django-chunkswas removed from requirements as it is unmaintained and incompatible with modern Django. The{% chunk %}template tags in templates will need a replacement (e.g.django-flatblocksor a custom template tag).mediasynctemplate tags ({% media_url %},{% css %},{% js %}) used in templates will need to be replaced with Django's{% static %}tag or equivalent.This PR was generated with Oz.
