omniverse/fd and omniverse/just are outdated

omniverse/fd is at 10.1.0 but upstream is at 10.2.0 since August.

Likewise, omniverse/just is at 1.34.0 but upstream is now at 1.38.0.

I'm also curious on what determines whether a package is in world, galaxy, or omniverse. Given that fd and just are quite popular programs, I was surprised that they are not available in world or galaxy.

Also, is Arch's extra repository preferred to omniverse or is omniverse preferred to extra? What's the best practice/recommendation in obtaining packages not available in world and galaxy?

I'm updating fd and just right now. They are rust based, so take quite long to build on the small build server I can use for this. I'm still hoping to get a build server with adequate resources.

When Artix started the goal was to have a stable platform on which anything could be installed, Later, having more resources, other packages were added as well - mostly in galaxy - but there is no intention to adopt all Arch packages.

Omniverse is my user repo as per https://wiki.artixlinux.org/Main/Repositories#Omniverse
This contains packages built on Artix, so in pacman Include omniverse after system, world and galaxy, and before any others.

I kind of select he packages for omniverse that I think will benefit quite a few users. I keep them up-to-date to a certain extent, sometimes on request just like in this case. Other maintainers don't have to worry about omniverse pkgs; all the work is for me.  Quite often a package is 'moved' to galaxy later on, but there is no fixed rule for this.
