Update: I've abandoned support of this project in favour of using drush. Check it out. You'll love it

I sometimes use Drupal for my web development work.

As part of my development workflow, I pull any Drupal Core and Contributed source from Drupal CVS. I call the resulting collection of code my local Drupal source tree and use make in my various Drupal projects to build in the Core and Contrib that I need from this tree. This way I can keep everything in one place, control updates, and use SVN for my Drupal projects without effecting the CVS control of the source tree.

dstm is a simple bash script I created some time ago to manage this Drupal source tree. dstm can update the entire tree using one command. I can keep a dstm profile for any version dependencies of Contrib projects within specific Drupal branches (versions) and dstm will find the latest version of a module without having to look up the CVS Tag that controls module versioning. dstm also generates a sample Makefile for new Drupal projects.

Due to interest from others who wanted to use dstm in their own workflow, I decided to clean up the script and release it. Please use it if you think it useful.

Note: I am aware of the drush project. At the time I used it, drush was really great but dtsm solved a few different problem for me. However, you should also check it out.
