540: This file contains everything you need except for the kernel sources,
541: which are in a separate archive.
542: To extract:
543:
544: <blockquote><pre>
545: # <b>mkdir -p /usr/src</b>
546: # <b>cd /usr/src</b>
547: # <b>tar xvfz /tmp/src.tar.gz</b>
548: </pre></blockquote>
549:
550: <tt>sys.tar.gz</tt> contains a source archive starting at <tt>/usr/src/sys</tt>.
551: This file contains all the kernel sources you need to rebuild kernels.
552: To extract:
553:
554: <blockquote><pre>
555: # <b>mkdir -p /usr/src/sys</b>
556: # <b>cd /usr/src</b>
557: # <b>tar xvfz /tmp/sys.tar.gz</b>

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

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