+## Issues
+
+Check the following issue filters:
+
+* [Pending backports](https://dev.icinga.org/projects/i2/issues?query_id=41)
+* [Invalid target version](https://dev.icinga.org/projects/i2/issues?query_id=55)
+
+## Backport Commits
+
+ $ git checkout master
+ $ ./pick.py -V 2.4.9
+
+The script creates a new branch 'auto-merged-2.4.9' which is based on the
+current support branch. It then merges all commits from the 'master' branch which
+reference a ticket for the version that was specified.
+
+If there are any merge commits you will need to manually fix them and continue the
+rebase until no commits are left:
+
+ $ git rebase --continue
+
+After finishing the rebase the branch needs to be merged into the support branch:
+
+ $ git checkout support/2.4
+ $ git merge --ff-only auto-merged-2.4.9
+
