1.1 beck 1085: Go read the <a href="faq/ports/index.html">ports</a> page
1086: if you know nothing about ports
1087: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
1088: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
1089: OpenBSD ports system.
1090: <p>
1091: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS checkout of our ports.
1092: As with our complete source tree, our ports tree is available via
1093: <a href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS</a>.
1094: So, in order to keep up to date with the -stable branch, you must make
1095: the <i>ports/</i> tree available on a read-write medium and update the tree
1096: with a command like:
1097: <blockquote><pre>
1.7 bentley 1098: # <kbd>cd /usr/ports</kbd>
1.15 jsg 1099: # <kbd>cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_6_6</kbd>
1.1 beck 1100: </pre></blockquote>
1.7 bentley 1101: <p>
1.1 beck 1102: [Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs
1103: server.]
1104: <p>
1105: Note that most ports are available as packages on our mirrors. Updated
1106: ports for the 6.6 release will be made available if problems arise.
1107: <p>
1108: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
1109: would like to know more, the mailing list
1110: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
