I'm wondering if there's any means to prevent Homebrew from upgrading a particular package ? Yesterday I went for a brew upgrade which updated the lua package from 5.1 to 5.2. It broke one of the projects I'm working on those days so I had to downgrade the lua package today when I noticed it.
I'd like this not to happen again, and I guess Homebrew must provide this kind of feature, but I didn't find anything about it in the documentation. Do you have any clue ?

another possible solution is to send Ctrl-C to the shell while HomeBrew running brew update --auto-update . This will interrupt the updating process.
Today by default, everytime you install a new package, brew will go ahead and automatically update all of my system packages to their latest versions.
brew update and upgradebrew update updates the above downloaded git repository with the latest code from GitHub. brew upgrade updates the actual packages to match the versions in the updated local git repository.
brew pin someformula.
There is also a lua51 formula now.
