Grunt is used by Evergreen's new web staff interface; while I can't claim to be an expert in it, it gets the job done. > Adopting them would introduce a little more complexity to the process > of making client-side changes to Koha, and to be honest I'm not sure > of the right way to incorporate the tools into our workflow. >From a packaging point of view... I ended up down a rabbit hole. Grunt itself is not packaged for Debian due to a long-standing issues with one of its own devDependencies, JSHint [1]. I don't see any signs that Gulp is packaged either. Using Grunt would therefore present a problem: it would require a build dependency that is not itself packaged for Debian. I note that Debian's package of jQuery includes a custom build script to avoid using Grunt. Jake [2] *is* packaged for Debian -- would that work for you as an alternative, Owen? > If there is interest I'd be happy to submit a patch introducing the > process to the OPAC as a demonstration. +1 for doing something, but see above.
