536: This file contains everything you need except for the kernel sources,
537: which are in a separate archive.
538: To extract:
539:
540: <blockquote><pre>
541: # <b>mkdir -p /usr/src</b>
542: # <b>cd /usr/src</b>
543: # <b>tar xvfz /tmp/src.tar.gz</b>
544: </pre></blockquote>
545:
546: <tt>sys.tar.gz</tt> contains a source archive starting at <tt>/usr/src/sys</tt>.
547: This file contains all the kernel sources you need to rebuild kernels.
548: To extract:
549:
550: <blockquote><pre>
551: # <b>mkdir -p /usr/src/sys</b>

556: Both of these trees are a regular CVS checkout. Using these trees it
557: is possible to get a head-start on using the anoncvs servers as
558: described <a href="anoncvs.html">here</a>.

560: results in a much faster initial CVS update than you could expect from
561: a fresh checkout of the full OpenBSD source tree.

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