      Are beta versions of Opera for Linux ever presented in RPM format or (more flexibly) tar.bz2 format? Some long-reported issues have been resolved in the betas (or at least have workarounds possible in the betas), so it would be good to move beyond v. 12.16.

      Thanks,

        Not yet, but they did post instructions for how to install the files on non-Debian systems here.

          In addition to those instructions I have knocked up some quick scripts that will automate installation on non-Debian distros, or unpack Opera to run in place. My scripts are linked from that github document.

            I should also add that several distros have begun to offer a repackaged version of Opera beta (and/or developer) directly. For example Arch users can install Opera from the AUR. Reports back from users of other distros suggest that Opera will indeed run quite well on non-Debian/Ubuntu based distros.
