Hi Robin,

I had a discussion with Jono last night exactly about this. Things are
much better now, there is a cron job to run collectstatic every hour.
Also keep in mind that your browser may cache css files and you have
to force reload. In some unusual cases you may have to go as far as
opening the outdated css link itself and force refresh, though I have
not had this problem yet with the staging site (this is usually caused
by ssl cert issues).

Jono, Michael: it seems that is still a minor issue with the setup: it
appears that collectstatic is not run immediately after you pull from
the trunk. After my last push, the template changes became visible
quite soon, but the css changes became visible only at the turn of the
next hour (probably because collectstatic runs hourly). It's as if you
have multiple cron jobs scheduled to run at different times. This is
not good, because there is a window during which the site may look
broken. Please double-check the setup and make sure that manage.py
collectstatic runs right after bzr pull.

Thanks,
Janos
