I would also love to see this in the repos! But I guess we need to wait a bit more for that. At least, until KDE releases the first beta of Plasma 6 (note that there isn't an official schedule for Plasma 6 yet). Plasma 6 is quite broken (or at least when I tried some weeks ago), so probably packaging Plasma 6 as-is is not worth the extra effort. But maybe Antonio Rojas, who maintains the KDE packages, can correct me. And regarding when to expect the first beta, check this post [1] by Nate Graham to get some rough dates. > On the same topic, is the kde-unstable repo still an official repo?

Yes, it is still an official repo. It is normally empty, and it only gets packages whenever there is a beta of Plasma or KDE Gear. For example, I tested Plasma 5.27 Beta using the Arch repos some months ago. Cheers, Iyán [1]: https://pointieststick.com/2023/06/30/this-week-in-kde-plasma-6-development-continues/
