It looks like its going to take all night stuck at "3 minutes remaining" because my MacTeX install of TeXlive has over 135,000 files and is somewhere close to 4GB. It would have been much faster to blow away all of my homebrew installs, emacs, qt, and especially TeX and reinstall after the upgrade. I does eventually finish. I'm typing this on my desktop running Yosemite, which took a long long time because of /usr/local, but my laptop is still working on the install. I believe it's been eight hours! (And both have SSD's)
