580: This file contains everything you need except for the kernel sources,
581: which are in a separate archive.
582: To extract:
583:
584: <blockquote><pre>
585: # <b>mkdir -p /usr/src</b>
586: # <b>cd /usr/src</b>
587: # <b>tar xvfz /tmp/src.tar.gz</b>
588: </pre></blockquote>
589:
590: <tt>sys.tar.gz</tt> contains a source archive starting at <tt>/usr/src/sys</tt>.
591: This file contains all the kernel sources you need to rebuild kernels.
592: To extract:
593:

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

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