Yes, I've done this before. Echoing Y to hdiutil wasn't working for me so I
wrote an expect script to do it.
Here is the expect script:
https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/blob/d8f0e670fe55cb35a5861bc26eba98acb0368ad6/emulators/minivmac/files/attach.exp
You may need to modify the strings "Software License" and "Agree Y/N?"
depending on the exact wording of your disk image's license.
Here are the Tcl procedures to mount a disk image using that expect script and
to unmount it:
https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/blob/d8f0e670fe55cb35a5861bc26eba98acb0368ad6/emulators/minivmac/Portfile#L354-L368
(Change "my_system" to "system" though.)
Don't forget to add a dependency on bin:expect:expect for whatever phase you're
doing this in (e.g. depends_extract-append).
You want to mount the disk image using these procedures instead of MacPorts
base code, so set extract.only to a value that excludes the disk image (i.e.
list all the other distfiles; if there are no other distfiles, set extract.only
to a blank value), then call the procedures in the post-extract block (or
whatever phase you want).
P.S: Please write to our list addresses at lists.macports.org. The older
hostname you used redirects mail to the new one, but some users cannot read
those redirects due to security concerns implemented by their email providers.
