489: src.tar.gz contains a source archive starting at /usr/src. This file
490: contains everything you need except for the kernel sources, which are
491: in a separate archive. To extract:
492: <p>
493: <ul><pre>
494: # <strong>mkdir -p /usr/src</strong>
495: # <strong>cd /usr/src</strong>
496: # <strong>tar xvfz /tmp/src.tar.gz</strong>
497: </pre></ul>
498: <p>
499: sys.tar.gz contains a source archive starting at /usr/src/sys.
500: This file contains all the kernel sources you need to rebuild kernels.
501: To extract:
502: <p>
503: <ul><pre>
504: # <strong>mkdir -p /usr/src/sys</strong>
505: # <strong>cd /usr/src</strong>
506: # <strong>tar xvfz /tmp/sys.tar.gz</strong>
507: </pre></ul>
508: <p>
509: Both of these trees are a regular CVS checkout. Using these trees it
510: is possible to get a head-start on using the anoncvs servers as
511: described <a href="anoncvs.html">here</a>.
512: Using these files
513: results in a much faster initial CVS update than you could expect from
514: a fresh checkout of the full OpenBSD source tree.

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