Comment 0 for bug 1669854

In this case, I am downloading and unpacking a tar.gz with the "dump" plugin. If I check the result of this in the ./parts/mypart/install directory, I can see all the files from the tar; including hidden files and directories. However, once the part is staged, these hidden files and directories seem to be filtered out. I can hack them into the stage directory using "organize" to remove the prefixed "." but this can obviously cause issues with libraries looking for the original name. Or, of course, I can manually stage them and run `snap prime`.

Not sure if this is intentional or if it's a bug?

Thanks,
Joe
