546: This file contains everything you need except for the kernel sources,

548: To extract:
549:
550: <blockquote><pre>
551: # <b>mkdir -p /usr/src</b>
552: # <b>cd /usr/src</b>
553: # <b>tar xvfz /tmp/src.tar.gz</b>
554: </pre></blockquote>
555:
556: <tt>sys.tar.gz</tt> contains a source archive starting at <tt>/usr/src/sys</tt>.
557: This file contains all the kernel sources you need to rebuild kernels.
558: To extract:
559:
560: <blockquote><pre>
561: # <b>mkdir -p /usr/src/sys</b>

585: Go read the <a href="faq/ports/index.html">ports</a> page
586: if you know nothing about ports
587: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
588: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
589: OpenBSD ports system.
590: <p>
591: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS checkout of our ports.
592: As with our complete source tree, our ports tree is available via
593: <a href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS</a>.
594: So, in order to keep up to date with the <i>-stable</i> branch, you must make
595: the <i>ports/</i> tree available on a read-write medium and update the tree
596: with a command like:
597:
598: <blockquote><pre>
599: # <b>cd /usr/ports</b>
600: # <b>cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_6_1</b>
601: </pre></blockquote>
602:
603: [Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs
604: server.]
605: <p>
606: Note that most ports are available as packages on our mirrors. Updated
607: ports for the 6.2 release will be made available if problems arise.
608: <p>
609: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
610: would like to know more, the mailing list
611: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
