NOTE: The use of regular expressions (regexes) has changed in ZENworks 7.3 Linux Management.
ZENworks 7.3 Linux Management does not use wildcard character matching. In ZENworks Linux
Management 6.6.x, you can use a wildcard expression string instead of a regular expression string.
In ZENworks 7.3 Linux Management, you should use
bundles with the name starting with "patch-". ZENworks Linux Management supports all the Java
regular expressions. For more information on the Java regular expressions, see the
documentation
