(This is a re-post from October 6, 2020 since the original did not make it into the archive.) The pipes-text [1] package on Hackage hasn't been updated in about 4 years and doesn't currently build due to outdated `build-depends'. Patches have been supplied to the GitHub [2] repository but none have been merged. The last commit was on Dec 2, 2016. I have attempted to reach out to the author (Michael Thompson) to offer assistance and have not received any response. As per the instructions on the Haskell Wiki, I'm posting this message to signal my intent to take over the pipes-text package as a maintainer. I have a working fork here [3]. Michael, if you prefer to keep the package under your control I'm more than happy to help you manage the GitHub project and get some patches merged. Otherwise I'll reach out to the Hackage administrators after a reasonable amount of time has passed.
