CVS Gnus doesn't verify PGP-sign under 20.7 but does under 21.0.91

CVS Gnus doesn't verify PGP-sign under 20.7 but does under 21.0.91

[Charles Sebold]

I have noticed with a snapshot of Gnus from a couple of days ago that,
when reading Georg C. F. Greve's posts (for whom I have a public key),
they read just fine under 21.0.91, but they fail to verify under 20.7
with the following error:

[[PGP Signed Part:Failed]]

Mouse-2 on this button produces:

,----
| gpg: can't open `~/.gnupg/tmp/gnupg1616zFV'
| gpg: verify signatures failed: file open error
| 
| Command exit status: 2
`----

I have

(setq gpg-temp-directory "~/.gnupg/tmp")

in my .gnus, and that directory is chmod 700.  Besides, it works in
v21-pretest.

I tried mouse-2 on the button (that said OK rather than Failed) in 21.1,
and it responded with "No details" in the echo area.

Any idea if this is a problem with my setup?  toggle-debug-on-error
didn't give me anything to work with.  I'd be happy to run tests for
someone if they'd like.

I have this same problem, running the most current CVS versions of
gnus and XEmacs-21.2.

Do the following keystrokes create a temp file?

M-: (gpg-make-temp-file) RET

Of course, you have to load gpg.el first.

Symbol's value as variable is void: gpg-make-temp-file

Yes, I did ...

I've figured out the problem.  You should use 
    (setq gpg-temp-directory (expand-file-name "~/.gnupg/tmp"))

Or check out the latest version.

Works for me on Emacs 20.7 now (using last night's CVS snapshot).

Hi Charles,

I can agree, and Lars and all others contributing too. I use CVS Gnus
since pgnus 0.79 and only had two serious problems which i could track
down myself, one i could solve myself and the other i asked for help -
was fixed after a day. All other bugs are discovered and fixed before i
realize there are any bugs :-).

A very stable code in the CVS tree!

The honor belongs to Florian Weimer, who wrote gpg.el, and other
people.  I am glad my hacking works.  But please don't encourage me
before I get my PhD.

Have the semantics of 'make-temp-file' changed in the past?
'gpg-make-temp-file' is only a very thin wrapper around
'make-tempfile' if this function exists. (I'm not a Emacs 21
pretester, so I can't check.)
