This template should have options to specify the architecture and maybe also the repository. Currently packages which are not available in the x86_64 architecture (eg. `linux-asahi`) can't be linked with this template. Sertonix (talk) 22:52, 8 November 2023 (UTC)

:Hey Sertonix, I've been working on this lately, check out the potential new template @ Template:Sandbox, and I'd love for you to add some test cases to @ Sandbox too just in case I've missed something!

Done

The pkg template has been updated!

arch= default to all architectures

Most of the time what you say will apply regardless of the architecture, so this will cut down on the amount of text you need for the common case.
(The same argument may apply for branch= too but I have no opinion.) --Encode (talk) 00:54, 27 May 2024 (UTC)

Yes I agree, the current version of the pkg template defaults to branch=edge|arch=x86_64 because that is what the previous versions of the template was hardcoded to. –zcrayfish (talk•contribs•send email) 17:27, 28 May 2024 (UTC)

Also in regards to the branch= argument of the template, it has to default to edge for now because it can no longer be left blank. In the future it might be possible to have it default to something along the lines of {{AlpineLatest}}, but I have not figured out how to get this MediaWiki instance to properly deal with numbers like "3.20.0" (it can truncated them to 3.2, which is one digit off of what we need).

A change to the template to remove the reference to searching all branches is pending. –zcrayfish (talk•contribs•send email) 18:33, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
