603: To extract:
604:
605: <blockquote><pre>
606: # <b>mkdir -p /usr/src</b>
607: # <b>cd /usr/src</b>
608: # <b>tar xvfz /tmp/src.tar.gz</b>

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

640: Go read the <a href="faq/ports/index.html">ports</a> page
641: if you know nothing about ports
642: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
643: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
644: OpenBSD ports system.
645: <p>
646: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS checkout of our ports.
647: As with our complete source tree, our ports tree is available via
648: <a href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS</a>.
649: So, in order to keep up to date with the -stable branch, you must make
650: the <i>ports/</i> tree available on a read-write medium and update the tree
651: with a command like:
652:
653: <blockquote><pre>
654: # <b>cd /usr/ports</b>
655: # <b>cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_6_3</b>
656: </pre></blockquote>
657:
658: [Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs
659: server.]
660: <p>
661: Note that most ports are available as packages on our mirrors. Updated
662: ports for the 6.3 release will be made available if problems arise.
663: <p>
664: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
665: would like to know more, the mailing list
666: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
