893: This file contains everything you need except for the kernel sources,
894: which are in a separate archive.
895: To extract:
896:
897: <blockquote><pre>
898: # <b>mkdir -p /usr/src</b>
899: # <b>cd /usr/src</b>
900: # <b>tar xvfz /tmp/src.tar.gz</b>
901: </pre></blockquote>
902:
903: <tt>sys.tar.gz</tt> contains a source archive starting at <tt>/usr/src/sys</tt>.
904: This file contains all the kernel sources you need to rebuild kernels.
905: To extract:
906:
907: <blockquote><pre>
908: # <b>mkdir -p /usr/src/sys</b>
909: # <b>cd /usr/src</b>
910: # <b>tar xvfz /tmp/sys.tar.gz</b>

913: Both of these trees are a regular CVS checkout. Using these trees it
914: is possible to get a head-start on using the anoncvs servers as
915: described <a href="anoncvs.html">here</a>.

928: # <b>cd /usr</b>
929: # <b>tar xvfz /tmp/ports.tar.gz</b>

931:
932: Go read the <a href="faq/ports/index.html">ports</a> page
933: if you know nothing about ports
934: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
935: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
936: OpenBSD ports system.
937: <p>
938: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS checkout of our ports.
939: As with our complete source tree, our ports tree is available via
940: <a href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS</a>.
941: So, in order to keep up to date with the -stable branch, you must make
942: the <i>ports/</i> tree available on a read-write medium and update the tree
943: with a command like:
944:
945: <blockquote><pre>
946: # <b>cd /usr/ports</b>
947: # <b>cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_6_4</b>
948: </pre></blockquote>
949:
950: [Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs
951: server.]
952: <p>
953: Note that most ports are available as packages on our mirrors. Updated
954: ports for the 6.4 release will be made available if problems arise.
955: <p>
956: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
957: would like to know more, the mailing list
958: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
