Hi FreeBSD-Gnomers,

http://www.freebsd.org/gnome/docs/faq2.html#q1 says that pkg_add will
install GNOME 2.20.

> To install GNOME 2.20 from packages, use the command:
> # pkg_add -r gnome2
>
> This will download the latest GNOME 2.20 packages from the FreeBSD FTP site, and proceed to install them on your system.

However, the packages available (e.g. at
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/amd64/packages-7-current/All/)
are all from 2.18.3.

Perhaps the FAQ was updated too soon?


Anders
