ConTeXt does not respect custom TEXMFHOME location

Hello mailinglist, I have a problem with ConTeXt (Texlive 2019) and setting a custom location of TEXMFHOME. After installation I end up with a /usr/local/texlive/2019/texmfcnf.lua as follows: return { content = { variables = { TEXMFHOME = "~/.texlive2019/texmf", }, }, } Now when I place my custom version of publ-aut.lua in the appropriate subfolder it is not used. Although this works when default TEXMFHOME is used. Is this behavior known or is this a bug? Johannes
