+ build system gets source code.
+ When the build system searches for source code, it first
+ tries the local download directory.
+ If that location fails, the build system tries locations
+ defined by
+ <link linkend='var-PREMIRRORS'><filename>PREMIRRORS</filename></link>,
+ the upstream source, and then locations specified by
+ <filename>MIRRORS</filename> in that order.
