Hi Norman,
I suspected the reason was something like that, but I think handling it at the launcher level is enough, and that choosing not to copy over all the depot sources is redundant.

I'm not entirely sure why they're hardcoded, but it's easy enough to copy the directory over yourself.
just to clarify, the reason is given in the documentation [1], in the "Runtime Management" Section:
"By default, the depot is initialized such that the Sculpt system accepts software published by Genode's core developers."
My line of thinking is that extending the whitelist of accepted software providers should be a deliberate decision by the user.
In the current version, this can be accomplished by adding a corresponding subdirectory (with the 'download' and 'pubkey' files) to the depot. The templates at /share/depot conveniently contain all sources present in the Genode source repository [2], which can be copied into the depot. Later versions of Sculpt might offer a graphical user interface for this operation.
I was afraid it was something simple like that. Thanks!
