Using the following files:
http://open-source-box.org/gcc/gcc-4.8.0/gcc-4.8.0.tar.bz2
http://open-source-box.org/gcc/gcc-4.8.0/gcc-4.8.0.tar.bz2.sig
http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gnu-keyring.gpg
the verification command and result are:
~/download/gcc/4.8 $ gpg --verify --keyring ./gnu-keyring.gpg
./gcc-4.8.0.tar.bz2.sig
gpg: Signature made Fri Mar 22 08:32:18 2013 CDT using DSA key ID C3C45C06
gpg: Good signature from "Jakub Jelinek <jakub@redhat.com>"
gpg: WARNING: This key is not certified with a trusted signature!
gpg: There is no indication that the signature belongs to the
owner.
Primary key fingerprint: 33C2 35A3 4C46 AA3F FB29 3709 A328 C3A2 C3C4 5C06
~/download/gcc/4.8 $
Should I be worried about the gpg: WARNING?
TIA.
