496: <code>sys.tar.gz</code> contains a source archive starting at <code>/usr/src/sys</code>.
497: This file contains all the kernel sources you need to rebuild kernels.
498: To extract:
499: <blockquote><pre>
500: # <kbd>mkdir -p /usr/src/sys</kbd>
501: # <kbd>cd /usr/src</kbd>
502: # <kbd>tar xvfz /tmp/sys.tar.gz</kbd>

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

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