The scheme in Solaris/OpenSolaris is to install 64 bit libs into "64" directories which make the possibility of a single package with both 32/64 bit versions of a library or binary.
The question is: when we build a package, should we attempt to build both 32 and 64 bit into the same package or should we do some ugly things like adding -64 to 64-bit packages? I vote for keeping both versions in the same package which raises an important question regarding upload policy: do we enforce that 64 bit versions of libraries exist when a package contains 32 bit libs? If we don't and a previous version of a package had 64 bit libs and a newer one does not, installing the new version could badly break the system. On the other hand, there may be things that do not compile cleanly under 64 bit. Erast: are there any instances of 32 bit only binaries/libraries in the SUNW* packages?
