Yeah, we know about this one. BBS changed it's file names. It is fixed in Master and we're hoping to get a real release out shortly (after running down a few more bugs). 1.3 was just fixing the completely broken nature of the Retriever due to a change to the way Github served files. Getting another release out is a top priority.

If you want to get up and running now you can checkout the current Master branch from GitHub and then run:
python setup.py install. Sorry for the continuing issues.

Better yet, if you can just replicate these two sets of changes (e861303 and 5d52cb2) in the bbs.py script in the Scripts folder you should be back in business.

Or, better yet, try it again now using the same .exe you've already downloaded. I can't test it myself because my Windows computer is... in detention, but thanks to Ben's ingenious design you should be ready to go.

This is, now, all working in Postgres on Linux. Let me know if everything is working on your end. Thanks again for all of the help reporting bugs!

It's downloading now! Thanks for getting on that so fast. We are presenting our database to the team in the AM.

Our pleasure. Good luck with the presentation tomorrow!
