Hi,

Ah well, not exactly with this function, you’re right, but I think you
can do something like:

  (define-public open-adventure-1.8
    (package
      (inherit open-adventure)
      (version "1.8")
      (properties `((superseded . ,open-adventure)))))

That way “guix install open-adventure <at> 1.8” will emit a deprecation
warning and install the other one.

HTH!

Ludo’.
