As you can read on several places on the Net, a first Preview Version of Opera 7 for Linux has been released! Get it here: http://web.opera.com/download/unix/untested/intel-linux/353-20030214-P1/
Cheers!

No problem!
BTW, the shared version seems not to work with Qt -3.1.0-r3 ...darkCyan is not found or whatever in 2_Qt....I don't know if they expect us to have Qt2 or what it's all about..But as I said, it doesn't work for me with 3.1.0-r3!
Trying the static now, it has to work!

If static doesn't work I think the static package must be b0rked.

| can't it be that it's not working because it's compiled with gcc 2.95? |

OK....The static version starts, but is not soooo useful: all menus are gone a'la OpenOffice.org (if you have seen these strange menus that consists of very tiny lines instand of letters, I had this problem with OO once). And since it's the static version, AA doesn't work 
And reason why shared doesn't work: yes, it might be gcc-2.95 .
And the last one, about ebuild: I don't know if there's any idea creating an ebuild now, when shared doesn't work and static is kinduva messed up...
Cheeers,
Jacob

Could be that I got it wrong but what do you mean by thin lines in the menus? Here Opera7 seems to run fine. I use the static build. At first a also had some thin lines (without looking a just ran the opera file in the directory I installed to), I think that's what you meant, but after running the install script, it seems to work just fine. Running it now.

I don't remember if I installed it or if I just ran it from the opera*static* directory, but I couldn't see any fonts in menus. But I'll try it... OK, thanks!

This is the error message I get

Did try out the M2 client on an IMAP account.
But it crashed on me trying to list all the folders on the account. Only 14 folders in my account. Got a seg fault.
so I would say it is not really ready for prime use. Plus it sucks that it takes the web browser with it. |

Since I was without me Gentoo in about 48h (downgraded glibc...don't try this at home) I had a chance (well...I was forced to) try out the Windows version of Opera 7.02. And all I have to say: the best webbrowser I *ever* used! I mean it... I always like Opera, but the new Windows version...I don't know how to put it...Everything's so nice and fast and stable and cute and easy to use....
And M2?? Yes, great! What I love most is it's support for mailing lists...Never seen something like this (done by the e-mail client automaticly). It just detects all my sf.net and others mailing lists, puts them in each category, adds e-mails to the list as well e-mails to ppl active on the list, and so on and so on...Really SWEET!
Go Opera! Hope that you will get the Linux version as stable as the Windows one....

}

To get this working follow these steps:
1. Copy this text to /path/to/your/PORTDIR_OVERLAY/net-www/opera/opera-7.0.0_pre2.ebuild.
2. If you want to use shared-3.2 or shared-2.95 versions of opera set your OPERA_VARIANT now.
| Code: | | # export OPERA_VARIANT="shared-3.2" |
3. cd to the directory where the opera ebuild is and do
| Code: | | ebuild opera-7.0.0_pre2.ebuild digest |
4. Now you can do emerge -u opera

| It obviously tries to dissect webpages and creates menus for it with "guessed" functionality. Try forums.gentoo.org and look at the top. |

Strips: That's odd. The ebuild is almost enterily same as 6.11-r1. I only changed some variables. If old versions are working for you then this should work also. Maybe something is wrong with your portage or something went wrong when you copied the ebuild.
Kodama: I checked all the paths and they should work. Notice that you may get some 404 errors while portage is going through gentoo servers before it downloads package from the url given in ebuild. |

The 404 errors was probably because of temporary problems with my Internet connection earlier today, however now I get the same error as Strips.
I tried editing my opera-6.11 ebuild, changing only the source and version strings, but still I got the same error.
Oh well, I installed it manually *sigh*  I found a nice improvement, "only open popup windows when wanted"(or something) , but I found too many bugs elsewhere, back to 6.11. |

I finally found out what is causing that error. There are certain restrictions on how ebuild can be named. Without a proper name it won't work. I probably should have mentioned this on my first post.
To get it working just rename your ebuild to opera-7.0.0_pre2.ebuild. |

|
|
Hi guys. I followed the recipe above and installed, but
(OK, I actually did "emerge unmerge opera-static" first, and stupidly still had that version of opera open during the install of opera-7, but should that matter?)
Anyway, after doing the ebuild stuff as described above:
/usr/bin/opera was a dead link to /opt/opera/bin/opera - no opera in path. I searched the whole disk for opera without finding the executable.
So I untarred the distribution file
/usr/portage/distfiles/opera-7.0.0-20030311.4-shared-qt.i386.tar.gz and ran install.sh as root, and installed to the default locations.
Opera runs (without java until I set that env variable),
but:
* CTRL+Tab to switch between tabbed pages doesn't work (it worked on the old opera once I disabled the KDE shortcuts for these).
* It is impossible to edit the bookmarks by dragging them around. Under windows you can drag them straight onto the personal bar. Also, I can't _open_ the personal bar in the bookmark editor!!
* The google/other search box on the toolbar doesn't work.
Now, the first and last are almost showstoppers for me
Is it just me? Should I rename .opera and start again?
I'm using kde 3.1
Thanks in advance,
bL
