hard times with nimble build dependencies and No SSL/TLS CA certificates found

[aphor]

Description

nimble build tries to download a resource from https://github... URL, but can't because it fails to validate the cert because No SSL/TLS CA certificates found

Nim Version

$ nim -v
Nim Compiler Version 2.0.2 [FreeBSD: amd64]
Compiled at 2024-04-10
Copyright (c) 2006-2023 by Andreas Rumpf

active boot switches: -d:release

This is installed from the FreeBSD 13 package repository.

Current Output

at the dependency verification stage...

I looked for documentation and found something promising https://nim-lang.org/docs/ssl_certs.html but disappointingly, these environment variables don't seem to affect the nimble behavior, and the other stuff I found while searching makes me think security isn't a very high priority.

### Expected Output

```text
Build finds dependencies and runs, without needing to disable supply-chain security measures like SSL cert validation.

Possible Solution

Maybe nimble should use the std/ssl_certs module documented at https://nim-lang.org/docs/ssl_certs.html

Additional Information

I'm trying to set up some CI/CD builds, and this is a deal breaker.
