Comment (by gnotaras): The bottom line is whether you want to give us the option to delete the previous static files deployment in STATIC_ROOT through the collectstatic command, and, if yes, whether you want collectstatic to perform this fatal operation by default or not. After thinking about it for a while, either solution makes sense. However, as a user, I'd like to have the choice to regenerate STATIC_ROOT from scratch, but I wouldn't want the collectstatic command to perform any deletions by default. -- Ticket URL: <https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/16161#comment:17> Django <https://code.djangoproject.com/> The Web framework for perfectionists with deadlines. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django updates" group.
