1002: So, in order to keep up to date with the -stable branch, you must make
1003: the <i>ports/</i> tree available on a read-write medium and update the tree
1004: with a command like:
1005: <blockquote><pre>
1.7 bentley 1006: # <kbd>cd /usr/ports</kbd>
1.15 jsg 1007: # <kbd>cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_6_6</kbd>

1.1 beck 1010: [Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs
1011: server.]
1012: <p>
1013: Note that most ports are available as packages on our mirrors. Updated
1014: ports for the 6.6 release will be made available if problems arise.
1015: <p>
1016: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
1017: would like to know more, the mailing list
1018: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
