Doc is the documentation, such as the .Fx Handbook. To read more, see: .Pp .Lk https://www.FreeBSD.org/doc/en/books/fdp-primer/ .Pp Ports, described further in .Xr ports 7 , are the way to build, package, and install third party software. To read more, see: .Pp .Lk https://www.FreeBSD.org/doc/en/books/porters-handbook/ .Pp The last one, src, revolves around the source code for the base system, consisting of the kernel, and the libraries and utilities commonly called the world. .Pp The Committer's Guide, describing topics relevant to all committers, can be found at: .Pp .Lk https://www.FreeBSD.org/doc/en/articles/committers-guide/ .Pp .Fx src development takes place in the CURRENT branch in Subversion, located at: .Pp .Lk https://svn.FreeBSD.org/base/head .Pp There is also a read-only GitHub mirror at: .Pp .Lk https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd .Pp Changes are first committed to CURRENT and then usually merged back to STABLE. Every few years the CURRENT branch is renamed to STABLE, and a new CURRENT is branched, with an incremented major version number. Releases are then branched off STABLE and numbered with consecutive minor numbers. .Pp Layout of the source tree is described in .Xr hier 7 . Build instructions can be found in .Xr build 7 and .Xr release 7 . Kernel programming interfaces (KPIs) are documented in section 9 manual pages; use .Ql "apropos -s 9 ''" for a list. Regression test suite is described in .Xr tests 7 . For coding conventions, see .Xr style 9 . .Pp To ask questions regarding development, use the mailing lists, such as freebsd-arch@ and freebsd-hackers@: .Pp .Lk https://lists.FreeBSD.org/ .Pp To get your patches integrated into the main .Fx repository use Phabricator; it is a code review tool that allows other developers to review the changes, suggest improvements, and, eventually, allows them to pick up the change and commit it: .Pp .Lk https://reviews.FreeBSD.org/ .Sh EXAMPLES Check out the CURRENT branch, build it, and install, overwriting the current system: .Bd -literal -offset indent svnlite co https://svn.FreeBSD.org/base/head src cd src -make -j8 buildworld buildkernel installkernel +make -sj8 buildworld buildkernel installkernel shutdown -r now .Ed .Pp After reboot: .Bd -literal -offset indent cd src make -j8 installworld reboot .Ed .Pp Rebuild and reinstall a single piece of userspace, in this case .Xr ls 1 : .Bd -literal -offset indent cd src/bin/ls make clean all install .Ed .Pp Quickly rebuild and reinstall the kernel, only recompiling the files changed since last build; note that this will only work if the full kernel build has been completed in the past, not on a fresh source tree: .Bd -literal -offset indent cd src -make -j8 kernel KERNFAST=1 +make -sj8 kernel KERNFAST=1 .Ed .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr svnlite 1 , .Xr witness 4 , .Xr build 7 , .Xr hier 7 , .Xr release 7 , .Xr locking 9 , .Xr style 9 .Sh HISTORY The .Nm manual page was originally written by .An Matthew Dillon Aq Mt dillon@FreeBSD.org and first appeared in .Fx 5.0 , December 2002. It was since extensively modified by .An Eitan Adler Aq Mt eadler@FreeBSD.org to reflect the repository conversion from .Xr cvs 1 to .Xr svn 1 . It was rewritten from scratch by .An Edward Tomasz Napierala Aq Mt trasz@FreeBSD.org for .Fx 12.0 .
