The recently imposed "must be logged in" restriction is a response to increased bot traffic on the site. This affects search, commits, and vuxml pages.
Search engines are not blocked. Try using "site:www.freshports.org" and your search terms.
After the ports freeze to fix some stuff, the freeze is over. I have some work to do before FreshPorts can start processing commits again before it can start processing again. I've created an issue for that.

devel/py-backports.*: resolve conflicts with devel/py-backports

devel/py-backports does basically nothing except to install the
/usr/local/lib/python3.*/site-packages/backports/__init__.py file.
Several other py-backports.* ports also installed the same file, with
identical contents.  That created runtime conflicts that prevented
certain ports from being installed, including sysutils/py-salt.

Fix the conflicts by patching the offending ports to stop installing
that file, and instead depend on devel/py-backports.
