775: This file contains everything you need except for the kernel sources,
776: which are in a separate archive.
777: To extract:
778:
779: <blockquote><pre>
780: # <b>mkdir -p /usr/src</b>
781: # <b>cd /usr/src</b>
782: # <b>tar xvfz /tmp/src.tar.gz</b>
783: </pre></blockquote>
784:
785: <tt>sys.tar.gz</tt> contains a source archive starting at <tt>/usr/src/sys</tt>.
786: This file contains all the kernel sources you need to rebuild kernels.
787: To extract:
788:
789: <blockquote><pre>
790: # <b>mkdir -p /usr/src/sys</b>
791: # <b>cd /usr/src</b>
792: # <b>tar xvfz /tmp/sys.tar.gz</b>
793: </pre></blockquote>

795: Both of these trees are a regular CVS checkout. Using these trees it
796: is possible to get a head-start on using the anoncvs servers as
797: described <a href="anoncvs.html">here</a>.
798: Using these files
799: results in a much faster initial CVS update than you could expect from
800: a fresh checkout of the full OpenBSD source tree.

807: A ports tree archive is also provided. To extract:
808:
809: <blockquote><pre>
810: # <b>cd /usr</b>
811: # <b>tar xvfz /tmp/ports.tar.gz</b>

814: Go read the <a href="faq/ports/index.html">ports</a> page
815: if you know nothing about ports
816: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
817: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
818: OpenBSD ports system.
819: <p>
820: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS checkout of our ports.
821: As with our complete source tree, our ports tree is available via
822: <a href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS</a>.
823: So, in order to keep up to date with the -stable branch, you must make
824: the <i>ports/</i> tree available on a read-write medium and update the tree
825: with a command like:
826:
827: <blockquote><pre>
828: # <b>cd /usr/ports</b>
829: # <b>cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_6_4</b>
830: </pre></blockquote>
831:
832: [Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs
833: server.]
834: <p>
835: Note that most ports are available as packages on our mirrors. Updated
836: ports for the 6.4 release will be made available if problems arise.
837: <p>
838: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
839: would like to know more, the mailing list
840: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
