Compiler warnings from TeX Live

[devosb]

TeX Live uses part of TECkit and has patches at
https://www.tug.org/svn/texlive/trunk/Build/source/libs/teckit/TLpatches/
to eliminate compiler warnings.

A low priority issue would be to update the TECkit source so most of these patches are not needed.
For now, TeX Live is OK with the patches.

I took a quick look, and it seems to me that most of these patches (the ones fixing warnings) could be merged into git right away. They seem to be based on 2.5.7.

It's unfortunate that the TL maintainers don't submit pull requests for these things. Is it possible to encourage them to do that, do you think?

I believe all of the patches that would be applied have been applied to the master branch, so I think you can close this issue.

You might consider making a new release that could be picked up by TeX Live in preparation for TeX Live 2019.

I will make a release after Unicode 12 comes out in March 2019.

Reminder. Currently there is one patch left.
