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.

textproc/py-backrefs: New port

Backrefs is a wrapper around Python's built-in Re and the 3rd party
Regex library.

Backrefs adds various additional back references (and a couple other
features) that are known to some regular expression engines, but not to
Python's Re and/or Regex.  The supported back references actually vary
depending on the regular expression engine being used as the engine may
already have support for some.
