652: <blockquote><pre>
653: # <b>mkdir -p /usr/src</b>
654: # <b>cd /usr/src</b>
655: # <b>tar xvfz /tmp/src.tar.gz</b>

657:
658: <tt>sys.tar.gz</tt> contains a source archive starting at <tt>/usr/src/sys</tt>.
659: This file contains all the kernel sources you need to rebuild kernels.

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