208: <a href="http://man.openbsd.org/ipsecctl.8">ipsecctl(8)</a>
209: may automatically group SA bundles together.
210: To make clear what is going on, the kernel provides this
211: information and ipsecctl -s sa prints IPsec SA bundles.

770: <tt>src.tar.gz</tt> contains a source archive starting at <tt>/usr/src</tt>.
771: This file contains everything you need except for the kernel sources,
772: which are in a separate archive.
773: To extract:
774:
775: <blockquote><pre>
776: # <b>mkdir -p /usr/src</b>
777: # <b>cd /usr/src</b>
778: # <b>tar xvfz /tmp/src.tar.gz</b>
779: </pre></blockquote>
780:
781: <tt>sys.tar.gz</tt> contains a source archive starting at <tt>/usr/src/sys</tt>.
782: This file contains all the kernel sources you need to rebuild kernels.
783: To extract:
784:
785: <blockquote><pre>
786: # <b>mkdir -p /usr/src/sys</b>
787: # <b>cd /usr/src</b>
788: # <b>tar xvfz /tmp/sys.tar.gz</b>
789: </pre></blockquote>

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

802:
803: A ports tree archive is also provided. To extract:
804:
805: <blockquote><pre>
806: # <b>cd /usr</b>
807: # <b>tar xvfz /tmp/ports.tar.gz</b>
808: </pre></blockquote>

810: Go read the <a href="faq/ports/index.html">ports</a> page
811: if you know nothing about ports
812: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
813: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
814: OpenBSD ports system.
815: <p>
816: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS checkout of our ports.
817: As with our complete source tree, our ports tree is available via
818: <a href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS</a>.
819: So, in order to keep up to date with the <i>-stable</i> branch, you must make
820: the <i>ports/</i> tree available on a read-write medium and update the tree
821: with a command like:
822:
823: <blockquote><pre>
824: # <b>cd /usr/ports</b>
825: # <b>cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_6_1</b>
826: </pre></blockquote>
827:
828: [Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs
829: server.]
830: <p>
831: Note that most ports are available as packages on our mirrors. Updated
832: ports for the 6.1 release will be made available if problems arise.
833: <p>
834: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
835: would like to know more, the mailing list
836: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
