Comment (by bmispelon):
This issue was introduced with commit
https://github.com/django/djangoproject.com/commit/89b5cc54cbd1ad4ea512428197d1b788bfc3547a
that switched the site to using `CachedStaticFilesStorage`.
Unfortunately, the code that generates thoses zip files (the `update_docs`
command) is not using the staticfiles machinery, which broke the download
links.
I see two solutions:
1) Revert the download link to use `{{ STATIC_ROOT }}` instead of `{%
static %}`.
2) Change the `update_docs` command to make use of the staticfiles
infrastructure (or at least generate a compatible filename).
I think 2) might be the better option, but after looking into it a bit, I
found it tricky to implement.
