+# Ada4Hurd
+
+## Introduction
+
+Ada4Hurd provides tools and examples to ease Ada development in Hurd. It is at an early stage.
+
+### ada2def
+
+  * It is based on the [ASIS](http://libre.adacore.com/tools/gnat-gpl-edition/) standard
+  * It analyse an Ada specification and generates some .defs file
+
+### def2ada
+
+  * Using [opentoken](http://stephe-leake.org/ada/opentoken.html) it analyse a .defs file
+    * it can generate server skeleton
+    * it can generate a client library for easy connection to the server
+
+### xmladafs
+
+  * Mainly a translation of xmlfs in Ada
+    * write capabilities development is undergoing
+    * use [xmlada](http://libre.adacore.com/tools/xmlada/)
+
+### hello
+
+  * Hello World example translated in Ada
+
+### netfs_base
+
+  * Mainly a dummy translator to understand netfs mechanisms
+  * [[Some results of netfs experimentation|documentation/netfs_ada_results]]
+
+## Where to find the code
+
+  * Ada4Hurd is a [sourceforge](https://sourceforge.net/projects/ada4hurd/) based project
+  * Mercurial is used as DVCS
+
+    $ hg clone http://hg.code.sf.net/p/ada4hurd/code ada4hurd-code
+
+## Build the code
+
+  * Install the build dependencies as root
+
+    $ apt-get install gnat libopentoken4-dev libxmlada5-dev libasis2014-dev
+
+  * Build
+
+    $ cd ada4hurd-code
+    $ make
+
+  * Play with xmladafs
+
+    $ make trans_on

+# Netfs Ada experimentations
+
+## Rev 05c2ac288ad2
+
+  * Nothing is implemented in the Netfs\_Implementation package
+  * node is the translator inode in directory .
+
+### ls -la .
+
+  * Leads to a call of Validate\_Stat : line 115 of Netfs\_Implementation package
+  * Returns an error :
+    * bash: cd: node: Not a directory
+
+### ls -la node
+
+  * Returns an error :
+    * ls: cannot access node: Not a directory
+  * Leads also to a call of Validate\_Stat : line 115 of Netfs\_Implementation package
+
+### cd node
+
+  * Returns an error :
+    * bash: cd: node: Not a directory
+  * Validate\_Stat get called three times
+
+## Rev 6052185bf877
+
+  * Only a very simple Validate\_State is implemented
+
+### ls -la .
+
+  * Leads to a call of Validate\_Stat : line 120 of Netfs\_Implementation package then a call to Check\_Open\_Permissions : line 13
+  * Returns this error :
+    * "ls: cannot access node: Not a directory"
+
+### ls -la node
+
+  * Returns an error :
+    * ls: cannot access node: Not a directory
+  * Leads to a call of Validate\_Stat : line 120 of Netfs\_Implementation package then a call to Check\_Open\_Permissions : line 13
+
+### cd node
+
+  * Returns an error :
+    * bash: cd: node: Not a directory
+  * Validate\_Stat then Check\_Open\_Permissions sequence is called three times
+
+## Rev dd3e6b7ea5c7
+
+  * Check\_Open\_Permissions implemented
+
+### ls -la .
+  * No more error : node is displayed as a directory
+  * Sequence call : validate\_state / check\_open\_permissions / validate\_state
+
+### ls -la node
+
+  * Returns an error :
+    * ls: reading directory node: Operation not supported
+  * call sequence :
+    * validate\_state
