782: Go read the <a href="faq/ports/index.html">ports</a> page
783: if you know nothing about ports
784: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
785: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
786: OpenBSD ports system.
787: <p>
788: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS checkout of our ports.
789: As with our complete source tree, our ports tree is available via
790: <a href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS</a>.
791: So, in order to keep up to date with the <i>-stable</i> branch, you must make
792: the <i>ports/</i> tree available on a read-write medium and update the tree
793: with a command like:
794:
795: <blockquote><pre>
796: # <b>cd /usr/ports</b>
797: # <b>cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_6_1</b>
798: </pre></blockquote>
799:
800: [Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs
801: server.]
802: <p>
803: Note that most ports are available as packages on our mirrors. Updated
804: ports for the 6.1 release will be made available if problems arise.
805: <p>
806: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
807: would like to know more, the mailing list
808: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
