New MacPorts ports database site

[Dmitri Zaitsev]

I find the list of hundreds qt53-* with (nearly) identical description
overwhelming and the grouping doesn't seem to work for them either.

The breadcrumb numbers at the top give me no clue where to click next to
skip that long list and 83 pages to click through feels quite frustrating
:)

I generally prefer infinite scrolls, where I can quickly scroll all the way
down and then locate the keywords by search. There had been few ux designer
blogs in the past in support of paginations, whose arguments I never
understood, but they seem to be largely gone by now.

Also there is something wrong with sorting order.

Cheers,
Dmitri.
