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

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

! 536: Go read the <a href="faq/ports/index.html">ports</a> page
! 537: if you know nothing about ports
! 538: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
! 539: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
! 540: OpenBSD ports system.
! 541: <p>
! 542: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS (see the manpage for
! 543: <a href="http://man.openbsd.org/?query=cvs">
! 544: cvs(1)</a> if
! 545: you aren't familiar with CVS) checkout of our ports. As with our complete
! 546: source tree, our ports tree is available via
! 547: <a href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS</a>.
! 548: So, in order to keep up to date with the <i>-stable</i> branch, you must make
! 549: the <i>ports/</i> tree available on a read-write medium and update the tree
! 550: with a command like:
! 551:
! 552: <blockquote><pre>
! 553: # <b>cd /usr/ports</b>
! 554: # <b>cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_6_0</b>
! 555: </pre></blockquote>
! 556:
! 557: [Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs
! 558: server.]
! 559: <p>
! 560: Note that most ports are available as packages on our mirrors. Updated
! 561: ports for the 6.0 release will be made available if problems arise.
! 562: <p>
! 563: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
! 564: would like to know more, the mailing list
! 565: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
