its unlikely. my reasons for stopping were described on both the
Csound and Quasimodo development mailing lists. anyone else is free to
take the source and keep it alive if they feel it to be a sensible
path to follow.
If so,

the Ardour README file makes it as clear as i possibly can that you
CANNOT use anything except CVS as a source of source code, so to speak.
you cannot use the libs on ftp.quasimodo.org. i cannot believe that
they even allow ardour to compile. if there are libs there, i must
make a point to remove them. any versions available from there are
completely and utterly out of date. my mistake, if they exist, which
it sounds as if they do.
you *must* obtain all source for ardour from CVS. until the code
reaches a suitable level of stability (i.e. no sweeping redesigns of
major subsystems every couple of days), that will be the only way to
get the source. it is not worth my time building and uploading
tarballs in addition to doing CVS commits when the code is changing as
fast as it these days. i don't want to have to read bug reports from
code that's already 2 days out of date - there are not that many bugs
that survive that long (though believe me, there have been enough that
have!).

i am asking sourceforge to move the libs over from
quasimodo.sourceforge.net to ardour.sourceforge.net. it has not
happened yet. when it does, it will make life much easier for
everyone, including me. for now, you need to follow the instructions
in the Ardour README file. the entire build system recently underwent
a dramatic change so that its now more or less possible to do:
sh autogen.sh
./configure
make
make install
how much more or less depends on the overall breakage level of the
rest of your system. most Redhat 7.X systems tend to have problems
because of their use of a non-standard C++ compiler (libraries
compiled with different C++ compilers are not guaranteed to be
compatible, and in some cases are guaranteed *not* to be).
