Description FreeBSD-gnats-submit 2000-11-20 17:30:00 UTC

	sys/conf/newvers.sh uses the SNAPDATE variable to amend the
	RELEASE tag of a kernel. For custom kernels SNAPDATE could
	be used to add private tags (e.g. CTM delta number, or date)
	to the kernel tag. Unfortunately newvers.sh zeroes out
	SNAPDATE before applying it to RELEASE, rendering it useless.

Let our release engineer have a look at this. 
However, I belive one is supposed to set these 
variables in the script.

Your right, this is obsolete and was never officially used for 
anything anyway.  Removed.
