            Bug ID: 255426
           Summary: Document why it is not possible to list packages on
                    the pkg mirror website
           Product: Documentation
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Keywords: needs-patch
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: Website
          Assignee: doc@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: 0mp@FreeBSD.org

In the past, we offered users a way to list and browse the packages availab=
le
on the pkg mirror, e.g., at
http://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:12:amd64/quarterly/All/.

Due to the cost of handling such requests, the site now returns 403 instead.

We should either present users with a static website explaining the change =
or
at least document what happened in, e.g., FAQ.
