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

626: To extract:
627:
628: <blockquote><pre>
629: # <b>mkdir -p /usr/src</b>
630: # <b>cd /usr/src</b>
631: # <b>tar xvfz /tmp/src.tar.gz</b>
632: </pre></blockquote>
633:
634: <tt>sys.tar.gz</tt> contains a source archive starting at <tt>/usr/src/sys</tt>.
635: This file contains all the kernel sources you need to rebuild kernels.
636: To extract:
637:
638: <blockquote><pre>
639: # <b>mkdir -p /usr/src/sys</b>

644: Both of these trees are a regular CVS checkout. Using these trees it
645: is possible to get a head-start on using the anoncvs servers as

663: Go read the <a href="faq/ports/index.html">ports</a> page
664: if you know nothing about ports
665: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
666: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
667: OpenBSD ports system.
668: <p>
669: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS checkout of our ports.
670: As with our complete source tree, our ports tree is available via
671: <a href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS</a>.
672: So, in order to keep up to date with the -stable branch, you must make
673: the <i>ports/</i> tree available on a read-write medium and update the tree
674: with a command like:
675:
676: <blockquote><pre>
677: # <b>cd /usr/ports</b>
678: # <b>cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_6_4</b>
679: </pre></blockquote>
680:
681: [Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs
682: server.]
683: <p>
684: Note that most ports are available as packages on our mirrors. Updated
685: ports for the 6.4 release will be made available if problems arise.
686: <p>
687: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
688: would like to know more, the mailing list
689: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
