If it's not there, then whichever version you are looking for was not
buildable on the last package build.  oo.o is "fragile" in the sense
that it depends on many ports, the failure of any of which will
prevent it from building.  Recently that has been due to java
upheaval.  It looks like the current build may succeed, so check back
in a few days.

Naturally there is, viz LATEST_LINK.
