Howdy,

TeX Live 2024 and MacTeX-2024 have just been released and the repositories are in a state of flux. Once we see stability the web pages will be updated for MacTeX-2024. What you are seeing is transitory until these pages are updated. Please be patient since we expect the changes to take place in the next few days.

Good Luck,

Herb Schulz
