Needed for Ganglia 3.7.x
I may not personally have time to update ganglia-web and package the
three new JavaScript dependencies before stretch, if anybody else wants
to help with these packages it would be very welcome.
"Protovis composes custom views of data with simple marks such as bars
and dots. Unlike low-level graphics libraries that quickly become
tedious for visualization, Protovis defines marks through dynamic
properties that encode data, allowing inheritance, scales and layouts to
simplify construction. "
>From the upstream web site:
"Protovis is no longer under active development.
The final release of Protovis was v3.3.1 (4.7 MB). The Protovis team is
now developing a new visualization library, D3.js, with improved support
for animation and interaction. D3 builds on many of the concepts in
Protovis; for more details, please read the introduction and browse the
examples."
Is D3 a drop-in replacement for web applications that use protovis.js?
If so, no need to package protovis.js, as D3 is already available in Debian
