Opera download site doesn't offer RPM format package

I want to install Opera on CentOS (Redhat RHEL clone). However your download site (www.opera.com) is offering a .deb package file with no other package format choices. Redhat requires RPM formatted packages. .deb packages are used for Ubuntu and Debian; no good for Fedora nor RHEL OSes.

perhaps you might wish to consider alternate package formats such as tarballs if you cannot prepare a REDHAT package.

Hi @ranch-style, perhaps you are aware that a .deb is in principle a tarball. Ex-Opera employee Ruari has written a script that you can use to convert the .debs to .rpm, you can find it here: https://gist.github.com/ruario/3ed0d3a6c0764c4ae9f9
As far as official .rpm packages go, we are evaluating this: we do create them internally, but we don't have a repository set up yet to provide easy updates, which is a requirement for us to consider official support.

The russian-fedora community repo carries all of the opera RPMs.
