Installation of gnome software center on freebsd

[anglaro]

Hey guys, I just heard from a freebsd page that freebsd now supports gui app stores like kde discover or gnome software center at some extent.. https://www.freebsd.org/status/report-2024-01-2024-03/packagekit/

I have installed gnome 47 on my freebsd vm but I cant seem to find a way to install the gnome software center. I tried

pkg install gnome-software

but It cant seem to find it... I even searched on ports but I couldn't find it there either... Can anyone help me install the gnome software center on freebsd?

Gnome on non-SystemD reaches end-of-life at Gnome 48. It's not worth wasting any time on unless you are planning to switch to a SystemD Linux distro.

Yea, but the thing is that package kit in freebsd will support both gnome software and kde discover
Thats why Im asking if there is a way to get the gnome appstore or "gnome software center" as they call it

Chimera Linux doesn't have systemd and it has GNOME 49 now with gdm, gnome-session, gnome-settings-daemon, and gnome-initial-setup held back on 48.

KDE Discover in FreeBSD works only for KDE addons, doesn't see any apps or packages and neither can track updates.

Gnome is a genetic dead end only missing its rename to systemd-desktop. Their dependency on Systemd dynamic users is a mess. Hard forks like Cinammon or MATE if you don't care about using X.org is better.

The latest GDM on Linux needs like 35 processes while not even logged in.
