fab publish deletes collectstatic output

[mikejcorey]

If you need admin media, e.g., fab publish runs fab reset, which kills the static directory created/filled by collectstatic

It kills static because compress and grunt-build modify the directory, but you're right that it prevents media from outside Django applications from being accessed. I was typically publishing flat graphics to S3 and compressing the external JS/CSS so collectstatic wasn't necessary. This workflow won't work for sever-side apps so perhaps it's worth creating separate build/deploy commands based on how you want to host the app.
