Ok, so i will close the other ivtv review - but there is still some problem with
this package, and actually i cannot approve it because:

NEED_WORK:
MUST - Need to remove The perl Requires.
MUST - In %prep Please uses sed instead as this will not work as perl have been
removed of the minimal BR. (the two firsts lines in %prep could be removed)
perl -pi -e's at CFLAGS = -D_GNU_SOURCE .*@CFLAGS = -D_GNU_SOURCE %{optflags}@'
utils/Makefile
 And I wonder if some
MUST - %build : add make -C utils %{?_smp_mflags}
MUST - Description need to be improved to state that this is not the driver
package but tools for the driver...

SHOULD - You may prevent timestamps changes while using install -pm instead of
mv -  (but this is highly recommended by the reviewer, as this will keep the
upstream date creation of files, instead of the build date in Fedora...)
SHOULD - add %doc README* COPYING ChangeLog need to be added (at least README is
useful to have info about kernel module info and how to build them...)
SHOULD - License is missing whereas the package bundle it... But the license
seems related to the kernel part (anyway it is the same, so i would say, pick it)
SHOULD - This question is mainly an upstream question : the package bundles
videodev2.h (which is the same as the one from /usr/include/linux/videodev2.h
and as such do not give expected problem). But, some files are referring from
the videodev2.h from the package whereas some others from kernel-headers...
Maybe upstream have to choose one method... This isn't a problem as files are
the same (but it may change...)

- One Hight Remark, i wonder why we should keep compatibility
