Sculpt built from current master - availability of packages

Hi Thomas,

for little tweaks of the boot image like that, I usually side step the
depot by building and integrating the affected component directly. This
can be achieved by changing the run script as follows:

--- a/repos/gems/run/sculpt.run
+++ b/repos/gems/run/sculpt.run
@@ -713,6 +713,8 @@ close $fd
 # Create boot image
 #

-append boot_modules { }
+build { drivers/nic }
+
+append boot_modules { nic_drv }

 build_boot_image $boot_modules

---------

This alleviates the need to rebuild any depot content while testing such
changes. See Section 5.5.6. "Accessing depot content from run scripts" -
in particular the paragraph "Selectively overriding depot content" - for
a description of this feature.

Once the work is complete, a version update of the affected depot
content is on order. As pkg/sculpt aggregates src/nic_drv, a new version
of src/nic_drv requires a version update of pkg/sculpt.

Cheers
Norman
