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

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

560: A ports tree archive is also provided. To extract:

562: <blockquote><pre>
563: # <b>cd /usr</b>
564: # <b>tar xvfz /tmp/ports.tar.gz</b>

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