DCT synchronization across branches

System

On this project the same DCT exists on multiple branches. I found a problem today where a developer (probably me) had updated the DCT in one branch but not in the other branches. What I would really like is for DCTs to support symbolic links so instead of a DCT in each branch there would just be a symlink so updating in one place would update all (I can't imagine why it doesn't currently support this unless it is a percceived secuyrity issue as users could relink the DCT and execute any code as an inline - would love to hear a response from IWOV on this). Since that probably won't fix that I would like to automate a lightweight solution (no workflow). I guess the entire DCT could be an inline, but since nested inlines aren't supported that means a pretty big code refactoring here. I am wondering how people generally deal with this and if they are willing to share code.

My shop accomplishes this task by breaking the DCT into components (perl files that print valid XML) and refer to the components with inlines.

Would you be willing to post a snippet of the code on the Perl side and on the DCT side so we can see how you set this up?

Attached is a simplified example of using a “publishing information” component that one of my colleagues wrote. (we reference it in most of our dcts)

Let me know if you have any more questions.

Thanks. This was very helpful.
