735: <ul><pre>
736: # <strong>mkdir -p /usr/src</strong>

741: sys.tar.gz contains a source archive starting at /usr/src/sys.
742: This file contains all the kernel sources you need to rebuild kernels.
743: To extract:
744: <p>
745: <ul><pre>
746: # <strong>mkdir -p /usr/src/sys</strong>

751: Both of these trees are a regular CVS checkout. Using these trees it
752: is possible to get a head-start on using the anoncvs servers as
753: described <a href="anoncvs.html">here</a>.
754: Using these files
755: results in a much faster initial CVS update than you could expect from

774: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
775: OpenBSD ports system.
776: <p>
777: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS (see the manpage for
778: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=cvs&sektion=1&arch=i386">
779: cvs(1)</a> if
780: you aren't familiar with CVS) checkout of our ports. As with our complete
781: source tree, our ports tree is available via
782: <a href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS</a>.
783: So, in order to keep up to date with the <i>-stable</i> branch, you must make
784: the <i>ports/</i> tree available on a read-write medium and update the tree
785: with a command like:
786: <p>
787: <ul><pre>
788: # <strong>cd /usr/ports</strong>
789: # <strong>cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_5_9</strong>
790: </pre></ul>
791: <p>
792: [Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs
793: server.]
794: <p>
795: Note that most ports are available as packages on our mirrors. Updated
796: ports for the 5.9 release will be made available if problems arise.
797: <p>
798: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
799: would like to know more, the mailing list
800: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
