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.
Commit processing was halted at UTC 18:33 on 2026-08-05 for pkgbasify of jails and updating the host from 15.0 to 15.1 - same with jails. - that upgrade was completed by 18:53 - the website has caught up with the 6 commits it missed in that time.
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.

lang/babashka: Update to 1.13.219

Changes since 1.12.218:

1.13.219 (2026-07-27)

Highlights:

  * Tasks get automatic --help and shell completions, through the new
    :exec-fn and :cmd keys. See the blog post:
    https://blog.michielborkent.nl/babashka-tasks-cli.html
    These task keys should be considered experimental and may change in
    a future version of babashka, depending on feedback from the
    community
  * Clojure 1.13 map destructuring with :keys! etc.

lang/babashka: New port: Fast native Clojure scripting runtime

Babashka is a native, fast-starting Clojure interpreter for scripting.
It uses GraalVM native-image to produce a self-contained binary that
starts instantly, making Clojure practical for shell scripting and
command-line tools.

This port installs a statically-linked Linux binary that runs via
FreeBSD's Linux binary compatibility layer (Linuxulator).
