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

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