+ In the previous example, the
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-BB_GENERATE_MIRROR_TARBALLS'><filename>BB_GENERATE_MIRROR_TARBALLS</filename></ulink>
+ variable causes the OpenEmbedded build system to generate tarballs
+ of the Git repositories and store them in the
+ <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-DL_DIR'><filename>DL_DIR</filename></ulink>
+ directory.
+ Due to performance reasons, generating and storing these tarballs
+ is not the build system's default behavior.
