1046: So, in order to keep up to date with the -stable branch, you must make
1047: the <i>ports/</i> tree available on a read-write medium and update the tree
1048: with a command like:
1049:
1050: <blockquote><pre>
1051: # <b>cd /usr/ports</b>

1054:
1055: [Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs
1056: server.]
1057: <p>
1058: Note that most ports are available as packages on our mirrors. Updated
1059: ports for the 6.4 release will be made available if problems arise.
1060: <p>
1061: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
1062: would like to know more, the mailing list
