Hi again,
sorry for the self reply, but I did some research on the depend action
on how it is used with variants currently on an installed system.
Instead of your proposed changes, I would recommend to just change two
lines within usr/src/ipsdefs/SUNWscxvm/depend_static like:
depend fmri=SUNWlibvirt at 0.5.11-%SOLBRANCHVER% type=require variant.arch=i386
depend fmri=SUNWxvm at 3.1-%SOLBRANCHVER% type=require variant.arch=i386
While I did not explicitly try it out, it should be enough to allow the
package to get installed on SPARC. See my reasoning below why I would
not restrict it to x86, although within Colrado-I none would use it on
SPARC yet.
