469: <tt>src.tar.gz</tt> contains a source archive starting at <tt>/usr/src</tt>.
470: This file contains everything you need except for the kernel sources,
471: which are in a separate archive.
472: To extract:
473:
474: <blockquote><pre>
475: # <b>mkdir -p /usr/src</b>
476: # <b>cd /usr/src</b>
477: # <b>tar xvfz /tmp/src.tar.gz</b>
478: </pre></blockquote>
479:
480: <tt>sys.tar.gz</tt> contains a source archive starting at <tt>/usr/src/sys</tt>.
481: This file contains all the kernel sources you need to rebuild kernels.
482: To extract:
483:
484: <blockquote><pre>
485: # <b>mkdir -p /usr/src/sys</b>
486: # <b>cd /usr/src</b>
487: # <b>tar xvfz /tmp/sys.tar.gz</b>
488: </pre></blockquote>

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

501:
502: A ports tree archive is also provided. To extract:
503:
504: <blockquote><pre>
505: # <b>cd /usr</b>
506: # <b>tar xvfz /tmp/ports.tar.gz</b>
507: </pre></blockquote>
508:
509: Go read the <a href="faq/ports/index.html">ports</a> page
510: if you know nothing about ports
511: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
512: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
513: OpenBSD ports system.
514: <p>
515: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS checkout of our ports.
516: As with our complete source tree, our ports tree is available via
517: <a href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS</a>.
518: So, in order to keep up to date with the <i>-stable</i> branch, you must make
519: the <i>ports/</i> tree available on a read-write medium and update the tree
520: with a command like:
521:
522: <blockquote><pre>
523: # <b>cd /usr/ports</b>
524: # <b>cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_6_1</b>
525: </pre></blockquote>
526:
527: [Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs
528: server.]
529: <p>
530: Note that most ports are available as packages on our mirrors. Updated
531: ports for the 6.1 release will be made available if problems arise.
532: <p>
533: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
534: would like to know more, the mailing list
535: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
