#28606 closed Cleanup/optimization (fixed)
Deprecate CachedStaticFilesStorage
Description ¶
CachedStaticFilesStorage
has a number of drawbacks, and the docs in fact already steer people away from using it:
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.11/ref/contrib/staticfiles/#django.contrib.staticfiles.storage.CachedStaticFilesStorage
An additional problem is that HashedFilesMixin
has had to make several compromises in order to support CachedStaticFilesStorage
which unfortunately also impacts users of the recommended ManifestStaticFilesStorage
backend (see #28604). When these compromises were added in #24452, it was suggested that CachedStaticFilesStorage
should just be deprecated/removed instead.
It's now too late to mark it as deprecated for Django 2.0, but we can do so for Django 2.1 which would end up with its removal being in Django 3.0 all the same anyway.
I started this mailing list thread about the deprecation:
