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

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

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