727: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the

729: <p>
730: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS checkout of our ports.
731: As with our complete source tree, our ports tree is available via
732: <a href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS</a>.
733: So, in order to keep up to date with the -stable branch, you must make
734: the <i>ports/</i> tree available on a read-write medium and update the tree
735: with a command like:
736:
737: <blockquote><pre>
738: # <b>cd /usr/ports</b>
1.11 beck 739: # <b>cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_6_5</b>

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