Salix OS

Any serious reason why you do not provide the latest version of Opera?

Thank you.

No, packages are just not updated yet.

Any idea when they will be updated?

Thank you.

I have build latest version of Opera (using thenktor's SLKBUILD) for my own use. You can find it here http://people.salixos.org/djemos/opera/

At the moment my packages are available here: http://thenktor.dyndns.org/packages/opera/
I'll upload them to the repo as soon as they are tested.

@djemos @thenktor
Wish to say thank you to both of you.

Anyone wanting a Slackware/Salix package of specific Opera (or "Opera Next") alpha, labs, snapshot, beta, rc, final etc. release could use my op2slk script to convert one of the Opera tar packages into native format.

Thenktor, please update Opera to 11.11 in the Salix repo. This version fixes a security issue.

slapt-src -u
slapt-src -i opera

It needs rpm to build the package. /usr/src/opera-11.10/SLKBUILD uses tar.xz from opera site, but slapt-src's newer opera package uses rpm. It would be simplier if the packager use tar.xz as "source" (as he did with 11.10) and not rpm. Can you fix this?

Another question. What's the policy about binary package upgrades in Salix? Firefox upgraded from 4.0 to 4.0.1 in Salix binary repo, why not Opera?

Note: I'm an advanced Linux user, I can update SLKBUILD file to 11.11, or make SlackBuild script, but I've installed Salix for beginner users and it would be better if Salix official repo include this update, so salix-update-notifier notifies these kind of users about update and they can upgrade with some clicks without unofficial repo or without the need of install package manually with spkg.
