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

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

529: <blockquote><pre>
530: # <b>cd /usr</b>

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