Opera 11.01-1190 sfs4 .sfs and .pet packages, unmodified
Posted: Sat 29 Jan 2011, 08:43
Note: for Puppy 2.14 (and other Puppies which take a version 3.0 squashfile) (or the old-style .pet as used in Puppy 2.14) see

This is unmodified Opera 11.01-1190.i386. It was created by running my Clipper packaging script on the standard Ubuntu .deb package from opera.com. I only modified two areas:
1. The .desktop files, to make Categories match what Puppy understands
(and to get rid of that annoying %U in the exec line)
and
2. The .deb package touches or overwrites /etc/cups/printers.conf and printers.conf0. I'm guessing that this is the result of a mistake made by whoever created the .deb. If I'm wrong, then I'll post those two files below.
Unlike my previous Opera 11 .pet and .sfs packages, this package does not contain any profile information (e.g. no /root/.opera) and I am not separating this one out by subversion, i.e. it is
/usr/bin/opera
not
/usr/bin/opera-11.01-1190.i386
et cetera.
The result is that, if you have an existing opera profile subdirectory
(/root/.opera), then this one will pick up your existing bookmarks and other profile preferences. Even so, if you have Opera previously installed, I suggest you do this:
1. Copy /root/.opera to /root/.opera-backup
2. Run opera-uninstall
3. Dismount the existing Opera .pet, or unmount the Opera .sfs in Boot Manager and reboot.
4. Copy /root/.opera-backup back as /root/.opera (or rename it)
and then install this .pet or .sfs. ***edited Feb 4 2011: there is a report that the /root/.opera of Opera 10 contains settings which mess up Opera 11, so if it can't work correctly with your present Opera settings from 10, then sorry, you'll just have to start fresh, that is, delete /root/.opera before installing this package, and not copy the old one back in.*** In my opinion, the new added speed of Opera 11, and its remarkable stability, are worth the sacrifice.
***edited Feb 7. Good heavens, this is embarrassing. The versions which I had posted, still had the subdir /root/.opera and *did* have the %U in the .desktop file.***
New corrected versions, without /root/.opera and the .desktop %U:
(aw, nuts...in version 2, I didn't get the icons right.)
