Description:
libde265 is an open source implementation of the H.265 video codec.
It is written from scratch for simplicity and efficiency. Its simple
API makes it easy to integrate it into other software.

Koji build looks good:

Hi Joachim.

1) Using these tools to build 'configure' scripts and 'Makefiles' is inadvisable. This software already has own scripts, if they are built by too old tools, please, 

  1- point out this to the upstream

 or 

  2- perform 'autogen.sh' outside RPM packaging then apply a patch to update the  configure scripts and Makefile.ins


2) If you don't want to build 'dec265 decoder program' and 'sherlock265 visual inspection program', you can use --disable-dec265  --disable-sherlock265 options; better if you add --disable-silent-rules option, too.

Then, probably, you don't need anymore of the lines 
rm -f %{buildroot}%{_bindir}/dec265
rm -f %{buildroot}%{_bindir}/sherlock265

3) %clean section and '%defattr(-,root,root,-)' are useless.
   Unless this software will be packaged for systems < EPEL6

4) Requires: %{name} = %{version}-%{release} 
   must be arched
   Requires: %{name}%{?_isa} = %{version}-%{release}

This one isn't going to get into Fedora, HEVC implementations (of which h265 is one) have exactly the same legal problems as previous codecs backed by the MPEG consortium.
