Description

For each release, three manual steps are necessary to keep schema XSD links up to date on the docs server:

  1. Copy the spring-security-oauth schema files into the current release directory, e.g.
cd /var/www/domains/spring.io/docs/htdocs/autorepo/schema/spring-security
cp 5.5.0/security/spring-security-oauth-* 5.6.0/security/
  1. Symlink the highest-versioned XSD to spring-security.xsd, e.g.
ln -s spring-security-5.6.0.xsd 5.6.0/security/spring-security.xsd
  1. Symlink the current release to the current directory, e.g.
ln -sfn 5.6.0 current

Research direction

The issue names no repository file, test, or automation entry point. Start by locating the release process that publishes schema files to the docs server, then determine how it can perform the three listed copy and symlink steps; done means a release updates the versioned schema, spring-security.xsd, and current links without manual commands.
