I've been using opera for years now but I have never used the various mail and chat clients that have been included. The question if these features should be made optional or not has been raised in the opera forums numerous times but it hasn't lead to anything. The best way to remove mail and chat support so far is to remove the mail and chat client called m2.so (this solution works well as far as I know and it might also make opera start faster). I've modified the opera ebuild (opera-7.50_alpha1.ebuild) and added a local use flag called nomailandchat (much the same way as the mozilla ebuild) which removes m2.so before installing opera. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.

i like that idea, changed the name of the useflag to operanom2 though
doesn't work right now: "/usr/sbin/ebuild.sh: line 75: operanom2: command not found" there are 2 changes that I've made to make it work: 1) m2.so has to be removed before ./install.sh 2) modified if-statement anyway, thanks for adding this to portage

yes, it works now but I think it's time to emerge alpha2 :)
