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

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

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