+Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Fix DVD building on ppc64
+
+ppc64 systems used to have arch == 'ppc', so pungi was only checking to
+see if arch == 'ppc'. Now that ppc64 is separate from ppc, we need to
+check if arch.startswith('ppc') instead.

+Subject: [PATCH 2/2] Use a predictable ISO Volume ID (#732298)
+
+Since the new lorax branch needs to know the iso Volume ID to be able to
+boot, we need to make sure we're using the same Volume ID that lorax
+sets up the bootloaders to expect.
