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:
Hierarchical Configuration is a Python library that is able to take a running configuration of a network device, compare it to its intended configuration, and build the remediation steps necessary bring a device into spec with its intended configuration. Hierarchical Configuration has been used extensively on: * Cisco IOS * Cisco IOSXR * Cisco NXOS * Arista EOS However, any NOS that utilizes a CLI syntax that is structured in a similar fashion to IOS should work mostly out of the box. NOS's that utilize a set based CLI syntax has been added as experimental functionality. OS's that utilize this syntax are: * Juniper JunOS * VyOS

net-mgmt/py-hier-config: New port

Hierarchical Configuration is a Python library that is able to take a
running configuration of a network device, compare it to its intended
configuration, and build the remediation steps necessary bring a device
into spec with its intended configuration.

Hierarchical Configuration has been used extensively on:

* Cisco IOS
* Cisco IOSXR
* Cisco NXOS
* Arista EOS

However, any NOS that utilizes a CLI syntax that is structured in a
similar fashion to IOS should work mostly out of the box.
