I edited the /etc/lsb-release and /usr/lib/os-release files, then created the /etc/upstream-release/lsb-release path with the original lsb-release file.
the add-apt-repository command no longer works NoDistroTemplateException after this change but the change IS REQUIRED because I want to release my distro.
How do I make it work the same?
/etc/upstream-release/lsb-release:
DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=20.04
DISTRIB_CODENAME=focal
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 20.04.4 LTS"
/etc/lsb-release:
DISTRIB_ID=MYDISTRO
DISTRIB_RELEASE=1.0
DISTRIB_CODENAME=mycodename
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="MYDISTRO 1.0.0"
/usr/lib/os-release:

For privacy reasons I cannot write the real name of the distro and I changed it with MYDISTRO and with MyCodeName
