 0. (OPTIONAL) Manage package `syslog-ng`
 1. Manage `$base_dir/etc/syslog-ng/patterndb.d` recursively
 2. Manage the contents of the above directory using [existing](#defined-type-patterndbrawruleset) or [generated](#defined-type-patterndbsimpleruleset) patterndb *ruleset* files
-3. Merge the contents of the latter using `pdbtool` into a temporary file `${temp_dir}/syslog-ng/patterndb/${parser}.xml` where `$parser` is the name of the *patterndb* (you can have as many as you want, *e.g.* for *staged parsing*.
