651: # <b>cd /usr/src</b>
652: # <b>tar xvfz /tmp/src.tar.gz</b>

655: <tt>sys.tar.gz</tt> contains a source archive starting at <tt>/usr/src/sys</tt>.

687: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
688: OpenBSD ports system.
689: <p>
690: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS checkout of our ports.
691: As with our complete source tree, our ports tree is available via
692: <a href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS</a>.
693: So, in order to keep up to date with the -stable branch, you must make
694: the <i>ports/</i> tree available on a read-write medium and update the tree
695: with a command like:
696:
697: <blockquote><pre>
698: # <b>cd /usr/ports</b>
699: # <b>cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_6_4</b>
700: </pre></blockquote>
701:
702: [Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs
703: server.]
704: <p>
705: Note that most ports are available as packages on our mirrors. Updated
706: ports for the 6.4 release will be made available if problems arise.
707: <p>
708: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
709: would like to know more, the mailing list
710: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
