Bugzilla Bug 227339

After installing opera-9.50 I discovered that it was 64 bit and couldn't use
the 32 bit java plugin. Opera should have an option that will allow amd64 users
to install the 32 bit version. I plan on coming up with a modified ebuild that
will implement a useflag to do this within the next 1-3 days. 

Reproducible: Always

An opera ebuild that adds the emul-x86 useflag to install the 32 bit version
instead

Hi amd64. How do you like it? And is there an existing USE flag that we could
reuse?

Created an attachment (id=157015) [edit]
A diff between My modified ebuild and the intree ebuild

I can't seem to find any existing flags to reuse, probably because most
packages like this just use a -bin package for this purpose, but, as Opera is
already binary.....

sooo, Is this use-flag based solution OK, or is creating an emul-linux-x86-
package more appropriate?

Please unmask and test =www-client/opera-9.50-r1 - it introduces the ia32 USE
flag which can be used to install the 32-bit binaries instead of the 64-bit
ones.

nice but it's missing the app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-qtlibs dependency

That should do it.

but 64bit Qt is not needed for 32bit Opera... maybe there should be something
like

amd64? (
        !ia32? ( =x11-libs/qt-3* )
        ia32? ( app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-qtlibs )
)

hmm, you guys broke the qt-static for amd64 when using the ia32 useflag.... so
you can't use have 32 bit and have static qt... (I really don't care to
download 32 bit qt JUST for opera)

Please use diff -u next time. This hurts my eyes. :(

Also, your diff appears to move many bits of whitespace around. It's hard to
see which non-trivial changes you're suggesting there. Could you please provide
a diff -u against the opera-9.50-r1.ebuild that is currently in the tree,
without any of those whitespace changes?

There's a 9.51_pre2052 in the tree now which Opera calls 9.51 RC1. I have added
the ia32 USE flag which allows you to install a qt3-static x86 build. I will
fix 9.50-r1 as soon as I find the time.

sorry about the whitespace

why can't you give people a choice as to wether to install a qt3-static x86
build, or an x86 build that uses emul-linux-x86-qtlibs? My ebuild does this
fine (now that I corrected that emul-linux-x86-qtlibs optional dependancy) .

ok, aparently portage (and paludis) don't allow nested dependancies the way I
have my 2nd ebuild setup. if there is a way to "rearrange" it so that both ia32
and qt-static work I'm ready to hear it.

I am sure we'll get that to work as well.

I have added www-client/opera-9.51 to the tree. The amd64 options now include
ALL x86 options through the ia32, qt-static and qt3-static USE flags. I would
like you to test a few combinations and see if they please you, and then report
back on this bug with solid criticism. :)

The ia32 USE flag is disabled on AMD64 for opera-9.51, even if present in
/etc/portage/package.use, since I upgraded to the new
/usr/portage/profiles/default/linux/amd64/2008.0/desktop profile

All I want is to have JAVA back, so I don't mind if instead of installing
32-bit opera I can do something else.

Thanks.

add www-client/opera -ia32 to /etc/portage/profile/package.use.mask for now,
until someone fixes it in-tree

Fixed again.
