How to upgrade

If you already have an OpenBSD 7.9 system, and do not desire to reinstall, upgrade instructions and direction can be established in the Upgrade Guide.


Notes concerning the origin code

src.tar.gz contains a origin archive starting at /usr/src. This document contains everything you need apart from for the kernel sources, which are in a distinct archive. To extract:

 # mkdir -p /usr/src # cd /usr/src # tar xvfz /tmp/src.tar.gz 

sys.tar.gz contains a origin archive starting at /usr/src/sys. This document contains all the kernel sources you need to rebuild kernels. To extract:

 # mkdir -p /usr/src/sys # cd /usr/src # tar xvfz /tmp/sys.tar.gz 

Both of these trees are a regular CVS checkout. Using these trees it is imaginable to get a head-start on using the anoncvs servers as described here. Using these files results in a much faster first CVS update than you could anticipate from a caller checkout of the complete OpenBSD origin tree.


Ports Tree

A ports tree archive is additionally provided. To extract:

 # cd /usr # tar xvfz /tmp/ports.tar.gz 

Go peruse the ports page if you cognize nothing concerning ports at this point. This content is not a manual of how to use ports. Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the person on the OpenBSD ports system.

The ports/ directory represents a CVS checkout of our ports. As alongside our complete origin tree, our ports tree is accessible via AnonCVS. So, in command to keep up to date alongside the -stable branch, you must make the ports/ tree accessible on a read-write average and update the tree with a command like:
