    Description

      CVMFS determines the Mac OS client version, by examining /System/Library/CoreServices/SystemVersion.plist.

      ```
      inline void platform_get_os_version(int32_t *major,
      int32_t *minor,
      int32_t *patch) {
      const std::string plist = "/System/Library/CoreServices/SystemVersion.plist";
      const std::string plist_key = "ProductVersion";

      ...
      const int matches = sscanf(version.c_str(), "%u.%u.%u", major, minor, patch);
      assert(matches == 3 && "failed to read OS X version string");
      }
      ```

      This is a hack, as major OS X releases consist of only a major/minor release, not a patch level.

      ```
      <key>ProductVersion</key>
      <string>10.12</string>
      ```

      I'd highly appreciate if you could relax the requirement, to accept two dots only, and prepare a hot fix release.
