How to get KDE Plasma 6?

Hey guys, I'm pretty new to Nix and NixOS and one of the reasons I installed it is because I know there's some way to install the KDE 6 Beta before the official stable release. I wanted to use the kde2nix overlay, but appearantely KDE 6 has been merged into the official nixpkgs repository. How do I switch from Plasma 5 to 6? I'm already on the unstable channel if that matters.

Thanks in advance.

İt is not merged yet. There is a pr but it isnt merged currently. You can use kde2nix in the meanwhile

But kde2nix is archived on GitHub? And it doesn't have any instructions in the README, it just says "Merging into Nixpkgs: NixOS/nixpkgs#286522". How do I actually use it, what do I have to put in my configuration.nix file?
