Instructions mention collectstatic, but it looks like this calls for
a STATICFILES_DIR option in settings.py; unsetting STATIC_ROOT and
settings that option fixed static files.

The point of the staticfiles Django app si to collect static files in
static/ subdirectory of applications into the STATIC_ROOT directory,
I do not see how it can work without STATIC_ROOT (ignoring the
DEBUG=True case where staticfiles is directly serving files from the
app/static/ directories). It needs more investigations.

STATICFILES_DIR should be used if there were static files to collect outside an application static subdirectory, then it seems not necessary.
STATIC_ROOT and STATIC_URL seems set the right way by default.
What do you mean by "that option fixed static files" ?

It fixed the serving of static files. I'll have to reinstall things locally to give more details.

I can't reproduce with the 2.0.0 tarball as the instructions are no longer working (probably because of Django 1.4); it works fine with current git, however I believe it's because I ran authentic2 from its checkout directory, while this bug report came after an installation made via 'pip install authentic2' .

The tarball, now release 2.0.1 that runs with Django 1.4, has been updated today on pypi.

So I got back to use it and it fails, this is exactly what I do:

mkdir authentic2-venv
virtualenv authentic2-venv --system-packages
cd authentic2-venv
. bin/activate
pip install authentic2
pip install django django-profiles django-authopenid south django-debug-toolbar
python ./lib/python2.7/site-packages/authentic2/manage.py syncdb --migrate
python ./lib/python2.7/site-packages/authentic2/manage.py runserver

And the static files are not served properly, which is to be expected as "find authentic2-venv -name '*.css'" doesn't yield any result.
