+        <link linkend='var-MIRRORS'><filename>MIRRORS</filename></link> entries
+        for source code mirrors.
+        These mirrors provide a fall-back path in case the upstream source

+        <link linkend='var-SRC_URI'><filename>SRC_URI</filename></link>
+        within recipes is unavailable.
