1.5 matthieu 471: If you already have an OpenBSD 6.2 system, and do not want to reinstall,
1.1 deraadt 472: upgrade instructions and advice can be found in the
473: <a href="faq/upgrade63.html">Upgrade Guide</a>.

478: <h3 id="sourcecode"><font color="#0000e0">Notes about the source code</font></h3>
479:
480: <tt>src.tar.gz</tt> contains a source archive starting at <tt>/usr/src</tt>.
481: This file contains everything you need except for the kernel sources,
482: which are in a separate archive.
483: To extract:
484:
485: <blockquote><pre>
486: # <b>mkdir -p /usr/src</b>
487: # <b>cd /usr/src</b>
488: # <b>tar xvfz /tmp/src.tar.gz</b>
489: </pre></blockquote>
490:
491: <tt>sys.tar.gz</tt> contains a source archive starting at <tt>/usr/src/sys</tt>.
492: This file contains all the kernel sources you need to rebuild kernels.
493: To extract:
494:
495: <blockquote><pre>
496: # <b>mkdir -p /usr/src/sys</b>
497: # <b>cd /usr/src</b>
498: # <b>tar xvfz /tmp/sys.tar.gz</b>
499: </pre></blockquote>
500:
501: Both of these trees are a regular CVS checkout. Using these trees it
502: is possible to get a head-start on using the anoncvs servers as
503: described <a href="anoncvs.html">here</a>.
504: Using these files
505: results in a much faster initial CVS update than you could expect from
506: a fresh checkout of the full OpenBSD source tree.

511: <h3 id="ports"><font color="#0000e0">Ports Tree</font></h3>
512:
513: A ports tree archive is also provided. To extract:
514:
515: <blockquote><pre>
516: # <b>cd /usr</b>
517: # <b>tar xvfz /tmp/ports.tar.gz</b>
518: </pre></blockquote>
519:
520: Go read the <a href="faq/ports/index.html">ports</a> page
521: if you know nothing about ports
522: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
523: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
524: OpenBSD ports system.
525: <p>
526: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS checkout of our ports.
527: As with our complete source tree, our ports tree is available via
528: <a href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS</a>.
529: So, in order to keep up to date with the -stable branch, you must make
530: the <i>ports/</i> tree available on a read-write medium and update the tree
531: with a command like:
532:
533: <blockquote><pre>
534: # <b>cd /usr/ports</b>
535: # <b>cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_6_3</b>
536: </pre></blockquote>
537:
538: [Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs
539: server.]
540: <p>
541: Note that most ports are available as packages on our mirrors. Updated
542: ports for the 6.3 release will be made available if problems arise.
543: <p>
544: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
545: would like to know more, the mailing list
546: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
