`ManifestStaticFilesStorage` covers all files found by the static files
finders.
However, it is not always desirable to have all files covered:
- files for user download, e.g. `usermanual.pdf`:
- such files are not cached by browsers and thus require no cache
busting
- files with hashes in their file name impair the user experience
- files where the cache busting is done by other means:
- e.g. when an explicit version string is already kept in other
ways, e.g. manually as in `jquery-3.4.1.slim.min.js`
Thus it would be helpful if files could be excluded from the manifest
processing. For example, a setting with glob patterns could be introduced
such as:
{{{
#!python
STATICFILES_MANIFEST_EXCLUDES = (
"*.pdf",
"static/3rdparty/",
)
}}}
Does that make sense?
