updated this morning to piwik 2.0b5

last update date is still the same 10.10.2013

=> the update was also not perfomed simply within the wrong period (e.g. every month, instead of the selected "every week")
=> the update process still seem not to work in general

In 250a832: Fixes #4263, make sure GeoIPAutoUpdater forces new scheduled time of update task to be persisted when update period is set.

now piwik 2.0 RC2 is installed - no update yet. Last one was 10/10/2013
Updated to nearly every new beta in the meantime...
Please see attachment.

maybe a button "update now" + good error messages would be helpful to find the problem...

[diosmosis]

Changing the period doesn't immediately start the update. Did you change from monthly to weekly? In that case the next update should be this week (on the 20th based on the last time it was run). Otherwise it will be next month.

Admittedly, this isn't the best solution. Having an 'update now' link would be good, but due to the way MaxMind hosts their databases, it's not easy to do this through the browser.

In the meantime, I think rescheduling to the next cron run (if the database is out of date) and having a message that displays the next scheduled run time would be a good idea.

changed in both directions several times during the last month piwik/betas..

Shouldn't it update /respect the periods even without any changes??

yes your idea to show the next scheduled update date is great!
=> new Ticket?
and the "update now button" another one for a future milestone?

updated to piwik 2.02 => still no update.
Last update was still 10-10-2013
