Let's just say that the while approach of re-inventing software packaging yet again for your particular software suite is a popular hobby and burns through a great deal of developer time. Right now, it's been burning yours: I see no trace that pycharm, or the build tool kotlin, have been successfully compiled by anyone outside the particular IntelliJ developers who wrote those tarballs.
