The msys2 project rejected my ngspice-git package build pull request [1]. Apparently they don't want another git flavor of an existing package and would prefer that the existing ngspice package be patched. I honestly don't blame them. Since I'm not sure which patch fixes ngspice and I've spent way more time on this than I wanted to, I'm deferring this issue to Orson since he made the decision to make ngspice a build dependency. I'll leave my ngspice-git-package branch on my github clone of the mingw packages[2] for devs to experiment with the latest ngspice code if they feel the need. Given that this seems to be an ongoing issue, I may create a new policy that if you add a new build dependency you cannot commit it to the product repo until it works across all platform without having to build from source. Choose your dependencies wisely.
