The OpenBSD 2.5 Release:
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 2.5/ directory on whichever server you choose.
For more detailed information, see the release README.
Binary Snapshots:
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 snapshots.
If you plan to use a snapshot, you should read the
general description about OpenBSD snapshots.
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.

This is a list of currently known AFS servers:
-
/afs/ualberta.ca/mirror/openbsd/
This is located in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
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.
>ualberta.ca # University of Alberta
129.128.1.131 #file13.ucs.ualberta.ca
129.128.98.17 #mystery.ucs.ualberta.ca
129.128.125.40 #drake-en0.ucs.ualberta.ca
-
/afs/stacken.kth.se/ftp/pub/OpenBSD/
This server is located at the Stacken computer club, Stockholm,
Sweden. Our CellServDB entries are:
>stacken.kth.se # Royal Institute of Technology Computer Club
130.237.234.3 #milko.stacken.kth.se
130.237.234.43 #hot.stacken.kth.se
130.237.237.230 #fishburger.stacken.kth.se
Structural Layout:
The file structure of each FTP/AFS server is roughly:
- .../OpenBSD/2.5/
Where you find our most recent release. (For each architecture,
X11 is included if possible).
- alpha/
- amiga/
- hp300/
- i386/
- mac68k/
- mvme88k/
- pmax/
- powerpc/
- sparc/
- src.tar.gz
Userland sources, which you would place in /usr/src.
(This does not include kernel sources)
- srcsys.tar.gz
The Kernel sources, which you would place in /usr/src/sys.
- ports.tar.gz
The ports sources, which you would place in /usr/ports.
- X11.tar.gz
The XFree86 X11 sources.
- .../OpenBSD/snapshots/
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.
- .../OpenBSD/src/
This is a cvs checkout of our daily source tree for those
who want to access individual files. Normally we recommend
the use of CTM or
AnonCVS instead of mirroring
this location.
- .../OpenBSD/tools/
Various other little bits.
- .../OpenBSD/2.4/
Similar to the 2.5 release described above.. (if you want to install
old stuff)
- .../OpenBSD/2.3/
Similar to the 2.5 release described above.. (if you want to install
even older stuff)
People setting up new FTP/ANONCVS mirrors
will be interested in the following disk space usage estimates for
what is maintained at
ftp://ftp.openbsd.org:/pub/OpenBSD/.
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)
Note that distfiles is used by the ports Makefiles, so that
while ftp.openbsd.org maintains this directory, you may not
need or want to mirror it on an active mirror.
If you add a new FTP mirror site, please contact
the FTP maintainer.
