Patch for current master

Please provide libusbx-static (as we did with libusb1-static).

I think it doesn't hurt anybody and would be a great convenience for me :)

We actually removed libusb1-static from the libusb1 packages long before the move to libusbx, the reason it was removed is that no other packages were using it and in general we try to discourage people from using static libraries (in general it is forbidden to use them inside Fedora packages)

I'm sorry but that it would be of convenience to you is not a really compelling reason, as already said we discourage use of static libraries. Quoting the guidelines on this:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Packaging_Static_Libraries_2

"In general, packagers are strongly encouraged not to ship static libs unless a compelling reason exists. "

Regards,

Hans
