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.

security/openvas: fix build on armv7 (again)

Some more printf type errors.  These are really not important,
-Werror should be dropped as per policy so I don't have to revisit
this port yet again.
