Description
It would be useful to support also symlinking whole (top) app static directories and not just every and each file, with collectstatic manage command. In this way it would not be necessary to rerun the manage command every time you add some files to the app.
Note:
See TracTickets
for help on using tickets.

foo
andbar
, and the following directory structure:The expected result of
collectstatic
is:How do you achieve this result with symlinks to directories only?
