Hi!
I want to try latest Opera 25 BETA, but this is only available in DEB. I have OpenSUSE and i need RPM.
I know its possible to convert from DEB to RPM. Anyone tried this with luck?

You can try these instructions: https://gist.github.com/ruario/99522c94838d0680633c

I used Alien: "sudo alien -r opera-beta_25.0.1614.54_amd64.deb" and it worked perfect

I have been burned by alien before. It makes really crappy packages. It will also fail on recent Fedora releases since, it won't initiate a work around for the differences in naming of the libcrypto library.

If you find the manual instructions too much and want something more automated you can use this script to handle install and even automatic updates.

I see this thread often turns up in search results so I'll reawaken it to post a link:
