[Q] How to disable publish tarball file?

I used npm@6 and lerna@^3.13.0 for publishing my package in customized npm registry. but it throw the error.

ZlibError: zlib: Cannot read property 'length' of null
    at Gzip.Zlib.(anonymous function) (/Users/yucong02/baidu/erp-fe/edam-vendor/node_modules/minizlib/index.js:126:21)
    at Gzip.write (/Users/yucong02/baidu/erp-fe/edam-vendor/node_modules/minizlib/index.js:247:21)
    at Object.source.on.chunk (/Users/yucong02/baidu/erp-fe/edam-vendor/node_modules/@lerna/pack-directory/node_modules/tar/lib/pack.js:340:18)
    at Object.emit (events.js:159:13)
    at Object.emit (/Users/yucong02/baidu/erp-fe/edam-vendor/node_modules/minipass/index.js:307:25)

However it’s successful with npm@<6.

Possible Solution

I guess the reason is that the customized registry does not support tarball file to publish. so How to disable publish tarball file?

lerna.json

{
    "packages": ["packages/*"],
    "version": "independent",
    "command": {
        "publish": {
            "skipGit": true,
            "registry": "http://registry.npm.baidu-int.com",
            "conventionalCommits": true,
            "changelogPreset": "befe",
            "message": "chore(release): publish %s"
        },
        "bootstrap": {
            "hoist": ["jest", "edam"],
            "npmClientArgs": []
        }
    },
    "ignoreChanges": ["**/__fixtures__/**", "**/__tests__/**"]
}

In my CI environment, I’m getting a lot of errors during the npm pack stage inside the lerna publish command. It happens randomly, and it happens in different packages each time, but the error comes from tar and the minizlib library.

In this same environment, single threading the npm publish commands for each package in lerna updated, using the actual npm publish command never runs into this issue.

the issue happens inside tar / minizlib, but it only started happening in recent versions of lerna.

i know this isn’t helpful but this has been a really hard thing for me to trace down.
