585: <h3>Notes about the source code</h3>
586: <p>
587: <code>src.tar.gz</code> contains a source archive starting at <code>/usr/src</code>.
588: This file contains everything you need except for the kernel sources,
589: which are in a separate archive.
590: To extract:
591: <blockquote><pre>
592: # <kbd>mkdir -p /usr/src</kbd>
593: # <kbd>cd /usr/src</kbd>
594: # <kbd>tar xvfz /tmp/src.tar.gz</kbd>
595: </pre></blockquote>
596: <p>
597: <code>sys.tar.gz</code> contains a source archive starting at <code>/usr/src/sys</code>.
598: This file contains all the kernel sources you need to rebuild kernels.
599: To extract:
600: <blockquote><pre>
601: # <kbd>mkdir -p /usr/src/sys</kbd>
602: # <kbd>cd /usr/src</kbd>
603: # <kbd>tar xvfz /tmp/sys.tar.gz</kbd>
604: </pre></blockquote>
605: <p>
606: Both of these trees are a regular CVS checkout. Using these trees it
607: is possible to get a head-start on using the anoncvs servers as
608: described <a href="anoncvs.html">here</a>.
609: Using these files
610: results in a much faster initial CVS update than you could expect from
611: a fresh checkout of the full OpenBSD source tree.

617: <h3>Ports Tree</h3>
618: <p>
619: A ports tree archive is also provided. To extract:
620: <blockquote><pre>
621: # <kbd>cd /usr</kbd>
622: # <kbd>tar xvfz /tmp/ports.tar.gz</kbd>
623: </pre></blockquote>
624: <p>
625: Go read the <a href="faq/ports/index.html">ports</a> page
626: if you know nothing about ports
627: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
628: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
629: OpenBSD ports system.
630: <p>
631: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS checkout of our ports.
632: As with our complete source tree, our ports tree is available via
633: <a href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS</a>.
634: So, in order to keep up to date with the -stable branch, you must make
635: the <i>ports/</i> tree available on a read-write medium and update the tree
636: with a command like:
637: <blockquote><pre>
638: # <kbd>cd /usr/ports</kbd>
639: # <kbd>cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_7_0</kbd>
640: </pre></blockquote>
641: <p>
642: [Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs
643: server.]
644: <p>
645: Note that most ports are available as packages on our mirrors. Updated
646: ports for the 7.0 release will be made available if problems arise.
647: <p>
648: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
649: would like to know more, the mailing list
650: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
