   using Opera 9.23 on Linux

   Once again a “security update” that apparently is so immensely unimportant that nobody at opera can spend half a minute putting it on deb.opera.com. I don’t mind paying for opera (and in fact I have paid for it), but I simply can’t stand this “you’re using the right way to update your debian/ubuntu so therefore you are a second class citizen” attitude of opera software.

   using Opera 9.23 on Windows XP

   Being part of the problem (destructive criticism) will not get you what you want any quicker, i am sure there are forums or places u could go to lobby or pressure opera to post the updates at deb.opera.com. even if it is to keep them on their toes. i have a problem with that too when i update my ubuntu box, but even so, i have to download it on windows manually anyway so i dont see the extra couple steps of downloading it for ubuntu a real problem.

   BTW. i’m sure i read somewhere that opera was now included in the ubuntu software delivery system.. unless i was mistaken and my spectacles needed cleaning that day…

   I don’t see how telling about how I feel opera software treats me is destructive. And even if it was criticism of security updates not being delivered would still not be part of this problem.
   Also, in my experience it doesn’t help at all to post such criticism where a lot of other people are posting their views on lots of things. Here I hoped that Mr Goldman might know someone who might know someone who has something to do with deb.opera.com, and thus I hope the fact that people are unhappy about opera’s half-assedness regarding deb.opera.com might be communicated to the right person(s).

   using Opera 9.50 on Windows XP

   Marcus, deb.opera.com should have the latest files by now. Pushing out a new release is a long process, as we need to updated many builds for different OSs (in addition for the custom builds for our business (b2b) customers).

   using Opera 9.23 on Linux

   I got the update on the 19th (IIRC, or maybe the 18th). Great! I don’t mind waiting a day or two (as opposed to the month or so we had to wait prevously), so to have the new version in the repos within a day or two is absolutely wonderful!
