'Ignore formula on brew upgrade
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 do do something like homebrew upgrade --skip erlang?
Solution 1:[1]
brew pin is the way to go. It will pin the formula to the current version
brew pin <formula>
brew unpin can be used to reset this
brew unpin <formula>
To view all pinned formulae
brew list --pinned
Note: brew upgrade will not upgrade pinned formulae.

You could upgrade erlang to the latest version but keep using the older working version with the brew commands versions and switch.
To list available versions use:
brew versions erlang
To switch between two installed versions (I'll presume you wanted erlang R14):
brew switch erlang R14B04

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
