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

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