As im setting up my new OpenBSD workstation, I decided to d/l the src.tar.gz and sys.tar.gz files from openbsd and untar them...

Obviously, src.tar.gz goes into /usr/src...simple enough...

My question is about sys.tar.gz: does it go in just /usr or go into /usr/src

Im thinking the latter, but I could be wrong...reason I ask is I was reading up no the latest patches for openbsd, and stemming from problems I had in the past, im wondering if it was because I had sys.tar.gz in the wrong place...

/usr/src


sys is the kernel sources. I typically track stable and use one of the anoncvs mirros to track sources, instead of getting the release tarballs. This is obviously personal preference but something I do none the less.


Anyways if you're interested in that have a looksy here:

Thanks elmore...
I assumed it went there, but I wanted to verify...

That would explain in the past why my patches kept failing... :) sys was in the wrong location...

I'd check out CVS...looks very nice and easy to use...
