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

644: To extract:
645:
646: <blockquote><pre>
647: # <b>mkdir -p /usr/src</b>
648: # <b>cd /usr/src</b>
649: # <b>tar xvfz /tmp/src.tar.gz</b>
650: </pre></blockquote>
651:
652: <tt>sys.tar.gz</tt> contains a source archive starting at <tt>/usr/src/sys</tt>.
653: This file contains all the kernel sources you need to rebuild kernels.
654: To extract:

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

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

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