1064: Go read the <a href="faq/ports/index.html">ports</a> page
1065: if you know nothing about ports
1066: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
1067: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
1068: OpenBSD ports system.
1069: <p>
1.6 schwarze 1070: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS checkout of our ports.
1071: As with our complete source tree, our ports tree is available via
1.1 deraadt 1072: <a href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS</a>.
1.75 tj 1073: So, in order to keep up to date with the -stable branch, you must make
1.1 deraadt 1074: the <i>ports/</i> tree available on a read-write medium and update the tree
1075: with a command like:
1076:
1077: <blockquote><pre>
1078: # <b>cd /usr/ports</b>
1079: # <b>cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_6_0</b>
1080: </pre></blockquote>
1081:
1082: [Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs
1083: server.]
1084: <p>
1085: Note that most ports are available as packages on our mirrors. Updated
1086: ports for the 6.0 release will be made available if problems arise.
1087: <p>
1088: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
1089: would like to know more, the mailing list
1090: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
