Opera 9 beta

[Javasnob]

Has anyone tried this out? I'm iffy about trying it because on the download site it says to only run on a properly backed-up system because it's beta software, but may that only really applies to Winblows...

I'm using beta right this very moment. I found an ebuild on bugs.gentoo.org but it was somewhat messed up so edited it and it now it works fine. If you want to try it you need to have portage overlay directory and then create the directories /usr/local/portage/www-client/opera/

for portage overlay you need this in your /etc/make.conf

PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage"

then paste the text of my attachment in a file called opera-9.0_beta1.ebuild

the run: ebuild opera-9.0_beta1.ebuild digest

then unmask this version in /etc/portage/package.unmask
by adding this line

~www-client/opera-9.0_beta1

then

emerge -va opera
