526: <tt>src.tar.gz</tt> contains a source archive starting at <tt>/usr/src</tt>.
527: This file contains everything you need except for the kernel sources,
528: which are in a separate archive.
529: To extract:
530:
531: <blockquote><pre>
532: # <b>mkdir -p /usr/src</b>
533: # <b>cd /usr/src</b>
534: # <b>tar xvfz /tmp/src.tar.gz</b>
535: </pre></blockquote>
536:
537: <tt>sys.tar.gz</tt> contains a source archive starting at <tt>/usr/src/sys</tt>.
538: This file contains all the kernel sources you need to rebuild kernels.
539: To extract:
540:
541: <blockquote><pre>
542: # <b>mkdir -p /usr/src/sys</b>
543: # <b>cd /usr/src</b>
544: # <b>tar xvfz /tmp/sys.tar.gz</b>
545: </pre></blockquote>

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

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