847:
848: <tt>src.tar.gz</tt> contains a source archive starting at <tt>/usr/src</tt>.
849: This file contains everything you need except for the kernel sources,
850: which are in a separate archive.
851: To extract:
852:
853: <blockquote><pre>
854: # <b>mkdir -p /usr/src</b>
855: # <b>cd /usr/src</b>
856: # <b>tar xvfz /tmp/src.tar.gz</b>
857: </pre></blockquote>
858:
859: <tt>sys.tar.gz</tt> contains a source archive starting at <tt>/usr/src/sys</tt>.
860: This file contains all the kernel sources you need to rebuild kernels.
861: To extract:
862:
863: <blockquote><pre>
864: # <b>mkdir -p /usr/src/sys</b>
865: # <b>cd /usr/src</b>
866: # <b>tar xvfz /tmp/sys.tar.gz</b>
867: </pre></blockquote>

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

883: <blockquote><pre>
884: # <b>cd /usr</b>
885: # <b>tar xvfz /tmp/ports.tar.gz</b>
886: </pre></blockquote>
887:
888: Go read the <a href="faq/ports/index.html">ports</a> page
889: if you know nothing about ports
890: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
891: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
892: OpenBSD ports system.
893: <p>
894: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS checkout of our ports.
895: As with our complete source tree, our ports tree is available via
896: <a href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS</a>.
897: So, in order to keep up to date with the -stable branch, you must make
898: the <i>ports/</i> tree available on a read-write medium and update the tree
899: with a command like:
900:
901: <blockquote><pre>
902: # <b>cd /usr/ports</b>
903: # <b>cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_6_4</b>
904: </pre></blockquote>
905:
906: [Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs
907: server.]
908: <p>
909: Note that most ports are available as packages on our mirrors. Updated
910: ports for the 6.4 release will be made available if problems arise.
911: <p>
912: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
913: would like to know more, the mailing list
914: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
