For me it makes more sense to use ruby-$gemname for *all* packages created from gems. It makes things simpler.

- I agree. I already do this for several of my packages, such as ruby-adsfAUR, ruby-reekAUR, and ruby-nanocAUR.

- Python Package Guidelines#Package naming has a similar naming convention:
python-packagename
for libs andpackagename
for applications. If the naming standard changes for Ruby packages, then the naming standard should also change for Python packages, purely for the sake of consistency. - Ichimonji10 (talk) 03:26, 9 December 2013 (UTC)
- I believe all other language PKGBUILD guidelines (perl/python/..) have the same rule. And all of them should be changed.

- I would love to see that happen. I don't know the magnitude of such a task or who would need to be convinced. Ichimonji10 (talk) 20:40, 16 December 2013 (UTC)
- I retract my earlier support for this proposal. I've come to see the wisdom in naming applications after the program itself. I would dislike, for example, searching the AUR or repositories for c-vsftpd or shell-git. And what about programs that are not single-language? For example, I don't think that git is comprised of a single language. Ichimonji10 (talk) 03:18, 25 June 2014 (UTC)

Testing
Are there any Ruby packages that utilise PKGBUILD's check function?

Removing cruft
Is it standard practise to remove cruft from packages? Such as dotfiles (e.g. .gitlab-ci.yml) and unused directories (e.g. test/)?
I currently do this for fluentdAUR, and was wondering whether or not this was the right thing to do.
