 Posted: Tue Sep 20, 2005 7:53 pm Post subject: Opera-8.50 goes FREE (no banner adds), ebuild fails. |
 |
|
Just found out Opera went Open Source with no more banner adds, so I tried bumper to update the ebuild in portage, and that failed. Then I found this ebuild on bugzilla:
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=106696
It seemed to go OK in my portage overlay, completing the downloads & digests.
--------------------------------------------------------------

>>> Generating manifest file...

but then on emerge I got this error:

--------------------------------------------------------
I don't have much experience with epatch stuff, and could use some tips/advice on how to fix this up. Why haven't I got the /usr/local/portage/www-client/opera/files/opera.desktop file?
Also, I wasn't looking when I should have been, and missed this output- then I noticed it failed right afterwards.
Shortcut icons cannot be installed with the prefix "/var/tmp/portage/opera-8.50/image//opt/opera".
Do you still want to install them [ y,n | yes,no ] ?
I ran emerge opera again, but it doesn't pause at "Do you still want to install them [ y,n | yes,no ] ?" AT ALL, so you don't have a chance to say no.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
EDIT:
Hmmm. in the regular /usr/portage/www-client/opera/files, there are 7 items, but in /usr/local/portage/www-client/opera/files there is only one, the opera-8.50 digest file, and no other digests or qt patch files. The question is- why.
The /usr/portage manisfest file has 13 MD5 lines, while the portage overlay manifest has only 2 MD5's. This is apparently the problem, but why isn't " ebuild /usr/local/portage/www-client/opera/opera-8.5.0.ebuild digest" generating all the required files? It seemed to run and download OK.
This last try used the bugzilla ebuild, but I think the first one I tried with the bumper generated ebuild had the full array of new files in my overlay, but it failed the emerge opera too.

going freeware and skipping ad banner does not mean, that opera is open source and it still isn't.
i highly doubt, that Opera AS will release the source, since the core is still their cash cow.
there main sector is the embedded branch, so they have not much loss in releasing the pc no-ad version for free.
quite contrary they will gain image, so i think.
just 2 cent

You said it: no more banner ads, but that does not mean free or open source. The license file is still the same that in previous version. And the release is binary, not source code:
The license is "opera", as stated in portage:

So, not open source.
By the way, for me the portage release works well. |

Thanks guys,
I stand corrected. After actually reading the Opera license, I guess the key phrase is:
"You shall not modify, translate, reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble the Software or any part thereof or otherwise attempt to derive source code or create derivative works therefrom."
When I was reading the comments on OSNews, where I saw this Opera item, I must have misunderstood, because I thought I saw several comments where they were mentioning or implying that "now the users would be able to improve the code" (or something to that effect). Obviously, that's incorrect. 
Anyway, I'll sync up, and try the new portage ebuild again, and give it a test.

It is a nice new version, though...
I hope you will be able to download and test it finally. I had to look into it a little to customize to my likings (I like better flat look and I had to change some fonts). The rest is all working fine, and it also autodetected my nsplugins cleanly. All works like a charm, and is as fast as ever, but without the ads.
About the license, well, is not your fault. The Opera web is not clear in that matter, and the license is not exposed cleanly (it is very suspicious that they make so much work in "fancy wording" to hide from final users that ). In fact, the only way to see the license before instsalling the package is to uncompress it by hand and find it in the uncompresed directory.
After that you can also see it in the about section of the help menu.
It is a know publicitary trick: not to clear things so much, so people can be confused sometimes, like you did. But, believe me: is not your fault, that plan was made by an evil Opera man.  |
