openmpi should migrate with the next britney run. After that we can look into starting the transition to change mpi-defaults on 32 bit architctures. That is currently https://release.debian.org/transitions/html/mpi-defaults.html This will also require changes to hdf5. Have they been prepared somewhere? Cheers -- Sebastian Ramacher
