Proposed solution¶

Currently, sum_type is a TextField which stores an id(int) of checksum type as it defined in createrepo_c. The suggestion is:

• change a filed type and store an integer value in the PositiveIntegerField with choices, values for which are taken from what is supported in createrpo_c.
• write a migration to convert the field to integer
• convert a string representing checksum type to a createrepo_c id during upload
