[Pkg-graphite-maint] Bug#770331: graphite-web: aliasByNode() gets upset by 'odd' characters in data paths

[Paul LeoNerd Evans]

Package: graphite-web
Version: 0.9.12+debian-6
Severity: normal

If I store my data in a path looking like:

   host:server.disk:sda.dir:w.sectors

then this confuses the aliasByNode() function. Asking it to set the
legend as node 0 produces simply "host", and nodes 1 onwards yield an
invalid graph entirely. It gets similarly upset if I use "=" to separate
these name=value pairs.

For now, I have reshaped my data into paths like

   by_host.server.by_disk.sda.by_dir.w.sectors

which now works as expected.

It seems only the aliasByNode() function itself that gets upset by this
though; other functionallity seems unaffected.
