.
564: <p>
565: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
566: would like to know more, the mailing list
567: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
