I'm running FreeBSD 7.1-PRERELEASE and I want to keep track on when it's updated so that I can upgrade. I'm on the freebsd-announce list but I'm not sure if it's the right list to follow for this purpose.

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,


Also, RELENG_7 is a development branch: patches and updates are added to
it all the time without any special fanfare or announcements; although

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



        Cheers,

        Matthew

although there is not usually any great amount of traffic to do with the progress of new releases there. right now as we're in the middle of a release process, that's being controlled by the Release Engineering team and is limited to bug fixes 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 interested in. I believe there is an internal FreeBSD service somewhere which provides quite fine grained filtering, but it may only be available to people with @freebsd.org accounts. (I saw it mentioned on a mailing list many years ago but I've mostly forgotten what I knew about it.)
