This is just a remnant from when you installed Gentoo. You can delete |

that file. Portage is already using uncompressed files under |

/usr/portage - that tarball is just a "starter" tarball that portage |
| 8 |
bootstraps itself with during the initial Gentoo installation. |

I've never seen a metadata tarball. metadata.xml is something portage |
| 15 |
keeps uncompressed in /usr/portage for every package. |
