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!

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).

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).

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 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.
