1033: <p>
1034: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS checkout of our ports.
1035: As with our complete source tree, our ports tree is available via
1036: <a href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS</a>.
1037: So, in order to keep up to date with the -stable branch, you must make
1038: the <i>ports/</i> tree available on a read-write medium and update the tree
1039: with a command like:
1040:
1041: <blockquote><pre>
1042: # <b>cd /usr/ports</b>
1043: # <b>cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_6_4</b>
1044: </pre></blockquote>
1045:
1046: [Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs
1047: server.]
1048: <p>
1049: Note that most ports are available as packages on our mirrors. Updated
1050: ports for the 6.4 release will be made available if problems arise.
1051: <p>
1052: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
1053: would like to know more, the mailing list
1054: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
