AppStaticStorage only provided one thing over FileSystemStorage, which was
taking an app name (import path) and translating it into a filesystem
path. This is now something that should be done via app_config.path instead,
leaving AppStaticStorage with no reason for existence. It should be safe to
remove, as it was undocumented internal API.
There was some kind of feature in the AppDirectoriesFinder code related to a
"prefix" attribute on the storage class used by AppDirectoriesFinder. Since
this feature was undocumented, untested, and of unclear purpose, I removed it
as well.
When STATIC_ROOT wasn't set, collectstatic --clear would delete
every files within the current directory and its descendants.
This patch makes the following changes:
Prevent collectstatic from running if STATIC_ROOT isn't set.
Fixed an issue that prevented collectstatic from displaying the
destination directory.
Changed the warning header to notify when the command is run
in dry-run mode.
Previously when collecting static files, the directories would receive permissions
from the global umask. Now the default permission comes from FILE_UPLOAD_DIRECTORY_PERMISSIONS
and there's an option to specify the permissions by subclassing any of the
static files storage classes and setting the directory_permissions_mode parameter.
Replaced the custom, untested memoize with a similar decorator from Python's
3.2 stdlib. Although some minor performance degradation (see ticket), it is
expected that in the long run lru_cache will outperform memoize once it is
implemented in C.
Thanks to EvilDMP for the report and Baptiste Mispelon for the idea of
replacing memoize with lru_cache.
Previously, when collecting static files, the files would receive permission
from FILE_UPLOAD_PERMISSIONS. Now, there's an option to give different
permission from uploaded files permission by subclassing any of the static
files storage classes and setting the file_permissions_mode parameter.
Thanks dblack at atlassian.com for the suggestion.
