it appears it's only possible to pull the opening text of an issue, no further updates

[nicferrier]

This code:

(let ((ghcon (gh-issues-api "api")))
    (with-current-buffer (get-buffer-create "*marmalade-issues*")
      (erase-buffer)
      (--map
       (insert
        (format
         "#%s %s -- %s\n%s\n\n"
         (oref it number)
         (oref it created_at)
         (fill-string (oref it title))
         (fill-string (replace-regexp-in-string "\r" "\n" (oref it body)))))
       (oref
        (gh-issues-issue-list ghcon "nicferrier" "elmarmalade")
        data))
      (pop-to-buffer (current-buffer))))

Produces this currently:

#50 2014-10-24T09:41:37Z -- Issues with using marmalade
Hello, I am interested in getting some packages from marmalade for
emacs, but i can't seem to get it to work, whenever I try to access
the "http://marmalade-repo.org/packages/" URL I get "error in process
filter: could not create connection to marmalade-repo.org:433". Do i
need an account or something? Please help.

#47 2014-10-24T07:32:11Z -- eshell-manual is uninstallable
From marmalade#78

Seems to be related to version number?

#43 2014-10-18T12:47:25Z -- marmalade and discovery
Found this via #emacs

#30 2014-07-25T12:42:55Z -- Where's the searchbox?
I like the site redesign, but how do I search for packages now?

But I'd like to pull the updates too.

so there seems to be some code for that in gh-pull-comments.el and gh-issues.comments.el

I've not been paying a lot of attention to those, and there seems to be a rather wide duplication of logic in there (especially considering that pull requests are really just another kind of issues, from a backend perspective). I might try to consolidate all this under proper "comments" objects, but in the meantime it might give you what you want
