[Pkg-monitoring-maintainers] Bug#838697: ganglia-web/update to latest upstream release

[Daniel Pocock]

Package: ganglia-web
Version: 3.6.1-3
Severity: important
X-Debbugs-CC:
ganglia-developers at lists.sourceforge.net,debian-devel at lists.debian.org,pkg-javascript-devel at lists.alioth.debian.org

I've made this important because of the embedded JavaScript issues in
#693816[1] and #787599[2]

I may not personally have time to update ganglia-web and package the
three new JavaScript dependencies before Debian 9 (stretch) release
freeze[3] in January 2017, if anybody else wants to help with these
packages it would be very welcome.

This was also raised on the pkg-monitoring-maintainers list[4]

In 2015 I made a survey of the embedded JavaScript for 3.7.1 and had
some discussion with Vladimir Vuksan one of the leaders of upstream
Ganglia development.

A summary is below, most of the JavaScript is provided by existing
packages and we just need to test ganglia-web with the versions in Debian:

I'm creating RFP bugs for the missing packages, cubism, protovis and jstree
