dir format will fail with an error because it can not install the directory into the repository

See the discussion on MASSEMBLY-39 which originally created the dir format.

I believe the dir format should never be added to the repository as it's only purpose is to ease the development process by providing an un-archived version ready for testing on disk.

The workaround is to manually extract the archive, or to create a second duplicate descriptor and use that to create the directory version (do not bind this second one to the package phase)

Will attach example project shortly.

The error received is:
