Renato, I doubt that there is any use for the ContainerInfo support on FreeBSD. Simply add "--enable-containerinfo=no" to the ./configure options to simplify the build. There is Salt support for FreeBSD, but we will need to verify the Salt Minion setup if you choose to enable for FreeBSD.
Awesome! I'm going to work on it this week

Salt option is only available for Linux according to configure script so I left it alone and did a regular upgrade
