720: <p>
721: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS checkout of our ports.
722: As with our complete source tree, our ports tree is available via
723: <a href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS</a>.
724: So, in order to keep up to date with the -stable branch, you must make
725: the <i>ports/</i> tree available on a read-write medium and update the tree
726: with a command like:
727:
728: <blockquote><pre>
729: # <b>cd /usr/ports</b>
1.11 beck 730: # <b>cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_6_5</b>

732:
733: [Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs
734: server.]
735: <p>
736: Note that most ports are available as packages on our mirrors. Updated
737: ports for the 6.5 release will be made available if problems arise.
738: <p>
739: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
740: would like to know more, the mailing list
741: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
