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 at gmx.de> for noticing that builtin functionality.
