901: This file contains everything you need except for the kernel sources,

903: To extract:
904:
905: <blockquote><pre>
906: # <b>mkdir -p /usr/src</b>
907: # <b>cd /usr/src</b>
908: # <b>tar xvfz /tmp/src.tar.gz</b>
909: </pre></blockquote>
910:
911: <tt>sys.tar.gz</tt> contains a source archive starting at <tt>/usr/src/sys</tt>.
912: This file contains all the kernel sources you need to rebuild kernels.
913: To extract:
914:
915: <blockquote><pre>
916: # <b>mkdir -p /usr/src/sys</b>
917: # <b>cd /usr/src</b>
918: # <b>tar xvfz /tmp/sys.tar.gz</b>

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

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