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

569: To extract:
570:
571: <blockquote><pre>
572: # <b>mkdir -p /usr/src</b>
573: # <b>cd /usr/src</b>
574: # <b>tar xvfz /tmp/src.tar.gz</b>
575: </pre></blockquote>
576:
577: <tt>sys.tar.gz</tt> contains a source archive starting at <tt>/usr/src/sys</tt>.
578: This file contains all the kernel sources you need to rebuild kernels.
579: To extract:
580:
581: <blockquote><pre>
582: # <b>mkdir -p /usr/src/sys</b>

587: Both of these trees are a regular CVS checkout. Using these trees it
588: is possible to get a head-start on using the anoncvs servers as

606: Go read the <a href="faq/ports/index.html">ports</a> page
607: if you know nothing about ports
608: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
609: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
610: OpenBSD ports system.
611: <p>
612: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS checkout of our ports.
613: As with our complete source tree, our ports tree is available via
614: <a href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS</a>.
615: So, in order to keep up to date with the <i>-stable</i> branch, you must make
616: the <i>ports/</i> tree available on a read-write medium and update the tree
617: with a command like:
618:
619: <blockquote><pre>
620: # <b>cd /usr/ports</b>
1.15 phessler 621: # <b>cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_6_2</b>
1.1 deraadt 622: </pre></blockquote>
623:
624: [Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs
625: server.]
626: <p>
627: Note that most ports are available as packages on our mirrors. Updated
628: ports for the 6.2 release will be made available if problems arise.
629: <p>
630: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
631: would like to know more, the mailing list
632: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
