188: <li>When passing packets from the network stack to the
189: interface layer, make sure that they have no pointers to
190: <a href="http://man.openbsd.org/pf.4">pf(4)</a>
191: which could result in a memory free operation at the wrong
192: protection level.
193: <li>Fix checksum calculation in
194: <a href="http://man.openbsd.org/pf.4">pf(4)</a>
195: af-to ICMP packet conversions.
196: Simplify af-to processing in and fix path MTU discovery in
197: some corner cases.

203: more strictly in
204: <a href="http://man.openbsd.org/pf.4">pf(4)</a>.
205: RFC 8021 "IPv6 Atomic Fragments Considered Harmful" deprecates
206: generating atomic fragments, so do not send them anymore.

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.

787: <tt>src.tar.gz</tt> contains a source archive starting at <tt>/usr/src</tt>.
788: This file contains everything you need except for the kernel sources,
789: which are in a separate archive.
790: To extract:
791:
792: <blockquote><pre>
793: # <b>mkdir -p /usr/src</b>
794: # <b>cd /usr/src</b>
795: # <b>tar xvfz /tmp/src.tar.gz</b>
796: </pre></blockquote>
797:
798: <tt>sys.tar.gz</tt> contains a source archive starting at <tt>/usr/src/sys</tt>.
799: This file contains all the kernel sources you need to rebuild kernels.
800: To extract:
801:
802: <blockquote><pre>
803: # <b>mkdir -p /usr/src/sys</b>
804: # <b>cd /usr/src</b>
805: # <b>tar xvfz /tmp/sys.tar.gz</b>
806: </pre></blockquote>

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

819:
820: A ports tree archive is also provided. To extract:
821:
822: <blockquote><pre>
823: # <b>cd /usr</b>
824: # <b>tar xvfz /tmp/ports.tar.gz</b>
825: </pre></blockquote>
826:
827: Go read the <a href="faq/ports/index.html">ports</a> page
828: if you know nothing about ports
829: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
830: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
831: OpenBSD ports system.
832: <p>
833: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS checkout of our ports.
834: As with our complete source tree, our ports tree is available via
835: <a href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS</a>.
836: So, in order to keep up to date with the <i>-stable</i> branch, you must make
837: the <i>ports/</i> tree available on a read-write medium and update the tree
838: with a command like:
839:
840: <blockquote><pre>
841: # <b>cd /usr/ports</b>
842: # <b>cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_6_1</b>
843: </pre></blockquote>
844:
845: [Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs
846: server.]
847: <p>
848: Note that most ports are available as packages on our mirrors. Updated
849: ports for the 6.1 release will be made available if problems arise.
850: <p>
851: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
852: would like to know more, the mailing list
853: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
