Description Randy Witt 2016-05-05 21:18:33 UTC 
On the "Bitbake variables" page it says that SSTATE_MIRRORS cannot be changed. Since SSTATE_MIRRORS doesn't actually impact the build server and only the sstate fetch location, it shouldn't be restricted.

This is especially true in the case of using toaster in a container versus a persistent build manager.
