Hi, I'm having trouble to run the

pants package ::

command using a private repo like Artifactory. It seems that the pants package pex doesn't respect `[python-repos].indexes`:

Use `--keep-sandboxes=on_failure` to preserve the process chroot for inspection.

It looks similar to this issue: https://github.com/pantsbuild/pants/issues/15675

Specifically around respecting

[python-repos].indexes

, I don't think it relates to that topic. This looks like an internal Pants tool being built; and those lockfiles are bundled with Pants. I'd change the settings here to generate a custom lockfile/resolve and use that instead. You'll likely need to repeat this for every tool. https://www.pantsbuild.org/stable/reference/subsystems/setuptools

Thx, I'll try that and let you know!

Awesome!
