I’ve built the binary package for macOS - its up and running… I’ll send the link to Riki.

I want to mention here a problem while compiling the users guide:

LaTeX2e <2021-11-15> patch level 1
L3 programming layer <2022-02-24>
...
(/usr/local/texlive/2022/texmf-dist/tex/generic/babel-german/ngerman.ldf
Language: ngerman 2021/02/27 v2.13 German support for babel (post-1996 orthography)
(/usr/local/texlive/2022/texmf-dist/tex/generic/babel-german/ngermanb.ldf
Language: ngermanb 2021/02/27 v2.13 German support for babel (post-1996 orthography)

! Package babel Error: Unknown option 'modifiers'. Either you misspelled it
(babel)                or the language definition file modifiers.ldf was not found.

This is with macTeX 2022. (pdfTeX, Version 3.141592653-2.6-1.40.24 (TeX Live 2022))
