The gulp-base64 package has 11 dependencies with
vulnerabilities listed against them as of this
time. It also doesn't seem to be maintained any
more. The last commit was in 2015 and there are
issues and pull requests up to bump the
dependencies.
This replaces it with gulp-base64-inline.
gulp-base64-inline takes a single path, which it
prepends to any image paths it finds. Our image
paths are actually URLs, not filesystem paths so
we need to send it a relative path to repoint the
URL.
This commit includes changes that remove a few
`@import`s from one of our sass partials.
They aren't needed as those files are imported
further up the stack and `_typography.scss` has an
import in it that overwrites the new
`_url-helpers.scss` we added here.
We should (and do) keep exact copies of SCSS files that have come from
elsewhere so that we can easily upgrade them. But sometimes they don’t
always pass our linting rules, or throw a lot of warnings, which is
noisy.
This commit:
- moves such files into their own subdirectory
- tells SCSS Lint to ignore files in this directory
