This patch updates the www/opera-devel port to version 7.50 Preview 2 (aka 20040218). A changelog can be found here: http://people.opera.com/espen/changelog/changelog-7.50p2.html
Yes, P2 is an improvement so far. Please commit soon! Any idea how we can add some plugins to it? - java - acrobat - flash - realplayer I would love to do that. But I have some open questions: - Does Opera adhere to some Netscape plugin spec, or something unique? - Is the FreeBSD version enabled to add plugins? - We would need to find some trick to link in FreeBSD and Linux native plugins somehow. - Has this been done for Mozilla already? Where could I obtain technical information? Or which person one should contact? Regards, Marc

Opera uses Netscape plugins, although it calls Java directly (no Netscape plugin). > > - Is the FreeBSD version enabled to add plugins? Yes, but it doesn't work on 5.x systems. > > - We would need to find some trick to link in > FreeBSD and Linux native plugins somehow. See the www/linuxpluginwrapper port. Opera can only use this on 4.x. I'm not running 4.x myself, but I've been told that you can run Flash in Opera on 4.x if you use www/linuxpluginwrapper, just as you can in Mozilla / derivatives and Konqueror. For this to work on 5.x, Opera needs to do a 5.x build. This may happen soon :). > > - Has this been done for Mozilla already? www/linuxpluginwrapper again. > > Where could I obtain technical information? > Or which person one should contact? The Opera team knows of the problems with plugins in FreeBSD, and it's definitely on the TODO list. Arjan

What I lack is Java Applet and Java Webstart. Webstart is some external program, I don't know if it is already ported in the diabolo release. But to display an applet would need intimate cooperation with the browser, ie. some plugin, or am I wrong here? >> - Is the FreeBSD version enabled to add plugins? > > Yes, but it doesn't work on 5.x systems.
