519:
520: <tt>src.tar.gz</tt> contains a source archive starting at <tt>/usr/src</tt>.
521: This file contains everything you need except for the kernel sources,
522: which are in a separate archive.
523: To extract:
524:
525: <blockquote><pre>
526: # <b>mkdir -p /usr/src</b>
527: # <b>cd /usr/src</b>
528: # <b>tar xvfz /tmp/src.tar.gz</b>
529: </pre></blockquote>
530:
531: <tt>sys.tar.gz</tt> contains a source archive starting at <tt>/usr/src/sys</tt>.
532: This file contains all the kernel sources you need to rebuild kernels.
533: To extract:
534:
535: <blockquote><pre>
536: # <b>mkdir -p /usr/src/sys</b>
537: # <b>cd /usr/src</b>
538: # <b>tar xvfz /tmp/sys.tar.gz</b>
539: </pre></blockquote>

541: Both of these trees are a regular CVS checkout. Using these trees it
542: is possible to get a head-start on using the anoncvs servers as
543: described <a href="anoncvs.html">here</a>.
544: Using these files
545: results in a much faster initial CVS update than you could expect from
546: a fresh checkout of the full OpenBSD source tree.

555: <blockquote><pre>
556: # <b>cd /usr</b>

559:
560: Go read the <a href="faq/ports/index.html">ports</a> page
561: if you know nothing about ports
562: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
563: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
564: OpenBSD ports system.
565: <p>
566: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS checkout of our ports.
567: As with our complete source tree, our ports tree is available via
568: <a href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS</a>.
569: So, in order to keep up to date with the <i>-stable</i> branch, you must make
570: the <i>ports/</i> tree available on a read-write medium and update the tree
571: with a command like:
572:
573: <blockquote><pre>
574: # <b>cd /usr/ports</b>
575: # <b>cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_6_1</b>
576: </pre></blockquote>
577:
578: [Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs
579: server.]
580: <p>
581: Note that most ports are available as packages on our mirrors. Updated
582: ports for the 6.2 release will be made available if problems arise.
583: <p>
584: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
585: would like to know more, the mailing list
586: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
