518:
519: <tt>src.tar.gz</tt> contains a source archive starting at <tt>/usr/src</tt>.
520: This file contains everything you need except for the kernel sources,
521: which are in a separate archive.
522: To extract:
523:
524: <blockquote><pre>
525: # <b>mkdir -p /usr/src</b>
526: # <b>cd /usr/src</b>
527: # <b>tar xvfz /tmp/src.tar.gz</b>
528: </pre></blockquote>
529:
530: <tt>sys.tar.gz</tt> contains a source archive starting at <tt>/usr/src/sys</tt>.
531: This file contains all the kernel sources you need to rebuild kernels.
532: To extract:
533:
534: <blockquote><pre>
535: # <b>mkdir -p /usr/src/sys</b>
536: # <b>cd /usr/src</b>
537: # <b>tar xvfz /tmp/sys.tar.gz</b>

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

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

559: Go read the <a href="faq/ports/index.html">ports</a> page
560: if you know nothing about ports
561: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
562: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
563: OpenBSD ports system.
564: <p>
565: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS checkout of our ports.
566: As with our complete source tree, our ports tree is available via
567: <a href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS</a>.
568: So, in order to keep up to date with the -stable branch, you must make
569: the <i>ports/</i> tree available on a read-write medium and update the tree
570: with a command like:
571:
572: <blockquote><pre>
573: # <b>cd /usr/ports</b>
574: # <b>cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_6_3</b>
575: </pre></blockquote>
576:
577: [Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs
578: server.]
579: <p>
580: Note that most ports are available as packages on our mirrors. Updated
581: ports for the 6.3 release will be made available if problems arise.
582: <p>
583: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
584: would like to know more, the mailing list
585: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
