"Opera widgets" are cool... (Or: klik bundle of Opera 9.1 weekly snapshot available)
This evening I've created a new klik recipe, for Opera 9.1. It makes the klik client fetch from Opera's download site their current weekly snapshot of the upcoming 9.1 release and transform it into a typical "1 application == 1 file == 1 click to download+run" klik bundle.
It was cool to see Opera Widgets work flawlessly on this new klik bundle. Their widget creating community has produced an amazing number of small applications that run inside Opera -- and many of them are truely awesome and creative.
I'm looking forward to see the same type of applications and extensions appearing on the KDE4 platform (probably running on top of Plasma, Aaron?).
I've added a klik Wiki page for Opera 9.1 with hints for klik newbies, and also some pre-cautionary measures to backup their $HOME/.opera/ directory containing personal settings and other stuff they probably won't like to loose if something goes wrong.
The lsb-discuss list got a mail describing the bundle, so that interested ISVs can look at the packaging and software distribution technology around klik.
At this time, 10 users have run it, and 5 have given feedback, none of them indicating any problem. Looks like it runs without any flaw on SUSE-10.0, (K)Ubuntu Dapper and Ubuntu Edgy.
Would you please let us know about your distro too? Does it work for you? Do the Opera Widgets also work?
(In case of problems, make sure you read the klik User's FAQ)
