http://mbostock.github.io/protovis/ License: BSD 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 https://packages.qa.debian.org/d/d3.html
