569: This file contains everything you need except for the kernel sources,

571: To extract:
572:
573: <blockquote><pre>
574: # <b>mkdir -p /usr/src</b>
575: # <b>cd /usr/src</b>
576: # <b>tar xvfz /tmp/src.tar.gz</b>
577: </pre></blockquote>
578:
579: <tt>sys.tar.gz</tt> contains a source archive starting at <tt>/usr/src/sys</tt>.
580: This file contains all the kernel sources you need to rebuild kernels.
581: To extract:
582:
583: <blockquote><pre>
584: # <b>mkdir -p /usr/src/sys</b>

608: Go read the <a href="faq/ports/index.html">ports</a> page
609: if you know nothing about ports
610: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
611: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
612: OpenBSD ports system.
613: <p>
614: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS checkout of our ports.
615: As with our complete source tree, our ports tree is available via
616: <a href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS</a>.
617: So, in order to keep up to date with the -stable branch, you must make
618: the <i>ports/</i> tree available on a read-write medium and update the tree
619: with a command like:
620:
621: <blockquote><pre>
622: # <b>cd /usr/ports</b>
623: # <b>cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_6_4</b>
624: </pre></blockquote>
625:
626: [Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs
627: server.]
628: <p>
629: Note that most ports are available as packages on our mirrors. Updated
630: ports for the 6.4 release will be made available if problems arise.
631: <p>
632: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
633: would like to know more, the mailing list
634: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
