How to setup trust?

[Daniel Cerqueira]

Hi.

Firstly, I am not subscribe to this list.  Please, do reply my address
in the "To:", and the gnupg-users at gnupg.org in the "Cc:" field.  Thanks!

Second, I am trying to use the trust feature of GnuPG.  My GnuPG uses
the trust model "pgp".

Now, if I do `gpg -k "<wk at gnupg.org>"` it shows this:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
pub   ed25519/0x63113AE866587D0A 2018-09-28 [SC] [expires: 2027-01-31]
      Key fingerprint = AEA8 4EDC F01A D86C 4701  C85C 6311 3AE8 6658 7D0A
uid                   [ unknown] wk at gnupg.org
uid                   [ unknown] werner at eifzilla.de
uid                   [ unknown] wk at g10code.com
uid                   [ unknown] werner.koch at gnupg.com
sub   ed25519/0x19CC1C9E085B107A 2020-08-04 [S]
      Key fingerprint = 8777 461F 2A07 4EBC 480D  3594 19CC 1C9E 085B 107A
sub   brainpoolP384r1/0x2B999FA9CE046B1B 2021-06-28 [E] [expires: 2027-01-10]
      Key fingerprint = A1DB 793D C236 63E7 F914  75D8 2B99 9FA9 CE04 6B1B
sub   ky768_bp256/0x5CF9E3DE6BC9DA95 2025-02-06 [E]
      Key fingerprint = 5CF9E 3DE6B C9DA9 57ED2 4B39E C2D29 580F7 0B3F8 AF14B 8D7BE
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

The "[ unknown]" is what shows the trust?  Or it shows something else
(like PGP's concept of validity)?


Third, how can I make this 0x63113AE866587D0A key, to be marginally
trusted?

I have tried making a local signature with cert-level of 1 and also have
edited this key's `trust` to be "marginal", then "save".  Afterwards, I
did an `gpg --update-trustdb`, and still I get the output above :-( .


I am not understanding how the GnuPG's trust feature works.  I want to
learn.


Cheers for Freedom :-) ,
