-
                Since Opera has a low-ram mode where e-mail,
                IRC, and RSS functionality is removed, and
                because it's primarily a browser, the icon
                launches this low-ram mode. Both are available
                in the menu.

Thanks Jason!

I don't want to sound ungrateful, but I just noticed by looking at http://www.opera.com/docs/changelogs/unix/ that 'Opera 10.10 beta 1' was released on 14.10.2009, whilst a newer stable version (Opera 10.01) was released 14 days later. I guess you had a reason to choose the beta release.

[Jason W]

Opera 10.10 being a previous version than 10.01 is a little deceptive when browsing the download directory.  But I will then upgrade this to 10.01 soon.

[Jason W]

Actually, 10.10 was listed as a final release.  Here is the download link:

ftp://ftp.opera.com/pub/opera/linux/1010/final/en/i386/opera-10.10.gcc4-qt4.i386.tar.bz2

Dated 11.22.09, so they might not yet have updated their home page.

Well done Jason!

Look's like you managed to provide the TC community with an Opera version before their marketing team got their act together

When I start the "old" Opera I get a message about Opera 10 being available.

Do I understand right from the post above that the current opera.tcz will be upgraded to Opera 10? Or is the new opera10.tcz what I need? Also if the former will it include the dependencies that the opera10.tcz has? No biggie, just wondering if I should wait and do a tce-update when the upgrade is out.

[Jason W]

I will get with Curaga about the update of opera.tcz.  Essentially the only difference between an updated opera.tcz and this one is the name.  With updates usually come larger size, more dependencies, and more resource usage.  Since there is a qt4 extension and a small but growing number of qt apps, using a modular and shared qt approach saves space when both opera and other qt apps are installed.  Fontconfig is now a hardcoded dependency, no longer optional.

This extension is to provide a current Opera in the mean time between now and an opera.tcz update.

Upgraded to Opera 10. Works good!

[curaga]

I intend to rename opera.tcz to opera9.tcz and to rename opera10.tcz to opera.tcz - so that the current Opera is always available just as "opera" but also the latest ver 9 for those who wish to use it.

Whilst I was looking into something else, I discovered that opera10.tcz.dep contains openssl-0.9.8h.tcz. I'm pretty sure that this is not required, since it appears that SSL is compiled into the opera executable.

I first checked my assumption with
    ldd /usr/local/lib/opera/10.10/opera | grep ssl
(which came back with an empty response). I then removed the openssl entry from my opera10.tcz.dep file, and installed opera10.tcz successfully. I encountered no problems when browsing https-pages in Opera.

[Jason W]

Thanks for looking into it, but Opera10 depends in qt-4.5-base, which depends on openssl-0.9.8h.  Therefore by definition Opera should have openssl-0.9.8h installed as a dependency.
