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

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

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