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

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