Installing the d3.tsd.ts typings fails with zero results

[thinkh]

Running ./manage.sh resolve_dev (re-)installs the typings of all plugins.

Since a couple of days we get this output:

[thinkh]

After tracking this issue down I discovered that tsd install d3 --commit 1e6796 cannot be found, because tsd query d3 --history reads only the most recent commits (basically the first page). As consequence the commit 1e6796 cannot be queried anymore.

There are the following options to solve this problem:

1. Change the tsd source code to query longer history --> does not work since tsd is deprecated
2. Clone the commit 1e6796 into separate repository and use it here
3. Fix ts compile errors in Caleydo code to support the most recent version of the d3.tsd.ts

[thinkh]

To get the most recent update run the following commands:

1. ./manage.sh pull to update repos
2. ./manage.sh resolve to download the newest typings
3. ./manage.sh server to compile and run Caleydo
