MacOS is not 100% ready to go, but the large technical hurdles appear
to be past us.  Today I am working on adding OCE, which is a bit of a
pain, but the massive Python packaging rework is building solidly and
ngspice was just added.

If anyone is interested in helping with the macOS packaging, there are
a good handful of issues in the github repository that just require
someone who knows KiCad to download a dmg, install it, run KiCad, and
check that something works, and maybe write a few sentences on how to
verify that that feature works.
