Cocot stands for "COde COnverter on Tty".

program that may not support tty charset encoding. For example,
running non-UTF-8 editor on UTF-8 terminal.

How is it better than luit (from x11-utils)?

Hi,

This is an automatic email to change the status of cocot back from ITP
(Intent to Package) to RFP (Request for Package), because this bug hasn't seen
any activity during the last 12 months.

If you are still interested in adopting cocot, please send a mail to
<control@bugs.debian.org> with:

 owner 638838 !
 thanks

However, it is not recommended to keep ITP for a long time without acting on
the package, as it might cause other prospective maintainers to refrain from
packaging that software. It is also a good idea to document your progress on
this ITP from time to time, by mailing <638838@bugs.debian.org>.

Thank you for your interest in Debian,

Hi,

A long time ago, you expressed interest in packaging cocot. Unfortunately,
it seems that it did not happen. In Debian, we try not to keep ITP bugs open
for a too long time, as it might cause other prospective maintainers to
refrain from packaging the software.

This is an automatic email to change the status of cocot from ITP
(Intent to Package) to RFP (Request for Package), because this bug hasn't seen
any activity during the last 12 months.

If you are still interested in packaging cocot, please send a mail to
<control@bugs.debian.org> with:

 thanks

It is also a good idea to document your progress on this ITP from time to
time, by mailing <638838@bugs.debian.org>.  If you need guidance on how to
package this software, please reply to this email, and/or contact the
debian-mentors@lists.debian.org mailing list.

Thank you for your interest in Debian,

Upstream abandoned this project long time ago.
Nobody showed any interest in this software (probably the Website is a bit
difficult to read for non native speakers) so I am closing this RFP.
