have a look at gentoo. your machine will download source tarballs and
install them automatically. additionally it does the make install step
in a sandbox so that it knows what the package installed and can remove
it cleanly.
Its like installing from source but without the patching and stuff...
installing ardour is a matter of
sh# emerge ardour
this command will fetch current ardour-cvs and its dependencies and then
build....
look at www.gentoo.org...
