#### 4.1.1.1. SSTATE_MIRRORS

The shared state cache (sstate-cache) as pointed to by `SSTATE_DIR` by default now has two-character subdirectories to prevent there being an issue with too many files in the same directory. Also, native sstate-cache packages will go into a subdirectory named using the distro ID string. If you copy the newly structured sstate-cache to a mirror location (either local or remote) and then point to it in `SSTATE_MIRRORS`, you need to append "PATH" to the end of the mirror URL so that the path used by BitBake before the mirror substitution is appended to the path used to access the mirror. Here is an example:

         SSTATE_MIRRORS = "file://.* http://someserver.tld/share/sstate/PATH"
