FWIW, it does not need a script, upstream also offers RPM packages since quite some time, they can be installed directly from http://get.opera.com/pub/opera/desktop/ Although I've not found any halfway current information on whether we are allowed to redistribute those, maybe someone needs to ask Opera for that.

No harm meant, but we do have Otter browser as an alternative: https://github.com/OtterBrowser/otter-browser
