As a short-term fix, download the "Other (RPM)" version from Opera's site and convert it to a TazPkg:

tazpkg convert opera-10.60-6386.tazpkg

You, like me, can then install that until the script is fixed.

Thanks for the reply, seawolf. I have done what you've suggested. Although I the installation produced a number of warnings about unresolved dependencies and something about gstreamer, Opera 10.60 seems to work without problems. I wonder if the RPMs for Fedora or Mandriva may be even closer to what's needed in SliTaz? Anyways ... for the time being Opera 10.60 works well. When the script is fixed I will un-install and then properly re-install the package.

I've corrected the script and added a little bit to it (one output, a build number etc.) and as long as there are no complaints will add it to the repos:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6413248/get-opera
It will need a `chmod +x get-opera` after download, before run. It still downloads the RPM, re-packs it in to a TazPkg; you will still have 'opera-10.60-6368.tazpkg' installed as normal.

The directories and filename suffixes have changed which I is what broke it.
The script will need to be updated with each major release, certainly; we will have to see if they keep more than then latest build.

HIH.

Hi,

Since http://hg.slitaz.org/wok/rev/c0a4a7364798 get-opera download the lastest rpm available.

Thanks to both of you, seawolf & bellard. I first tried Captain Larsen's new script but this got stuck because the URL still seems to be wrong ...

root@slitaz:/home/tux/Downloads# chmod +x get-opera.sh
root@slitaz:/home/tux/Downloads# get-opera

... then I tried to merge the changed bits from bellard's page into the script. But it didn't work. I guess, I'm just not smart enough for this ... :-)

I've already removed 10.60 and gone back to 10.11
JMO but the UI stinks and it takes forever to start...

Pascal's changes don't work for me either, though my script works fine here :-S Can anyone else test it?

@Darjeeling:
I noticed you used the command:
get-opera

But, as you're in the Downloads directory, I assume you downloaded my script there? If so, you'll need to make sure you run that and not the original you have in /usr/bin.

If you still have the 'get-opera' *package* installed, you just called the old script from that!

Run the new one with a dot-slash prefix:
/home/tux/Downloads
chmod +x get-opera
./get-opera

@seawolf ... yes, that was a stupid mistake. To make up for this I did the real thing this time. I copied your script to /usr/bin and ran it as root from my home directory, which worked without any problems. Great!

The only difference to previous Opera installations is that the icon is now called opera-browser.png (it used to be just opera.png). After the installation this has to be changed in /usr/share/applications/Opera.desktop ...

Icon=opera-browser.png

Another thing I noticed is that Opera no longer needs the command line parameter -notrayicon to get red of the annoying tray icon. It actually doesn't start at all with this parameter in the command line. To disable the tray icon one has to use "about:config" scroll down to "User Preferences" and change "Show Tray Icon" in there.

Here's how your script looks in the terminal ...

tux@slitaz:~$ su

root@slitaz:/home/tux# get-opera
