539:
540: <tt>src.tar.gz</tt> contains a source archive starting at <tt>/usr/src</tt>.
541: This file contains everything you need except for the kernel sources,
542: which are in a separate archive.
543: To extract:
544:
545: <blockquote><pre>
546: # <b>mkdir -p /usr/src</b>
547: # <b>cd /usr/src</b>
548: # <b>tar xvfz /tmp/src.tar.gz</b>
549: </pre></blockquote>
550:
551: <tt>sys.tar.gz</tt> contains a source archive starting at <tt>/usr/src/sys</tt>.
552: This file contains all the kernel sources you need to rebuild kernels.
553: To extract:
554:
555: <blockquote><pre>
556: # <b>mkdir -p /usr/src/sys</b>
557: # <b>cd /usr/src</b>
558: # <b>tar xvfz /tmp/sys.tar.gz</b>
559: </pre></blockquote>
560:
561: Both of these trees are a regular CVS checkout. Using these trees it
562: is possible to get a head-start on using the anoncvs servers as
563: described <a href="anoncvs.html">here</a>.
564: Using these files
565: results in a much faster initial CVS update than you could expect from
566: a fresh checkout of the full OpenBSD source tree.

572:
573: A ports tree archive is also provided. To extract:
574:
575: <blockquote><pre>
576: # <b>cd /usr</b>
577: # <b>tar xvfz /tmp/ports.tar.gz</b>
578: </pre></blockquote>
579:
580: Go read the <a href="faq/ports/index.html">ports</a> page
581: if you know nothing about ports
582: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
583: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
584: OpenBSD ports system.
585: <p>
586: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS checkout of our ports.
587: As with our complete source tree, our ports tree is available via
588: <a href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS</a>.
589: So, in order to keep up to date with the -stable branch, you must make
590: the <i>ports/</i> tree available on a read-write medium and update the tree
591: with a command like:
592:
593: <blockquote><pre>
594: # <b>cd /usr/ports</b>
595: # <b>cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_6_4</b>
596: </pre></blockquote>
597:
598: [Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs
599: server.]
600: <p>
601: Note that most ports are available as packages on our mirrors. Updated
602: ports for the 6.4 release will be made available if problems arise.
603: <p>
604: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
605: would like to know more, the mailing list
606: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
