197: interface layer, make sure that they have no pointers to
198: <a href="http://man.openbsd.org/pf.4">pf(4)</a>
199: which could result in a memory free operation at the wrong
200: protection level.

216: <a href="http://man.openbsd.org/ipsecctl.8">ipsecctl(8)</a>
217: may automatically group SA bundles together.
218: To make clear what is going on, the kernel provides this
219: information and ipsecctl -s sa prints IPsec SA bundles.
1.51 krw 220: <li>A new routing socket message type, RTM_PROPOSAL, was added to
221: facilitate future improvements to the network configuration process.

812: To extract:
813:
814: <blockquote><pre>
815: # <b>mkdir -p /usr/src</b>
816: # <b>cd /usr/src</b>
817: # <b>tar xvfz /tmp/src.tar.gz</b>

820: <tt>sys.tar.gz</tt> contains a source archive starting at <tt>/usr/src/sys</tt>.

831: is possible to get a head-start on using the anoncvs servers as
832: described <a href="anoncvs.html">here</a>.
833: Using these files
834: results in a much faster initial CVS update than you could expect from
835: a fresh checkout of the full OpenBSD source tree.

850: if you know nothing about ports
851: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
852: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
853: OpenBSD ports system.
854: <p>
855: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS checkout of our ports.
856: As with our complete source tree, our ports tree is available via
857: <a href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS</a>.
858: So, in order to keep up to date with the <i>-stable</i> branch, you must make
859: the <i>ports/</i> tree available on a read-write medium and update the tree
860: with a command like:
861:
862: <blockquote><pre>
863: # <b>cd /usr/ports</b>
864: # <b>cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_6_1</b>
865: </pre></blockquote>
866:
867: [Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs
868: server.]
869: <p>
870: Note that most ports are available as packages on our mirrors. Updated
871: ports for the 6.1 release will be made available if problems arise.
872: <p>
873: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
874: would like to know more, the mailing list
875: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
