572: This file contains everything you need except for the kernel sources,

574: To extract:
575:
576: <blockquote><pre>
577: # <b>mkdir -p /usr/src</b>
578: # <b>cd /usr/src</b>
579: # <b>tar xvfz /tmp/src.tar.gz</b>

581:
582: <tt>sys.tar.gz</tt> contains a source archive starting at <tt>/usr/src/sys</tt>.

611: Go read the <a href="faq/ports/index.html">ports</a> page
612: if you know nothing about ports
613: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
614: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
615: OpenBSD ports system.
616: <p>
617: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS checkout of our ports.
618: As with our complete source tree, our ports tree is available via
619: <a href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS</a>.
620: So, in order to keep up to date with the -stable branch, you must make
621: the <i>ports/</i> tree available on a read-write medium and update the tree
622: with a command like:
623:
624: <blockquote><pre>
625: # <b>cd /usr/ports</b>
626: # <b>cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_6_3</b>
627: </pre></blockquote>
628:
629: [Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs
630: server.]
631: <p>
632: Note that most ports are available as packages on our mirrors. Updated
633: ports for the 6.3 release will be made available if problems arise.
634: <p>
635: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
636: would like to know more, the mailing list
637: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
