<h3><font color=#0000e0>The OpenBSD 2.5 Release:</font></h3>
<p>
The most recent OpenBSD release is 2.5. The files are available on
a number of FTP and AFS mirror servers. For the 2.5 release, look in
the <strong>2.5/</strong> directory on whichever server you choose.
For more detailed information, <a href=25.html>see the release README</a>.
</p>
<h3><font color=#0000e0>Binary Snapshots:</font></h3>
<p>
Binary snapshots will be made available from time to time on the ftp mirrors.
A snapshot is a release build done by a developer as a test of the system.
These snapshot builds might work OK or... they might not. The snapshots
are made available for people who have specifically requested a build
based on more recent sources.
The snapshots are available on each of the FTP servers in the
directory <strong>snapshots</strong>.
If you plan to use a snapshot, you should read the <a href=snapshots.html>
general description about OpenBSD snapshots</a>.
</p>
<p>
<strong>
NOTE: you cannot fetch binaries directly from cvs.OpenBSD.org or
OpenBSD.org but must use a mirror site. The main OpenBSD machines are
only on a small network pipe in Canada, and that bandwidth is used
primarily by the developers.

<h3><font color=#0000e0><a name=afs>AFS:</a></font></h3>
This is a list of currently known AFS servers:<p>

If you can't see it from your AFS site, you may
need to have your local AFS admins put in the
CellServDB entries for ualberta.ca and make it available for you.

<h3><font color=#0000e0>Structural Layout:</a></font></h3>
<p>
The file structure of each FTP/AFS server is roughly:
</p>
<p>
<ul>
<li><strong>.../OpenBSD/2.5/</strong><br>
Where you find our most recent release. (For each architecture,
X11 is included if possible).
<ul>
<li><strong>alpha/</strong>
<li><strong>amiga/</strong>
<li><strong>hp300/</strong>
<li><strong>i386/</strong>
<li><strong>mac68k/</strong>
<li><strong>mvme88k/</strong>
<li><strong>pmax/</strong>
<li><strong>powerpc/</strong>
<li><strong>sparc/</strong>
<li><strong>src.tar.gz<br></strong>
Userland sources, which you would place in /usr/src.
(This does not include kernel sources)
<li><strong>srcsys.tar.gz<br></strong>
The Kernel sources, which you would place in /usr/src/sys.
<li><strong>ports.tar.gz<br></strong>
The ports sources, which you would place in /usr/ports.
<li><strong>X11.tar.gz<br></strong>
The XFree86 X11 sources.
</ul>
<p>
<li><strong>.../OpenBSD/snapshots/</strong><br>
For our major architectures, we tend to build mini releases
of unknown stability and quality about every month or so.
This is where we place those test releases.
<p>
<li><strong>.../OpenBSD/src/</strong><br>
This is a cvs checkout of our daily source tree for those
who want to access individual files. Normally we recommend
the use of <a href=ctm.html>CTM</a> or
<a href=anoncvs.html>AnonCVS</a> instead of mirroring
this location.
<p>
<li><strong>.../OpenBSD/tools/</strong><br>
Various other little bits.
<li><strong>.../OpenBSD/2.4/</strong><br>
Similar to the 2.5 release described above.. (if you want to install
old stuff)
<li><strong>.../OpenBSD/2.3/</strong><br>
Similar to the 2.5 release described above.. (if you want to install
even older stuff)
</ul>
</p>
<p>
People setting up new FTP/<a href=anoncvs.html>ANONCVS</a> mirrors
will be interested in the following disk space usage estimates for
what is maintained at
<A HREF="ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/">
<tt>ftp://ftp.openbsd.org:/pub/OpenBSD/</tt></A>.
<pre>
current could be
pub/OpenBSD/2.3 0.9GB 0.9GB (OpenBSD 2.3 release,
pub/OpenBSD/2.4 1.0GB 1.0GB (OpenBSD 2.4 release)
pub/OpenBSD/2.5 1.1GB 1.1GB (OpenBSD 2.5 release)
pub/OpenBSD/snapshots 1.1GB 1.1GB (current snapshots, normally >= the
last distribution in size)
pub/OpenBSD/src .4GB .5GB (ftpable src tree, checked out from
anoncvs nightly)
pub/OpenBSD/distfiles .5GB 1.0GB (Ports distribution files) -----------------
pub/OpenBSD/ 5.0GB 5.6GB (total ftp mirror disk usage)
anoncvs .5GB 1.0GB (anoncvs disk space usage)
-----------------
5.5GB 6.6GB (total mirror disk usage)
</pre>
</p>
Note that <tt>distfiles</tt> is used by the ports Makefiles, so that
while <tt>ftp.openbsd.org</tt> maintains this directory, you may not
need or want to mirror it on an active mirror.
<p>
If you add a new FTP mirror site, please contact
<a href=mailto:deraadt@theos.com> the FTP maintainer</a>.
