1.1 beck 987: This file contains all the kernel sources you need to rebuild kernels.
988: To extract:

997: described <a href="anoncvs.html">here</a>.

1021: As with our complete source tree, our ports tree is available via

1023: So, in order to keep up to date with the -stable branch, you must make
1024: the <i>ports/</i> tree available on a read-write medium and update the tree
1025: with a command like:
1026: <blockquote><pre>
1.7 bentley 1027: # <kbd>cd /usr/ports</kbd>
1.15 jsg 1028: # <kbd>cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_6_6</kbd>
1.1 beck 1029: </pre></blockquote>
1.7 bentley 1030: <p>
1.1 beck 1031: [Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs
1032: server.]
1033: <p>
1034: Note that most ports are available as packages on our mirrors. Updated
1035: ports for the 6.6 release will be made available if problems arise.
1036: <p>
1037: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
1038: would like to know more, the mailing list
1039: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
