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

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