Indeed See <https github com pantsbuild pants issues 10399> Pants will interpolate the special strings ` homedir s ` and same with buildroot and user ```repos add = homedir s mesh mesh dash packages ```

The alternative is using Pants env vars e g having users set up a pantsrc file See the global option ` pantsrc files`

But also unless Pants is doing too much processing you can simply ```repos add = ~ mesh mesh dash packages ``` Pants hands off to Pex and Pex does no processing and Pip handles this just fine
