I’d suggest making it read-only until the next release, then archive the repo on fenicsproject.org. (We should probably do the same for FErari.) > - How do we handle installation in Dorsal?

One is that since it doesn’t change often, having it in a separate repo lead to the development problem of dependent changes across repos.
