498: Both of these trees are a regular CVS checkout. Using these trees it
499: is possible to get a head-start on using the anoncvs servers as
500: described <a href="anoncvs.html">here</a>.
501: Using these files
502: results in a much faster initial CVS update than you could expect from
503: a fresh checkout of the full OpenBSD source tree.

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