This part of your message will be kept in the commit log. So it
shouldn't be formulated this way. Just keep the subject "[PATCH] new
package: ngrep" and just be your Signed-off-by line below.

Each patch must start with a description of what it does, and a
Signed-off-by line.

Same here.

This must come from a very old version of Buildroot. Can you check the
current Buildroot documentation?

Please use '=' instead of ':='.

Not needed anymore, the 'install' target is always used.

Please remove this post install hook:
 1) it is no longer the right way of writing post install hooks
 2) stripping in each package is no longer needed, it is done globally
    by the Buildroot infrastructure
