[Howto] Sixaxis controller and bluetooth.

Question

Hello.
I have just created a new package for aur, its name is qtsixa. It's my first package.
You can use some sixaxis controller with one bluetooth dongle. For me, I can use 4 sixaxis controller simultaneously.
Aur link : here
Official website : here
Features : http://qtsixa.sourceforge.net/features.html
Current version : 1.1.1.
Current aur version : 1.1.1 (only for 64bits for the moment, need to modificate PKGBUILD)
I will update the package today. [OK]
To install, just use :
yaourt -S qtsixa
Howto use : (2 steps)
First launch as root sixad daemon :
# /etc/rc.d/sixad start
Then launch qtsixa.
You must connect sixaxis controller with an USB cable, and to pair (Tasks menu / Pairing Sixaxis ), disconnect USB, then press PS button to use it with bluetooth.
Enjoy.

Yeah, that's why I use DEB pkg to build an arch PKG.
But I will check your PKGBUILD, and if all it's good, i will update it on AUR. Thanks
- on start, DAEMON is called with '--start'
- removed nonexistant debian function 'status_of_proc'
About this, I will speak to the main developper to create a patch. But all works by using init-functions from debian (see my actually pkgbuild.)

You can modificate my PKDBUILD to change these lines
deb2targz sixad_"$pkgver"-falktx0_amd64.deb || return 1
tar -xzf sixad_"$pkgver"-falktx0_amd64.tar.gz || return 1
to 32 bits. All is in the downloaded zip.
