hi there,

the following is a (less then stellar) port of opera's
10b with unite.

this port is _not_ an update for 9.64.
it makes a separate package called opera10 (not opera-*)
and installs everything mozilla style into /usr/local/opera10.
it is possible to install it alongside 9.64.  it does not install
the system wide configs, the desktop file, the icons and the
man page.

it also has a modified startup script and automatically uses
".opera10" as profile directory (as opposed to ".opera") and
leaves your other opera alone.

if you want to move your prefs from 9.64, just copy them over.
but some filenames/directories have changed, so beware (still,
i have no problems running it with my 9.64 profile directory,
but back it up, because downgrading is not so bump free)

the point of this port is to let people play with unite and with
the beta -- it is blindingly fast (esp with javascript heavy sites
like gmail and facebook) -- i am not sending this so it gets
committed.

i have not tested the flash plugin and have no interest in it
really.

the only static version at the moment for linux is gcc4 compiled.
if this is a step forward, remains to be seen.  i hope there will
be more choices for the final builds.

start it with
$ /usr/local/opera10/bin/opera

have fun.
