Package naming scheme (ruby-X or X-ruby)

I have a couple of packages that I want to build and both of them follow the scheme X-ruby (mysql-ruby and ncurses-ruby). Should I leave them like this or should I call them ruby-X instead?

The reason I ask is that  I thought there might be a standard but actually after looking at "pacman -Ss mysql" I am not sure since there is mysql-python and perl-dbd-mysql.

Re: Package naming scheme (ruby-X or X-ruby)

The naming scheme that Eric is pushing for is <language name>-<package>.

It's just that mysql-python hasn't been renamed to python-mysql yet.
