Managing Web Page Components with CVS

[douggorley]

Hello list,

I am currently developing a number of small web sites using Perl's
Template Toolkit (http://www.template-toolkit.org.)  I keep the
templates in CVS, and then build the static html using ttree.  What I
would like to do is have a common set of site "components" (dialog
boxes, chart templates, etc.) which are also kept in CVS, but are
develpoed independently of any given web site.  My idea on how to do
this was to have a project for each site, a separate project for these
components, and check out a copy of the components for each project
when I build the web sites.  I currently have a Makefile that runs
ttree to build the HTML pages; I think I could add a CVS update of the
components to the process, so that the pages were always built with
the most current components.  Does anyone see any problems with this
approach?

Thanks for your help,
