we could do texlive
instead but they provide a perl
script to install on unix like systems
currently i am using this guide https://pwsmith.github.io/2020/06/16/custom-install-texlive-on-mac/ to install texlive to a custom location
that looks reasonably promising, though probably not build-from-source. we'd either need to pass all the options on the command line to the script, or mod it to accept the options we want.
needs more work, but this is a start: https://github.com/pkgxdev/pantry/commit/adba989323c816ee5040f4c63354542f4e34075a
this one is potentially difficult, for a number of reasons:
The software in MacTeX is available without fees for both personal and professional use. This software has been produced by thousands of programmers, and each piece comes with its own license. So redistribution of files from the MacTeX collection should be done with care after reading the License restrictions from these copyright holders.
so, this will be an interesting problem to solve, if it is solvable.
