             Summary: Support building MSI installer in release script
                 Key: DAFFODIL-2066
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DAFFODIL-2066
             Project: Daffodil
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Infrastructure
            Reporter: Steve Lawrence


DAFFODIL-2047 adds support for building a windows MSI installer. It does this 
by using the sbt native-packager plugin which uses WiX tools for building 
MSI's. Unfortunately, WiX tools are windows only right now.

Our release script requires Linux for building tars and rpms. And it's 
important that that tar/rpm/msi that we build are build at the same time to 
ensure the Jars are exatly the same. So we need a way to run WiX tools on 
linux. There are some reports that WiX tools can run under wine, so we need to 
A) figure out and document steps to get WIX tools to run under wine and B) 
determine how we can get the sbt-native-packager plugin to run wine rather than 
run WiX tools directly.
