The packages built against libusb-1.0 are available at 
https://wolfy.fedorapeople.org/nut-2.7.5-0.nut_fightwarn_libusbx/

For now I've left in place ( at https://wolfy.fedorapeople.org/nut ) the 
old versions of nut I built 4-5 years ago but, if memory serves, those 
were built for EL6 which has an year since it is no longer supported. 
Therefore I recommend against using them and I will probably remove them 
after New Year's day.
