Hi all, The special-cased handling of contrib.admin static assets in Django core is a long-time wart. Fortunately, the new static assets standard introduced by contrib.staticfiles and the STATIC_URL and STATIC_ROOT settings finally allows us to begin a migration path to remove this wart. AdminMediaHandler is already on a deprecation path; the remaining piece is the ADMIN_MEDIA_PREFIX setting.
After discussion with Jannis on IRC, we have a plan for deprecating ADMIN_MEDIA_PREFIX. The expectation is now that any apps' static assets should be found at STATIC_URL/appname. The idea is to introduce a check whether ADMIN_MEDIA_PREFIX is equal to STATIC_URL/admin, and if it is not, raise a (pending) deprecation warning and alert the user that in a future release of Django, the ADMIN_MEDIA_PREFIX setting will be removed, and the admin media will be assumed to be served at STATIC_URL/admin. Any objections to this plan before I put it into action? Carl -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers" group.
