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

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

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