wepp

Deprecated. wepp is a Node.js module that processes LESS and JavaScript files in order to combine and minify them for production use. It depends on and makes use of fQuery. It uses less.js to process LESS files and cssmin.js (from the JavaScript port of the CSS minification tool distributed with YUICompressor) to compress CSS files.

It's also possible to include JavaScript files into other JavaScript files. The syntax is:

// @include 'path/to/other/file.js'

the specified file will be looked up relative to the including file and its content will be copied into place. For JavaScript compression wepp uses UglifyJS.
