Ignore formula on brew upgrade

Question

I want to do a brew upgrade and tell homebrew do not upgrade the erlang formula since the latest one does not work on my system.

Is it possible

Answer 1

i had a similar 'problem'. i installed libfreenect (unstable) directly on my system. and now i dont want homebrew to upgrade it. i solved it by deleting following file:

/usr/local/Library/Formula/libfreenect.rb

analogous it would be /usr/local/Library/Formula/erlang.rb for you
