Jenkins build / yarn fails with

node_modules/rxjs/internal/types.d.ts(81,44): error TS1005: ';' expected. node_modules/rxjs/internal/types.d.ts(81,74): error TS1005: ';' expected. node_modules/rxjs/internal/types.d.ts(81,77): error TS1109: Expression expected. 

there is already a fix available
see ReactiveX/rxjs#4512

The fix is a package.json change to typescript 2.8

There is not much we can do about this, since the quickstarter for Angular creates the content of a new repository by running ng new. This will also create a package.json file with the problematic version of typescript. As possible solution I would recommend an update of the Angular version on the quickstarter.
Possible workarounds for now:

• update typescript manually to version 2.8
• run ng update

Sed replace - done ;-)

fixed in master and 1.0.x

Oh, actually there is no typescript version 2.8.0 :-( Why? Anyways.
I reopen the ticket and will change to 2.8.1, which indeed is existing.

updated to 2.8.1 on master and 1.0.x
