-      <para>It is possible to mirror the GNATS database by adding this line
-	to your <filename>supfile</filename>. Note that since
-	GNATS is not under CVS control it has no tag, so if you are adding
-	it to your existing <filename>supfile</filename> it should appear
-	before any <quote>tag=</quote> entry as these remain active once set.</para>
+      <para>It is possible to mirror the GNATS database by installing
+	<application>rsync</application> found under <filename
+	 role="package">net/rsync</filename> in the portstree, and
+	 executing the following:</para>
 
-	<programlisting>gnats release=current prefix=/usr</programlisting>
+	<screen>&prompt.user; <userinput>rsync -va rsync://bit0.us-west.freebsd.org/FreeBSD-bit/gnats .</userinput></screen>
 
-	<para>This will place the FreeBSD GNATS tree in
-	  <filename>/usr/gnats</filename>.  You can use a
-	  <emphasis>refuse</emphasis> file to control which categories to
-	  receive.  For example, to only receive <literal>docs</literal> PRs,
-	  put this line in
-	  <filename>/usr/local/etc/cvsup/sup/refuse</filename><footnote>
-	    <para>The precise path depends on the <literal>*default
-		base</literal> setting in your
