You should start with packaging/rhel/6/libreswan.spec

It should do everything for you already? Or tell you what you need to
install.

Which patches?

If you want to package from git instead of from a full release tar ball,
you need to do this:

git tag v3.1_tjyang
make release

That will give you a tar ball where the proper version (not
IPSECBASEVERSION) is present. That file you can use on centos:

cp libreswan-3.1_tjyang.tar.gz ~/rpmbuild/SOURCES/
tar zxf libreswan-3.1_tjyang.tar.gz
rpmbuild -ba libreswan-3.1_tjyang/packaging/rhel/6/libreswan.spec
