We offer a reasonable number of binary pkgsrc packages for every stable release of DragonFly. Look at the [[list|mirrors]] of worldwide mirrors to find a mirror near you carrying binary packages. See the man page of [pkg_radd(1)](http://leaf.dragonflybsd.org/cgi/web-man?command=pkg_radd§ion=ANY) how to install these packages.
+Pkgsrc sources can now be obtained via git instead of CVS, and we recommend that our git mirror be used instead of loading down NetBSD's
+CVS servers. To obtain the pkgsrc tree via git:
+
+ # cd /usr
+ # make pkgsrc-create
+
## Obtaining source via git
Since DragonFly 2.1 the source repository is maintained with git instead of CVS. To clone the sources using git:
# cd /usr
- # make git-clone
+ # make src-create
This will fetch all sources for you from a fast mirror. If the <i>git-clone</i> command is not available update your Makefile to a recent version. If you do not have git installed, install it from `pkgsrc/devel/scmgit`. See [development(7)](http://leaf.dragonflybsd.org/cgi/web-man?command=development§ion=ANY") for further instructions how to work with the repository.
+All release CDs and images also contain a base git repo for pkgsrc and a populated /usr/pkg containing the git tools and may be used to bootstrap pkgsrc support in your system if you desire.

## DragonFly Releases
Releases occur approximately twice a year. DragonFly release branches **only contain bug and security fixes** and are designed for people running production systems who don't want any surprises. Brand-new features often discussed on the mailing lists are typically not in release branches.
