Yeah, I understand that not all naming schemes will map well into the Arch namespace. If I were trying to do so for ion, I might use something like "ion--v2--0" for the version; specific releases within that version could be labeled with a symbolic tag branch, described here: http://regexps.srparish.net/tutorial-tla/symbolic-tags.html#Symbolic_Tags You don't need to type the "--0" most of the time either; you can $ tla get ion--v2 and it will grab the latest revision of the highest version number (in this case 0).
