[asterisk-users] Installation instructions for Opus are incorrect - maybe?

Before I got an log a ticket, can I just check I'm not doing anything wrong?

In 15.2, to install Opus:

1) run `make menuselect`
2) Highlight "Codec Translators" and press enter.
3) Scroll down to "codec_opus" in the section labeled "External"
4) Press enter to select the codec if it is not already selected.
... at this point, I see

  XXX codec_opus

and a message to download codec opus from Digium, using this link:

http://downloads.digium.com/pub/telephony/codec_opus/README
(note: same as http://downloads.digium.com/pub/telephony/codec_opus/asterisk-15.0/x86-64/
)

The link says:

 The preferred way of installing the Opus codec is to use menuselect in
  Asterisk to automatically download and install the codec. From the Asterisk
  top-level source directory, run

  1) run `make menuselect`
  2) Highlight "Codec Translators" and press enter.
  3) Scroll down to "codec_opus" in the section labeled "External"
  4) Press enter to select the codec if it is not already selected.

... well, you've guessed it, I'm in a loop now!

There's another way:

 " The alternative way to install codec_opus is to download a tarball
  directly from digium.com. Once the tarball is downloaded and untarred,
  perform the following steps:

  1) Copy the codec_opus.so file into the Asterisk module directory (by default,
     /usr/lib/asterisk/modules/).
  2) Copy the codec_opus_config-en_US.xml file into the Asterisk external
     documentation directory (by default,"

But there are two files:

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 354000 Dec 11 23:16 codec_opus.so*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 226576 Dec 11 23:16 format_ogg_opus.so*


Not saying this latter part is beyond my comprehension, just that
neither route matches the instructions :)

So... is it me being stupid, or should I log a ticket?
