Acronyms capitalized, no dot at the end together with Symbols

Question

UPDATE 2014-11-20: Found a solution for the dot inside wikibooks. You have to use \usepackage[nopostdot]{glossaries}.

---

I want my abbreviations to be all capitalized and without dot at the end.
At the moment it looks like this.

There should also be no dot for symbols, which looks similar:

Using both inside the text shouldn't change. The terms should still be lower case as in:

My MWE:

\documentclass{report}

\usepackage{makeidx}
\usepackage[nonumberlist,toc,acronym]{glossaries}
\newglossary[slg]{symbolslist}{syi}{syg}{Symbols}
\makeglossaries

\newacronym{ipp}{IPP}{integer programming problem}
\newacronym{mipp}{MIPP}{mixed-integer programming problem}
\newacronym{bpmn}{BPMN}{Business Process Model and Notation}
\newacronym{omg}{OMG}{Object Management Group}

\newglossaryentry{symb:delta}{
    sort={3},
    name={$\Delta$},
    first={$\Delta$},
    text={$\Delta$},
    description={Difference between two observations},
    type=symbolslist
}
\newglossaryentry{symb:n}{
    sort={3},
    name={$n$},
    first={$n$},
    text={$n$},
    description={Number of replications of a simulation},
    type=symbolslist
}

\begin{document}

\printglossary[type=\acronymtype,style=long ,title=Abbreviations, toctitle=Abbreviations]
\printglossary[type=symbolslist,style=long ,title=Symbols]

Hello World

\textbf{Acro:} \\
\gls{ipp} \\
\gls{mipp} \\
\gls{bpmn} \\
\gls{omg} \\

\textbf{Sym:} \\
\gls{symb:delta} \\
\gls{symb:n} \\

\end{document}

Please make sure to run it with makeindex:

pdflatex %name%
makeindex %name%.idx -t %name%.ilg -o %name%.ind
makeindex -s %name%.ist -t %name%.alg -o %name%.acr %name%.acn
makeindex -s %name%.ist -t %name%.glg -o %name%.gls %name%.glo
makeindex -s %name%.ist -t %name%.slg -o %name%.syi %name%.syg
pdflatex %latex_cmd%

Any help would be appreciated.

Answer 1

There is a much easier way, than showed by Iony.

According to wikibooks, just use

\usepackage[nopostdot]{glossaries}

and the dots are gone..

Answer 2

Thanks to cgnieder the problem was solved, using the description tag as a workaround.

MWE for solution:

\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage[acronym,description,nopostdot]{glossaries}
\makeglossaries

\newacronym[description=This is a test]{test}{Test}{this is a test}
\newacronym[description=Operating Room]{or}{OR}{operating room}
\newacronym[description=Electrocardiogram]{ecg}{ECG}{electrocardiogram}


\newglossaryentry{web}{
  name={World Wide Web},
  first={World Wide Web (WWW)},
  text={WWW},
  description={A distributed system of linked hypertext documents}
}
\begin{document}

Here comes \gls{test}

Here comes \gls{web}

Here comes \gls{or}

Here comes \gls{ecg}

\printglossary[type=\acronymtype]

\printglossary
\end{document}
