490:
491: <tt>src.tar.gz</tt> contains a source archive starting at <tt>/usr/src</tt>.
492: This file contains everything you need except for the kernel sources,
493: which are in a separate archive.
494: To extract:
495:
496: <blockquote><pre>
497: # <b>mkdir -p /usr/src</b>
498: # <b>cd /usr/src</b>
499: # <b>tar xvfz /tmp/src.tar.gz</b>
500: </pre></blockquote>
501:
502: <tt>sys.tar.gz</tt> contains a source archive starting at <tt>/usr/src/sys</tt>.
503: This file contains all the kernel sources you need to rebuild kernels.
504: To extract:
505:
506: <blockquote><pre>
507: # <b>mkdir -p /usr/src/sys</b>
508: # <b>cd /usr/src</b>
509: # <b>tar xvfz /tmp/sys.tar.gz</b>
510: </pre></blockquote>

512: Both of these trees are a regular CVS checkout. Using these trees it
513: is possible to get a head-start on using the anoncvs servers as
514: described <a href="anoncvs.html">here</a>.
515: Using these files
516: results in a much faster initial CVS update than you could expect from
517: a fresh checkout of the full OpenBSD source tree.

524: A ports tree archive is also provided. To extract:

526: <blockquote><pre>
527: # <b>cd /usr</b>

531: Go read the <a href="faq/ports/index.html">ports</a> page
532: if you know nothing about ports
533: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
534: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
535: OpenBSD ports system.
536: <p>
537: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS checkout of our ports.
538: As with our complete source tree, our ports tree is available via
539: <a href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS</a>.
540: So, in order to keep up to date with the -stable branch, you must make
541: the <i>ports/</i> tree available on a read-write medium and update the tree
542: with a command like:
543:
544: <blockquote><pre>
545: # <b>cd /usr/ports</b>
546: # <b>cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_6_3</b>
547: </pre></blockquote>
548:
549: [Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs
550: server.]
551: <p>
552: Note that most ports are available as packages on our mirrors. Updated
553: ports for the 6.3 release will be made available if problems arise.
554: <p>
555: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
556: would like to know more, the mailing list
557: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
