Where are we today?

[Lester Caine]

Having been using Hg via TortoiseHG for many years I've got a lot of 
material tied up in it. A while back I had to move to OpenSUSE 
Tumbleweed to get the hardware on a new laptop working and I've been 
fighting the problems that creates since day one, but at least the key 
components work ... all but TortoiseHG and hggit :(

I think part of the problem is the decision on OpenSUSE to kill off 
Python2 and only support 3 or at least that is how it seems when I try 
and fix things. I've recently needed to get at some code history and 
have thg 5.4.1 running which says ...
with Mercurial-5.4.2, Python-3.8.3, PyQt-5.13.2, Qt-5.15.0 and while the 
community repo's have a 5.4.2 thg the .1 version is at least using the 
same official repo's without needing personal ones. But I can't find a 
way to get hggit installed even though in the past I've downloaded it 
myself direct, but I'm of an age now where even writing things down I 
can't remember how to do them!

I would happily switch to the windows machine but even that has problems 
when in the past it WAS a simple install including hggit.

So basically ... what is the best way currently to retain access to 
github hosted projects that I've been locally hosting on hg since 
porting them from CVS and SVN :(
