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.

Description:
libcanlock is a standalone implementation of RFC 8315 Netnews Cancel-Locks without external dependencies. It uses the recommended algorithm from Section 4 of the RFC with HMAC based on the same hash function as the selected Cancel-Lock scheme. The package installs: - libcanlock, a C library for creating and verifying Cancel-Locks; - canlock, a command line frontend to the library; - libcanlock-hp and the canlock-hfp/canlock-mhp utilities, which parse Cancel-Lock and Cancel-Key article header fields (RFC 8315 receivers).
