[Koha-devel] Introduce the use of Grunt or Gulp?

One workaround for the Gulp/Grunt/DFSG issue would be to build a Debian
package and host it on the koha-community repo. I would be willing to do
this.

Unfortunately, all of the frontend build tools seem to either:
  a) have license issues preventing them from having an official Debian
package (Grunt, Gulp),
  b) not be popular enough to have a package or be viable (broccoli,
others) or
  c) have limitations in functionality that make them not worth the effort
(Jake).

I agree with Owen both that this is strongly needed and that it would be
doing complex enough tasks to make maintaining a separate, limited build
script for packaging/tarball installs untenable.
