pacman -Qi vs -Si for lrzip package put in Artix repos after install

It's not a problem but I thought this was interesting to observe how it has worked. I was looking at the lrzip package (which offers extra powerful file compression, possibly the best currently available) which I had already installed, and it had an earlier build date than the one in the repos, yet it had not been updated. This must be because it has been added to the Artix repos since, but keeping the same version number. So I have the Arch build and not the Artix one, yet it has never been automatically updated.

yup, this is normal. If we import the package into artix from archlinux, then it has the same version / build number as archlinux (same as the current package in archlinux). So you won't actually get until the next version (unless you intentionally reinstall). :-)
