SPARC: 64-bit Package Changes
In previous Solaris releases, the Solaris software was delivered in separate packages for 32-bit components and 64-bit components. Starting with the Solaris 10 3/05 release, packaging has been simplified with the delivery of most 32-bit components and 64-bit components in a single package. The combined packages retain the names of the original 32-bit packages, and the 64-bit packages are no longer delivered.
The removal of the 64-bit packages simplifies installation and increases performance:
Reduces the number of packages, which simplifies Custom JumpStart scripts that contain lists of packages
Simplifies the packaging system with only one package that groups software functions
Reduces installation time because fewer packages are installed
The 64-bit packages are renamed with the following conventions:
If a 64-bit package has a 32-bit counterpart, the 64-bit package is named with the 32-bit package name. For example, a 64-bit library such as /usr/lib/sparcv9/libc.so.1 previously would have been delivered in SUNWcslx, but now is delivered in SUNWcsl. The 64-bit SUNWcslx package is no longer delivered.
If a package does not have a 32-bit counterpart, the “x” suffix is removed from the name. For example, SUNW1394x becomes SUNW1394.
This change means that you might need to modify your custom JumpStart script or other package installation scripts to remove references to the 64-bit packages.

seeded-in-ubuntu(1) General Commands Manual seeded-in-ubuntu(1)
NAME
seeded-in-ubuntu - Determine whether a package is safe to upload during a freeze
SYNOPSIS
seeded-in-ubuntu [options] package...
DESCRIPTION
Lists all the current daily images containing the specified packages. Or whether the package is part of the supported seed.
If it isn't on an image, it should be safe to upload. During the final freeze, one should avoid packages in the supported seed too.
An index of the current manifests is downloaded from UbuntuWire.
OPTIONS
-b, --binary
The packages specified are binary packages. This is faster than source packages, as otherwise we must query LP to determine the
binary packages that every specified source package builds.
-u URL, --data-url=URL
URL for index of seeded packages. Default: UbuntuWire's service at http://qa.ubuntuwire.org/ubuntu-seeded-packages/seeded.json.gz.
-h, --help
Display a help message and exit
EXAMPLES
All the images that contain unity:
seeded-in-ubuntu -b unity
