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

567: Both of these trees are a regular CVS checkout. Using these trees it
568: is possible to get a head-start on using the anoncvs servers as
569: described <a href="anoncvs.html">here</a>.

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