Langpack built from source doesn't include untranslated entities

[Trung Ngo]

Hi all,

@arky

I'm trying to resume the Aurora translation effort. As part of it, I'm
looking into building langpack from source to test my translation.

I'm using this guide:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Localization/Quick_start_guide/QA_phase

Instead of http://hg.mozilla.org/l10n-central/vi, I used the Vietnamese
files from here since they are more recent:
http://hg.mozilla.org/releases/l10n/mozilla-aurora/vi/

The problem is that the resulting xpi file doesn't work. I successfully
loaded it into Aurora but after restarting, it shows an error dialog,
saying some XML entities are undefined.

On the other hand, the official xpi does work:
https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-mozilla-aurora-l10n/win32/xpi/firefox-39.0a2.vi.langpack.xpi

I diff-ed my xpi and this xpi and it shows that a lot of untranslated
entities were missing completely in my xpi, like this:

--- my/browser/chrome/vi/locale/browser/aboutAccounts.dtd 2015-05-02
23:26:12.000000000 +0700
+++ theirs/browser/chrome/vi/locale/browser/aboutAccounts.dtd 2015-05-02
18:43:35.000000000 +0700
@@ -7,3 +7,8 @@


<!ENTITY aboutAccountsConfig.manage.label "Quản lý">
+
+
+<!ENTITY aboutAccountsConfig.description "Sign in to sync your tabs,
bookmarks, passwords & more.">
+<!ENTITY aboutAccountsConfig.startButton.label "Get started">
+<!ENTITY aboutAccountsConfig.useOldSync.label "Using an older version of
Sync?">

I followed the instruction very closely (make merge-vi then make
langpack-vi). Any idea what went wrong?
