In the past I revised the ebuild for Opera a couple of times to get all the 
versions correctly mangled to fit the paths Opera Inc likes to use. I have now 
used versionator.eclass to rewrite the ebuilds so that they use PV instead of 
harcoded path segments. Naturally, the official release date then becomes part 
of PV...

Two ebuilds to follow: one for a regular release and one (different format) for 
Opera's previews. Maybe at one point I will write a single ebuild template that 
handles both regular releases and previews as well as beta releases.

In both ebuilds I left RESTRICT="nomirror" to aid in testing them...

I thin the release date shouldn't be included in the official version since it
isn't interesting to the end user. Also it doesn't make a difference if you
specify the date in the ebuild name or in the ebuild itself.But in the end I
don't really care, it's nothing really important.

sorry, for me they are not really more maintainer-friendly. changing two lines in the ebuild is not to much i think and the release date shouldn't be included in the ebuildname, so for now i close this as wontfi
