New description:
Some django packages include JavaScript files, and no the sourcemaps.
Django version 4 introduces a new features of adjusting the URLs of these
source map urls. Unfortunately if one does not have these source maps, its
generates an error and stops. This seems unncessary that one can't create
a release due to an unused third party file.
Altohugh I think it should only print a warning, as dicussed below people
feel its worthwhile to keep this breaking change that breaks third part
packages. Can we at least make it only raise an error if `settings.DEBUG
== True`. That way in production where the sourcemaps are used less, its
okay.
Alternatively/Additionally, could there be a
`settings.SOURCEMAPE_EXCEPTION` etc that allows one to turn off this new
break change?
