I came across a subtle problem. Because the old miniportile is 
"ruby-mini-portile" and the new one is "ruby-mini-portile-2" but they 
share the same package name field, there doesn't seem to be any way to 
install the old miniportile from the command line:

$ ./pre-inst-env guix package -i ruby-mini-portile
The following package will be upgraded:
   ruby-mini-portile    0.6.2 → 2.0.0 
/gnu/store/0wlnhs4ymzj1mcm6wvc2y1ngvpj7wwls-ruby-mini-portile-2.0.0

I think maybe we should rename the old version to ruby-mini-portile-0, 
but keep the name of ruby-mini-portile-2. This would entail modifying 
the dependent packages but this is doable I would think.

WDYT?

Thanks,
