Patch adds a setting to browscap to allow user to determine how often browscap should check garykeith.com for new data. User can set the interval to any number of days, 7 days is still the default. Setting the number of days to 0 turns off updating.

Can you explain the motivation for this? It feels like useless UI cruft to me, but I've just started using the module.

It's a little crufty, I'll admit. My main motivation with the patch was to add the ability to turn off auto-updating. This is useful for situations where a server cannot "phone out" and for users who would like more direct control and would prefer to update the browscap file manually. I decided to make the patch able to set the update interval just in case someone still wanted auto-update but didn't want to "phone out" so often.

I wanted to test this and had to re-roll it. I also tweaked the spacing on the multiplication. It seems good to me - can you confirm that it still works for you? If so then we could commit it.

Sorry for the delay, the patch looks good, works in version 1.1

It would be nice to have this in the official and dev builds.

@klonos - rather than stating a preference, it would be useful if you could review the patch.

Moving to 7.x and backporting.

The attached patch adds a configurable update interval as in #4 but includes a small number of improvements including improved spelling, more specific error messages and bring back the return of system_settings_form.
