The first addon packages are now available for Hex (version 1.0.1 or 1.0.2)! I have successfully created a FreeBSD port and a Hex package for the honeysnap project. You can find the files here (navi.eight7.org) until they are put into an official hex repository.

If you only want the port, download the honeysnap-1.0.6.11.tar.gz file (note that this file will require a full /usr/ports tree in order to build any dependencies, make sure you fetch the ports on a Hex install before trying to build from source). Untar the file (I usually put it in /usr/ports/security/honeysnap), enter the directory and issue the following command:

sudo make install

It should automatically build all the dependencies and install honeysnap for you.

If you want a faster way, download the honeysnap-1.0.6.11.tbz package and it’s dependency the py25-setuptools-0.6c7_1.tbz package into the same directory and issue the following:

sudo pkg_add -v ./honeysnap-1.0.6.11.tbz

The setuptools package will automatically be installed as a dependency.

After installation, you should be able to type “honeysnap” and get all the command-line options, happy honeysnap-ing!

As always, if you have any questions or problems, feel free to email me or leave a comment!

P.S. Forgot to mention, the package above will only work for Hex 1.0.*, however, the port (the honeysnap-1.0.6.11.tar.gz file) will work on both Hex 1.0.* and FreeBSD 6.* without a problem. Hopefully I’ll be submitting it to the FreeBSD team for review soon to have it included in the standard ports
