Hey there, I am currently working with our old & grown Gruntfile.js [1] together with the files in tasks/
The gruntfile has grown over the years and it got really hard to make changes to our buildsystem. It also has some weird edge cases, as a release is made from the dist/debug folder, but the debug folder and it's contents is created from the task that spins up the devserver. Anyway... right now I am trying to integrate Babel as react-tools are deprecated. After the update I want to update to React 14 (that's where my current journey began). There are some tasks that would perfectly fit into a Makefile because they don't fit in a one liner as `npm run <task>` [2] (e.g. finding all .less files and feed them into the less compiler). I know that some people are using Windows and I am a super Windows noob. Windows Fauxton developers: Do Makefiles run in your Windows dev environment (e.g. via git shell et. al.) or would a make based build for Fauxton exclude you? If it would exclude you, do you have a suggestion what to use? Best, Robert :) [1] https://github.com/apache/couchdb-fauxton/blob/master/Gruntfile.js [2] https://github.com/apache/couchdb-fauxton/blob/master/package.json#L50
