Description
Even with the last development snapshot from April the 12th I'm still receiving the message bellow and still unable to use Event views, is this normal?
This version is incompatible with the 6.2 version of Drupal core.
Thanks

Yes, event views hasn't been ported yet as there's no released version of views for D6 yet.
That being said I'd appreciate patches to help port event_views.

Feel free to grab this if you know views to some degree.
Views docs are at http://views.doc.logrus.com/
Merlin says:
There's a fair bit of doxygen available, and node.views.inc is extra commented to provide some examples of the basic data layout.

In another issue that asks about this, I've provided a first step in getting there, this at least lets it activate on the module page:
Change in event_views.info
dependencies = event views
to
dependencies[] = event
I'm in the process of building my first Drupal 6 site where I need Event+Views, so I'll be revisiting it at a later stage and if I can figure out more I'll provide a proper patch.

Looking forward to testing this :)

Actually – I wonder if you have any idea whether the ical download will be configurable through views in teh D6 version? I ask this because it's is my main reason for moving towards using Event and not CCK Calendar in Drupal 6 (CCK Calendar still doesn't handle ical downloads well). Yet what I want is to format a list of events to match an existing website style... which would work if the event information is exposed to views, including an ical feed. Did I mention I'm trying to do this in Drupal 6? This is the reason I'm posting here rather than starting a new issue... Please let me know if I should start a new one though...
Cheers!

I don't think this should be a separate module for d6, as Views 2 will conditionally include event.views.inc automatically.
I've started a patch for this at #293894: Event Views: Views 2 support
