Error when attempting to create certify key

[PavlovicAndrej]

Hey, I noticed that using mktemp -d -t gnupg-$(date +%Y-%m-%d)-XXXXXXXXXX on macOS can create long socket paths, causing gpg-agent errors.

Generate the Certify key:

echo "$CERTIFY_PASS" | gpg --batch --passphrase-fd 0 \
    --quick-generate-key "$IDENTITY" "$KEY_TYPE" cert never

This crashed my gpg-agent. I tried to run daemon manually:

$ gpg-agent --daemon
gpg-agent[18057]: socket name '/var/folders/wm/5cgv84qj2qx_prnfw3h12prh0000gn/T/gnupg-2025-02-03-XXXXXXXXXX.gEpsSuD8aY/S.gpg-agent.extra' is too long

I managed to fix that by recreating temporary directory like:

mktemp -d -t gpg-temp

Which lowered char count from 105 to 68.

Interesting find. Does anyone know the maximum character limit? We can probably simplify the temp dir name regardless.
