No - they're part of oi-userland, via an ancient tarball from the old
OpenSolaris JDS consolidation:

https://github.com/OpenIndiana/oi-userland/blob/oi/hipster/components/desktop/desktop-cache/desktop-cache.p5m
https://github.com/OpenIndiana/oi-userland/blob/7c1cd7a0dd77ba0db18bb7b513ba643de6349451/components/desktop/desktop-cache/patches/01-python.patch

Both Tribblix & Solaris got rid of find_newer:

https://github.com/oracle/solaris-userland/commit/ba967091f5e75913a3a273291882008516c0a239

In Solaris, I also got rid of the separate desktop-cache package and moved
the various SMF scripts into the packages for the libraries that build & use
them:
