Where do I get the descriptions off the git
website? (And apt/yum/etc. package names if available.)
Okay, a bit of background is in order I guess. I’ve just built a new box,
lots of ram, lots of disk, so initially I just wanted to install all of the
TDE user apps just to try them out.
After Michele pointed out a way to see the names of all the apps, I remembered
a conversation from several months back that it was suggested someone
[could/should] add a wiki page so the updating of TDE app information could
be off-loaded from the devs.
Since I now had all the app names, if I could also get the descriptions from
git.trinitydesktop.org/cgit , or similar, then I could write a script that
would build that wiki page. If there is also a programmatic way to get the
apt/yum/etc. package names I can also add that to the script so that
information is also available for new users.
Hence the request for the the specific file (or file pattern) within
git.trinitydesktop.org/cgit that contains the "Description:" text that is
displayed by, for example, "apt show tdeedu-trinity".
Apologies for the confusion my original rambling caused.
Thanks,
Michael

I don't use Debian/Ubuntu but I believe that the description of the
package is written in the "control" file and there's also a description
field in the "spec" file for RPM packages.
Have you had a look on the packaging repository in git?
