gnus-group-make-nnir-group disappeared?

[T.V Raman]

Function gnus-group-make-nnir-group seems to have disappeared from the
latest sources @HEAD,  intentional?

Yes, this has been replaced by `gnus-group-make-search-group', though
there should be an obsolete alias added in there.

This is the commit that removed the function:
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs.git/commit/?id=ecfc13e41627511769e00a2d0a7568d5bdbe8a0d

I'm not familiar with the introduced change, but it seems the function
to use now should be gnus-group-make-search-group?

This API change is worth mentioning in NEWS, IMHO.

Thanks, please do add the obsolete alias so that code can continue to
work across emacs 28 and the presently released versions.

Sorry for the issues with this. It was a large change and I missed quite
a few things that need fixing. But Basil L. Contovounesios has
identified some more serious potential problems and I am trying to
decide if I should revert the whole thing.  If reverting seems
unnecessary I'll add the appropriate aliases.

BTW, in case you are fiddling with the current HEAD, the change should
be: 'gnus-group-make-nnir-group becomes
'gnus-group-read-ephemeral-search-group (still bound to "G G" in the
group buffer). The other new function mentioned by Eric,
'gnus-group-make-search-group, is for creating a permanent (rather than
ephemeral) group from a search.

Best,
Andy

Thanks -- reverting, working on a branch, then bringing it back in might
be worthwhile

I pushed the aliases in so it should be OK for you now.

Err, yeah. That's why its been developed on a  branch for two years :)
It was just my foolish attempt to merge without checking everything
twice.
