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?
  
  See https://github.com/nix-community/kde2nix/tree/1790306f2115ae9e396cf926d72f5e060d1d918e
  
  Thanks
