They don't want it there?

from my experience everything on the latest release is real old

and it takes about a week to rebuild it all from the ports

that's just retarted

Oh come now. I use a seven year old computer and it takes about 12 hours to build from ports, and less for an update. FreeBSD will have it shortly, though I always avoid the first Gnome release and wait at least for the first minor revision. There just are too many bugs early on.

from FreeBSD porting or from gnome itself ?

Usually GNOME itself.

The OP can rest assured, I'm sure the people behind marcuscom are working on it. It just takes some time to test everything and make sure other ports don't break.

Well I didn't have an answer file built so it would stop sevral times waiting for input and it was a comp at work so I could only answer the prompts when I was there so it did take about 3 days

Or, if you are happy with the defaults, just run it as a batch.

Also, generally, a new gnome version is committed in ports after the port freeze for a new FreeBSD release.
So the packages on iso images are older but far more tested and consolidated.
And now we are "near" to 7.2.
