PKGBUILD Review: zimfw

Hi!

This is my first time attempting to create an AUR package. I'd like to submit it
to the official repository (the extra repository, to my understanding) and would
appreciate a review of the PKGBUILD beforehand.

Besides the code below, the zimfw.install file contains a post_install function
that prints additional installation instructions, and I'm understanding I should
also include a LICENSE file containg the Arch Linux's 0BSD license.

# Maintainer: Eric Nielsen <ericbn at proton dot me>

pkgname=zimfw
pkgver=1.20.0
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc='Zsh plugin manager'
arch=('any')
url='https://zimfw.sh'
license=('MIT')
depends=('zsh>=5.2')
source=("$pkgname-$pkgver.zsh.gz::https://github.com/zimfw/zimfw/releases/download/v$pkgver/zimfw.zsh.gz")
sha256sums=('b948ef89a2f6fe565197e0fa898046337168c78bfcbae43601baeb9cd51f7038')
install=zimfw.install

package() {
	cd "$srcdir"
	install -Dm0644 -T "$pkgname-$pkgver.zsh" "$pkgdir/usr/share/zimfw/zimfw.zsh"
}
