476: This file contains everything you need except for the kernel sources,
477: which are in a separate archive.
478: To extract:
479:
480: <blockquote><pre>
481: # <b>mkdir -p /usr/src</b>
482: # <b>cd /usr/src</b>
483: # <b>tar xvfz /tmp/src.tar.gz</b>
484: </pre></blockquote>
485:
486: <tt>sys.tar.gz</tt> contains a source archive starting at <tt>/usr/src/sys</tt>.
487: This file contains all the kernel sources you need to rebuild kernels.
488: To extract:
489:
490: <blockquote><pre>
491: # <b>mkdir -p /usr/src/sys</b>

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

515: Go read the <a href="faq/ports/index.html">ports</a> page
516: if you know nothing about ports
517: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
518: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
519: OpenBSD ports system.
520: <p>
521: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS checkout of our ports.
522: As with our complete source tree, our ports tree is available via
523: <a href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS</a>.
524: So, in order to keep up to date with the <i>-stable</i> branch, you must make
525: the <i>ports/</i> tree available on a read-write medium and update the tree
526: with a command like:
527:
528: <blockquote><pre>
529: # <b>cd /usr/ports</b>
530: # <b>cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_6_1</b>
531: </pre></blockquote>
532:
533: [Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs
534: server.]
535: <p>
536: Note that most ports are available as packages on our mirrors. Updated
537: ports for the 6.1 release will be made available if problems arise.
538: <p>
539: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
540: would like to know more, the mailing list
541: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
