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:
This library allows reading and writing gzip-compressed JSON catalog files, which can be used to store GPG, PKCS-7 and SHA-256 checksums for each file. It provides equivalent functionality to the catalog files supported in Microsoft Windows. Unlike Microsoft catalog files which are a signed manifest of hashes, a Jcat file is a manifest of signatures. This means it's possible (and positively encouraged) to modify the .jcat file to add new signatures or replace existing ones.
