CGI.pm was removed from Perl core in v5.22, breaking the gitweb.cgi
script and thus NixOS' services.lighttpd.gitweb. Nixpkgs switched to
Perl 5.22 with a85ba820a409c84d97ca0 ("perl: Make 5.22 the default").
Fix it by bringing in the Perl CGI module (and dependency HTMLParser).
The closure size of "nix-build -A git" increase by 1 MiB, to 201 MiB.
Nixpkgs is a collection of packages for the Nix package manager. It is periodically built and tested by the hydra build daemon as so-called channels. To get channel information via git, add nixpkgs-channels as a remote:
% git remote add channels git://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs-channels.git
For stability and maximum binary package support, it is recommended to maintain
custom changes on top of one of the channels, e.g. nixos-16.03 for the latest
release and nixos-unstable for the latest successful build of master:
% git remote update channels
% git rebase channels/nixos-16.03
For pull-requests, please rebase onto nixpkgs master.
NixOS linux distribution source code is located inside
nixos/ folder.
