[yocto] Disabling PREMIRRORS and upstream sources

[Rifenbark, Scott M]

Jon, 

Here is a response from Paul Eggleton that I got for the question via a separate email thread:

> Is there a simple way to disable the use of PREMIRRORS and MIRRORS

I guess the easiest thing would be just to set PREMIRRORS and MIRRORS to "" in the recipe.

Cheers,
Paul

Scott
