This is a follow-up to #475183

My original preferred idea was to not use the meta attributes for desktop files anymore and just patch the desktop files provided by JetBrains... but turns out there are none!

So I figured it's easiest if we just keep using the meta attributes. I adjusted the comments a bit, improved the formatting and changed some descriptions to be a bit shorter (but I think the rest is up to the individual maintainers).

I also made sure the longDescription is trimmed before used in the desktop file to avoid unnecessary rebuilds on whitespace changes.

Not sure why, but we're seeing:

Changed packages (9)

  • jetbrains.datagrip
  • jetbrains.dataspell
  • jetbrains.gateway
  • jetbrains.goland
  • jetbrains.idea
  • jetbrains.idea-oss
  • jetbrains.phpstorm
  • jetbrains.pycharm
  • jetbrains.pycharm-oss

I would've expected the trim + replaceString "\n" " " to have avoided any rebuilds.

This is because of some other minor typos I fixed, e.g. for idea and idea-oss:

-description = "... Jetbrains ...";
+description = "... JetBrains ...";
