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.

games/blues: fix build on powerpc64*

Since 15.0-RELEASE, objcopy --localize-hidden seems to
have stopped working properly on powerpc64*.
That causes linking issues:
ld: error: duplicate symbol: play_music
>>> defined at sound.c:78 (bb/sound.c:78)
>>>            game_bb.o:(play_music)
>>> defined at sound.c:66 (p2/sound.c:66)
>>>            game_p2.o:(.text+0x16900)

Everything seems fine on 14.3-RELEASE.
