Feel free to contribute package files and documentation, please open a pull request woth proposed additions
Be aware that ACE isn't tested with MSYS2 so we don't know if it all works as it should.
There are many package managers tied to OS distributions or systems that work like OS distributions. From my perspective while we're certainly willing to accept contributions, the approach of using these system package managers for configurable and customizable middleware libraries just doesn't scale. Package managers designed to use within development projects (see vcpkg, conan) are a better fit. And they're multi-platform so investing time and effort can pay off for a larger subset of the user community.
Ace is available on the Cygwin package library, it would be nice to have the official developers put the packages on the official MSYS2 repositories built under each environment (msys2, uctr64, mingw64, etc) for developers to use. Or at least provide a updated section on how to build it on those and add a package file for others to use.
