+   :term:`PACKAGE_NO_LOCALE`
+      The :term:`PACKAGE_NO_LOCALE` variable can be set to "1" to prevent the
+      :term:`OpenEmbedded Build System` from splitting the locales found in the
+      :term:`PKGD` directory into split packages.
+
+      For example, the ``quilt`` recipe automatically produces split packages
+      after the :ref:`ref-tasks-package` task is run. Taking a look inside the
+      :term:`WORKDIR` directory of ``quilt``:

+      Setting :term:`PACKAGE_NO_LOCALE` to "1" would produce the following
+      packages:

+         quilt-src

[PATCH 2/2] ref-manual/variables.rst: document the PACKAGEFUNCS variable

[Antonin Godard]

Added by commit 4b46c1f6e891 ("Initial population") in OE-Core. This
completes the variables used during do_package, as
PACKAGE_PREPROCESS_FUNCS and PACKAGESPLITFUNCS are already documented.
