933: <h3>Notes about the source code</h3>
934: <p>
935: <code>src.tar.gz</code> contains a source archive starting at <code>/usr/src</code>.
936: This file contains everything you need except for the kernel sources,
937: which are in a separate archive.
938: To extract:
939: <blockquote><pre>
940: # <kbd>mkdir -p /usr/src</kbd>
941: # <kbd>cd /usr/src</kbd>
942: # <kbd>tar xvfz /tmp/src.tar.gz</kbd>
943: </pre></blockquote>
944: <p>
945: <code>sys.tar.gz</code> contains a source archive starting at <code>/usr/src/sys</code>.
946: This file contains all the kernel sources you need to rebuild kernels.
947: To extract:
948: <blockquote><pre>
949: # <kbd>mkdir -p /usr/src/sys</kbd>
950: # <kbd>cd /usr/src</kbd>
951: # <kbd>tar xvfz /tmp/sys.tar.gz</kbd>
952: </pre></blockquote>
953: <p>
954: Both of these trees are a regular CVS checkout. Using these trees it
955: is possible to get a head-start on using the anoncvs servers as
956: described <a href="anoncvs.html">here</a>.
957: Using these files
958: results in a much faster initial CVS update than you could expect from
959: a fresh checkout of the full OpenBSD source tree.

967: A ports tree archive is also provided. To extract:

970: # <kbd>tar xvfz /tmp/ports.tar.gz</kbd>
971: </pre></blockquote>
972: <p>
973: Go read the <a href="faq/ports/index.html">ports</a> page
974: if you know nothing about ports
975: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
976: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
977: OpenBSD ports system.
978: <p>
979: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS checkout of our ports.
980: As with our complete source tree, our ports tree is available via
981: <a href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS</a>.
982: So, in order to keep up to date with the -stable branch, you must make
983: the <i>ports/</i> tree available on a read-write medium and update the tree
984: with a command like:
985: <blockquote><pre>
986: # <kbd>cd /usr/ports</kbd>
987: # <kbd>cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_7_0</kbd>
988: </pre></blockquote>
989: <p>
990: [Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs
991: server.]
992: <p>
993: Note that most ports are available as packages on our mirrors. Updated
994: ports for the 7.0 release will be made available if problems arise.
995: <p>
996: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
997: would like to know more, the mailing list
998: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
