1063: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
1064: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
1065: OpenBSD ports system.
1066: <p>
1.6 schwarze 1067: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS checkout of our ports.
1068: As with our complete source tree, our ports tree is available via
1.1 deraadt 1069: <a href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS</a>.
1.75 tj 1070: So, in order to keep up to date with the -stable branch, you must make
1.1 deraadt 1071: the <i>ports/</i> tree available on a read-write medium and update the tree
1072: with a command like:
1073:
1074: <blockquote><pre>
1075: # <b>cd /usr/ports</b>
1076: # <b>cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_6_0</b>
1077: </pre></blockquote>
1078:
1079: [Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs
1080: server.]
1081: <p>
1082: Note that most ports are available as packages on our mirrors. Updated
1083: ports for the 6.0 release will be made available if problems arise.
1084: <p>
1085: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
1086: would like to know more, the mailing list
1087: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
