Well, in theory you could see it if the list has been configured to show all subscribers to anyone, but no-one sane configures mailman that way, given the potential for address harvesting by spammers.

'Which' Mailing List Command
There used to be a command to get a list of subscriptions from majordomo. What is the equivalent for mailman? I just got the help command for -questions. There doesn't seem to be a 'which' command.

Depends what you want. Everything that goes on RELENG_7 branch currently, is a
bug fix. Each bug fix, has the risk of introducing a regression bug.
If you want to part of the process that tests this PRERELEASE and report any
bugs, confirming bugfixes etc, then you should track RELENG_7. Best way to do
that is to csup your system in the daily periodic(7). Then you can see if any
fixes have been comitted, and rebuild your system.
If you simply want to know if your system still works, subscribe to announce
to know when to stop testing and to build the final release, and build
whenever you have time.
The script below my sig, adds csup to daily, when adding
daily_csup_enable="YES" to /etc/periodic.conf and putting the proper csup
file in the proper loc and/or setting the variables in /etc/periodic.conf.

I'm on the freebsd-announce list but I'm not sure if it's the right list to follow for this purpose. /Leslie 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 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 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.)

I don't there's much point just asking to "add support". It's a very nontrivial task requiring documentation from the vendor, hardware to test with, and dozens of hours of developer time.

Hi, I'd like to know which mailing list I should post a reqest for the SiS 650 motherboard chipset for 5.0. I thought they would have put this in as I noticed a coupld of people requesting support back in June of 2000, but as I read the hardware notes for 5.0-RC1 I see everything but the 650 Chipset. Where should I post this? Thanks! Paul Pathiakis To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
