502: Using these files
503: results in a much faster initial CVS update than you could expect from
504: a fresh checkout of the full OpenBSD source tree.

510: <h3>Ports Tree</h3>
511: <p>
512: A ports tree archive is also provided. To extract:
513: <blockquote><pre>
514: # <kbd>cd /usr</kbd>
515: # <kbd>tar xvfz /tmp/ports.tar.gz</kbd>
516: </pre></blockquote>
517: <p>
518: Go read the <a href="faq/ports/index.html">ports</a> page
519: if you know nothing about ports
520: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
521: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
522: OpenBSD ports system.
523: <p>
524: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS checkout of our ports.
525: As with our complete source tree, our ports tree is available via
526: <a href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS</a>.
527: So, in order to keep up to date with the -stable branch, you must make
528: the <i>ports/</i> tree available on a read-write medium and update the tree
529: with a command like:
530: <blockquote><pre>
531: # <kbd>cd /usr/ports</kbd>
532: # <kbd>cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_7_2</kbd>
533: </pre></blockquote>
534: <p>
535: [Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs
536: server.]
537: <p>
538: Note that most ports are available as packages on our mirrors. Updated
539: ports for the 7.2 release will be made available if problems arise.
540: <p>
541: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
542: would like to know more, the mailing list
543: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
