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?
