665: # <b>cd /usr/src</b>
666: # <b>tar xvfz /tmp/src.tar.gz</b>

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

700: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
701: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
702: OpenBSD ports system.
703: <p>
704: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS checkout of our ports.
705: As with our complete source tree, our ports tree is available via
706: <a href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS</a>.
707: So, in order to keep up to date with the -stable branch, you must make
708: the <i>ports/</i> tree available on a read-write medium and update the tree
709: with a command like:
710:
711: <blockquote><pre>
712: # <b>cd /usr/ports</b>
713: # <b>cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_6_4</b>
714: </pre></blockquote>
715:
716: [Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs
717: server.]
718: <p>
719: Note that most ports are available as packages on our mirrors. Updated
720: ports for the 6.4 release will be made available if problems arise.
721: <p>
722: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
723: would like to know more, the mailing list
724: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
