657: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
658: OpenBSD ports system.
659: <p>
660: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS checkout of our ports.
661: As with our complete source tree, our ports tree is available via
662: <a href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS</a>.
663: So, in order to keep up to date with the <i>-stable</i> branch, you must make
664: the <i>ports/</i> tree available on a read-write medium and update the tree
665: with a command like:
666:
667: <blockquote><pre>
668: # <b>cd /usr/ports</b>
669: # <b>cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_6_1</b>
670: </pre></blockquote>
671:
672: [Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs
673: server.]
674: <p>
675: Note that most ports are available as packages on our mirrors. Updated
676: ports for the 6.1 release will be made available if problems arise.
677: <p>
678: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
679: would like to know more, the mailing list
680: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
