I'm not sure if this is the proper list. If not, would someone please redirect me?

I'm trying to programmatically / script a means to consistently make a
disk image with background images / minimal toolbar. I need to create
a utility for our build compiler to run whenever a new release is
made. Using Disk Utility manually really isn't an option. Any
suggestions?
Search the Xcode list and Apple's Developer site. There are
numerous approaches and several people have made scripts and
tools to solve it.
My approach is to create an empty writable dmg image with the
size, icon view, background etc. that I want. A "Make DMG"
target runs a build script that makes a copy of the dmg file,
mounts it, copies the final application to it, closes it, then
converts it to a compressed dmg image for final release. There
are also tools to attach a license agreement to the image.
