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

654: Both of these trees are a regular CVS checkout. Using these trees it
655: is possible to get a head-start on using the anoncvs servers as
656: described <a href="anoncvs.html">here</a>.
657: Using these files
658: results in a much faster initial CVS update than you could expect from
659: a fresh checkout of the full OpenBSD source tree.

669: # <b>cd /usr</b>
670: # <b>tar xvfz /tmp/ports.tar.gz</b>

672:
673: Go read the <a href="faq/ports/index.html">ports</a> page
674: if you know nothing about ports
675: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
676: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
677: OpenBSD ports system.
678: <p>
679: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS checkout of our ports.
680: As with our complete source tree, our ports tree is available via
681: <a href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS</a>.
682: So, in order to keep up to date with the -stable branch, you must make
683: the <i>ports/</i> tree available on a read-write medium and update the tree
684: with a command like:
685:
686: <blockquote><pre>
687: # <b>cd /usr/ports</b>
688: # <b>cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_6_4</b>
689: </pre></blockquote>
690:
691: [Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs
692: server.]
693: <p>
694: Note that most ports are available as packages on our mirrors. Updated
695: ports for the 6.4 release will be made available if problems arise.
696: <p>
697: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
698: would like to know more, the mailing list
699: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
