MacTeX in Pretest?

I just mirrored the tlpretest repository using rsync and can’t seem to find the MacTeX installer for everything.  I specially didn’t exclude anything (as I want to check the pretest on both my Mac and my Linux VM) and have tried multiple repositories.  A sample rsync command: `rsync -a --delete texlive.info::tlpretest .` (called from the directory where I want the repository locally mirrored).


I am getting pkg files, but none of them seem to be the installer for everything:

/tlpretest/mactex-basictex-20250213.pkg
/tlpretest/mactex-ghostscript-10.04.0-20250210.pkg
/tlpretest/mactex-ghostscript-10.04.0-extras-20250210.pkg
/tlpretest/mactex-guiapplications-20250210.pkg

Further, none of these are big enough to be the installer for everything (the largest is 141 MB and the others are less than 100).  Am I missing something in what I should be doing to find MacTeX for the pretest?
