[Bug 1517244] Re: Allow users to compile css as part of build release zips for 15.10+

 

One thing that gives me pause about this plan, is that our build tools
are only really designed to work well on Linux. I can certainly see
theme developers trying to do this on a Windows machine and getting
hopelessly confused when "make" doesn't work, and they don't know how to
install npm or gulp.

We don't want to get into the business of providing tech support for
Windows, but maybe we could avoid the problem somewhat by putting a link
in there somewhere that tells people to go a helpful (external) URL if
they're on a non-Linux system. Like this one looks good:
https://www.npmjs.com/package/npm
