I suggest you start from the gnuplot srpm
# put package in ~/rpmbuild/SRPMS/foo.src.rpm
$ rpm -ihv foo.src.rpm
$ rpmbuild --nodeps -bp /where/the/spec/files/land/foo.spec
$[wherever SPECS]$ rpmbuild --nodeps -bp foo.spec
# and look for the patched source in ~/rpmbuild/BUILD/
Put your patch in SOURCES
Then add to the .spec file
Patch7: tabulate.patch
and
%patch7 -p1 -b .tabulate
and update the changelog
and build, preferably using mock. First the new srpm, then the rpm.
This was a tentative reply that got sent 'by accident.' Something like
it has worked for me (with other packages) in the past.
