Hi,
After we have paid for the subscription, how can we access the traditional invoice for passing to accounts?
We have received the email to say the payment has been taken, but need an invoice etc.
Thanks, Andy.

That email is your invoice! :D

I thought that might be the case ;) You know what accounting people are like haha
Has anyone else come across the error; svn: E120108: Error running context: The server unexpectedly closed the connection.
When trying to checkout with; svn co http://svn.observium.org/svn/observium/branches/stable observium
I’ve tried storing the password as encrypted and not encrypted (purging ~/.subversion between tries). And I’ve also tried setting store-plaintext-passwords to yes.
Running Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS
NB; I used a blank password when prompted for the ‘root’ password, and was then prompted for the username and pass (entering the user and pass shown in the web portal)
I’ve never come across this before with other installs of svn projects! – But that doesn’t mean I’m not being an idiot.. ;)
Cheers, Andy.

You mean they're good at inventing requirements and policies which aren't justified by legislative requirements?
The email you got has a link on it where you can re-generate the receipt with your company address on it, which usually shuts them up.
That error looks like an intervening firewall or transparent proxy breaking SVN.
It asked you for the root password because you ran svn without specifying a username whilst logged in as root. It assumed you wanted to connect with the username you were logged in as and asked for a password. I wonder how many people actually type in their real root password there and then send it to us. Perhaps I should amend the documentation to specify the username on the command line!

Haha and with a penchant for PDF’s ;)
Ahh, good shout.. I’ll add an exception to the web proxy for the domain Observium.org
Hahahaha! That’s a great point, I didn’t think of how many users must have sent the root password not realizing that.. Opps ☺
Yea adding --username to the docs might help. If you do, could you also mention for others that subversion might be broken by proxies with errors like svn: E175009: The XML response contains invalid XML svn: E130003: Malformed XML: not well-formed (invalid token) etc..
Cheers Adam. Andy.
