Why not have your collect_coldbrew wrap collectstatic - then you have one command? While there are parts of the staticfiles API that should probably be opened more some day - for now it is a relatively private API. What Bruno has suggested uses technically private API. Such a signal as proposed would seem to be a way around https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/15213 - and introducing a signal for such a narrow use is gonna be the wrong way to address this. There are a couple other alternatives: A custom storage backend (public API) that does the compiling before writing the file (this could feel unintuitive). or use django-compressor which handles this action via template tags: http://django_compressor.readthedocs.org/en/latest/settings/#django.conf.settings.COMPRESS_PRECOMPILERS -Preston > I'm not sure if the best timing for the signal is at the end of the > complete collectstatic process or at the end of each iteration (ie, one > signal for each static directory that django finds). > > > On Sun, Nov 11, 2012 at 4:55 AM, Alex Gaynor <alex....@gmail.com<javascript:> > > wrote: > >> What's the use case? >> >> Alex >> >> >> On Sat, Nov 10, 2012 at 8:48 PM, Justin Holmes >> <jus...@justinholmes.com<javascript:> >> > wrote: >> >>> Currently, our only built-in management signal is post-syncdb. >>> >>> I propose (and, notwithstanding objection, will build) >>> post-collectstatic. >>> >>> Is this reasonable?
