Hi Rene,

I have moved to 10.2 last week. It is not quite straight forward to 
switch with all Fink (Linux) packages, because you need to recompile 
everything. Therefore,
I would go for option C if it is not a too big hassle to support both 
macosx versions. Otherwise I would opt for A and provide a FAQ how the 
users with 10.1 shall proceed to get it running. (As I got from the 
emails, the changes are not too difficult).

Thanks a lot for the Mac OS X support of ROOT.

Cheers,
		Remi
