mikro-orm packages should depend on exact versions for other mikro-orm packages

[stefansundin]

Describe the bug

Hello. I'm having trouble installing mikro-orm version 6.0.0-dev.108. I noticed that not all packages have 6.0.0-dev.109 published, so I want to use 108 for the time being.

The dependencies in my package.json:

    "@mikro-orm/cli": "6.0.0-dev.108",
    "@mikro-orm/core": "6.0.0-dev.108",
    "@mikro-orm/migrations": "6.0.0-dev.108",
    "@mikro-orm/postgresql": "6.0.0-dev.108",

However, even though I am depending on the exact versions like above, the packages themselves are pulling in a newer version of each other, resulting in a mess in my yarn.lock file.

Of these four packages, only @mikro-orm/core have an 109 version published, but @mikro-orm/knex is also pulled in with version 109.

Stack trace

When I try to run my app, I get this error:

Error: Bad @mikro-orm/cli version 6.0.0-dev.108.
All official @mikro-orm/* packages need to have the exact same version as @mikro-orm/core (6.0.0-dev.109).
Only exceptions are packages that don't live in the 'mikro-orm' repository: nestjs, sql-highlighter, mongo-highlighter.
Maybe you want to check, or regenerate your yarn.lock or package-lock.json file?

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Try to install 6.0.0-dev.108 as described above.
2. Run the app.
3. See the error.

Expected behavior

I expect mikro-orm packages to depend on exact versions of each other so that I can consistently install a version that isn't the latest version.

Additional context

I am not able to figure out the correct "resolutions" or "override" syntax to use to override the transient version dependencies.

Packages missing a 109 release: @mikro-orm/cli, @mikro-orm/postgresql, @mikro-orm/migrations.

Thanks!

Yeah agreed, we should make this change, it's not just about the constant NPM hiccups, causing some packages to be missing (as they decide to throw a 503 at us in the middle of the publishing, this is also problematic for people who simply want to use some older version.
