474: If you already have an OpenBSD 6.3 system, and do not want to reinstall,
475: upgrade instructions and advice can be found in the

482:
483: <tt>src.tar.gz</tt> contains a source archive starting at <tt>/usr/src</tt>.
484: This file contains everything you need except for the kernel sources,
485: which are in a separate archive.
486: To extract:
487:
488: <blockquote><pre>
489: # <b>mkdir -p /usr/src</b>
490: # <b>cd /usr/src</b>
491: # <b>tar xvfz /tmp/src.tar.gz</b>
492: </pre></blockquote>
493:
494: <tt>sys.tar.gz</tt> contains a source archive starting at <tt>/usr/src/sys</tt>.
495: This file contains all the kernel sources you need to rebuild kernels.
496: To extract:
497:
498: <blockquote><pre>
499: # <b>mkdir -p /usr/src/sys</b>
500: # <b>cd /usr/src</b>
501: # <b>tar xvfz /tmp/sys.tar.gz</b>
502: </pre></blockquote>
503:
504: Both of these trees are a regular CVS checkout. Using these trees it
505: is possible to get a head-start on using the anoncvs servers as
506: described <a href="anoncvs.html">here</a>.
507: Using these files
508: results in a much faster initial CVS update than you could expect from
509: a fresh checkout of the full OpenBSD source tree.

515:
516: A ports tree archive is also provided. To extract:
517:
518: <blockquote><pre>
519: # <b>cd /usr</b>
520: # <b>tar xvfz /tmp/ports.tar.gz</b>
521: </pre></blockquote>

523: Go read the <a href="faq/ports/index.html">ports</a> page
524: if you know nothing about ports
525: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
526: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
527: OpenBSD ports system.
528: <p>
529: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS checkout of our ports.
530: As with our complete source tree, our ports tree is available via
531: <a href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS</a>.
532: So, in order to keep up to date with the -stable branch, you must make
533: the <i>ports/</i> tree available on a read-write medium and update the tree
534: with a command like:
535:
536: <blockquote><pre>
537: # <b>cd /usr/ports</b>
538: # <b>cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_6_4</b>
539: </pre></blockquote>
540:
541: [Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs
542: server.]
543: <p>
544: Note that most ports are available as packages on our mirrors. Updated
545: ports for the 6.4 release will be made available if problems arise.
546: <p>
547: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
548: would like to know more, the mailing list
549: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
