Now, if a package from GitHub has many dependencies, it results in a very long line after propagatedBuildInputs = builtins.attrValues. It's possible in nix to have each of these packages on a separate line, which significantly improves code readability.

For example,

    propagatedBuildInputs = builtins.attrValues {
    inherit (pkgs.rPackages)
      SummarizedExperiment
      SingleCellExperiment
      TreeSummarizedExperiment
      MultiAssayExperiment
      MASS
      ape
      decontam
      vegan
      BiocGenerics
      S4Vectors
      IRanges
      Biostrings
      DECIPHER
      BiocParallel
      DelayedArray
      DelayedMatrixStats
      scuttle
      scater
      DirichletMultinomial
      rlang
      dplyr
      tibble
      tidyr
      bluster
      MatrixGenerics;
    };

partially fixed, but buildInputs of github packages need the same treatment

I addressed this in #195 thanks for the input @artur-sannikov

ropensci / rix

Improve readability: Git package dependencies on separate lines #158
