Solved gnome-47 installation

[fmc000]

I would like to try GNOME on FreeBSD as I believe it's been 10 years or so since I last used it. https://ports.freebsd.org/cgi/ports.cgi?query=gnome&stype=name&sektion=gnome shows a "gnome-47" metaport but I can't find it when I look for "gnome" in the pkg output.

Hence my question: which is the preferred way to install GNOME 47 under FreeBSD? I would like to try the whole "experience" if possible.

I believe I found my answer. I suspect that there's no "gnome-47" metaport available because not all the packages are ready yet:
