How far Artix repos are usually behind Arch ones?

Hey Artix! I couldn't find the answer to this question anywhere. In particular, I'm interested in community repo. I need obs-studio 25 and Artix community only has v24. v25 was added to Arch community on March 26th.

Maybe worth adding to FAQ, looks like something people could ask quite often.

obs isn't in the Artix repo, it is only on Arch

Hmm, so it means that I somehow get an outdated community on my Artix installation? For some reason, I don't get updated packages when I do pacman -Sy or pacman -Syy. Do I have to enable some other servers apart from those default ones in Artix ISO?

The current ones in mirrorlist-arch are
```
Server = http://mirrors.evowise.com/archlinux/$repo/os/$arsh
Server = http://mirror.rackspace.com/archlinux/$repo/os/$arch
```

Same mirrors as mine. I will check into the possibility of adding it to Artix repo

Edit: New version will be in our testing repos, due to some of it's deps are currently in testing atm.

I see, thanks for the clarification. But generally there is no like "usual" delay between stuff being updated/added in Arch and when it appears in Artix, right? It's basically going on "when it's done" basis, am I correct?

If we have it in our repo, then a package maintainer will pull the changes and fix it up if need be(systemd removal) and push update to our repo; After it builds it will be sync'd to mirrors over time. Generally Arch updates should be according to the Arch mirror's sync status. Maybe that mirror is out of sync, always a possibility too.
