Re: Request: add new package to hydra (GNU datamash)

1Hello,

I'm having problems getting the project to build on Hydra (it builds 
successfully on multiple unix systems, so I assume it is hydra/configuration 
related) - perhaps you could help?

After removing the hard-coded path, the latest revision succeeds with the 
"tarball" job,
but fails on all the builds.

Details here:
  http://hydra.nixos.org/eval/1136566

The log of the failed build complains about "perl" not being found:
   http://hydra.nixos.org/build/12569094/nixlog/1/tail-reload

I previously used "/usr/bin/perl", then "/usr/bin/env perl" - and both failed, so I 
changed it to just "perl" (assuming it will be in the $PATH) - but to no avail.

Please note, that the raw log of the "tarball" step does seem to use perl successfully 
(search for "help2man" string, it uses 'perl'):
  http://hydra.nixos.org/build/12569090/nixlog/1/raw

I assume the configuration for "datamash/release.nix" is not sufficient, but 
I'm not sure what to modify.

Any suggestions are welcomed,

Thanks,
 -Assaf.
