Thanks for the clarification.  I'll leave the downstream as is until v8.

Thanks for updating the nightlies. Just to clarify though, this change will not 
be backported to v7, so you should keep the flag for the downstream v7 packages 
until you rebase to v8 when it is released.

    I'll change the fedora nightlies to match.  I cannot update the downstream 
packages until we spin a 7.0.2 with your changes.

        I have just pushed a commit to the master branch (version 7.99) that 
makes ngspice a required dependency for building KiCad, this means the previous 
compile option of KICAD_SPICE is now never used (so it can be removed from any 
build scripts/packaging scripts), and you will need to have the ngspice shared 
library installed to build KiCad.

        This was done since the simulator/spice integration part of KiCad has 
seen a lot of development recently, and it is becoming a larger feature of the 
schematic editor. Additionally, it turns out the build with spice disabled 
(using KICAD_SPICE=OFF) was actually broken and wouldn't link eeschema properly 
due to missing symbol definitions - so I don't foresee this change breaking any 
existing build scripts people may have.
