Questions as to the maintenance status of individual ports should be taken up with the respective maintainer - you can always figure that out with "make maintainer" in the ports's directory, and currently that is freebsd-maintainer@opera.com for both www/opera and www/opera-devel. If there are issues that the maintainer does not respond for extended amounts of time, we can either reset the maintainer, hand the project to a new maintainer, or commit non-maintainer updates. Alternatively, you could try to enable Linux emulation (see the FreeBSD handbook for details), and then use www/linux-opera, currently at release 10.63. However, given it's based on the Fedora 10 Linux distribution which is no longer maintained upstream and ships a vulnerable pango library according to VuXML, this bears a share of problems of its own, from installation (overriding vulnerability checks) to run-time use. -- Matthias Andree
