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.
