I have a suggestion concerning the logging of the `collectstatic` command.
Presently, with the default verbosity level (1), individual information on
each copied or linked file are printed to `sdtout`, resulting in a log
looking like this:
{{{
Copying '/path/to/the/file'
# or
Linking '/path/to/the/file'
# [...dozens if not hundreds of other lines...]
187 static files copied to '/var/www/my_site/static'.
}}}
Now providing the command is launched at every startup of the server (and
that you restart your server often, for example in development), this can
result in pretty heavy and "polluted" server logs.
If you use verbosity level 0, no output whatsoever is printed (obviously).
Plus, in several cases, the output for verbosity levels 1 and 2 are the
same.
Looking at the
[https://github.com/django/django/blob/master/django/contrib/staticfiles/management/commands/collectstatic.py
collectstatic source code], only skipped operations (for post-processing,
linking, copy, deletion with `--clear`) and deletion (of previously copied
files that got modified) are logged with a verbosity level of 2.
In my opinion, it would be nice to shift the lines concerning individual
files to a verbosity level of 2, and keep the summary at a verbosity level
of 1.
I think it would also bring consistency with other commands, such as
`loaddata`, which only displays its summary (at a verbosity level of 1):
{{{
Installed 42 object(s) from 7 fixture(s)
}}}
Cheers!
