480: This file contains all the kernel sources you need to rebuild kernels.
481: To extract:
482:
483: <blockquote><pre>
484: # <b>mkdir -p /usr/src/sys</b>
485: # <b>cd /usr/src</b>
486: # <b>tar xvfz /tmp/sys.tar.gz</b>

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

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