530: <ul><pre>
531: # <strong>mkdir -p /usr/src</strong>

536: sys.tar.gz contains a source archive starting at /usr/src/sys.
537: This file contains all the kernel sources you need to rebuild kernels.
538: To extract:
539: <p>
540: <ul><pre>

547: is possible to get a head-start on using the anoncvs servers as
548: described <a href="anoncvs.html">here</a>.

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