793: Go read the <a href="faq/ports/index.html">ports</a> page
794: if you know nothing about ports
795: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
796: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
797: OpenBSD ports system.
798: <p>
799: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS checkout of our ports.
800: As with our complete source tree, our ports tree is available via
801: <a href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS</a>.
802: So, in order to keep up to date with the -stable branch, you must make
803: the <i>ports/</i> tree available on a read-write medium and update the tree
804: with a command like:
805:
806: <blockquote><pre>
807: # <b>cd /usr/ports</b>
808: # <b>cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_6_4</b>
809: </pre></blockquote>
810:
811: [Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs
812: server.]
813: <p>
814: Note that most ports are available as packages on our mirrors. Updated
815: ports for the 6.4 release will be made available if problems arise.
816: <p>
817: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
818: would like to know more, the mailing list
819: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
