The static libraries changes passed two weeks ago have now been officially written into the Guidelines[1]_. These changes are: 1) If the library you depend on only provides a static library, you can link to it without asking FESCo provided that your BuildRequires is for the -devel subpackage. BuildRequire'ing the -devel means the subpackage will link against the dynamic library when/if it becomes available. If you BuildRequire the -static version you still must make your request of FESCo. 2) You are now asked to add yourself to the initialcclist of any library that you are linking to statically (whether via BR: -static or one of the exceptions) so that you will be more aware of any security issues that arise in the library.
