I'm the original one that posted it.  Note that MPACK will see the repo on
a non-supported OS regardless as before installation, it will check for OS
version.  I eventually decided to hack lsb-release and os-release and
issue* all in /etc, in order to allow the install (on Ubuntu 20, pretending
to be Ubuntu18) to proceed to install.  I can't help you regarding CentOS
to make the OS to pretend to be CentOS 7; likely is that you edit certain
files.

Even if you add your OS into the json file, Ambari will run but not mpack.
