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

584: To extract:
585:
586: <blockquote><pre>
587: # <b>mkdir -p /usr/src</b>
588: # <b>cd /usr/src</b>
589: # <b>tar xvfz /tmp/src.tar.gz</b>
590: </pre></blockquote>
591:
592: <tt>sys.tar.gz</tt> contains a source archive starting at <tt>/usr/src/sys</tt>.
593: This file contains all the kernel sources you need to rebuild kernels.
594: To extract:
595:
596: <blockquote><pre>
597: # <b>mkdir -p /usr/src/sys</b>
598: # <b>cd /usr/src</b>
599: # <b>tar xvfz /tmp/sys.tar.gz</b>

602: Both of these trees are a regular CVS checkout. Using these trees it
603: is possible to get a head-start on using the anoncvs servers as
604: described <a href="anoncvs.html">here</a>.

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

620:
621: Go read the <a href="faq/ports/index.html">ports</a> page
622: if you know nothing about ports
623: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
624: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
625: OpenBSD ports system.
626: <p>
627: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS checkout of our ports.
628: As with our complete source tree, our ports tree is available via
629: <a href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS</a>.
630: So, in order to keep up to date with the -stable branch, you must make
631: the <i>ports/</i> tree available on a read-write medium and update the tree
632: with a command like:
633:
634: <blockquote><pre>
635: # <b>cd /usr/ports</b>
636: # <b>cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_6_4</b>
637: </pre></blockquote>
638:
639: [Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs
640: server.]
641: <p>
642: Note that most ports are available as packages on our mirrors. Updated
643: ports for the 6.4 release will be made available if problems arise.
644: <p>
645: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
646: would like to know more, the mailing list
647: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
