When creating a new platform node, the node form's Publish path field has advice for downloading a version of Drupal in its description. Unfortunately, it fails to provide the user with any idea of what should then be put into the Publish path text box.

My suggestion is to add something like:

The Publish path for this would be: /var/aegir/drupal

The attached image shows the field this bug refers to.

The problem is that everytime there's a new release of core, that path would change.

I think I'll just change 'The path on the filesystem' to 'The absolute path on the filesystem'.

I pushed changes per the attached screenshot.

Future work is already being planned to 'auto-fill' the publish path field.
