Greetings,
the package plotly-orca would enhance the package nanoplot,
currently being packaged by the Debian Med Team. For the moment
nanoplot is issuing several traces due to the unavailability of
this program, but this does not seem to impede the core
functionalities of data reporting, at least not on first sight.
There a stub of package that has been pulled on Salsa, to have a
look at how getting plotly-orca into the archive. This is
available under Debian Med Team repositories:
https://salsa.debian.org/med-team/plotly-orca/
It is worth noting though that this package would depend on
electron, which is still quite some work in progress for
inclusion into the archive. This RFP is to document this need
as well.
Kind Regads,
Étienne Mollier.
