+     <para>Due to very high requirements of bandwidth, storage and
+       adminstration the &os; Project has decided not to allow public
+       mirrors of packages.  For sites with lots of machines, it might
+       be advantagous to run a caching HTTP proxy for the &man.pkg.8;
+       process.  Alternatively specific packages and their dependencies
+       can be fetched by running something like the following:</para>
+
+     <screen>&prompt.user; <userinput>pkg fetch -d -o <replaceable>/usr/local/mirror</replaceable> <replaceable>vim</replaceable></userinput></screen>
+
+     <para>Once those packages have been fetched, the repository metadata must be generated by running:</para>
+
+     <screen>&prompt.user; <userinput>pkg repo <replaceable>/usr/local/mirror</replaceable></userinput></screen>
+
+     <para>Once the packages have been fetched and the metadata for the
+       repository has been generated, serve the packages up to the
+       client machines via HTTP.  For additional information see the
+       man pages for &man.pkg.8;, specifically the pkg-repo(8) page.
