typings.d.ts is not working as described in readme

I tried to add a global typings.d.ts exactly as described in readme but TypeScript compiler says Cannot find module 'typeless-package'.

Maybe the description is outdated?

Do I have to add it manually to tsconfig.json? If so i get the same error:

"typeRoots": [ "../node_modules/@types", "./typings.d.ts" ]

When I add typings.d.ts to the typeRoots config I get:

ERROR in E:/Dropbox/angular2-cli/src/typings.d.ts (14,2): Statements are not allowed in ambient contexts.

Oh, I found there is no need to add typings.d.ts to the typeRoots config — just write your declarations in typings.d.ts and it works.

declare var module: NodeModule;
declare var ymaps: ymaps;

interface NodeModule {
    id: string;
}

interface ymaps {
    geometry: any;
    shape: any;
    templateLayoutFactory: any;
    Balloon: any;
    Placemark: any;
}

Im not sure if module is up to date in typescript? Didnt it got replaced by namespace?

I tried:

export declare namespace TypelessPackage {
  export function test():boolean;
}

Then:

import {TypelessPackage} from "../../typings";
TypelessPackage.test();

But it says Module not found: Error: Can't resolve '../../typings' in '/<<path>>/src/app/shared'
