Hello,

I am trying to patch gnuplot with
https://sourceforge.net/p/gnuplot/patches/694/

However, it fails for several reasons,
The first one is that the patch does not apply to last version
of tabulate.c (maybe to a previous one).
Then a fixed directly the tabulate.c file

How can generate the package directly from the SOURCES?
with rpmbuild
I try to modify the .spc file by removing the
#%patch0 -p1 -b .refto
#%patch1 -p1 -b .font
#%patch3 -p1 -b .plot-sigsegv
#%patch4 -p1 -b .isinglethread
#%patch5 -p1 -b .checkint
#%patch6 -p1 -b .tabulate   # This fails

But it does not work.
because I guess that it does not compile my new sources but the old ones.

Actually, %patch6 -p1 -b .tabulate
would fails
patch -p0 gnuplot-5.0.6a-tabulate.patch (manually)
would be OK, but it fails from the .spec file

Thank for your help.

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.
