717: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the

719: <p>
720: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS checkout of our ports.
721: As with our complete source tree, our ports tree is available via
722: <a href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS</a>.
723: So, in order to keep up to date with the -stable branch, you must make
724: the <i>ports/</i> tree available on a read-write medium and update the tree
725: with a command like:
726:
727: <blockquote><pre>
728: # <b>cd /usr/ports</b>
729: # <b>cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_6_4</b>

731:
732: [Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs
733: server.]
734: <p>
735: Note that most ports are available as packages on our mirrors. Updated
736: ports for the 6.4 release will be made available if problems arise.
737: <p>
738: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
739: would like to know more, the mailing list
740: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
