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

551: To extract:
552:
553: <blockquote><pre>
554: # <b>mkdir -p /usr/src</b>
555: # <b>cd /usr/src</b>
556: # <b>tar xvfz /tmp/src.tar.gz</b>
557: </pre></blockquote>
558:
559: <tt>sys.tar.gz</tt> contains a source archive starting at <tt>/usr/src/sys</tt>.
560: This file contains all the kernel sources you need to rebuild kernels.
561: To extract:
562:
563: <blockquote><pre>
564: # <b>mkdir -p /usr/src/sys</b>

588: Go read the <a href="faq/ports/index.html">ports</a> page
589: if you know nothing about ports
590: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
591: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
592: OpenBSD ports system.
593: <p>
594: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS checkout of our ports.
595: As with our complete source tree, our ports tree is available via
596: <a href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS</a>.
597: So, in order to keep up to date with the <i>-stable</i> branch, you must make
598: the <i>ports/</i> tree available on a read-write medium and update the tree
599: with a command like:
600:
601: <blockquote><pre>
602: # <b>cd /usr/ports</b>
1.15 phessler 603: # <b>cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_6_2</b>
1.1 deraadt 604: </pre></blockquote>
605:
606: [Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs
607: server.]
608: <p>
609: Note that most ports are available as packages on our mirrors. Updated
610: ports for the 6.2 release will be made available if problems arise.
611: <p>
612: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
613: would like to know more, the mailing list
614: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
