Reconsider "Support stack traces with correct line numbers even without embedding sources"

See https://github.com/vercel/pkg/discussions/1682. Optionally, of course.

This would require a duplicated patch for all nodejs patches so, one with line numvers support and one without.... or just add the line numbers patch and apply that only when nodejs is built from source... This requires adding a new option to pkg that is then propagated to pkg fetch and will eventually do the double patch of the nodejs version. This also requires all this patches to be someway maintained as long as the main patches change and I find this very difficult to happen... we struggle to keep the main patches maintained

Best to stay with one patch for each version and add an option. Like the existing sourceless option they already add. This project could definitely use some scripts to help maintaining the patches so it isn't such a manual and laborous process.

There is no way to create such scripts

Not to fully automate the entire thing, as it obviously requires manual intervention. But to streamline it a bit. e.g.

1. Download the relevant node.js version, extract it twice to two directories, and patch one of them.
2. A second script to generate the patch from this two directories.

Just to make it slightly less of a manual process.
