Improve WordPress.org RTL styles and generate RTLCSS via a Grunt task

Improve WordPress.org RTL styles generated by RTLCSS

Similar to r1771 a Gruntfile was added to generate the RTL WordPress.org Themes styles.

Attached patch adds a grunt task grunt build (or grunt rtlcss) to generate RTL stylesheets for the following:

https://meta.trac.wordpress.org/browser/sites/trunk/wordpress.org/public_html/style

• forum-wp4-rtl.css
• wp4-rtl.css

Note: An svn:ignore property should also be added for the node_modules folder

In 1178.diff is the base patch and 1178-rtlcss.diff is the result of running grunt build from the /style folder

Is there a way to combine the tasks with the theme directory sites/trunk/wordpress.org/public_html/wp-content/themes/pub/wporg-themes and other projects? Some type of "global tasks"?

Replying to ocean90:

Probably remove the tasks in the above repo and add a more "global tasks" config further up the repo, the CSS in most of the following top level folders could probably do with this enhancement:

• https://meta.trac.wordpress.org/browser/sites/trunk/wordpress.org/public_html/style
• https://meta.trac.wordpress.org/browser/sites/trunk/wordpress.org/public_html/wp-content/plugins
• https://meta.trac.wordpress.org/browser/sites/trunk/wordpress.org/public_html/wp-content/themes

Adding a Gruntfile.js and package.json at https://meta.trac.wordpress.org/browser/sites/trunk/wordpress.org and then checking for CSS/JS in all folders under /public_html is the option that comes to mind at the moment.

In 6518:

Header: Remove iphone stylesheet.

No longer needed, responsive styles are good enough.

See #1178.

In 6519:

Style: Create RTL styles via grunt task.

At some point we could start writing wp4 in Sass and/or ship a minified version. For now it provides rem unit fallbacks, updates property prefixes, and creates RTL styles.

Props netweb.
Fixes #1178.

WP.org: Add a (very) basic build script

Helps with building child theme CSS after parent theme changes.
