16 Two kinds of mirrors exist: pre-mirrors and regular mirrors.
17 The
18 <a class="link" href="../ref-manual/var-PREMIRRORS.html" target="_self"><code class="filename">PREMIRRORS</code></a>
19 and
20 <a class="link" href="../ref-manual/var-MIRRORS.html" target="_self"><code class="filename">MIRRORS</code></a>
21 variables point to these, respectively.
22 BitBake checks pre-mirrors before looking upstream for any
23 source files.
24 Pre-mirrors are appropriate when you have a shared directory
25 that is not a directory defined by the
26 <a class="link" href="../ref-manual/var-DL_DIR.html" target="_self"><code class="filename">DL_DIR</code></a>
27 variable.
28 A Pre-mirror typically points to a shared directory that is
29 local to your organization.

32 Regular mirrors can be any site across the Internet that is
33 used as an alternative location for source code should the
34 primary site not be functioning for some reason or another.
