Anyone tried KDE 4.1 beta with Arch Linux?

I was just wondering if it's possible to try out KDE 4.1 Beta with Arch Linux x64? I can't seem to find any relevant info about it, but I would love to take it for a spin

. Anyone knows how to install it/where I can find it? Or has anyone tried it?

See this thread on the arch linux forums: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=49454

As much as i want to try it, I cant be bothered with the hassle

Its easier just to wait till 4.1 goes final in July which will replace 3.5 in the Arch repos.

It goes final in July already? If that's the case I might as well wait for it to hit the repos

Yup, http://techbase.kde.org/Schedules/KDE4/4.1_Release_Schedule

4.1 goes final on July 29th

After that i would guess 2ish weeks for testing etc before it replaces 3.5 in the official Arch repos.
