553: <tt>src.tar.gz</tt> contains a source archive starting at <tt>/usr/src</tt>.
554: This file contains everything you need except for the kernel sources,
555: which are in a separate archive.
556: To extract:
557:
558: <blockquote><pre>
559: # <b>mkdir -p /usr/src</b>
560: # <b>cd /usr/src</b>
561: # <b>tar xvfz /tmp/src.tar.gz</b>
562: </pre></blockquote>
563:
564: <tt>sys.tar.gz</tt> contains a source archive starting at <tt>/usr/src/sys</tt>.
565: This file contains all the kernel sources you need to rebuild kernels.
566: To extract:
567:
568: <blockquote><pre>
569: # <b>mkdir -p /usr/src/sys</b>
570: # <b>cd /usr/src</b>
571: # <b>tar xvfz /tmp/sys.tar.gz</b>
572: </pre></blockquote>

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

589: # <b>cd /usr</b>

592:
593: Go read the <a href="faq/ports/index.html">ports</a> page
594: if you know nothing about ports
595: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
596: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
597: OpenBSD ports system.
598: <p>
599: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS checkout of our ports.
600: As with our complete source tree, our ports tree is available via
601: <a href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS</a>.
602: So, in order to keep up to date with the -stable branch, you must make
603: the <i>ports/</i> tree available on a read-write medium and update the tree
604: with a command like:
605:
606: <blockquote><pre>
607: # <b>cd /usr/ports</b>
608: # <b>cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_6_4</b>
609: </pre></blockquote>
610:
611: [Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs
612: server.]
613: <p>
614: Note that most ports are available as packages on our mirrors. Updated
615: ports for the 6.4 release will be made available if problems arise.
616: <p>
617: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
618: would like to know more, the mailing list
619: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
