Gulp doesn't seem to be actively maintained anymore:

The last commit is from 2021-06-22 with prior commits being very infrequent.
The last tagged release is v4.0.2 from 2019-05-06 which is what is currently used in Foundkey.

Much of the build process these days uses tsc directly (backend, sw, foundkey-js) or uses vite. Gulp only really seems to be used to copy certain files around to specific locations here.

I've not looked at the details there, and the copying does need to happen.
Would we want to do that in just some script?
If so, the script could actually invoke the dependency tree too ala redo.
What's suggested in general?

I think that's probably the simplest way to go about it.

The script could probably just be executed after running the build task for each workspace like what's currently done with gulp.

I did notice there were a few postprocessing steps that were being done as well in the gulpfile, but I'm not really sure what would be a good way to replace those.

Maybe I'm missing the point here, but why exactly do we have to replace gulp? Does it not being maintained even mean anything for us as long as it still works?

Fair enough. I'll close this for now and maybe revsit this if it stops working in a significant way.
