502: So, in order to keep up to date with the -stable branch, you must make
503: the <i>ports/</i> tree available on a read-write medium and update the tree
504: with a command like:
505:
506: <blockquote><pre>
507: # <b>cd /usr/ports</b>
508: # <b>cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_6_5</b>
509: </pre></blockquote>
510:
511: [Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs
512: server.]
513: <p>
514: Note that most ports are available as packages on our mirrors. Updated
515: ports for the 6.6 release will be made available if problems arise.
516: <p>
517: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
518: would like to know more, the mailing list
519: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
