637: This file contains everything you need except for the kernel sources,
638: which are in a separate archive.
639: To extract:
640:
641: <blockquote><pre>
642: # <b>mkdir -p /usr/src</b>
643: # <b>cd /usr/src</b>
644: # <b>tar xvfz /tmp/src.tar.gz</b>
645: </pre></blockquote>
646:
647: <tt>sys.tar.gz</tt> contains a source archive starting at <tt>/usr/src/sys</tt>.
648: This file contains all the kernel sources you need to rebuild kernels.
649: To extract:
650:
651: <blockquote><pre>
652: # <b>mkdir -p /usr/src/sys</b>

654: # <b>tar xvfz /tmp/sys.tar.gz</b>

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

672: # <b>cd /usr</b>
673: # <b>tar xvfz /tmp/ports.tar.gz</b>

675:
676: Go read the <a href="faq/ports/index.html">ports</a> page
677: if you know nothing about ports
678: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
679: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
680: OpenBSD ports system.
681: <p>
682: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS checkout of our ports.
683: As with our complete source tree, our ports tree is available via
684: <a href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS</a>.
685: So, in order to keep up to date with the -stable branch, you must make
686: the <i>ports/</i> tree available on a read-write medium and update the tree
687: with a command like:
688:
689: <blockquote><pre>
690: # <b>cd /usr/ports</b>
691: # <b>cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_6_4</b>
692: </pre></blockquote>
693:
694: [Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs
695: server.]
696: <p>
697: Note that most ports are available as packages on our mirrors. Updated
698: ports for the 6.4 release will be made available if problems arise.
699: <p>
700: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
701: would like to know more, the mailing list
702: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
