Ahoj,

your package downloads the source files without version information.

This leads to issues if download is done to a central, more permanent storage, e.g. when $SRCDEST is set in the /etc/makepkg.conf: 

==> Validating source files with sha256sums...
    wimboot ... FAILED
    wimboot.i386 ... FAILED

(Files of older version still present.)

Please make the downloaded filenames version specific.

diff to the PKGBUILD which achieves this (and adds versioned provides entry, too):
