Description drago01 2014-02-18 19:21:00 UTC 
Those patches add a gsettings key to disable the version check when installing
extensions. It can be used to force extension to get loaded despite not claiming
to support the running shell version.

The first patch adds the shell side support and the key.
The second (untested!) one exposes it through the browser plugin.

extensionSystem: Add a gsettings key to disable version validation

Add a key 'disable-extension-version-validation' key that disables
the validation of extension's claimed to be supported shell version
with the shell version and just load all extensions unconditionally.

Expose the version validation boolean through the public JS
