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.

gecko: declare NOT_FOR_ARCHS=i386

The building and linking of the rust parts on x86 needs a larger
address space than a 32bit platform can provide (at most 4GB).
The gecko ports have been failing for quite a while on the official
builders with an "rustc-LLVM ERROR: out of memory" message, e.g.
https://pkg-status.freebsd.org/beefy18/data/144i386-default/6f1fe399c86f/logs/thunderbird-153.0.2.log

We can as well stop trying to save the CPU cycles leading up to
this error.
