At the moment there hasn't been a RELENG_7_1 tag laid down, so anything
labelled 7.1 is from the RELENG_7 branch.  Technically both of RELENG_7
and any RELENG_7_x are covered by the freebsd-stable@ mailing list,
although there is not usually any great amount of traffic to do with the =

progress of new releases there.

Also, RELENG_7 is a development branch: patches and updates are added to
it all the time without any special fanfare or announcements; although
right now as we're in the middle of a release process, that's being=20
controlled by the Release Engineering team and is limited to bug fixes
and release preparations.

If you really want to track all the activity on RELENG_7 then you can
join one of the lists that distributes CVS e-mails. This is the most
appropriate one for your purposes:

http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/cvs-src

Even so, that contains all the messages about all the commits to all the =

branches of the src collection, not just to RELENG_7.  You'll need to
filter it pretty  stringently to pull out just the stuff you're intereste=
d=20
in.  I believe there is an internal FreeBSD service somewhere which provi=
des=20
quite fine grained filtering, but it may only be available to people with=
=20
@freebsd.org accounts.  (I saw it mentioned on a mailing list many years =
ago=20
but I've mostly forgotten what I knew about it.)

	Cheers,

	Matthew
