Pacdiff hook

Hi all.
How would I go about invoking the hook but replacing the EXEC line with DIFFPROG=nano pacdiff ?

For quick ref the wiki instructs the following:
[Trigger]
Operation = Install
Operation = Upgrade
Operation = Remove
Type = Package
Target = *

[Action]
Description = Runs pacdiff utility
When = PostTransaction
Exec = /usr/bin/pacdiff

Thanks in advance.

Re: Pacdiff hook

Try:

Exec = /usr/bin/env DIFFPROG=nano pacdiff

I don't know how good of a diff program nano is, though.

Edit: Actually that will not work at all. pacdiff is interactive.
