The old automation program that produced Caddy builds for various platforms and bundled them into archives for distribution

automate.go

// This program was used to build Caddy up to (but not including) v0.10.
// On April 20, 2017, it was replaced by a new releaser script that
// integrates with the autonomous build server. It bundles assets into
// an archive format that best fits the target OS. It could use `go build`
// to compile, but the way I configured it was to run the build.bash
// script that ensured the Caddy binary had proper version information
// embedded.
//
// I'm posting this here because it is no longer available in the Caddy
// repository and maybe you will find it useful for your own (simple?)
// projects, when doing releases.
//
// This code is Apache 2.0 licensed and I still retain the copyright.
// But feel free to use it (and change it), as long as you state changes
// and give attribution.
