Well this change proposal is for Fedora Workstation specifically.
That's in the title. :) I would envision installing
eos-event-recorder-daemon via a Recommends: from the
gnome-control-center and gnome-initial-setup packages (and probably
also by adding it to the workstation-product comps group), so if you
don't have gnome-initial-setup or gnome-control-center installed, you
wouldn't get in on upgrade. I'm not sure whether I want to amend this
level of detail into the change proposal in case we might want to
change the specifics of how it gets installed, but that's just to give
you an idea of what I'm thinking currently. Certainly the metrics
components should not be installed for non-GNOME users as part of this
change proposal.
Is there going to be a recommended way to not accidentally install this
stuff? I'm guessing the least work (for Fedora) would be to black list the
key packages in the repo files. Making available a package that conflicts
with them could be done, but it could accidentally get removed during
and --allowerasing change. But this might be easier when doing installs.
