712: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
713: OpenBSD ports system.
714: <p>
715: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS checkout of our ports.
716: As with our complete source tree, our ports tree is available via
717: <a href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS</a>.
718: So, in order to keep up to date with the -stable branch, you must make
719: the <i>ports/</i> tree available on a read-write medium and update the tree
720: with a command like:
721:
722: <blockquote><pre>
723: # <b>cd /usr/ports</b>
1.11 beck 724: # <b>cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_6_5</b>
1.1 beck 725: </pre></blockquote>
726:
727: [Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs
728: server.]
729: <p>
730: Note that most ports are available as packages on our mirrors. Updated
731: ports for the 6.5 release will be made available if problems arise.
732: <p>
733: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
734: would like to know more, the mailing list
735: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
