It's also necessary to
#define FORCE_UPDATE 1
But keep in mind that the interval is accounted for only during process'
stay in memory. It doesn't work like "anacron" and the like. I'd like to
send a maintainer update with an interval of just a few days.
In short,
-#define FORCE_UPDATE 0
+#define FORCE_UPDATE 1
-#define FORCE_INTERVAL (1440 * 30) // 30 days in minutes
+#define FORCE_INTERVAL (1440 * 7) // 7 days in minutes
Kudos to olli hauer <ohauer@gmx.de> for noticing that builtin functionality.
