Hi,

I noticed that MinGW CI tasks are currently failing and timing out
[1]. It appears that this started after the IPC::Run package was
updated on the MinGW CI image from: 'NJM/IPC-Run-20250809.0.tar.gz' to
'TODDR/IPC-Run-20260322.0.tar.gz' [2]. If I explicitly install
NJM/IPC-Run-20250809.0.tar.gz, then MinGW CI passes again [3].

I guess this PR [4] is responsible for the failures but I am not sure
about the fix so I wanted to bring that topic to -hackers.

Looks like as of two weeks ago, IPC::Run is under somewhat new management?

Looks to me more like the old manager getting active again.

The version of IPC::Run is pinned to 'NJM/IPC-Run-20250809.0' on the
MinGW image [1]. I tested the new MinGW image and confirmed that CI
passes [2]. I think we can re-enable the MinGW CI task on the CFBot
and Postgres repos.

Thank you! I opened a draft PR to pin the other versions as well;
let's see what the CI thinks...
