To understand how fast you can create a new package, here is a quick guide.

Open Terminal and write:

mkdir -p ~/conary/foresight.rpath.org ~/conary/builds ~/conary/cache ~/conary/personal

cd conary

cd personal

cvc context personal
Now its done, created the “default folders” and a own personal folder. So now its time to remake opera package, lets say its a bit old and you want a newer today.

So lets go with opera.

Inside Terminal again, we are in folder /conary/personal/ and write:

cvc co opera:source=foresight.rpath.org@fl:2

It will create a opera folder inside personal folder. Everything for creating a “local” package is inside opera folder.

Lets go inside that folder with Terminal:

cd opera

If you like, you can open opera.recipe in gedit and edit the version nr to fit latest version. Now its time to cook it:

cvc cook opera.recipe
Lets wait few mins, until we can see:
Changeset written to: opera-10.00.ccs

Time to install it:

sudo conary update opera-10.00.ccs

Done, installed latest opera, built by yourself.

This is just a guide how to build a local package and install it, also getting a recipe thats already in Foresight repo.
