Details

In version 5.12 of bluez, support for the ps3 sixaxis controller was officially implemented [1].

It does not seem like an experimental feature and I tested it and seems to be working fine so I think it would be nice to build it with this support enabled.

There seems to be a bug that prevents detection of the controllers in this version, but it has already been fixed upstream and should be fine in next version.

The fix is contained in a patch [2] that is also applied by fedora packages [3].

It would be fine to wait for 5.13 too if this is preferred.

PKGBUILD-wise all that is needed is to configure it with the --enable-sixaxis flag and to call the "install-pluginLTLIBRARIES" Makefile target in the package_bluez-libs() function.

No additional dependencies are needed.

Thanks.
