I'd like to have my own customized icon showing up for my .pkg package, instead of the generic one. I know I can do this by copying/pasting the icon onto the .pkg file. But I'm trying to automate the entire pacakging process using a script (from collecting raw material to producing a final .dmg file containing the .pkg and some other documnets).

Is there anyway to make the icon change automatic? Maybe inserting some .icns file into the resource directory, but with a special filename?

Thanks!

You could create an icon-setting tool using the IconFamily class.

Manually paste a custom icon onto the .pkg once: you'll get an "Icon\r" file inside the package. You can then stick that file into your automated process, along with a call to /Developer/Tools/SetFile to set the custom icon bit in the package's metadata (which is what instructs the Finder to use the "Icon\r" file).
