CSS relative url's aren't resolved correctly when running in DEBUG mode.

[yourcelf]

This is a result of django-compressor/django-compressor#226. The symptom is that any assets referenced via "url(...)" in a css/sass file will not resolve correctly when running in DEBUG=True.

A clumsy workaround is to symlink "img" and "fonts" static directories into site_static/CACHE:

cd site_static/CACHE/
ln -s ../../static/img .
ln -s ../../static/fonts .

This problem should not exist when you're in production mode.

This bug is actual for me too.
But I don't want to make symlinks - I have many Django apps and each has own /static/

I'm on Amazon s3, I cannot make symlinks.

As a "workaround" I set the "COMPRESS_OUTPUT_DIR" to an empty string. I could not verify, that this will not introduce other problems though, but it helped in my particular situation (not using btb btw.).

COMPRESS_OUTPUT_DIR = ''

Furthermore this obviously does not resolve the real issue with compressor.
