455 The shared state directory (<filename>SSTATE_DIR</filename>) is
456 organized into two-character subdirectories, where the subdirectory
457 names are based on the first two characters of the hash.
458 If the shared state directory structure for a mirror has the
459 same structure as <filename>SSTATE_DIR</filename>, you must
460 specify "PATH" as part of the URI to enable the build system
461 to map to the appropriate subdirectory.
