   Yes, this would be the proper way to proceed.

   The OP could use the rsync slackbuild from 15.0 to build the newer   
   rsync and package it up as a slackware package.  Then, should a   
   security patch be issued by Pat at some point in the future, all the OP   
   needs to do is download the newer release, and do 'upgradepkg'.
