Hi,

There is a new opera 26.0.x which awsome generate websites, but for the work I prefer the old one 12.16.

Is it possible to have in one system 2 version of the opera?

Not using portage, but you might be able to emerge one version and manually install a second version in a different directory

Also notice that there's three different opera branches available in portage: equery list -p opera* returns

Code:
 * Searching for opera* ...
[IP-] [  ] www-client/opera-12.16_p1860-r1:0
[-P-] [ ~] www-client/opera-26.0.1656.32:0
[-P-] [ ~] www-client/opera-26.0.1656.60:0
[-P-] [  ] www-client/opera-beta-27.0.1689.29:0
[-P-] [  ] www-client/opera-beta-27.0.1689.33:0
[-P-] [  ] www-client/opera-developer-28.0.1738.0-r1:0


So, while not exactly what you want, I would expect it to be possible to install both opera 12 and opera beta 27 for example.

Hope this helps!

You can't use different slots, all opera versions are in the same slot, but you can install opera and opera-beta at the same time, but that would be version 27, and not 26, if that's OK with you then you can just: emerge opera opera-beta
