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

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

559: <blockquote><pre>
560: # <b>cd /usr</b>

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