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.

*/*: Use C.UTF-8 locale

Ports 02f27a83b44d fixed the ports tree to the C locale so it would work
correctly in environments where users use a locale that isn't compatible
with the C locale, e.g. xx_YY.UTF-8 where [A-Z] includes more than just
upper case letters.  USE_LOCALE was introduced to let ports use another
locale if they needed it.  The C.UTF-8 locale was created later on to be
mostly compatible with the C locale.

Switch the ports tree locale to C.UTF-8 and remove USE_LOCALE.  The
world has moved to Unicode so all ports either require it or know how to
build correctly in a Unicode environment.
