Created attachment 661693 [details] 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 :)

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.
