How to use distance_to_latest_tag to get the tag to specific kinds of tags?

Hi.

I'm trying to tag my develop releases but I don't want distance_to_latest_tag compute it against my latest tag (which can be a develop). I want it to be computed against my latest stable tag (which is a patch only tag)

How can I do this?
This is my config:

[tool.bumpversion]
commit = true
commit_args = "--no-verify"
current_version = "0.6.2.dev1"
message = "BumpVersion: updated from {current_version} to {new_version}"
parse = "(?P<major>\\d+)\\.(?P<minor>\\d+)\\.(?P<patch>\\d+)(\\.(?P<dev>dev\\d+))?"
serialize = [
  "{major}.{minor}.{patch}.{dev}{distance_to_latest_tag}",
  "{major}.{minor}.{patch}",
]
tag = true

[tool.bumpversion.parts.dev]
values = ["release", "dev"]

@coordt Sorry to bump this up, could you help me regarding this matter?

There isn't a way to differentiate between different types of tags.

I have been using a workflow where I bump and release the version, but do not commit or tag the changes. This saves on extra commits on the feature branch and accomplishes the result: dev releases.

I have this process automated in GitHub actions. The basic logic is "if you aren't on the primary branch, do a dev release."

Also, I'm sorry about the late response. I don't get notified when people create issues or discussions. I have to go looking for them, and sometimes miss them.
