606:
607: <blockquote><pre>
608: # <b>mkdir -p /usr/src</b>
609: # <b>cd /usr/src</b>
610: # <b>tar xvfz /tmp/src.tar.gz</b>

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

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