Please no "^" after "lerna publish" in my "package.json"s

[TokugawaTakeshi]

All libraries versions in my package.json are exact (no ^):

After lerna publish, old versions of internal dependencies has been replaced to newest version, but begins from ^：

There is no lerna publish -E option yet. Please provide something like it.

Expected Behavior

For the case of my monorepo (hikari-automation depends on hikari-es-extensions and hikari-frontend):

when I execute lerna publish -E and publish, for example, version 0.0.35, versions of hikari-es-extensions and hikari-frontend in package.json of hikari-automation must be 0.0.35, not ^0.0.35.

Current Behavior

Current version is 0.0.22, so lerna added ^ to it:

Possible Solution

Please add new option for lerna publish which makes possible "Expected Behavior" functionality.

Context

Maybe everything will be all right until all packages has same version, but I feel unsafety and irritation when see "^" in my package.json. It is not ASAP, but I ask you to fix it.

--exact is what you're looking for (lerna itself uses it via json config). It's an option of lerna version, but you can pass it to lerna publish as well*. There is no -E shorthand alias.

• This implicit call of lerna version from lerna publish will be removed in the next major version.
