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

558: To extract:
559:
560: <blockquote><pre>
561: # <b>mkdir -p /usr/src</b>
562: # <b>cd /usr/src</b>
563: # <b>tar xvfz /tmp/src.tar.gz</b>
564: </pre></blockquote>
565:
566: <tt>sys.tar.gz</tt> contains a source archive starting at <tt>/usr/src/sys</tt>.
567: This file contains all the kernel sources you need to rebuild kernels.
568: To extract:
569:
570: <blockquote><pre>
571: # <b>mkdir -p /usr/src/sys</b>

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

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