Yes, This is exactly what I need. I knew about ###.source file but wasn't
aware that they could do this. Is this a documentation bug?

10-hwdetect.source has the following header in my config space
================================
#! /bin/bash

# NOTE: Files named *.source will be evaluated, but their output ignored.
Instead
# the contents of $newclasses will be added to the list of defined classes.
================================

Maybe newer releases state something else by now. This file is from a
rather old configspace example.


contents of /srv/fai/config/class/01-init.source
---
#!/bin/bash

TESTVAR="foobar"
export TESTVAR
---

contents of /srv/fai/config/class/71-test
---
#! /bin/bash

echo "TESTVAR is set to: $TESTVAR"
