Is there a way to ignore local packages in a workspace?

[aladinflux]

We have a workspace and we build and publish the modules (all inside packages folder) to a private NPM repository. We also have an app folder which is part of the workspace.

packages:
  - 'packages/*'
  - 'app'

When we deploy to production, we'd like the app folder to not link packages from the workspace, but download them from npm. The issue is, however we run the installer (with filter, with link-workspace-packages = false) it still links dependencies from packages folder.

How do we tell pnpm to download dependencies from remote rather than use local packages?

Set link-workspace-packages as false and in app folder's package.json don't use workspace protocol but the normal version, how about this way?
