<para>
Configures the OpenEmbedded build system to search other
mirror locations for prebuilt cache data objects before
building out the data.
This variable works like fetcher
<filename>MIRRORS</filename>/<filename>PREMIRRORS</filename>
and points to the cache locations to check for the shared
objects.
</para>
<para>
You can specify a filesystem directory or a remote URL such
as HTTP or FTP.
The locations you specify need to contain the shared state
cache (sstate-cache) results from previous builds.
The sstate-cache you point to can also be from builds on
other machines.
</para>
<para>
If a mirror uses the same structure as
<link linkend='var-SSTATE_DIR'><filename>SSTATE_DIR</filename></link>,
you need to add
"PATH" at the end as shown in the examples below.
The build system substitues the correct path within the
directory structure.

SSTATE_MIRRORS ?= "\
file://.* http://someserver.tld/share/sstate/PATH \n \
file://.* file:///some/local/dir/sstate/PATH"
