Make and document process for updating dist/ in GUI directory
Open, Needs TriagePublic

Description

Right now we have dist/ directory in WDQS GUI repository. This directory contains some files for npm distribution, according to comments on https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/424472/. However, these files are not updated since 2016 and there is no documentation about their use or maintenance. We should:

  • Create procedure for updating it (preferably grunt target, if not possible - documented sequence of steps)
  • Document the purpose of files in in-repo files
  • Document how to build and use them on Mediawiki or in other suitable place
