I’m a bit confused about what’s being proposed/discussed here. We did revive QtGamepad, in so far as we integrated the changes I proposed a couple of years ago. That includes a module for recreating 95% of the same API that was in QtGamepad in Qt 5.x, as well as many additional features that have been requested during the lifetime of QtGamepad (support for all joystick-like controllers with a lower level API exposing buttons and axis’s etc).
I guess we're equally confused :-) I was under the impression that the "new", revived QtGamepad was still in development and not yet functional. If that it is not the case, all the better!
However, the QtGamepad module is not part of Qt 6, so it doesn’t have access to the CI infrastructure so it can and does break. I’m not sure what is being proposed then. Why not just propose that the QtGamepad module be again included in qt5.git (qt6) and re-added to the CI/packaging infrastructure? So that is if we’re considering giving official status to a “legacy” port of the 5.15 version, I would rather us opt for just re-elevating qtgamepad as it stands in the official repo now and preparing that one for release as part of Qt 6.
If it works, yes! I'm all for it!
