Since the switch to check the nginx config with gixy in
59fac1a6d7e1983a1e7bd518129ff9ef39a013dd, the ACME test doesn't build
anymore, because gixy reports the following false-positive (reindented):
>> Problem: [alias_traversal] Path traversal via misconfigured alias.
Severity: MEDIUM
Description: Using alias in a prefixed location that doesn't ends with
directory separator could lead to path traversal
vulnerability.
Additional info: https://github.com/yandex/gixy/blob/master/docs/en/plugins/aliastraversal.md
Pseudo config:
server {
server_name letsencrypt.org;
location /documents/2017.11.15-LE-SA-v1.2.pdf {
alias /nix/store/y4h5ryvnvxkajkmqxyxsk7qpv7bl3vq7-2017.11.15-LE-SA-v1.2.pdf;
}
}
The reason this is a false-positive is because the destination is not a
directory, so something like "/foo.pdf../other.txt" won't work here,
because the resulting path would be ".../destfile.pdf../other.txt".
Nevertheless it's a good idea to use the exact match operator (=), to
not only shut up gixy but also gain a bit of performance in lookup (not
that it would matter in our test).

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 https://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-18.09 for the latest
release and nixos-unstable for the latest successful build of master:
% git remote update channels
% git rebase channels/nixos-18.09
For pull requests, please rebase onto nixpkgs master.
NixOS Linux distribution source code is located inside
nixos/ folder.
