1.7 bentley 967: <p>
968: <code>sys.tar.gz</code> contains a source archive starting at <code>/usr/src/sys</code>.
1.1 beck 969: This file contains all the kernel sources you need to rebuild kernels.
970: To extract:

978: is possible to get a head-start on using the anoncvs servers as
979: described <a href="anoncvs.html">here</a>.
980: Using these files
981: results in a much faster initial CVS update than you could expect from
982: a fresh checkout of the full OpenBSD source tree.

1001: <p>
1002: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS checkout of our ports.
1003: As with our complete source tree, our ports tree is available via
1004: <a href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS</a>.
1005: So, in order to keep up to date with the -stable branch, you must make
1006: the <i>ports/</i> tree available on a read-write medium and update the tree
1007: with a command like:
1008: <blockquote><pre>
1.7 bentley 1009: # <kbd>cd /usr/ports</kbd>
1.15 jsg 1010: # <kbd>cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_6_6</kbd>

1.7 bentley 1012: <p>
1.1 beck 1013: [Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs
1014: server.]
1015: <p>
1016: Note that most ports are available as packages on our mirrors. Updated
1017: ports for the 6.6 release will be made available if problems arise.
1018: <p>
1019: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
1020: would like to know more, the mailing list
1021: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
