Package's name change? / makepkg can't fetch sources from my URL!

Question

My next package to submit to the AUR has had an official namechange from z80 Assembly IDE to Wabbitcode. The program still displays the old name; however, it is going to be changed soon. Therefore I am torn on what name to use, seeing as it does not look like you have an option later to change a package's name. Would it still be all right to use the newer name in the PKGBUILD even though it is still using the older one? (until it gets updated with a new name in a little while)

Okay... then I have one more question. I'm trying to build in the md5sum check; however, my knowledge of bash is limited and I'm obviously doing something wrong. I am having it abort if the sums do not match... but right now it is always aborting, even if they do. Could somone tell me what I am doing wrong?
build()
cd ${srcdir}
wget "http://www.revsoft.org/phpBB2/download.php?id=370" -O z80asmide-1.2.tar.gz
md5sum z80asmide-1.2.tar.gz > MD5SUM
MD5SUM1=MD5SUM
if [ ${MD5SUM1} != "0a9c4523cf1416660217904652134593 z80asmide-1.2.tar.gz" ]; then
echo "ERROR: MD5 checksums do not match. Aborting...."
exit 1
fi
rm MD5SUM
bsdtar -x -f z80asmide-1.2.tar.gz
cd ${pkgname}-${pkgver}
make || return 1
mkdir -p $pkgdir/usr/bin/
make install DESTDIR=$pkgdir
Actually, I wouldn't put wget in build. I would just run it manually.
That way, when 3.2.1 is released, you don't have to edit that PKGBUILD again, the normal one will already work just fine.
That would also avoid you that md5 problem altogether. it is way too overkill to re-implement that in the build() function. Don't do that
Just for your information (ie for educational purpose, not actual use), try this :
sum=$(md5sum z80asmide-1.2.tar.gz | awk '{print $1}')
[ $sum != "0a9c4523cf1416660217904652134593" ] && return 1
Edit : I just saw catwell beat me to it with a slight alternative which is all fine too
