Thanks. Although Debian 8 is archived, it is still possible to install the apps manually - which does require access to the repository and distribution.

FWIW, it is possible (and would be nice) to adjust the apt sources to use the debian 8 archive. It would need to be untrusted though. Of course it would be ideal to see a 6.11.0 release that migrates to current debian.

  The Debian security repo already removed Jessie. There will be no more security update, which might render Readynas unsafe.
