If you need an uptodate TeX live (because it’s not just a dependency or
infrastructure, but you actually use it), better install TeX live
(MacTeX) directly from tug.org

Yes, it was last updated with the release of TeX Live 2025 in March.
It's a pretty involved process to upgrade all the pieces of the texlive
ecosystem and test them, so I usually only do this each year when a new
version is released, unless there's a critical fix.

, does that mean the code has not been updated from TeXLive in that long or
only that the macports scripts that govern pulling source from the TexLive
hasn't been updated in that long?
I ask because right now LaTeX (if I understand correctly, especially luatex) is
undergoing rapid development due to the deadline pressure of ADA compliance for
colleges and universities where a lot of math/science course materials are
produced using LaTeX. I'm trying to keep up with those developments and the
current versions are failing with several of the recommended commands.
Thanks,
