mactex-texlive-20250216.pkg fails

[Michael Byczkowski]

Dear Bruno,

For a non-M chip, it ain’t too bad over here:
	294.91s user 20.00s system 97% cpu 5:22.78 total

Please keep in mind that mine is one of the faster Intel Macs of its generation with Intel Core i7 (quad-core, 2.6 GHz) and 16GB; to the best of my knowledge, the slowest Macs supporting Mojave seem to be either the MacBook Intel Core M (dual core 1.1 GHz (base) or up to 2.4 GHz with Turbo Boost9 and 8GB (12-inch, 2015) or the Mac mini Intel Core i5 (dual core 2.5 GHz) and 4GB  (late 2012)...

Best regards,
	Michael

Though I see nothing there that could take time: set PATH and MANPATH; create the empty texmf-local tree; set the paper size according to the default from System Settings; construct the TeXDist structure (a series of symlinks).
