Default Maintaining an 8.1 box (presuming Pat will soon stop patching for 8.1)

As per subject line I have a remote slack web server still running 8.l.
I'm presuming that since 10 is out it will soon be dropped from the list
of versions for which Pat releases binary patches. (though i noticed it
got the recent PHP patch along with the newer versions).

Given that it's remote, what's my best strategy for keeping at least core
applications (apache php etc.) up to date? I tried googling for
"slackbuild" since I recall that it may be possible to download the
source and use Pat's slackbuild scripts on an old box to keep it up to
date. Didn't find anything exactly like my question. Am I on the right
track with that idea? Yes? No? Maybe so? Any help much appreciated.
