703: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
704: OpenBSD ports system.
705: <p>
706: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS checkout of our ports.
707: As with our complete source tree, our ports tree is available via
708: <a href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS</a>.
709: So, in order to keep up to date with the -stable branch, you must make
710: the <i>ports/</i> tree available on a read-write medium and update the tree
711: with a command like:
712:
713: <blockquote><pre>
714: # <b>cd /usr/ports</b>
715: # <b>cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_6_4</b>
716: </pre></blockquote>
717:
718: [Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs
719: server.]
720: <p>
721: Note that most ports are available as packages on our mirrors. Updated
722: ports for the 6.4 release will be made available if problems arise.
723: <p>
724: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
725: would like to know more, the mailing list
726: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
