584: # <b>cd /usr/src</b>
585: # <b>tar xvfz /tmp/src.tar.gz</b>

587:
588: <tt>sys.tar.gz</tt> contains a source archive starting at <tt>/usr/src/sys</tt>.

618: if you know nothing about ports
619: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
620: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
621: OpenBSD ports system.
622: <p>
623: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS checkout of our ports.
624: As with our complete source tree, our ports tree is available via
625: <a href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS</a>.
626: So, in order to keep up to date with the <i>-stable</i> branch, you must make
627: the <i>ports/</i> tree available on a read-write medium and update the tree
628: with a command like:
629:
630: <blockquote><pre>
631: # <b>cd /usr/ports</b>
1.15 phessler 632: # <b>cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_6_2</b>
1.1 deraadt 633: </pre></blockquote>
634:
635: [Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs
636: server.]
637: <p>
638: Note that most ports are available as packages on our mirrors. Updated
639: ports for the 6.2 release will be made available if problems arise.
640: <p>
641: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
642: would like to know more, the mailing list
643: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
