1032: <p>
1033: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS checkout of our ports.
1034: As with our complete source tree, our ports tree is available via
1035: <a href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS</a>.
1036: So, in order to keep up to date with the -stable branch, you must make
1037: the <i>ports/</i> tree available on a read-write medium and update the tree
1038: with a command like:
1039:
1040: <blockquote><pre>
1041: # <b>cd /usr/ports</b>
1042: # <b>cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_6_4</b>
1043: </pre></blockquote>
1044:
1045: [Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs
1046: server.]
1047: <p>
1048: Note that most ports are available as packages on our mirrors. Updated
1049: ports for the 6.4 release will be made available if problems arise.
1050: <p>
1051: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
1052: would like to know more, the mailing list
1053: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
