I'm getting warnings in rubygems. The warning is this:

rubygems/gem_openssl.rb:45: warning: possibly useless use of :: in void context

Here is the patch I used to fix, but maybe a different patch would be better:

diff --git a/lib/rubygems/gem_openssl.rb b/lib/rubygems/gem_openssl.rb
index ade9564..029094d 100644
--- a/lib/rubygems/gem_openssl.rb

+  _ = OpenSSL::Digest::SHA1

   Gem.ssl_available = true

   Maybe:

   Gem.ssl_available = !!OpenSSL::Digest::SHA1

   At the risk of being "too clever" (aka, dumb).
