 A publication can only be created once a sync task completes. You can specify checksum algorithm with the following optional parameters:
 
 - metadata_checksum_type: affects all the repodata, including primary.xml, repomd.xml, etc.
+  If not specified, the default SHA256 algorithm will be used.
 
 - package_checksum_type: affects package checksum type in all repo metadata files.
+  If not specified, the default SHA256 algorithm will be used.
+  Because of on_demand sync, it is possible that the requested checksum is not available.
+  In such case the one from the remote repo will be used.
