Homebrew – Ignore BREW Upgrade Formula

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

Is it possible to do something like homebrew upgrade – skip erlang?

I finally found an answer: Since submission 85eb73ce has a pin subcommand available. Therefore, ignoring the formula for upgrading Brew is like pinning it through brew pin. To unpin, just call brew unpin. It’s worth noting that brew upgrade will still update the formula, regardless of whether it is pinned or not.
