Hi,

We have a monorepo that we just migrated from yarn to pnpm. We're in the process of integrating turborepo too and it looks very promising, super grateful for the maintainers working on this projects 🙏

The issue we have at the moment is caching lifecycle scripts of our internal packages. Our monorepo contains a bunch of apps, microservices, and libraries. The libraries need to be built for them to work in our apps or other libraries depending on them. We use prepare scripts for this (but could also use postinstall), so when you pnpm install all libraries are being built in the right order. pnpm also automatically hard links the libraries into their dependents' node_modules after their lifecycle script has run.

We would like to cache those lifecycle script using turborepo, but I can't find a way to do it properly. I've tried giving those scripts a different name and run them manually after we run pnpm install, but on top of not being an ideal devx, it doesn't automatically links the modules again, so the build folder doesn't end up in its dependents' node_modules.

Is there something I'm missing here? I feel like building using lifecycle scripts is a pretty common usecase, but I really don't see how we can cache them using turborepo, and I also can't seem to find any existing discussion or issue about this.

Thanks in advance 🙏
