I'm working on a custom ROM and I'm done with the building part (from source). Now the issue is, how do I add SuperSU for root as soon as the ROM is flashed. I don't want to go into custom boot images, as supporting lots of devices would be a pain. So how should I go about getting this done? Should I mount the image and then copy SuperSU apk to /system/app and chmod it and then add SuperSU binary to /system/xbin and chmod that too? Any help is greatly appreciated

I search too that script. For personal use its easy coz just change zip with ready rom.
All i know for sure there is a script who does that pack into zip but this is not that "SuperSu".

Don't try SuperSU right now. It's support has ended. Get Magic, and flash the patched boot image with ADB. Seems like the only option. I added SuperSU to the custom ROM by mounting the image on *nix and then adding the su binaries and chmod a+x on su
