I use this .".netrc" (see man ftp) file to retrieve a listing of
snapshot packages

-----------------------
machine ftp.stacken.kth.se login anonymous password [EMAIL PROTECTED]

macdef init
prompt off
epsv4 off
preserve on
get /pub/OpenBSD/snapshots/i386/MD5 MD5-stacken
ls /pub/OpenBSD/snapshots/i386/ "| cut -b30- >latest-stacken"
ls /pub/OpenBSD/snapshots/packages/i386/ "| cut -b30- >latest-pkg-stacken"
quit

----------------------------------------
The file latest-pkg-stacken is then easy to search
